Day 32: Our Final Day Working On The Land

After 32 days of clearing the land by hand on our one acre homestead in Ireland, this video "The Final Day: Our 14 Day Homestead Clearance Comes To An End" explains why the time has come to reduce our videos from seven days a week to three days a week: Monday, Wednesday & Friday.
On the homestead today, we prepare the area between the 200 year old dry stone wall and the conker tree ready to begin making the "dead hedge". We have spoken about the "dead hedge" for quite a while now so the time has come to make a start. The "dead hedge" will be made up of willow tree, apple tree and plum tree as well as some freshly cut blackcurrents. We also dig up and expose the old mystery farm machine from day 27, can you help us again? Lastly we take a walk around the one acre homestead to show what we have been doing for 32 days.
Being beginners to homesteading, we really are the perfect "Homestead for beginners" example. We are doing things they way we think they should be done and learning along the way with your help and with the help of others on KZbin. Land drainage, tree felling, fruit trees etc and so on. But what an adventure we are on.
The 100 year old derelict farmhouse renovation also continues and we will be filming both as we work through 2024. There is so much more to be done and that is before the introduction of growing our own food for sustainable living to having animals on our homestead in Ireland.
There is something for everyone, if you subscribed for the renovations or for the homestead, we will bring the smiles, you sit back and relax and let us do the work.... well, Dawn will do the work.

Please let us know in the comments what you think about us doing three videos a week. Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

[@charmainestewartctmstewart3398]

I have enjoyed the daily videos, but I would not have coped with that non stop schedule. Three videos a week should be sufficient. You have done a stellar mob. Will done!

[@Shae_9876]

I will miss the daily's however understand they take time to put together which is time you have to take away from other things that you need to do and life in general.

[@kategreen-adarkcarnival6747]

A video a day is too much to manage long term - totally understand. 3 days a week is great. Many thanks for your commitment! Kx

[@GraceSmith-e3o]

3 days will be great, excited to watch the progress, will miss the dailies but understand.

[@walkingstickwoman]

It seems fine to me

[@Britbabe53]

Still binge watching here and I have to say, I get every bit as much enjoyment watching you as ever I have had watching the Pethericks and Dan. Bravo on all you do for your channel!

[@sharonheron7559]

Daily videos are a big commitment. We will just be happy when you post 😊 well done on doing a whole month’s worth of a project. 🎉

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Sharon and than you for joining us each day :-) It wasn't supposed to be a month hahahaha. See you Friday :-)

[@johnoneill5812]

Hi guys. Daily videos are a bit too much, you need to live a bit after all. Quality over quantity is better with most things in life. Looking foward to upcoming projects.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you John. They are very time consuming and having 3 days of us time, plus a door frame and carpet, was lovely. The content will keep coming though, I think we have years of work to go. Thank you for being with us for such a long time :-)

[@ldianehigley3287]

Actually the L stands for Linda. My mother couldn't find a middle name that went with Diane. I have many scary stories about chain saws and my husband, but will refrain from sharing them with you. Also, I am a bit jealous of all the lovely leaf mold you have lining your ditch. I would be down there digging it up and transporting it to a future garden, and flower beds. I look forward to all the amazing things you have planned--God Bless you both!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Diane it is. So firstly, thank you so much for being our latest channel member Diane. Yes, the chainsaw will be treated with extreme care. It is safest in the box it came in hahaha. Digging the ditch will be a huge can of worms to open at the moment. There will certainly be lots of good flower bed material in there though. Thank you, and thank you again :-) Hope you have a nice day ahead.

[@FrinkyBaby]

Thank you for the daily videos! I can only imagine how much work that was. I think doing the daily videos really helped us viewers get a better idea of your delightful personalities. 😊 A three day per week schedule is lovely-honestly, whatever works best for you!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww that is lovely Barbara, thank you. We certainly became more comfortable with the cameras being around which meant we were ourselves. It is time consuming rather than hard but we have enjoyed all of it. Although the house and land is an adventure, so it having our own growing KZbin channel. It is all a learning curve. Thank you for watching and commenting :-)

[@alanelder3259]

Incredible clearance - looks a lot more like a garden now. You both did a huge amount of work - really well done ! Videos three times a week a lot more manageable for you - so good idea and I may be able to catch up on your content !!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you! It took a while but we eventually got there! Completely worth all the effort though when we look at it now! Yeah 3 a week is a lot more manageable than 7! 🤣 it was quite manic trying to fit it all in to say the least. 🫣

