That's what it was, you where mixing up grout hahahaha Well I came close with my answer!!! Looks like you two had an amazing week working, starting to come together. I will miss the animal show once the kittens are gone, Walt is so sweet with them!! Left you a message on the other side Dave, wondering if that would be at all possible with the pump. How is all the trees doing, that and the rest of the garden?? The jam making looked really good, nice with all the fresh fruit! Have a great week you two!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤
Noooo hahah I was making clay but ahhhh but I see how you got there as it's the same bucket hahaha. The animal show hahahah that made me laugh well chickens soon need to make a coop but trying to come up with a good design
Cover the hole asap with just plastic wrap so you dont have to rip walls apart rescuing kittens!❤❤ keep the marble kitten please please! You two did amazing accomishments this video!! 🎉🎉 Celebrate with food on/in your beautiful new stove/cooker! Such luxuries now❤❤ Have an anazing week! PS i learned if you comment more often your you tube numbers go up! So go you!! Happy gabby me!!!
Awwww thankyou dude. Have you ever heard the full phrase it goes..... "Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” basically it's better to be good at a few things then perfect at just one hahaha
It would be lovely to have an invite to your lovely home for afternoon tea,homemade jam tea and scones 😊 the fire and the hearth is just lovely well done ❤😊❤😊
Thanks so much. Jam has always been something I can take it leave...... Until I made my own I love it. I need to make sure I don't eat it all this weekend 🤗
A tool to remove seeds from berries, tomatoes, and the like is called a food mill. Imagine making 10 kg of tomato sauce. It’s that thing. Look it up, some are cheap, some can do 50 kg/day for decades. Good for bumper crops.
That's amazing thankyou Bob I will have a look for one, especially as we will be making a lot of pasta sauces too and the seeds aren't especially good for you in tomatoes. It's looking like we have at least 25kg of tomatoes just on the 5 plants by the window I think they are Roma tomatoes
I didn't enjoy how thick it was when bashing a hole out hahaha. The accent windows are lovely aren't they. They were another little brain fart of mine that really do let so much more light in 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Pausing 14:56 hole in the wall! you guessed me again! Dont let those rascal kittens get into your wall! Ugh! What is a I'm sure a terrifying segment for you to be putting a hole in the wall! But you did a great job!
Lookout for a small crystal object.. vase, tumbler, paperweight , small horse/dog ornament... for the small block window shelf. The light coming off of it would look so pretty. Just a thought. Love how you both seem so contented with your lives. (Very slighty jealous lol) Best wishes from Essex
Ahhh yes that would be great to get some rainbows and different lights coming through an ornament I will keep an eye out now for something interesting 🤗🤗🤗. I honestly used to chase the dollar and want a bigger house and car etc and then we just realised it's all BS the more you have the more problems you get we are loving the simpler life now for sure 😃😃😃😃😃
Ah awesome. I'll do some research this piece of metal is definitely from something else but it came inside the burner so we need to make sure it's safe. Thankyou so much for the info
I would center the stove on the wall. I know there's a beam above it. Put either or an elbow or a 45° stove pipe up net to the beam to go around it. Just a thought. Not being centered messes with my OCD. 😊
I know exactly what you mean I must have moved it about 30 times hahah I'm hoping it's centred once the sofa is in but even though I've punched a home through I'm still not convinced hahahahah. OCD it ..... It makes us excellent at some things and then massive procrastinaters at others hahaha. Thanks for watching Gerry have an amazing weekend
Thankyou. We need to find a way to cover the bottom as it looks strange but it's a nice height now and we've made a nice gap either side. Thankyou so much for the advice 🙏
@@escapetothequinta in NZ it is now called Granny's stove blacking, but comes in the same zebra striped packaging, as mum's did 70 years ago. I believe it does work on cast iron but I have not seen it used for that.
Pausing 16:33 if you paint it, it is imperative you use a specialist high vilocity heat paint, it will off gas nasty stuff! But just start a few small fires firsts to off gas. Make sure to soapy water or vinegar water to clean with hard brush and dry entire surfaces completely before paint. You cannot season an iron stove with olive oil, as its a fire hazard so they say.
We used the proper stuff and it's turned out really nice I think once we seal the bricks it'll look nice in the space. ☺️☺️☺️ Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the comments and helping to push the video really means a lot ☺️🙏
I remember 'back in the days' we had a similar fire burner alo with the sofa so nearby and my suede spanish 'slippers' created puffs of smoke at a certain point fluttering upwards. So the sofa might be too close for the heat it is generating (or the fire burner might now be positioned too close towards the future position of the sofa. #itisnotfuntowatchtvwithsemiburninglegs
You definitely don't want that though I do like the sound of suede slippers they sound really debonair. Thanks for the advice Marco have a lovely weekend 🤗
Just wondering why you didnt put the log burner in the corner it would be out of the way. That way the heat would go out and around the room. Plus you would be able to divide spaces with furniture. I am loving the renovation you have done it proves hard work and patience pays off
I thought about that at first and was looking for a corner type log burner then we thought about one opposite the entrance so it was sort of central in the building but we opted for that wall so we have a cosy 'nook' but then the other half of the room will be slightly cooler so Walt can decide his Happy temperature haha even though in the UK he lived about ,6 inches from our burner 😆
Might want to reconsider your stove pipe plan. Your better off running the stove pipe straight up about 3-4 feet adding a damper in that section then 90 degree elbow then a 2-3 foot section of double wall pipe through the wall then 90 degree finished with straight pipe 4 feet above the roof line and at least 1' away from the edge of the roofing then add rain cap. Don't want to do it the way you have it set up now as rain in moisture will run down your wall and stove pipe hit the 45 degree pipe you are planning and run inside your walls into the house. all to caulk and plaster you can apply will fail right away with all the heat expanding and shrinking the contact with the stove pipe. getting the heat to go strait up the 4 feet or so will help get the draft flowing so the 90 degree elbow is not a problem and the in line dampener will help control the stove temp. Running your last run of pipe outside up past your roof line will help with getting good draw. Don't forget to get ridged wall mounts to attach the outside pipe to the exterior wall for protection from the wind. The shiny metal piece you have is meant for angled roof attachment not through walls. All stove pipe wall penetration's unless through stone or brick only should use double wall pipe. Sorry I went on so long but if you were ever to have a fire and I didn't say something I couldn't forgive myself. If your just staying with concrete floors the size of you hearth is OK but if you plan any flammable flooring options around the fire then your hearth should extend about 16"past the side you load the fire box from.
Ahhh thanks for the advice I definitely need to do some further research as 3 people have told me 3 different ways hahaha. Thanks for the info though as it has got me thinking. And of course it better to do a job once then 3 times hahhahah
Great progress, it’s coming together so nicely. Any plans for the floor? Btw kittens look great, their round bellies have gone down I see. Soo happy you found good homes for them. Keep up the great work ❤😊
Thankyou so much. They are all happy and playing and knocking everything over hahah. Not sure about the floor yet I wanted to try something different but really undecided. Any ideas? Have a lovely weekend 🤗
Hello, would you please explain to us why are you doing so many different projects in the same time. It will be nice to see each of these projects completed,
Oh I know I really want to get to the point where each project can be a job completed, however at the moment we are juggling a few things and when we need items they seem to take quite a while to get here I literally have a list of things we are waiting for 🤣🤣🤣. Once we start on the barn I think we will do things one project at a time as it will be a bit simpler I think (hope) haha have a lovely weekend 🙏
From last weeks water well I was wondering how did the big old house get water and what about the cows in the cow shed isnt there a water source close by.
Thanks everyone for watching we love your questions and comments 🤗🤗🤗
Just build it up with old bricks to match your hearth. The bricks also hold warmt.❤
That would look lovely wouldn't it ☺️☺️☺️
It’s all happening 👏👏❤️❤️
It is haha but very dusty dirty work it took so long hahah
Very nice hole in the wall 😅. You're doing a great job.
Making the hole is easy filling can be the hard part ahhahaha thankyou ☺️
It is getting more and more cozy 👍
Isn't it just.... Can't wait U til the day I can sit on a sofa light a fire and go ahhhhhh it's done haha
The glass bricks add so much character to that back wall, it looks amazing.👍
It does doesn't it. We love it, we need to find something that will reflect and refract light around the room like glass or crystal 🔮
It’s not a cow shed anymore! You are doing an amazing job!
Awwwww thankyou ☺️🙏🙏🏻

