Please point the walls with lime morter when you do. It will be exquisite 😍

It's so good to see You Both again. Not sure wh but pressure washing does have a rewarding feeling. That stone work is going to look so cool. Enjoy be Safe and stay Strong my friends.

Just watched your latest video, jet washing the walls. That granite has come up beautifully. I’ve been following another guy in Italy who has a similar kind of property (Martyn doolaard) there’s some really good tips he’s learnt for preparing walls like those, pointing and tools. Key things I’d mention if you don’t get much time, using the drill and a wire wheel will get some more from the cracks, and to tidy up the pointing afterwards. He also sprayed the walls with some kind of insecticide as there were bugs living in the walls. Then a line breathable mortar for your pointing. That will help combat mould and damp. Maybe, if you let us know what you’re “tackling in the next few weeks”, we can give you some ideas or if there’s a process or part that you’re struggling with we can help. All the best and love watching you guys Si x

I love how the stones are coming out !! Jetwashing is definitely the way to go , great ingenuity guys . You maybe should consider having a permanent pump in the well so you dont have to keep swapping all the time. Keep up the good work !!

I like listening to Laura speak. I was in Customer Service too, for many years. Talking to people in the right way, can make a great difference to their response. Good luck with everything, you walking the walk, while talking the talk.

So lovely to see you back the walls are going to look amazing when it’s finished.❤️❤️

Those walls are coming up wonderfully. It's a good thing the previous owners used mud as a plaster rather than some places where they grouted the stonework with concrete.

Hi Laura and Dan! A joy to see you! I love the overhead shot of your home. It is so lovely and you can see God's blessings all over it. The walls look so much better and it really shows the strength of the stone. Dan's comments about the size of some of the stones is so true. I never really noticed that before. It is going to be so amazing when completed. You both cross my mind often and are always in my prayers. You know I love the "ending chat" you share with us all. It always brings me great joy and comfort to see you. A lovely couple so exceedingly blessed by God. God bless you both mightily and so much love in Christ. ~John

It’s such an attractive barn, so old and hand made. When you’re further along, I know you’ll be amazed at how satisfying and happy you new home will be. It’s an antique building! Thanks for sharing. 🙋‍♂️🐈🐈

I love your “can do” attitude. When I started work around my place I knew bugger all, but it didn’t stop me. Keep up the good work.

Great work guys, the joy on both your faces as your plan for the homestead takes another step forward is refreshing to see, I would suggest lime mortar for pointing as it will showcase the granite. Keep the faith and continue to look after each other.

The builders most likely used a block & tackle with a heavy wooden frame/crane to place the granite blocks. You two have done a marvelous job so far in bringing out those beautiful colours and texture!! Try running the water up the hill utilizing your water system and run the hose from the tap to the pressure washer aka 'Archer'.... be a lot easier for you

Those walls are looking canny good! I'm allowed to say that as I spent years in Newcastle ☺️ Everyday that goes by, you get closer and closer to the prize 👍🏆💪

Be strong,Dan.Your hard work will pay off. The outdoor kitchen will help you cooking while you will be working inside, ready for winter. Love to see and jear you both talking about how to progress.❤❤❤

Awesome work, guys. I see a vision of the most perfect little stone cottage, and this is only the beginning of what you will manifest! ❤

I absolutely love watching you two and I’m praying that you get your residency soon and don’t have to keep going back and forth. I’m addicting to watching you both and I’m so proud of you both. For two people who say they know nothing about what you’re doing, you do a great job ❤

It reminds me of the indie project, when they converted the tiny home that would be a good series for you to watch lots of tips and information. It’s great if you could learn by someone else’s mistakes rather than having to make them all yourself. Brilliant job though, And it will soon dry out in the heat well done good job guys 👏❤️

You can get a sand blasting attachment to go on pressure wash you put it in silica sand and the water pulls it through the nozzle so you get a grit spray it really takes the muck off

I used a karcher K4 or get paint off my shed, it didn’t do much of a job. So I bought a cheap blasting attachment for the Karcher which meant I could blast it with tiny glass beads. This worked by like you I was plastered with crap and water, I did the job in a day and 3 bags of glass beads, of course it did clog up a few times which I did manage to work round and I chose a hot day as I got completely soaked.

Great start on restoring the stone barn. Like Dan pointed out, there was some serious work by many hands putting those stones in place. Just a suggestion, put in a concrete slab or concrete and stone/tile floor with a vapor barrier over sand in the barn to keep critters and moisture out. Locals will have some good advice for the floor. Good luck and continued success!

Lovely to see those old granite walls emerging. A write brush disc/brush on a drill might also help, once the old render is a bit wet. Keep going!

