I've been a carpenter for 25+ years and I must say that for someone with no previous experience, you did a marvelous job especially considering you had no vehicle other than your bike and trailer. Bravo.
So true! But women are crafty, have great common sense, and wonderful planning capabilities. I, myself, learned on the fly with my home. Just wish the previous owners had done things properly; I spend the majority of my time undoing their "repairs," and then I can improve from there. It's very satisfying, seeing that you're capable of so much more than you thought!
BRA - VO young lady!!! I'm a seasoned builder of 40 years, have built three houses, and what you accomplished here is nothing short of heroic!!! What courage, resolve, inventiveness, grit, ingenuity, sensitivity, passion you have! You've managed to make me feel proud of you!!! ...and I want to come build a place of my own and be your neighbor...but I think I'd get me a truck 😃
Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I’ve never been more proud of someone I’ve never met! I love the greenhouse, the ceiling in the guesthouse and the library area. Your woodworking is ace and so is your determination.
I just can’t believe how there’s no code compliance for any of this lmao - she’s making major structural changes to the frame apparently just off the cuff and using any old timber she has to hand. Holy fuck 😂
It’s so amazing to me that you took a cabin that really had massive issues and without any experience you’ve made a liveable space. Could I live without an indoor shower? No. Am an astounded you can? Yes! You’re an inspiration ❤
I think that impressed me the most - seeing Rosie walk to the outdoor screened area with a torch and all her breath billowing clouds into the dark, frigid air and stripping off for a shower.
My approach is to have the essentials for comfort ready, like a gas space heater, a gas water heater, a water tank & pump, some kind of simple shower module, toilet module and kitchen setup with a water filter, a tarp and barrel rain water catchment system, a solar system and a petrol generator, and a bunch of tools, like a chainsaw with a portable "Alaskan" lumber mill, to make my own planks. A modern settlers kit if you will. For a small cabin like this, it can be very compact and cheap.
Girl...this is the BEST UA-cam VIDEO, I've seen in a LONG, LONG TIME...THANKS so MUCH, for BRINGING US ALONG with YOU!!! YOUR JOURNEY is ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE...WOW...I am soooooooo GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL...I SUBSCRIBED and now, I'm going to BINGE WATCH, ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! YOU are TRULY AMAZING!!! GOD BLESS!!!🙏 VICKI🐦BYRD GREETINGS from NORTH CAROLINA, USA👋 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!🎄
I really cannot believe you had no woodworking experience. You are beyond amazing. One of my favourite things is how you cycled for 3 days to fetch stuff. It's sonrefeeshing to see someone without a car. We did something very similar, loving to the middle of nowhere. It's exciting, exhausting and just so creatively expansive. Yoh have done such an incredible job. Glad I found this channel.
Well it's amazing and really really lovely job that i could watch all day long, but she clearly has an experience if not pratical than definitely theoretical as architect or something similar, judging by her projects & knowledge & used software (autocad). Also i don't think so that she was moving all the wood that she used (hundreds of kgs) by bike.
My husband and I bought bare land at 70. It has been difficult for us, but what you have accomplished is unbelievable. You are one brave, talented individual. Blessings...
It’s amazing that you feel strong enough to even try it at 70! I hope you take that as the compliment I mean it to be. I pray that I feel strong enough to do something like that when I’m your age.❤
I cannot believe you have achieved so much especially in the first 12 months! Your parents should be so proud of their parenting skills to have raised a child who can believe in herself to take on, and attain, such a project! Cycling 35 km to fetch building supplies- what a woman!
You are an amazing young lady and have inspired me to tackle tasks at my home, even at 74 years old! I wish you the best and can hardly wait to see more, Many Hugs, Krista
I just didn’t realize the incredible amount of work you had accomplished. It’s different seeing a video from start to finish instead of a little here and a little there. This kind of accomplishment must be life changing. It’s truly lovely.
I'm just some random middle-aged woman on the other side of the ocean from you, but I'm so proud of your progress and growth. You've become so much more confident and skilled since those early days, and your little corner of the world is progressing beautifully. I'm going to make a pot of chai tea and toast your successes. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Same here. I spend too much. I’m lazy with my dreams. I’m over weight. I need to change. This lady is an inspiration. So I’m gunna give my middle aged ass I kick and try .
This was so satisfying to watch! Reminds me of how a lot of my family built and are continuing to maintain their properties. The beauty in the simplicity of life! Thank you for sharing!
