It's been one year living here! Happy anniversary to us.
Thank you all for your support and kindness since the big move to Central QLD. I love that you guys aren't shy to come say hello when Denis and I are out and about in town.
I do apologise for not responding to your comments, I do appreciate the kind ones and thank you for making the effort to write comments.
We love our home here and have adjusted and settled in nicely. It is hard to leave our friends and family but we do visit often and stay in touch.
Denis and I have worked very hard to accomplish everything we've done so far and thank those who have helped here and there.
Not only did we move but we had lots going on in our lives in general and helping others out too. So we're exhausted but still motivated to keep enriching our existence.
I'm amazed looking back over the footage to see that it was so green when we arrive at our property and now it's so very dry right now and still waiting for consistent rain to fill our tanks again and green our land considering we are looking after livestock now. (not ours but I wish they were)
Let me know what you think. Have we done much in one year? And what do you think we will work on next?
Thanks again for your support and love
Brooke and Denis

Well done, you should be proud of what you've achieved.

@Dave-ss5pk 11 месяцев назад

Looks Awesome Brooke... You and hubby have done an amazing job getting that property in great shape. You will be self sufficient with vegetables and fruit and your own cattle. You just need some chooks for some fresh eggs. Much LOVE Dave

From one bush person to another, cant wait to see what your country looks like after the first few rains. Old bush saying for you, "First rains on dry country smells like nectar from the gods"✌

@helenh20mo 11 месяцев назад

Good on you guys, I moved to Queensland 20 years ago after being trapped in suburbia.. I love the freedom of being up here... the weather can be exciting at times .. being self sufficient is my dream we are not there yet . You guys have done so well, you have youth on your side.

@kayenash5481 11 месяцев назад

Love the shed that's an awsome job!

@cherylemaybury9967 11 месяцев назад

You have accomplished so much in such a short time. You should be proud of yourself. It’s coming together so quickly. It might be a hot dry summer this year though.

@HGCUPCAKES 11 месяцев назад

It’s El Niño this year, typical four year weather pattern. It’s going to be hot, dry and in some places very wet. Best time to prepare, is now!

@woghole2360 11 месяцев назад

Great video it gives us better idea of what you guys have achieved over the year. You go to admit the old house has some real character to it now.

@evil17 11 месяцев назад

Happy Anniversary guy’s, the place is looking great, well done.

@frankoconnor7309 11 месяцев назад

You two are weapons. Incredible what you have achieved together.

@lindab424 11 месяцев назад

Wow so I have been subscribed to your channel for a year now. The first video of yours that I ever watched was the one where you moved. I have seen very video since and love watching you turn that unloved property into your home. Well done and congrats on your first anniversary in your new home.

@OliverMisha 11 месяцев назад

Hi Brooke A lot of people talk about making the shift but rarely do they follow through. Its tough going but the rewards are only limited by what you are willing to invest of yourselves and clearly you are both ‘all in’. I think what you are doing represents such a genuine pioneering spirit and a willingness to work hard for the things you want. The sense of achievement must be amazing and you deserve every success. Thank you for sharing. D.

@Wes777goldmbr777 11 месяцев назад

Coming along really well you two. Just with the tanks I noticed something maybe your not aware of. If they are joined together, they both have to be level, as it ends up being a big water level. So the higher one, will only fill up to the height of the top of the lower one if that makes sense, the rest will go out the overflow. So both pads need to be on the same height / level rather than staggered. I have two on a similar setup I joined and one would never fill up and a water truck guy explained it to me, obvious really. But I always had a couple of feet empty in the top tank. So it would be worth while, creating a second level pad, emptying the bottom tank and moving it, if you want additional water. I found our place in Gympie / Curra average we had 2 X 18000 litre tanks and there was only two of us and I'd get about a year and a half without rain. But you sort of need two tanks if you shower a lot etc I find I shower sometimes 3 times a day when it's hot or if I've been mowing etc. Anyways great work, shed looks great also. Wes (Hervey bay)

Aussie's haven a crack! Bloody love this! ❤

@ApprenticeGM 11 месяцев назад

Guys good on you getting in and having a red-hot crack! One tip to improve your floor rolling of paint, do an X or W pattern first, then come back with vertical strokes to spread it. It makes the coverage much more consistent than doing vertical strokes L-R or R-L as you were doing on the house floor or in the shed. Look forward to seeing more progress! I also like you aren't scared of touching diamond pythons (and don't blame you for not touching browns, I dislike brown snakes myself). Have fun!

@marianthewriter6727 11 месяцев назад

I stumbled upon your channel today! Wow, you have done so much already. Your Queenslander looks so nice now. Any chance of keeping it, sprucing up the outside and maybe put a wrap around verandah on all sides? Would be great for shade and more living space. I can really see your beautiful highset renovated Queenslander catching those sunsets and breezes, surrounded by shady fruit trees. Well done!

Been watching you from when you left the coast, and really loved everything you both have achieved. Can’t believe how fabulous your gardens have produced. Nearly Xmas time again and hope you get to chill out with family and friends and enjoy all your hard work thus far. I recon some downtime will be well earned. Thanks for always sharing your lifestyle with us. ❤

Wow! Lot's of work! Great job. Proud of yall. Question... how did you do your kitchen counter top? Is it finished plywood? Planning our retirement home and the theme is economy and simplicity. Granite counter tops look great!..... in someone else's house.

@craig1lengyel 11 месяцев назад

Its a nice property but i could not handle the snakes!

@krh007 11 месяцев назад

Wow!!! you guys have come a long way since i watched you move into a run down mess. Hard work is starting to really starting to show now and imagine what it will be like in another years time. Of interest what was the products you applied on the shed floor? The grey coating where the boat is parked - brand & product name & cost (i assume it is a polyurethane) and the black product with flakes (assume it is a epoxy of some sort) brand & product name? . The reason i ask is i want to seal both my double garage and my larger workshop at the rear which has a hoist.

@stephenbachman132 11 месяцев назад

@dragandobras2045 11 месяцев назад

Hi, what product did you use on the shed floor?

@HookedOnBrooke 11 месяцев назад

Epoxy and polyurethane

@InJusticeAustralia 10 месяцев назад

constructive criticism… that music was so painful it put me off watching… 😢

@nivid01 11 месяцев назад

Nice views, but I am not sure why you would use black epoxy on the floor of the shed to show up the dirt, dust, and to make the lovely shed look dark! Hmm, fluffy mat around the toilet bowl. You clearly don’t understand about the peeing deficiencies of a male even with his best intentions! That mat is going to be soiled and unhygienic in 3 secs flat!!!
