I have my subscription! With the political climate as it is, my fear intensifies every time I watch the news! I'm too old for this!😂😂 Thanks as always Newby's!! It's really scary over here if u know what Mean!!😮😮
I stopped watching news a while back when I realized that I was getting overly anxious and worried. They usually give only bad news.
PUT a tarp or something on the roof to cover from the rain for goodness sake!!!!!!!! And enough with uffa's just put a cover plsss . 🫤thank you
I’m very excited to check this out. Thank you!
So sorry for the stress, but please put a tarp over the roof since it rains so much in Portugal. Btw John, your mom will be happy to see you regardless of the accommodations, It’s about the moments she shares with you, Tara and the kids.
John, I am sure your mum would understand. Just offer her the lovely office space. She would be happy to just see you. I am mum too, and trust me just seeing my son would be the best gift and I don't care about accommodation. ❤️
Thanks friend. I’m sure she will understand ❤️❤️
My thoughts exactly, us moms don’t care. Only problem is, us older parents need a toilet close by. That’s a must have for me.
John seems so stressed bless him it is horrible when weather gets in the way and you just want to keep going strong but the cabinet in the bathroom is so nice x
That's right... I'm a mom I don't care where I sleep as long as I get to spend time with my son.😊 don't rush it or you may hurt yourself.love the sink and cabinet.xx
I agree, I would be so happy to spend special time with my children as long as I have a bed and a bathroom I'm happy!
John your MUM will be happy to spend her time with all of you regardless of if your home is where you want it to be. Mum just love the time together
The bathroom cabinet is a show stopper, yay for you!
Thanks Sandra
Guys, I hate to see you struggling so much with something you can’t control! But the next time you build, after framing, put the beginnings a roof up. That way, when it rains, you can do “inside stuff”, and when the sun is shining, you can work on the “outside stuff.” And, work all the time!! Yay! 👏
Thanks Libby! We live and learn. 🙂❤️🙏
I admit thinking I missed why the roof isn't on. ❤ you Newbys!❤
@@pollyb.4648 John was waiting on some of the wood needed. To be delivered soon.
@@joannego856 Thanks, I did miss that.
Even put a canvas tarp over the roof
Wishing you all a good week and please dont worry about having everything ready, your Mom will just love being with you all as a Mom and Grandmother my self i know. Take care x
I always find that things are never quite as bad as we surmise
You guys are the best parents. I really admire the way you’re bring up Crusoe and Sawyer.
Pausing at 26:01. Tarra it's low because you have children.
❤️❤️
Wowza! That bathroom sink is amazing! Your ability to think outside of the box is such a skill! And your children will have that same talent thanks to drinking out of bowls! It’s not a talent that comes naturally to most. This is why I absolutely love your vlogs! I look forward to them always. Thank you!!!!
Thanks so much friend! 🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
The pressure we put ourselves under to please others. We all do it. It will all work out. As a Mom I won't care about the construction I'd be happy with my son and his family. Love the cabinet😊
Thanks Linda 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The bathroom sink cabinet is gorgeous ❤ !!! John, if it’s not raining today - get the roof on quickly 🙏.
And I just love how you gently ask Tara to clean up a bit 🥰. Who could say no to that ?!!! ❤
If weather continues to work against you / your mom could stay in the office and just use the bathroom at your house ? It’s going to be lovely ❤❤❤
Absolutely love the concept of 'drinking out of a bowl'... you're raising resourceful little people who will be empowered by all this in adulthood. Hurray John and Tara!