[@evelyngorfram9306]

The MWF video schedule sounds like a good balance between up-to-the-minute vlogging and the need to be a human being living a human life. What you have done on the land is astounding, & I can hardly wait to see the trees rewarding you with even more astounding flowers and fruit. See you Friday!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

The MWF schedule - I love it Evelyn :-) We think it will be a good balance too. Maybe we can slip in a fourth now and then as a bonus. We can't wait for the trees to start to become green. We just need to move the logs and branches and then we can begin to mow everywhere to try and promote grass growth and slowly kill off the brambles and ivy. We will indeed, see you Friday. Thank you Evelyn :-)

[@ericwynne1560]

Guys you are doing a great job…on the video front one a week is sufficient,edit the content of the work down…and allow more time to yourselves!👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Eric Thanks for watching and commenting. We have really made a difference. Three videos a week is going well, we do look forward to the weekend though as we have a bit of a breather. Thanks again. Have a nice Sunday :-)

[@TheHavasu_77]

Don’t ever apologize for more or less videos, just do what makes you happy! Don’t get burnt out on the daily grind. You both did absolutely AMAZING on clearing your land, and I’m here for all of it! I’m excited to see more progress on the house as well! Love you guys! 😊💚

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Oh there is sooooo much to do on the house, but being outside is just so nice. The house stuff will continue but where the weather is not really suitable for having the windows and doors wide open to let the dust out. we are waiting for the brighter weather. There is stuff we can do though so keep watching as you never know when we will step inside :-) As always, thank you for always watching and always commenting :-) Have a nice evening :-)

[@neutonrenda2303]

You guys did an amazing job, it makes such a difference. You stuck with it, even when it doubled in time. The reward will now be watching everything come back to being a garden again.❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks Neuton. I was going to do the drone footage from last May 2023 but it is all green and although overgrown looks lovely. When compared to the drone shots from last week, it looks barren, so it will have to wait to do a fair comparison. We can't wait for the Willow to start and leaf. Thank you again.

[@mnamber]

I’m so happy for you two ❤. Your place is becoming more and more beautiful every single day and we’re all here for it! This series was so special, thank you for bringing us along 🥰✌️

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much for this. We are really really pleased with it all. Some larger bits to finish, the just behind the outbuilding, but once that is done, we can move on the things like land drainage. With that said, the drainage around the house needs doing too. Thank you for being part of our adventure :-)

[@neutonrenda2303]

It looks as if the death of that machine was the beginning of the end of clearing the land. The fact that it was just left there is a bit of a hint.👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahahaha, you could have a point. We do know though that the farmer had a tractor too. So that may have been the farmers old machine. We will have to ask the daughters who come to visit us. They will know. Thanks Neuton :-)

[@neutonrenda2303]

I totally agree with your reasoning, put videos out when you have footage to share. Even though the garden project was so successful, it gives you less time to get what you need to do done. Anything that you do share is appreciated, but you also need to enjoy it. Love your content as always.❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks as always. We have loads to do, Dawn wants to do it all..... today, but three days a week will give us breathing space. In the future we may do more, but we will start with three scheduled ones for now. Have a nice evening :-)

[@DianaHughes-m4u]

love watchin ur days addin up ,u both wrk so hard xx

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Lots of days lol :-)

[@jaymurtagh]

Well done Dawn and Ben , so much work done . It will be amazing in the next few months when all in bloom. Glad you liked the fungery 😉😂. Love the videos. Well done on the daily series. Lioking forward to the Monday, Wednesday, and Friday videos.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Dawn is good at remembering Jay, I am pleased I remembered the word fungery, there is no chance of remembering who said it lol. Thank you very much. I am sure we will be able to get something for everyone in the week day videos. See you Friday. And thank you very much for always joining us and commenting :-)

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

My husband said that is part of a mowing machine, and maybe horse drawn because of the gears. The sickle bar is gone, and it moved with the wheels. The pitman stick is not there. You might look up Deering mowing machine. He is from a line of farmers here in the US and some of the equipment he was around growing up was really old. He immediately knew it was a mowing machine; he is guessing if horse drawn or not. Hope this helps.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Bobbie, well his information ties in with Denis Peel, further down in the comments. Now we "think" we still have the sickle, it was in an outbuilding last year, but because of it's huge teeth, it may have gone too. We will try and find it the next time we go through all of Dawn's "Treasures". We are hoping we can find a photo of that model, just because it will be nice more than any other reason, to know exactly how it was. We are guessing horse drawn too, but in all honesty, what do we know about all this stuff? We are loving find it all. Thank you as always Bobbie :-)

[@Ragnar8504]

At any rate it was made by IH (International Harvester), formed in a merger of Deering, McCormick and a few others in 1902. The mix of IH and Deering logos seems to suggest a build date soon after that merger.

