We don't want "amazing". We love seeing the everyday goings on with your family. We love seeing the painting, cooking, playing in snow, etc. Just keep doing what you've been doing. We love the style of your videos. You have such a great family. Your mom amazes me with all she does. When she was on top of that ladder she was my hero. I am terrified of heights and she seemed like it was nothing to her. Anyway, remember, we love all your videos and find all of them a joy to watch.
Quite right Toni. Karolina and her family are a delight to watch.. even just scraping paint. I love the rawness and I hope that never changes. Keep up the good work Karolina and family
You what's funny, the other day she was on the tablet scrolling for a while, sitting on the couch and she said "Karolina you should record this so everyone doesn't think I'm always to productive" 😂💕💕💕
Remember that painting is 80% prep/20% painting. Your videos are awesome as is, don't change anything, I think we come back each time for the authenticity.
I want real, your whole family is amazing at how hard you all work. Children in America have no idea what real work is. Thanks for being so supportive of your family.
Yes, great idea. Then Karolina can maybe try some new recipes and share with us. A once a week video on some of the things they cook would be great and add some extra content. I do love this family.
Your videos ARE perfectly perfect. I'm so glad you're documenting your life for us to enjoy. When you feel less than, you will have video evidence of what a superb person you are. Your abilities astound me. I love this glimpse into your life. Don't worry about it being "amazing", we love your everyday amazing life as you live it.
Exactly, Toni and everyone else that commented. We love you and your family just the way you are, Karolina. I personally love all the little Tid-Bits of videos, the "Hi, this is what I'm doing, bye" clips. I really enjoyed seeing Ozzie and your dad talking on video. We want to see bits of what they are each doing...Ozzie chopping firewood, and painting his miniatures, Dad, and Alfred fixing the door etc.I find it incredibly peaceful watching you cook. You just have a calmness about you. Please never change what you are showing us, or how you are showing us, we love it all.
You have nothing to apologize about . This is what we want ..your real life …you are making memories.I love renovations ..keep them coming . Your cake looked so yummy .
The videos are great as they are. They're real and not staged. So they're perfect. Don't ever apologize for that. We're all here because we love seeing you transform the house into something spectacular!
Please know we love your videos just as they are! Real live renovation. Peeling paint when you least expect it. Many of us have been there and will be there again. Renovation is like that: two steps forward and one step back. That is why you folks are such hero’s in my book. You don’t give up. You keep plugging ahead. You will prevail!!
I would love to hear about your home schooling, you and Ozzy are so skilled, and doing so much stuff, it must come from a brilliant teacher. I love your videos, don't call them boring please, you are a breach of fresh air.
Just want to remind you that this is YOUR video, so it can't be to short or to long, you are not performing a play, you are letting us into your world, so what ever you do is what we watch, you don't have to plan anything, if you wash your hair we watch, if you make dinner we watch. What I'm getting at is you are, and what you do is the video. You are doing just fine and your learning with every video. Bye for now. Good seeing your Father, Mother, Albert, Ozzy and of corse you. Oh yes the dog and cats hi to them as well. LOL 🤗
After scraping, those bathroom walls could use a light sanding and then an oil base primer made for regular paint. I've lived in a house that was built in 1898 and did most of the preparation work on the walls myself. Not easy or quick, but if you do it right it will last a long time.
I too lived in a 300 year old house as we were renovating. We had to scrap and paint everything. We made some interesting discoverys under what was there. Keep your eyes open, it is fun.
@@biddiemutter3481 I agree. Please think about putting dust masks on your wish list. I'm very concerned on a previous video when your Mom and Alfred were all white in the face breathing all that fine dust. Also painter's overalls or coveralls so you and your family save your good clothes.
No oil-based paint on walls in central Europe, that's asking for trouble. Especially in a farm house with most likely dubious damp-proofing. I'd use mineral paint, it's breathable, easy to use and should work fairly well.
I love to see Pippin,he is so adorable. Do you still have the kittens? …yes…watching the video, I see the cats! I’m so excited to know you are having your plumbing installed soon….and hot showers!! Yay! Your mom is always smiling & is an incredible woman ! I love Ozzie’s tree ornaments! They are going to be perfect! Please let Ozzie & mom put things on the wish list for Christmas!….please! That would make us so very happy!!! It was nice to see your dad on the video…even if it was just for a short minute. We want to know your whole family! Merry Christmas to all!
