Cindy, I admire your positive outlook and all the work you do alone. Thanks to Nick, who helped you with the water problem.
Thank you so much!
How funny! “Saint” Nick’s halo was tilting from the horns popping up for a fight about cricket & rugby!🤣🤣
Haha he was trying to rile me up!
@@CindyVineoh yes!! We caught that too 🤣🤣
Youre so funny!!!😅 I love watching you!!! Thank you❤❤❤
Yay! Thank you!
When a gift is homemade it’s is given with extra love. Such a clever girl x
Thanks
Best part of Sunday: Cindy Vine therapy, loved the video, Nick is a Godsend❤ and yay our Bokke🏆🇿🇦
Springboks!
Cindy, love your drinks and jams! ❤
Thanks!
Thanks for video Cindy and thanks Nick for helping out again. Nice cooking day. Enjoy your evening wiith friends. ❤1🏴
Was a good evening!
Cindy, if you need a smile, this Monday morning, inbtw the chores, see, "Portugal on a shoestring" with Brian and Diane, doing a Reno . A delightful couple. Also, Dream life, Portugal with Suzi, second Reno property. They all encourage one with the ups 'n downs of life. Maybe sometimes dress up a little bit. Sorry to say! Those mens shorts...flip flops! Very bad for back probs! Just a hair brush, some lippy, earrings, slacks , pumps, for a change. Maybe when doing a cooking session, apron and nails! A little normal...please? As if you were in Cape town!💐
Thanks for sharing.
The submersible pump is such a great idea! Glad you have found a solution. ll the animals are looking so happy and healthy. 💗
They are lookng good!
I take my hat off to you Cindy, you work hard on your dream☺
Always!
Hi Cindy i think you must cross the legs of that sheep feeders like your wood chop thing. You can fix the three together with the middle one that have no side's ( blue drums) . Then make three cross legs under it. It will be sturdy enough with side planks. Maybe it will work tie it to the fence . Thanks Saint Nick you are a good friend to all❤🙏🤗🐖🐑🐕🐈⬛🥀
Great idea!
I think you would love to have a Joby gorilla pod.
It's like a camera tripod, but you can also bend the legs around anything!
I can just imagine you walking your farm and whenever you want to do something with both hands, you can just fix the camera in a tree or something else!
I must add that to my wish list on Amazon!
great job from nick good man allways great job see ya
He is a champ!
Cinds very hapoy your pumps sorted and gingerbeer and pickles look good❤
Been busy in the kitchen this week!
Nick is Project Portugal 😊
He is Project Portugal!
Enjoy your lemonade you work so hard you deserve it
Thank you!
Goedemorgen Cindy! The fermenting method is very ancient and super healthy.
I am enjoying going on a fermenting blitz!
@@CindyVine Good for you! 👍🏻
A while ago I bought a book with the title 'Verrot lekker' - Christian Weij
Yea cinds glad u sorted and thks to nic and andrea always huge hearts❤
They are awesome!
And bob is your uncle gravy😂
lol
Yes, Thank you Nick. The pump is not designed to be outside and exposed for lengths of time, heat/sun/rain will kill everything mechanical
Submersible pumps are designed for that as far as I know.
@@CindyVineI meant the generator, what used to be the motorized pump that brokedown
God bless Nick and Andrea! Sending prayers for them for good health and prosperity. Also, to you, Ms. Cindy.
They are superstars!
That new generator and submersible pump should be quite a game changer. Should be a lot less trouble. Do you have a way to print pix? Maybe print pix of some of these devices and chart wire placement and starting procedures, and trouble shooting. Esp if you don't have to do it very often. I find that some manuals use strange terminology for guys, and you wonder what the hell it all means. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
That's a great idea!
37:34 wobbly feeder. If you attach wood along the horizontal long sides, at the top, it will make it sturdy.
You can connect the two long bars with two short bars at the endings, now you have a frame around the top.
Add a piece of wood at the bottom on that open side and then you can close the feeder.
