TWO YEARS I spent my savings on this old Swedish cabin and did this...

I've been a carpenter for 25+ years and I must say that for someone with no previous experience, you did a marvelous job especially considering you had no vehicle other than your bike and trailer. Bravo.

Just stumbled across this video and your channel. I’ve never been more proud of someone I’ve never met! I love the greenhouse, the ceiling in the guesthouse and the library area. Your woodworking is ace and so is your determination.

BRA - VO young lady!!! I'm a seasoned builder of 40 years, have built three houses, and what you accomplished here is nothing short of heroic!!! What courage, resolve, inventiveness, grit, ingenuity, sensitivity, passion you have! You've managed to make me feel proud of you!!! ...and I want to come build a place of my own and be your neighbor...but I think I'd get me a truck 😃

I really cannot believe you had no woodworking experience. You are beyond amazing. One of my favourite things is how you cycled for 3 days to fetch stuff. It's sonrefeeshing to see someone without a car. We did something very similar, loving to the middle of nowhere. It's exciting, exhausting and just so creatively expansive. Yoh have done such an incredible job. Glad I found this channel.

It’s so amazing to me that you took a cabin that really had massive issues and without any experience you’ve made a liveable space. Could I live without an indoor shower? No. Am an astounded you can? Yes! You’re an inspiration ❤

And what a journey it’s been :) and what a privilege us viewers have had getting to follow along

The fact that she did this all on her own is truly inspiring, well done for doing such an ambitious task!!!

My husband and I bought bare land at 70. It has been difficult for us, but what you have accomplished is unbelievable. You are one brave, talented individual. Blessings...

You’re proving your grit. Making improvements steadily even with obstacles that would stop many people. So impressed by you.

I hope that the process of editing together all this footage made you proud of all the work you've done. It doesn't matter if you are not a master carpenter, you are making a lovely home the way you want and have the satisfaction that you have done almost every bit of the work alone. Congratulations!

A grown man got in tears. How inspiring this is.

WOW. I can honestly say this was the most exciting 24 minutes and 35 seconds I’ve enjoyed in a long time. This was an absolutely amazing, gripping, beautiful video. I am ridiculously impressed by your grit and determination, your mental strength and your ability to “learn as you go.” It really was a beautiful video diary. Thank you so very much for sharing. I’m so excited to what comes next. I’m so happy YouTube “suggested” you. I’m subscribing. xxx

I just didn’t realize the incredible amount of work you had accomplished. It’s different seeing a video from start to finish instead of a little here and a little there. This kind of accomplishment must be life changing. It’s truly lovely.

I cannot believe you have achieved so much especially in the first 12 months! Your parents should be so proud of their parenting skills to have raised a child who can believe in herself to take on, and attain, such a project! Cycling 35 km to fetch building supplies- what a woman!

As commented by many others I'm flabbergasted by how much of a bold step it is to move to a different country and buying a renovation object to fulfill this dream of being close to nature and such serenity. As someone who has learned not only to live but thrive alone in my space this is hugely inspiring. Thank you <3

You're blessed to still have your parents around. I have friends who rely on their parents at 40+ age and I know it's my personal experience. Lost my Mother at age 9, then my Father at 12. My maternal grandparents kept me for a year before their health was deteriorating. Then off to my paternal Grandmother who was the light of my life. She came from a farmer's hard-working background, sewed, made quilts, gardened, canned, and was frugal. It served me well. She saved all my Social Security checks and when I graduated high school 🏫 added my name to the account. I had 2 scholarships plus social security and went to college. First junior then State. I came so close to being part of a system, yet by all grace from our universe became not only independent but grateful. ❤

I'm just some random middle-aged woman on the other side of the ocean from you, but I'm so proud of your progress and growth. You've become so much more confident and skilled since those early days, and your little corner of the world is progressing beautifully. I'm going to make a pot of chai tea and toast your successes. Can't wait to see what comes next!

Dear Rosie, I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished! I have been following since the very beginning (watching you visit all the potential properties and waiting for updates about which one would finally be "the one") It has been so exciting and truly inspiring watching your skills and confidence grow, seeing you solve problems in such original or totally crazy or utterly sensible ways. I have been so pleased to see your channel grow and you deserve all the best! Congratulations!

I would agree with others I really admire what you took on here and your parents. How brave you have been. How talented you are too. Just amazing.

It’s been my dream for so long, to do up a cabin like yours, surrounded by beautiful nature (not sure I could handle the cold like you do). I found your video so incredibly inspiring! Thanks for sharing your story. You’ve made me feel like my dream is possible again 💖🙌💖
