#9 Winter Has Arrived - Renovating My Homestead in Rural Sweden

[@GT--BTS]

Please keep uploading, even though it is winter! We love to see everything, not just the work you do on the house and property. Also you enjoying a coffee or watching through the window or making plans or cooking or tending to your pets. The simple things. Where/how do you do your grocery shopping?

[@swingandsweet]

Fantastic background music you have chosen!!

[@MaxMustermann-de5kf]

I really enjoy the peacefulness in your videos. Best greetings from Germany.

[@pepija]

You have a beautiful house!

[@Daniel-es9dq]

Your land looks very familiar but I’m not on the same continent. It’s amazing how much life is similar in different places. Thanks for sharing

[@Alex-c4n1w]

Love your Drone shots ❤

[@JohnGibson-hy9iv]

Great video, house is looking good, and love the countryside views. 🏡😊

[@PrimetimeCOD]

I know nothing about this type of work, so love to see it. Please do upload in the winter, would love to see what type of work you do inside aswell

[@RichardJJ93]

man this is crazy, you have nice skills in making/editing videos, your videos have so good climate and atmosphere. Feels like im watching a tvshow

[@timmymelin3082]

Very good vibes. Love from sweden

[@lukestoolbox]

wow congrats on the 10k David!! well deserved💪🏼🥳

[@neutonrenda2303]

It's amazing how different it looks with the Xmas lights on outside, it seems to add warmth to a very cold night.❤

[@helenversteeg4516]

Merry Christmas David!

[@Keinasaa]

Borher, get the cat or a few of them. They will deal with mice issue and become good friend for you. 😉 Great videos! Thank you for the updates. Bless you God!

[@Rebecca_SavedbyGrace]

beautiful Sweden ✨🤍🩵 love my country

[@cecilianagy3562]

You can put up cooking-baking or talking about your plans videos.

[@deckardstp]

Really enjoy the peacefulness of your videos. Coming from a small village of South-Germany myself I can understand why you enjoy this state of living so much. Have lots of good thoughts during the dark season and hope you get an purring companion very soon.

[@jacquelinesmedley7853]

How lovely to have deer in the garden x

[@vgrec1]

Your videos look so professional, one would say you have an entire crew working on footage!

[@Sunedosa]

The nature around your house is just unbelievable, amazing views.

[@ant1hill]

So happy you keep posting🙏

[@FlorianBrunold]

Unbedingt weiter Videos hochladen🤗 ich liebe all deinen Content😍 auch wenn es nur ein Update der Mausefallen oder wie du die Vögel fütterst ist😉🥰

[@neutonrenda2303]

Oh boy, I know what that experience is like, in the dark and feeling something moving in the bed with you. It was one of those things I definitely wouldn't want to experience again. A cat is definitely a great option, it is also entertaining, I get loads of laughter when I have a cat. 👍❤️

[@dimas.8300]

Mouse in the bed is crazy :D

[@ZoefontheMove]

After my roadtrip to the Arctic, I want to live there. And now with these videos, I want it even more! Awesome!

[@NormalsOverrated1987]

I have watched all 9 videos in a breath. I love your filmmaking, different frames, aerial shots, music, handy work, even cooking. This is something special and thank you for that, you are living my dream, and it is a good dream, It would be a shame if it went to waste.

[@gittanrudvall7697]

Please dont stop uploading ! Your videos is so peaceful and calming 👍🙂

[@elmeric7086]

Awesome

[@Savualpo]

I have seen that "mouse and rat glue board" traps are very effective. Ive tried them and just put some sunflower seeds in the middle of the board.

[@tbgelectr0]

Impressed with the work you are doing. It must be exhausting. A tree should never be closer to a house than its height(its not for it might fell over, its for the roots)

[@neutonrenda2303]

I've never used wallpaper before, you certainly achieved a really nice finish. It looks really good on the corner.👍

[@Tpsys-A]

I’m missing Uppsala so much ..your blog is reminiscence of my good memories

[@claesund]

Great, keep us updated!

[@carinaejag]

If the roads Tends to get muddy you should order gravel to spread out and that is helpful in the winter

[@Microsization]

That cutting board bugged me.. 😋 Make a few if you cut down a birch or something. Nicer and better for your health. Your videos are very nice and calming. Thanks.

[@Kwazulujabul]

Cold mice want to move indoors to be cozy during the winter. 🐭

[@neutonrenda2303]

In case you don't asd more content before Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful Xmas and New Year filled with happiness and laughter, family and friends. 🎉❤️

[@Maxშემიწყალე]

Why not get a cat to deal with the mice?

[@SwedenAdventure]

@@Maxშემიწყალე that’s the plan, i’m currently looking for one to adopt :)

[@vickiebasu1080]

My two cats have “presented” me with five mice in the past not quite two years I’ve lived here, and, no doubt, there are more that I don’t know about. In terms of cooking I’m a believer in innovating. I hope that the meal was good.

[@krisvalenti4141]

@@vickiebasu1080 When a cat "presents" a mouse it is said to be a sign of affection.

[@vickiebasu1080]

@@krisvalenti4141 How well I know that! They always wonder, I’m sure, why I carefully with gloved hands scoop up the “gift” and throw it in the dumpster.

[@AllensTrains]

It does look cold. Oh well, plenty of work to do in the house! Thanks for uploading.

[@allaboutperspective650]

It might look cold but it depends a lot on how dry it is, if you have high humidity in the air and wind it can feel colder with +5 than with low humidity and -10, besides the fact that you get used to the temperature where you live. So yeah -10 at the beginning of the winter can feel chilly but when you've had -20 to - 30 for some weeks and it gets warmer again to -10 that feels not cold at all.

