You kids are doing great! The fact that you two aren't afraid of hard work and your attitudes about the homestead will make it shine for sure! Keep it up and stay safe both of you. Cheers!!
That is so lovely of you 🙏❤
Well done guy's for moving all the roof panels one by one,as you said Rome wasn't built in a day. Enjoy your evening ❤
❤😊
Mr Mrs. Matrimony looks good on you. Dan it's obvious how you love Laura. Treat her like a queen. She's a rare gem.
😁❤xx
A rare gem indeed 💎
Yes she is!! 👍👍
You two make a great looking couple. Best Wishes.
Fi real man , dem look good together hey, truly. Matching birds💯🇯🇲👍👍😂
I was looking forward to a new video. Nice to see everything is alright and that you guys are doing well. Love from the Netherlands 👊💖
Btw great roof panels guys. Smart choice. Good isolation and nice "vintage look" .
However unpleasant it was to have to move those panels, it just goes to show how resourceful both you and Dan are and that you overcome any obstacle. Any moment I was thinking Dan would stand on a panel and pretend he was riding a wave on the ocean.😆 Great work you guys!😊
❤😊
Nearly another box you can tick off the list 🏠😁
❤xx
Doing a great job guys, all the hard work now will be worth it, getting out the UK is such a smart move.❤
❤❤
Well done guys, you work so hard, but it will all be worth it. xx
❤😊
very fine the roof.
❤
Carry on one step at a time. Renovation is coming along nicely. Looks beautiful.
so true thanks for support x
Awesome, guys!😁You're finally getting the roof you deserve. You gotta hurry up though, because "Summer" is coming early and it's gonna be a scorcher, as you well know. That roof is gonna do wonders for your life and... You gotta start taking Portuguese lessons or you're gonna be screwed all the time.😵💫
Thanks so much 😊❤
Smart move buying that roofing system Honorary Aussies!! That is going to be a great looking roof once you install it. :)
Can't wait to show more ❤
Be happy you will have a beautiful home when it’s all done.. and it will get done as long as you stay positive.. I’m cheering for you guys
Thank you so much 😁❤xx
Well done you guys. Patience and persistence paid off in the end.
When your home is complete, you will look back at these times and chuckle. It will be so worth the hard work when you finish your beautiful home.
Good luck guys.
So true and glad you get it Thanks so much 😊❤
Bartering with the neighbors!! Trailer !!!! Please learn Spanish or Portuguese!
Lived in a van in Baja Mexico and built a house, living in a van and building up in the mountains of Utah!
Good thing I bought my lot ten years ago, prices are up ten fold here!
Good luck, learn the lingo and get your full time visa
Wow, that was a job and a half getting those roof panels to where you need them. Wellmdone to you both ya most of been wrecked after that. Like the tile effect on them. It will look amazing when it's up . Take your time, and be safe
❤xx
Well done on moving all the roof panels. 💪🏻👍🏻
The clips of the journey from where the truck dropped them off to the house looked tricky, lots of twists & turns and a climb on slippery ground.
Thanks so much 😊❤
Well done both of you . Be good to see the roof on but slow and sure. I’ve enjoyed seeing the progress you make . See you soon .❤xx
❤xx
No your right as usual Laura Rome was not built in a week, as first they had to build the sewrage channels and construct simple living accomodation for the workers and the hangers on (Females). But think of the muscles you have built in that work-out??
Thank you 😁❤xx
Wow you two deserve a nice warm shower and a early sleep after this process. How are you gonna get it on the house??
we already have a shower in our outhouse ❤xx
Hello Guys 👍 it's so awesome to see you guys again🎉🎉❤
Thank you 😁❤xx
Hard work but when you sit under that tree and think back you will be so satisfied.
Thanks so much 😊❤
Don’t get upset you’re doing a sterling job keep going.😊
Thanks for that 🙏❤
Well done guys slow and steady always is the best xx❤❤
Thanks Anne 🙏❤
So proud of you 2❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😁❤xx
Haha at least Laura got some driving practice in. Whenever I had to move long things via trucktor I put in a rectangular frame back by tailgate bolted into trucktor with tailgate closed, and the height of cab roof. If you could make it out of metal tubinggreat but lumber works too. Keep on Keeping On.
