The struggle is real 🤯 This brings back so many “back breaking” memories. After my husband’s retirement, of 23 years military service, in 2008 we have just gotten to the point of our “up keeping” process on our property. We had nothing but undeveloped land at first and our home is new. I could not imagine yard work and renovating like y’all are doing 🤯😱🤯😱 It does get easier but it never stops 😘
Guys work so hard I couldn’t believe it can’t wait to see You moved in and see how it looks when you’re finished hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy until the next video
This dude is either really bored, or loves doing everything the hard way. A large portion of the driveway could've been done in an hour with a chainsaw and a pressure washer 😂
@@BuiltToScale laughing it off is so easy, just put a smiley here and there and its good right?? you can chainsaw all you want you won,t get the stump/roots out to cut it under the groundlevel. why does he need to rent/ buy a chainsaw for a couple of small trees? he cuts it into small pieces probably for his fireplace, and to move it off the lot in a wheelbarrow and its easier to do that while the tree/brush is still somewhat standing. a pressure washer will blow the dirt out between the cobblestones making it look stupid and even worse to clean because the dirt keeps coming out getting an uneven look a pressure washer is the last thing you wanna use if the cobblestones are not cemented.
Illia developing skills as he works through tasks. We're watching him analyze, and develop process of cutting, chopping and whacking the growth into pieces. You will now have access to inside those out buildings for your needs! Warmest regards from Texas, U.S.A.!
Great videos, you two are hard workers, you are making outstanding progress on your farm. We did a similar remodel on our farm here in USA, state of Iowa. Keep at it, be safe, enjoy the process.
Are you making a homestead with chickens and other animals and vegatable gardens and flower gardens? What will this area be used for? A kitchen garden? Will you be showing updates and work on inside of home? An introduction as to how you found your home and what your plans are?
@@DeHoeveNoTalkJustWork could you have hired a chainsaw, a safety helmet n some protective chaps? you'd have had all that chopped out n chopped up in one hr.!!! your work ethic is massively impressive but prioritising the "work smart, not hard" jobs would benefit you too.|
Consider: Use a chain hoist on a tripod or gantry to lift stumps and roots out of ground. Do you have a chipper for the small sticks? Have you started a compost system? Even a small tumbler can dispose of lots of natural material to nice compost in 1 - 3 months. Ah yes! A friend with an excavator works great also.

Even a small off cut of copper tube wors hammer it flat an knock it in last tree we got rid off we drilled a hole hammered in copper tube offcut and filled it with weed killer crystals worked really well
Amazing! Even at night the work still proceeds! I was saddened to see you cut down what looks like a white birch tree, but I guess you had your reasons for doing so, maybe it was in the way? Or, because it was leaning? Roots too close to foundation? Whatever, it's likely you will plant other nice trees away from the house in due time.
Goodness Ilia. I feel so sad for you having to cut those trees. I had same issue on my property and it has been on going for me to remove them over the last year. I am almost finished, but it was so awful. Nothing seemed to work very well. It took so long to do each tree I would say only one and I’ll do more next time. I know to have a professional do it would only take a short time. But it is very expensive of course, because it is so laborious. Only time you will be happy is when you finally finish.
Please, just get a chainsaw. A small one will work. Also, a logging chain you can tie to an axle to pull those stumps out. Also, you could use a chain with car jack and fulcrum to pry the stumps out of the ground.
Have you SEEN what is under those trees..? You can’t just yank them out… the other section they did was ALL COBBLESTONE..!! It was gorgeous,when they were done..!! Good thing they didn’t try that fix..!
@@miachambers830 If they don’t remove the roots, they will continue to grow. Cobblestones can be repaid. The car jack and fulcrum would be the easiest to control. Regardless of whether the roots were removed or not, a chainsaw would have saved HOURS of work in the back courtyard and front courtyard.
Yes a good small chainsaw or replicator saw I use for frangipani....brush cutter ...you would have been done in 1/4 time illia... lol great job thou..You have much to do look after you're back now ...get better tool x
It looks like a long and painful process getting rid of those threes, I watched what you uploaded at the time but I had no idea what Illia had gone through. Well done mate, there were sections of this video where you were working in the dark with a floodlight when I really wanted you to stop or get some help. I'm only about 60 miles away but 30 of that is across the Channel! Nick
It was actually quite fun to work in the late evening: resting from the fulltime job, enjoying the silence around, full moon above heads. Felt even romantic ☺️
If you use salt ( rock salt) on your cobblestones where you took trees out from it will keep all of the vegetation from growing back ( a natural way of weed killer and tree stump killer)
Thank you, Janice! I like this building a lot, but it has cracks in the walls behind and will fall apart in the near future. We plan to save just right part of it as part of the history and the foundation to reuse as very small terrace for evening cup of tea :-)
Thank you for this "special video". I could see that Ijlja wasn't used to remove a tree. I learned a lesson; When you plant a tree, dig a hole.when you remove a tree, dig a hole!I think Ijlja could smell the wood. It stinks like pee. Therefore I hope you didn't suspected to burn the wood, it is possible but the smell... awfull
It's understandable why the trees need to be removed... There's much renovation that will take place over time and these would be in the way. The soil conditions are not ideal and the way these saplings have grown into trees, they're too close to the structures and will, can, and have done damage especially with the roots. They were left to grow wild and therefore with improper trimming, they are unsightly. They are not a beneficial tree like a fruit tree or a tall tree that can provide lots of shade without being in the way of the height of an average person.

