    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

    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.

      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:)

    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.

    • @old_school_moaboa

      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 😁

    They say climbers affects the walls, yours seems perfectly fine... May be i can try some on my roof 😂

    • @old_school_moaboa
      @old_school_moaboa  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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 😄

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.

      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.
