It may seem like a mistake with the fireplace but you will be so glad you did it. Your conversation with Man Shwoo was so sweet🥰
-
Just keep telling yourself how beautiful the fireplace is going to be upon completion and how cozy it is. You keep going, girl!❤💪⚒️
-
You are very brave to attempt the fireplace restoration. It’s so much work but I think you would have always regretted it if you hadn’t tried. You’re an inspiration! Thanks.
-
Being the perfectionist you are makes your job so much harder. But gives you an excellent result.

My husband said that the big, thick cement looking side is the Firebox. Don't remove that. I'm sure you know, but I wouldn't have! I'm loving the renovation! I can't wait till you paint. It's going to be stunning!

You will make the fireplace look amazing Alex! The door and shutters are looking great! Thank you ladies for the video!☺️💐💐🫶🏻

Alex, when you are scooping out the small bits and debris you put it on the floor and then you have to sweep it all up to clean. A suggestion would be to have a bucket at your side for the small bits, then you could just dump it later and save yourself a few extra clean up steps. Love watching your progress, I think you are very brave to keep going!

I have full confidence in your capable abilities Alex. Your regret at starting the task as you mentioned doesnt show. You are doing extremely well. Im rooting for you Alex as I bet your mum is too. Thanks for sharing again

I literally thought I was the only person who though that the music was Alex singing and then I see * saying it's not her and I was soo shocked that in fact is not her.😂 much ❤ guys
-
Thank you for sharing all your hard work and your work in progress too. I can't wait to see what the fireplace looks like restored!! ❤ I love your working relationship with your Ma. You both truly are amazing women!

I'm so glad that you are making the Lost Tower diary videos I love them so much and I can't wait to see your fireplace finish

It’s wonderful having animals around. They bring joy. And not forgetting Roberto and James😆 our amazing mowers.
-
Good job on the restoration of those doors, Alex, your room will look absolutely gorgeous when it is completed. Mocking the shrew is a hoot!😂...I do the same thing with my roos, its a communication between human and animal 😂😂...thank you ❤
-
I have concerns too about that dark green— i’m afraid you will tired of it pretty quickly. It will also, in spite of that glorious window, make your room seem very dark. I love seeing all of your adventures both on the house and on your mud larking —keep it up!
-
Take heart in the end the fire place project will look great. At least it stopped raining.
-
I think it will be SO beautiful & well worth it in the end!

You don't do things by halves. I once set myself on fire with a jackhammer. It wasn't deliberate so be careful to not block its vent. Thank you for uploading.