At 13:15 you said "After 2 weeks on my greenhouse, I learned that I had failed." You didn't fail at all. You discovered one of many ways that didn't work optimally. That is NOT a failure. That is learning, growing, and improving. I saw absolutely nothing in this video that was anywhere near being a failure. I saw countless success, dreams met, and amazing self-sufficient home restoration. Loved the video!
I hope that the process of editing together all this footage made you proud of all the work you've done. It doesn't matter if you are not a master carpenter, you are making a lovely home the way you want and have the satisfaction that you have done almost every bit of the work alone. Congratulations!
I honestly feel overwhelmed and think I never ever could do something similar. The strength, determination, resilience, creativity, dedication, postitivity and skills it takes to take up and finish all those projects is mindblowing to me! You did not even mention that you were sewing nice clothing items as well... and cook really nice food. ❤
In case no one has said it, GOOD JOB ON ALL YOUR HARD WORK! I praise you. I am also an introvert and it's so nice to see someone who isn't shy about it, lol. All introverts unite! (but not actually together, if you know what I mean)
Wow, finally a video showing how long it takes to do something like this when you're working with your own limited money and handling everything yourself. This is reality. It takes a lot of courage and emotional strength, along with patience. Just imagine: in three years, when you light up that new fireplace, sit down on a nice couch with a cup of coffee or tea, and absorb the heat and ambience from the fire, you'll reflect on what it took to get there and celebrate that sweet success.
Dear Rosie, I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished! I have been following since the very beginning (watching you visit all the potential properties and waiting for updates about which one would finally be "the one") It has been so exciting and truly inspiring watching your skills and confidence grow, seeing you solve problems in such original or totally crazy or utterly sensible ways. I have been so pleased to see your channel grow and you deserve all the best! Congratulations!
I love all you do . I love you ride your bike to get supplies . I love how cheap you try to be . I love how beautiful you can make everything on a crap budget . I love your detail to planning . That detailed planning is a skill I wish I had .
WOW. I can honestly say this was the most exciting 24 minutes and 35 seconds I’ve enjoyed in a long time. This was an absolutely amazing, gripping, beautiful video. I am ridiculously impressed by your grit and determination, your mental strength and your ability to “learn as you go.” It really was a beautiful video diary. Thank you so very much for sharing. I’m so excited to what comes next. I’m so happy UA-cam “suggested” you. I’m subscribing. xxx
OMG! I've followed you through all of this and am still amazed by all you have accomplished. I didn't remember how dilapidated all the structures were. I don't know how you didn't give up in utter frustration, but you didn't. You are amazing.
I have no idea why UA-cam recommended this video, but am really glad I watched it. I am in awe at your creativity and ability to transform an almost wreck into a liveable space, especially with no construction experience!
*Jonna Jinton* had done something similar. She is a very talented: Painter, singer, musician in general, photographer, vlogger, (video) story writer, cinematographer and much much more. Her bf/husband is a silversmith.
It’s been my dream for so long, to do up a cabin like yours, surrounded by beautiful nature (not sure I could handle the cold like you do). I found your video so incredibly inspiring! Thanks for sharing your story. You’ve made me feel like my dream is possible again 💖🙌💖
It's amazing that you manage to do all this without any experience while still working as a designer and filming and editing. Great accomplishment, Rosie. You really should be proud of yourself. I love your videos very much. Thank you a hundred times))
This has to be the most impressive, incredible and indescribable solo build I have ever viewed, This woman is beyond amazing, I could watch these videos forever,
Wow, my hat off to you lady. I spend 6 years renovating an old Dutch house from 1915 into a very modern house that could fit into a house magazine. I thought it would never end and remember thinking 3 years into the build that if I just keep going then one day that unfinished house that I was starring at will be a finished house starring back at me in the future. That time came and its a joy every time I walk from my garden to my house and see my beautifull home standing in front of me. It was very hard, and took so much effort, but its one of the things I'm most proud of in my life. Keep up the good work, one day it will all be done and you will have learned so much about building and yourself.
Rosie you're a very gifted designer, very creative and an extremely hard worker. Your parents should be very proud of you. I'm looking forward to see what you have planned next. Have a great day!
