Emily, just a little tip about the pine needles in your raised beds: If they have turned brown after they’ve fallen off the trees, they are no longer acidic and make a great mulch for your garden. In fact, any organic material falling on your raised beds, either turn it back into the garden soil or else put it on a compost pile. Organic material is a free treasure for your gardens!
As an old crusty practical person my wife listens to me mutter throughout your videos and in a couple of videos time you mention the very thing I was muttering about! I must say it is a pleasure to watch you learn as you go and to see the appropriate use of safety equipment to protect yourselves. Well done and keep up the amazing work, it will all be worth it in the end.
I think the only thing you can do is get rid of those pine trees otherwise they’re going to be a complete bane of your life. You could always plant a couple of other trees.
For pine needle and debris in your gutters, there is a mesh you can put onto the gutter and it helps an awful lot. The roof looks fantastic. Finally it's happening for you. Bravo to you both.
Hi My two lovely’s, I thought you had forgotten us we miss you, So nice to have you back look forward to all your videos looks as if you are getting on very well it shouldn’t be long now before you are in with your feet up, Take care of yourself and stay safe.🛠️🛠️⭐️⭐️👍👍🌹
I can remember your first video and the daunting tasks that lay ahead. Just look at what you have achieved John and Emily, very well done guys.
Personally, as long as those trees are up you will get pine needles everywhere. If you don't want them then there's only one answer
Pine needles make fabulous mulch! Collect up the pine needles and add the to the top of the garden beds each year rather than digging your bed, this way it’s more of a no dig style, easier to maintain and the pine needles go to good use and keep the weeds down! Also the gutters you could try some sort of gutter guard, I’m not sure how practical it is but worth a try.
The pine trees look a bit old and unhealthy, I would chop them down ❤
Caught a glimpse of your laundry hanging to dry. 👏🧺 Also, you will figure out ways to deal with the pine trees. I agree with you, they deserve to stay. 🌲🌲🌲
Love seeing Maggie in the middle of what's going on . Great progress with the roof ❤
Oh my. You will have enough courgettes (zucchini in Canada) to feed the whole neighborhood. They are very prolific! We usually plant two and still end up giving lots away.
I am so pleased to see John using safety equipment. I watch a few U tube renovations and not all use safety equipment. Just remember no one plans to fall but it just happens so quick and a lot of damage can be done. Once that happens there is no turning back. Keep safe
There is no problem with paying attention to your dog. Love the videos, please keep them coming.
You guys look so happy and healthy. You Emily, are positively glowing and look beautiful. This life is obviously agreeing with you and I’m really pleased how things are working out for you. You both deserve your dream, because you work so hard.. keep it up guys, you’re getting there. Look how far you have come xxx
Those roof boards fitting so snugly was really satisfying to watch!
Blueberries love acidic soil and pine needles are great for this. Blueberries take up quite a bit of room and probably wouldn't do well in your greenhouse. They are better suited as a hedge. And take a couple years to become established. They are great in for use in homemade wine. Pine needles are also good fuel in your smoker when tending to bees. Most home improvement stores have guards that slip under shingles and attach very easily to your gutters. I installed them 4 years ago. I was cleaning gutters twice a year prior and haven't cleaned them since.
Your in the video advertisements are so well placed and smooth that I find myself watching through them as part of the show, great work.
For your roofing for your next build, you should always stagger your joints from row to row. You don’t want 2 rows lining up at the same joint line. It does give water easier ways to find a way into the seams. It gives a bit more stability too.
