This is a great idea I would have never thought of this. My brother is trying to do the same! He wanted to use a road till to get the grass out and replace it with wild flowers. It would be a lot of work, but your idea is smart. Cardboard is biodegradable and it saves on throwing it in the trash. I will definitely be telling him this idea. I am looking forward to seeing you bring down those bricks from the fireplace. You are both always hard at work. Keep up the great things you are doing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Not unlike yourselves, I take advantage of the tree trimmers mulch as much as possible. They will become your best friends if they know you're receptive of receiving it. It's my understanding, they struggle to find a place to dispose of it. Mulch has unlimited uses, love your resourcefulness. Peace...
Alex you are such a tidy worker, cleaning up one mess before creating another one😂 The fireplace is coming along. The wildflower field will look fantastic will give many years of beautiful scenery. Keep up the good work Gail and Alex❤️
My uncle bought an old house in the country near Cardiff. Behind a wall he found a raffle ticket dated 1910. It was for a shotgun being raffled among other items to raise funds for an injured farmer who was no longer able to work
Great idea for a wild flower field. My daughter wants me to let my back lawn to go wild. Our home owners association would not approve.She has let her back lawn go pretty much to wild flowers and it is pretty and great for birds.
Always look forward to each new video! Your outdoor sanctuary will be a lively thing to look upon! Exciting to see you uncover that Georgian fireplace! Hurry back!!
You are so lucky to have such an exemplary job site supervisor! Man Shwoo keeps everyone safe and ensures quality work gets done via his thorough inspections. It's no wonder your projects turn out so well 🩷
All I can say is Good Luck, Alec. It is a good thing you have enthusiasm, strength, and youth on your side. I get tired just watching you work. By now, I suspect your room is done, so only you know how it all worked out.
I have a mound of tree mulch from the company that trims our power lines, too. They were happy to leave it for me and it was priceless in the making of garden paths. I am looking forward to seeing the progress on that revealed fireplace! Love you, ladies!
At first when I saw 👀 you collapsing the cardboard I thought that you were going to toss it. I thought "no" you should use it to kill off any grass area you don't want. THEN, as I watched further that is exactly what you ended up doing. All the larger pieces of cardboard have so many purposes, even laying down on the floor in areas that you are renovating. Use them as drop clothes.
Hello hardworking and stimulating woman. Am so impressed with all you do and would love to see your lovely farmhouse. I learn so much from your vlogs. 🌟
One minute in and I was thinking “where’s your mask?” worried about potential asbestos. Thank goodness you put one on! Now I can watch the remainder of the video in peace.😊
I don't understand why I have to resubscribe literally EVERY week? I've been unsubbed from all of your channels everytime I check. If I'm doing something wrong and anyone knows what it is, please let me know. I love watching you guys no matter what it is you do. Keep up the great work! ❤
Can't wait to see what you do with the fireplace, Alex! It's so nice to see what your two are doing around the place, but, you're wearing me out! The Peacock's are filling out and looking beautiful! They were having quite the feast on the insects you were stirring up!
I think your riding lawn mower would come in handy on many jobs around your place,you can buy a wagon for the back of it & load it up with the mulch or whatever & drive it to where you need it!We have a little 4 runner that has a wagon that hooks to it for that purpose,& my husband also built a wooden box for the front & back so that he can get our wood from where it is stored to our back door,so many options!Love seeing you two working together,reminds me of my mom & I remodeling her 130 old house she lived in at the time!
I'm so curious how your bedroom will turn out. That fireplace looks like a lot of work......🙈 What an amazing idea to create a flower field! I know for sure it will be gorgeous! Your previous flower patch was so beautiful.❤ (even though the flowers weren't native) Can't wait to see the progress! Thank you for playing "Nimrod." It's my favourite piece of music. I get moved by it every time I hear it. Sir Edward Elgar did such a great job! I hope you have a wonderful week! Saying hi from the Netherlands.🤗 🇳🇱
Oh my gosh, your wildflowers were from California, being poppies and such. We just had a massive wild flower bloom in California due to a lot of rain in the Winter and Spring. California has many different ecosystems because of how diverse it is. There are hot desserts, mountains with pine trees and snow, semi-desert areas, fertile valleys, coastal beach areas, with some being all pebbles and cliffs, while others being smooth and sandy. I believe there are 13 different ecosystems, making a huge variety of plants and animals.
YES!! Amazon boxes can be a real pain in the rear!! I also live out in the country (Sweden) and order most of what I buy off of Amazon. I had no idea what to do with all of the BOXES that I had left over from my purchases. That is until I'd watched a few gardening DIY uploads on UA-cam. Since my homestead/property is a forest property AND it is located on bedrock with only about 1 ft. of soil before hitting "the mountain" and being that it used to be forest and still is surrounded by forest, I have dense thick roots crisscrossing all throughout my yard/garden area. A pain to dig to remove the roots, not to forget all the WEEDS that were what is supposed to be my lawn... The video/upload said to place a thick layer cardboard on top of the "grass" where you wanted to create your garden/vegetable bed, frame it with wooden boards and then add good soil on top of the cardboard, to which ever level depth you want. Of course, if you want it to be deep, you need to add as many boards in height as you want. This will kill off all the weeds as well as the cardboard adding to the benefit of the soil. Same as you can use the smaller cardboard boxes, rip them up in smaller pieces and add them to your compost pile. Without the freakin plastic that they seem to love... I totally hate that plastic!! Plain uncolored cardboard and not shiny in your compost every few levels, will also add to the nutrients when it decomposes and your chickens will help in rooting around in the compost, mixing it while hunting after grubs, which in turn, lowers your feed bill for the chickens... Win win all around.
I live in regional Victoria, Australia and my parents had Peacocks and hens... shwoos.. to dig around in the garden and eat snails and other critters and to keep snakes away.. I hope your ManShwoo and Lady Shwoo dont kick your mulch everywhere. Lovely idea to return your paddock to nature. I am also looking forward to seeing the fireplace. Enjoy your channel very much ❤
What you're doing with your wildflowers idea is wonderful!!! I have neighbors (I live in the country) who mow ALL of their acreage even though they don't even use it. I so wish they would allow it to grow into meadowland for the wildlife, especially bees! It upsets me to see all of it mowed so unnecessarily.
