Finally caught up after binge watching for couple of nights from the first episode. I want to thank RUclips algorithms for suggesting this channel, I hope you find more subscriber like me bcoz you deserve way more. This channel is Hidden Gem for all the people who loves Algarve, Farm Life, DIY Projects. I have never seen anyone working so hard in such intense hit, hats off to you Andrew. You have made a good decision bringing the bus closer to the house, it will save you lot of time, effort and energy.
Fantastic comment Bharat, thank you. Guess it takes time for the algorithm to get going. I’m determined to keep going so hopefully it will pick up soon. It takes a lot of effort after doing all the work to then spend endless hours editing and putting these vids together. So it’s cool to see people getting something out of watching them. I’d have a lot more done if I wasn’t videoing everything that’s for sure, but I’m getting the hang of it now and I do these because I enjoy it.
Brilliant channel. I’m binge watching and catching up. We also have a piece of land in the Algarve with a ruin that hasn’t been touched for many years and you you a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing!
Its turning into your home. Looks wonderful to me! Its great you can turn kind of a negative feeling into finding the silver lining in everything. These videos are very enjoyable because of that and the energy you put into everything you do. Thanks so !such for sharing your life with us. In Texas we say "see you at the beach!"
Even though it was disappointing for you at first, moving the bus near the house seems to be the right decision for you. It looks lovely around the bus too, somewhere for you to relax. Loved the skating boarding ! A man of confidence to be wearing your slip ons. Never too old! 🤩🏴
You are crazy! I would have left the bus where it is (for future guests) and rather bought a new bus to put by the house. I'd love to have your energy!
I have only just discovered this vlog, it’s amazing mate, good job well done, it makes for really enjoyable viewing, I am going to take my time catching up, keep up the good work. 🎉
I love what you are doing, I have watched so many trying to binge where I can. Great to see the changes and also how hard you you work my god and in that heat well done.
Want to thank you for sharing your life in Portugal. I plan to travel there soon and Portugal is becoming one of my favorite places sight unseen for real. Compliments for your edits. Awesome! Music superb! When I need destress your channel is top choice these days. Must be destressing watching someone enjoying the fruits of their work 😅. Real artistry. Stay healthy!
Oh my goodness, you had to undo the decking . Hopefully this will be the last time you have to move the bus… 😂😂😂 In my neck of the wood, which is Florida, USA, August is jellyfish season at the beach and the water is a bit warm 😢
I feel that moving that bus ‘ again ‘ has made your life a lot easier Andy. I can’t wait to see inside the house though. Gutted about the deck, are you going to re-use it ?
Really has made it a lot easier Alan. I’m gearing myself up for the inside. I’ll do a walk around first before I start tomorrow. Trust me it’s a mess! I’ll re use everything and use the decking on the side or front possibly. I’ll be tucking it away for the time being though.
You are a machine Andy! You’ve put so much hard work into the place in the heat and to have the courage to change your mind and just get on with it is refreshing to watch. I’m really enjoying going back through your videos from the beginning.
Stumbled into your videos by chance and boy am I happy I did. Taken some pointers from you and love love love your work and how you think things through and come up with best solution. You are such a hard worker. Good luck to you and I’m sure you are going to do a great job in your personal and other property. Warm hug from Florida.
Just something to think about, re your bus conversation,we do motorhome and have a home in Portugal. Our friend did have a bus conversation, but in winter in Portugal, he did have lined curtains at his windows ,as the glass gets plenty of condensation. I know you like the idea of a wood burner in there,but remember every time you open the door smoke escapes, your lovely ceiling and walls will soon change colour. If we are on electric, with the motorhome we use the convector heater, it can be turned down low and once under the duvet covers it is comfortable to sleep. Keep the wood burner for the lounge or your new living room in the house. The wood burner would only be needed for a short period of time in the van. Once the sun comes through the Windows you may end up with it in the middle of the floor area for 10 months of the year out of use. Good luck with the crack, enjoying seeing a man work hard. Take care ......
Hi Margaret. Originally I was going to cover the windows because I found out on my first night in the bus last October, everything was damp. That’s why I went straight into the house. I am going to rethink the burner. It also takes up a chunk of space at the front which could be useful for other things. I will look into convector heater. Also because of the dogs I’m sure the door will be in constant use making it tricky to stabilise the temp. Thank you for suggestion.
I looked at one of your later videos 1st before subscribing where the bus was situated where it is now. I was so confused watching you toil away further down the land as I knew that it was moving and the decking would have to go! Enjoying your videos - looking forward to see how your project progresses.
Thank you, I’m certainly not short on content, but looking forward to mixing it up a bit. That will happen in 2 weeks once I’ve sorted the area for my basic living. I put a lot of time and energy into these videos and a lot is cut out, so it’s rewarding to know someone is enjoying them. I hope I can continue to improve my editing and make them entertaining. Instagram will be set up in next week so it’s there if people would like to see bits I don’t put in videos.. thanks again.
Good move bringing the bus closer mate. makes total sense! John and I are still working out if we can get out to you this year, would be great to see this amazing place
Discovered your channel recently and really enjoying the content and your cheeky good humour. We loved the Algarve when we visited. Especially loved the awe inspiring Benagil cave. Looking forward to watching the rest of your journey. Kind of binge watching!! 😀
Hey mate! Why don’t you install a small aircon unit, you do have power now make the bus more bearable and enjoyable during the day time to take a break
The sound quality on the earlier vids is low. Learning as I go along. I didn’t notice until someone else mentioned it. Should sound better in later vids.
Hi Andrew I really enjoy watching what you do and I am looking forward to the house remodel but you do blaspheme a lot and as a Christian I will not be able to recommend your channel or continue following you. Maybe if you cannot control what you say you could delete it before posting. Regards Billy from South Africa
Hi Billy, I’m careful what I say on camera. However I’m English, we swear, everyone does. It’s part of our vocabulary.. Harmless and fun when not used in an aggressive way. In fact swearing in UK is often used as a term of endearment. I never aim to offend anyone, I think that’s obvious. I hope you can see the positivity and not be so quick to judge. I keep it to a minimum as I said in my first video but I have to be true to myself. I’m sure you can respect that. If I’m being honest, I’m not sure what you deem blaspheme? Perhaps you can tell me so I can look out for it. Thanks
To blaspheme is to use the word God or Jesus Christ in any way that is not a prayer or a serman. This is also an instruction in the bible. I know lots of people us it for any reason but it is very serious if you do. You can look it up in the bible.
@@billymiller1319 I’m sure God will forgive me Billy. No point being a God if he/she can’t see past words. God will judge me on my character, not my choice of words. Let’s enjoy our similarities not or differences. Tolerance and positivity.

