Steve – do you mean herpes labialis? 90% of people carry this virus. he breaks out in stressful situations, the sun is also stressful for the skin, some tablets such as antibiotics are solvents. I had this outbreak every 3 months, but since I changed my diet and avoided any stress, it's hiding again…..

Why not a few skylights in the roof instead of knocking holes in the granite walls to make space for windows? Wouldn't that be easier? Less stress?

Well done on the food processing. Good luck with September's tasks!

A lot of tasks on the list for September! Great things to look forward to, lotsa dopamine too 🤣

Thanks

Yes I liked this wrap up.

Hopefully Kirsty the Weather will be on your side and you will reach your goal. We'll done for all you have achieved 💚

Take the grinder apart and clean it out. The internals are very simple. Maybe not in your wheelhouse but nothing to fear. You're very capable ;o)

I think you made great progress despite the crazy heat. 👍

I keep trying to leave a recipe for turmeric tonic to get rid of Steve but not sure where it goes, ugh.

You really do need to take some lysine, at least, when you start to get the Steve lip tingle. Rubbing isopropyl alcohol on the lip four or five times per day when you first start feeling it can help keep it from developing…. or developing so badly. Anyway, anxious to see the work on the September list. Will you need to put in a short piece of conduit in the gas line hole to keep it stable? I am just wondering if the stone rubble on the interior of the wall could shift and perforate the gas line, but it's not something I really know anything about.. Still crazy hot here as well and I have so much catching up to do on the summer work. I'm rooting for you!

I just recently came across a couple vids about Greasing power tools.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I never knew we could and should add grease to power tools 😳 there is a large shallow bowl in angle grinder you can fill with grease 🧐 yaaaaay ❣️❣️❣️

Fall garden updates? So glad the oppressive heat is lifting!

Great work. Water tank is coming along. I know what you mean about balancing work and leisure, I want to walk in nature more too. Looking forward to tomorrow’s video. Have a lovely weekend. Lisa

You fit your front door floor!

How about building a little cob storage area that will allow you some of the stuff in there away from your eyes, and give you a little bit more free space to move around?
Take care.

Link to Steve explanation? 🤔🤢

Love your videos, I enjoy seeing all the projects you are working on. As a keen gardener and preserver I find your garden tours and cooking informative and interesting. I am in south west Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 so our climate is very similar. We are just entering spring so the hard work in the garden is just beginning. My block of land is 1200sq metres, most is filled with house, garage and shed The rest is gardens and I have 22 fruit and nut trees. Keep up the great work.

Thanks

I agree with your parents – it's gloomy without windows. It would be interesting to watch how you get one installed. Crack on and stay cool.

Thanks!

You are doing a good job as you did get most of your projrcts done for the month which is excellent as the weather has been against you. A window would be lovely for you as living in a cave would be disconcerting you are a trojan for doing it for so long but to be able to have some light coming would be a benefit hope you get it finished. Keep going you are doing well.
