Will we EVER finish our NIGHTMARE Fairytale Cottage Renovation?!?

in this week's video you asked for it you got it finally an update on our nightmare English fairy tale Cottage but guess what it's not so much of a nightmare anymore we are weeks away of finally finishing this and I am going to put throw this out there this project started a year ago it's summer here in England now as much as I like the heat unfortunately our pigs don't so Luke and Ben head out to save the day she definitely didn't want to be here with me and and who can blame her I think everybody's gonna be excited about this episode because guess what it's all about our nightmare Keepers Cottage however it's not a nightmare anymore everybody now you can kind of just look here at the Garden and this gives you an idea as to the last time that this house was really properly worked on because everything has grown so there's been a lot of time but what's so nice about this is I like to think of this as well not necessarily part of the rewilding project but it's very rewilded so scaffolding is still up there's still bits to do everybody in the chimney but for the most part it has been fixed which means that we can start to decorate inside and we are a few weeks away from this being available as a holiday let can you believe that or a vacation rental so that is what I'm going to show you today this is going to be in one sense tidied up but I quite like it I mean you could just roll down these Hills there it is going to be tidied up but we're going to keep a lot of it still wild so we'll sort of stream this so it becomes in one sense a walkable lawn for those guests who are renting here but we do want to keep obviously the elements of sort of wild so I hear lots of noise I'm so excited [Music] I hear noise hello I see my favorite person Raymond Raymond Raymond everybody push me is the new Foreman I mean I'm still technically project manager right but he's the foreman and he is the reason that we are back on track so shout out to Raymond um Everybody Loves Raymond I do as well for making sure that this is back on track so the chimney is almost fixed isn't it yeah yeah no one's fake almost fixed a little bit more but you can see in here that we are starting the three decoration process but but lots of cracks in the ceiling and those need to be patched up like I said I will be putting on my boiler suit so everybody this is the dining room if you remember that from videos months ago uh like I said this is going to be finished in a few weeks time yeah so should we head upstairs yeah okay all right Andrew June to be here you've heard it here first end of June end of June I believe him all right up we go [Music] we're now heading upstairs so you're not going to get an entire peak of the cottage um but just a bit because it kind of looks almost the same as it did the last time but we've done lots of more electric work a lot more a lot Plumbing a lot of Plumbing everybody so now that that is nearly finished you can see in here one of the bathrooms and hopefully you can see the before and after but this is still isn't done so still painting yeah yeah tiny tiling more skirting more skirting lights yeah in here this is what has been a real Revelation everybody for months you couldn't even walk in here so now look at I can walk in here and everybody if you remember the bathtub that I restored Tada here it is I think it's all right isn't it yeah a little bit more cleaning no it's not too bad we got all the filler off the back yeah yeah it's all off yeah look at that everybody and then we did put new Taps we knew we were going to put new tabs but again this this bathtub was salvaged at one of the barns here on the estate which is really nice and look we've got TNG tongue and groove here lovely sort of angled window just to keep the light in yeah um really great yeah it's a nice bath so you can actually sit in the bath now look at the window and daydream end of the day yeah if you wanted to I would like to do that does anybody have time to do that no no no no no no but we can dream about it and then this is the master bedroom and again we've got still lots to and and of course Furnishing it but beds are there mattress is there lots of Lights here and Raymond found this for 50 pounds yeah it's a nice nice quite quite old it's a nice pedestal well you do have the pedestal oh great yeah this is great so you guys we are back on track so do expect and you will it will happen lots more uh fairy tale English cottage renovation videos coming very soon because we are weeks away of finally finishing this and I am going to put throw this out there this project started a year ago and then we sort of hit one nightmare after another after another where we had to pause things until we figured out in particular that chimney problem that was a biggie whoa we love all this cleared out by Friday night and then you can have it one day isn't that great and then we can then Malcolm and I are going to come in here yeah we're gonna furnish everything it's gonna look the scheme is spectacular and the finds that we were able to to Really set our eye on and take home are these a lot of them are great sort of antique vintage Discovery everybody knows how much I love a flea market I love a good flea market all right thanks Ray thank you pleasure right I mean I should have had you as my form in the entire time but he's too busy dealing with leaks at Matt pretend we're always busy we're doing with something with water it's always water it's always water yep [Music] all right well that was amazing to see now on to my next project uh I probably do about 20 000 steps on the estate but the one thing that keeps me going is my ag1 I literally have it in my hand wherever I go and ag-1 has 75 minerals and vitamins and Whole Food sourced ingredients it's like sustained energy throughout the entire day I mean this is what keeps me going I love ag1 and it's one of the most complete and comprehensive supplement powders on the market and it also for me in particular I mean we're all aging let's be honest here but it helps with reduce those visible signs of aging hello thank you very much it's fantastic for for cellular health for metabolism especially when you're aging I'm just going to take another sip it's and it tastes great it's the other thing it tastes amazing plus it's great for your microbiome