I'm Renovating a Swedish Cottage By Myself (Story 55)

[@wildrosie]

Hi everyone, if you like the fat tyre bike I'm using in the video, check out Cyrusher, who kindly sent me their Ovia ebike! :) They also gave me a discount code 'KZbin80' to share with you for 80 USD/GBP/EUR off your purchase. The links to the website are in the description box! Thanks, Cyrusher!

[@moda78z]

Woohoo! Congratulations!

[@americancockerspanielchannel]

Rosie, your bike is a real vehicle! Your new window is such a great accomplishment, it will keep you warm this winter, also it will serve you longer! 🎉

[@Daytona2]

Brilliant, so 137km/charge, by just using it on hills 👍

[@oseragradece_reiki_flaviae5211]

I Love the bike. That was very kind of them. It will help you in your shoppings around. Give you more independence.😊

[@jenniferlittlechild5839]

You drone footage is incredible, having it hover over you while you pack up the tent, or cycling along the trails. I’ve always enjoyed the aerial views of your cottage & the surrounding forest, but this bike trip was so beautiful. The ebike went so well, I was wondering of the battery would get you home, or if you had to charge it when you came to the small town .. amazing that you didn’t have to. A great review on the bike … and great jib on that window 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Pellerhur]

As a Swede, I just love your footage of the forests and the lakes in this film of yours. It's showing the beauty of the Swedish countryside, and how welcoming and inviting it is, thanks to Allemansrätten. You can set up a tent wherever you like for 24 hours, without asking the owner of the property, pick berries and mushrooms, and just enjoy the wildlife. It's remarkable and beautiful, and a lawful right for everyone.

[@louriga]

Rosie, you have mastered filming and editing, it is such a pleasure to watch your videos. The music also is the perfect combination with the images. And you, the way you deal with your work. I don’t understand how you haven’t got millions of subscribers! Thanks for sharing, I almost cry when the video finishes. I can’t wait for the next one (no pressures 😂😂

Thanks Leah!

[@olofssonfamily7050]

It is just amazing how good you and/or your drone is at filming. For example that morning when you were gathering water from the lake and the drone was zooming out when you returned to the tent or when you wer cycling by the lake and the drone was following you from the side. It is really great footage and I guess it requires a lot of thought, effort and programming the drone.

I agree, it,s amazing 😊

I am so unfamiliar with KZbin and am visiting my daughter and son in law in China, and as she is away during the days, I started watching KZbin and stumbled upon your channel quite by chance. I am entranced! Being an avid watcher of home improvement shows on mainstream TV, I can 100% say that the Hollywood posers are just that, they have all the bells and whistles and the contractors doing the actual hard work. You dear Rosie are a natural, not only doing all your own work but your video editing and honest to goodness approach to every little task at hand fills me with pride for you and what you are achieving! I look forward to your future adventures :-)

On old windows, if you first brush linseed oil on the wood panes, the putty will work better. Putty tends to pull oil from old wood, so if you first apply linseed oil before the putty, it will last longer and crack less.

[@milkweeddreams8828]

I so love your adventurous spirit, I used to live in the Colorado mtns when I was your age, in a darling little cabin...I could've used your bike back then...I too am renovating my windows, a tough job for my old fingers, but I love to stay busy in my old home and I love decorating it, your home is adorable as is the guest house, you've done a great job...I do miss living in the country...have fun on your next jaunt brave girl...!

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Taking the windows out was a good choice. Have fun with your bike! Thanks to Cyrusher for sending it to her!!

[@tinakahler5884]

Dear Rosie, thank you so much for bringing us along on your journey ❤ You have inspired me to try out hiking. So now I am preparing for my first 4 days trip - can’t wait to embark on my first little adventure. Much love from Denmark ❤

I hope you’ll have a wonderful time ❤️❤️❤️

Oh amazing! I hope you have a great experience! Will you be hiking in Denmark or somewhere else?

[@tinakahler5884]

I will be hiking on the Gendarme Path which is 84 km along the coastline and the border to Germany. It will be my very first hiking trip and also the first time sleeping alone in a tent (well my dog will be there so I don’t get too scared 😉).

[@irisstormo6913]

Rosie .. this was worth waiting for. Your artistry shone through from your window rehab to the drone footage and editing. We see only a fraction of the work you do .. but gosh I'm so impressed. Your drone was the best thing you've ever gotten!! Such an added dimension. I wait eagerly for the next instalment 😊

[@herbsandfoxes]

Hi Rosie, in my opinion your Garden is great. Its pure nature and this is so damn important for our Environment, for the animals, the insects. In germany we have an association called Natur Garten e.V.. This people create green biotops and oasises in their gardens with the aim to make habitats for living beings with got rare in our nature, because we humans take their natural livingrooms. So I really like your „messy“ Garden and don‘t see it negative, more like a very untouched home Forum Little important companions. And who knows - maybe you will explore meetings with the beautiful, rare ones, that most people won‘t. ;)

[@darrellchristie643]

Good morning Rosie (it's morning where I am) ... it is always a pleasure to get the notification that you've uploaded a new vid ... thanks as always.

[@darrellchristie643]

The new bike is one I have been looking at - and I know it has a "walk" mode so you can set it to go really slow while you walk beside it to hold it up so you can get out of / into tricky spots so you are not doing all the work yourself pushing etc.

[@littledude5311]

You are so channeling Pippi Longstocking with your red hair and dress outfits.

[@littledude5311]

I am in awe of your self sufficiency.

36:00 some tips: 1) Hold the spatel flat against the glass, tilt it 45 degrees and use the left side edge of it against the paste, doing so cleans up the scrap on the glass at the same time. 2) The chalk-paste you can buy is never nice, to hard / to soft / weird ingredients. Just buy linseed oil and chalk at the paint shop and mix it to the consistence that works best for you. 3) Such a classic window should also be continued by painting it with traditional linseed oil based paint, hence, buy pigments mix with the oil. Be sure to paint over the chalk paste otherwise it will be eaten up by birds.

[@citygirlingraham]

Yeah Rosie, what a blessing to get a electric bike to help you get around, you are doing awesome with your home. Love your videos, keep them coming. It's nice to stop what your doing and take a break from your job and renovating and just get a complete change of scenery, with that you recharge yourself which is so important.

[@janinafisher101]

Good job on that window. Everything you do, you do so well. I'm so glad that you got to go on a little adventure trip! What a lovely bike. I'm sure that will make it easier when you have to pick up supplies at the hardware store and have a long hard ride! Kudos to the folks at Cyrusher!

Hi Rosie, what you're saying earlier is the planning fallacy.

[@dottiebaker6623]

You won't regret doing a thorough job on each window. It would have been much harder to do the insides and then later do the outsides. You may get fewer windows done this season, but if you do all the windows in one room, at least that room will be more comfortable in the winter. And when you're in there, you won't be seeing windows that still need doing. When you're doing a renovation as complete as yours, it gets to be important to have at least one room you can be in where you're free from the overbearing feeling that you NEED to be doing something to fix it. At least one room where you can relax, and pat yourself on the back. So glad for the freedom your little bike gives you!
