  1. Nice video. I'm sure Cindy you are not just an inspiration for those of us in our 60s but to anyone no matter how young or old who has dreams and wants to act on them.
    Great work in the blue door and table but I'm more of a yellow and orange person myself.

  2. Hi Cindy, I'm hopefully retiring next summer. So I might just take you up on volunteering. I have a wee van the same as your van that's been converted to a micro camper so I can live in my van.

    I am willing to try anything. Gardening, building work, making glass bricks, feeding pigs, painting or laying tiles. Anything I can do to help!!!!

    Your grandson is so adorable. XxKathleen from Greenock Scotland.

  3. Just an idea; when you are ready to "point" the wall, try using a large pastry bag and a big tip–apply the mortar just like frosting! I've seen it done on other channels with success.

  4. Cara signora, sto segundo da tanto tempo, la sua strada di ricostruire, complimenti. Vorrei dare qualche consigli, (sono architetto): dovresti fare un programma e seguire di realize, perche vedo che stai lavorando su tante cose insieme. Seconde me, sugerisco che dovrebbe finire I muri, montare le finestre della cucina. Se vi serve qualche consiglio sarei disposta. Buon lavoro, coragiosa signora

  5. Such big beautiful eyes those of your grandson. And what a lovely smile.
    You are making a lot of progress with the renovation of your property and the kitchen table looks amazing. Love Filipa.

  6. Cindy, My mother took a trip to Sweden in the 70’s, came home and painted everything that blue! We had blue stools, an old desk, patio table and a bench. She is long gone but the stool stands tall and blue in my kitchen today. Yes, yes, extend the the desk top. I feel like every week it’s Resident Artist Home Tour here. Thanks for the joy. You are inspiring.

  7. Hi Cindy! Love the kitchen! That blue side table came out stunning! Think its a great idea to put another "shelve" behind it to close the gap to the wall! (you ould put spice glasses and other items like some condiments or flour in a glass there for fast easy access. Oh man that bathroom wall is so thick!!! Why though? Couldnt you make it a bit thinner going up? just wondering uz that takes a lot of material to get it this thick. Its like a castle wall 🙂 God bless

  8. Thanks for your vid Cindy 😇💟💟💟 Love you, very good music,i though you would cement this whole from the s well and cement this pipe to so it has some sturdy ness, you are making art.

  9. Everything looks wonderful.. Great job ❤ Just my 2 Chatsworth.. I love the open look at the sides of the Windows. Maybe you can find a couple long verticle ones for there.. Or even rows of squares

  10. You got a lot done as usual. Such a good idea to do a variety of things. If you do too much heavy lifting at once or do a lot of repetitive tasks you can get injured. I should know since I am a not too young female myself. Plus, your content has been interesting. You may get more volunteers if you had a small caravan since many dislike tents. It will be a while before your guest room is done. Bummer you don't have fencing around your oak trees yet since it would save time on acorn picking.

  11. To the best of my recollection, this is the first time you film yourself working HARD. Well done. You should do more of this, demonstrating just how hard you work. You impressed the hell out of me !!!!

  12. Wow! You've gotten a lot done! Love it and your idea to build a shelf to span the gap behind your worktop extension… any thoughts to raising the newly painted table to be the same height as the existing worktop? I adore the bottle cord wood wall too. 👍

  13. Hello Cindy -good job!!! Please in a next video can you explain the way of construction of your septic tank from the start to the end??? I sow in a previous video something about the construction but not till the end.What happens to the dirt,the liquid and especially the poo???Thank you..Have a nic continue…

  14. Kitchen looking soo cute and compfy. Love the colour. Maybe…carry on the border with those square pretty small tiles it'll tie it all together. I.e. if you have enough. I just love your vlogs and I must say you are one dynamic woman. Take care & stay in good health…greetings from a Capetonian living in Spain🌺🌺🌺🥰
