I've just watched your video of the cost of your property, I found it very interesting. But my biggest worry is how do you move to Portugal and how difficult did you find getting permission to buy, and live there, and residency, I'm retired and I would love to live there but put off by comments of how much stress it is with the paperwork Perhaps you could make a video explaining how you did it

You did an amazing job ❤ best video yet. But that sink and stove wont be enough once you start having kids lol 😜🎉😂

I cannot believe that property cost 25,000. I am house/Homstead hunting in central Portugal in September, I might have to get back to you🙂

Wow😮perfect.😍👏👏👏👏

Absolutely fabulous! Love everything! (Except the carpet 🤦🏼‍♀️)

Good Job on garden and stone wall...

Hi, Andrea. I finally got caught up with your journey to a self sufficient home in Coimbre. Now I can comment in real time. Just want you to know how impressive you are with your many skills. As a mother of grown children I can imagine how proud of you your mom is as she watches you build your home.

Could you add English subtitles please?

On many video's I saw Simon working on the stone hous or on your mother's room. And every time I cannot see just a man doing his work, but a true art and craftman who loves his work! Even if it is a tiny bit, for him it's big. LOL, now I read it below to, but it is true!

Just one big question, what is the attraction to Portugal?

It was absolutely pleasure watching you guys, You done fantastic job turning it around in 3 months. Time period house are hard to look after I am living in one. 4 Bedrooms, 4 Reception rooms 2 bathrooms & kitchen it takes me 3 years to do all.. Anyway fantastic job...bless you..

So I’m new here does Simon work for you both ??, amazing video😊

23:10 shirt on the left insideout ;P tag dangeling around.

Good try on the cabinet doors but you need to drop the right one a bit.

I like the tunnel you made for the garden. The whole video is wonderful. The progress you have all done on the build, garden etc has been educational and very interesting. Have a lovely day.

Omar's meal looks absolutely delicious and Simon's stone work is amazing. Omar and Andrea your stone work is not bad for two newbies new to the trade, the more you lay stone you will get the hang of it. Have a lovely day.

Lovely. Try adding sand to the soil where you grow carrots? It looked as the soil is very heavy and clay-like?

Nice sharing that look nice kitchen

Is there a video that explains about Simon? Is he a local contractor you hired to help, or a friend? His work is amazing!

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys, good work 👍😁.

I only see Samon where is the husband sorry new sub caching up on the building 😊

Hi Andrea I saw an old video of you with two fantastic carpenters Josh and Manuel. Another YT Make Do Grow are looking for carpenters and somebody who can do roof tiling. I know they are also in Central Portugal. Maybe these two carpenters can do the job. Have a great week to all of you. Granny South Africa❤

Wow you dont need plummers and electritions in Australia we cant do anything without professional people othervise no insurance or cansol approval great jobb

Bom dia vai ficar muito bom mão na massa obrigado ❤

I loved watching you build the wall- it brought to mind one of my favourite poems, Mending Wall by Robert Frost- look it up. I’m sure you’ll be able to identify with it. 💕

👏👏👏💪

It's all coming along nicely. The stone wall in the kitchen will look great. I'm just a bit confused though, will you have to go outside to get to the bedroom ? There doesn't seem to be a door leading from the kitchen.

Really been enjoying following your projects whether it be your builds, gardening, decorating. Maybe it might still seen odd tslking to the camera, but i feel i'm right there with you and enjoy our chats and explanations of what you're up to. 🤗 It's even gratifying to me when you get to harvest and eat your own home growns.

Cuppla comments, which you *might* not like....so apologies in advance. Andrea I understand you need to feel like you are doing stuff, and you need to produce footage for the weekly videos, but rushing in where fools fear to tread will always end in tears. As you've found. That 'burned' edge of the table extension could simply have been planed with a hand plane or an electric planer. Pretty sure you've got at least one of them..?? If not, I know you have a belt sander, so that would have done a better job quicker than that lightweight finishing sander you used. If you worry about rounding the edges over, using the big belt sander, an old chippies trick is to clamp the job piece in between two bits of similar size scrap, so the wide bed of the sander goes out at each side onto the scrap, keeping the main part flat, without rounding over the edges on things like that table edge. While that aluminium extrusion (was that the word you were looking for) is ok for the job, you could have installed it a bit better, making it flush with the surface. Not sure if you'd be brave enough to do this yet, but it is simple enough if you set it up carefully in the shed, on the bench, and measure everything very carefully, but what you need to do is to use a small router to cut a small amount out of the surface of the benchtop so the 'T' of the extrusion can sit down flush with the surface of the bench. You probably still could do that. And now I've pointed it out, every time you look at it, you will curse! The bathroom cupboard...?? Shit happens. Simon was of course correct, make the doors fit so that when you look at them from the other room, they look square. But it helps before you start on such a job in future to double check that the sides are parallel to each other and that the internal corners are square. You "assumed" they were, and so the door didn't fit. And every time you "assume"......you make an 'ass' out of 'you' and 'me'..! Finally, something to show off to Simon. He was giving you a lesson in the use of a plumb bob. Did he tell you why it's called a plumb bob? Because back in the day, when the Roman engineers (who invented it) made theirs, they used the most available metal - lead. And lead in Latin is plumbum. You will note lead's abbreviation in the Periodic Table is 'Pb', which is also from plumbum. So plumbum, over time, became 'plumb bob'. And even though Simon's is made from brass, originally, it was a lead weight. And the 'straight vertically' that you check with a spirit level is called getting the surface 'plumb', while a horizontal surface is made 'level'. And the term 'plumb' comes from..??? You guessed it, the Romans 'plumbum'. So, ask Simon if he knows this, and if not, show off a bit.... [wink]

