    Regarding the fireplace, I believe that there exist special "glass doors" to these old kinds of fireplaces that can replace/be added to the black ones. So you would actually see the fire. These types of old fireplaces are everywhere in sweden and I always thought that it was a shame that one could not see the fire due to the closed doors. I am not 100% sure that they exist, but I vaguely remember that I stumbled upon them on the internet some time ago.

    Put out some extra videos and get the money to fix your fireplace. I live in a huge woodland that i don't own in a 300 year old stone cottage. My fireplace is my number one priority . Rosie it will change everything I promise. It creates such a feeling of sanctuary, magic, safety, warmth and protection. Make it a priority!!!!!! Honestly you will be amazed. I know what it's like on your own, everything is different- different needs. Somethings are so much harder. Somethings are so much easier! Get your fireplace up to the top of your priority list (manifest the money, do some sponsorship - reach out to eco flow etc) and then get your own way of getting wood. I use dead standing trees there's loads and I collect kindling all summer. Self sufficient heat (and water) is a game changer.

    The amount of time it takes to renovate and create these videos is more than a full time job, it's impossible to make more, I don't even manage to get one out every week because there's simply not enough time. I haven't had a day off in ages. They also do not generate that much income so unfortunately the fireplace will have to wait!

    I rally agree with the suggestion of being able to heat your building with firewood. As long as you live in the Swedish forest it must be prio no 1. It will save a lot of cost of electricity as well. I’m sure some nice Swede has an old iron stove that you can get for free.

    Yes. I guess if you have never had a fire you don't understand its importance. Sadly it's another thing we have been brainwashed out of. The system wants us reliant on the system. I never realised how important the woodstove is. Now its my number one priority. Especially as my wood is free I just have to go and process it which is a lot of work but i refuse to buy wood when i live in a woodland. I also have bore hole water which is great but it runs off electric. So if i have a power out. I have no water. Another thing Rosie needs to be mindful of. I would not want to be in Sweden in winter relying purely on electricity to heat that would scare me.

    As a landscaper in Sweden i would really suggest as you have a beautiful field at your torp, to keep the field as a native flower meadow( slåtter äng). It's low maintenance (one a year cutting)and absoulty beautiful to always have something flowering from spring to fall and create habitation for endangered species. Especially good considering the extinction rate for meadow species.

Its an amazing oven.. not ugly rosie.. its practical and presumably works in the environment you are living in? Use it. You will start to love it. Why use an electric heater when you have that which is free to load up? It's a no brainer rosie. You are living in the wild now; not in a flat in London - this is how living in the wild really is; and the stove running constantly in the winter; providing heat and the ability to boil a kettle and cook and keep your home warm is fundamental to the sort of life you are leading now.

    Hoi Rosie, eerst en vooral, diep respect voor wat jij allemaal voor elkaar krijgt, jij bent een van de handigste vrouwen die ik tot nu toe heb zien klussen, ik ben handig en doe ook alles zelf en voel me af en toe wat dat betreft soms een beetje alleen of hoe moet je het uitdrukken, ik ken weinig mensen die ook zo zijn en kijk daarom graag naar veel video’s van mensen zoals jij, die alles zelf maken en ook oude huizen en zelfs kastelen, die weinig meer zijn dan ruïnes, vooral in Frankrijk, restaureren. Nou zijn jouw kijkers hoofdzakelijk uit andere landen dan uit Nederland en kunnen aan jou ook absoluut niet horen dat je er geboren bent door het perfecte engelse taalgebruik. Maar waar ik naar toe wil is, dat in jouw situatie, en ik weet niet of dit al eerder geopperd is, misschien niet omdat wij, dus de Nederlanders, van oudsher een fietsvolkje zijn en vele formen en variaties van tweewielers kennen en berijden. En daarom zomaar een suggestie, zou het voor jou niet een goed idee zijn om een bakfiets aan te schaffen, die zijn er in vele uitvoeringen zoals je zult weten, zowel met twee of drie wielen en het mooiste ook met trap ondersteuning, deze zijn weliswaar wat duurder maar vergeleken met een goede elektrische fiets valt het nog mee, en deze kun je waarschijnlijk, ten minste hier, ook in termijnen betalen. Ik heb geen idee en misschien wel, dat deze in Zweden ook te koop zijn, en misschien wel goedkoper. Ik heb zelf bijv. mijn ONEBOT elektrische vouwfiets online in Polen gekocht voor de helft van de prijs van wat deze in Nederland kost. Jij hebt heel wat kilometers afgelegd op de fiets en bent ook afhankelijk van deze om steeds alles thuis te brengen, wat mij voor jou vaak een behoorlijke opgave lijkt, dus vandaar dat ik zomaar dit idee met jou wou delen. Ik verheug me op alle volgende afleveringen in die prachtige natuur en jouw steeds leuker wordende gezellige huisje en vind het tof dat je dit met ons kijkers wilt delen. Ik wens je daar verder een fijn leven, blijf gezond en heel veel klus plezier gr. Rob Verstuurd vanaf mijn iPad

