It is very hot and humid here in southern Ontario as well. It really makes me tired, so I am trying to relax a bit more, Please rest up as well. Thanks for the great video. Take care❤
That swing from Antony was so smooth! I had the same response as Laura ngl... 😄 🤣
I saw that abandoned cafe, when I used Google maps I could go back in time to see it in 2012, I tend to have a look around now and then, most places have a date of 2012, but Google is mapping again, so we can see June and July this year. I have been looking for property and know most villages now and know my way around most of the country. We are down to three houses... It's taken 8 months to get to this point.. How did you pick your house and why??
Ur super parents!! Gettn things done with 2 small girls is definitely challenging! Mayb clean the basement out & put cement down?? 💜🕯
🙏🏻🍀❤️🥰
Здравей Лаура! Да си призная, имаше моменти в които се притеснявах за вас. Животът на село не е лесен и често е неблагодарен, но след това прекрасно водео в което всички сте усмихнати имам силното чувство, че ще се справите. Радвам ви се много 🙂❤
ohhh you have had rain. soooo envious. we got wild fires no water in the tap for weeks and barley a drop of rain. cant wait for it too. keep being told its going to rain. never does
Yesss so very thankful!! I hope you get some soon! 🙏🙏🙏
As others have said, the heat makes everything that little bit harder to do, and if it has affected your sleep as well on top of working, running after your girls and the animals, then no wonder you're exhausted Laura. Do you take advantage of the afternoon siesta time? We didn't when we lived there before, but I think we may just do so when we move back again. Those cookies look exactly like ones I make, and the jam looks lovely - well done guys!
I try my best to have an afternoon nanna nap but sometimes my schedule doesn't allow for it. I've reduced my schedule to three days a week so I can write in solitude the other two, then take the weekend. The channel 4 thing has been exhausting too. Thanks for your support guys 💖 Hope all is well with you!
@@the_phoenixproject yes of course the tv thing too!! I call them nana naps as well 😃 yes all good with us, thank you.
Ideallly the wood should be for winter 2025. It will still be wet for this winter, probably make a lot of smoke in the fire.
We chopped plenty of downed wood last year and it was fine. I think because it's been sitting outside for a long time, it should be fine. They aren't freshly felled trees.
Вашите дъщерички са много красиви, като руси ангелчета и чуруликат като птички! Срещате много трудности,но ще се справите, защото сте много трудолюбиви! Бъдете здрави!❤❤❤❤
Много благодаря 💖🙏💕
Youve got loads of crates in that basement which will be useful over the years! I'm assuming youve not got a decent wood shed, ours is rammed with what we've taken down and all our outbuildings are full with wood too. Have you had any rain? We are really desperate for water now, the wildfire last week was terrifying.
Yes, that's our next mission when I'm feeling better! Turf out the basement and store the wood for the coming winter. We are trying to turn the old chicken coop into our wood shed but we'll see what we manage! Yes, lots of rain up here. Hoping you get some wet weather this week! Be safe 🙏❤️
@@the_phoenixproject thanks! We're also VT but haven't had rain for months - the gardens are straw!
Between you guys and a couple of others, you have all inspired myself and wife to embark on a similar journey 😅, we are super nervous but extremely excited 😊 we love your videos ❤
Good luck and let us know if you need any help! ☺️
@the_phoenixproject thank you guys, yous really are inspiring, keep up the amazing videos, all s fans are rooting every day ❤️
You need to prepare from now to the winter .Buy some wood (cause now in more cheaper),make some compots (home made canned fruits like peaches and apricots , plums ,and pickles too) jams , juices (bottles and jars in a basement is for that purpose ,you need just to wash them before filling .Just re-use them every year).
Thanks! This is kind of what we were doing in the video 🥰
Ohh that’s so sweet!!!!! ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊 keep on dreaming 👌👌👌
❤️❤️❤️
Ive stopped in this heat...its too much tbh
It's exhausting isn't it? Stay safe!
❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Hey guys, actually you have got your own little village only for yourselves ........WOW such a standard :))) Love your reaction finding the very first red strawberry from your garden and also home made jam and specially home made bread, very Bulgarian life style btw ,remind me my childhood in our country house with my Granny ,very sweet moment. Still worried for you ...anyway . Waiting for next adventure Harry
Bless you guys! Take a break! It’s been hot lately luckily you had some rain! On the coast we still struggling with thee heath
Don't give up everything will be fine! The homemade jam looked damn tasty! :)
Thanks Plamen 🥰
Can you sell that old metal for scrap? In the Balkans, it is possible to sell old metal, batteries, glass, paper. Try asking around. No matter how much, it is possible to earn some lev.
The guys from the village came and took what they wanted and this was what was leftover. Not sure why they didn't want it.
Congratulations 👏🏼 it looked delicious 😂
It was the best strawberry I've ever eaten!
Много добре говориш български, браво! Прекрасна си, прекрасно семейство сте , бъдете живи , здрави и благословени
Hello. We met at Palamartsa a while back , good too see your still hacking away at things haha. Question for you though , Di you still have too fly back too London just to apply for the kids visa? And how long does it take? Will you guys wait in UK or flay all the way back again?? Seems a he'll of a double round trip. We're just about to get our kids application. 🤪
Don't overdo it guys!
Trying 😅🙏❤️
😊❤

