I'm so glad you show us how to do stuff like this. The concept maybe be easy but doing it may not. I knew you could do it. But showing us gives the rest of us, hope that we can do it.😊
Thanks 😊.
Oh ! No the vlog ended...I feel you are a good friend whom I could go on listening to on and on with a cup of coffee ofcourse .
Thank you ☺️
I appreciate these videos. I am a single woman and so, like you, am constantly busy in and around the house. Sometimes I just get tired...but you inspire❤
You are so welcome!
Great job Adelina! I fixed my breakfast and coffee in preparation to be able to sit down and watch my Sunday special with Adelina and Sophie!
Great job on the "tree trimming!"
Just a little FYI, safety goggles and a hard hat might be very beneficial. I know that it was just smaller stuff that you were cutting, but from that height, if something fell, it could do some damage to an eye...you are always safety conscious, I just thought I'd
" throw that out there" lol
Thanks for sharing and I hope that you have a blessed week! 🥰
Yes, I forgot to put the glasses back on 😩
13:34 Admire your independence. I would be asking a neighbor to borrow a ladder😂 or asking the landlord to cut the branches.
I would think the landlord should be responsible for trimming the trees
You go girl!!!! That worked great. Love your thought process and budget friendly considerations!
Adelina, have a great rest of your day. Have a wonderful week. Till next time wishing you well❤
Thanks Douglas 😁
That expandable ladder is really neat.
It's great for getting on to the roof of the van for sure. I need one tall enough for the house though.
Way to go girl! You’re a credit to women everywhere!
Thanks 😁
i'm glad you read my mind and got that trimmer looking at you and that ladder was nervous for you, the people who do our community that is what they use for tall trees. congratulation.
😁
You are just like a neighbor next-door that’s how I feel a good friend and sharing a cup of coffee, teaching us how to do things persevering you and I would make a great team. I do those kind of things as well and some projects look easy until you get into it. Stay safe stay blessed be kind. Hello from South Carolina.❤️✝️🙏🌺🌸🪴🍃
What a great comment😻. Thank you!🙏🏼
Really fun hanging out with you..yesterday! Lol. Way to go getting those branches pruned and out of the way. And hello Sophie! 😄 always wanting to say hello to us too. 💗
She wanted to say hi for sure 🐈😊.
Love watching you SLAY your projects!!
Thanks Jay ☺️❤️
I was nervous with you alone on the ladder. Relieved when you found something that allowed you to stay on the ground and clip the branches. Better sleep now. Love the Sophie cameo❤
You and me both!
My comfort content! Such an awesome video as always. ❤❤ I love your Homemade recipes 🍛🍝🍲Adelina 🎉😅🩵🪅. We always look forward to seeing more. Heyyyy Sophie Giirlie 🐈😻🤗🧚🏾♀️🫶🏾🤩✅
Thank you so much 🤗
that was really smart to buy that piece of equipment to trim that tree limbs.
Thanks 😊.
Great video again! I like that you are always thinking and you're a doer!
😊
Where there’s a will, there’s a way! 🚐❤️🇨🇦
Before you go on van adventure in summer do post how you summer prep your cozy & beautiful home if possible.I wonder what you do with the windows sunlight coming in summer..I love your pretty tiny home so much ! I am much younger than you but can't think of climbing a ladder.... you are an inspiration!
☺️
A woman after my own heart! Resourceful about the tree branches and planful with your auto maintenance! Actually, I haven't had a vehicle in 2.5 years now and don't miss it....one less thing to keep up with and I find I can get by without one easily where I live. It also forces me to get more exercise by walking.
Good for you! 😊
A job well done, as always! Love that ladder 🪜 ❤
Thanks Nancy 😊
Your independence is to be admired.
Thanks 😊
Wow! I'm impressed...you are woman, hear you roar!😊
I think you mean 'we' are women! 😁
Great accomplishments; thanks for sharing. We have a similar trimmer/saw that we added to a long pole; they work great! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
It's a handy little tool.
Good to keep branches away from the roof as it can be a fire hazard, though maybe not on Vancouver Island! I need to look into one of those gadgets as i typically get on a ladder with a saw!
Handy little tool for sure.