and we know how important microbiome is and your gut do check out ag1 I've set up a special link Down Below in the description and on your first purchase of ag1 you will get a year's supply of vitamin D3 plus K2 and five travel packs I don't leave home without these travel packs it's one scoop once a day every single day this stuff's the best today we are on a mission because we have pigs in crisis Ben what's happening too hot for them is it too hot for the picture it's very hot yeah so we need to find a real nice wet field where they can go and wallow and roll around and play in the mud just be a pig you piggy Pig bee Pig and pigs have got delicate skin like humans yeah so they will sunburn if it gets too hot and they haven't if you brought some sun cream uh we've got some sun cream but I don't really want to start rubbing them into the pigs yeah I mean you know Chris thinks they need shampoo for dandruff so adding the sun cream in as well I mean that would be maybe that's a good little part-time job for Chris where you can get up and like sun cream the pigs up in the morning shampoo whole pigs yeah anyway um let's go up we're gonna go find them we're gonna move them to another field on the map and weldon's project where we have lots of lovely food what else has it got some nice fresh running water so it's running water nice and cool as well so they're going to be really burrowing in yeah so with that wet ground they'll actually start rustling at the moment it's just so dry that they can't actually root all at the moment so we're having to feed them more great let's get in the car and do it [Music] foreign [Music] even if they do Escape they're not really going very far are they no they're not going to go too far no they just want they just want to be fed I haven't fed them today yet so just just that helps with the moving and and the pigs haven't oh dear I've just totally failed here we go let's go back this way to help I put put the feeder come on let's get some feed around here come on so so Ben which is sage and which is onion uh so Sage is the one that you're tackling at the moment right and then this is this thing is an interesting choice as well I don't think I'd have a hope of tackling save come on you one of them is in in pig meaning meaning about to have piglets is that right yeah so that's um let's say to this one yeah and then onions onions Barren so she hasn't got anything that she's more of a company it's lucky pigs they're getting D3 b1e B12 and a bit of Manganese and iron yeah so that's pretty healthy for us too wow do you think one of these a day instead of your multivitamin probably a lot cheaper do you want to take one it's actually quite tasty isn't it does it tasty Yeah you sort of taste of chicken a premium cereal brand [Music] Ben give me a job so um did you want to get some hay and just Chuck some hay on the on the the tailgate of the trailer just so just so they're not stepping on metal okay just so it sounds a bit nicer but like softer and then so we're worried about their feet why not worry about it well giving them a sort of gentle yeah just just so they're not standing on metal it's like about an alien there yeah yes sir yeah wow we did it she doesn't know this but she's going to a fantastic New Field where she's going to have lots more water shelter softer ground and a whole stream and Marsh to play in [Music] this is a completely different kind of field yes yeah completely yeah you can see that it's got Marsh it's got Bracken trees in the middle of the field and all of this provides great shelter so that must be why Sage yeah Sage yeah it's really exciting it needs to get out yeah it's almost like another in there for her so yeah yeah let's let's get her out how do I do this uh and then lift up there you go just a pin that was fine okay right welcome side to your new home yeah looking pretty good of course Sage is immediately wondering where onion is what do you think yeah she's actually having quite a nice rest uh no I think she's probably probably wondering where she is it's going to take her a little bit of a bit of time just to get used to use the new area yeah um just because it's completely almost polar opposite really isn't where they were yeah there's a bit cooler down here as well it is cooler isn't it where's where's the water from here uh so the water is coming coming down here coming into these sort of rushes where is she going to be able to drink uh so should I be able to drink here at the top right top corner of that gate and then further on there's more water trying to get back in oh look at that all the food she's not trying to get back in she just remembered that we we covered her she's trying to get back in in Pig nuts what do you think she's having second thoughts about her she's like nah take me back that's what she said take me back the whole point is that this is infinitely um more interesting and habitable [Music] come up well she she definitely didn't want to be in here she definitely didn't want to be in here with me and and who can blame her right there we go [Music] thank you [Music] all right give her a little bit of a shove it [Music] thank you yeah it wouldn't be great if they escape the moment we got them in Ben I think they deserve a treat yeah definitely yeah hey yeah here we go look at that all we need is a bit of milk and sugar and they'd be in pig Paradise actually I think they're doing pretty well just as they are um so we will be coming back here to make sure that they've got some shelter then you're going to be putting in a Bringing Down the the cover yeah bring down the shelter and then just just for it but it's quite interesting that we've pulled in here straight away and she was already leading this is what the other field didn't have I didn't have any Hedges that were yeah sort of protecting them from the Sun a bit so this is this is going to give them protection for most of the day yeah they've got trees they've got scrub they've got places they can find there and they've got a great big pool up there where they can wallow and get water which I'll probably feed them into tomorrow so that they find so they fun yeah so I'll get up to the top and I'll just walk over with the feet and they'll follow and bring the Bowser as well just look at them squabbling like little children right anyway job well done perfect thanks Ben all right okay
