Uncovering Hazardous Waste At My Backyard Homestead?!

[@rewildingjude]

This week I feel like I started a lot of things and yet finished nothing! Thank you to everyone for your boiler reassurances on last week's video - I'm getting it serviced next week, so hopefully it's fine 🤞Now if I could go a week without something else breaking, or finding anything else that's going to be expensive to deal with, that would be lovely! 😅 For anyone who's interested - you can find my amazon wishlist here - www.amazon.co.uk/registries/gl/guest-view/1RTBH9124KTQW (although there isn't a lot on it right now as people have been incredibly generous!) You can buy me a coffee here - buymeacoffee.com/rewildingjude Or - you can like this video and subscribe to see more of my adventures - who knows what I'll find buried in the undergrowth next! I'm holding out for buried treasure, but it'll probably be a sinkhole or something... 😂

[@terrymcgovern1039]

Hi Jude, I think the pile of ash has fibreglass not asbestos. My reason for this is asbestos does not burn and was used behind cookers etc. if you look at pictures of Fiberglass sheets you will see it looks like what you have. We live in Aberdeenshire. Cheers Terry

I, like yourself am an introvert, so I rarely even post a comment, but I would just like to say how much I love your home. It is a very beautiful block and cottage and find it a privilege to be able to watch you go about your life there. Just remember we all have things that go wrong and take longer to do or cost more than we expect, but believe that it’s all part of the fun and it will probably always occur. Hoping you never get too down or discouraged. Look forward to watching for many years to come.

I'm sure that you've been taken aback by the amazing subscriptions and views on your channel and started to realise that making the videos with the extremely high production values that you use and answering all of the comments could amount to a huge chunk of your week. I don't think that you'll be looking for a new enterprise or even a paid job after your gap year. I think you've found your new niche in life. In time the cottage will be all spick and span, the compost will be making itself and the veg garden will be thriving but I'm sure that most of us would happily watch you do anything you chose to do with your time regardless of what it is.

[@eliengroot8115]

Dear Jude, here's a tip from a dedicated composter (living not that far from where you are): leave the composting process be. This is Scotland, and it just isn't warm here. You will have noticed this. Therefore you are making cold compost, whether you want to or not. This will happen magically, all by itself. Only thing is, it takes time. My compost is on a 3 year rotation, I have 3 bins, in a smallish garden. No1 bin is this year's compost, number 2 is last years compost and no 3 bin is the compost I am going to put on the soil in about December/January time. and then I turn no2 into bin 3 etc, you get the picture. No 1 bin is the biggest, and no 3 is the smallest. I do rummage a bit in number 1 bin ,if I can't put any more material in, just with a fork, and then it settles and that is all I do to it. If you are so lucky as to be able to gather too much material for one bin, just make another one right next to it. Or 2! You need them close together so you can turn the stuff from the one to the other. And of course you want them right near where you're going to grow your veg, so you don't have to make unnecessary trips with wheelbarrows. Good luck!

[@eliengroot8115]

PS Your beds should run north to south.

[@kerfuffle9312]

[@ameliagfawkes512]

Yes, I'm in Scotland too. I just keep filling quite a number of larger than normal composters and, when I finally do excavate them, it's black and beautiful stuff. You can speed up the process with wee .... I know to most that sounds disgusting, but I don't know why when folks are happy to put all sorts of manure into their garden. Not recommended to do that with human poop unless a foray into humanure has been researched in advance.

[@annhopkin5079]

Jude, did you ever anticipate that there would be someone on the other side of the world hunkered down in her car during a work break for the sole purpose of watching your channel while eating take away lunch? 🙋‍♀️😄 thank you for sharing your adventures with us! P.s. welding a flame thrower to torch wood is a level of bravery I hope to achieve in this lifetime! P.p.s could you level your garden beds by increasing the height of the raised bed structure as the lawn slopes downward? and then when you fill it with soil, you could just level it out? That might require some clever math so I can’t help you there, but I see it in my head.

[@rewildingjude]

Hahaha!! I hope I was good company for your lunch break!! The torching was SO much fun! I was kind of intimidated by it at first (I’ve never used one before) but it was addictive! I’ve still got a bit more to do, but I’ve run out of propane so I’m waiting for them to come and switch my bottle! I think I’ve worked out what I’m going to do with the raised beds - which is going to involve some digging to level out bits of the ground… we shall see how that goes 😂

[@ciaplush]

Oh! I think I know why that board caught on your circular saw and tore - the weight of the board is causing it to fall into the middle where you're cutting it, thus gripping the blade. Try to have the fulcrum of each of your cut pieces a little closer to the inside where you're cutting -looks like it was resting on the very far end of the board. The setup looked way better when you were using the hand saw. It's better to have the board fall away from you (even if it flips into the air) than it is to have it fall in towards the saw. You're doing great! Good luck!

