You guys should be less hard on yourself. Remember, the beauty and rustic nature of these old buildings lies in the imperfections. Not everything should be square and level. Best of luck

Hey y'all! I loved this video format! I know it was for a whole year, i hope to see it for the next years! Include the English house renovation, that is particularly in my heart for what y'all did for me! And i had know idea of your talents. A friend of the family told me, you have talented friends😂! I just love y'all and was thinking about y'all yesterday. Y'all really have accomplished a lot more than you even think!! The Jackerys look pretty good. I have seen y'all use it/them all the time. Something like that would bee brilliant for this island life! Every time the wind blows to hard, (not counting Hurricanes), the power is out!! Sometimes they, the Town, will cut it off early before a Hurricanes or Tropical Storms incase a power pole falls or a transformer blows. That way it reduces the risk of fires. Out here, if one house catches fire, you can believe 3-4 are going to burn too because of the breeze or wind. We have very strick fire rules too, like Portugal!!! I need to get me a Solar Generator. Gas ones you hear all night long and there least likley to get stolen bc you can keep them in your house and run the panels outside. STAY SAFE. XX. 🙏❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹⛵👣🤙🤗

What an amazing adventure so far! This is my introduction to your channel, I've subscribed, and will be going back and watching every video from the beginning. You brought tears to my eyes, seeing what you achieved together. What an amazing team you two are, so much accomplished. Even the rain coming right at the start of the roof tiling was helpful in it's own way, Mother Nature allowing you to know things were being placed correctly and functionally. I hope you continue to thrive and share this joyous path you have chosen in life, far in advance of completion and how you both live life in Portugal. Look forward to getting to know your neighbors, the cadence of your village, being brought along for bbqs virtually, learning how to make fig jam through watching your content and all the other wonderful things that make like a pleasure to explore. Felicidades e muito amor, da Irlanda.

Oranges only become sweet once there have been a couple of heavy overnight frosts whilst the oranges are hanging on the tree. Without the frost cycle they stay bitter/sour. ( I live in an orange growing district in SE Australia with a similar climate to Portugal)
