Never feel bad about slowing things down, girlies. No one who watches your videos is going to blame you for that, especially after what has happened recently. Make the most of the time you have with AJ. Enjoy every second of it. I lost my 9 year old house bunny in October, and even though he had health problems, and it wasn't unexpected, it still hit me hard. Our pets are our family, and when we lose them, it hurts as much as any other family member. Big hugs to you both and ear scratches for AJ and Summer ❤

[@campervibe]

Thanks you, and soo so sorry for your loss. It really is awful when they leave us. Sending lots of love ❤️

[@uniquerebeljaney3639]

[@hattyburrow716]

So true. Last year was a terrible one, lost Henny my black lab (13) and my Jethers, a soft and affectionate cat (15). Grieved, still do a little, but just before Christmas last year we got a pair of rescue kittens, 14 weeks. They don’t know how to cat and they’re mad asa a bag of frogs, go for walks with us….but they make the world colourful again and bring us madness and love in equal measure. Also have a timeshare in my daughters dog 😊 Lolly

[@isobelchapman9548]

Love you guys…..we are so very lucky that you allow us to be part of your lives, thank you. God bless all xx

[@sashacat53]

I personally think you are doing the right thing in setting yourself up in a comfortable living space so you can then move on in a more relaxed time with your home. When you look back at other utubers like yourselves that is what that end up doing too. Well done for making that decision.

[@lisashepherd5774]

Too true Best comment for a long time A dogs short lifespan is criminal . We all Love AJ on here, and God love him and bless his little cotton socks x

Even at 16 minutes you’re bloody entertaining. The building under the barn is a brilliant idea and should see you through the winter and beyond.

I have spent ALL day cooking a Sunday tea for the rest of my local family, just eaten it and now they’ve gone home I can finally relax in the company of two of the most talented and daft girls on KZbin. Long may you be doing things and telling us about it.

Girls?

[@The_OG_Peaceloveandpuppies]

Enjoy your time with AJ their lives are so much shorter than ours, you ladies are making sure he lives his best life. I think that you have the rest of your lives with the cottage, take your time and it will be even more fabulous when you are finally done. Emily have fun in New York . Love you ladies and Happy Holidays ❤

[@campervibe]

Very true

[@vickit6479]

Sometimes you need to slow down & reprioritise & sometimes you don’t get a choice. Your comments about spending time with AJ brought me to tears - my ten year old dog has just been diagnosed with inoperable bladder cancer & it’s totally changed our priorities. They’re so precious & unconditional in their love for us & deserve so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@diwarburton5369]

I loved your opening sequence. However, I think Emily capitulated too soon until I realised she is off to New York for 8 days! It is lovely to see you so excited about your new project and a great idea. You can waffle on all you like, I love the pair of you.

[@ilikejelly7890]

Great content girls, when you think what it was like when you started, you are doing amazing work. You will save a lot of money by not buying a ready made garden room. It means you can relax a bit and not rush to do the cottage, and you will have somewhere cosy in your downtime. Can't wait to watch the build. Love to AJ and Summer ❤. Michelle

[@IsabelCurdes_photos]

I hope you guys were save during 'Bert' and did not get blown away or flooded. My van was shaking quite a bit. Great about the tiny home, it will make it so much cozier for you already. I am sure AJ will love it 😉

[@anjavonpfeil4312]

Definitely take your time. This is your forever home and you want to make sure everything is sound and going to last for a very long time.

Just when I think I can't possibly love you guys any more than I do you go and take your love for AJ to a whole new level ❤ can't wait to see the next videos

[@SandVan]

A comfortable living space is a perfect idea.. love seeing what your girls are up to ❣️

[@stephenthompson401]

To see if the stone wall is moving - Araldite a small piece of glass across a crack or movement line (microscope slides are good if you can get them - a convenient size and thin). If the stones move, the glass will crack.

You see the rainbow in the same place cause the sun is in the same spot when it breaks through the clouds and shine on the raincloud. Check your time, when you see it and you will see the time is kind of the same as the last time you saw the rainbow. Keep grinding, you are doing so well! :)

Good move on the tiny home project. Moving in before the worse of the winter will help a lot. You have been putting in too much hard work to rush it now. You'll never regret spending a bit more time with AJ either.

