    Everything is fine, everything is good. I also wanted to emigrate to Tuscany with my ex-girlfriend. The dream has been shattered. It's fun to watch videos like this and I'm always happy when old houses like this are given new life. But to make dreams like this come true you need time and money. There's nothing more to say. Good luck to you both in heaven on earth. I like that this young man has a connection to nature. I like that.

      I'm sorry to hear that your dream has been shattered, I hope you get to chase a dream one day. But I'm glad that you enjoyed the video. Dreams like these consume a lot of money and time indeed. I agree not much else to say. UA-cam has also been harder than I thought it would be, so I might have to get my self a job after the roof is done. I'm not complaining, it is what it is. Thanks for the good luck wish and I sure do love being in the middle of nature.

    You have an excellent olive oil yeld of 14,85 % whereas normally in the north is 10 to 12%,that means your olive cultivars are LOCAL and very hardy and adapted to humidity AND that you sun exposition is EXCELLENT--- YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON PLANTING MANY MORE OLIVE TREES of the same cultivar AND growing seedlings to SELL AS PREMIUM... (PS I used to 😅live on the other side of the valley as it's obvious by my nickname, still have a house there...)

    • @ChristenThykjaer
      @ChristenThykjaer  10 днів тому +1

      I have an admission to make regarding the 15 kg, we only got 14 kg from the 101 kg of olives, I had the weight of our olive oil container wrong. I really should do all those things with olives anyways. We have around 300 trees more further down the mountain towards the river, I "just" need to remake the road, so I can get to them with the tractor and tools. Currently I can only access it by walking. Nice that you kept the house, why don't you move back 😉

    I just started fallowing you. Only watched this video so far. Amazing place, amazing job. I only couldn’t figured out how big is your property, how many buildings. How many acres are there around the house.
    I would like to know that.
    Never give up your dreams. One day I’m gonna have my own farm.

    • @ChristenThykjaer
      @ChristenThykjaer  10 днів тому

      Thank you for the follow I appreciate it so much. We have 20 hectares of land well spread around the area, we actually don't know where most of it is. (When the not so little tiny house is done, I'll figure out where all of it is) The buildings are hard to explain in text, but in episode 10 I outline which buildings we own on drone footage, here is the link; ua-cam.com/video/DvMjK9RJMNQ/v-deo.htmlsi=nzfbVooUwOMHfqB1
      Furthermore you make an excellent point to never give up on your dreams, Stine and I would never be where we are if we didn't try our dreams out! I'm sure you will get your farm one day, just take small steps and decisions every day and then one day you'll find yourself living your dream!

    How wonderful to work towards a wedding day and then get married on your own land - living the dream 😍Congratulations 💏
    Three bits of advice if you're open to it?
    Firstly ......working (toiling dayly) on your land will eventually hurt your back. You seems to have a long back so please considerd investing in a back brace, like those belts that weight lifters use, as it will save damaging or wearing down your long spine that needs to last your life time 😉
    Secondly, if you haven't already done this, please consider finding all the information you need to contact your nearest poison control centre should you or a guest be bitten by a viper.
    Thirdly...... You really need to consider using *goggles* when using grinding, sanding, strimming or sawing electric tools. An accident to your eyes would be horrendous and severely delay any progress on your project or your life if its serious.
    Really love your 'growing tool handles' project 😍

    • @ChristenThykjaer
      @ChristenThykjaer  10 днів тому

      It sure was wonderful and a little stressful, we are certainly living our dream, thanks. You make some excellent points, I really try to lift correctly in my squats and think about it when I do heavy lifts. I'll look into a lifting belt, it is a good idea.
      We live 8 mins from a hospital, so that is thankfully covered should we be so unlucky to be bitten. The previous owner actually got bitten ones, and the hospital was thankfully close by.
      I think I'm actually quite good at using safety equipment, but sanding I don't always wear it, not as dangerous(sorry) as the grinder, chainsaw or strimmer.
      Thanks for saying that about growing tool handles, one of the projects that excites me the most even though it involves a whole lot of waiting. I'm going to do so many more of them, there is so many cool old tool heads in the basements. 😉

    I noticed your land seems to be terraced, I know they grew grapes or olive trees on terraces was your property ever used for such?
    And what bread are you making?

    • @ChristenThykjaer
      @ChristenThykjaer  10 днів тому

      Yes it was indeed used for growing olives and grapes, we actually do an olive harvest in this video from our olive trees, believe it or not 😅

      In this video I have preserved various fruits, so hard to tell which one you mean, but we have done plums, figs, elderflower juice, kaki fruit, tomatoes and olive oil. And probably something else I have forgotten. Hope this sort of answers your question. 😊

    • @ChristenThykjaer
      @ChristenThykjaer  10 днів тому +1

      I think so, but I haven't worked on it since the last clip from this video. I can properly answer this question when I cut it on the back of the trunk in the upcoming spring. I'm a little nervous I must admit. 😅
