Hi Tara, I'm really glad you're not scared of a "manly" job. My only problem is that I don't see the vision and picture of what you want to build. Do you have a picture or drawing of the pizza oven? Or I had to wait for the finish line 😉 Thank you for sharing. 🙏🏻❤️

@lottie2525 3 месяца назад

It's going so well Tara. Don't you dare worry about what we think of it. You're so kind to allow us into your lives and watch what you're getting up to. If you like it, it's perfect and we like it too. Loving seeing the house extension progression too. John always works around problems so well.

😂😂 Fifi off the cement! Funny fact...my neighbour is currently having a small conservatory built....well I own a cat.... He came in the other evening with ONE PAW with cement all over it... (You can see where this is going), I had to corner my cat and get cement off...and then phoned said neighbour having work done.....the next day she said, Hannah come here... *Goes over* Yep a LONE paw print on the corner of the base for the conservatory 😂 But you know what... Blue will forever be imprinted in the slab...and there will be a day when sadly he will pass...but there will always be the paw print...of Blues..😂

Good morning Tara, I’ve been doing art, crafts, building with wood, laying bricks and tile at different times throughout my 73 years. When ever I am creating something I tend to divide it into three parts. The best, most rewarding part is the process of creating something. For me it’s meditative. I lose my sense of time and what is happening around me. The next two parts are just extra bonuses. 1. I’m personally happy about how it turned out and 2. Others like and appreciate what I have created. The lack of the bonuses doesn’t ever diminish the doing. So I hope you are feeling joy as you build your oven and I know I will appreciate what you have accomplished.

To make it easier to level it & also stronger that it won't topple over, it's best to do a dug out foundation. Any building project needs a solid foundation. I learned that the hard way.

@angelamorrison8634 3 месяца назад

DearTara,I happen to know for a fact that MichaelAngelo while working on his master piece statue of David did not have two little boys hanging around, chickens to feed a vegetable garden to tend to or a partner/husband and family to prepare three meals a day for cleaning the house and doing laundry for three muddy men. However your building creation is taking shape I see, and and I am excited to see it when it is finished. Keep up the wonderful work and so whatever it looks like when it is finished you did it yourself so like Michael Angelo start getting excited as it will be great because you did it your way.

Tara! I can totally relate to that frustration you related to us. As I've gotten older I plan and prepare better but I used to jump in with all of me and then get very frustrated! Just remember that life is a journey and everything you do will be a learning process and one that will teach you for future projects. Also, most anything CAN BE FIXED! Love you and love your desire to begin building and learning to use power tools. I have been using them for only about a year and a half and have built some things I'm really proud of. I have had to toss a few projects as well and I just say, "well, that was a great learning lesson!" Lol, don't take yourself too seriously. Love you!

Don’t worry about what we think my friend…just remember you probably won’t get it right the first time although it looks pretty darn good to me, but the main thing is that you are leaning to do something new and practice makes perfect. It’s a pretty big project for your first try but you will have it to look back on after a few more projects and say Wow I didn’t do so bad for the first time! We love your I can do this attitude so keep on dreaming dreams and making them come true!❤

Hi John, Tara, Crusoe and Sawyer…….an enjoyable vlog thanks. Love to see the ongoing creativity of John and now you Tara……I don’t think you should worry at all about what we viewers think of your garden kitchen build, because you’re giving it a go and that’s what matters. In a few months and for years to come, when you stand there cooking you will be able to smile and say I built this and that what’s important. Ps the grass is looking lush! Best wishes and ❤ Julie 😊

@karentodd4910 3 месяца назад

Tara, the fact that you are prepared to observe John's skills and then have a go yourself is commendable, this is exactly how I learned when I had my finca. There is great joy when you achieve something new for yourself that, let's face it, most people wouldn't attempt themselves. However, long before the joy is the 'learning curve' and it can be steep and off putting but you have a strong will and this adventure will satisfy you beyond your wildest expectations. When you look at those sunrises and sunsets and feel that pulse of joy for your surroundings,take a deep breath of satisfaction and be proud of yourself, you are amazing.

@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414 3 месяца назад

Tara I think you are an amazing human with a wonderful history in Marketing and traveling. Being a mom and sharing the garden, your home ideas, kids, recipes etc. Why on earth are you wanting to extend yourself into the building realm instead of just assisting john in the projects? Where could you possibly get the time and energy to extend yourself further woman? I being a single mom for my 23 year old sons life, I began in a few different industries and ended up becoming someone who bought and restored, rented and created nightly lodging and now trying to move to Europe. I would have given anything to be able to be that homemaker for my son. So as much as you feel you want to extend into the creating projects on the farm no one has that expectation. We miss you sharing your passions, your ideas, your creating of the videos and all that energy that goes into editing. So know we do not have any expectations of you and cheer you on. You don't have to. Just be there for john and john be there for you. It's a kinder world when we have passion for our roles and share them with our kids and hubby family and friends. I admire what you two have created. Crack on girl. YOU GO...we are watching and not judging at all....Gina in Upstate NY finishing my renovation and wishing I could just be a girl LOL moving to Europe...

Thanks Gina! So much great advice and a good question. I think I really enjoy pushing my own limits a bit. I see John doing something and I say, I want to do that too! Sometimes it works out sometimes not. Let’s see. So far I’m enjoying myself mostly, but it’s slow progress! ❤️❤️

The wonderful thing about daring to dream is that we journey through untraveled corridors within our minds. The real courage is found for those who dare to try. So cheers to you for building your outdoor pizza oven. It will be unique and it will be your own.

I’d love to be there helping you Tara! My dad was a stone mason and I’d help him sometimes when I was younger. He said I had a good eye for putting stones together. I applaud your work, it’s not an easy job! Plod on, well done!

Fantastic job guys!!! I am 65 and a hack at building stuff! My dad was amazing jack of all trades. Never be ashamed or frightened of knocking it all over and starting again either! Can’t tell you how many I have! Soldier on ❤❤

I remember my 3 year old son working all morning on pulling up weeds on our allotment. Not just one morning but 2 or 3 ! The allotment was huge . Seeing Crusoe helping you reminded me .K

Dear Newbys, I always feel excited to see another episode. New projects always good for the brain! I live in Washington state, U.S.A....near Portland. It is cold and wet right now. I like it all. Crusoe on the phone was endearing. Thank you for sharing your days with us!

John, Some days you're the top dog; some days you're the fire hydrant. Take heart! You're loved! Tara, I'm impressed. It looks like a stone wall. You've improved from the start of the work. I can see your confidence build with each stone. Don't you dare pull it down! We'll call it, "Tara Spreads her Wings!" Have a good week with your project! I look forward to your progress! Blessed Be to you, John, Caruso and Sawyer! 🍞🍕🍪

I love watching the progress on your farm, as long as you guys like it, that is all you have to worry about! You are already doing a lot with 2 young kids so it's a pleasure to be able to learn and get inspiration from your projects. Thank you for letting us tag along!

Good job Tara. That is quite a lot for beginner skills. Poor John. He just had his moon and stars out of alignment. I'm sure he is better now. Love to all.