You've certainly taken on a daunting task Alex but when it's finally finished I know it will be just as you envisioned, wonderful and totally you. What would you do without helpful Shwoos ?? They're looking very healthy these days 😊 Looking forward seeing more gorgeous flowers and both of you on your next adventure. Much love and hugs to you both 🥰🥰 xx
Hello Gail and Alex! How amazing the fireplace will look, can't wait to see your plans. A field of wildflowers will be just beautiful. Great job ladies...Big hugs and love from Texas!😊😇
Hey Alex there is a tool you should add to your tool kit. It is a cordless oscillating saw. You could have used it when cutting out around the fireplace.
Hi I love watching your videos. Alex I wouldn't touch that wooden framework or the bricks in the fire place without consulting a structural engineer. Who knows that framework may be part of what is holding up the ceiling in your room. I'd take off a bit more of the plasterboard above the fireplace to make sure the bricks above the fireplace are the original bricks and also that the "transom" ( may be wrong word) that used to be holding the bricks above in place, is still there. But that's just me. Maybe being over cautious.
Hello from cross pond in Maine .. My precious lady’s work so hard and that home is beautiful.. The grounds the house itself!! Amazing 😮😊❤❤ Love 💕 you to the moon 🌙..
This will work with the cardboards, but it will need a year minimum. Keep it wet if possible. I did it in an ugly sandy garden too and had very nice soil after. The worms love it. Greetings from Germany.
I should think that the facing on the fireplace would be idea for installing the tiles you find mud larking and digging. A few drops of oil are easily obtained for the barrow by taking it over by your car and pulling out the dip stick and letting the oil drops fall into the wheel axle area. Trick also works great on the car door hinges too.
Hi Alex, there's EVP at 0.25x video speed as you open the wall, listen carefully from: 6:16 ('Breaking the silence'), 6:17 'The reaching for the brick', 'Working'. It seems like the old ancestors of the house are following the restauration with interest. The Völve
Love the wildflower beds and great that you want to use native flowers vs imports. Very important for the environment and native insects and animals. Can't wait to see the fireplace renewal, it will be wonderful ambiance 😊
Such a beautiful view out your bedroom window! I love this channel of yours Alex & Gail…you inspire me to take on projects… see you next week although I wish it was everyday 🥰
Can't wait to see the wildflowers... I'm interested to see what happens with the fireplace... the Shwoos seem to enjoy all the moving of those piles... I'm sure they will have plenty to pick through for awhile... and Man Shwoo is looking more and more spectacular every time I see him!
Keep up the great work love your videos and like what you are doing to your bedroom I look foreword every week to see what you do next hope to see more of your videos well done two both of you
Oh My! I think you had better call an architect to explain how to proceed with and how or even if the project should be a "GO". Your home is so old that taking a wall apart may give you more problems than you thought.
I took plastic 33 gallon trash cans to where the tree trimmers were working and they filled up my cans. I emptied them and went back two more times. 9 trash cans full mulched all my flower beds and around couple trees too. Ask if the trees they are trimming have any diseases before getting the mulch!
Hello, I’ve been looking out for your video.😊 Lazy!? For goodness sakes! Not you Alex! Wonderful recycling. The idea of wild flowers makes my heart sing! 🤗🫶🏻
Those wildflowers will be nice. I see such beautiful wildflowers at the dumpsite y’all go to could you save seeds from them they are really beautiful now looks fireplaces. Gonna be good if you can fix it just have to make sure the chimney is safe.❤
Mai visto mettere il cartone con sopra il legno triturato per far seccare l'erba. Tagliamo l'erba e coltiviamo e strappiamo le erbe che non vogliamo ma vorrei provare la vostra idea su un pezzo di terra in un cortile
That fireplace holds promise... I wonder if there will be a proper space behind! And those beds will look beautiful, though pine mulch tends to be quite acidic, so wildflowers native to acidic would thrive. You probably have them growing around you...Agrimony, Lady's Bedstraw, Betony, Meadow Buttercup, Common Cat's-ear, Cornflower, Ox-eye Daisy, Foxglove, Knapweed, Ragged Robin, Wood Sage, Devil's-bit Scabious, Sneezeworth, Common sorrel, Sheep's sorrel. All of these like a low ph.
Ladies ladies ladies you both deserve medals for all the work you do. I look forward to seeing the fireplace bricks come out, amazing find there Alex. Love the wild flower patch idea it a great use of the mulch. I I remember arranging with tree trimmers years ago for the mulch to be sent to an allotment that I helped out at, I also remember shovelling 20+ wheel barrows full of it to create more stable ground on the paths in between 6 huge veg beds. Hard work really does pay off so huge pat on the back to both of you. I haven’t watched your content for a while as I have been super busy however I’m dedicating some time to binge watch the videos I’ve missed over the next few days 🙂 xx
You two put so much energy into diverse projects. I suppose it rains enough that the mulch will break down more and decompose the cardboard. 24:33 Man schroo is a real champion. Protecting all the females around your estate. I wonder if you should paint your room as a break from the fireplace deconstruction. It might let you focus on the final look having the chaotic look of the paint sampling covered. Just a thought…
My neighbour put her front area into wild flowers...only trouble is weeds grow too and bindweed is now all over, strangling her flowers and its moved onto my yard and I'm going to have to remove all my flowers and put in grass..at least then the bindweed won't climb on things and look hideous.
Alex have you thought of googling Georgian fireplaces? just to get an idea of what they look like, and as I’ve mentioned before I love how the shwoos look like they’re supervising you lol, they’re probably just looking for bugs, and man shwoo is very brave too for chasing a fox away, tfs x Julie
Paper tape doesn’t hold up well in transportation. I have twenty years experience in working in distribution and warehouse logistics. Trust me, you don’t want to receive a big box sealed with paper tape after long distances. Great job on your hard work! 👏👏👏
Do you have an architectural scrap yard or antique store near you. Even a charity shop or salvage yard. They might have the pieces for your fireplace that you are missing or something similar to use at a lower cost. I am sure everything will love the wild flowers including the schoos.
So exited to se the fireplace! Please keep it in your room. So much history in your house to appreciate. I´m sure there is more hidden treasures behind the walls in the house. You are so blessed to live in this house in this area of Scotland
Hi Alex, i thought you would have got the big hammer out to knock it down.. 😂 Ive just edited when i saw that you brought out the Lump Hammer and that's much better 😄👍
Your beautiful farm just keeps getting more beautiful
This is a great idea I would have never thought of this. My brother is trying to do the same! He wanted to use a road till to get the grass out and replace it with wild flowers. It would be a lot of work, but your idea is smart. Cardboard is biodegradable and it saves on throwing it in the trash. I will definitely be telling him this idea.