[@bwitched3810]

Dawn& Ben amazing month guys. I enjoyed every single day of it even though I knew it must’ve been killing your bodies. You had to have been worn out whenever you post is fine with me because every post that you do is such fun and so enjoyable to watch because you’re both real, anyways, I’m gonna send you a big hug and thank you so much for taking us on your adventure. Love from California.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very very much Sandy, that means so much. Have a lovely evening :-)

[@morrigans_cottage]

Love watching each day in a row on this vid :) you do need to take time to yourselves and not over stretch and burn out! Fantastic to see the land looking so good!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Aisling, 8 months in and still going. Going to three a week will help us relax again though. But nothing saying we won't do some bursts of each day again in the future. Hope everything is going well with you. We loved the frogs as we don't seem to have any :-(

[@morrigans_cottage]

@@thecornerhouseproject I think 3 a week is much more manageable and gives you a bit of breathing room and time away from cameras and screens!! I was down at the cottage this weekend and the frogs are now gone! They left as quick as they came! There is frog spawn so hopefully a few babies will be born

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Aww wow that’s nuts that they left that quickly! But fingers crossed for lots of babies! Yeah I think you’re right, 3 a week is going to be so much easier to manage especially after doing 7 a week! Lol

[@peterdowden7694]

You looked so much younger back then ❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

It is amazing what 6 days can do to age you Peter hahaha.

[@theleahblack]

I'm just grateful for any updates. You do what makes your lives enjoyable.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Leah, that is a nice thing to say and a nice way to look at it. Hope you are ok and thank you for watching and commenting today :-)

[@annagilda1]

Daily videos are a huge commitment. Dont burn yourselves out. 3 times a week is wonderful. Most big youtubers only post once a week. You need to have some balance in your life too.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Yes, they do only do one a week don't they. We wanted to share each day as it happened and are really pleased we did. The comments being so current was really nice. Before this, videos last summer may have been 6 weeks earlier and wasn't the same when answering comments. We learned a lot from doing them daily. Mostly, it is a lot of time consuming work lol. Thank you for watching and commenting Anna :-)

[@rebeccazody1278]

I have so enjoyed your string of daily videos clearing your land. Great job. I will hang on for more as you see fit.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Rebecca. At least the three will be on set days, unlike before. You never know, we may find an extra one now and then too. See you soon and thank you again.

[@tracybush8115]

I think 3 vids per week sounds great moving forward, but if you need to take a break you know the viewers don't mind - we want you both to take care of yourselves and not overdo it. Land looks fab and I really enjoyed watching the special month long vids. See you Friday!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good morning Tracy. If it had been the planned 14 days we would have been happy to stop and go back to normal, but where we got so used to filming and editing it was quite a hard decision, but the lack of free time was a deciding factor. Hopefully 3 is enough for everyone for now. See you Friday :-) :-)

[@10928rob]

Very funny intro, really made me chuckle, they say those willow withies, just cut them off and plant and they will grow,, apparently, Three videos is fine with us, no good making a chore of it, must take up so much of your time doing them, Ben. when is the Chicken house being built that is what I want to know🤣🥰, xxx❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

I have watched it several times and it makes me laugh each time, I think my favourite day was Day 8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fomVfGiOhLR2osUsi=bhlfLQbIvOZ3WQ_w&t=45 It is how smug Dawn looks, she is very pleased with herself taking the mick out of her geek husband hahaha. It was a great experience though to be able to get a video done each day and share with all our family and everyone else too. Chickens. Not at the moment but of course they are still on the list along with everything else. We are just getting everything in place first before we move on to the animals. I am sure you will see photos when we get our first animal(s). Hope you are both well and see you soon (ish) xxx

[@walkingstickwoman]

In Nack to Eden the guy grows his trees bent down. Just as your apple tree is. He did that so the fruit was easy to pick.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

What a great idea! Well, we definitely won’t have trouble picking the apples on ours apart from the really tall one…those we will have to wait until they drop lol.