Have you got a tarpaulin you could put on the roof to help keep everything dry to enable you to finish other areas? Love your resourcefulness with the bathroom cabinet, if there's a will there's always a way! 😍
We do have something like that Fiona, definitely a good idea. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼
John, mothers are happy just to be with kids or grandkids😊😊 No matter an unfinished bathroom or some rain.. Being with family are what they want❤❤❤
Great Sunday Morning Newby family, well the rain is surely needed, here in the western part of the country we have wildfires, we been praying for rain to come, glad you are able to do other things in the meantime, as other friends have mentioned, John's Mom can certainly sleep in the Tiny House. Love the Newby bathroom cabinet, it looks lovely with it's stars decoration. ORIGINALITY is the SOURCE of ALL CREATION and John has plenty of it, we have seen it in his workmanship. Lots of things to do still but all in all it will be done no matter. Glad to see Crusoe not afraid of snakes but beware there are poisonous ones in the Mediterranean, a snake maybe a lizard without legs but they can bite too. I thought you drank water from a glass now that is an idea drinking water from a bowl have to try it😂😂😂😅. Humour they say is good for the bones, plenty of when passing time with you all. Happy Sunday indeed to all. Cheers 🙏🙏🙏💖🌺🦋🥰🥰🥰👱👶🐶🐸💐🏡🇵🇹🗺️
We do hope you get some rain soon Joanne! We are making a plan with regards to guests and bedrooms as we have my cousin Nicole and her husband with us too 🙏🏼🙏🏼
@@TheNewbys forgot Tara about Nicole and her husband there too, obvious last week seen them in the last minutes of the video, well the bed is there already it is the 2nd bathroom that is needed. Hope all will be resolved in time even if the first 2 nights sleeping in a hotel is necessary for her. Thanks for letting us know. Take care.🙏💖🥰
I totally understand the frustration with the weather, but on the brighter side, hopefully, it keeps fires down this summer.
Crusoe is so adorable. His appreciation for creatures is uplifting.
I love how you think outside of the box. The bathroom vanity and sink are stunning. You are both doing an amazing job, remember that.❤
I love the little mess left behind from John's projects! If my husband threw his greasy tools in my bedspread i would screan!!😂😂😂 I wouldn't mind at all cleaning up after John! That little table looks fabulous its so pretty! I think the cream tiles are going to be perfect! I know the rain holds u back but be grateful! Its so hot and dry here in Arizona! 💦💦💦🦕🐶🦎🐕
Wow, that bathroom vanity is gorgeous!!!
Sometimes, as mothers, we feel like all we ever do is cleanup……. It’s just never ending……..
I'm 18 minutes into watching and my thoughts are...go get a beer and take a moment all will be well!!! The bathroom is looking good!
Love this haha 👏🏼👏🏼
I am sure she will not care if house is not completely finished!! She is a mom afterall! Don’t fret the small things….it will all work out. Stay positive!
Oh, I love the bathroom sink idea...brilliant, and it looks so beautiful. Sending the sun god to dry out your extension so that John can get the roof on. I'm sure you'll be ready to welcome John's mama next week 🤞
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanks Jacqui. We love it too! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That would be Helios! ...the Sun god that even the Christian, Saint Patrick sang to when he was captured & enslaved in Ireland working as a shepherd ...he sang to the 'son' behind the 'sun'. 🌤🌞🌝
As you say " Be Brave - Think Big - Explore....just ride the wave, you'll soon get to shore
Love this Connie ❤️❤️
What i love about this channel, although you are busy with renovations on the homestead and looking after your boys and animals. You always have time to interact with your viewers. Thank you The Newby's what a awesome family you are 🥰
Thank you so much for this comment friend. We try our best to juggle it all and we will continue to do it because we truly do appreciate all your support 🙏🏼🙏🏼
👏❤👏❤
@@TheNewbys
I was wondering if you had plans of creating a base to fill in the space under the sink cabinet ?? I’ve yet to see a sink cabinet that appears to have no bottom support. Just curious. 🧐 it is looking beautiful though.
P.S. isn’t your shop Vac a wet/dry Vac ?? Suck up that water 💦 In the addition, then drying time will be quicker, yes ??
@@user-mk4cg7qk7iit’s all in the wall. 😊
There’s always sunshine after a storm. You two are just amazing, creative, positive, hardworking and loving. Crusoe is braver than I. A lizard, snake doesn’t matter I’m not a fan, but he treated it as his best friend. Love you all thank you for showing us the reality of renovation. ~Cara ❤
There is always sunshine after a storm, you are quite right Cara 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I just want you to know that I really look forward to your videos. I follow a lot of channels but I’m always excited to watch yours first. Blessings for your build and all of your plans. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing this with us Tammy, it makes us so happy to know that you love our videos 🙏🏼🙏🏼
and my last word? get a tarpaulin - it will rainproof any area where you are still working. Our weather forecasts look dreadful for this summer.