[@user-Tortured-soul]

❤You are slowing down for the most loving reasons. You won’t regret it.❤ You have both done really well.❤

[@susanlohan7806]

You've made great decisions abt your progress. From experience, it's definitely cheaper & less painful doing as much of the demolition & remodelling together from the outset. You also certainly deserve the new living area to retire to after a long day's work during the dark & wet winter months. Dying to see this mini project.

Good idea building a cabin under the barn, quality of life is so important the renovation will get done but not at the detriment of your health and quality of family time. 😊

[@SVImpavidus]

Hi Ladies. We don't often comment but, thought it may be prudent given Ant's background. To check your movement issues..... By a sheet of 2mm greenhouse glass. It is cheap. Cut strips from the glass that are about 25 mm in width, a glass cutter is cheap! Use an epoxy glue to secure the glass strips at the ends across the joint. Any movement will crack the glass showing you where the movement is. You can also bend the glass strips into a right angle using a blow lamp then secure them with epoxy, to show movement. Ant & Cid xx

[@campervibe]

Hi guys, hope you’re well! You’ve been watching for a long time! 😃 Our engineer said just make marks on the wall and note the measurement from the render to the door frame. If it moves more than a few centimetres then look into it further. And repeat on the opposing side in case the door frame moves with the wall. Will this not work? It’s not abnormal for a stone wall to present a 30% lean before it finally goes he’s said! 🤷‍♀️

[@SVImpavidus]

@@campervibe Hi Ladies. We just flew back from Tunisia. Not been on line for a week. Got back to find our camper start batteries are toast! The service battery is down to 50% SOH so we are going lithium. Oh yea we bought Camper.... 😉 These old buildings move a lot they have to or they would fall down. I would say you need to keep an eye on all the wall. Monitor and watch for sudden and/or excessive movement. Anything more than 3-4 degrees will need to be investigated, possibly braced like we used to do in the UK (Those big S shape's on the outside of old buildings) Just don't sleep under the wall or try to hold it up by hand. 😄 We will be watching tonight now we have WiFi again..

[@mariecurly2420]

Brilliant as always ❤

[@stephenrussell6074]

Once the roof is off don’t bother checking what is happening with that wall, just rebuild it, that will strengthen that end of the cottage significantly, providing support and reducing load on the other sections. If you don’t take that interior wall down and sort the floors you will regret it. Also when you are doing the floor run ducting in for power, data and heating pipes so you can keep all the walls clear. You can also have floor mounted sockets if you want to not have cables running out to seating locations or tables. Making it look more traditional without sockets on the walls. Running cables behind the lime mortar can enable wash lights to be mounted on the feature walls along with lights along the floor. Planning your lighting really early is a great way to ensure it is magically hidden.

[@paultansley5528]

@@stephenrussell6074 the one thing to consider with floor mounted sockets is water, spillage 😱 leaks & floods 😱 especially when your in the centre of a field in the middle of nowhere ❤️❤️❤️

I really think you should get the van under cover.

Your plans are both sensible & exciting, I can just see that wood burner & cosy sofa, will you make a step up for AJ? Do keep exercising too, when I had to live in my van for 5 months & developed knee problems a nurse pointed out even though I was out dog walking every day, the rest of the time I was only moving one or two steps at a time & it made a real difference. But enjoy your van & tiny home & family, it will all be worth it in the end! Love to AJ & Summer 😊🐶🐶🚐

Great news. Sounds like you’re going the best thing by building the new space. Looking forward to watching it being built! Always love your videos.

So glad you've decided to take that wall down whilst you are doing everything else. It makes sense & think you would have regretted it if you hadn't done it & by then you wouldn't want to mess everything else up. It will slow things down, but good things come to those who wait. Best to take your time & get it how you want it. Plus you are right to spend quality time together & with AJ & Summer. Too much work makes Jack a dull boy🤷‍♀️😄 Your rustic home will look fab & be nice & cosy. I'd get a multi fuel burner in there, if your budget stretches & its safe to do. Make it even more warm & cosy. Love your enthusiasm & positivity. Can't wait to see it. Hope Emily brings something nice back from NY😄