I think he loves the process. I enjoy watching the way you approach your tasks.
I hope your farmhouse is safe from all the flooding. And you too.
We are safe and fine, but a bit wet :-) we show what happened to us in the next video on the main channel.
I hope you guys are safe from the floods, and your property too. Thinking about you, sending good wishes for safety

I'm impressed with all the work you do with the tools you have. Good job. Hugs from Washington State, USA
Work smarter, not harder. Get the right tools for the job. As a homeowner you will eventually need them again.
This dude is either really bored, or loves doing everything the hard way.

you can chainsaw all you want you won,t get the stump/roots out to cut it under the groundlevel.
why does he need to rent/ buy a chainsaw for a couple of small trees?
he cuts it into small pieces probably for his fireplace, and to move it off the lot in a wheelbarrow and its easier to do that while the tree/brush is still somewhat standing.

You are one of the hardest working couples I have ever seen.

I hope you are all well, stay safe and god bless
Ilia, too much is too much!! Don't burn yourself out. ❤
Well, you’re sure not afraid of hard work! Great job! Your persistence and a little help from an excavator got the job. 👍

Chain saw with 12 inch blade. Battery operated much loved tool in my tool bag.
GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, TELL EVERYBODY HELLO FOR ME AND MY WIFE, LOVE THE CAT ALSO...
Hooray for Ilyana for tackling those stubborn bushes. I was getting tense just watching. Shrubs and trees can be so tenacious
こつこつと精一杯やってる感じが伝わって応援したくなりますね
シンプルで好きです
You need a chain saw. Noisy but so worth it. My arms ache just watching this.
Wow, that was an incredibly hard job! Way to go finishing it up!
А сама очень люблю такую работу, когда вместо заброшенного, заросшего и захламленного места появляется красота
Берёзку жалко...
Monotonous. BUT WE LOVED IT
My muscles are sore just watching this.
Enjoyed the show
I always think you are forgetting us but then you move the camera. Thank you, Illia !!
Are you making a homestead with chickens and other animals and vegatable gardens and flower gardens? What will this area be used for? A kitchen garden? Will you be showing updates and work on inside of home? An introduction as to how you found your home and what your plans are?
Great job! 👏❤️
You did all that without a chainsaw, very impressive (but much more work)!
If there is a next time, I am in Brussels and happy to help with a professional chain saw
Thank you very much ☺️ we didn’t buy it because we didn’t have that many trees to cut. Just few…

Jobs like this require music and beer 🕺🍻
a billhook it's perfect for this tipe of job, really a time saver
That tool always Break, not only you, everybody, Lot of Branches, turned into Project. Good Job 👍🥰🇺🇸
Much better!
Just a little helpful tip…if you hammer in a copper nail into the root. It will help to slowly kill the tree/bush.
Many thanks for the tip, Rhonda! We will try it out.
Even a small off cut of copper tube wors hammer it flat an knock it in last tree we got rid off we drilled a hole hammered in copper tube offcut and filled it with weed killer crystals worked really well
Aha ha…love the branch reward for all your efforts. How about branch soup 🥣🤣. Hard work and great work! Big project unto itself 😀
Well done 👍🥃🍺🍺

A come-along makes it so much easier lol...
I liked the video you are a hard working man. I wish you had better tools to work with.
It will be good firewood in a year or two. 👩🌾👍
An average 3bedroom home would go through at least 4 cords of wood or more for heating per year. That's no where near 1 cord.
We would have heaters in the rooms downstairs but just for fun. We won’t heat with wood.
It would be nice to reuse this wood as firewood.
He is using a pair of Loppers. A sharpened jaw on these things and they are very useful. Used a pair myself.
Two words to make your life WAY easier: POWER TOOLS
Don't get me wrong, your work ethic is AMAZING!!!
I do hope and pray you all are safe from the floods.