[@christinerowlands539]

Will be missed, but we have enjoyed it immensely, but you need a break, you've both worked so hard. Love from us all xx❤

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Auntie Chris. Three days a week will be enough, we will still film it all though :-) See you soon xx

[@Cuernavacachica02]

Hi Dawn and Ben! This video was a hoot going back and watching you two figure out what day it was!! I’d not have been able to do it either! 😅😅😅😅. It must’ve been grueling all these daily videos! I wouldn’t do it if I were you 😅😅 3 times a week is a lot of work, but less than one every day! 😂I’ll be glad to see whatever you put out!! Looking forward to outside, inside and wherever! It’s looking like your own nature preserve. I love it! Good job!!😊❤. See you next time!!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hahaha yes, it was a nightmare trying to remember some days. I think it was where I edited day 5 and it was watched on day 6 and I was already editing day 6 and we would watch day 5... see, confusing hahaha. I suppose it does look like a nature preserve.... natural, fallen trees, piles of logs.... a mess hahaha. Thank you so much Josephina. See you Friday :-)

[@maura423]

3 days a week sounds great! I do look forward to my channels with regularly scheduled videos, but I'm never upset about scheduling changes when needed. Do what works for you 😊

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you that’s really kind and understanding of you 😊 it’s such a shame it all takes such a long time to do dailies because it’s lovely to be able to interact with you all so regularly 😘

[@janconway2880]

That is an incredible amount of work in just clearing the land, not yet finished, well done both of you, I love the stone fence Dawn, excellent, with all the Willow trees, will you be creating willow fences with those twigs.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you! It definitely was a mammoth undertaking! The stone wall is amazing isn’t it? It looks so good, still needs a bit of work doing to it but that’s a job for another day lol. We will use the willow branches in the dead hedge that we build up. 😊

[@mistydawncreates]

Well you guys sure did a lot. It's so much improved. Now you have a good slate to work with. It'll be fun to see everything in bloom.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Oh yes it’s going to be so much easier to keep on top of it all now. Can’t wait to see it all come to life! Shame we run out of time to get rid of the some of the clumps of Ivy before the birds start nesting but there’s always the end of the year. 😘

[@heatherjohnston8946]

Well done to you both, what an amount of hard work you've put in. I have really enjoyed watching the daily videos and I'm looking forward to seeing you on Friday.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you Heather. Dawn did the real hard work, I chipped and made paths, but we enjoyed it all. Still loads to go and you won't miss anything, it may just be a day or two later than the daily videos. See you Friday, we will be here :-)

[@pitsnipe5559]

Three days a week is good, it does take a great deal of work to get a daily video out (as if I’d know 😊). Looking at all you’ve done, that’s a lot of work! Now, look out here come safely guy, when you get to using a chainsaw be sure to wear a full face shield, gloves and never were short pants. Don’t ask me how I know, ask my brother. 😮

[@thecornerhouseproject]

You know because you have been with us every step of the way for months now Ed, that's how you know :-) Oh yes, the chainsaw is still boxed at the moment, the trousers, glove, face shield and ear protectors are all ready. A chipper is one thing, the chainsaw is a whole new ball game. Three days a week... if it is good enough for you, it is good enough for us. Thank you as always :-)

[@belle6219]

That was some hilarious editing! 🤣It's like you wander into a time warp back there and lose all track. 😵‍💫I totally understand the end of the dailies. It was only supposed to be 14 days and ended up 32! I look forward to watching whatever you get up to on a schedule that works for you.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Haha, thank you Belle, I think you could be right, once you walk through the outbuilding you are 100 years ago or is is 32 years, or 19? lol. 14 days.... I think if we hadn't deviated from the original plan we may have done it, but would we have a ditch / stream, so many ivy free trees, piles for a dead hedge and so on. With deviating so much, we are really really pleased with the end of day 32 and where we have got to. Thank you for watching and commenting and will see you Friday :-)

[@sheridavis261]

I think you two are amazing! It's been fun watching daily videos, but three will be great!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you very much Sheri. Dawn is, I can't take much credit for it all. We will still cover everything we do, just not quite as often. Thank you so much for watching and commenting :-)

[@williamtate3710]

What an amazing transformation. You can see the house from all the way in back! That's a lot of hard work.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good morning William. Yes you can see the house, but it was always the plan not to be able to see it haha. But with that said, it is lovely to be able to look from the house down to where the plum tree has fallen. It will be handy to see the animals we plan on having in the future too. Thanks for watching, always commenting and we will see you Friday.