Rosie: You have taken on a huge project and are creating an exquisitely crafted home for yourself. What an amazing accomplishment it is. Your design and craftsmanship is so beautiful, as is your filming. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Wow. You are a Lumberjack Superwoman. Your little cottage has come so far. Even if you could only afford cheap wood, it looks so cosy and wonderful. You are an inspiration. Looking forward to following your journey.👏👏👏
You're blessed to still have your parents around. I have friends who rely on their parents at 40+ age and I know it's my personal experience. Lost my Mother at age 9, then my Father at 12. My maternal grandparents kept me for a year before their health was deteriorating. Then off to my paternal Grandmother who was the light of my life. She came from a farmer's hard-working background, sewed, made quilts, gardened, canned, and was frugal. It served me well. She saved all my Social Security checks and when I graduated high school 🏫 added my name to the account. I had 2 scholarships plus social security and went to college. First junior then State. I came so close to being part of a system, yet by all grace from our universe became not only independent but grateful. ❤
Hi Rosie, so nice to look back on the last 2 years and see the wonderful progress you have made on your beautiful cottage. You have accomplished so much, and the results are fabulous. Well done , young lady keep up the good work and keep sending out these great videos. ❤
Thanks for making this recap. How time flies and seeing how much work you already have put into the house. Amazing, and in years to come this dokument of labour will make you proud, eventhough its been a very hard journey, mentally and physically. Well done you.
I can only repeat what many already said before me: I have mad respect for you and even though I don't know you, I feel very proud of you! This is beyond amazing. I can't imagine how much courage and determination it takes to come this far and do this mostly on your own. I am still in awe after watching this. Instant subscribe because I want to know how your journey continues! I hope you are well, happy and healthy.
As commented by many others I'm flabbergasted by how much of a bold step it is to move to a different country and buying a renovation object to fulfill this dream of being close to nature and such serenity. As someone who has learned not only to live but thrive alone in my space this is hugely inspiring. Thank you
yes, amazing and for many people one initial very important issue is see a lawyer about immigration status and rights as quite a few people do this and then are forced to leave!
Wauw!! Echt zo indrukwekkend wat jij allemaal voor elkaar krijgt! Het geduld, doorzettingsvermogen en jouw skills zijn ongelofelijk. Dank je voor het maken van de video’s en het delen van jouw reis
I've wanted to move to Scandinavia since I was 17. It's one of my biggest dreams and it's so encouraging to see people who have actually done it and made that dream a reality.
As someone who lives in Scandinavia, I strongly encourage you to do the move in the spring if you get that opportunity. When she said "August" in the beginning of the video I felt Fear. April-May is about the right time for anyone to move here so they can be settled in before winter hits. The weather can be really brutal from November through February.
I’ve loved watching your progress over the past two years. You are brave and strong Rosie. Thankyou for these little pockets of calm and honesty in the week
Hi Rosie. Huge respect for what you have achieved over the last two years. Thank you for sharing the journey with us - I never miss an episode. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
you starting the video stating you had no diy experience and pulling out this masterpiece just goes to show how humans can learn and adapt quite exceptionally when we put enough effort into it
I love everything you do and I really admire your grit to do this all by yourself. The prospect of you having an oven this winter makes me so happy for you. On a little sidetone, I have been on Hemnet al lot recently, go figure ;-) Thank you for making my Sunday morning! Cheers, Sabine
Wow! I have been entranced watching this with my morning tea and toast on a quiet sunny morning. I am so amazed by your determination and courage and strength to do this. And all alone??? Wow. I keep saying that… and wondering how many people want to come and help 😂😂. Maybe have one of those thanks $$ things on the channel so we can all give a little to your project and enjoy your journey and year three! I was so disappointed this video was over! Looking forward to the wood stove library and living room build. Kudos and thank you for sharing.
I’ve been tuning into your adventures ever since you took out your first wall and it’s been so inspiring! It’s motivated me to start doing my own renovations and believe that even without experience, I can try to make a small difference. Thanks Rosie!
It's amazing what you've done by yourself with no prior experience! Loved watching your progress from buying to present. Can't wait to see what year three brings. I'm sure it will be beautiful.
I’ve been watching you from day one. I think you are so inspiring to everyone. I’m now in my 70’s now but love interior design. Did a lot of buying and selling in the 1970/80s in UK. I just wish I had the energy you have now. When you get to your 70 the mind is willing but not the body so much sadly. Make the most of it. I think you have a soft spot for ‘Chimney man?’
Soooooo brave of you young lady. Respect 🙏 You should host an open day to show others what the human spirit is capable of - “if you book it, they will come” (as the saying goes)
I love watching you progress through this journey. I anticipate each new video and am inspired by your creativity, patience, perseverance and talent. I had a small home built 3.5 years ago but had to some things to improve the lack of storage. I built out the closet in my bedroom with shelving, LOTS of shelving, transformed the small laundry room closet, and have been working on the landscaping around the house to prevent erosion. It has been a lot of work but watching you inspires me to keep going. I'm doing this alone and sometimes it is overwhelming but then I watch your video and I know I can do this. I planted my first garden and used your video to learn how to do it. I grew my own vegetables for the first time!!! It was so exciting and I must say everything I've accomplished is because I gained confidence from watching you! Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for filming your journey and sharing.
