I did laugh at how nerdy Kayvan got over his ground source piping lol. Let him have his moment 😂. Maybe create his own segment for these technical updates
A good general overview for us non- nerds and a technical side bar for those who love this kind of information may be a good way forward. Kayvan's lovely calm voice did have me nod off for a bit until his monologue was interrupted by the request for some feedback. I am thoroughly enjoying your vlogs and am in admiration of both of you for your work ethic, joy, and love of homesteading. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
don't know anything about heat pumps and all that. but I sat here mesmerized by Kayvan's explanation of all. There is a beauty to listen to someone who is so detail oriented. I am a coder like he is, and I can see him in a meeting room, explaining the project design, every last detail is handled, all questions answered. Lovely! this episode was a geek's dream.
I have no clue what he is talking about too! But still it’s interesting what both of you are doing to make your home habitable and cozy! Videos only about apples and blueberries wouldn’t show the reality! Even if your crumble with that amazing custard in those beautiful hand made bowls looks sensational! So I suppose it’s about the mix of all of your activities which makes your channel so authentic and entertaining. Thank you for another lovely episode!
For me I love the detail, you could always put a note at the start of when he gets technical saying “fast forward to X minute if you don’t want the detail”
Keep the detail. If someone doesn't want to hear all that, they can fast forward. I agree with the do-it-right-the-first-time philosophy. I say it like this: "If you don't have time to do it right, when are you going to have time to do it over?" and, "Any job worth doing is worth doing right." You can tell: I hate things done sloppily!!! Love you guys and love your videos.
Before becoming disabled I had a tremendous garden.Nasturtium is not only beautiful, but edible. A bit peppery and lovely in salads. I used to stuff the flowers with various spreads. I grew borage as well. Also delightful with a cucumber flavor and great in various presentations.
The best thing in this channel is your laugh. I always know that there will be plenty of laughter if I watch your videos. Thank you for making me smile with you.
I enjoy Kayvan's technical talk. Mostly because of his passion for the topic. Lovely to hear the plans for the driveway and also the nice bit of kit that will be your heating system. So, not a problem for me. Very informative.
Did I competely dissociate when he started spouting technical jargon...absolutely. Do I get second hand joy watching someone nerd out over a topic they are obviously passionate about? Also yes. Keep being nerdy K. We need all the nerdy rep we can get in this world!
I genuinely think that the bit I enjoy and get most from is Kayvan's explanations on how and why things are being done the way they are! Please keep those parts in the videos!!!
Not a technical detail girl myself, but he's clearly passionate about it so I try to listen and learn. Every day's a school day (and I can always fast forward if I'm nodding off - bless him)!
Can't wait for you all start on the cottage. Wish I was there to help. I am 77 years old, and been married for 55 years. You two remind me of our relationship. God Bless You! I r3cently got into woodworking several years ago..
I really respect his knowledge and how much research and education goes into to his decisions on the renovation. It’s admirable and enviable. You could provide people with a numerical marker if they choose to fast forward on the detail. Because there probably are some that are wanting the details on the piping and heat pump etc. I’m not personally one of them but I’m sure it’s very helpful to others.
I'm jealous of that crumble. Kayvan has obviously done a lot of research and this will be of interest to a lot of people, let the man talk. Well done on growing so much from seed.
That sunset at the beginning looks like the sky just before 8pm on 15th September, those warm sunny calm days were a treat. Usually the summer is better, although there are can be storms, fog. The philosophy of doing something once and doing it right is very wise.
I think it's great that kayan gets into sharing plenty of detail, the right person will be grateful..I've investigated that system but Kayan has gone into more detail than I've found on websites. Thanks for your sharing and your positivity. Love it ❤
I understood everything about ground source heat pump,I have air source heat pump! I live in rural Scotland, we have had a dry,sunny September! After the farmers have harvested the potatoe fields, you can take a large bucket & collect all the potatoes that are still in the field! Free,fresh potatoes, yummy 😋
I appreciate hearing about the work that has to happen before the work can be done to support the work…. Amazing that decision-fatigue hasn’t already set i! Happy Fall to you!🍁
Yes all that technical detail about your heat source pump and piping et cetera. I’m afraid did go over my head quite a bit it was interesting to listen to but I hadn’t clue what he was talking about and some things.
