I like vines also but have reservations also. They will separate the mortar and brick, siding, etc. Messy looking when they die and leave marks. I hope you ask about it while you’re there and share with us.
Zeb, you already have an old church building, remember? Lol What an amazingly huge tree at in the church yard. Love all the stone work everywhere! Thanks for sharing this! ❣️
I love salvage yards. You sure did show our beautiful countryside. I live near a big old church and I love hearing the bells. Fingers crossed for Buttercup tomorrow ❤
So glad you included the architecture and landscapes of your trip. I love seeing the details of things like the churches and the railing on that bridge. I wish we were as into aesthetics and longevity here in the US. I know it’s more expensive to decorate buildings and to make cool walkways and paths but I wish there was more of that attention to detail by the local government funded walkways and paths. Make it a more beautiful experience to get out and walk to places. Everything here is geared towards driving to get everywhere. Anyways, loved watching this one, Zeb. Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
There are trellises that stand out from the building, so that the wall is not compromised. There are also architectural trellises for building walls in commercial construction.
Oh Jami and Zeb! This is all absolutely gorgeous! I did a screenshot of the sheep on the terraced land to print. I didn’t think you’d mind and it should be beautiful when done. I did a separate screenshot (to print) of the one where the one sheep out of what appears to be hundreds behind it turned to look at you. Those gorgeous sheep with the gorgeous black and white faces that followed! Oh be still my heart! Zeb, you should have an Etsy shop for those beautiful photos! ♥️ But next time tell them to take those tower thingys out of the shot! 😅 It’s hard to take an “Old World”looking photo with cell phone towers in it 😂 Oh! And don’t even get me started about that fancy “chicken coop”! 😅♥️
You could put a trellis or cattle panel and put it up against the cottage and grow some Virginia Creeper up it. That would keep it from degrading the walls, I think, and look pretty. It turns a really pretty red in the fall and has purple berries.
Yay!! Georgia license plate!!! I’m from Georgia, southeast Georgia, 35 minutes from the coast! By the way, I love the silver RV trailer the Georgia tag was on!!!
Great video. There is a noninvasive plant that growns on walls in the us. We've had it growing on the exterior walls of our airbnb cottage. We do have to prevent it from growing into the eves. However, it's not frequent, about once a month. You get the look without the structural concerns. I wish that I could somehow send you pictures. It has small leaves, and it requires "shaving" about once a month. Again, great video.
I love old architecture to! Thanks for taking us so long to see it all in England. I vote yes to the window boxes, it would make the cottage have a charming feel.
Wonderful video, Zeb! I have had fountains/water features in my yard and they are a huge amount of work: keeping the slime out, keeping mosquito larvae out so we don’t get West Nile Virus or some other horrible disease, making sure the pump doesn’t run dry and replacing and replacing the pump! I finally hauled mine away! And when we moved, our new house had one that I had to haul away too. Looks romantic, but …….
Thank you both how nice to watch your video from U K it was quite humbling love the ideas your thinking of doing to your cottage I’m sure you can turn your hand to anything Zeb even a documentary you done good 😊😊
Love all the great stone work. Zeb you’re correct to be concerned about vines on your buildings. There are lots of ways to get the look without having them right on the building. Whatever you do don’t use Ivy. It will work it’s way into every crack and crevasse and under shingles. It can even ruin mortar. Use trellises about a foot away from the building and climbing roses, clematis or honeysuckle.
Loved going with you both on your adventures and I live in the uk, I have those stone walls zeb likes good thing my husband can build them and maintain ours, peacocks are too noisy my friend had lots but they had a smallholding with no near neighbours, lovely to see buttercup she looks in calf to me fingers crossed for you ❤ xx
Jami and Zeb, I just did a home inspection on a house in Tucson with vines on it (I loved them and they were beautiful) but the house and the tile roof had been very damaged by the vines, to the point of cracking the tiles and even getting under them. There was SO MUCH damage. I wouldn't suggest vines after that but you two have the skills to fix the damage, if it occurs, so there's that.
Loved this video! Watched you while there and now that you are home! Love the details like the stone walls, the Midieval-style church door, the green green grass and all those 🐑🐑🐑 and, of course, your thrifting!😁 Glad you both had a great time and that you are home safely!❤ 👍
I have to tell you...Listening to you describe areas, architecture is so amazing!! Zeb you could be a tourist guide...lol! Love it and then Cute Jamie with her comment s! 😂Cast iron emema! How do you pick the music, always an added bonus!❤🤩
I always said my love of stones comes from having Welsh Blood running through my veins…..I think I hyperventilated during this whole video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ What phenomenal scenery you shred with us ! I would have thought I died and went to heaven! Why was there “pink or blue” dye on the sheep’s butts ? Don’t tell me people needed to know “ewe or ram?” 🤔 Can you imagine if those huge trees behind the Church could talk! What history they could tell us! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS FABULOUS TRIP and sharing the sites! Loved every moment !! God bless 🙏🙏
The rams wear a paint harness on their chest. When they have mated the farmer knows which ram mated which sheep by the color marked on their bum. No color means they are open. I learned this from watching "The Sheep Game" on TH-cam.
@@yumikodebold6197 That makes perfect sense ! Thank you 👍. I’ve seen dye on cows that are “dry” or something like that, but not having sheep farms around us ( and I can tell the different between male / female) I couldn’t figure out the color on them 🤔
You can build a trellis or two. Hinge it away from the structure so it will detach, liying flat on the ground to maintain the vine or in time, repaint or clean the siding and then lift it back up and reattach. My explanation is probably confusing but I saw this done by Elliot Coleman on Gardening Naturally in the 1990s.
Thanks Zeb for this video -- love all the architectural details you shared. Can't wait to see how some of this gets incorporated into the little cottage! And looking forward for the news on Buttercup. Fingers crossed!
I had no idea you both had this separate channel until you (Jami) mentioned it when you guys were in the UK or you may have mentioned it in the first haul video, I can’t remember, either way, YAYYYYY!!! I love Yaw!!!
Watch some videos from Chateau owners, they are British that they work hard restoring this very old buildings in France. You can learn a lot of how they restore. I know the use lime not cement, lime breaths, cement doesn’t.
ZEB CAN YOU NOT USE THE PVC PIPES WITH CONNECTORS AND FOR THE TOP PIECE USE ONE OF THOSE CRAVEY FANCY FLOWERS POTS FOR THE TOP PIECE AND PAINT THE WHOLE THING BLACK AND SECURE IT WITH BRACKETS
"One of my dreams is not to necessarily have an old church...". Lol You HAVE an old church! 😂😂😂
haha, you're right! but not that old!
A greenhouse out of windows would be awesome in front of the shop. Thanks for the beautiful tour