Yep kittens are still here but they are pooping not in the litter box but everywhere else. Because especially in the big room, it's dirt on the floor at the moment, so the cats think that nest for there poop. And yeah it's not easy and mums considering having them move outside somewere, we'd still feed them ofcorse!!!! 💕💕💕Hope your doing fabulous
@@handcraftedhomestead255 try locking them in a room for a bit with the litter box, place some old poop in it and put them in it several times a day to sniff it and hopefully they’ll get the idea.
@@handcraftedhomestead255 If the cats have a place where they can go in for shelter and varm , they can fine be out site, and they catch mice and you feed them also, it would be fine. Then just spay or neuter them when they get older, so you do not end up with double so many cats' yikes hehe 🤩 if you prefer the cats indoors then what Lisa Trahan said above would be so fine to do.
This is great footage. Setbacks will happen when renovating. Just a suggestion but maybe let the camera run while your Dad and Alfred are doing things, or what your Mom is doing. It may seem boring or not exciting as you think your viewers would like but these kinds of contents are so good to see because it gives us perspective of what you are going through. For example painting and having to stop to scrape off the old paint. I love that you included that. Please let us know how long it took you to scrape off the entire bathroom walls. You and your family are doing such an amazing job at renovating your house and putting your stamp in it to make it a home. It's also really fun to see Ozzie painting his wooden people from the previous videos. Remember that your original goal is to document your family renovating your house - don't lose sight of that. The viewers are here to see what the goings on are of your renovation - when you go to the store, down time (like when you take breaks from renovating, snowball fights - so much fun to see all of you having a good time, etc.), the changing seasons and how it affects your renovation, delays such as finding a new plumber or the unexpected like the kittens. When the house is finally done, I hope the videos will remind your family of all the hard work, what it was like before (so don't forget to take videos and photos of before and after shots), remembering the fun and excitement, the frustrations, and the satisfaction of seeing the finished product however long it takes you. And along the way you shared it with us (your viewers)!🥰
A day in the life of a young adult in the Czech Republic countryside is so refreshing.The simplicity of times gone by in America I so do miss. Thank you for sharing your story. Love love love it.
I believe what Toni Leigh has said it best,,,please just be you ,,,,and good work with your editing .Your family is wonderful, Sending much love always to you all ✨❣️✨🙏🌟
This video was wonderful. We really do want the the not exciting day to day. You made it plenty fun with the getting ready to paint scene. Your videos are perfect. I liked seeing the small progressions. The slower pace of winter is on spot for all of us. Keep it up. Your determination with every project you work on is inspiring. Your added humor ( I hate you wall) is very much enjoyed. You .. are.. a ...joy.
Your videos are such a breath of fresh air! Don't worry about being amazing content, we love the simple normal things that show the true side of diy. Good job, you're all working very hard 👍 Happy Holidays❄⛄
I love seeing how things are progressing; all the veryday bits and peices. I have lived rough off and on for years of my life. The thing I always miss the most is hot running water and showers! I can cope with anything else but man do I miss that!
When I was growing up, we had hot oatmeal for breakfast every morning! I think adding oatmeal to your wish list was a good choice! Your videos are great!
Wow! Well done Karolina for scraping all that paint off, WHAT a job. But the new paint will look great thanks to your hard work . Wonderful Madeleines, you are a great cook. ALL your videos are so interesting and fun and enjoyable, please don t worry,about the content, it s great! That s why everyone loves your videos. I do hope the plumber fixes up everything for you all, it will feel wonderful to have a shower, hot water, and a kitchen sink with running water. I always think of you washing up, and having to heat the water first etc. I know what it s like, we did up our house in France ourselves, and I can remember sitting in bed, and I could see through to the other side of the house, as we had taken most of the inside walls out to re build them! Piles of rubble where the bathroom used to be! But then it makes you really appreciate hot, running water. You do everything with a smile Karolina, and I just love watching you all. Love to you all.
Greetings from Latin America, do not worry if your videos do not have a thousand things. We follow you because we love your videos and the things your mom, dad, and siblings do and do. Because we love to see you doing something to live better. If you want to sit down with a cup of coffee and chat with us and do nothing else in a video, we would still consider it great and fantastic. Do what you can, what makes you happy and what you want. So you make us happy. See you next week ... A Venezuelan hug. 🤩
Don't stress. We just enjoy watching the simple things. There is a young couple I watch on RU-vid also. They actually live somewhere in my area. But watching them as they started out from pre-beginning living of grid, building their own place, and now two babies in tow. The simple things. Never underestimate the simple things. Thanks for picking up the camera and sharing.
