hey

well guys good morning we're looking a bit  disheveled hello sam hey guys i'm fetching a rock  

fetching a rock so what is this vlog even about  i feel like i need to pause this video before  

we even begin because well the world is very  different from when we filmed this at the end  

of 2019. long story short what you're going  to see in this video is the start of a little  

project that sam and i were hoping to take on in  2020 for those of you who may not know me well i  

was born in canada but i spent a good chunk of  my childhood in a pretty idyllic village in the  

sierras of cordoba argentina the spooky forest  you see behind me was once my front yard this  

past year we were hoping to take on a fixer-upper  involving this house and that one and this other  

building over here but while 2020 happened and  before we even knew it borders were closed and  

we had to hit pause before we even started i was  a bit hesitant about publishing these clips but  

then i thought it might be odd to leave you  with zero videos from cordoba argentina so  

the reason we hardly picked up the camera is  because we had stuff like this to keep us busy  

that's why they call me machete yes that is a  fallen tree on a roof i hope we'll have more  

information to share with you guys in the future  but for now here's this little vlog we are here  

working on a property in the province of cordoba  argentina and this is one of the houses on the  

property i actually lived in this house as a kid  for a bit for a few years but then when we moved  

back to canada this place was locked up and it  hasn't received a lot of attention a lot of care  

in quite some time so we are busy doing a bit of  work we are patching up a few problem areas on the  

roof cleaning the area i've been pulling down some  iv from the building because you wouldn't believe  

the damage iv can cause it looks very pretty  but the vines and the roots just eat away at the  

concrete and they turn it into this like loose  fine powder so that's been coming down we're  

also cutting down a tree that fell on the roof  and yeah this looks not so good on camera oh my

sam's also busy there in the back so yeah it's  not just food and travel on this channel today  

we're getting to work climbing on up climbing oh  no how are we doing sam good just basically we're  

putting a bit of a waterproof temporary waterproof  barrier on the roof yeah there's a few leaks  

and so uh it's a it's a patchwork job guys yeah  this is not professional professional quality  

but you know what it just needs to hold for a  little bit it does it's getting the job done  

and yeah it's definitely gonna be an upgrade  over in the condition we found it also we're  

expecting rain this afternoon it's turning a bit  gray so thunderstorms are coming we need to pick  

up the pace well we are now here on the roof  there's my dad keeping busy with his machete  

we had to borrow tools from the neighbors  because we basically have nothing over here  

and that's part of the tree that fell down on  the roof we've already cut half of it off now  

we need to deal with this other half and we're on  borrow time because there's rain on the forecast

and on top of that is dry wood dry wood

it's very hard very hard very hard  on top of that this one doesn't cut  

hot butter that that i can tell you  they're not very sharp tools no they're not  

they're not ours we borrowed them yeah we borrowed  them from our neighborhood are we using them look  

oh my it hit the it hit the rocks  it has absolutely no sharpness here  

it's all uh broken by uh people hitting the rocks  and the axe we borrow is even in worse shape yeah  

we're doing what we can with what we have so  another little job we did yesterday is cleaning  

the grooves here on on the roof um because there  was so much debris just like broken branches  

and dried leaves and dirt and it wasn't  allowing the water to run off and drain  

properly so that's part of the reason why we've  got some leaks and water damage inside the house  

and again we don't really  have any tools so we basically  

grabbed a stick and like ran that down the  grooves to kind of clean them out and just  

you know threw everything down on the ground so  that gives you an idea of what we're up to here  

my dad is still hacking through this tree  but he's more than halfway through now  

so we are making progress it is slow but  it is steady right slow but steady look  

huh this is for the guinness world record to  cut a trunk like this with a machete i mean my  

goodness that's all we have because the axe it's  blunt it's like hitting with a stone instead of  

with a metal piece so this one has a little bit  of sharpness sharpness i almost have it almost

as for me sam managed to track down a broom  so i'm going to sweep the roof and make sure i  

remove all the debris that was left over in the  grooves because you can't really do a great job  

using a stick so that's my next task well well  well what's new around here i did it he did it  

huh it's cut in half there you go machete  dan the smallest blister i have is like a  

it's like a quarter size of a quarter at least  like this in my hands no gloves no nothing but  

i did it now the weight is less i don't want  this thing to pierce through this uh very old  