Now you can add some legs.
I'm going to take it apart and start again.
Never give up Cindy. You are an inspiration to so many. ❤
Thank you very much!
Lovely video ❤ lots of content
Thanks a ton and thanks for your help!
Ginger beer, what a treat. Radish dipped in a little salt is sinful❤. Could the new feeders be screwed into the base of half/third of a palette to give it more weight to stop it being moved or tipped? Have a great week with the cooling weather.
Yep, have to rethink the plan.
Hi, am so impressed ...you are a go getter..wow
But I wanna know the song at beginning of video..that says tell me that...something. good luck with your projects..
The song is from Epidemic Sound.
Thank you Cindy Vine for your wonderful video!
Please keep up your inventive projects. Please know that your creative endeavors are appreciated by your viewers as well as your loved ones on the farm!
So…. I believe if you get a simple workbench your wizardry can really take off🎉🎉🔨🔧🪚🛠️🎉
A workbench would be great!
Hi Cindy, both your machines that you depend on need all weather covers. Nick has made a temporary one. If you can find a larger plastic roof so that rain etc cant blow on to it. A large piece of shadecloth would help. Also is it secure if wind is strong? Cement block surround? The one against your wall? Maybe an old table to cover it with shadecloth. Expensive purchases. Ditto with van, you rely on. Are you putting a flat roof on garage? With slight slope and gutter to catch water? What a bonus all the twigs and branches you have lying around for your stove to burn. Like the Dover stoves and constant hot water and soup slow cooking daily all Winter. Have you ever thought of advertising for a retired person to " house share"? They could hire a caravan, and be willing to do chores, esp when you are away. Someone who would love the lifestyle, but have a private pension. A good c v a must and contactable references. Might take the pressure off a lot, for peace of mind.🤔😊
I don't have a garage and have no plans to build a garage.
🤔🙄😏🤨🤭🚐🌳☺️
Small garage/ barn? waiting for completion? Btw, try cutting back tomato plant, water it, you may be surprised. Garden centres are good places for solid cement trays and containers. Nick and Andrea have really gone the extra, extra mile this time, how about some really good SA port for the Winter? Portuguese port from Douro valley as well. Tim Atkins wine report out now, re his choice of best Western cape vintage. Be good to your self and your feet.
Hint..when cleaning off solar panel use a dry cloth first to remove the soil..otherwise it ends up smeared with a muddy cloud. My horses have somehow ripped my energiser cable out,no clue where it's gone,they managed to wreck the last ones wires too..argh..wish I knew someone who knows about electrictrickery things! Guess it's back to the university of youtube to work out how to repair them myself 😂
Yep, it never ceases to amaze me how wires have their own agenda!
Hi Cindy, enjoyed the pigs screaming to be fed at once! They are quite demanding aren’t they?
Even the young ones, they’ve learn fast how it’s done!😂can you tell us how to make the fermented drink, and how many days it ❤needs to ferment? Thank you for the video!
Are you wanting the ginger beer recipe?
Yes, thank you.
Nic a a bk of knowledge😊
He's a tech manual lol.
❤😁
Thanks!
Hi Cindy, nice generator👍🙌💪
Why don't you do the legframe first, then screw the blue thingy on it. 🤔
I have a question about that thing you use to connect the chicken wire onto the sheepwire, what is it called and where to buy? Thank you😊
Hog Ring Pliers and you can get them from Amazon. Here's the link amzn.to/4gf3HgC
@@CindyVine thank you❤
28:28 So sad actually, all those microplastics we spray into the environment...
I hope they don't get into your water supply there.
Hope they don't.
Solar panels have to be kept really clean to work properly. Leaving ANY dirt film significantly decreases their ability to create power. (yes, it did still look too dirty).
(Trying to be helpful and not critical.)
I did clean it with a window cleaner after I washed it.
Why dont u jist make a square fir it into
I might try that!
🫶🏻🌟👏👍🍀💐
thanks