Love this video! So beautiful. Great music you added. Oh sweet Buttercup! Hope all is well and you really do have a Baby Buttercup! 🐄
You can't beat England for history and beautiful architecture and countryside.

As far as gutters, when we go up to Notre Dame University, in northern Indiana, they have copper guttering on that order. That is so beautiful.

They definitely have people out walking. Even in the smaller villages and towns. People walk everywhere

Loving the videos of countryside and architecture. Glad y’all are back safe and sound.👍💕💕

Good to know! Maybe a birdbath!
Next time you go check out the stately homes - chatsworth house is stunning decorated for Christmas.

Thank you for taking us on this tour of England. The architectural details were very interesting.
That architectural salvage shop was awesome!
hey!you shared superb , adios! Jami! =)
Loved this.

Beautiful video❤
Choose your vine carefully so its one that does not eat into the structure. Try a wisteria - the flowers are beautiful and old fashioned

I would prefer to not have to repair so vines are probably out

A greenhouse made of old windows and doors would be right you y’all alley.
Love it!, everything.👍🏻😁
I have to tell you...Listening to you describe areas, architecture is so amazing!! Zeb you could be a tourist guide...lol! Love it and then Cute Jamie with her comment s! 😂Cast iron emema!
How do you pick the music, always an added bonus!❤🤩
music is typically dictated by where we are and what we're doing. I felt like England deserved a country garden sound track 🙂
@@jamiandzeb❤Great choice! On the money😊

I think they sort them with paint. Pregnant, not pregnant, one lamb, two lambs. That sort of think
@@jamiandzebAnd who mated with who.
The rams wear a paint harness on their chest. When they have mated the farmer knows which ram mated which sheep by the color marked on their bum. No color means they are open. I learned this from watching "The Sheep Game" on TH-cam.

Totally makes sense
Love the video, we had grown vines once( never again) 👧🏻
Just gorgeous there . I think I belong in England 😊
It has a special magic
Thanks Zeb for this video -- love all the architectural details you shared. Can't wait to see how some of this gets incorporated into the little cottage! And looking forward for the news on Buttercup. Fingers crossed!
That is an Espalier Tree I think, that is a more Manageable approach!
I had no idea you both had this separate channel until you (Jami) mentioned it when you guys were in the UK or you may have mentioned it in the first haul video, I can’t remember, either way, YAYYYYY!!! I love Yaw!!!
hehe, you've got some catching up to do if you feel like a binge lol. ❤❤
@@jamiandzeb “the binge is on, the binge is ooon” 🎶 🎵
The garden pottery is to die for. You simply cannot find terracotta like that here
I think you should buy a place in England. Fix it up and run it as an air b&b. Then when you go visit you will have a place to stay.
I like this idea!
Dry stane dyking as we say in Scotland
Loved this video 💗
It's all so inspiring!!! ❤
Zeb ivy will degrade a building but a Virginia creeper vine, which is very popular in the UK and France, if safe to climb a building.
Good to know! I’ll look into it.
Watch some videos from Chateau owners, they are British that they work hard restoring this very old buildings in France. You can learn a lot of how they restore. I know the use lime not cement, lime breaths, cement doesn’t.
This is a great video! Speaking of sheep you guys never talk about your do you still have them?
We had to give them away a few months ago in anticipation of Buttercups calf. We can only have so many animals in our space in the city.
Aww what a bummer 🥹❤️
They have gutters in all colors now
What about chain instead of down pipes on the cottage? It looks great and is something just a bit quirky/different
In a freezing environment, it’s a bad idea. The rain freezes and it gets too heavy and pulls down where it’s attached.
@@cynthiafisher9907 oh sorry, I live in Australia it’s not something that would occur to me
That reminded me of your church. Do you have a church bell?
we don't. there's currently no tower for a bell.
No vine on building ! It s a full time job controlling it……and difficult to kill when you are done withit
Your neighbors will run you out with peacocks! Our neighbors are 3/4 mile away am we hear their peacocks screaming!!!
They are so noisy!
Aren’t peacocks loud?
They are. We’ll probably stick to chickens
ZEB CAN YOU NOT USE THE PVC PIPES WITH CONNECTORS AND FOR THE TOP PIECE USE ONE OF THOSE CRAVEY FANCY FLOWERS POTS FOR THE TOP PIECE AND PAINT THE WHOLE THING BLACK AND SECURE IT WITH BRACKETS
That may work, I just worry about the sun out here rotting the pipe after a few years. PVC can get brittle in the sun.
Vines attract rats. My daughter lives on two acres and hears her neighbors peacocks. They are noisy!!!!
Great video!
