work with what you already have instead of building from scratch – times aren't getting any better
Poppy is so full of joy!!! I am so glad she picked you!!!
Love seeing you both working together.
Oh, my goodness, I can't wait to watch the transformation of the little barn…I think it more than makes sense to do that than build the wooden structure you first had in mind. I'm also a neat freak and sometimes I get on my own nerves🤣 I can't function properly if I know something's a mess, it's like my head is a mess too, but once the situation has been resolved, my head clears🤔🤭 I think you're both going to enjoy this next project🤗
Can't wait to see the stone bld. conversion. Seeing that you are taking the roof off, can you raise it a couple of feet to give you some head height in the mezzanine. How about planting a couple of apple trees.
I've been watching Chateau De Montmagner on YouTube who are renovating a small piggery which looks like exactly what your going to do with your wee house. They've just finished putting on a new roof. You might enjoy watching it.
Chestnuts?
Do they sella product called Weed and Feed there? It kills weeds and feeds the grass.
LOL…. Spray those weeds!!!
The new project is very exciting it will be great I am sure ….the fruit trees look nice and healthy hope they give you a good crop…the dogs are beautiful they get along together just fine 🙂 good to see Victoria xx
Can't wait to see the renovation project come together, best of luck , so exiting 😍
Well…
Good morning everybody…
Greetings from Germany 👋
…
Let me get this straight, your plan to renovate your house is … to renovate/rebuild ANOTHER house .? 😂
Don’t get me wrong, plenty of options on a property as yours, but since getting on with it, my first thought was… you buy a Camper Van that is big enough for you … rebuild your home… and THEN once you finished that … do everything else…
The basic idea would be also great for renting out, so people come and visit Portugal 🇵🇹 generating extra income.
But it’s your property … I’m just a guy sitting here, spitballing thoughts 😜
Cheers 😅
…
PS. judging by the amount of UK channels that starting life in portugal… looks like the NEW Spot to be 😅😅😅
Another great visit to Portugal before heading out to work. When it comes to grass and weeds I know that grass will win out if you just keep taking the tops off the weeds once a week. I have cleared patches of bramble in the past and just mowing once a week on a high setting keeps them down and the grass takes over. A fruit forest will be an amazing addition to the farm.
Great to see Poppy so happy – it is obvious how much she is loved by the two of you! I love the fruit trees too !
Hey Mr Wonderful, love watching your videos 😊 loving your journey.
The cottage plans sound great.
We also struggle with our lawn. We tackle the dandelions first and then the rest if we have time. Good luck. Be a great lawn in the end.
Highly recommend a weeding knife, dude!
Tap rooted weeds, in particular, are very difficult – and slow to pull out. (As you know…..!)
Great idea for the new project Ricky. Looking forward to following the stages. Good to have Victoria in video too 👍
Well done
i have told you about making shed out of pallets. it will last just as long and they are cheap or even free
Good idea to renovate what you have rather than build new.
Not sure a 2 stage mezzanine is a good idea though. The point of a mezzanine is to increase the usable area and the low part won't do that except possibly to allow a bit of storage underneath. Personally I would have it span the half of the house over the kitchen/bathroom 4m x 2.5m has plenty of room for a bed and some clothes storage.
Are you sure that all the fruit trees are self fertile ? Sometimes with apples you need 2 trees for cross fertilisation….
Good luck
Oh that will be a super little cabin! So without the tiny house, where will you sleep while construction is going on in the main house? we recently got an electric mower for our lawn, it's not a very big area, and I love mowing, seeing it all neat and tidy, and don't have to deal with the oil and gas. Lovely to see Victoria!
Hi from Washington state. I'm so proud of you for taking on the "Get more Experience Project" in the next renovation. You have a strong tiny house already and glad you're going to use it.
It was nice to have a Poppy Fix and a Victoria fix all in the same video. Way to go on the grass. The broad leaf weed is actually like spinach and is totally edible cooked or in a salad. Free food.
Hello Ricky and Victoria… Enjoyed your video ☺️
😀
some weeds will die with the frost, others not…
Enjoyed your video, thanks for sharing looking forward to watching your progress nice to see Victoria & the dogs are just precious. Puppy is just so full of energy so happy y’all rescued him.