It's my understanding, they struggle to find a place to dispose of it. Mulch has unlimited uses, love your resourcefulness. Peace...
What a nice idea for the wildflowers. It was good to see your mom today. Trust y'all are doing well. God bless you both. 🌷

HOA dictates what you can do in your backyard? Do they tell you how to arrange your rooms and what to wear as well? 🙄
So pleased we don’t have to worry about HOAs here!
@@annettewalter2273theyare a royal pain in the butt and they are bullies and horrible critics and you don’t get much for your money!!!!
Always look forward to each new video!
Your outdoor sanctuary will be a lively thing to look upon!
Exciting to see you uncover that Georgian fireplace!
Hurry back!!
I love your birds,just like cats and dogs ,they love being in the mix..😅😅

I’d love to have a home like this, something I could change and adapt, watch it grow throughout the seasons ❤
I have a mound of tree mulch from the company that trims our power lines, too. They were happy to leave it for me and it was priceless in the making of garden paths. I am looking forward to seeing the progress on that revealed fireplace! Love you, ladies!
Man Shwoo is looking very dapper!!! 😊
Love this fireplace and wild garden idea so wonderful
Hi sweet Schwoos and Chickens! Thank you for finishing pulling the wall away from fireplace. It’s been a long week for me. 😊.
I’m so glad you explained about your plan for the wild flowers! I was afraid you were losing your minds! LOL!!
🙋♀️❤️. Blue shrew is just beautiful! Your property and filmmaking are gorgeous! And, yes! You need WD 40! ⚘️⚘️. Thanks for sharing!
Ive always wanted to grow a field of wildflowers. So beautiful, romantic and filled with wildlife ❤️

