Fixing MY Path! How's Yours Looking?

[@jasondyer811]

Your a landlords dream Rick ,paying the rent and doing all the property repairs for them as well . Hope they are giving you a rent reduction or a free month or two .😁😁👍👍

[@ricktenerife]

Yes we have an agreement

[@paulcole4902]

A five year plan i can't even plan what I will be doing this weekend 😊

[@ricktenerife]

lol

[@foxbridge01]

Your plan must be working Rick. You have double the subscribers you had when I started watching. Keep going 👍

[@ricktenerife]

Haha Thanks Fox, that quote just inspired me lol

[@josephoconnor9959]

Rick, you are working on this like you are the land / property owner and all the hard work will benefit you in the end. None of my business, but is he paying you to make his asset better, or giving you significant rent reductions? I see you as a noble man with huge moral integrity. Your audience has grown to really like you including me. my only concern is that you get your rewards for ding these improvements . Not everyone has great integrity and so I hope this landlord is a good guy. In my opinion, great if people work hard to improve their own property (their asset), but be really careful about working hard to improve someone else’s! Rick I’m sure you’ve got this covered, and you appear far more worldly wise than I am, but I just wanted to say it. All best

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much Joseph. I appreciate your concern. I have come to an agreement with the landlord and we are on great terms. I am just a very proud man when it comes to living circumstances. I am hoping to be here for a very long time. Cheers

[@lindamunn9451]

Your making a good job of your driveway Rick bit by bit, as they say Rome wasn’t built in a day

[@Waynewarbz]

It’s massively important to have a goal. How you get there becomes your plan. Plans are there to be modified. It’s the goal that counts. I’ve used this on here before Rick. How do you eat an Elephant??? One bite at a time 🙂. Your plan worked out great with the road Rick. Plus an add on benefit. How good was it for your fitness 👍👍👍

[@ricktenerife]

Yeah that was also the reason why I have been working on it Wayne tbh, thanks as always for commenting

[@chrisfowlis9322]

Back breaking work that Rick you deserve a beer or two 😀

[@ricktenerife]

Weekend cannot come soon enough lol

[@helenmiddlebrook1491]

Hi Rick, you are doing really well, especially with your Driveway. You've improved it, very much in the last 30 days. 🎉 Love your vlogs, makes you think about Life. Very Interesting listening to your vlogs. Thankyou Rick 😎🎉

[@ricktenerife]

Very welcome Helen

[@MichaelLewis-y8c]

Hi 👋 rick nice blog if a job worth doing do it yourself be carefully don't nacker yourself up keep smilling and stuff the 5 year plane you pair be happy 💯👏👏👍👋

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much will do

[@zeldacarr6320]

When I worked in large companies, we were all encouraged to have 1, 3 and 5 year goals. One of my colleagues in a large pharmaceutical company actively managed his and was devastated when we all got made redundant, completely out of the blue and his 5 year plan was derailed! I have always resisted any questions about my plans as I was quite happy without one. I was subsequently made redundant on two more occasions and vowed never to work for a company full time again. I set up my own business and have not set any plans since. Maybe things would have turned out differently but happy with the outcome thus far!

[@ricktenerife]

Fantastic Zelda thanks for that

[@birgittakampe8359]

Its difficult to make big plans because you dont know what happens around you. Its people, circumstances, money also. I like very much to listen to your " inner discussions". Myself I am so disappointed with two people, not one, but two who have let me down and made me really disappointed. I know these things happen but still- so maybe I should be more active now and look around what to do with my future. Its so nice listening to your positive philosophy! Tank you! ❤

[@ricktenerife]

You are more than welcome Brigitta. You can only control what you do. Bit you can control how to react to others.