Are you able to be on the roof? I wondered if you could get up there from the other end, which is lower, and used clippers. Your purchase will probably come in very handy with your location and all the trees. I hope you sleep better now that the branch is gone. 🙂I would start asking friends and neighbors about recommendations for mechanics to find your new favorite. I know it can be hard.
Yep, I've asked around but unfortunately the place that was recommended can't accommodate the Promaster.
Glad that you bought that tool. We had one like that at our old house (with 8 trees). I service my car like you do, it's the best way to go. Continued blessings!
Thanks. You too 😊.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Breakfast looks delicious.
Played it safe and did a good job. You might contact Fiskars and inquire if they have any rebates. Be sure and fill out the product review. State why you purchased and the ease of use, etc. Let them know you would have purchased the $$ battery one if you had a rebate for the battery!!! hint hint. Companies read those reviews.
Home Depot should honored after the purchase with a gift card.
One chore down. More to follow. Have a great week.
Thanks for the tips!
Great video.
Good luck with CTire for your vehicle, i hope it went well for you.
I love the ctire store, but personally, i would drive towns away to get someone else to maintain my vehicle.
The store is great, garage a nightmare.
A woman after my own heart! I have owned one for 29 years and still use it at 73.
I just bought some today of those frozen peppers.
Where there is a will, there is an Adlina. You go girl!!
Thanks.
Adelina , when you want your ladder
to be level just put some wood under
the feet! My husband has small blocks
that he says-"don't throw these out"!I
need them for the ladder! So,there you
go,for next time! Don't forget there are
"odd job guys!" that love to help out
people in need!😊. We have a group in
our town that are very obliging -some
jobs are free and some cost a reason-
able price! Keep well and don't forget
to talk to the locals for useful tidbits!
Cheers,Sandy😊
Thanks Sandy 😊.
❤
🌸
Awesome work…💁🏻♀️😍
Thanks 😊
Love that Adelina-Can-Do spirit!
😁❤️
Now … that was the right choice! Good job! 👏👏👏👏. 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks 😊
Adelina, great job! Love your can do spirit! Eu também sou portuguesa! I read once that our brain does not comprehend or translate well the word not. Once it sees it eliminates it - therefore DON’T FORGET is translated as DO FORGET. I would like to suggest positive reinforcement use REMEMBER to Subscribe. I often; say to my spouse Remember your keys. Remember your sunglasses. Remember your wallet. And it works! You get the idea. Use it as a test run! Looking forward to next weekends’ video - Be Kind and Stay safe. Enjoy Life! Eat cake!
Thank you for that suggestion. I'm going to do that! 😁
Was the tool easy to maneuver/handle? I’m afraid if I bought one I wouldn’t be able to control it!🤣 Sophie made an appearance 💕
I had it fully extended which made it harder. May stank on a ladder next time so I don't have to extend quite so much.
Be very careful.
Good Luck at CT!
Thanks.
Well done 🎉❤
Thanks. 😊
well done!!
Thanks 😊
:) WELL DONE indeed! I have the same ladder, and don;t use it much, and had the same trimmer you bought, but lost to in-law :( At least you got in DONE, and I though of renting one at Home Depot instead of buying one. ALL the BEST and Cheers! :)
Thanks Marty.
Do you have a home depot near you? I am asking because they have rental tools you could utilise that option for one time projects 😊
Fiskars tools are great.
Agreed 😊
I haven't finished watching yet but could you have put the ladder on the lower roof section, climbed onto that part then up onto the higher section?
I didn't want to be walking on the roof if I could avoid it. 🤷🏻♀️😊
@@myBIGtinyhouselifeget yourself a pair of knee pads, climb ladder at low point of roof and crawl on roof, not likely to fall crawling! Yes the roof can support your weight. Yes that is how i walk on my rv roof, i crawl. 🍻
@SpykersB Problem is ladder isn't tall enough to get on the roof.
Make sure if they rotate your tires they tighten the lug nuts. I had CT do mine and I had a wheel almost fall off on the highway 😮 Go back in a week and have them recheck the nuts as recommended by a tire guy. I use Kal Tire shop not CT. They seem to be good and fairly priced.
Thanks for the reminder.
Kaltire now pretorques (I think that's the term they used) the tires, so one doesn't need to return to have them retorqued. I just had mine done at Kaltire a couple of days ago, but haven't had to get them retorqued for I think three seasonal swaps now.