I know ha Thanks so much 😊❤
Man I wish I was there only if it was to make your dinner for you guys after such a hard day's work. Don't give up guy's
You are an amazing couple and a great team. The hard work will pay off in the end. You have come so far already and we absolutely love watching you beat every challenge throne at you. 🎉 Can't wait for to see the roof go up. Hopefully with some help! Call Uncle Nick ❤😊
That is so nice of you ❤
Well done on all your roof panel shifting, enjoy your sunset ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊❤
thats a lot of work , I think I would of had him drive farther or take him in your truck so he could see how far he can go. You would be surprised what his truck can do ....Are you going to have skylights ? your place is coming along nicely. I know I wrote to you before asking if you have a P.O. Box that people can send you things but I never got a response ...also do you have an Amazon wish list people can make for you ?
We did reply :) here is again Send us an email to originhomestead@gmail.com ❤😊
PO Box is a box at the local post office where mail and parcels can be sent to you. This might help
Guys, it's always a pleasure to see you too working together! 😅 I can help with the Portuguese language for free if you guys wanna learn! God bless ya
Thanks so much 😊
Lol loving the unloading Music 😆Jesting aside you guys did a great job working as a team moving those roof sections, feet up and enjoy a nice beverage after a good days hard work , your home is going to look great once they are in place 👍
❤xx
Haha, it was almost Benny Hill/Carry on in style 😁 Worked for me..👍
@@elone3997 haha brilliant minds 🍻 i was gonna type it lol Yakety Sax 🎷🎷👍 would of been great , i would of been fred Scuttle scene where they digging the channel tunnel lol, i love these guys truley, they work so hard and their home is looking epic too, can't wait to see the roof go on, don't rush it ;)
@@bennyhill4228 I just saw your username..hadn't even clocked it before I wrote my comment ☺️
@@elone3997 What i love about Dan and Laura the best, is they pick up every skill easily upon the way, and never phased to try new skill sets, With some thought the new roof will be a doddle
Smiles and a Positive outlook...... This is what a Journey does. It rewards us with victories, strength, endurance and appreciating the decision to take the Long Road. Prayers and Blessings youngsters. How i would change things , if i had a second chance at your ages. Peace🤙🤙👍👍💙😁😁 Romans 10:9-10
Thanks so much 😊❤
Hi 👋, Laura and Dan , Great to see you are not sitting 🪑 around drinking piña coladas, 🍹🍹 😂😂, and watching 👀 the sunset 🌅, 😂😂. It might be worth seeing if you can find a axle with subframe, And see whether you can get your friend with the welding gear, to make up some type of A-frame hitch of the front of it, I couldn’t quite see whether you have got a tow ball, or not, If you can find something out of a old truck, you might better find that you will be able to bring up a load on the back that might be able to help you get materials up a bit easier,
Those roof panels look good, especially coming with already insulated , something not sure whether you’ve already ordered them but obviously you need a ridge capping, and probably end as well, it looks like a L-shaped, And did you remember that you’re going to probably need some special screws with ceiling washes,
In October/ November, in 2022 I got struck by hailstones in my property, I’ve been told that I’ve got to pay €11,700 towards the removal of the asbestos roof, and I believe that my ex is trying to prevent the work from being done, I’ve just wasted 20 years of my life, putting my heart and soul into two properties and a relationship, where I ended up being scammed, Now even have a problem with what I thought was friends in my region I’ve now turned against me, very rarely talk or acknowledge me, and I have since found out that the insurance company that I’m with through my bank is as much use as wet toilet paper 😂,
Oh, the joys of being young like you too , in some respect, not a care in the world just looking after yourselves, out on a great adventure,
I’ll wish you both all the success for the future future , please be careful when you go to install the roof panels, ❤to you both. From somewhere in France,
Thanks for sharing the idea and sorry to hear that hope you can find some peace from the situation Thanks so much 😊❤
Well done guys, hard work pays off!! Thank you for another video 😊
Thanks for watching and been so nice Amy 🙏❤
Hello Laura and Dan my sweet friends! I am so sorry. I am so late to post a comment, lately, we don't get to chat with each other. I hope this comment finds you well and blessed. Wow that was so much work along with getting the camera setup for those amazing shots. Phew! The roof pieces look beautiful from what I can see. I am happy you were able to find a way to communicate with the driver. :-) So excited for the next video! The sunset was beautiful and magical. I love the way it shown on your faces. Two angels for sure. So many prayers for you both: strength, peace, joy, and blessings. God bless, love in Christ, ~John
Hey John no worries we have so much going on as you know and always nice to see you watching along ❤ God bless you too
@@theoriginhomestead So true you both are very busy! God Bless!