[@pennyneal2456]

A fellow in France just cuts the willows into long lengths then just sticks them in the ground. He was making an arbour.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

What a lovely idea. I will have to have a look for that especially as we may end up needing to cut down more trees as they lean further and further down to the ground. 😘

Good morning Clive, we hope you are well. Once it has all greened up a little we are hoping it will show off our work for the better. Yes, a couple of things to do before the hedge I think, like the mess behind the outbuildings, but the hedge won't be long. Don't get too excited though, it will be our first one. Thanks for always joining us :-) See you Friday.

[@helenangelful]

Thanks so much Dawn and Ben for 32 Garden Days, in which you explained, showed and talked through your plans for your lovely garden. You worked SO hard through wind rain and snow. The results are amazing and awesome. Not only have you a huge gain and a brilliant result on your land, you have provided me with great knowledge and daily enjoyment. Thank you very much indeed 💛

[@thecornerhouseproject]

If nothing else we are pleased we gave you enjoyment, We certainly enjoyed it. Providing great knowledge? Are you sure hahaha. We are not scared in letting everyone know what we don't know and are happy to learn as we go, or even get it wrong and learn from that. Dawn worked SO hard through wind, rain and snow and she always will, Dawn just keeps going and going. Me, I like to have a laze now and then. But it is for us to also say Thanks so much to you Helen for joining us each day and giving us words of encouragement along the way. See you Friday :-)

[@nevisscot7697]

Wonderful to see the transformation of the land..the trees must be so relieved to have all that love and attention...waiting now to see if they produce anything.....great achievement👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Fingers crossed we will get something, there are certainly enough buds on the apple trees. The plum we will have to wait and see. At the moment it all looks a bit sad and a mess, but with a couple of hours moving logs and things, and then a few weeks for the green to start showing, we are hoping it will look lovely. Thank you for always joining us and commenting :-)

[@ellenchapman5293]

Hi Dawn and Ben, that was an enjoyable recap of an eventful month, lovely montage. It could not go on forever, but was great to follow along. Three videos a week will still be a lot to keep up with, but if you do manage, I'm sure the majority will be over the moon to follow. Just keep on keeping on and we'll happily take what we get x

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much Ellen. I thought a montage would be easy, just grab some bits from all of the videos and chuck them together..... then my mind turned to mush and nothing happened on the screen. So this is what we ended up with. Thank you. If we can do seven, we can do three and still enjoy relaxation time. Thank you for always being with us and we will keep on keeping on :-)

[@andie1769]

Looks fabulous! Videos any day that works for you! Don’t want you to get burnt out. Cheers! 🌿🍀🌱

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you so much Andie. I do keep on at Dawn to have a break, but she starts to climb the walls after about an hour lol. There is so much to do everywhere, but on a whole none of it now is time critical, like beating the birds nesting was. See you Friday and thank you again :)

What an accomplishment getting that all initially cleared to have it ready for the season- cannot wait for Bird watch, or updates as you can! I hope you get a sponsorship from a stove manufacturer, that would be awesome! Looking forward to the many many projects you have already on deck. I've enjoyed tagging along- Thank you!😁

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thank you. I was smiling as I put it together as I didn't realise how many times we forgot the day number. I have watched it a few times since too, quite sad really hahaha. We will start with three and see where it leads. I am sure we can have another daily run for a while, just not 31 days straight. We are really pleased. Out there today, no rain, a little bit of sun trying and it was just nice. No rush to get the job in hand done, but there is tomorrow. Ooh a stove manufacturer would be great wouldn't it. We aren't that lucky though. Loads of things to do so there is never a dull moment. Thank you so much Suzanne, see you Friday :-)

[@Mitch-Hendren]

Only just realised you only had to check the date.. after your break day 15 was on 15th feb... Right till day 29 on the 29th.. 😁 3 times a week sounds like a great balance better for you in editing time and just as entertaining for us watching . 👍👍

