It's full speed ahead here at the cottage. Meanwhile, more problems on one of the farms on the estate - how will we fix it this time?!

OMG! Julie's energy and commitment are awesome!

@sharronandrews7675 Год назад

You are a brave girl Julie. I know you like cold water plunges, but I must admit, I have a hard time watching you. And you were in the pool for much longer than I expected for mid November! I am enjoying the progress on the cottage and look forward to the next part of the story. Let’s hope you all have a disaster free week coming up! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Lovely to see progress on the cottage . As always great to hear your banter 😊😊

@lindaokeefe4526 Год назад

I am sure that fairytale cottage is going to be AMAZING! I cannot wait to see what you've chosen for the kitchen and bathrooms. I was wondering if you've ever shown us a map of Mapperton because it would be wonderful to understand more fully the lay of the land. The amount of work you are doing is INCREDIBLE! I just saw on American Viscountess Patreon account that you visited with Historic Homes in London and may be making some future plans. It is so exciting that all this effort is paying off! Great job, Julie and Luke!

@hennarosenthal Год назад

I think the renovation of the Keeper’s Cottage has been my favourite project so far. I especially appreciated the cost comparison of refinishing the cast iron bath versus buying new. With limited funding and tight budgets, fiduciary finagling is the way to go!

Julie- I would love to know more about your energizing daily routine- coffee vs tea, when do you yoga?, cold water plunges, nutritional approaches, etc. I’m on a path myself of restoring my energy and would love to hear what works for you if that sort of video sounds interesting to you at all 😊 Thank you for all the content you’ve made. Absolutely love Mapperton and your sister channel too!

@kathyk479 Год назад

Maybe because the pool is so big you could use a few more planters on the other side of the pool!? The plant islands make the pool look so lovely!

@c.r.p.968 Год назад

You might try helping to clean the water in the pool by using biochar, which you absolutely can create with all the biomass on your estate. Once created, by burning organic material in an oxygen starved environment (pyrolysis), you crush it up, place it in a mesh bag and submerge it under the water. It absorbs the excess nutrients, like the charcoal filter in an aquarium. Then the charged biochar makes an excellent fertilizer, sequestering the carbon that was causing the cloudiness in the pool. Full circle sustainability!

@Waffles84 Год назад

This is what I love ❤️ about you and Luke. Both of you are so amazing with each other and help out together in tasks around the estate. He is so supportive of you and your projects. You however, are so tied to preserving the history and maintenance of this property in doing so much work , personally , where others would not lift a finger to do so. Thank you so much for teaching us about the history and traditions and importance of this beautiful estate 🏡. Your enthusiasm is inspiring and keeps me motivated to continue to watch and learn about historical properties and traditions from years ago and why it is important to preserve the standards of that time. Wishing you, Luke and the entire family a wonderful Thanksgiving from North Carolina in the USA 🇺🇸, knowing where you are is not the same. But, an incredible holiday season to all of you and the crew as well!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

The problem for me is that I have to use the subtitles/captions they are so awful, pathetic and laughable (if I haven't already become too angry and already stopped caring) Now I don't want to feel this way about your videos, I love everything you do but I was wondering if you have any way you could do something about this. You have your transcribers, is that something you could ask them for help with? Please help me. btw.. I love John ❤

@debbiewood7718 Год назад

It might be too late but if not, consider adding insulation in the stud wall. It will deaden the sound between the two bathrooms. Sound transfer could be a bit awkward if it is two couples renting the cottage.

@littleskittles7733 Год назад

With a shared window between the main and en-suite bathrooms, I don't think there is any hope of soundproofing between those two rooms...unless they install a wall break on the window sill.

@debbiewood7718 Год назад

@rosita3671 Год назад

So happy to have been led to your Awesome home, Mapperton Manor. There are so many interesting moments in each vlog, I so enjoy watching how you and Luke come about maneuvering the daily work with challenges that come up from one moment to the next. In this video you’re busy refurbishing an old bathtub. Somehow I missed the products you are using to remove stains. Could you kindly mention what worked for you…I too am in desperate need to remove bath stains… I’m grateful in advance for your efforts. I was blessed to live in Surrey, England for 14 years. The Royal Horticultural Society, Wisley Gardens was ‘a hop and a skip’ from my house. There I learnt so much about gardening , visiting Wisley nearly every free moment, whilst I ran a Bed and Breakfast. Life changed and I now live in Washington State, USA. So looking forward to seeing the fairy 🧚🏻‍♂️ cottage🧚‍♀️ garden in full bloom. ✨

Old infrastructure like plumbing makes me wonder if America is starting to have the same problems in our aging infrastructure. Juxtaposed to other modern countries who have built their infrastructure in the later part of the 20th Century, America’s infrastructure is starting to look dated as well. Operatinons and Maintenance costs are climbing all over the country.

What is the difference between manor, mansion, hall, abbey, park, castle, palace and house? There may be other variations of these terms that I can't think of, off the cuff.

There is a Polar Bear swim on New Year's day in Halifax Harbour They are in and then out tout sweet. No fuss.

I love that Julie jumps in and gets dirty to do these job. When I bought my house I could only afford a fixer upper. Friends taught me how to do almost everything from drywalling to electrical. So thankful to them for doing so. This was way before there was the internet to learn how. There is a feeling of empowerment when women do this kind of work when they were not raised doing them. Julie makes me smile because she reminds me of how enthusiastic and proud I was to do this stuff.

@nizethpretorius2400 Год назад

My friend has a huge koipond that is absolutely clear. He has flowerboxes filled with small stones with beautiful flowers but also veggies planted in the stones. He filters the water of the pond through these flowerboxes continuously. Each box then spouts back into the pond looking like water features. Each box has a tap that can be shut in case you need to to some maintenance. The flowers grow like crazy and the water is filtered by the roots. Standing water is the problem. Your root system just need circulation added. Good luck.

A point of clarification is required: the titles you mention are titles of the nobility (e.g. Marquis/Marchioness). Whether or not the individual is royal (as in Duke vs. Royal Duke) is another matter entirely. Your family’s titles are noble rather than royal, I believe. Notwithstanding that, your videos are delightful.

The land of the American Midwest is so homogeneous and the population density so low that the region is more conducive to megalithy than to expertise, and anyone who can teach those of us from here a new skill and how to effect it at least passably well is treated like a personal guru or sage here. I hope no one thinks she's being insincere or patronizing when she refers to herself as his apprentice despite the difference in status. It's very much a Midwestern way of showing gratitude for the education we're receiving. I hope no one takes it amiss.