I am amazed, I am humbled, and I am so proud for you to see what you have done, and I haven't even finished watching your other videos yet, because I have to send this one out to everybody on my list first! Your parents must be so proud of you. I love good news, and I love success stories, does my heart so much good. Thank you! Who needs celebrities when we see God has gifted his own children with talent like He has gifted you?
Well done Rosie, hope the video also made you realise how far you have come, I have seen so many give up, because living in the building mess is really hard, keep your chin up and carry on, whenever you get to the outside it will be easy!
The kitchen shelves build out is fabulous, thanks. Notching and free pinning for the cross members isn't something I'd ever even thought of but when you see it it's so obvious. Such an elegant way to complete shelves.
You have so much accomplished, wow! Big, big congratulations for your hard work, your imagination, your determination, your will to keep going. I am looking forward to every of your videos. Not only are they very interesting, but also for me as a very impatient person, they remind me that sometimes patience is the key and well worth it. Thanks a lot for taking us with you on your journey!
After watching many of these videos , yesterday I started at Story one and will enjoy your adventures from the beginning. You made The Best cabin search videos. Showing the diff properties was exceptionally well done, Stories 1 & 2.
Unbelievable 😊how strong you are! Your simplicity is the power of your creativity. I love all the outcomes, colours, materials and how green you are! Your dedication and persistence in achieving your goal is admirable! Need to learn from you a lot, that is why I keep on watching ;)
Thank you for this beautiful video, you are so inspiring!! Much appreciation, I just can’t say enough how grateful it makes me to know dreams can come true with some hard work!
I am so impressed with your patience and independence. The cabin looks amazing. You have a good eye for simplicity and beauty. I look forward to move videos. I hope you continue to show your progress to us.
What you have achieved is absolutely astonishing! I’m having trouble finding words to express my amazement at how much you have accomplished! I’m not at all surprised by your ability to make it happen, but I am impressed with your strength and determination to work through any and all obstacles. You are an incredible, inspirational young woman! You can do anything you set your mind to do!!! 😁👏🏻😁👍🏻😁
Wow!! That was so interesting! I have watched you from the first day and watching it all just now , I just want you to give yourself a giant pat on the back for what a lady of your size can accomplish on your own on a BIKE!!!!!!!❤
I've been a carpenter for 25+ years and I must say that for someone with no previous experience, you did a marvelous job especially considering you had no vehicle other than your bike and trailer. Bravo.
So true! But women are crafty, have great common sense, and wonderful planning capabilities. I, myself, learned on the fly with my home. Just wish the previous owners had done things properly; I spend the majority of my time undoing their "repairs," and then I can improve from there. It's very satisfying, seeing that you're capable of so much more than you thought!
Agree! :)) She is an interior designer so she got some experience...but without a car, impressive.
You have incredible talents and skill for being a novice or no previous skills.
Am so impressed and proud of you.
I concur. bravo.

Best comment ever. I want to come too and be born your neighbours. I'll bring my 4x4 ok Rosie, 😂😘
Both. Not born 🙄
Definitely NOT drinking wine in bed and watching this 😂😂😂🍷🛏️👀
Can we all just start a community of us individuals with similar mindfulness and intentions 😭
@@kingjsolomon of course, grab a hammer!
Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I’ve never been more proud of someone I’ve never met! I love the greenhouse, the ceiling in the guesthouse and the library area. Your woodworking is ace and so is your determination.
Good for you girl. You have got Grit !, that means a lot. And you've been blessed with a gritty mom and dad...😇
Couldn't agree more 😊
The fact that she did this all on her own is truly inspiring, well done for doing such an ambitious task!!!
everyone could do this in 24 months. But amazing that some woman could do that.
@@romeolajh1602 ?
I just can’t believe how there’s no code compliance for any of this lmao - she’s making major structural changes to the frame apparently just off the cuff and using any old timber she has to hand.
Holy fuck 😂
Wow, what an impressive, tough, talented woman!