Awwww thankyou dude. Have you ever heard the full phrase it goes..... "Jack of all trades master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” basically it's better to be good at a few things then perfect at just one hahaha
Nice progress in your house I hope before the winter will be nice and cozy, plus little ones playing I enjoy watching so much 😊
I know right hahah it feels like a million miles away as it's 35 degrees but we really need to get ready for winter haha 🤣
It would be lovely to have an invite to your lovely home for afternoon tea,homemade jam tea and scones 😊 the fire and the hearth is just lovely well done ❤😊❤😊
I should do sandwiches, crumpets, scones and Victoria sponge with a selection of teas and coffees. "Afternoon tea at the cow shed" hahah
What a lovely young couple! Thank you for entertaining an old lady from Yorkshire 👵🏼😊🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛🐈🐈⬛
Awwww thankyou for watching. Yorkshire is such a wonderful place, are you by the Dale's?
Kitchen looking great and love the colour. Wood heater has come up well. Love the kittens. Nothing like homemade jam.😀
Thanks so much. Jam has always been something I can take it leave...... Until I made my own I love it. I need to make sure I don't eat it all this weekend 🤗
Oh my gosh!!! Pausing at 1:43 that jam/preserves looks absolutely delish!😮❤😋
It was so good, peach and blackberries go so well together 🤗🤗🤗

