People like you should have a gold medal for all the work you do to adapt and make o good living in Sweden. Welcome and wish you the best in Sweden. Life is an adventure.

Great video, we need more people like you in the swedish countryside.

I am impressed that you are making an effort learning the language and joining the community, unlike some youtubers buying houses in Sweden. To each his own, I guess, but I think your life here will be happier as you are clearly already on your way to become Swedish. Welcome! 🙂

Välkommen till Sverige! Roligt att se att någon vill ta över gamla hus som annars kanske hade blivit obebodda 👌

Lycka till med projekt husrenovering, skogsbruk och väghållning och må gott här i Sverige 🇸🇪❤️🇸🇪

Do not dry wood inside your house unless you are insect friendly. Welcome to Sweden.

Hej ik woon sinds 1984 in Zweden, woonde eerst in het zuidoosten maar tegenwoordig in het noorden (Jokkmokk). Integreren is in mijn opinie het belangrijkste om een nieuwe start in een ander land te maken, en dat lijken jullie werkerlijk te doen. Het nadeel is dat op een gegeven moment je jezelf niet echt meer een NL voelt maar ook niet echt Zweeds. Ik heb zelf jarenlang getwijfeld maar zo'n 10 jaar geleden heb ik de Zweedse nationaliteit aangevraagd in verband met pensioen rechten heb ik besloten om m'n NL nationaliteit te behouden, maar ik voel me meer Zweed dan NL. Zweden is mijn thuis.

Welcome to Sweden! I could recommend you to consider keeping the woodstowe on the kitchen. It is almost impossible to get something as good as the one you have . The thing is even if the electricity goes out (happens now and then) you still have heating. Ask locals about it and see what they use.

I live in Norway, I buy raw wood in the early spring, and keep it in an open garage, it is ready to be used in December. Be careful of storing wood in the house, I only take in what I will burn in a couple of days or so. Wood storage indoors can bring unwanted guests, like wood eating ants and health issues like allergies and mold issues. (All firewood have mold spores) Be sure to have ventilation between the logs and the wall. I have an agreement with a local farmer, he removes snow for me. Cheaper than buying expensive equipment. I do have a Honda snowblower for the smaller jobs here.

Welcome to Sweden and well done work at the house!😊😊😊

This is how become a part of Sweden for real! Congrats and welcome!

Top man. By far the best of all of the 'I moved to the Swedish wilderness' videos I get fed. This guy actually has his head on straight and is doing stuff right and spending right rather than the drifting around in cosplay uniforms to tinkly piano music, sounding vacant and depressed, and moaning about the rot filled, freezing hell hole they'd bought that other videos are filled with. He will do well. Excepting, of course, the fact that he bought a place in Sweden rather than somewhere livable for humans for more than 4 months of the year. Which clearly marks him out as completely out of his mind.

As a person born in Tilburg I have just started watching your channel. I also watch Rambling Wild Rosie, Dutch woman renovating a house in rural Sweden on her own.

Welcome to Sweden! Hope u enjoy ur new house here in sweden, and hope that u will have a good rest of the time here :d

Looking good. You’re a hard worker!

Veel Nederlanders die naar Zweden vertrekken, ik snap wel waarom. Dank je voor deze video

Wonderful. You mentioned keeping the meadows for wildlife so I'd suggest some native fruit trees to attract more wildlife. A small pond would be very welcomed by your feathered and furry friends as well. Watching your puppy grow was an added bonus!

Fantastic! So happy to watch your progress and I wish you all the best in Sweden. Hugs and love from Karlskrona! :)

Welcome and enjoy our as now yours new old country of the north.

1. You should try scything. 2. Meadows are great for biodiversity. I would leave them be as much as possible.

Not far away from where you live there is an old abandoned mountain facility and a few factory buldings that was used to produce gunpowder during 1940-1945. after the war the facilities there was looked after and put on standby so that we could use them again if needed but in 1981 the military blew up a few buldings and tore out machines and other stuff so its mostly empty. its still very fascinating to wander around the old factory part and especially the mountain facility. since you live so close i think it would be cool for you to discover about what secrets your area beholds. i'll send you cordinates private somewhere if you are intrested.

We need some of you in Norway too. We already have some Dutch people running bakeries etc but Norway have a lot of abundant houses. Greetings from Norway.

Oh, I'm Swedish but I'm impressed by you! Just an advise! Buy an Air Heat Pump. For your house you can get one for 30.000 with installation. That will lower your heating costs by 2/3. It adjusts automatically, so when you have the fire burning, it will turn off, and then go on again at whatever temp you want. In the summer you can use it as air-conditioning. Also, in the long run, better insulation and better windows/doors lower your heating costs. Just some advice from a "Nordbo"! Much luck in the future! 👍

Welcome to Sweden and Värmland. Nice to see more dutch people coming here. Me and my spouse have our summer house not far from yours but in Västmanland

You cant know how helpful this is to me today , thank you so much !!! I'm also coming back to Sweden really soon to farm in some way . ❤ Skyval ❤

Mooie ideeen voor de toekomst. Ik ben benieuwd naar wat er komen gaat. Geniet ervan!!

Congratulations for your purchase.

Nice improvments. By the way... it's not black ice... it's just ice. Black ice is the ice that you almost can't see and usally is on paved roads where it seems like it will have good grip but then when you try to brake or turn you notice that it's actually a thin layer of ice on top. :)

I really enjoyed your beautiful video!

lou got a new sub.. :D loved this

The wood should just dry out for one season, or even just a half year. The wood should NOT be to dry. Having the wood to dry makes it burn out to fast, and the energy doesnt get used as effeciently.

