Moa, I love the brick work on your house and the tour of your home was so cool.i know that you have much work to do ahead but focus on what it will look like later on. ...such a nice beautiful home.it amazes me how hard of a worker you are and I laugh at your funny ways you have a funny beautiful personality. And you make me tired just watching you work lol ...could be because I'm 67 yrs old...but even tho I've slowed down I'm still busy,sewing,crafts,rug braiding,making quilts,cleaning,canning,volunteering, helping others, but you have me beat young lady.lol That was soo neat watching the ivy fall down.take care and be safe ok.hugs
Yeah, the biggest chunk came off easy. But the tougher part, the type you were dealing with took most of the day and then one more to saw it off with a chainsaw. It was impossible to remove by hand 😬
What a mammoth task to remove that ivy. Girl you have nerves of steel climbing on to that roof and then also getting that epic shot of the ivy coming down. Great job! I always find it astonishing how much damage ivy can cause if left unchecked!
You did a fantastic job! That brickwork is beautiful. It looks like it wasn't too badly damaged by the ivy, which is surprising. That roofline though... scary! Glad you're all unharmed:)
Thank you! I was sure happy to be back on the ground. I don't know if you noticed how my hand was shaking when I climbed onto the higher roofline? It was scary
that shot of the ivy falling as you cut it from the top of the roof was so satisfying!! Just found your channel today and I am really enjoying your videos so far :D
Amazing work! You saved yourself thousands from what professional landscapers would charge and they would not have done any better. It was well worth it. That ivy was damaging the fabric of your lovely house. I can only guess the improvement inside the room with those two windows now cleared. The brickwork on your house is stunning. I love the beautiful herringbone pattern of the brickwork. You might want to consider cleaning the roof. I have seen videos of professional room cleaners, but I think you could do as good by yourself.
I want to clean it properly when I have managed to locate and fix all the small leaks here and there. Will probably do it myself and just rent a cherry picker and use a high pressure washer. But I want the inside of the roof exposed when I do this to spot any more eventual leaks. So a future fun job to do 😁
Well done indeed. Ivy looks so lovely until you see the utter destruction it causes to a building. I really admire your tenacity courage and sheer hard work in tackling such a beast. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We got a lot done, but it all went down in one day. Imagine if all jobs had such effect for one day's work like this job? I would never stop working ;-)
It was fine in most places. But for example in one place there was a crack above a window where the ivy clinged on and after 10 years it had expanded in the grace and disrupted the arc of bricks above the window. And it broke a few windows. Suffocated the roof (haven't check here for damage yet but remains to see when I renovate the roof). But my type of roof needs to be properly ventilated. And not to mention the damage on the foundation on the corner, there is a lot of damage to repair there. But all in all, there are good climbers and bad ones. Both could be used I suppose -when looked after properly 😄
@@old_school_moaboa I think your structure is pretty well strong, that's why minimal impact compared to houses in our place, Kerala... Here heavy monsoon causes havoc to the house due to no one cares about the structural strength or may be not aware of. And vines cause large amounts of moisture to walls and damage it.
@@old_school_moaboa and yes, allowing the climber to use it's brain, which it doesn't have, will be our mistake... And surely we can manage by timely pruning and restricting the growth.... But at times we get too busy with life and we neglect and we get a mini jungle. 😂 Hopefully I won't get a jungle 😂
Ha, I have one scary testimonial from a child that went to the school about a 100 year ago. Apparently the teacher was a real satanic monster towards poor children and beat them. The boy grew up and wrote down his school experiences in the 1980s and I found them on the online archives of a museum.
You should have cut the root and paint the root. Then leave it for few days. Now the connection to the earth is gone. That’s what we do when I see growth of IvY on the house.
You are fearless! Such an honorable thing you're doing to save this beautiful old school and make it your home.
Thank you 😃

Beautiful brickwork. I think if the Ivy was trimmed every year it might not have overgrown so much. Good job though. Well done!
Probably yes, one can not let ivy go on their facade without controlling it.
So satisfying to watch it peel itself off it some cases lol!

Brave you on top of the peak! That was impressive when the whole thing came down! Beautiful brickwork!
It looks fantastic with all the greenery gone!!😊

What a production! 💪🏼😃 Glad you’re safe back on the ground! Well done! ... and happy holidays! 🎄
Thank you! The recording was mostly made by Jordan and Judy in the video, so I owe a big thanks to them for helping me out that day
The brick work on your house is amazing 😍
Getting up on the ridges of that roof must have been pretty terrifying at first! Well done.
At first and still 😆
@@old_school_moaboa I just love how the wind usually kicks in when I bring out the ladder...living on the edge! 😆

Such beautiful masonry hidden under all that ivy!

Luckily I had some help. But climbing on the roof I couldn't ask the volunteers to do 😬
Had my heart in my mouth with you on the roof. I hate heights. A good job done though looks so much better
Otroligt fint hus. Räkna med många år av renovering.
Jag räknar med resten av mitt liv 😁 vilket var det jag önskade, behöver något att jobba med och som är utmanande
So happy to see you off that roof! That must have been scary. Great job removing the ivy. I bet the bedroom is so much brighter now.
Well before you couldn't even see out and it wasn't possible to open the windows 😬 so much better now 😁
So satisfying!!
What a great job!
💖🙏🇨🇦
Thank you 🫶
Wow, wow, wow! Such a hard work. Greetings from cologne Andy

Exquisite brick laying!
Amazing brick work
Shit vad modig du är. Jag fick svindel bara av att titta. Bra jobbat!
Haha det fick jag också när jag gjorde det. Men måste man så måste man
OMG, so brave of you!
I don't know if you noticed but I was shaking a lot on the top of the roof 😵💫 but it needed to get done so what are you gonna do? 🤷♀️
In cat timp a crescut aceasta Hedera Helix ?
I like how the way it goes. ❤
So did we, we couldn't believe it. But the rest of it was as hard as the first part was easy
They say climbers affects the walls, yours seems perfectly fine... May be i can try some on my roof 😂

And with at least 50 cm gap between foundation and the bed

@@_R.T_ I wish the best of luck to with this. Love Kerala, I have spent some time in Varkala and the surrounding area. Great seafood!
Why do I have a feeling we'll be seeing this house featured on Nukes top 5 😅

But I haven't seen any paranormal. But I am also not open to that
Varför hyrde ni inte en skylift. Det hade varit toppen till just detta jobbet, men resultatet bliv ju bra :)
Det behövdes ju uppenbarligen inte.
Det gjorde jag nästa gång jag skulle upp på taket. Underskattade verkligen hur brant det var 😳
Nej men det var lite farligt så som jag gjorde, jag kunde ju inte vara fastspänd när jag förflyttade mig 😬 men det gick ju bra som tur var
@@old_school_moaboa skönt att veta det är högt upp och det blir lätt halt av löv och annat. tur du tänker på säkerheten.

That’s what we do when I see growth of IvY on the house.
Will do next time 🙂
Wow !
😁
WOW! GO GO girl power ;)
💪💪💪
OMG!
Rent a cherry picker next time
That was my precisely my thought after all was done 😄 in the next videos when I work on the roof I use one
Just found your Instagram ID a few mins ago and came here to subscribe to your channel and watch your videos💖 You're doing amazing 😍
Thank you, that means the world 🥰