Ooooooo! Pausing 11:34❤❤❤❤ My favorite kitten of the bunch❤❤❤❤
Marble is lovely isn't she. So adorable.
Lovely to see all this hard work coming together to make such a homely living space.
Thanks so much it is really starting to feel like a cost little cottage and long term it will be a lovely place for guests to stay for a few nights
Lots of great work going on. That wood heater is perfect for your space.❤️🇨🇦
Thankyou so much. I guess you know how important a good burner is over there where you get a few feet of snow hahah
@@escapetothequintaI live in Victoria BC. We are referred to as little England. Not much snow, but more since climate change. I love your channel❤️🇨🇦
Ahhh nice my brother used to live a little inland of there in Armstrong. Lovely snow in the winters it would make me jealous haha 😆
WOW 😲❤great job on the wood burner
Thankyou so much. It definitely looks a bit nicer now 🤗🤗🤗
Pausing 11:08 ,I love that your walls are so thick! Will be so comfy in winter, and cool in summer. That little window is such a darling accent piece!
I didn't enjoy how thick it was when bashing a hole out hahaha. The accent windows are lovely aren't they. They were another little brain fart of mine that really do let so much more light in 🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@escapetothequintabashing a hole out😂😂 but look what you created!
☺️☺️☺️
Pausing 5:59 You need a little locked tool shed❤
I do for real, the plan is to convert the downstairs of the cow shed it'll make an excellent tool store
Pausing 14:56 hole in the wall! you guessed me again! Dont let those rascal kittens get into your wall! Ugh! What is a I'm sure a terrifying segment for you to be putting a hole in the wall! But you did a great job!
Thankyou ☺️🙏🏻🙏🙏🏻🙏
Love seeing progress in your house
Thankyou step by step we are slowly getting there

greattttt video ,so much done for you, kittens are so cute , fire will be amazing ,welldone your getting there yessss xx
Thankyou so much really means a lot comments like this and really motivates us 😀
The log burner look great!!! Good job. ❤
Thankyou Lorrie 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Our previous word burner had a metal plate which fitted inside at the top at a slight angle. It is necessary so I'm told.
Ah awesome. I'll do some research this piece of metal is definitely from something else but it came inside the burner so we need to make sure it's safe. Thankyou so much for the info
Great video again guys! So, Dave not only is builder, carpenter, farmer and now a chef I can see 😂 One more step closer to have your home done!
Hahahha I wish dude. It was good jam though. Papa seco, real butter and homemade Jam.is a good combo 🤣
@@escapetothequinta yeah I bet it is! The best part of the taste is being made by you!
For sure dude. Real salted butter too is soooo good
@@escapetothequinta Yeah! That's life! xD
Would love to have cows at some point and make my own but that's 10 years down the line for sure

Pausing Me again 😂 you will want to shield and tile wall behind that beautiful wood stove??? The size is perfect, and its beautitul❤
Thankyou so much, just not sure the look we are after yet for the heat shield I want something a bit rustic 🤗
you have to put zing metal on wall panel and floor also heavy metal for hot fireplace
Ahhh thankyou 🤗🤗🤗🤗
So glad you’ve raised the cooker 😢
Thankyou. We need to find a way to cover the bottom as it looks strange but it's a nice height now and we've made a nice gap either side. Thankyou so much for the advice 🙏
Our old coal range was cleaned with zebra stove blacking, which I am pretty sure is still available. When it was done it was gleaming.
Ahh I will have to research this someone else said this was amazing. Does it work on cast iron pots too? Thankyou 🤗🙏🏻🙏🏻

it is such a shame that flue did not come out of the wall inside the washroom area it would have provided a bit of heat in there during wintertime.
Would have been a great towel dryer hahah
You could maybe use the neck of a plastic water bottle as a funnel.
Great idea and we do have lots of bottle hahahah
I really like the videos you share.. 👍
Aww thankyou so so much 🤗🤗🤗
🙏❤️👍
☺️☺️☺️☺️
Anything but corrugated iron for the fireplace!!!! Just remember any product you put on a wall needs to be able to be cleaned!
Ahhhh good point. I'm still undecided on what I think will look nice there. Any ideas? Thankyou
From last weeks water well I was wondering how did the big old house get water and what about the cows in the cow shed isnt there a water source close by.
Hmmmm I know what you mean but we cant find anything. I think they must have used the borehole to fill the big tank and gravity fed everything else 😀
Won't see the flame sitting on the side of it. I would put it in the corner so you can sit on either side.
I would love to put a wingback opposite it. I can imagine reading a book in winter while the fire is on an a stew is cooking on top of the fire 😁😁😁
Need to find a Fine China Cap Strainer, Remove seeds and coarse particles from liquids like orange juice or gravy by using this china cap strainer.
Ahh amazing thankyou. We have a large batch of tomato sauce to make soon so something like this would really come in handy 😁
❤❤❤❤❤❤