I instantly smile when I see you pop up on my notifications 😁 you’re such a joy to watch. Thank you for the inspiration Jude. After last weeks video, I tackled my veggie plot & feel so much better for it! I love your get on with it attitude & it’s so nice to see a happy smiley face…..have a great week ❤

[@rewildingjude]

Ahh that’s so good to hear! Thank you!! I was hoping to get my raised beds done this week but I’ve run out of propane so I’m waiting on a delivery to get my bottles switched! Luckily I have plenty of other things to do in the meantime!

[@lynnrushton7458]

@ never a dull moment eh 😁

[@staceyglyde]

You are very good at this. You are so happy and engaging, even when dealing with asbestos, old tools, mold, and other homeowner woes. I so enjoy watching your vlogs!

[@staceyglyde]

Also, staring cows. And burning stuff. ❤

[@chorky2]

My father who is 85 has a really old strimer he still uses he just buy a loose reel of the string and winds it onto the spool himself. Heather

[@rewildingjude]

Such a great idea!!

[@Maggie-j3r]

My cat sat and watched this one with me I think she enjoyed it as much as I did.

[@rewildingjude]

Aww I love that!!

[@beckywhitt7356]

Love the cows. Great neighbors.

[@rewildingjude]

They’re the best neighbours! (Second only to my human neighbours - who I low-key want to adopt me! They organised a community apple pressing this weekend, and I had so much fun!)

[@janespond922]

It would be a lucky family who adopted you!❤​@@rewildingjude

[@helen6149]

@@rewildingjude That is wonderful to hear that you have lovely neighbors! Maybe ask some "cow people" if it is ok to feed the cows ivy, though? I am not sure but it could be poisonous to cows, although they seem to survive just about anything. Thank you so much for sharing your life on KZbin. You are doing a fantastic job there!

[@Ninquenura]

Dear Jude, I just want to say, that I enjoy your content so much. And it really doesn´t matter if you finish your task or not. It´s just so satisfying for me to watch you. Thank you for sharing your cottage life with us. It makes my soul and heart so happy.:)❤

[@rewildingjude]

Thank you!!

[@joankiely3614]

Absolutely love your videos! You said you have no skills, well boy were you wrong!!! Cheers till next time, 😍❤️💕👏🥰🤗

[@SkyeSpirit]

I am honestly so impressed and inspired by your vision, hard work, resilience and self-sufficiency! 👍

[@helensutton107]

I can’t tell you how happy it makes me when I have a new post from you pop up in my feed.

[@LauraGomez-bl2so]

Cow friends! So cute. I used to feed grass to the cows over the hedge in my last house. I miss those cows. 😭

[@rewildingjude]

Amazing!! I just got back to find a cow with its two front legs over my fence, eating my grass 😂

[@LauraGomez-bl2so]

@@rewildingjude Haha! I love it. Excellent work, cows. 🐮

[@carolyncampbell6149]

I’ve just been pressing the like button on so many comments so I’ll just say thanks Jude, not for your diy skills (and you do have some) but your have a go, positive attitude. Take care. Xx

[@LivingonaUKStatePension]

I smiled when I saw your shelving. I bought that off amazon and have put two lots together. Got to be the fidliesst shelves I've ever done.

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Sunday evenings are fun evenings with you 😊. You are doing great. I admire your courage and I'm rooting for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with all honesty, you keep it real. I'm sending you blessings 🙏

[@LittleJenniren]

I love that you have Holly and Ivy growing together on your property. Very sacred plants in ancient Scottish and Irish mythology 🤓

[@AngelaGarcia-es4ku]

Hello Jude. You don't need a replacement reel for your Dad's old trimmer, just the nylon, which comes in rolls (it can be any name brand). The reel comes out, then you wind the nylon thread around it and reinsert the reel. You just need to make sure it's thin enough to pass through the reel hole. I enjoy your videos so much. I am a bit envious of your Beautiful property. Nothing like that in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!! ;) Cheers

[@deetles98]

But there’s plenty of cows in Wisconsin!

[@jeanallan8106]

You think you don’t have skills? I live in a condo in the city and would be lost if I couldn’t get Starbucks delivery. I dodge when the HOA is looking for volunteers to clear snow. My proudest moment recently was when my toilet started to make trickling noises and I figured out how to fix it by replacing the flapper. Must be why I find your videos so relaxing because I can live vicariously through them. My favourite this week was getting a good look at the cows ❤

[@rewildingjude]

I mean - great job on the toilet!! That’s definitely a moment to be proud of!! (I struggle in cities! I had to drive into Aberdeen today, which is not a big city AT ALL and I still got stressed!) 😂

[@earthangel8730]

Keep a bucket to pee in and add it to the compost heap. It adds essential nitrogen and speeds up the composting process. It repels varmints too. Just do it!