[@paulinedavies5871]

Shame the landlord would tarmac it as We had a lane like that and used to fill the pot holes with road chippings, we had a tractor with a bucket to back blade it. It looks good for couple months but it’s a vicious circle and as you get to the end you have to start all over again 😢 we don’t envy you that task …

[@ricktenerife]

Forth bridge springs to mind lol

[@karenmurtagh2496]

Gosh your working hard but really taking shape, My mum always said live for today bugger tomorrow and deal with what comes when it comes, x

[@ricktenerife]

Great idea

[@rebeccagraham5552]

[@ricktenerife]

[@nataliehick5071]

[@Dori-kt3zg]

Nice one Rick….thats a tough driveway… but you have made a huge difference

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks Dori

[@DazPreston69]

At our age Rick I think 2 x 2 and half year plans is better gives us time to adjust

[@ricktenerife]

Haha You might have a point there Daz. Lol Hope you are well

[@collettekelly1522]

Great vlog Rick ,look where we are now 4 years after the pandemic nobody would have see that coming in their 5 year plan ??But we’re passed it n getting on with life .I’d never have a 5 year plan Rick because life keeps getting in the way so for there’s no point .2things! I think a rake would be helpful with filling in holes and levelling the ground .The second ? I’ve said it to you before ,How do you eat an elephant ??? 1 bite at a time .your doing a terrific job on the house .It’s coming together nicely soo we’ll done on that .take care looking forward to the next one xxx

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much Collette and so true. I am off to buy a rake lol. And a knife and fork big enough for an elephant

[@collettekelly1522]

We’ll good man yourself xxx

[@suebowie9284]

[@unamynes4561]

[@angusmorrison3293]

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks for the tips angus

[@LorraineJones-yp2dt]

Rick you have taken on so much but you are doing brilliant just make sure you have some me time

[@ricktenerife]

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much Mike. Will do

[@AnthonyLingard]

Good job Rick well done that’s some drive

[@paulcole4902]

And why don't you hire a diesel whacker plate to sort out the drive way and compact everything down that's what i would do 👍

[@ricktenerife]

Thats not a bad Idea

[@dianparrotta2118]

The sculptor produces the beautiful statue by chipping away such parts of the marble block as are not needed - it is a process of elimination. Elbert Hubbard

[@ricktenerife]

Very true

[@jeffreygreig2903]

You tend to find entertainers in life but on the other side are deep in thought and mind ,from a male perspective we are looking at what we can achieve or what have we have done in this life ,is it enough ,are we doing enough of the right things ,not one for judging or preaching but life is can we achieve enough to be happy but what is enough ?

[@ricktenerife]

True words

[@user-ju3ll8jp8v]

Well done Rick

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks

[@stephenmoody3305]

It's MS Steve, we spoke briefly in GG's the other night late on. Just keep shoveling away at the drive, another 30 days will improve the car/scooter riding surface even more. Maybe think about hiring in a petrol engined vibrating whacker plate to iron out some of the bigger undulations on the drives surface. As for the five year plan I found personally that I can't plan more than 2 years Infront without something changing direction to which I have little control of. We all keep trying and do our best, and remember everyday Infront of you is your best day, because you can't go back. Keep safe Mate.

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much Steve. All the best.

[@mariehussey928]

Don't worrie rick just let it come and go xx

[@user-fj5jp8zu8f]

Brilliant job Rik 👍

[@andymartin8506]

[@ricktenerife]

Very true Andy. And a very sound philosophy also

[@jackiehodgson2261]

Don't bother with the 5yr plan Rick god knows we're any of us will be then..just go with the flow..the path will be great once finished xx

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks Jackie I will bear that in mind

[@sharonf3634]

Everything you're doing is making such a difference. Be proud x

[@margaretwhite8996]

Well Rick u have your work cut out with the drive for sure, but u will get there ! U defo need some tools i.e. a rake etc, your poor white trainers !! No 5 year plan, i daren't, just 'One day at a time' as the song goes...! you have def worked hard and its looking good ! Hat off to you Rick! 🙏.

[@ricktenerife]

Haha. Shelley said what is the point of putting them trainers in the wash lol Thanks Margaret

[@margaretwhite8996]

​@@ricktenerife Great minds Rick 👟👟 lol !👍.

