#13 We Built Our Own Interior Walls!

This first phase of rebuilding has been the hardest so far.

We had to adapt physically, face the freezing winter, and learn many new skills from scratch.

It hasn’t always been easy, but every challenge taught us something new. Slowly, we are becoming more confident, and the house is changing along with us.

This experience has shown us that we are capable of much more than we imagined when we are willing to learn, adapt, and keep going.

#11 We finally started rebuilding our dream

After waiting almost a year to get everything in order, we finally started the renovation!

We opened up the old house by removing walls and even a ceiling, revealing the natural materials and craftsmanship that were hidden inside this amazing structure.

Every discovery tells a story and reminds us how much knowledge was built into these old houses.

Once again, we're doing things we've never done before, learning as we go, and preparing our muscles for everything that is still to come.

Here we go!

#10 Summer update

We finally managed to finish last summer’s update video!

It was a season full of harvesting and processing fresh food straight from the garden — drying fruits and veggies, making juices to enjoy all year round, cooking up lots of marmalades, and even trying a little fermentation experiment.

All that while selling our house, moving into a temporary place, and preparing for the renovation of the new house.

#9 Hail and hope

In this episode, we had to get creative to irrigate the young trees using the existing water canals — with some unexpected challenges along the way.

We also welcomed a few lovely visitors — one of whom brought a surprising gift: a solar-powered tool to cook with the heat of the sun! ☀️

And just when we thought we had the rhythm down…
The skies opened up with heavy rains — and even hail — leaving a bigger mark than we expected.

Curious? Watch the episode and see how nature, surprises, and small wins shape the journey of FreeHive.

#8 Water on the land!

Getting water on the land was quite a birth! That's why we celebrated eating together with all the neighbours and the guests that were helping us clean the water canals. Meanwhile, in the garden, the green manure was growing faster than the potatoes! And water in the canals is one thing, but how do we get it to the new trees we planted? At least they got some mulch volcanos...