[@Ragt0p]

Absolutely! As long as you do not take any medication. I didn’t think about that, so stopped using pee this year after learning about it. Now, I make «tea» from nettles and weeds and add instead.

[@MsLinz1975]

​@@Ragt0pthat nettle tea is powerful stuff. I used to brew it for my plants.

[@rewildingjude]

@@Ragt0pnettle tea is brilliant! I had a batch in a bucket at my last house - I’m thinking of getting a water butt and using it just for nettle / comfrey tea!

[@rewildingjude]

I can neither confirm nor deny whether I’ve been peeing on my compost 😂 a bucket would probably be sensible though 😂

[@Ragt0p]

@@rewildingjude making tea is also a great way to kill weeds in a way where they can do good in your garden. I have a black 100 liter plastic barrel. This summer I filled it halfway with water and piled things I didn’t want on my compost heap in there. The sun baked it, and the warm water drowned/cooked the seeds. I’ve used the water as fertilizer, and kept the plant bits. So far I haven’t seen anything grow from the sludge, but I’m keeping the sludge away from the compost until I’m sure the method. Next year I’m pretty sure the sludge is going on the compost. No organic matter lost 🤩

[@dianecichocki8949]

I look forward to your videos-they always give me a smile and your biggest skill is being you with your great attitude even when things go wrong. I enjoyed watching the cows watching you.

[@jdwkansas]

Make your saw cuts near the sawhorse so the wood doesn't bend inward binding the blade.

Don't be so hard on your self Jude you are doing brilliantly. Be proud of your achievements ❤

You're the king of your castle and I think you're doing very, very well 👌👏🤩

[@ewanstevenson]

Just asked my wife for a second opinion of my self-diagnosis and it's confirmed: I have shed envy! 😂 She did shoot me a look when I could be heard muttering "nice rack"! 🙃 With regard to strimmers, from experience, if you go down the battery route, I'd get one that takes 2 of your power tool batteries. The extra voltage will give it the necessary oomph.

[@rewildingjude]

😂😂😂 your comments always make me laugh, Ewan! 😂😂 That’s a great call on the strimmer - I didn’t think of that!!

[@prubroughton1864]

I know 3 guys who had very limited exposure to asbestos who died of mesothelioma - asbestos cancer so take care. Worth extra cost to get it sorted as professionally because you can’t replace you life. Get battery tools. I have 2 makita. That way your batteries can always be the same and a double charger is a help. At 76 I bought a power head which takes alsorts of extras. Edgers pole saws strimmers. My late partner used makita in his building life and so I have inherited a lot of tools, just getting back to using them. The thing about battery tools you can take them anywhere as long as your battery is charged. No struggling with cords finding plugs etc 😊

[@Riptide1976]

Nice vlog today Jude. I like your sense of humor. By the way I don’t think you give yourself much credit. I think you are cable to do anything!!!! See you next week.

[@rewildingjude]

Thank you!! Oh there are so many things I can’t do - you should see me trying to parallel park 😂😂 give me a propane torch over a car, any day of the week 😂😂

What a great and efficient shelving system! I’ve never been able to convince my husband that old furniture is not the best way to go for storage 😄

[@ladyflimflam]

That corner unit really makes it, doesn’t it.

[@rewildingjude]

I do love reusing old stuff though! I’ve got a cupboard in there at the moment that I think was my dad’s dad’s - eventually I’m planning on refinishing it and bringing it into the house though - it’s too nice to be out there! 😂

[@alicemckay1]

I just found your new channel, Jude - and I've watched all your videos over the last few days. I'm so happy for you. I have a bit of land where I live (rurally) and I absolutely love it. Yes, sometimes you run all week to stand still - but it's a great place to stand still in! I wish you every success and happiness with your new home. Thank you for sharing the videos - they are wonderful!

[@rewildingjude]

Thank you so much!!

[@judith4985]

I watch you fixing up your house and property and do everything that we did when we moved to our farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. 32 years later we’re doing it all again! Enjoy all the years in between!!! 😊

[@jude6752]

Another enjoyable watch, thank you Jude. From one Jude to another, we used to run the lawnmower over the leaves and rake with a finer leaf rake and then compost. I am in a hot climate, but my compost was dry unless we did this.

[@vivnutter2156]

I wish I lived closer so I could give you a lift although you seem to be managing nicely all on your own. Well done. Xx

[@PaganTaylor]

Pegs and String are always a handy tool to use when measuring out your beds. 2 to 3 foot pegs if you can, to help give you the levelling space you may need due to your ground slant. Depending how how deep you will want to go. Then you level against your string. Similar to what you would do if laying concrete.
