      @@birdwoman.Birdman who built the walkway? I honestly can't get over the amount of work or the expense for the foundations if you paid a crew to do it! It's extremely impressive if that was done by 1 man with some random help. I see years of hard work there and it would have been the feature of that property that I would have found the hardest to part with. I'm extremely impressed with that walkway.

I respect that you’re going to keep the integrity of it. I’m not sure I’d want to rent it out. I think I’d want to live in this one and rent out the other one. Bless you!

We are inspired by all your work and plans. You are exactly the right person in the right place to now own this gem!
    (And BTW - We will love to be on your rental guest list someday! We are gardeners and unafraid to roll up our sleeves too! )
    Maybe a metal roof will be a good option? And the bidet is another very popular feature for European and trendy US guests in case you change your mind. Enjoy the Walk of Contemplation path - and it’s nobody’s business about the trees you clear. Protect the house from tree/limb storm damage and keep a clear fire circle from the house as well. Ask anyone living in towns wiped out by forest fires…. (Another reason for metal roof) thanks for sharing your property. You deserve it! Inspiring!

    I watched the first video of when you bought the cottage and I've been out of sorts for some time due to health issues and not on the web. I realize this video was a year ago but I have to say I absolutely love this cottage on the lake you purchased, it's a dream come true for so many of us and this place is amazing. The previous owner obviously put his heart and soul into it. The walkway he created through the swam to the point and beyond is beyond comprehension, people dream of finding a place like this to live and retire at and this place is it. I envy where you live, Nova Scotia looks so beautiful and away from the nightmare concrete hell so many of us live at today. I live in Seattle and it has become all but unbearable to live at now. I travel to Canada when I can and every time I do I don't want to leave, there's a fishing camp I got to in British Columbia called Meadow Lake Fishing Camp and it is an incredible place to get away in the middle of nowhere and fish, and hike and see the beautiful Canadian out doors. I ramble too much but I just can't get enough of that cottage, I look forward to seeing you bring it back to it's original glory and I have a dream to rent it some day for a month or two! Thank you for an excellent video and a great getaway from my nightmare life in Seattle.

AND thank you for sharing a little of your background...it's good for the young folks to be inspired by someone who has worked his way up to this...shows them it CAN and SHOULD be done. I'm so proud of you and I'm not even your mother lol! I also don't know how you could rent that beauty out but that's because I know the damage some renters can do to properties. That beauty is just too valuable to leave in strangers' hands BUT I've come to trust that you know that the heck you are doing - I'm eager to watch more of your videos and am excited about what your future holds that you are sweet enough to share with us! Keep up the good work!

      My daughter is paralysed in a wheelchair and has never been able to get through woods to be so near to a lake.
      That walkway is a gift to anyone who cannot walk very well and you would have so much interest from families who would never be able to ever stay in such a beautiful place.

That, of course, would be more expensive, as digging a trench that long is much, much more work than hanging a wire that distance. It's a shame the bank has those rules about mortgages. Solar and the generator would be much better for everyone.

    I’d love a full walk of meditation and contemplation video with you and the dogs. It would be really cool to only have the sounds of silence and nature to accompany it. It would be a beautiful and powerful auditory and visual journey through the wetlands and forest. I’d love to experience that and I think others would too. I feel like it would be rejuvenating and soothing for the heart, mind and soul. To just be silent and still in the cacophony of mother nature’s earth songs playing all around you… would be beyond healing and cathartic. Love it! 💗

    You mentioned that the previous owner was Swiss. I'm stereotyping perhaps but, the Swiss and Germans are known for their meticulousness when it comes to building structures, machines, as well as maintenance and record keeping. I toured a modern house built by an Amish family and it was the first and only house with wood stairs that didn't have a single creak. And the wiring coming out of the electrical panel was perfectly straight and all the wires laid flat without twisting and the retaining clips were aligned and spaced perfectly throughout the unfinished basement. Everything was pre-planned and detailed perfectly.