Every days a school day 😉👍 you make a brilliant team. Love your videos and look forward to seeing your progress each time. Well done to you both x

My husband tells everyone in the spring not to stand still near me as that's when the pressure washer comes out, washing all the winter dirt away lol. Stand still you get scooshed 😂😂. Bringing the stones up lovely there it's going to look really good when it's a all done. Keep scooshing xxxx

Good to see you two are still enjoying yourselves, even though its a hard job you have taken on. Go on Laura show us your muscles as you take over from Dan - get gunning !!

Buy a few fittings so you can attach you hose directly to the IBC tote valve. With the tote in the truck your sprayer may work ok without a pump. You definitely need to park uphill from the sprayer.

Lovely to see you both again, missed yas keep up the excellent work 😊xx

Lovely to see you both again, keep plodding along and it will be lovely when done x

Howdy Laura and Dan. Glad to see you guys again. You still amaze me with all the work you put in. I thought Laura would have gotten all muddied up with you and end up with a mud fight. 🤣. Looking great though. I think your walls will look amazing no matter what you do with the. Blessings to you both. Be safe out there.

Dan, you're happy when you get down & dirty. Great job today. Thank you both for today's vlog 🙋💗💗

The snake hole and skin in the barn made me shudder. Hope you can stop the hole up and get rid of the snake. Washing the stones brought them to life. You guys are the best.👏👏💗

Hey Dan I know you are happy with your jet washer , before I retired I used many jet washers at different times the one that worked without doubt was anyone with its own engine driving its own pump , if you perhaps rented one for just a day with a rotary head you would be amazed at the power difference, this is just a personal experience I’ve tried myself and found very productive,,, keep up the good vids and the best of luck with your residency application 👍👍👍John

Laura, I realize you look like the painting, the lady with the pearl earrings. Let's see what Dan says!

Good on you both, working so well together.❤

Great work guys. Love how you bounce off each other. Another step forward. Hope you’re res works out for you. Keep up the good work ❤❤

Hi guys . Your doing great and having fun that’s what matters. Maybe it’s the float stitch on your pump. It’s got to be over the level of the pump to work .. if it drops below the level of the pump it automatically cuts off. You may need to tie it up with string. But don’t let it run dry. Maybe you already know this . But it’s worth trying 😊

I am so happy for both of you 💚💚💚💚🙏🏼🤍

I was ever so pleased to see your flog as it has been a while since your last. Any just happy to see you fit and well.

Great video, great to see you each week.❤

Love the videos guys. Im glad you do things just like you do. Make mistakes, its fine. If everything worked out 100% every time it wouldn't be real. As a younger guy I did just what you do. I just gave it a go. Make things work for yourselves. These will be some of the happiest days of your lives. Much love and good luck.

I think a reducing adapter for the drain plug to a standard garden hose size should be available, that way you can use gravity instead of gasoline (for the pump of course) next time :) Keep up the great work!

Fill the. IBC to capacity, put a fitting on that allows you to use the hose pipe and let gravity do its thing.

Really pretty lady there. And she is not afraid of work.😊

Just a tip about the Karcher. Make sure to rest it often to prevent overheating which causes parts fatigue.

What a great job of constancy and perseverance... Great video guys...

Both of yous are high on life,brilliant ❤

Hi Laura and Dan............ I have not commented before as I've only just recently discovered your channel. Whilst I was under the weather a couple of weeks back, I followed your journey so far and made my way through all your video uploads in a couple of days (so much so that when I ran out of videos to watch I missed seeing you both 😀) I just wanted to tell you that I really admire what you are doing. Without wanting to sound patronising, You are both young and free spirited and are learning as you go.... but so many young people allow society to drag them into the mundane routine of life. You two have been brave enough to try something new and you both clearly work very hard to achieve your dreams...... Good for you 😀 ................... As far as the jet washing is concerned..... it is one of the most satifying pass times theres is, the effects are immediate and it is such a great sense of achievement to see the end result. Please keep the videos coming, Ignore the trolls, stay positive........... and I can't wait for the next video. All the very best - Stu x

The kitchen looks brilliant, well done.

Looks like you guys had a "Blast with Archie." Cant wait to see what the barn will look like at the end of everything.

Good work guys. Lovely to see you again. Sending love! xx

Great job. Cheering you two on. ❤🎉😊

Oh my I can't belive it so different and so nice love it see it when you are doneand you in lay the lime morter it well make the stone pop and look so 👍

Kool that's the easiest job I've seen this far. Excellent job. ❤

Awesome, I think you guys are doing a great job cleaning up inside your barn, and I did hear that you said that you read our comments only after you have tackled what you have planned for the day. I would suggest that the last 5 minutes at the end of each video you should tell us your plans for tomorrow or when you are going to tackle your next project and then ask for ideas and good advice for going forward. For example I am presently following about 10 off-Grid couples and single ladies asking their followers for advice. This way if you don’t have the tools to work on your next project, you will find time to go into town and get the right tools to tackle the problem or jobs. All your followers know that you do your research and that’s good, but you will also get good knowledge from people who have done it before or are experienced enough to give great advice. Yes, last 5 minutes at the end of your video, paint a picture. Remember this statement - A practical demonstration is worth a thousand words.