[@thecornerhouseproject]

But then I would need to know the date hahaha. It did make it easier when it was the same as the day, but still managed to mess it up hahaha. Three a week should be more relaxed for us. Thanks Mitch. Have a good weekend :-)

[@kathryncooper7452]

Daily videos put me way behind so 3 a week is ideal. Some extra work for Ben here, I would've liked to see side by side comparison pics of the views so we can see the difference between day 1 and 32, for various areas of the land.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Daily videos put us behind too haha! 3 is much easier to deal with. That would be a good idea, not sure Ben likes the idea of more editing work than is necessary though! You know Ben, you worked with him 😉😂

[@kathryncooper7452]

@thecornerhouseproject ha ha, that's why I suggested it, get him doing more! It would make content for your FB and insta, side by side before and after pics. I'm sure your other subscribers would like that too!

We’re very happy to hear that, it’s lovely to be able to share all the different things that we come across with you all. Ooh I will have a look for potato digger just in case I hadn’t seen that before…we’ve found quite a few of what we were told might belong to that Deering piece as well as we’ve dug various places.

That made me think of the Whomping Willow in Harry Potter. The daily vlogs seem to give a kick-start to new channels. Yours was very interesting {I love seeing stuff get cleaned). Have you ever watched My Self Reliance? He sticks the camera in a corner and just gets on with it. Then talks at the end. It's just a different format but seems to work for him.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hi Mary Someone else commented the other day (one of the days lol) about the Whomping Willow. I must have a look at Harry to refresh my memory. The daily videos certainly helped with new subscribers but was a lovely by product of why we did them It isn't a name I recognise but that doesn't mean Dawn doesn't know or already watch.

Hahaha - you're a couple of hard cases, Day this and Day that! 3 vids a week will be great. I know they're a lot of work and I appreciate the effort. Looks much better after all that tough yakka. I hope you didn't end up with the flu. Have a good cuppa. Cheers!

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Hello Paranihia, thank you so much for commenting :-) It got to a point where we weren't really sure what day it always was, so we went with what we thought lol Even on day 31 I got it wrong and I am the one putting the stamps on the video lol. No, no flu or colds. Having the right jackets and trousers where needed for the weather makes a huge difference. You can just carry on no matter what. Unless I get cold and then I get fed up and want to come inside :-) Three days a week it will be then. Thank you again and see you Friday :-)

[@dorygeancunningham8027]

You two have done amazing with the dailies! You can be assured, I’ll be here for the three days a week, and if there is a surprise video inserted once in a while, well that will be icing on the cake. Most KZbinrs only do vlogmass on a daily basis. I much more enjoyed your garden videos. I was saying to myself that one is a crab apple, and there was Dawn reading my mind. Crab apples were everywhere here when I was a kid. There were used to make cider in Maryland, once upon a time. I’m not sure what species of apple they use now, but cideries are growing again in popularity. We actually have one less than a mile from our home, which is lovely.

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good morning Dory, how are you doing and do you have any signs of blossom yet? One will pop out and surprise you if you don't get ready to count them lol. Well I did wonder if we will be able to drop in a special from time to time, not sure but we will see as I do like a bit of icing on the cake too. We have only been told they are crab apples, but we will see what we have, So are you saying I need to learn how to make cider? I am sure that is what I am hearing :-) When I was little, and it is still there today, there is a public house called "The Monkey House", actually called The Cider House, and they sell cider. Dad used to take me. It is a 17th century place. Anyway... some of the cider was like vinegar. That is pretty much all I remember. pubheritage.camra.org.uk/pubs/191 See you Friday Dory, and thank you :-)

[@tracybrown6207]

You did make me giggle with the trying to remember the days, I would be worse to be fair. Been lovely to see you daily, but you need to do you and not burn out. Are you planting anything this year? Budget seeds a co uk company - think you can work out the web address if you pop them words together and add a couple of dots. Seed from 15p - can't go wrong at that price and usually delivery is cost of a stamp. I have used them for a couple of years now and their seed is as good as the others. Now is the perfect time to get going and it will stop the area getting overgrown again. See you Friday

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Thanks Tracy for the company, we have had a look and they only ship the Northern Ireland which would then mean driving a couple of hours or paying for delivery from up there. It is a great website though and shows us what to buy and plant at the moment. Certainly useful for us. They are very cheap though, hopefully someone in the UK will see your comment and get theirselves a bargain. I am sure we will try and get something in the ground, we are just trying to sort the big stuff before moving forward. We just lost the plot in the end with what day number it was haha. Thank you so much Tracy for always being here along our way. See you Friday :-)

[@tracybrown6207]

@@thecornerhouseproject It still might work out cheaper if you can get your order delivered to family or friend in England and get them to pop them into another envelope, or is there restrictions? I have no idea. To be honest I didn't know you were in Southern Ireland. I hope it can help out a lot of people at the moment, growing your own at that price might help keep the wolves away from the door for some people and still enable them to eat healthily.