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

Hi Rick, You have made a massive difference to the house, like you said keep chipping away at it , but by bit you will get there , can’t you get that helicopter to drop you some hardcore off Rick, I think it’s a bit late for a five year plan for me but hopefully not

[@ricktenerife]

You have got ages yet Reeds lol

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

@@ricktenerife thanks Rick I hope so 👍

[@davemulready]

Nice One Rick 👍.A Couple Of Paddys☘Will Do Your Drive Way🤣🤣.

[@andywrong3247]

We had those 5 year plan questions @ a small family business years ago.they said they would be confidential & never be brought up in conversation later.they lied about that one,if you were to ambitious they didn't like it ,if you showed not enough ambition they had you where they need you I cringe when I think back,if I could give an honest answer I would say far away from this family business family businesses are OK until there family & friends join.bloods thicker than water always thought provoking questions rick you'll have chapter & verse next time.

[@ricktenerife]

Interesting story Andy. Thanks for commenting. Hope you are well

[@andrewrothnie7275]

You are a great guy rick

[@ricktenerife]

Cheers Andrew

[@angierobinson5570]

Our five year plan is to hopefully be mortgage free ! We are overpaying it and have been for a while so we should be mortgage free by then instead of in 8 years time 🤞🏻🙏🏻

[@magicmcquades6101]

Job with the council nae bother with that shovel action.The road that Rick built.is that a book or a sequel.that road needs a name Calle ball buster.8mile(slim shady with all the work) Type 1 and pea gravel shifted =2 ton😮,my 5yr plan is stay alive and retire early and move tae Spain.(wishing ma life away)

[@lindakearns3565]

Bloody hell Rick u are amazing well done xxx ❤

[@ricktenerife]

Haha Shucks Linda lol

[@mags4400]

You’ve done OK without a five year plane so far. As we get older, I personally don’t think having long term plans is as important.

[@ricktenerife]

Well said. I can see your point!

[@alexinajoycetaylor2036]

Great job, Rick ,and I loved the vlog

[@alexinajoycetaylor2036]

But I agree with all you said .I have just finished painting my garden fence ,it's quite a big fence and it had to be done as my plants are beginning to grow.But the problem I'm a 67 year old with a dodgy back and knee ,but I love getting the fence done ,to me that is the beginning of my summer in the garden.I used to do it in a dayan a half but not now it's been probably about 4 to 5 days and I've achieved it and I'm so happy now.

[@ricktenerife]

Glad you enjoyed it Alexina

[@2SongsStevie]

Put your wheelbarrow close to the material so you don't need to walk with each shovel full 4 steps to the wheelbarrow. Thats my 5 second plan, Rick. 😂

[@ricktenerife]

Haha yeah maybe I should!

[@johnmabon]

Hi Rick, it is bad in some spots, but you are making a difference, a wee bit each day and you will have it completed as best as you can . Funny money for Tarmac isn’t it, if you can get up from start to finish in Second gear that will do, you done pretty well in a month when you think of it, When your doing something like this you get the pleasure of improving where you live, a Goal a Challenge or whatever, its fresh air and exercise as well, Ricks Handy Man’s Service, NO JOB TOO SMALL 😂. Nice one, looking forward to the next one.cheers 🍻

[@ricktenerife]

Thanks so much John. All the best

[@davebutler17]

5 year plan m8, is that just for the drive? 🤣🤣

[@stuarthorwood2101]

If your landlord is expecting to rent those two cabins out to tourists he really ought to be considering doing something about the driveway

[@ricktenerife]

I think it will be resident rentals also Stuart. And I agree lol

[@deniseb2964]

Good attitude

[@dianparrotta2118]

Question: Did you ask the owner for help with the broken road and if not why not give it a try?

[@ricktenerife]

He has already had a digger on the road for a day. It’s improved a lot since we first turned up. But deliveries of materials from big trucks is the main problem.

[@magicmcquades6101]

Ps 👊👊

[@junemccann5981]

[@triciaslater4783]

Does anyone else share this road? I see a banana plantation on the road so can the council not help?

[@ricktenerife]

No Tricia. its a private path thats all, no one else unfortunately

[@craiglancaster1882]

You need a whacker plate

[@ricktenerife]

Absolutely lol