You two are a joy to watch ❤

Just caught up to the current videos. Love your energy. ❤ from Michigan

You mentioned your residency issues, are those sorted. I note from other sites that certain building that weren't residences before dont qualify as homes for applications for residency. I hope you are on top of this, as I admire you both. Also a little thing I learnt the hard way. Some IBC containers dont have a UV coating, and in the dry sun the plastic will become brittle and crack. I got a can of spray paint for the one of mine that hadn't disinterested. Still ok after 12months.

VERY BEAUTIFUL FARMING AND YOU TOO.

Looks fantastic love the stone work what a lovely building for a cosy homestead 😊❤

Hi Guys! I'm a new subscriber and loving your journey! i too thought it wouldn't work but it has and the stones look amazing. i ' m in france and done all my walls here, with a sand blaster! Keep up the great work! can't wait for your videos. ❤❤

Wow. Great idea,looks amazing just after one wash!

Greg Ovens hair....remember you do have to sleep at night....Greg's channel is we followed ever since Zack got him started....great channels just like yours!!!!

Wow, Dan is right, it is going to look esquisite 😂 when you've finished. Got to hand it to you two to find a way of doing it with pumps and pressure washers. The size of those stones is unbelievable but i know one thing for sure, you are going to make the most beautiful little house out of it. Just wondering, are you thinking of putting in a small mezzanine floor for your bedroom? Keep up the good work guys, I love watching your progress, its inspiring...best wishes from Australia (currently holidaying in Ireland 🇮🇪)

Really nice! Have you thought of a row of clear metal roof panels on the roof, for natural light inside?

Great work you2 , its going to be fab xx

Wow 😮 awesome job guys. The barn house stones look gorgeous 😍

l love this "Hot Wife Home Improvement" genre on youtube. It's the best!

I get my bin cleaned and never noticed the IBC until you got me thinking about it 😂😂 Very clever idea and granite is starting to look great 😊 Hope you got your well pump fixed 😮 Bye for now from a very sunny Washington Uk 😂 (typical chucked it down all school holidays now they are back at school blazing bloody sunshine 😖🤦)

Always nice to what you two are doing that rock is going yo look amazing when you’re done . Good work my friends.. love from USA 🇺🇸 😊

great video you can use one of the spare ibc and put by stone house fill the other one on truck with water from the well. then you can empty water in other ibc by house so you can carry on working and the truck is free to use elsewhere

Walls will be beautiful when all cleaned. Outdoor kitchen with porch type overhang or awning will work great. Make sure your storage is extremely secure from pest and animals. Pizza oven (they are easy to make yourself) and wood cooking stove. Hopefully you will have water piped to your tiny home by that time. Good video thank you.

Love it! Mega stones ❤❤❤❤

Walls are looking great! Next time you might not need the pump in the IBC, you can just connect your hose to the bottem if the IBC, waterpressure makes sure the water will flow to the pressure washer

Everything is looking good guys, well done 🤘👍

Well done you two, it’s looking great!!! 🙏🏻😊

I love wearing my health and safety sandals around the homestead.

It's all coming together can't wait for the finished result best wishes guys Phil ❤ 🙏 ps Laura you look amazing in that intro picture

Great vid, barns coming on. You shouldnt need the well pump, just get the garden hose adapter for the IBC and the Karcher's internal pump will pull the water through. 👍👍

Looking great guys archer worked so hard 😊

Beautiful stones. Wow!

Let us know what jobs you are tackling next so people can leave advice in the comments on how to do them etc. The walls will look great when they are pointed... my advice would be to use a lime mortar... you can of course watch loads of vids on youtube on what is best for these walls. Keep up the good work guys, you're doing really well ❤

Those large stones are awesome, going to look nice.

Looks good, keep up the good work, your doing great,❤

Love to see the walls filled and roof done

the exposed granite looks great - may i suggest that eventually you point it with a lime hemp mix as they used in the MAKE DO GROW videos - and only show the larger granite blocks rather than the smaller ones. best of luck! 🙂

This is going to be beautiful when finished! Have subscribed and can't wait to see your progress!

Your karcher should pump the water from the IbC without the well pump Best Wishes

Agree with pointing with lime plaster as will help to breathe. Also will look amazing on granite. 💚

Thank you for the video. Greetings from Finland. All the best.🙋‍♂️

Great work on the walls❤.

making progress ,coming along very nice 👍

Starting to look great!

Cracking job, water jet is best, like your optimism the pair of you, good luck!

Good job you two!