Well Colette, I wish you all the very best of luck as you tell Dawn to slow down hahahaha. I have tried many a time. But, if she wasn't the driving force, I would be in the warm and the trees and ivy would still be as they were 32 days ago lol. It has been great doing the daily videos because as Dawn said, being able to share the day, ask questions, answer comments the next day is really nice. It has been a learning experience and we have loved every minute. We are actually just talking about it in the kitchen as I am typing and we have both just said we would do it again, just maybe in short bursts and not 31 days straight hahaha. Thank you Colette for always being here with us. Our subscribers are so nice :-) See you Friday :-)

All the piles of sticks would you burn them, like we do in NZ we then rake the ash on the ground which really improves the soil

[@DenisPeel]

Hi guys its me again! I wasn't expecting to see that name on the mower, not sure how unusual it is but I have not seen one before here (and I've seen quite a few). It is an International Harvester Deering mower, an very well known American Company who still exist. (from wiki 😀) It was formed from the 1902 merger of McCormick Harvesting Machine Company and Deering Harvester Company and three smaller manufacturers: Milwaukee; Plano; and Warder, Bushnell, and Glessner (manufacturers of Champion brand). Its brands included McCormick, Deering, and later McCormick-Deering, as well as International. Along with the Farmall and Cub Cadet tractors, International was also known for the Scout and Travelall vehicle nameplates. They sold agricultural products under the McCormick-Deering name between 1922 and 1947 so your machine falls some where in between those dates, but were producing things that went bang 39-45 so probably before that! The thing you thought was a gear pattern is the monogram of I and H the logo of International Harvester. They were designed to be horse drawn but lots were converted to be tractor drawn, sometimes the speed of the tractor did not agree with the cast iron parts hence being thrown in a hedge. You guys have done an amazing job, just keep on top of it, little and often! Denis

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Well of course it isn't a common one Denis, this is Dawn and myself we are talking about, why would anything actually be easy. That is great information, thank you so much. We have looked at Google images and someone in Instagram has sent us a picture too, hopefully we can find a photo of this exact one. You info really helps with this. Love you sense of humour with "things that went bang" and why it probably ended up like it did. Thank you again :-)

Absolutely use the schedule that suits your lives.. love visiting with you every day but you both have given so much already, time now to take more time to enjoy your land more regularly.

Thank you so much Penny. It has been a busy month but worth it, we really enjoyed it all and still are. It all looks so different now and once we move the piles and have a good tidy up, we hope the trees are turning green, buds are turning to blossom and the weather will be warmer, indeed maybe for breakfast by the wall hahaha. Have a nice evening and we will see you Friday :-)

[@LewisC1944]

I will miss your daily Soap but understand how hard it must have been to do it. I miss your intro more! Talking to an old Groundsman yesterday about your lovely wall, he used to do dry stone walling and advised that any branches/roots that go right through the wall should be cut from both sides because as they grow thicker they will push the wall apart. Another of my Mothers sayings which is relevant to your Range "near cast a clout till May is out" meaning don't cast off any clothes etc till June. XX

[@thecornerhouseproject]

Good morning Carol. Our daily soap... just trying to remember the day number was hard enough lol. Very time consuming, like every minute of 24 hours one was or another but certainly worth it for being able to share it the next day. So it may happen again.... it also may not hahaha. Yes, the roots will be cut or something or other, but it won't grow once we have finished. It is a terrible shame as they look lovely, so maybe they can stay but be dead on the top. I won't be getting rid of any of my clothes, I may have worn it in January, but nothing saying I won't be wearing it when the summer evening drop to 15 degrees hahahaha. I am not a fan of the cold. I am my Mum's son. See you Friday and thank you for being a channel member :-)