👏👏👏👏👋

Just curious, what type of bread to you tend to buy at the store? Whole wheat, etc.?
🌞
Hi. I usually go for sourdough from a local company but the bread in the video is just regular whole wheat.
I usually do whole wheat as well, because sourdough is hard to find = but it is my fav.
Would opening your window and cutting from there work?
Unfortunately not.
Would have been cheaper to go to a store that you can rent equipment whether it's a ladder or a tree trimming device like you purchased it would have been cheaper probably would have been cheaper just to hire somebody to come out and trim any branches hanging over your roof or even asked the neighbor if they had a ladder Heck if I had been daring enough stood on the roof of my van but I always go to a store where I can rent equipment first cheaper and then I don't have to store the equipment I spent a lot of money on and only need once or twice a year
I suspect I'll have lots of use for that tool.
Some of us get satisfaction out of being self-sufficient and doing (or learning) things ourselves :-).
@@barbarab202 I said what I said it would have been cheaper to hire somebody to trim a few trees or asking a neighbor to borrow a ladder and trim them yourself. And it would have saved a lot of money because it was expensive to buy that trimmer which will not be used very often could have gone to a rental store and rented the piece of equipment for probably 20 bucks for a full 24 hours instead of now having to store the equipment in your tiny house. I didn't say anything about doing it or not doing it for yourself I gave suggestions that would have been a lot cheaper and easier. I have restored a two-family home and a mobile home by myself I understand about independence
How long have you been living in your beautiful tiny house?
it will be 5 years this year.
Place a towel under your cutting board so it doesn't slip around while using it.
Adelina, did you have an earthquake today? Wednesday, 4/17. I saw something on UA-cam a little bit ago. If you did, I hope everything is ok!!!
Hi! Nope, I felt nothing here. In fact until your message I didn't even know there had been one 🤷🏻♀️😊.
Apparently they are fairly common and there is no tsunami expected. According to the news "Earthquakes happen fairly regularly off the BC coast, thanks to the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate meeting the Pacific tectonic plates, and they are rarely large enough to be felt or noticed by humans."
So glad to hear you felt nothing.
I’ve only been in one earthquake (that I felt) and it was in WA State on 4/29/65 and it registered 6.5. I was young and it was very scary.
Glad you are fine!!
@debbyjo123 thanks for checking in 😊
Be careful
Always am 😊
Anything with a power cord will be more powerful. Battery powered...not so much
Why not hang out the window?
That wouldn't work unfortunately.
Adelina, I've been a subscriber for a long time now. I feel i always comment positively....
Could you answer a question for me? I ask it in the most respectful way...why do vegans cook with pretend meat? I mean isn't the point of veganism to avoid meat in their diet? So why do they need a 'visual' of meat-like or a texture that tries to mimic meat? Why the veggie sausages, tofu, egg substitute, etc.? I just don't understand this and have wondered this forever. Your explanation is greatly appreciated.
It's like vegans work so hard at replacing something they took away from themselves in the first place. The only scenario that would make sense is a vegan who wants meat but their body, immune system, or digestive system can't handle it.
Thank you kindly! 🌸
I'm happy to answer your question for myself, I can't speak for others. Since you asked sincerely I'll tell you exactly. Trigger warning.
I grew up eating meat and went vegan because of the animals. I learned of the horrible conditions they endure and could no longer allow my taste buds to be more important than another creatures life. So I find ways to replicate the foods and tastes from my past in a more humane way. Most vegans don't give up bacon because they don't like the taste. They do it because a pig is as smart as a 4 year old child and they suffer terribly in factory farm conditions. And even 'pastured' cows still end up at the same slaughter houses, terrified, getting a bolt through their brains so they can be immobilized, and hung upside down to have their throat slit and blood drained. Usually the bolt doesn't kill them so they die hanging there. Chickens, even 'free range' live in such horrible conditions that they are fed antibiotics with their feed to keep disease down. They are bred to grow so fast their little legs often can't hold them up. They live in squalor and die in terror. Once I did the research for myself I could no longer put that in my body.
I normally keep my thoughts to myself and let others make their own choices. However you asked me for my honest thoughts so there you go. I find easy ways to replicate foods without hurting anyone, including animals.
@myBIGtinyhouselife Thank you so much Adelina! 😀
