    Wow, your brothers van is fabulous. I have spent two days moving plants , and cutting things back. Carrying heavy bags of compost from here to there, getting things ready for Autumn/ Winter. I wish I could speed myself up like you do in your gardening videos, then it wouldn't have taken me two days !! i hope you enjoy the time with your visitor. take care.

    I long ago eliminated my lawn to create a cottage garden. It always seemed a waste of time to fertilize & water a lawn to make it grow, then have to mow it. I like flowers better. But when I did have a lawn I had a mower with a cord like yours. I ran over it a couple of times at first until I got the system just right. For a detail oriented German guy like you, I'm sure you have the method worked out perfectly. Keep your trusty corded mower. Never mind the battery powered frippery. Bathroom is getting there. Your brothers van looks great. Enjoy visiting with your guest.

    As it happens, I saw your first video the day it came out and started subscribing. Over this past year and some, I've watched your means of communicating with your family turn into a very sizable channel. I don't know if any other channel has grown quite so quickly. I imagine CZcams is suddenly far more relevant to your life than you expected it to become. So, how do you like it? Are you getting recognized in public? Very impressive how quickly you have grown, particularly considering you did not buy a tank or something solely to game the algorithm.

  • @SuzanneU

    Creativity and clever hands run in your family! That sink shower is the best idea I've seen for a van. The kitchen is well-planned too.
    You're doing well with the bathroom. I rather like the seams of the drywall. I'd be tempted not to speckle them.

    England is densely populated too, but the sound of petrol lawnmowers is part of the summer, like warm days, birdsong and flowers. I suppose we are just used to it :)

    • @helend222

      Yes. In Australia we enjoy the sound of lawnmowers. Dads mowing the lawn on weekends.

    • @Ringelsocke.
      @Ringelsocke. Před 2 lety

      As a kid I also enjoyed the sound (on Saturdays).
      But nowadays lawnmowers sound different. And it doesn't stop there. Hedge trimmer, scarifier, edge trimmer, Kärcher and for sure Leaf blower .... powerful and noisy.
      In general lots of noises join us in our day, especially in big cities. So *one day* of quietness is a relief and a treat.

The bathroom is really coming along! PS: I don’t know if it would help, but I always rake leaves onto a tarp, which I can then drag to wherever I plan to dump them. This works really well.