The main attraction of this channel for me is to see how Kayvan is getting on with the cottage renovation. I really like his thought process. So please keep the detail! And keep up the good work - a Co. Mayo viewer 😀
Better understand your goals now! Very impressed how mindfully you approached your lifestyle change and renovation plans. Will enjoy life while you are renovating!!! Great idea instead of singleminded approaching cottage fix up!!❤
We have learned from our past mistakes. Inevitably there will be times when something dominates the schedule, a give and take, an ebb and flow. Life is too short to put on pause. Thanks for following along
You may want to harvest your dill and other herbs before they flower (or bolt) as it affects the flavor. They become quite bitter and off putting for some peoples’ palates. LOVE your garden! What an amazing job for your 1st year there! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Re: Harvest before flowering, was aware it affects many plants. I don't remember noticing the Dill flavour change, maybe it was gradual and used to it now. Will try and experiment with this next season. Thnaks for following along.
I’m with you and don’t understand the technical details, but they are an important part of your shared journey, so I think it’s important to keep them in! Besides which, seeing Kavan getting animated over pipes and trenches is properly entertaining 😅
I like it when Kayvan goes over the details of things, even if I do not understand it all it is very interesting and I'm sure it will be to many. September is a joyful month for harvesting. 😊
Definitely would love for Kayvan to do a video with full details with his outlook for the works , he really has done diligence for all the necessary equipment and works needed ,.....😊
Cracking vidio, all that detail as good as it is I think it would hold me back😂 (I live on a narrowboat) the game changer for me was the blackberry and apple crumble with home made custard😋 awesome ❤
I must confess my eyes glazed over somewhat when Kayvan started talking about pipes and manifolds, but realise that someone out there does speak his language, plus it's great to see his enthusiasm even if I don't understand 😂
I agree bee keeping would be great. We bought 2 hives and we're just about to harvest the honey and a bear smashed the hives and took the honey. After that happened we were told to put an electric fence around the hives.
FYI. The calendula you have in with your nasturtiums Make wonderful healing lotions and lip balm. It’s easy to extract the oils from your flowers and make many different things. Look it up. It is great for babies for diaper rash, lip balm and healing creams when your skin is irritated or cut. Minutes tapioca makes a good thickener in your cobbler as well. Great show 🇨🇦
I was just watching Homesteading With the Zimmermans here on TH-cam. In a particular video she was talking about how to preserve a plethora of eggs. She made egg noodles and put hers in canning jars. Just another creative idea for eggs.
Even though I won't be doing ground heat any time soon (sadly, ever?), I am actually Very interested in the details and details of future builds, etc. And with the wonderful wonderful lack of music, the sound of his voice is calming. I can be doing other tasks and have different levels of focus depending on what grabs me that day/moment. And I can replay sections if I want to go back and really focus on details that my brain glossed over. And for anyone closer to doing this same work, it is Priceless to have the details. For many of us, one day we might find ourselves diving even deeper into these sustainable practices and we can do a search on your channel to slowly go through your experience with it. I think you are getting the mix just right; beautiful quiet nature and all the ebbs and flows of your whole experience. 😊
Sorry, but when K starts talking my eyes cross and I drift off into some sonorous alternate universe. Yes, To your daughters perfectly timed dry wit. 😆 Your love of life shines through in your laugh and you're why I am here. 😄
I think a sketch of how the geothermal heat pump will be laid out would be great, maybe overlaid on top of an aerial shot of your land? Just so the bits & pieces we see on the vids make sense in context. You inspired me to go pick the last of our blackberries and make my own apple blackberry crumble, so cheers for that! My family thank you for the surprise dessert!
I watched an episode where you bought a commercial trailer and sold the caravan to get it renovated for winter to have a place to live while renovating the cottage. I usually watch every episode and you both are doing amazing.
I will be honest. When Kayvan starts explaining things, I understand nothing most of the time haha but it's okay, others might find it interesting and it's not bothering me to listen to him. Love your videos!
There is always someone who will benefit from Kayvan's research - and we can all marvel at what is going into making your cottage liveable. I for one find it genius to use the broken up pieces of the concrete flooring for filling the wire cages - as I'm a devotee of repurposing and upcycling. Having said that - I also totally agree on going for the best products possible when you do need to buy new - as the investment pays for itself over the years - and, as Kayvan says - he plans to only do it once. Thank you again for sharing all these aspects with us. AND - the bowls, crumbles and custard are a delight to see. By the way - I myself always nip the flowering/bolting parts of basil off, as the flavour changes. Basil is a wonderfully easy plant to re-grow from plant parts, so if handled well - you won't need the seeds anyway. I also live in a northern country, so pot up some - or create a hanging plant of basil to overwinter. The basil scent is a delight to have during the winter - and the hanging plant is beautiful. Looking forward to your next video!!!
