From Morocco, its very nice best wishes ❤❤
Lovely! What do you like best about your yurt vs others you have seen?
Round wood chestnut poles are great. Really strong but flexible in the wind. Oak crown is really good and the way the roof attaches to the wall stops wind getting in underneath.
It looks great! I'm a very symmetrical person though so I would have tried to make the fronts match on both sides. I would have had a tall window in each section, a square one with the lines in each section with one of the mid sized ones you have on the side and I like the 3 slotted windows you did so I would do those in from both sides and fill from there. I think I would have needed more wood pieces between the windows though to fill in. But it works and it was cheap so even better :)
I am not a symmetry lover 😂 love a bit of chaos

Not sure what this comment means. Been a while since this vid went out
Are the girls home schooled?
They are. Been home schooling for 8 years
Cool video! Can’t wait to see the finished go cart!
It’s done :)
How Did Learn all these things and got all the skills i realy wana Be Like you ❤
I just learn as I go. A lot of mistakes but always getting better. First job that brought on my skills a lot was building my camper van
@@OffGridBruce thank you so much
No worries. If you could see what I was capable of in the beginning you would think I was a different person. It helps to just have a go and not worry about things being perfect. I always learn something new
You are doing a great service to wildlife and the environment. There are too many huge areas of conifers just grown for timber, and pretty useless for wildlife. Please keep doing what you are doing and spreading the message.
Thanks. Very true regards the spruce
Nice song. Great progress and ideas. Enjoying your channel a lot.
Thanks very much
Brother i hope you get to see this. Is there anyway this can be gotten here in the UK i desperately need help
Hey I don’t know of anywhere in the uk doing iboga. Wonder if you would have some joy on Facebook groups or forums?
New viewer but we have been binging to catch up. Love all your pets and saw the new kitten. Leads me to ask about the second pair of kittens…haven’t seen them with girls lately. Hope they are okay. Enjoying your vlogs
Hey. The cats are thriving. We have 3 now as we found a stray kitten in town
What a stunning finish Bruce - of COURSE you're proud of yourself! It's looking incredible. xxx
Thanks Sophie :)
use styrofoam for a toilet seating or you'll both freeze your masses ♥
It doesn’t get that cold here :)
hello from the 9-5 city nightmare. you're living my dream if that makes 'sense'. well i'd get a second, & bigger dog ♥ God bless.
Got 2 big dogs added to the pack now :)
Rooms look great and loved your swing for the kids cool
Thanks ☺️
They look lovely, you must be pleased. Thanks for the video :)
Well chuffed with how they turned out
Gorgeous work, lovely cabinets. Beautiful skirting.
Thanks ☺️
Oh gosh Bruce the cupboards look so beautiful, the colour and wood finishes are so tasteful. You have created such a beautiful living space for your girls. You are a very talented man.❤❤
Thanks ☺️ I’m well chuffed with how they came out
The best video ever. Your brother is really cute.😊
He’s great 😊
Bruce I loved listening to your flute. My son played the flute all through school and it was wonderful. You believe in how creative you are in many areas of your life. Music is about taking your listeners with you and you are a natural. That's why your homestead journey is so good too. Don't shy away from your natural abilities and don't compare yourself to other musicians because just be you and that's amazing in itself. Keep playing.❤❤
Thanks 🙏 I am enjoying the journey
Tom is so adorable and knowledgeable about apples 🍎 Plus I love the green.❤
He’s an absolute encyclopaedia of knowledge
Oh mate you are such good value and you make me chuckle sometimes 😄 I think Dug the dog was mortified at wearing the beany (means wooly hat in Australian 😊. The floors look beautiful.👍👍
Thanks. He didn’t look too pleased did he 😂
You should be very proud of the work you are doing Bruce that storage space you built looks very expensive and very well done 👍 you are living my dream hopefully some day I will get to buy my own land keep up the fantastic work 👍
Thanks. I’m pleased with how they turned out. Fair bit of work but worth it in the end
looks fabulous! great work.
Thanks ☺️
Great job
Thank you ☺️
Acabo de encontrar su canal y es fabuloso me encanta todo gracias por compartir tantas cosas 👍💓👏👏👏
Thanks very much 🙏
That's such a great idea Bruce well done 👏
Thanks 👍 :)
Fab, need to do mine, did you come across any asbestos slates/tiles, mine were replaced in the 60's so probably fit into this category, thanks
There probably were some asbestos tiles. I never confirmed it though
Good to know, thanks
Nice job. A little solar powered fan would help speed the drying process up too
I I’ve left the eaves and soffits open so hoping that’s enough
Great job!!
Thank you! 🤩
Absolutely stunning 😍
Thank you!! 😊
Great job Bruce and top idea. Remember to leave enough ventilation once the doors are on if drying wood in there. Could get a few house plants in there too I reckon 😏
Leaving the gable tops open and soffits open for ventilation:)
Another great project!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for showing Cork. I want to go and live there 😅
Cork is lovely
Such a creative use of all those windows. Excellent job. Bob is a great helper 😄
Thanks 🙏
Fantastic job, we have gotten some second windows and have another project lined for a little sun room, wont be till next spring tho. And you picked a great spot, Clare lived nearby and used to work in that restaurant. Fantastic beach right there also ;) Miss your frequent videos You were the OG in this space and I think we need you back for balance ;)
I do intend on making more regular vids I’m just finding it hard to get my vid making mojo back. I have some beautiful hardwood windows for our lean to green house for the south side of the house. That’s probably next year though I reckon
At this rate I'll have to start a YT channel entitled "ideas I've nicked from Bruce" 😂
Haha! Do it
:)
Looks great! One more job done! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks carol
Another amazing project completed - and May I say you have some very lovely ladies to help you. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
I’m very blessed
So Cool!!! Great job.
Thanks!!☺️
Your fence tensioner is also a ninja level duck wrangler...😁
She’s the mum :) they seem to have bonded with her so they follow her everywhere
Nice job encasing the shed to keeping everything dry in there , love the baby ducks ! So cute 😊
Thanks April:)
Bruce you do a great job each time you share a video, wish i had some of your skills. Grandad was right it is better to be lucky
He’s a very wise man
Hi Bruce, nice job on the windows. It might be an idea to put some bright stickers on the full length glass to show it's there, or a couple of battens across them.
Is that to stop birds flying into it?
@@OffGridBruceAnd people.
Nice one Bruce 👍
Thanks 👍
Lovely old job off grid.must have been a pane getting all that glass to fit.🤗
😂 it was
Amazing what can be done ✅ the result shows that you are clever :) all the best
Thank you very much!
Dude you make it look so easy. Well done.
Thanks 🤩
