    I am in awe of the creative process that goes into building your stone walls.

      It's really hard work, and it takes time, but it's been so much fun... I'm pretty sure there will be more stone projects in the future... I really want to learn more about this craft... now I look to every stone wall see in a very different light... it's really fun

      I'm not going to lie.. I'm quite proud of wath I have build so far... very happy that I took the time to do it properly and didn't try to rush things just to get it done😀

    I love that you built there, you seemed to be drawn to that spot and first built the cave. The place has such a peaceful and private feel. It's so close, you have done great with the stonework, amazing.👍

    • @leavingbabylonfamily
      @leavingbabylonfamily  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I'm really in love with that spot... it feels very natural, very peaceful..it feels very much like home...

    Now I'm going to be eagerly awaiting your next update, I can't wait to see how the timber frame will look in place. With all the work you did on them it's very exciting to see it come together.👏

    The steps look better and it makes the timber part easier to do as well. Really impressed with how good it looks, well done, it must be rewarding to stand back and see what you achieved.👍

      Thanks a million! 😁 yeah it's unbelievable rewarding! It's been a process of pure love.. and the last few days I've been looking and starring for hours to wath I have build so far.. I'm really really pleased with it. Thanks for all your support and positive energy!

      🙏.. yeah it's still quite allot to do.. but things will progress a bit faster now ( I hope😆) and I got everything ready for the frame and roof. So that's a good step forward

    Make roof a bit higher so you can have loft bed and increase your liveable space...love the stone work, still no regular animal help, curious why?

    • @leavingbabylonfamily
      @leavingbabylonfamily  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I thought about that, but I don't really have the need for more space, I have very few things, and want to keep it that way. So the space I got should be enough for me... at some point I will make space outside also to have more living space.. and yeah , i haven't put in the time and effort to be training my mule idna to do more work. At this point she isn't at all capable of doing work... I do hope to find more time soon start training with her..

    By the way, that is persimmon, a variety that is not very common in most supermarket. They have to be very ripped to the point soft all around otherwise they can be "spite" ,an awful taste in your mouth. If they are very ripe, they can be very sweet but don't eat the skin though. There's another variety that's crunchy and hard, milder in taste. I love them all

    • @leavingbabylonfamily
      @leavingbabylonfamily  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I know there some different varieties, there's a man in Belgium who got a whole collection of different varieties.. here it Al seems to be the same variety.. their not my favourite, but once in a while they can be tasty

      It's lovely to hear you been following my journey so far! Thank you very much! Yeah it's been really satisfying to see this result, I know I will be looking to those walls and enjoying them in future years.. 😀 it's a bit like looking at a campfire burning.. always seeing new details in the stone, or contemplating on how it's build, how it's done right or wath could be done better... 😀

    Maybe you could open a Patreon account?
    Or buy me a coffee? (I think that's what they call it?)
    I have know idea what it involves?
    Just thinking how you could raise more money.
    I would definitely buy you a very large coffee.
    Love your life style...don't change a thing!
    Respect

    • @leavingbabylonfamily
      @leavingbabylonfamily  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah I thought about those things, I think I even started a patreon account, but didn't turned it active... I don't really want to have more work, and with patreon it's kinda expected to create extra content.. and I can't be bothered with that at the moment to be honest. 'buy me a coffee' I haven't heard of , I might check it out. But there is also the 'thank you' button here on TH-cam if you really want to support me , that's a option.. I think you can choose the amount you give to the content creator..and don't worry about my life style changing 😄 I don't know any other way of living my life the way I do it..
      Any way much love! And thanks for your support! That's really amazing!