Thanks for taking the time to write such a wonderful comment. Our Basil was not a happy plant really. It came up with the goods, just about, in the peak of summer. But otherwise was suffering quite a bit. Think it didn't enjoy the proximity of so many other plants keeping the moisture levels high. Like your hanging basket overwintering idea though. We appreciate you.
I very rarely comment - But I have to say the detail and explanations are fascinating. One of my dreams is to be able to build my own property, or at least renovate one back from almost bare brick. I see so much in the UK where large building companies cut corners and do things at speed with new builds, I don't think I could ever trust them. All this to say I too have done lots of research and love hearing about the whys and specifics; I soak it all in like a sponge! Kayvan is great at explaining; the only improvement would be a diagram! (It was great for understanding the appendeges!). Keep doing what you are doing!
I am so glad that Kayvan, the perfectionist, is buddies with lovely Frank. Love the crops, but can't wait for hands-on reno, in minute blow by blow detail of course. RC spec pipe...never knew it existed. I am confident Kayvan knows what the heck he is doing.
I agree there may be people that are not interested in the geothermal and renovation part of the Homestead, then maybe you should consider doing separate videos for those of us that are. While I enjoy your videos this is a part that I would be most interested in.
Aww. My dill was wimpy so only 1 flower to dry & save. Great job you two! Told my sis about you all. She goes to Ireland every few years. So lovely you all.
Ah god love ya Kayvan I know you are a mine of information.. I just hope there are people who are interested and understand what you're saying.. Looking forward to next time 😊
Even if I don't understand the technical stuff hearing someone who has obviously put a lot time into researching and has an enthusiastic way of presenting the info is always entertaining. Nice to watch all 3 of you have your moment in the video on subjects you have more personal interest in is a positive to your content. Keep it all in 😉
I’m with you on the technical aspect of your renovation but, you can just see how into the details your husband is, soooo I’m not hating it because it makes me smile (it’s kind of cute)to see someone that intense about the details. Besides, I thoroughly enjoy your process. 😁👍❤
Delighted to see you embracing the Kerry Gold butter ❤ For pastry or crumble I usually freeze the amount of butter I need and grate it into the flour, saves time 😉
We also built our house and my husband is the same way as yours. So even though it would interest my husband… it’s over my head too! 😆 But keep it in for those who geek out on this detailed info.
To be honest, I had to give up when Kayvan was talking about his pipes but my partner found it very interesting so I just went and made tea:) loving your journey though, makes me homesick☘️😎
Southwest Ireland is my favorite part of the country. My uncle, years ago, used to live in Glengarriff. I thought my visit there was magical. I love that Kayvan is passionate about the heat in your house, but he lost me after the words "heat exchange". He then switched to Swahili... I think. Please don't change your explanations for me, I'll just appreciate your expertise.
I have watched a number of new water pipes & sewerage being laid but the quality of the products that Kayvan sources is a much better quality. It makes so much more sense to buy good products once & be done with it.
Absolutely let Kayvan share his knowledge! While my eyes glossed over a little bit in, there is someone out there who is saying " Awesome, that's just the detail I needed to know!".
Just Googled “ground source heat pump“ to figure out what the heck he’s talking about. I had never heard of that before since I live in a dense Southern California suburb. What a smart, eco-friendly system! No wonder you’re excited! Go ahead with the details. I’ll follow along much better now.
I did laugh at how nerdy Kayvan got over his ground source piping lol. Let him have his moment 😂. Maybe create his own segment for these technical updates
It’s a boy thing 🥱

I'm with you, girl. His details just leave me saying "huh?" But it doesn't matter. I'm here, rooting you all on!

You two win 🎉🎉 the most beautiful couple award!! 🎉🎉 I love all of your videos!! Cheers to the crumble!
Yes, we want to know the engineering details. You're right, a lot to love about K. and I love how much you appreciate each other!
I genuinely think that the bit I enjoy and get most from is Kayvan's explanations on how and why things are being done the way they are! Please keep those parts in the videos!!!
I find the details interesting- makes me feel like I've learned something new about a topic I might never have thought about.
Yes, leave in the details! It helps me understand why he’s doing what he’s doing. I like the thought process!
He is fine. I love learning how things work.