Hey guys, I dont know you, but realy like your videos and just wanted to day that you are doing amazing. Honestly, I truly understant the frustration you feel sometimes in the face of living in the countryside of Bulgaria. Especially the country side, and specificly being a foreigner there. Bulgarians can be a little bit oldfasioned there, in a lot of ways. It will be way easier if you chose the city, but hey I can assure you, as someone who grew up in a village in Bulglaria with grandparents, it was the most amasing childhood I could ever dream of. Your kids one day will treasure their childhood deeply in their hearts. I believe its definitely not easy for you, but seeing how close you are as a family I believe its goint to get better. Bravo for being such a fighters, I know Bulgaria can be difficult but its worth it.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate it 🥰❤️
Why put a title up like that? When you’ve bought one yourself!
Because that's how RUclips works these days. Welcome to the internet! 😄
It's fabulous to see the beginning of your amazing journey ✨️
I was watching these back a week ago or so. We've come so far! Thanks for following 😊🙏💖
How can you buy such ruin!!!
Quite easy, actually.
Very naive to buy house in a village at the end of the world. It will take huge means to renovate, only to be robbed by gypsies if you leave it alone even for a weekend...
Big hart love it ❣
💖
Westerns installing UK sockets to old Bulgarian house, what could go wrong?
Yes, yes, absolutely. When the Balkan method is SO much safer 😂
Здравейте,много се радвам,че се стараете да се интегрирате в България и да учите езика.Късмет❤
Just curious, why didn't you guys go for an instantaneous water heater? They're cheaper, much smaller, and more energy efficient.
@@QuantumBraced a much bigger strain on an electrical system and we get power cuts so we need the water to heat up and stay that way.
Good job😄

Love it ❤❤❤❤
Hey just wondering about car tax and insurance is it expensive
Hi there. By pure accident I run into your channel and I am amazed with your enthusiasm. I have to tell you that I am not a builder by any means but I built two houses myself. What you have there is not a good option. That house is, and will be a bottomless pit to throw your money into. First of all, what I've seen, that house doesn't have proper and solid foundation which is fairly common in that part of the world. (I might be wrong and didn't see correctly) Second thing, the roof is in very bad condition. Just those two things that have to be attended urgently, will soak a lots of your money out. Third thing is hydro-insulation is non-existent, and non-existent thermal insulation which is going to burn enormous amount of money for winter heating. I understand your financial situation and your wish to succeed but be smart......and I mean - be smart. What I would like to tell you here, is next. You have a place to live in, and that is awesome, (when I built those houses I didn't have that luxury). You have a nice block of land and build a new house. I know you'll say - what is wrong with you? but I honestly don't want to see you stressed fixing unfixable things over and over again. If you put down on paper and do all calculations (several, long, sleepless nights, a few buckets of coffee and lots of headaches) you'll understand just how expensive is sorting out foundation, thermal insulation, hydro insulation and roof.......that is going to cost you a lot of money and that money probably will be sufficient to build a new house. For 7.000 pounds you've bought yourselves block of land and that is an awesome deal ( you probably wouldn't be able to buy a second hand car in BAD condition in GB). Anthony is handy man willing to do even things that he doesn't know how to do, and you Laura,( I think I picked up your name correctly ) you are hard working woman........you two, can do that, and I mean - YOU CAN DO THAT. With a little bit of expertise and (of course, watching RUclips instructions😇😇😇😇) and of course a bit of help of Anthony's father and occasional professional assistance you'll have a brand new house with a lot less stress, "leaking eyes" and frustrations which is going to reflect on your two girls. Think - long run. You don't have to do it quickly......bit by bit, but my honest and friendly advice is to go that way ( based on my personal experience). Wishing you all the best (from the bottom of my heart)
Hey! We honestly appreciate your opinion and 1) Bulgarian houses are built to move. We live in the hills and sometimes there are earthquakes. This is why concrete floors are uncommon and mud floors are normal. 2) Anthony's Dad is a professional builder by trade. He inspected the building before we bought it. We wouldn't have bought a house that was built terribly. These houses can withstand ten times what a British house can stand. There's no chance we would spend money building a new house. We have already survived one winter here with heavy snow as you may have seen. It's really no big deal. We plan on getting some volunteers this summer to put a new membrane in the roof to help with retaining heat. But honestly, it's no problem. Even if we spent £100,000 on this house it would be so much more amazing than any house we could find in the UK for the same price. I hope you can tolerate watching the rest of our videos without wincing and thinking we are idiots 🤣 Thanks for your advice and hope you enjoy! ❤️
@@the_phoenixproject No, no.......I didn't say that.......God forbid........I just didn't want you to spend a lots of money going into thin air. I am honestly wishing you all the best
@@alexs3119 It's not going into thin air don't worry. It's going into a wonderful house and we have the best people to advise us on doing things right. Don't worry! 😊

But why is the water pressure so low? Защо налягането на водата е толкова ниско?
Because it was old, worn out, filled with limescale? It was also wired up weird. In any case, it stopped working, so we needed a new one. It came with the house so we can't complain!
@@the_phoenixproject I didn't mean the boiler, I meant the water coming out of the tap at the end of the video, pressure seems very low.
@@QuantumBraced because there was a broken valve in the village and it's now been fixed.
Great job guys . Laura ill give now one idea most of bulgarians who are living in a villages are doing it . The big bottles from water (10 liters bottles) fill them up and leave them all day somewhere where is sunny and once the water get hot enough you can have a nice sunny shower . Trust me its amazing 😂
@@miroslavangelov84 we have a campervan shower that's the same! It's great! ☺️❤️☔
