    I originally started watching your channel because of your nugget-hunting adventures. Now it's nugget-hunting and new homestead adventures! which ties in nicely with your prospecting.
    In my humble opinion, it really made your channel so much better!! (Disclaimer, it was great before) I think you now have something most other gold prospecting channels don't have. Next stop, 100.000 subs!!! 🤠

    Great restoration work on the homestead property. It is time to paint all the fences, walls, wiring, poles, buildings, building trim, and water tanks…. maybe with white paint - a good light reflector. another idea is possibly give the homestead an official name so everyone around the community knows the locations with a big sign posted on the water tanks and maybe with painted Australian/German flags.

    I wonder if the remnants that you have in the chicken mesh around the pool area is what they use to do to make an enormous Coolgardie safe. They’d put fibre between two layers of chicken mesh and wet the fibre. When the wind blew through it would be wonderfully cool on the other side. Whole sheds were made like that. Evaporative cooling in the outback... smart

    Hi there! What a wonderfull job you have achieved for one day. Where are you in Our Outback. I follow a LOT of Homesteaders - mainly in USA also country folk in Canada and Portugal. Some I’ve followed for 5 yrs or more. Australian outback is a different ‘kettle_of_fish’. Yes I’m an Aussie. I live in the eastern Brisbane suburb of Sandgate. I’m on the very edge of the Pacific, I’m opposite Morton Island on a good day photos even showMoreton Island. I’ve never really lived in the real outback, but when I had my first baby, we were living over 100 miles south west of Mackay and we were on a lighting plant not solar panels they weren’t as popular then this is nearly 50 years ago, but I do understand at least some of the problems you have. I had a friend who went and ‘managed’ a property ( Windaroo I think was the name). Now that is country ‘Outback’ I used to have - lost on a defunked computer. Gives cleaning house a totally different concept. A pool of any otter is wonderful. When we lived out at Nebo we had an open ‘ground level’ huge tank. Cattle, birds, everything drank from it and yes - with old shirts & shorth - we would cool ourselves in this. Wonderful way to enjoy a Sun Set after a hot day. Catch you later, Ellen from Sandgate, Qld.

    Great work guys the place is coming along real good and smart idea using the Eco flow for various chores have you only got the one? might be an idea on having a spare even though you guys have the generator at least you don't have to fuel up the Eco Flow with diesel or petrol lol. I like the stone work on the footpath and around the clothes line. How many window panes need replacing you could probably use some clear perspex on them next time you guys venture into a hardware store I don't envisage the postman coming out to the property lol. Stay safe guys and really good seeing you're both well etc.

      Hi Rod, we're running at least five different batteries for the house, three of them are solar generators and perfect for devices like starlink and laptop. The Delta 2 is our portable power supply, the other batteries run lights, the fan, fridges and the freezer. Since we only use a small section of the house (the kitchen for doing dishes) and our lives take place outside we're not too worried about the windows yet. We'll have to get onto the roof first and replace rotten timbers so we can screw down the sheets of iron again. There is still a lot to do around here but we're happy and comfortable and are being kept busy.