[@AllensTrains]

@@allaboutperspective650 I am glad I do not live in Sweden! However, as a resident of England, the high price of gas and electricity means you have to be careful. I have been experimenting with having the boiler on continuously,, but set at a lower temperature versus having the boiler higher, but have it come on during pre-set times. In England, you can get -20 at night, but never by day. Usually when it is very cold in England, there are clear skies which means the house warms up as soon as the sun rises. I have found it is cheaper to have the boiler on timed rather than on all the time, Although the house does get very cold at night, you don't notice it. I think it might not be advisable to do this in Sweden!

[@allaboutperspective650]

@@AllensTrains I live in Jokkmokk just above the Arctic Circle the coldest I have had here was -42 I live on a hillside in town in the centre it's a bit lower thus colder they had -44. My heating comes from the district heating system and cost me in average 73 UK Pound, the electricity is a little bit less per month due to the fact that it's rather cheap here compared to further down south, our municipality produces 10.7 THw a year just from waterpower. Even when the temperature is low we don't have so much wind so that makes also a big difference.

[@AllensTrains]

@@allaboutperspective650 England does not have district heating. I don't use electricity for heating except for the microwave, washing machine and dishwasher! My energy usage is £74.85 of electricity and £111.17 of gas in November. The lowest temperature ever recorded in England is -26. The weathermen are predicting colder temperatures from next week, which means even colder still for you! Have fun.

[@allaboutperspective650]

Up North is pretty vague, when you ask people in the south of Skåne where Mora is they gladly say in the North of Sweden even though it's more than 200 south of the middle of Sweden. In the North many people consider everything south of Sundsvall the south of Sweden. I was born in Holland 30 km from Rotterdam but have lived 37 years in Simrishamn (South-East coast) and live now in Jokkmokk.

Hi, klasse Videos! Hier ein paar Tips, die ich dir als Zimmermann geben kann: Du willst nach außen hin diffusionsoffener sein, damit sich innen kein Schimmel bildet. Soll heißen: Dämmung immer von außen an die Wand montieren. Die Fenster Leibung willst du nach außen hin abfallen lasse, damit das Wasser nicht stehen kann und dir das Holz vergammelt. Am äußeren Ende machst du dann noch eine Abtropfkante hin. (Am besten googlen wenn du das nicht kennst) Bau dir 2 Böcke für die Kappsäge, macht dir das leben leichter :D Probier mal mit dem Spachtel den Gips direkt in die Löcher zudrücken, ist meistens schöner und schneller. Und Räum die Bilder weg beim Schleifen. ^^ Wegen den Mäusen, guck mal ob die Stellbretter zwischen den Sparren (Traufseitig) richtig anliegen. vielleicht kommen die Mäuse von dort. Der PU Schaum wird nichts bringen, da nagen die sich in Windeseile durch. Ach ja, wir sägen nicht mit Handschuhen, vorallem keine Schnittfesten. Da zerfetzts dir die Hand, wenn du damit ins Blatt kommst, weil sie zum Blatt gezogen wird. Barhändig sägt man nur ein bisschen rein und zuckt zurück. Zu guter letzt: man zieht in der Küche das Schnittgut mit der Rückseite des Messers über das Brett, sonnst wird die Klinge stumpf. Danke für die Videos, die beruhigen mich :)

[@iamjesper]

Love your videos

[@jeannettehoek]

Hope to c you soon! Inside or out❤

[@danielsalt363]

Get two cats while youre at it :)

[@raskolnikov9067]

Do not store firewood against the wall and clear away the trees and bushes closest to the house if you want to avoid mice.

[@patxilebrancon5393]

Years ago I used ultrasonic mouse repellent (an electronic device) and it worked pretty well. Might you give it a try remember that you musn´t combine these devices with conventional mousetraps. The main goal is to make them go away. The food used in the mousetraps makes just the opposite

[@krisvalenti4141]

[@kevinpruszynski3681]

I think that you're onto something here and that you might miss out if you stop uploading during winter. Your channel is growing, use that momentum.

[@arankin2914]

the mouse in my attic, uses the tree to climb to the roof, and also the drain pipe, I saw his foot prints in the snow... I wonder why people don't just build little houses for them outdoors, a few for birds and one or two for mice. Give them some shelter during the winter.

[@Rantsack]

🥰❤

[@sometimesthereisnocoloraro108]

As I said in other comments... PLS make the videos longer.. even hour.,.. I watch your full channel in 1 sitting... I want to see how you connected electricity, if the well which I saw is working, what toilet do you have, how thick are the walls, what are your plans with the small pond which you have, how big of the property it is, how are the communities in Sweden.. are there any rules? Can you make a fence? Can you cut trees around? What was the budget for the kitchen? how did you moved the electrical sockets? .... How are you connected to the grid? how is the canalisation and electricity when so remote? I think you mentioned, that it is a summer house... can you legally live there?

[@Eleanor-de-Bohun]

Fill the holes around the pipes with staalwol (Stahlwolle) when it's cold mouse comes in your house. Staalwol they don't like that because it hurt there noise. A cat is not always a solution

[@Sheytopia]

Ich würde den Teich komplett ausheben und da später Koi drin halten und statt dem Schotterweg eine Holzbrücke für die Autos installieren. Das sähe bestimmt toll aus, aber ist auch viel Arbeit.