I will put money on it that you dont get a xmas card off that driver
ha lol he was really nice to be honest
Well done guys, great job done. Team work works well. Lovely sunset. Take care and stay safe. See you on the next one. X
Thanks so much 😊❤
Well done! I can’t wait to see it on the barn xx
Us too! Thank you so much enjoy your night. 💙❤
Watching the roof going in was like watching paint dry.An all weather road would be a good idea.Noreen Australia 🦘
Thanks so much 😊❤
Great job guys, one thing I would advise is to lash the roof panels to the ground. The last thing you want is your new roof flying off!
Thanks so much 😊❤
That was a tiring job moving the roof sheets to the house but you did it. Next time you need a translator you can fly me from Cape Town to Portugal I can speak English and Portuguese. well done guys.
Thanks so much 😊❤
What you all need it a trailer it would make doing work around the land a lot easier.
Well done you two 👏👏👏❤
Thanks Dianna 🙏❤
Why didn't he drive the van forward then straight off to stack 😂
lol 😁❤xx
@theoriginhomestead seen some land in Portugal 🇵🇹 35k I'm so tempted to get over there and start living off grid
Not sure if you know you can make your own gas methane using an ibc srarch on ytube also you can cook with heat with and you can search yt for generator converted to run on biofuel methane
Save you loads of cash
No mamen un video de como mover láminas, no joden!
Thanks so much 😊❤
You might consider building a wooden rack to fit in the truck bed & maybe onto the cab's roof to carry things like that & lumber & osb sheets. It might help.
Thanks for sharing ❤
Well done. It doesn’t matter how you do it or how long it takes you, it just that you make it happen. 😄
Thanks so much 😊❤
With that Mitsubishi Canter, he could have left the roof right next to your house. His truck passed by just fine.... Now, just need the solar panels and one or two wind turbines. :)
Thanks for sharing x
love your vlog, it's my favourite renovation.. Wife and I lived in a caravan for four years while we converted our barn. Long job but so worth it. However, I'm a bit confused sometimes with your play list. hoping i can now keep up with the both. Jim. UK.
That is awesome and thanks for been so lovely ❤
❤❤
🙏❤
Hi you two, that was really fun to watch, to the castle 😂 Hope you're doing alright there. You have some exciting times ahead placing the roof and with Spring finally arriving it will be fun t work outside. Would of been easier to have him drive up the hill 🙃 Have a good one!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤
Thanks so much 😊❤
Well done, good job moving the roof panels, i know all you do is alot of hard work, but it will all be worth it, one day you can look back at all you have done, have a laugh, be proud of yourselves.🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏💃🕺
🙏❤
Your work is wonderful! Congratulations for your passion and patience! Have you considered raising the walls with two or three rows of bricks in order to gain height for your attic? I saw this on the Life by Living channel and it seems like a really good idea. Good luck in your work!
xx
You two work so hard. Your like homestead superheroes💥 Pow , knock out this and💥bam knock out that! 💯Many appreciate all the things you post so they can learn what it takes to do what you do. Other, like me just want you to thrive. Thank You and your awesome❤
Thanks so much 😊❤
Thank you for sharing, the roof project will be a big accomplishment.
❤
I wouldn't have said so much if i didn't like y'all so much, I've been a general contractor for 25 years, y;all are doing well
Thanks Justin ❤
Hard work well done Laura and Dan. Maybe consider making a road up to the house to enable delivery lorries to travel up. Even a few tons on grit. 💚
Thanks so much 😊❤
How refreshing to find a couple who use what they’ve got to do what needs doing … and in the end you both know here is yet another example of succeeding in spite of the slow pace, which is actually the normal pace out on the homestead … so proud of you both ! Durban SA🇿🇦
so nice of you Thanks so much 😊❤
Fantastic 👏👏
It’s coming together ❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤
Rome wasn't built in a day,so true😅must be great having no nabours living in your face,next door 😅😅
❤❤
Look forward to your next video! Can’t wait to see how beautiful the roof is going to look!
Love your wonderful attitude while hauling the roof tiles.
Thanks so much 😊❤
I love just about everything but this entire video is taking few things from gate to the house and.... ok..
We dont make you watch always remember that ❤
Doing a Great Job On The House. Is Looking Very Nice.
Thanks so much 😊❤
That was a good days work, and those composite roof panels are definitely the best thing for the job. Well done guy's 🤘👍
❤xx
Christ Almighty! paid delivery means not you doing any work, You and i need to talk!
