    Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 your horse gate is not strong in nuff if she leanes over it it will break, don't worry about the planks getting wet in the shower room they don't live so long anyway and soon you will rebuild the main house and then you can shower there.

      We're very lucky that fly isn't a leaner. Before we built the gate there was just a piece of tape there and she never goes near fences, she's so well behaved especially as she can jump double that height hahaha. Hope you're having a good week 😊😊😊

    Good job guys!!! Just remember when setting up doors or gates cut your vertical boards at 1-2% angles on each side of where the doors meet in middle will give you slight gap to allow doors to open and not hit each other when they close but still not have a big gap on the outsides. Might need to see what your well pumps max head space is? If you are down 60-70 meters you will probably need 1 1/2 to 2 hp pump to get any real decent flow of water. If what you have now is 1hp pump at 60-70 meters that is pushing the limits at 60 meters and most likely be beyond the pumps ability at 70 meters.

    • @escapetothequinta
      @escapetothequinta  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Ahhh that's great advice about the angles that's in my brain forever now thankyou 😊. The pump is 1.5hp I believe so hopefully enough for what we need but we do need more power 😬

    The cutting board looks beautiful! What type of oil are you using on it? Ok you just answered my question so I'm editting, food grade oil! ❤That looks like a turnip!? Yum!

    • @escapetothequinta
      @escapetothequinta  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think your right on the turnip. I think it's a mix of tung oil and danish oil 🪔

  • @joyceb5864
    @joyceb5864 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    The vegetable looks like a rutabaga. Rutabaga and turnip are both root vegetables, but they differ in taste, appearance, and nutritional content. Rutabagas are larger, with a yellowish color and a slightly sweet, milder flavor. Turnips are smaller, often white or purple, and have a peppery taste. Rutabagas tend to be starchier and have more calories, while turnips are generally lower in calories and carbohydrates. Cooking methods can influence their textures and flavors.

    You guys are so creative. Love watching the progress you guys have made, as I’m new to the channel. Thank God the match incident wasn’t worse. I would get kittens checked for worms so the dog doesn’t get them. Animals are definitely like a dry run, before becoming actually parents 😆. Btw keep boxes you can cut them into strips, glue them together to make a scratch board for the cats. Many blessings and ❤

    @LifebyBertie 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    Heya you two, you had me at the first knot and totally lost me after the second hahahaha. Too bad it didn't work with the pump, this might be the reason why. Rule of thumb is, the longer a cable is the higher it's resistance will be and therefor the lower the output will be. it's called the law of Ohm. It could indeed be that the Stanley is not powerful enough. I could ask a colleague if you want to. The kittens are so funny!!! Nice going with the hatch there in the bathroom and I think the idea with those roofpanels could work nice as a wall, it will take away a lot of the charm of the wood though. Anyways, great plans so onwards. Oh, nice work with gate there as well and I am not going to say I told you so, finish those walls 😜 Have a great week!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤

      Thanks dude yeah I worked it out using ohms law and it's just on the cusp of working, such a shame I need to try and rent a generator with a bit more juice. I recon a 4kw one would be perfect. Yeah I would ideally like to see the wood as it's beautiful maybe some sort of plastic

    Great job with the gate and the pump guys! A lot of work I can see! About the pump I have one observation, if for some reason you need to take it out before putting it in use electrical tape and tape the pipe, rope and cable all together, every meter or so, this preventes premature wearing from the natural movement of the pump when going on and off inside the pipe, and if for some reason the rope or the cable fall to the bore it will get snagged on the tape! The pump might not be working because your generator is not giving the right voltage or frequency! If you have a way to do it make sure it is giving 230V 50Hz, the pump might not have strength to start otherwise!