Oh Gosh, all these must have been expensive. Congrats on your achievements 😊

Beautiful and great progress! Love your dogs and kitties. 😊

You know how it is, genieten met volle teugen 🎉❤

I really enjoyed your video and style as well. You certainly have a lot of initiative and the progress you have made in such a short time is inspiring. subscribed and looking forward to more. A fan from Nova Scotia!

good luck! great vid!

I am new to your channel (new subscriber) and was frantically looking for your previous episodes w/o finding any. Is this your first post? If so, welcome to YT and I eagerly look forward to your future vlogs. Being of "advanced years", I find these types of adventures relaxing (well, maybe not for you all) and fulfilling a 60 year old (I am pushing 81 now) unfulfilled dream of striking out on my own and homesteading up in Alaska. Sigh; wasn't to be due to romance, marriage, kids, career, and the ages rapidly drifting by. Go for it----this Yank will be watching from afar.

gratulation new swedish members!

Wat zijn jullie goed bezig daar! Leuk om te zien!

Thankyou 😊

Good work

Love your Dogs

Een beetje een samenvatting maar superleuk om het huis van binnen eens goed te zien nadat er al veel is gedaan. Wat een omgeving en wat ben ik trots op jullie en hoe jullie het daar doen!! ❤

Super!

Wat is dat mooi geworden nu wordt het zomer dus dan gaat het beter om op te ruimen .

Wat een avontuur. Ik denk ook al jaren aan verhuizen naar Scandinavië. Dank aan het KZfaq algoritme dat ik bij jullie terecht kwam. Nieuwe subscriber 😁

Vid plantering av skog . Tänk på att Älgarna älskar Tall , Så skyddar du den inte så käkar älgen upp plantorna .

verry nice to watch,i Just to live in australia and kanada.but it looks great on youre propertie all the best.now from cologne. and to old to make new plans

I'd suggest buying a sand spreader so you don't have to sand the driveway with a shovel. They can get a bit expensive but it's worth it since you'll end up using a lot less sand and you can use it with your ATV.

Please reconsider having a huge mowed lawn. Insects need long grass and flowers so your plants can get pollinated. Its all a cycle.

Wat een leuke video. En een geweldige plek ik Zweden. Misschien een idee om ook een keertje nog iets over jullie zelf te vertellen? Bedankt voor de video!

Interesting look into your Swedish life. I certainly wouldn't mind more videos in English (or Swedish!), so I'm subbing in hopes of that :D Lycka till!

Dit is een hele fijne video, goed om te zien waaruit de werkzaamheden bestaan en waar rekening mee gehouden moet worden in de verschillende seizoenen, super praktisch en ik denk een goede video om als voorbeeld te gebruiken voor anderen die naar Zweden willen verhuizen. Ik wil dat ook ooit doen en dit is een goede callback naar de realiteit, je gaat al snel een beetje romantiseren haha :p Zweden is fantastisch maar de landelijke huizen daar en het wonen vergen wel veel meer onderhoud die we als Nederlanders niet gewend zijn

That what I call a handy man 😂

get a manuel subaru forester with nokian tires, tip from norway and dont buy the diesel

I think please point that roof chimney it totally needs repointing ,love the house and land and your animals .

Welcom

If you collect the chainsaw saw dust and get a wood pellet machine...you could make your own pellets and a adapter for your wood stove to burn the wood pellets, that way you wouldn't have to cut down as many trees to heat your home during winter.

Tip, gebruik je eigen bosgrond voor het vullen van de moestuinbakken

Fields are always in high demand in Sweden. Why not earn a bit of money of that land? You could charge for having animal owners letting their animals out for grazing during the summer. Especially horseowners often let their horses be at rest grazing for a few weeks during the summer (sommarbete) and usually pay well.

You will do good, your priorities seem sound and you seem to embrace your new culture. Have you looked into mounting a detachable plow to the Amarok? Allt gott och lycka till!

Its close where I live.😅

You can buy a snow plow or can you hire a snow ❄️ plow driver to plow your driveway once a week ? Im in the upper midwest in the US , I hire snow plow guy he plows it once a week 👍

You really invested in a proper road, how much was that work? For how long strip?

When it comes to heating, you can definitely do better energy efficiency and environmentally wise. You could at least install a heating pump.

Nice videos you make❤ Iam sure mane of us Are very interested in hov big is your property, and in what range was the price? Do you work outside in society too?

You are doing a lot of work improving your house and plot, but what are you doing for a living (income)?

This is my first time seeing your vedieos. I have several questions I hope you can reply to sometime. How far are you from the Netherlands? What do you do for a living, job? Is Sweden a lot different from your home country? What do you like best, worst there? How far are you from grocery store, gas station, other necessitates?

Sedan kan man va snäll mot djuren och placera ut en Saltsten på ett strategiskt ställe :-) Nära ett jakttorn

Welkom in Zweden. Nat hout moet je binnen 3 maanden inkorten en splitten. Nat hout best niet binnen in huis laten drogen, tenzij je veel ongedierte wil in huis. Zitten jullie in Värmland of Dalarna? Groeten uit Storfors

Hej, mag ik vragen waarom de vlog ineens Engels is?

Swedish countryside works best with a small tractor.

Hallo, hebben jullie daar ook werk? Rentenieren?😊

Hi, Did you manage to purchase without having a Swedish bank account?

dont ruin the pasture with spruce trees its not good for the soil

Buy an real tractor 🚜 or pay someone to plow your driveway in winter? Välkommen till Sverige!🇸🇪🙏👍👏

Great video and thank you for taking us along. Wa State USA. Are there venomous snakes in Sweden?

The only snake you have to worry about is the fully black one (huggorm) that one can be deadly to pets,kids and elderly people. The other ones are nothing to worry about.