It’s so amazing to me that you took a cabin that really had massive issues and without any experience you’ve made a liveable space. Could I live without an indoor shower? No. Am an astounded you can? Yes! You’re an inspiration ❤
Absolutely impressive right

@@calysagora3615And armed with a bicycle collecing gas bottles, And petrol(gas) for the generator
This is what human beings used to do… FIGURE IT OUT and then they had new skills instead of hiring someone else…
And what a journey it’s been :) and what a privilege us viewers have had getting to follow along
I second that! Yours are my favorite videos, you are talking to my imagination, and going beyond it!
Amazing woman- lovely home, guest home and garden - creative and beautiful!
❤
Girl...this is the BEST UA-cam VIDEO, I've seen in a LONG, LONG TIME...THANKS so MUCH, for BRINGING US ALONG with YOU!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!🎄
You’re proving your grit. Making improvements steadily even with obstacles that would stop many people. So impressed by you.

You're not random - you are a kindred spirit drawn to the same lantern as us :o) 🌻
I am a 45 year old man from Serbia, and I agree with everything you said :)

True. It's the scientific method of trying and finding ways that don't work until you're left with the only one that does. It's never a failure.

It doesn't matter if you are not a master carpenter, you are making a lovely home the way you want and have the satisfaction that you have done almost every bit of the work alone. Congratulations!

Wow! Not only genius, but it gives new meaning to the idea of being driven!
that kitchen and the joinery are simply stunning, especially for someone without prior experience. Real craftsmanship and talent right there!
Wow, my hat off to you lady.

You're blessed to still have your parents around. I have friends who rely on their parents at 40+ age and I know it's my personal experience. Lost my Mother at age 9, then my Father at 12. My maternal grandparents kept me for a year before their health was deteriorating. Then off to my paternal Grandmother who was the light of my life. She came from a farmer's hard-working background, sewed, made quilts, gardened, canned, and was frugal. It served me well. She saved all my Social Security checks and when I graduated high school 🏫 added my name to the account. I had 2 scholarships plus social security and went to college. First junior then State. I came so close to being part of a system, yet by all grace from our universe became not only independent but grateful. ❤
Hi Rosie, so nice to look back on the last 2 years and see the wonderful progress you have made on your beautiful cottage. You have accomplished so much, and the results are fabulous. Well done , young lady keep up the good work and keep sending out these great videos. ❤
Thanks for making this recap. How time flies and seeing how much work you already have put into the house. Amazing, and in years to come this dokument of labour will make you proud, eventhough its been a very hard journey, mentally and physically. Well done you.
Wow. Just wow. I’m left speechless. This is ASTONISHING.
I can only repeat what many already said before me: I have mad respect for you and even though I don't know you, I feel very proud of you! This is beyond amazing. I can't imagine how much courage and determination it takes to come this far and do this mostly on your own. I am still in awe after watching this. Instant subscribe because I want to know how your journey continues! I hope you are well, happy and healthy.
As commented by many others I'm flabbergasted by how much of a bold step it is to move to a different country and buying a renovation object to fulfill this dream of being close to nature and such serenity. As someone who has learned not only to live but thrive alone in my space this is hugely inspiring. Thank you
yes, amazing and for many people one initial very important issue is see a lawyer about immigration status and rights as quite a few people do this and then are forced to leave!

I've done it and regretted it at the end, returned
2 years ago i followed your story, and i am proud of you 🎉❤
Wauw!! Echt zo indrukwekkend wat jij allemaal voor elkaar krijgt! Het geduld, doorzettingsvermogen en jouw skills zijn ongelofelijk. Dank je voor het maken van de video’s en het delen van jouw reis
I've wanted to move to Scandinavia since I was 17. It's one of my biggest dreams and it's so encouraging to see people who have actually done it and made that dream a reality.
As someone who lives in Scandinavia, I strongly encourage you to do the move in the spring if you get that opportunity. When she said "August" in the beginning of the video I felt Fear. April-May is about the right time for anyone to move here so they can be settled in before winter hits. The weather can be really brutal from November through February.
I was so sad when the video ended because I desperately want to see more! Incredible work!😍 Can't wait for more!
I’ve loved watching your progress over the past two years. You are brave and strong Rosie. Thankyou for these little pockets of calm and honesty in the week
Hi Rosie. Huge respect for what you have achieved over the last two years. Thank you for sharing the journey with us - I never miss an episode. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺
I have so enjoyed watching you transform your home..❤
you starting the video stating you had no diy experience and pulling out this masterpiece just goes to show how humans can learn and adapt quite exceptionally when we put enough effort into it
I would agree with others I really admire what you took on here and your parents. How brave you have been. How talented you are too. Just amazing.