❤ sorry John.
New bathroom cabinet is GORGEOUS
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love Crusoe is haircut! So cute! The bathroom sink is beautiful! You all are such an insporation!
The rain is such a downer it seems to be never ending here in uk too! Bathroom looked so much brighter once painted and the cabinet is a great idea it’ll all look fabulous I’m sure.
Thanks Bella!
Good morning Newby’s! Thanks again for doing what do. Regarding the floor height in your bathroom: I don’t know if this is an option for you, but I’ll throw it out. Polished Concrete floor. You grind down the concrete to a point where it’s smooth, and then you have the option to leave it and seal it or stain it a desired color and then seal it. You also have the option of leaving it looking like one big slab or, using a saw, you can cut in shallow “grout” lines. Anywho, just an idea. Love your channels as always. Stay dry!!
Thanks for sharing your idea with us friend. We love it 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Qué gran idea
Oh my goodness that cabinet is divine! I love it!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have several pieces from India ...the patterns look Indian. It's really lovely.
Some of you might not recognise when Tara's Southern Africa design ethic shines through. But that's where the look is often coming from - as with the bathroom sink and cabinet here.
John's own English/European/Forest woodwork ethic is so compatible. Love it.
I love the way you teach your Children.....life is so about finding solutions to problems. It is exactly how we taught our kids when they were small x
Never despair John, there is always a solution around the corner.. the bathroom cabinet is very unusual, what a great find. 😊
You’re quite right Karen. There is always a solution 🙏🏼
Cheer up next year this time you won’t even remember exactly why you were stressed. Great job so far. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
❤️❤️
The bathroom sink is going to be SO amazing and unique! I love the way you thought outside the box and the way you're teaching your boys to do the same. Wonderful episode! You are doing a great job, everything looks wonderful. Love watching your videos.
You guys are making great progress!! It’s going to look lovely and your mom is going to be so proud of all you have achieved!!
The bathroom sink is going to be SO amazing and unique! I love the way you thought outside the box and the way you're teaching your boys to do the same. Wonderful episode!
Love the sink cabinet. Sure John's mum wouldn't mind sleeping in the tiny house. Could you put a tarp on the open roof so you can keep it dry and work on the inside.
Thanks Sue!
Sometimes it’s ok to redirect. Not everything has to be perfect but be “perfectly imperfect”. Sometimes practical and simple is what counts. I would never lose time breaking down a floor but much rather get another tile that would make my job much easier and quicker. In the end, it’s just a floor! It will stay for many years, but unfortunately we don’t…. Spending time with family is what is most valuable and priceless! My priority is family. Not “things”. But I can see John being a perfectionist…. You be you.
Are so beautiful Crusoe with the lizard 🍀😘👋👋👋
❤️❤️❤️🦎
The bathroom / washbasin stand (bedside table) looks flippen cool with the white washbasin and the tap.
So glad to hear you love it too Hannelie! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Rain is such a blessing but only when it suits us!! I do love that you want the best for your mum but she is going to love seeing her son, daughter in law and grandies she will sleep anywhere. Love your warts and all videos as life is like that. I found myself praying that it wouldn't rain for you but in the past praying that it would rain for you. Fickle lot we are. Enjoy your time with your mum. 🥰
So true Elaine! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
You’re quite right Elaine, thanks for all your support and love. It means so much to us 🙏🏼❤️🇵🇹
John great Job with the Bathroom Sink.And Tara great Job Painting and Cleaning up and helping your husband John.❤.Raquel.And Please say hello to your Mom when she gets there I Pray Safely.And hello to your Boy's.Thank you.❤Raquel.