Happy to hear you are almost done :-) There are jobs that we like, and jobs that we hate. But unfortunately both need to be done.
What are your plans for all these outbuildings?
SAW!
Используйте хороший лом для выкорчёвывания, работает отлично
Спасибо :-) к счастью, у нас не так много уже осталось.
chain saw is the right tool for this kind of worl ,
What was that building used for? Is the kiln that was used to make their tiles in there?
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Your never going to make a lumberjack, but nice job of getting them out of there
If you can get a hand held chain saw you could get those trees down quickly.
Vous avez beaucoup de merites. ..bravo !!! I subcribe
Are you using a reciprocating saw?
Not sure why I keep being surprised that every time they dig a hole on this property they're pulling up bricks.
So much brick.
Yes you could use a come along we call them to pull out stumps a lot easier than you are doing
Yes a good small chainsaw or replicator saw I use for frangipani....brush cutter ...you would have been done in 1/4 time illia... lol great job thou..You have much to do look after you're back now ...get better tool x

What is stored in the large metal tank ?
Looks like an old fuel tank...perhaps oil for heating the farm house?
Idd, old fuel tank. They stored diesel for tractor and other machines in it. We have disposed it already.
Aye you’re right, very monotonous..
Wow, that was tedious. The correct tools would have made it so much easier!
Yes invest in a good chain saw or rent one for a day would have saved you a lot of hard work
Have you decided what you will do with your buildings in the backyard?
Seriously, someone get this poor man a chainsaw.
Eine Kettensäge wäre vielleicht angebrachter.
Dann dauert es nicht so lange 😉🤣
Not sure what they're called in Belgium but you need a large axe, a mattock, and a spud bar.
Be careful swing that hatchet by your feet. That work goes easier when you have someone else to haul off the brush.
Chain saw?
If you use salt ( rock salt) on your cobblestones where you took trees out from it will keep all of the vegetation from growing back ( a natural way of weed killer and tree stump killer)
Things look better every time I see it. Can the little red brick building behind the bushes be saved or is it too far gone? Thank you for this video.
Thank you, Janice! I like this building a lot, but it has cracks in the walls behind and will fall apart in the near future. We plan to save just right part of it as part of the history and the foundation to reuse as very small terrace for evening cup of tea :-)
@@DeHoeveNoTalkJustWork Those roof tiles might be worth saving
This video is make a few months ago?
Before they demolished the piggery 🤔
The description says it was in February. 🙂
Thank heavens...it would have to be after midnight for it to be so dark in the summer.
A small electric chainsaw costs less than 30 euro, and because it's electric, it's a lot quieter for working at night.
Thank you for this "special video".

I want to buy you a chain saw..😩😩
👍🏻❤️🇨🇦
keep going. you will make money doing other land
I think I would have rented a chain saw.
Hard to watch foolishness when there are great tools available. Good grief.
Maybe 🤔 a chain saw 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Ilia, Get a chainsaw!! You will need it down the road. Great job but too much labor and time. Stay safe.
Chainsaw and wood chipper machine would have been allot quicker
You should offer free room and board for volunteers to help you.
Buy a chainsaw. It takes about 1 hour to cut those bushes. It is frustrating to watch someone work so unefficiently
hmm recasting the video? i know today those trees is already gone 4 months ago.
It's understandable why the trees need to be removed...

onde esta o Jorge Alberto (gato)... que não apareceu no video?
Where do you get your energy man?
you work so late at night. Do you live not far from the farm?
Мне очень жаль, что выбросили столько древесины, ведь это дрова, у вас есть пекарня с печью и наверняка камин
As I watch this I assume that you do not have a tractor. You need one
The birds will have nowhere Togo and it looks so bare with no trees. I don't understand.. Why all of them!
If only you had a chainsaw... It surely be a fast job😊
Tá tudo bem na sua região? Foram afetados pela chuva? Espero que estejam bem.
Go Buy a chain saw.
why waste time with a chainsaw, it would be done quickly
This job would have gone fast with a chainsaw. Husqvarna or Stihl brands are the best and will last you for many years.
Don't they rent chainsaws in Europe?
Why not use a chainsaw? All those trees would be down in a morning.
