DIY #18 – Restoring my pond, part 2

Back at the pond, cleaning up around the perimeter and draining most of the water. I also take a quick look at the pump and filter I bought (many years ago) for this restoration.

Thanks for watching! If you like the video, please punch that agree thumb, and consider subscribing if you want to see if I actually manage to get all the frogs and newts out of the pond.

Quick Tip #13 – Put your paintbrush in a plastic bag

You’d be surprised for how long the paintbrush will stay absolutely fine if the bag is properly sealed. I always save any zip lock bag I can and this is a perfect use for them.

VLOG – 2024

No, I can’t see into the future. This is the VLOG for week 24, hence the name. Also, a VLOG! It was ages ago since I posted one of these, but this content didn’t really justify a “proper” video so here we are.

The bees will stay with me for 4-6 weeks while my brother and his wife gets the foundation for the addition to their house done. I have been considering getting bees of my own but time doesn’t really allow for that so this is the second best option I guess.

I only crack one bee-related pun in the video, so if for nothing else, I deserve a thumbs up for my restraint. I’ll post more videos, probably in a VLOG format, about the bees – and more – so don’t forget to subscribe.

Thanks for watching!

DIY #17 – Replacing my fence

After I moved to this property over ten years ago I built a lot of things without really knowing what I was doing, which in turn gave me plenty of opportunities to learn from experience.

This fence is a great example of one of those projects. As the video clearly shows, it’s in dire need of being replaced. And if you watch the rest of the video, you’ll se me – and my brother – replace it.

If you like the video then please like the like like, and perhaps even consider subscribing to see what else I couldn’t build properly many years ago.

DIY #16 – Painting pet monsters

This project is roughly 3 years old, but I really like it so I decided to do what I could with the pretty rough footage I had lying around.

It’s a mix of time lapses, cross fades and real time footage, with minimal commentary. It’s not meant as an instructional video, but hopefully you’ll find it interesting to see the progress.

MISC #17 – First drive in 29 years with classic rally Saab (subtitles)

This is a short and rough video, as I never actually meant to film this ride. I provide a lot more context in the intro of the video.

Hopefully I’ll have more of this wonderful car further down the road (pun very much intended).

DIY # 15 – Keeping Magoo Jr. on the straight and narrow

My robo mower Magoo Jr. is as seen in a previous video fond of digging up my lawn when things doesn’t go his way.

To be fair, my garden is somewhat challenging for a robo mower so I decided to help him tackle the slope he has the most problems with.

In the end, I managed to keep him from digging more holes and out of the border. Great success! Sort of…

DIY #14 – Helping my niece learn the alphabet, part 2

Vera, my niece, watches a lot of YouTube channels in English which ultimately is a good thing, as she learns English alongside Swedish, but it gives her problems learning the alphabet.

My brother jokingly told me that it was up to me, as her godfather, to help her learn the alphabet, so of course I built her something out of cheap insulation, old wood and a discarded curtain.

This is the “thrilling” “conclusion” to the previous installment in the series.

If you like the video, please hit that thumbs up and maybe subscribe to the channel, and if you didn’t like it, give it a thumbs down. None the less, thanks for watching!