I have truly, never seen ANYONE eat the quantity of oatmeal you do! That's such a good , healthy thing to do!,I hope you never tire of it! Most young people eat boxed cereals that are 50% sugar! Please tell Ozzy that I like his little tree ornaments, he did a good job. Hope to see a Christmas video. I like to see how you celebrate . Merry Christmas!
I love love your videos every time I see you upload I get super excited. I was wanting to go home and snuggle up in bed and watch. Your family and you are wonderful!! Your content is amazing! Keep it up, I’ll always be here watching ❤️
Karolina, you're doing great! Love the snow! It's 70 here in North Little Rock, Arkansas, USA. I love that you cook! I taught my boys to cook when they were young. I told them , they better learn as Momma won't always be there to do for them.
I love your videos! They always make me laugh and your family and you oh such amazing and wonderful people. I enjoy spending the day with you all! Bless you from Washington state in the beautiful Pacific Northwest USA
It is amazing!!! You are one wonderfully amazing good girl. Your entire family is just great!!! Very, very good people!!! 🌞The world needs people like you. It is so important to be able to do things by our own hands. Especially in these times. All respect and heart support to you and warm greetings from our family! ❤🌞
We are so Blessed that you and yours share y'all's lives with us. I truly enjoy each and every one of your videos! I've been trying to order things off your Amazon wishlist (even called Amazon directly) and can not figure out how to from my US Amazon account, where I live. I'm so sorry and I'm so sad nobody can help me figure it out! Just know I've not giving up and will keep trying for you and yours!! Many Blessings and many hugs. Cheers from Texas....And always.... ALWAYS, YOU do YOU! That's what we love about y'all..!!!!
The list is under RENO #8. I was finally able to purchase an item. Prior I either got alerts of 'out of stock or 'you are out of seller's range. You just have to keep trying .
This was rather satisfying and curiously interesting to see a family pulling together on a home project. The Penetration coat appeared to be a moisture sealant. Usually takes two to three coats to be effective since it is water based, also placed upon a pre-existing paint coat it will cause the colored paint to peel. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
I was just wondering: what is that penetrating thing? I have never heard about it. I love your updates. Just film everything - it's interesting to see how you do your renovation 😊
I agree with Toni Leigh. Keep doing what your doing. I’m amazed at you a 16 y/o that has the knowledge that you do on cooking and whatever you do to help your parents. They have done you and your brothers a huge favor in the way they raised you. Learning from those that have been there, done that is one of the best lessons learned. I’m a Grammy of 9 and I’m always happy to listen to those who have been around the sun more times than myself. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Keep up the good work! You matter to us. We love you all!♥️🎄☃️🎁
Your doing an amazing job. So wonderful that you all will finally have a working bathroom with running hot water soon. The videos are great! Keep up the awesome work. ☃️ Merry Christmas 🎄
I loved that this video showcased all of you. You have me eating oats again, I got out of the habit. You also encourage me to keep going on my own house. See what a great influence you are.
Your videos are actually amazing. You are like a breath of fresh air, with how natural you are. Much better than all the fake drama and self important stuff that you usually find on RU-vid. Please don't change a thing. I love you and your family, and the way you all work together for the common good. Looking forward to the next instalment.
You and your family are all amazing in what you do.Your doing a great job on the videos and look forward to them.Please keep sharing .Your a great help to your family. You can do so many things..Your kittens are growing up.Have a great day .
I was having a super hard day looking after my very sick mother and i needed a break. I fired up the laptop and made myself a cup of tea and then saw you had posted a new vlog - super excited! I know you keep thinking that your vlogs are not great but they are and i always smile, laugh and feel uplifted by them. Thank you for making my hard day a whole lot better. I have a smile on my face, i feel calm and relaxed and that is what you bring to us all when we watch you and your family rennovate, cook, play and laugh. The animals are a bonus. So in my humble opinion you are doing an amazing thing with your vlogs and i hope that you continue. Please would you consider putting your madeleine recipe in the description because theylook so yummy. I hope you have a good day and when you are finally having a shower in your newly decorated bathroom you will feel so wonderful! Christmas is so close now and i hope that you have running hot water soon :)
Thank you for letting us be a part of your real life. I like to see you and your family doing the normal things day in day out. It´s so wonderful how you are dealing with each other. Everybody is helping to create your new home and make it comfortable. You spread a lot of positive energy to us. Carry on doing your videos. They are so inspiring. Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany. 👍 👍 👍
Ozzy, Congatulations! So few tree trunks now to chop! Great work by you, your Ma, your eldest brother too... you're all ready to make a big blaze this winter!!!