I've watched every episode and find that you are a very courageous person. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I love everything you do and I really admire your grit to do this all by yourself. The prospect of you having an oven this winter makes me so happy for you. On a little sidetone, I have been on Hemnet al lot recently, go figure ;-) Thank you for making my Sunday morning! Cheers, Sabine
What a great job you’ve done, you must be so happy with yourself 🦘
Wow! 24 months in 24 minutes. What have you done? A miracle 😂 not only for the cabin, but for your life. ❤ Keep enjoy every moment.
Wow! I have been entranced watching this with my morning tea and toast on a quiet sunny morning. I am so amazed by your determination and courage and strength to do this. And all alone??? Wow. I keep saying that… and wondering how many people want to come and help 😂😂. Maybe have one of those thanks $$ things on the channel so we can all give a little to your project and enjoy your journey and year three! I was so disappointed this video was over! Looking forward to the wood stove library and living room build. Kudos and thank you for sharing.
It's amazing to see how much you have accomplished when it's all put together like this, I hope you feel rightly proud of yourself :)
I’ve been tuning into your adventures ever since you took out your first wall and it’s been so inspiring! It’s motivated me to start doing my own renovations and believe that even without experience, I can try to make a small difference. Thanks Rosie!
thanks you so much for making my day…have a lovely day, big hug from the lake of Zurich🥰
you‘re admirable and an inspitation
Amazing how the human being can be so Brave, congratulations 💪💪💪
You almost brought tears to my eyes. Your determination and patience is unimaginable. God Bless your journey.
I have watched you from the start Rosie you should be so proud of yourself! Such a beautiful little croft you are creating.
It's amazing what you've done by yourself with no prior experience! Loved watching your progress from buying to present. Can't wait to see what year three brings. I'm sure it will be beautiful.
Great work...keep the progress coming! 👍
I’ve been watching you from day one. I think you are so inspiring to everyone. I’m now in my 70’s now but love interior design. Did a lot of buying and selling in the 1970/80s in UK. I just wish I had the energy you have now. When you get to your 70 the mind is willing but not the body so much sadly. Make the most of it. I think you have a soft spot for ‘Chimney man?’
Soooooo brave of you young lady. Respect 🙏
You should host an open day to show others what the human spirit is capable of - “if you book it, they will come” (as the saying goes)
I love watching you progress through this journey. I anticipate each new video and am inspired by your creativity, patience, perseverance and talent. I had a small home built 3.5 years ago but had to some things to improve the lack of storage. I built out the closet in my bedroom with shelving, LOTS of shelving, transformed the small laundry room closet, and have been working on the landscaping around the house to prevent erosion. It has been a lot of work but watching you inspires me to keep going. I'm doing this alone and sometimes it is overwhelming but then I watch your video and I know I can do this. I planted my first garden and used your video to learn how to do it. I grew my own vegetables for the first time!!! It was so exciting and I must say everything I've accomplished is because I gained confidence from watching you! Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for filming your journey and sharing.
I am amazed, I am humbled, and I am so proud for you to see what you have done, and I haven't even finished watching your other videos yet, because I have to send this one out to everybody on my list first! Your parents must be so proud of you. I love good news, and I love success stories, does my heart so much good. Thank you! Who needs celebrities when we see God has gifted his own children with talent like He has gifted you?
Well done Rosie, hope the video also made you realise how far you have come, I have seen so many give up, because living in the building mess is really hard, keep your chin up and carry on, whenever you get to the outside it will be easy!
The kitchen shelves build out is fabulous, thanks. Notching and free pinning for the cross members isn't something I'd ever even thought of but when you see it it's so obvious. Such an elegant way to complete shelves.
The excitement over the miter saw was just amazing! 😂
You have so much accomplished, wow!
Big, big congratulations for your hard work, your imagination, your determination, your will to keep going.
I am looking forward to every of your videos.
Not only are they very interesting, but also for me as a very impatient person, they remind me that sometimes patience is the key and well worth it.
Thanks a lot for taking us with you on your journey!
Awesome overview of all your challenges! Well Done! Winning Rosie! 🤩💯

What you have achieved is absolutely astonishing! I’m having trouble finding words to express my amazement at how much you have accomplished! I’m not at all surprised by your ability to make it happen, but I am impressed with your strength and determination to work through any and all obstacles. You are an incredible, inspirational young woman! You can do anything you set your mind to do!!! 😁👏🏻😁👍🏻😁