Not in Portugal and we didn't pay for delivery
Well done guys ! Team work makes the dream work (and all that jazz !). 👍❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Hi you 2, don't you have a translator on your phone, is usually good enough, as long you don't run out of battery. 60% of Portuguese speak some English. I did say earlier, that if you are stuck and don't know how to do something just ask as I have done this before 3 times. The house wasn't in as bad a condition as yours, but bad enough.
Thank you 😁❤xx
Big job moving roof panels but they are good having the insulation as well We live in Australia and have used similar on our patio and found them very easy to use
Thanks for support ❤
If u have not already consider researching swales to protect roads from washing out. Don’t know how much, if any, of the land in either side of the road but if u do swales can be used to direct the water and to capture it to increase infiltration before the water hits the road
Thanks mark will check it out 🙏❤
Olá, muito trabalho, mas os painéis são bonitos. O celeiro começa a parecer uma casinha.( escrevo português para praticarem, porque precisam)
Thanks so much 😊❤
I dont understand why if you can drive your vehicle up to the barn, why than could not the delivery do that?
Cause the truck is 4x4 and the lorry is double the size ❤
Hi Laura and Dan great to see the new roof arrive work is moving on the new roof sure will alter house look stay safe friends
Thanks Michael ❤
Panels look good, can't wait to see them installed. Cheers!
Can't wait to show more xx
Great watch guys it's all coming together stay well best wishes 😘 phil
Thanks Phil x
Yaay!! Good work!! Looking forward to seeing the new roof going on..
Thanks Colin enjoy your night. 💙❤
Hoping the roof build goes well. 👍👍👍
Thanks for that ❤
Ooohh anther step closer to being wind and water tight in the barn. keep safe
Thanks David ❤
I remember in one of your early episodes, Dan was all about keeping fit. I don't think he needs the gym exercises now. Very enjoyable episode.
True Jean ❤
11/10 for effort on this video guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. As Laura said Rome was not built in a day.
🙏❤
You could have made a frame on the back of you’re car, and get them all at once😬
Thanks for tips Peter x
beautiful video, beautiful couple
Thank you so much enjoy your night. 💙❤
Slowly slowly and you will get there. I think people forget you are on a budget and have to prioritise what you can do. Having a home is first a better road is second and trailers etc while a great idea cost a LOT of money, money better spent on roofs for example 😊
Glad you get it Thanks so much 😊❤
You really highlighted how difficult it can be to communicate when you don't know the language, but you two managed well👏 Your bulldog tenacity f or getting the laborious job of moving the roof sheets was admirable. It is that attitude that will ensure the success of your endeavours.😊
That is so lovely ❤
You got it, One Day at a time! It will all get done...eventually. It goes on like that forever too. Jobs get put aside for a garden, or a fence to protect the garden, it doesn't stop, but thank goodness that it doesn't!
Thanks so much 😊❤
Nice, tiles, insulation and ceiling all in one package!
i know right :) Glad you like it
Considering you guys have no idea what you are doing, you are doing an amazing job! The homestead is going to be fantastic and all the blood swear and tears will be worth it, stick together stay strong and keep pushing. Any progress on your visa situation?
Thanks so much 😊❤ and still working on it x
@@theoriginhomestead just noticed I wrote blood, swear and tears 😆but guess that’s fairly accurate
You two are quite the pair lol one panel at a time stay cheerie stay safe.❤
Thanks so much 😊❤
Love your work ethic kids your doing a grand job and remember Rome was not built in a day.
so true Thanks so much 😊❤
Getting everything in place to ensure the roof is completed to the standards that you are both looking for takes time, don’t rush it and enjoy this chapter of the homesteads development. ‘Keep the faith” and continue to look after each other, looking forward to the next step.
Yes defo Thanks so much 😊❤
Did well there bet you were glad when the last one went on your truck now how are you going to get them up on your roof invite people for a roof lifting party 😘😘
Thank you 😁❤xx
Ya está el techo aquí, ahora solo falta ponerlo 😋💪
💙❤
Man, I could almost feel the warmth from the lovely pinky/orange sunset at the end.. Lovely stuff.
Love that glad you liked Thanks so much 😊❤
El mío desiderio sei que.la buona fortuna sempre este con lei due lei due sei laboratori e più compagne mantenete unito e sempre più avanti Dio le benedica ciao

Good job guys! Take your time! better to be patient with yourselves and the process than breaking things!
Well done you 2 , good days graft lol xx
Thanks Ruth 🙏❤
Communication is a big deal
❤
That delivery truck would be fine gettin' up there! EH! I would have said to the driver get that Fkn lorrey up there or take it back, y'all get stuck I'll pull ya out with my mighty USA built Ford, ya hear me !