I love your videos and how you show your personality and have fun with them, they always make me smile. Painting suit with a kitten on your shoulder was super funny!
It doesn't matter how you're videos turn out watching you and you're family build you're home together each one of you putting your special touches into it is what makes you're videos so entertaining, no matter what happens don't loose your joy, God Bless you and you're family, 🙏
A lot of prepping walls first, otherwise the paint will peel off with steam.. scrape, sand, primer paint then paint.... it will last a long time then, they say if you do the job the right way the first time it will work out.. Happy prepping Karolina 😂😂👍
I love your videos because you guys are fun and you're doing something I'd love to do. Your family working together is very cool. Some of my favorite homesteading youtubers make it a point to be very family centric in how the build and grow and it's great to see everyone's strengths.
Good video. Love the snow and Pippin running around. Cookies and cake look so Delecious. I know you cannot wait for bathroom. That is a luxury item. Good luck on the paint. Hello to you and your family from Texas. Enjoyed the Music. Thanks, Donna
Karolina, your videos are always great, so don't worry about them. Just keep them going. Sorry the paint had to act stupid and make you have to scrape it off. Yes, your Mom is precious, is raising precious children who are able to do extremely helpful things and willing to do them. Was nice to get a few words from your Dad. Always love watching you cook the delicious looking delights. Take care and the kittens are adorable. Janice from Arkansas USA Just a little addition, your brother's tree ornaments are wonderful!
We’re renovating our home slowly. It’s a long tedious process. I felt your frustration at those walls. I’m so sorry. I would probably have cried 😭, and then had a good frustrated laugh, because what can you do? You’re doing a great job helping.
Please do not worry if your content is amazing! We enjoy watching your day to day life with your family and endless projects. Merry Christmas to you all!
NO APOLOGIES!! Your videos are wonderful!! Very real, true to life!! Love you, and your personality!! Love how your family all just works together! ❤ And you and Ozzy seem to have a really good relationship for siblings, he's cute for a little brother! You have a great day!! 👍 Thank you for sharing!!
I'm in the states 🇺🇲 and I can't view your Amazon wish list 😭 I wanted to send you something! You are doing a great job with your videos and all your hard work!
Your videos are interesting, we love seeing your family work together on this project. I see someone addressed the old paint being a different type, oil or water based. I can never remember but think it's latex over oil peels. I'm more concerned that the old paint might be lead paint although that is a more contemporary color. The mask for any type dust protects your lungs. When you were in the old chicken house, I should have said something.
Yes! I was so happy to see a new video! I’ve never subscribed to a channel where I literally couldn’t wait for a new video. Just this one!❤️ We enjoy anything and everything you share Karolina! I loved the cat on your shoulder! So funny!🤣
Don't change a thing we love your authenticity and your videos are interesting and honest. I love watching you and your family turning this house into a home. I bet you can't wait to get the bathroom done and have a warm shower!!!
This video is great! I love watching you and your family simply do everyday things. I especially loved the shot of your "Precious Mama." It made me cry. My precious Mama went home to Heaven to be with Jesus, just a few months ago. She was almost 97. Your mama reminds me of her in that she just does what needs to be done to care for her family. I enjoy your videos very much.
Karolina we love you, Ozzie, your mom, dad and Alfred! We love seeing a family together and loving each other, teasing , having fun and laughing. Believe me when I say there are PLENTY of showy videos if you want to watch but your family is truly a living family which is very hard to find sometimes in the world. I miss my grandparents and how they worked and we worked beside them. You are amazing to us and please vlog all you can because we are checking everyday just for an update. You have captured our hearts! We love you! Have a blessed and bountiful Christmas. One more thing if I was getting running water and a shower I would go around doing Ozzies YAHOOOOO! all day long!😁🎄
Oh my goodness when you showed your momma and you called her "precious momma" that was so sweet 🥲 my sisters and I buried our momma in 2020...I miss her 🥰Make all the memories you can! Your videos make me smile 😊 Can't wait for the next one! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁🎅🏻🧑🏻🎄♥️