The power of manure when farming! Growing up on a 100 acre farm growing our own food including animals was the healthiest lifestyle
We wish we had a background and an experience like that, would make a lot of this a lot easier knowing what we are doing.
Not a technical detail girl myself, but he's clearly passionate about it so I try to listen and learn. Every day's a school day (and I can always fast forward if I'm nodding off - bless him)!
Agreed!!

Thanks a mil!
Kayvan is pretty impressive! You are very blessed he is so detailed and intelligent!!! Love how his brain works after research! Beautiful family! ❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words. Appreciate you - and thanks for following along
Yep..you have got yourself a real nerd genius on your hands...my eyes are glazing over halfway thru the technicals. Gid bless the nerds
Better understand your goals now! Very impressed how mindfully you approached your lifestyle change and renovation plans. Will enjoy life while you are renovating!!! Great idea instead of singleminded approaching cottage fix up!!❤

@@paulinewayland713 This comes under the category of, “Ask me how I know!” 😂

Love the detail, keep it coming Kayvan.
Woot!
I’m with you and don’t understand the technical details, but they are an important part of your shared journey, so I think it’s important to keep them in! Besides which, seeing Kavan getting animated over pipes and trenches is properly entertaining 😅
Love the detail Sono problem there . Looking great can't wait to see the results of his work . Keep up the baking . Really enjoying your progress
Love the ground source heat pump explanation. I am a 74 year woman living in Canada 🇨🇦 wish I had it done 15 years ago. It's the future.❤
Canada woot! Thanks for following along
When I make crumble I use butter, flour, and sugar and mixed it with my fingers until it forms crumbies. Then put it on top! Everyone loves it.
I like it when Kayvan goes over the details of things, even if I do not understand it all it is very interesting and I'm sure it will be to many.
September is a joyful month for harvesting. 😊
That’s an impressive amount of research, glad to listen.
Grate your butter when cold makes it easier to rub
Ohh nice tip - thanks!
Definitely would love for Kayvan to do a video with full details with his outlook for the works , he really has done diligence for all the necessary equipment and works needed ,.....😊
We love you no matter wat you talk about well done it may help someone out there blessings to you all the oldies 🤗🤗🤗👍
I love the detail Kayvan gives for his work. I will never install a thermal heating system, but I enjoy the thought and research he does for the work!
I think it was a great decision, when there is the possibility of having problems at a later stage. The right decision.👌
Awww I was delighted to hear you brought a crumble around to your neighbour.❤❤❤😊😊😊
We haven't seen him since, hopefully he enjoyed it.
And still alive…………?🤣
Hola, another great video. Didn't understand a word Kayvan said, but listened out of politeness. Gotta love him 😂 ❤️❤️
The whole Kayvans description was way over my head.. , good job he's so easy on the eye and it meant I actually enjoyed listening to it.
Cracking vidio, all that detail as good as it is I think it would hold me back😂 (I live on a narrowboat) the game changer for me was the blackberry and apple crumble with home made custard😋 awesome ❤
Picking blackberries is a labor of love, The thorns are attracted to me, and I am always scratched to pieces.
I must confess my eyes glazed over somewhat when Kayvan started talking about pipes and manifolds, but realise that someone out there does speak his language, plus it's great to see his enthusiasm even if I don't understand 😂
I am completely bewildered by the heat pump system. But that doesn’t matter, y’all make it fun for me to think I understand. 😂
I agree bee keeping would be great. We bought 2 hives and we're just about to harvest the honey and a bear smashed the hives and took the honey. After that happened we were told to put an electric fence around the hives.

great technical details, love it ;)
Over my head too, but Kevan is obviously very bright and I reckon a lot of folk will like the detail...
I love learning from Kalyan about the technical detail! As much enjoying the cooking ideas. Loving it all 👍 Marian ❤️
Sorry, but when K starts talking my eyes cross and I drift off into some sonorous alternate universe. Yes, To your daughters perfectly timed dry wit. 😆 Your love of life shines through in your laugh and you're why I am here. 😄

I do love the detail, even when I don't completely understand. It's nice to know why it's a good bit of kit. :)
Hopefully it makes more sense when it all starts to fit together during installation.
I very rarely comment - But I have to say the detail and explanations are fascinating.
One of my dreams is to be able to build my own property, or at least renovate one back from almost bare brick.
I see so much in the UK where large building companies cut corners and do things at speed with new builds, I don't think I could ever trust them.