they're 80 years old so i don't want it the tree  to go down and then we have a bigger problem so  

it took a little bit of doing to show you  that yeah you can cut a tree with a material  

but it's going to take you forever  with a chainsaw this one i wouldn't  

15 minutes the whole thing would have been gone  now we still have the other piece that goes all  

the way up to the yeah the rock but we'll see  if tomorrow we get some other tool i want to  

make some room here so we can clean the uh the  runners uh and uh yeah okay there you have it  

that's why they call me machete  okay here we go moment of truth

the moment of truth

yes he does it i don't want  him to bring me down with it  

no nobody wants that a really heavy piece of wood

okay baby bye get off our house oh there it goes

evicted now some water huh this is the best  water in the world well well water nothing  

artificial here pure water 40 meters down  you should do a commercial for well water  

ah this is the life huh forget about  city tap water this is the real thing  

we are bringing down that ivy this is kind of the  last section i have left in the back of the house  

oh this job here has  basically taken me all morning  

because i'm doing it by hand i don't really  have any tools nothing fancy so i'm just  

pulling each vine down one by one i've  already done the front of the house one side  

the back is kind of the last section that  side is okay um but yeah it feels good to see  

the stone exposed once again we can actually  see the structure it smells kind of funky

what is that down it comes down to combs  well it is lunch time we're off the roof  

sam and i went to the little local market and  got some tell us what's on there we got empanadas  

three kinds yep salami and cheese three alfajores  and some bread and some bread we're going to make  

some sandwiches here yeah before the ants start  eating everything yeah and this is just a quick  

lunch break and then we'll keep working  we'll have a bigger dinner later on yeah

yum yum it is lunch time for  me too yesterday bbq was tasty

update we are going out is this a date or  is this just tea and cake i guess it is a  

date just a two days oh my gosh it's the  two of us yes we worked really hard today  

we did and we just chopped down four trees chopped  down four trees with a blunt axe so good on you  

yeah there's a lot it took a lot of swings just  uh just to knock one tree down man yeah let me  

tell you i i don't think i've i can't remember  the last time i guzzled that much water either  

oh yeah like i must have had three four liters  out there i probably i still feel dehydrated so  

so yeah we're just going to basically i guess  you would call it like a little restaurant  

coffee house on a hill on a hill that's really  nearby yes i forget the name what's it called  

it is called la domanda yeah we were there we  were there we've already made a video there  

yeah we made a brief little clip there oh  yeah and then we're gonna go so yeah we're  

gonna go there see what's available it's more like  merienda time which is tea time here in argentina  

yeah usually in the afternoon that's when people  go for tea so we may be having something sweet  

as opposed to savory but anyways  we're hungry and yeah let's do this

well guys our afternoon tea slash dinner is  at the table first we need to talk about this  

monster sandwich sandwich is amazing that sam  chose for himself lift the hood lift the hood i  

thought it was going to be like half the size look  at the sandwich guys it's so thick i don't even  

think i could i don't know if i could take a bite  just directly let me try give it your best shot

oh yeah juicy thick tender piece of meat i love  the barbecue sauce a little bit sweet too and  

there's bread oh yeah homemade bread  is the best this is the best this is  

this is amazing i i was thinking like it's  the small little slim sandwich and look what i  

was surprised my friends are surprised i'm happy

a classic i already stole a little bite off the  corner when you weren't looking audrey audrey  

classic classic audrey classic  audrey always stealing my desserts

super thick creamy cheesecake i love it do  you want to try my lemon pie while you're  

at it since you're on a roll on me as well  just bring it over bit of everything huh  

why not it has some sprinkles on top oh yeah  i chose well the best part is the meringue  

oh and the lemon is is potent has a  nice gift to it good stuff overall

ah we're back we are back wasn't that great the  meal yeah yes a sandwich was like so delicious  

and then the cakes it was so so good a monster  sandwich i thought we were just the size of it  

i thought we were just going for a little bite  but we ended up having it was a proper meal  

i thought so too but then sam was like let's  go to cake so that's how it goes oh my gosh  

yeah that was probably probably not the  best decision but anyways really good  

and a good productive day today my goodness  there was we were swinging axes swinging machetes  

climbing to the rooftops hey we were actually  up at six in the morning working on videos  

and youtube stuff and we're gonna do more of that  tonight the day's not over yet the day's not over