    I have MASSIVE ADORATION for this young lady! She seems like shes such a sweetheart with a pure & gentle soul. I pray GOD bless her in all her LIFE & JOURNEYS. Shes a MILLION times BRAVER than I am... heck in the City I still get SCARED to walk around ALONE at night by myself and this lil gal goes to a FOREST, PITCHES HER TENT & SLEEPS ALONE......I'M SO AMAZED! THEN she WALKS ALONE IN THE PITCH BLACK DARKNESS GOING THRU THE FOREST FOR 3 HRS JUST TO GET HOME!! I wish this BEAUTIFUL lady all the HAPPINESS, JOY, GOOD LUCK & FAITH for her to KEEP DOING WHAT SHE LOVES :) GOOD LUCK LIL ONE GOD BLESS & STAY WELL & SAFE.

    Aww, sorry to hear that about the chimney. Nice to hear you have a "rörspis" though, that's a really good style of heater to have once you get the chimney going. Swedish classic since the late 1700s! You'll find once it's going it's going to change the entire experience. Not just the fireing itself, but all the work around it. I love going out and chopping firewood for half an hour or so. That birch on your yard will make good firewood, but you kinda need to hurry in getting it split and stapled so it can dry out and not start to rot. Cut and split it and store it off the ground and covered from rain and snow. I like the green too, it's a classic kitchen color. Really fits a kitchen of your style.

You work so hard, and I just hope and pray that someone out there close to you reaches out to you to give you a helping hand in overcoming this dilemma. I just can’t imagine how cold you must get in the winter, and to have this chimney problem fixed am sure would not only make your life so much more enjoyable on those cold dark days, but also give your viewers a lovely warm feeling knowing you’ll be cosy and warm this year. So please if there anyone out there that can fix it for her, you’ll make us all happy. ❤xxx

    The ugly corner is now beautiful. I like your woodstove Rosie, unfortunately not functional at the moment, but try to sand down the rust, and polish it with "spislack". You could ask for quotes of lining your chimney with steelpipe, so you can use the woodburners. It is the cheapest and easiest way to get your chimneys approved. Electricity costs too, so it might be a good solution financially. And remember, your fridge gives out a lot of "free" heat. Do not close it in - to take advantage of the heating it gives. 😊

    Impressive work and a gutsy effort Rosie. As a female high-rise construction and underground mining safety rep adept at the things you are achieving, I feel a duty of care to bring a few things to your attention without sounding like your mother. I am not trying to scare you but to make you aware of certain dangers. I noticed you wore masks, and eye and hearing protection, awesome, but I did notice you not using a mask when cutting the timber. Pine and red cedar can break up as fine as asbestos and can also lie dormant in the lungs, to safeguard yourself please use your mask when cutting or even drilling into the said timber. Talking about using glue, my hubby built my daughter's cot and he glued and screwed it together without checking the dimensions of doorframes, etc. Well to cut a long story short, we removed the window to put the cot into Megan's bedroom. Fun, fun oh yeah nah lol.

    It all looks very lovely, and the feeling of a "Home" should really be there by now. I think that the primary thing now would be to get the chimney fixed, so the stove can be used - it gives a lingering and cozy heat, and saves you on some screaming when the electrical bills arrive during the winter...

    Wow - you're doing a fantasic job with this nice little "torp"/cottage, Rosie 🙂! You're not asking for advice but I just want to tell you that I, many years ago, moved to a place like this but without electricity and water and the first thing I did was to have the chimney restored. That allowed me to get warmth from the "rörspis"/tiled stove and food from cooking on the "vedspis"/kitchen stove 🙂. I never regretted that! A small advice, though, is that you (IF you want to be able to sometimes in the future use your fireplaces), before you built a cupboard close to the kitchen stove check out with your chimney sweep what sort of fireproof material you must use according to our swedish rules - good luck and lot's of love to you!

Great progress on the kitchen with the panelling and ceiling painting. I love that you got a strimmer, your grass will be easier to mow now. The chimney can wait til next year but it should be a priority so that you can have a warm & cosy house. Try getting more sponsors like Jackery and Bluetti who make portable solar generators and other eco products.