All this to say I too have done lots of research and love hearing about the whys and specifics; I soak it all in like a sponge! Kayvan is great at explaining; the only improvement would be a diagram! (It was great for understanding the appendeges!).
Keep doing what you are doing!
Thanks for the feedback
I could follow Kavan fine. Love detail even though I’m not a nerd. I respect his expertise
👍
lol😂didn’t understand what he was saying!!🎉🎉🎉 love seeing you both and your updates ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing
I want Kayvan’s specs and rationale! It is brilliant! 🥰
Kayvan is so easy to look at and listen to, he could just sit there and read the telephone book and we would all enjoy that
I can't even imagine! Thank goodness Kayvan and you are so skilled in many areas to be able to do this.
Blackberry picking brings backs such amazing childhood memories. Thank you.
I think it's great he's putting the detail in. I am learning a lot. It's interesting. Thanks. Love your videos.
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate you following along.
I am so glad that Kayvan, the perfectionist, is buddies with lovely Frank. Love the crops, but can't wait for hands-on reno, in minute blow by blow detail of course. RC spec pipe...never knew it existed. I am confident Kayvan knows what the heck he is doing.
You should get into beekeeping. great source of wax and honey
We both did a beginners beekeeping course back in Bournemouth before we left on our travels. Very much looking forward to having our own hives.,
@@offgridirishhomestead it would make a great side income as well.
you forgot to put the thinggy back on inside the heat pump. Its as clear as mud but i love his voice , and watching him eat apple crumble.😂😂😂❤
I agree there may be people that are not interested in the geothermal and renovation part of the Homestead, then maybe you should consider doing separate videos for those of us that are. While I enjoy your videos this is a part that I would be most interested in.
Aww. My dill was wimpy so only 1 flower to dry & save. Great job you two! Told my sis about you all. She goes to Ireland every few years. So lovely you all.
Ah god love ya Kayvan I know you are a mine of information..
I just hope there are people who are interested and understand what you're saying..
Looking forward to next time 😊
Like the detail! Enjoy your videos you balance each other very well.
Thanks for following along!
Loving the technical explanation, really want to see how it’s installed
Hello from New Zealand. Love watching your progress ❤
NZ, woot! Thanks for following along
All of it. The why and how, etc. I will never do this but it is fascinating to hear what is needed to build what you need without "city" services.
Even if I don't understand the technical stuff hearing someone who has obviously put a lot time into researching and has an enthusiastic way of presenting the info is always entertaining. Nice to watch all 3 of you have your moment in the video on subjects you have more personal interest in is a positive to your content. Keep it all in 😉
I’m with you on the technical aspect of your renovation but, you can just see how into the details your husband is, soooo I’m not hating it because it makes me smile (it’s kind of cute)to see someone that intense about the details. Besides, I thoroughly enjoy your process. 😁👍❤
I love all the details, it's not something I've done before and it's incredibly interesting especially when it comes with crack resistance 😉
Delighted to see you embracing the Kerry Gold butter ❤ For pastry or crumble I usually freeze the amount of butter I need and grate it into the flour, saves time 😉
Nice tip - thanks!
We also built our house and my husband is the same way as yours. So even though it would interest my husband… it’s over my head too! 😆 But keep it in for those who geek out on this detailed info.
FWIW I love this kind of detail! But then we're embarking on a similar fun project so love that we can learn from Kayvan :)
Kayvan needs to do a video on how the heat pumps work 🤩
To be honest, I had to give up when Kayvan was talking about his pipes but my partner found it very interesting so I just went and made tea:) loving your journey though, makes me homesick☘️😎

Southwest Ireland is my favorite part of the country. My uncle, years ago, used to live in Glengarriff. I thought my visit there was magical.
I love that Kayvan is passionate about the heat in your house, but he lost me after the words "heat exchange". He then switched to Swahili...
I think. Please don't change your explanations for me, I'll just appreciate your expertise.
I have watched a number of new water pipes & sewerage being laid but the quality of the products that Kayvan sources is a much better quality. It makes so much more sense to buy good products once & be done with it.
Absolutely let Kayvan share his knowledge! While my eyes glossed over a little bit in, there is someone out there who is saying " Awesome, that's just the detail I needed to know!".
Just Googled “ground source heat pump“ to figure out what the heck he’s talking about. I had never heard of that before since I live in a dense Southern California suburb. What a smart, eco-friendly system! No wonder you’re excited! Go ahead with the details. I’ll follow along much better now.