Binge watching too 😂
Poor Andrew, bless your patience to have to move the bus again after all your hard work. Everything is looking great now, so take a break.
You just drove me insane! Moving the bus again! Lol. Looking forward to your next project.
Its turning into your home. Looks wonderful to me! Its great you can turn kind of a negative feeling into finding the silver lining in everything.
These videos are very enjoyable because of that and the energy you put into everything you do.

@@blondguy We are now back in the UK after having 5 weeks at our place in Lagos and missing it already. The videos help us keep the memories alive.
I like your videos!
Let me correct something. That tall plant is not bamboo. It is some kind of cane.
Good move bringing the bus closer mate. makes total sense! John and I are still working out if we can get out to you this year, would be great to see this amazing place
Hope so mate, been too long and will be great to see you. Look forward to it.
Im new to your journey and cant wait to see what you're going to do. Good luck ☺
😎👍

Never could understand why the bus was not next to the house. If I head correctly it was for the view. Good move to move it.
Yeah I think you were right to move the bus next to the house mate, always listen to your gut 99.9% of the time it's the right decision.
For sure, especially when you see what I’m doing this week mate.
Hey mate!
Why don’t you install a small aircon unit, you do have power now make the bus more bearable and enjoyable during the day time to take a break
Hi, aircon is one of the most expensive things to run and I’m not in it during the day.
Would certainly be nice if you could make your volume constant, Please>
The sound quality on the earlier vids is low. Learning as I go along. I didn’t notice until someone else mentioned it. Should sound better in later vids.
why you sleep in the bus when you have house? Can you not adopt quickly one of the house rooms?
What caused those forest fires? Is global warming causing Portugal to get drier?
You mean climate change…. Like anywhere, it’s mostly humans that start the fires one way or another.
The fire was started by Grata Thorneburg.
You're as bad as I used to be! I wish I could walk these days, never mind renovate etc. :-(

How christian of you to point fingers. "Judge ye not, lest ye be judged."
Carry on Andrew, the rest of us laugh right along with God.