Simons a real workhorse..1 man crew. Well done with the doors Andrea. Your Mom fits in real well

Plumb Bob! So very old but my husband used his all the time

Put more compost in soil to improve the quality. 😊

Hola Andrea ! Me encanta tu programa ! Quien tuviera tu edad ,realmente al verlos me encantaría involucrarme en un proyecto como el de ustedes,me motiva muchísimo,pero ya tengo 65 años y mi esposo no está muy bien de salud .Gracias a tu canal vivo la experiencia aunque sea por este medio😊 LOS FELICITO!!! Me gustaría que mostrara más las comidas que preparas ,las veces que los has hecho se ven deliciosas! Un abrazo

Cut One measure twice is the law and you could put the wood on top and mark it under

Would be hard to live with those cupboard door's 😉

I love your garden, you and your Mom have done a beautiful job. And great job with the cabinets, love the new kitchen counter.

The build is really moving along great Veggie garden is great

Bathroom is also good!

The work top turned out great! Everything looks so nice . I'm glad you don't get discouraged and give up. Keep meditating . I think it helps with keeping positive.

My Mom had a cookbook that was just zucchini. Most often she used it in zucchini bread, or chocolate cake. My aunt makes them into "noodles ". I have also made a custard pie with zucchini. And of course there's always vegetable soup, and stir fries. Fruit leather I would blend with another fruit, like plumes or strawberries. I'm trying to remember what exactly went in the apple, tomato, zucchini muffins; I want to say apple pie spice? You could probably add carrots and zucchini to the tomato soup cake? That would be good with snickerdoodle hummus. Dehydrated as chips, and as pickles were my other thoughts, but I don't think I actually liked them, but everyone is different and your family might. Anyone else have zucchini recipes to add?

Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings. Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘

Two little matching knobs on the little bathroom cupboard … measured carefully to be level and it will be perfect ❤️ The garden looks amazing.. your mum looks so very happy there. Simon is still a genius.. And you , dear Andrea are amazing. Sending love to you all🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I think you did fantastic job with the cabinet doors, and since we are human we all make mistakes & as you said we learn. Your counter top & drawers looked absolutely beautiful. Your garden & flowers are so pretty. Thanks for sharing and wishing all of you a blessed week.

Your work was difficult and you did well.

I have been wanting to ask this for a while. Are those oranges/ citrus on the tree edible, because every once in a while I see a bag of oranges on the kitchen counter. Made we wonder. But also want to say at 19.17 in this video you can really imagine what your new part of the complex will be like. Looks lovely. Good job all four of you.

Thank you for sharing this video❤ Nice wall progress and veggies look delicious! 👍🥰👍🌟

I thought the cabinet looked pretty good to be honest! And the work is progressing well on the rebuild😊

Andrea I'm very impressed with your building skills, so don't berate yourself over small imperfections. You're doing an amazing job of sharing the build. How wonderful it will be to know you both played a major role in creating your dream home. Give yourself a huge pat on the back!😊👍🇨🇦

It was great! Simon is Awesome! Your lucky to have a brother-in-law with wonderful skills! And you did great too! Yes, there is a .earning curve, but, your not going to learn how to do something unless you try. Your Mum is such a big help. She's the Master Gardener!! It's so much bigger this year! I'm so happy your carrots turned out. And the 2 veggies, I don't know what they are or what their cooked with?? I'm sure Omar is so happy with your work!! Y'all stay safe! Tell Omar, Mum and Simon I said hello and Fantastic work! ✝️🙏❤❤❤❤🇺🇸🇵🇹👣☘🍍🌻☘🤗

You can see under the sink unless you’re sitting or lying on the floor sooo 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