I'm sure you could find an old wooden mantle and surround. You could attach a piece of wood to the bricks and paint a nice picture on it

Ok.. It was just me, or anyone else heard the whispering at 4:22, and some clear "shut up" at 4:25? It was really clear and scary!
You've certainly taken on a daunting task Alex but when it's finally finished I know it will be just as you envisioned, wonderful and totally you. What would you do without helpful Shwoos ??

Hello Gail and Alex! How amazing the fireplace will look, can't wait to see your plans. A field of wildflowers will be just beautiful. Great job ladies...Big hugs and love from Texas!😊😇
Your wild flower beds are brilliant.. It feels so good to have a clean out doesn’t it.
I was wishing I had your house, but I couldn't possibly handle the upkeep! Great job!
Wow,that's hard wood ,the crocuses are beautiful.It must be spring.
Hey Alex there is a tool you should add to your tool kit. It is a cordless oscillating saw. You could have used it when cutting out around the fireplace.

Been enjoying watching you doing your room up, can't wait to see you dress the room xx
Your lovely wooden shutters and window surround remind me of a ship's cabin. I would almost be inclined not to paint them!
Good luck with your native wildflower project.
It works wonders that WD40 😅😊
I do the same and the tree trimmers always leave the mulch in my garden too. I hope your seed grows in it and looks bautiful.

You go girl!! What an intrepid explorer you are!
Beautiful yellow and lavender flowers.
Yes! I think they are crocuses. They are so beautiful and won't grow where I live.😢
Very good question about the tape.
Oh My! I think you had better call an architect to explain how to proceed with and how or even if the project should be a "GO". Your home is so old that taking a wall apart may give you more problems than you thought.

Lazy!? For goodness sakes! Not you Alex!
Wonderful recycling. The idea of wild flowers makes my heart sing! 🤗🫶🏻
Hope you like it! 🌸
Those wildflowers will be nice. I see such beautiful wildflowers at the dumpsite y’all go to could you save seeds from them they are really beautiful now looks fireplaces. Gonna be good if you can fix it just have to make sure the chimney is safe.❤
Love to you ywo, and your family, thanks for sharing.
Great video once again. I found it a bit hard to take my eyes off Man Swhoo because he's just sooo beautiful now! 🤩

I look forward to seeing the fireplace bricks come out, amazing find there Alex.
Love the wild flower patch idea it a great use of the mulch. I
I remember arranging with tree trimmers years ago for the mulch to be sent to an allotment that I helped out at, I also remember shovelling 20+ wheel barrows full of it to create more stable ground on the paths in between 6 huge veg beds. Hard work really does pay off so huge pat on the back to both of you. I haven’t watched your content for a while as I have been super busy however I’m dedicating some time to binge watch the videos I’ve missed over the next few days 🙂 xx
You two put so much energy into diverse projects. I suppose it rains enough that the mulch will break down more and decompose the cardboard.

Man schroo is a real champion. Protecting all the females around your estate.
I wonder if you should paint your room as a break from the fireplace deconstruction.
It might let you focus on the final look having the chaotic look of the paint sampling covered. Just a thought…
It would've nice to re-do the fireplace and add an electric insert for heat.
I think it’s going to be so worth it when you are done!!!!
Always riveting, what you two get up to! thank you for taking us along.
Anxious to see the bricks come out! The wild flowers are going to be lovely!
I wish I could send you an antique mantle surround I have!
Can’t wait. So excited. Fabulous music
My neighbour put her front area into wild flowers...only trouble is weeds grow too and bindweed is now all over, strangling her flowers and its moved onto my yard and I'm going to have to remove all my flowers and put in grass..at least then the bindweed won't climb on things and look hideous.

If you let the grass go wild in time wildflowers will appear automatically 🤗
The both of you are amazing, take care be safe.
Paper tape doesn’t hold up well in transportation.
I have twenty years experience in working in distribution and warehouse logistics.
Trust me, you don’t want to receive a big box sealed with paper tape after long distances.
Great job on your hard work! 👏👏👏
Again another relaxing video to brighten my day. Thank you both..❤
Do you have an architectural scrap yard or antique store near you. Even a charity shop or salvage yard. They might have the pieces for your fireplace that you are missing or something similar to use at a lower cost. I am sure everything will love the wild flowers including the schoos.

Hi Alex, i thought you would have got the big hammer out to knock it down.. 😂 Ive just edited when i saw that you brought out the Lump Hammer and that's much better 😄👍
