    You made a wise choice to get someone to help you with the garden. At least you know they will come on nice days for working outside.

    Phil, no one should leave nasty comments. That's truly abysmal. Take care of yourself, and don't let the nutters get to you.

    Single, older gal.. Now 70. Several years ago, my truck had a problem about 9 miles from home. I lived at the bottom of a forestry mountain pass and was broken down at the last,very small, town. No bus. No taxi. Nothing. And after dark. Could have called friends. But didn’t want to disturb during family dinner time. Called police who informed me they were not a taxi service. So, what to do? Pizza place. Still open. And I knew they did deliveries up the mountain. Told them the situation. I’ll order the pizza for delivery if you take me with you. He did and was great! Gave hm a nice tip. So grateful. Learning to live outside of city conveniences. Priceless life skills!

      We moved from the Metroplex two and a half years ago, out to 12 acres that is 17 miles from an actual town. Thank the Lord for family and cell phones! It is a learning curve for sure, lots of ingenuity needed.

      You are a trooper. Glad you did not wonder home on your own, for 9 miles in the dark! Next time call friends even in the middle of diner! They can leave their diner to bring you home safely! They would not forgive themself should something happen to you!

You think we're watching for the chateau but we're actually here for you; your generous soul, your warm smile, your capable hands, your humility, your introspection, your many talents, your can-do attitude, your willingness to try, your love of beauty, and all of your projects and adventures. We're glad to know of you and pray for your success and well-being. God bless you, Phil!

    @jeannefoguth2339 Před měsícem +50

    I 100% agree with having someone come in to assist and you getting projects done while they are around... Decades ago, we made a 'house rule' that my husband isn't allowed to climb ladders and/or use the chainsaw without someone around... this was made after he did do that and ended up at the hospital.

    Getting help with gardening is a great solution!! A friend once tokd me " Do the stuff you are good at and pay someone to do the other stuff". Those of us that live alone sometimes try to do everything ourselves.... It is not always best! It can feel like non stop working... Whereas havung a littke help, can free us up to actually enjoy life now and then 😁

    Getting some help in the garden again is a good idea. You used to have someone to work in the garden a couple of years ago. It will be good company as well as getting stuff done quicker. The rethink is a wise move. 😀

    I live with someone who wouldn't know if I was trapped under a car for at least 3 hours because it means coming out of the house and checking on me. Glad your getting some help as no matter how much we try to do it ourselves we sometimes just need another's help.

  • @margielynch7196

  • @lovelyday1965
    @lovelyday1965 Před měsícem +33

    You should film it anyway, just edit it down and overlay some appropriate music. It's kinda asmr. I'm virtually alone, also. I locked myself in the chicken run on a 10° F. morning and couldn't get out. Nobody to help, I finally got down on my back and kicked the run door apart. There was no way that they didn't hear me yelling in this valley, but nobody came. I was whistling so loud it would burst an eardrum. Stay safe and keep on keepin' on.

  • @suechapman8580
    @suechapman8580 Před měsícem +10

    Your safety and wellbeing is paramount. I felt the same when i lost my husband many years ago. No one would know if i didnt get home from work. I sort of never wanted to rely on anyone until they're not there and suddenly you feel a bit vulnerable. Video's are great whenever they appear. Take care. X❤😊

    @sillashaw Před měsícem +7

    Sorry to hear you had a miss adventure last night. It sounds like you’ve a real skill at presevering when things get tough. It’s wisdom to know, to have someone around when doing dangerous activities. You seem like an extremely personable person. It might be also wise to acquire someone to call and check in on you. Someone, who will be happy to help even late at night in times of trouble. Your friends really do want to help, and probably wouldn’t find it as bothersome as you think.

  • @jenniferstewart2235

    Part time gardner is a great idea. Also, consider keeping spares in all vehicles at all times. !!

  • @SweetOne.
    @SweetOne. Před měsícem +17

    Great Choice! I also used to have clean up parties when I lived alone. Myself and 3 friends would clean and do yard work at all our homes over a weekend or two. It is so much easier and faster when we have help - some jobs require more than one person and that is just a fact. Someone should be "holding the ladder".

  • @catherinekilgour2563
    @catherinekilgour2563 Před měsícem +3

    My husband used to drive a forklift at work. The company he worked for had a rule there always had to be two staff members on site. I like that this is a rule you have decided on before any injuries occurred and because you see the good sense in implementing it.
    It also makes me happy that you felt safe walking 10km home in the middle of the night and that again it was a personal choice because you knew if you rang your friends they would come and help you. I hope my children (and their friends) know that I would always come and help them if they ask. I never want them to drive when they shouldn't because they don't feel like they have options.

  • @suemccoy7533
    @suemccoy7533 Před měsícem +6

    Phil, I can not understand why anyone would leave nasty comments about you! What the heck is wrong with people that do that?
    I agree that things like working with chain saws and wood chippers could be dangerous, no matter how careful you are.
    Good idea to have someone on the property during those times, just in case. Look forward to you're coming back as soon as you are able, love your channels!

  • @Elloamcool

  • @jimnmom
    @jimnmom Před měsícem +7

    If I could do so , on the broken casing on the chipper I’d try some JB weld before I went to a to a lot of trouble , I’ve used it on many high pressure projects like engine blocks and well pump tanks etc, most if the time it’s a permanent fix.

    Yes, get a gardener to help or get a landscraper to always do the yard. This way, you can do other things, or you will burn out.

  • @camilamhf
    @camilamhf Před měsícem +8

    You CAN do many things by yourself, but it doesn't mean you HAVE to do it! It's wise to hire help on simpler tasks so you can dedicate your time to the ones only you can do. I would also suggest you try to find a professional organizer in your area to help you go through all those leftover belongings. It would make the process less painful and quicker!

  • @teamum7729
    @teamum7729 Před měsícem

    Your decision to tackle the potentially dangerous tasks when there is another person on site is smart. I have lived in rural areas and been the safety net for others doing tricky work as they have been for me. It’s just the rural way of life.

  • @Wren9
    @Wren9 Před měsícem +6

    Love the music Phil. Thank you for sharing. Pity about the wood chipper. You’ve got the right plan to do something outside while the sun shines. Maybe you can pick up a wood chipper at a machine auction 🤷‍♂️ it’s all shaping up Phil and with help it will give you time to do indoor projects if you like. Enjoy your days Phil, we’re all here for you ✔️💯🏃‍♀️‍➡️

    @roseharvey2664 Před měsícem +3

    Good point about soing soomme of the more dangerous jobs, having someone someone around is a good idea. I guess there are a lot of changes that come with the end of a relationship, but it takes a while to adjust and even to see things that just haven't really been an issue before.

    Phil, I do know what it is like...one person moving/doing things takes a whole lot longer for everything..."it ain't for sissies" but it is satisfying,
    eventually, if you live...Getting help is wonderful. Get it if you can. I love your videos and send continued warm wishes for success. Bit by bit
    your momentum continues...Don't give up. There is always something you can do, no matter how small, then the next day seems to send
    some extra funds that enables the purchase of a needed mower or bark eater...Rewards seem to come out of nowhere...Best regards....

    Its a brilliant idea to get help so that you have someone around when up ladders, using a chain saw and other risky safety related jobs. Its a shame other Chateau owners don't consider not only their own health & safety, but also that of their workers/helpers.
    Well done Phil. Look forward to your next video.