Brilliant way to work around your budget and I bet it’s way cooler than that cabinet that you wanted. Fabulous! And another mom to say quit worrying so much. She’s just going to be happy to spend time with you all!
..just a thought..always put your roof on first...🥴😂😂
Tara I lovd youf vídeos!
I can’t wait to watch each one of them ,I nevef miss one !!
You both work so hard!!
Love the vanity in the bathroom and thd idea of making something into something else ,it’s gorgeous!!
Everything you and John touched allways turns into something beautiful ❤
Thanks Dina! Glad to see you love the vanity too. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love, love, love the bathroom vanity (bedside table makeover)!!! It is very stylishly Oriental avant-garde! Thanks for sharing your building adventure with it's weather ups and downs and time constraints. Life is a series of problems to solve. You are showing us how to do that just like your little boys found out they can drink water out of a bowl and as well as a cup.
You guys rock. Hang in there. It will get done. Your Mum will be so excited to spend time with you and the boy’s. She won’t care if the work isn’t finished yet.
Oh I absolutely love the bathroom sink and stand! Gosh, the weather is so unpredictable, even here in British Columbia, Canada....the world seems to be upside down! I wish you much success getting the house ready for your Mum John. Loved the Crusoe/ lizard bit!
Thanks Norma!
Life (terra cotta tiles) and the weather throw curve balls sometimes...I love that John and Tara don't let those curves slow them down!! The bathroom is taking shape♥♥♥ I love repurposing items in unexpected ways and the sink cabinet is spectacular🙌🙌👏👏l Well done, Newbys!!!
You’ve got that one right Mary! We are trying to stay as positive as we can. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I do a lot of my work in my home as well. I found it's easier to keep up with the mess than catch up. John definitely has a messy side.😂❤❤
I LOVE the sink "cabinet". It looks fabulous! I totally understand about the rain. Here in North Texas, we have been getting buckets of it. In the first 6 days June the total is over 5". It has stopped for now and the temps are rising. I look forward to seeing the finished bathroom. Blessings always.
Great to hear you love it too Cindie. We can’t wait to see it all unfold either 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You’ve got this 💪 keep on keep on!! ❤
Thanks so much guys! Appreciate your support 🙏🏼❤️
Hi Newbys! The bathroom cabinet is a great success, it looks amazing! I can feel John's frustration through the screen, it's been raining every week here too, no more than a couple of dry days at a time. But it's the journey not the destination. John's Mum is coming to spend time with you all not your house, that's what's important!
Hi Claire. Glad to hear you love the cabinet too! It is definitely about the journey you are quite right 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It is crazy how different the weather is in north and central portugal
Aww, I really feel for you both. The weather is crazy everywhere, so wet and cold. You have done so much and have worked so very hard, don’t stress. As I said previously John’s mum will be happy and comfortable in the tiny house. Her priority is spending time with you all and creating happy memories. She certainly would not want you both stressing and making yourselves ill doing too much. Love the cabinet ❤Xx
Absolutely love watching your adventures & your family growing & expanding. You are doing a wonderful job on your farm, I admire your determination & your vision. I am a dedicated follower who watches every episode with great anticipation as you are not only honest but remind me of years gone by with real family values & a real determination to make your vision & forever home a reality. Please keep the videos coming as they are not only informative but you have us all invested in your family lives. Great job by a great family xx❤️
Thanks so much Emily, we appreciate all of your love and support. We will definitely keep the videos coming and just want to say thank you for the lovely compliment and the support 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Stay positive my friends, and as a builder one advise, rule 1 in building, get the roof on even before the sides are done. Now you wait for wood to arive😢. love you guys and you will conquer ❤❤
Nice tip friend and one for the future for sure. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
I feel your pain. A cold wet spring here in the UK and the weather is still not much better. Today 9th June, cold strong wind blowing and definitely jumper time. More rain this week. So depressing and not good for flowers or veg. Terrible germination this year and leaves scorching in the cold wind. I hope you get your problems sorted before John's Mum arrives, I'm sure you will! Sending you lots of energy and love and hopefully some dry warm weather. I just love the bathroom cabinet. So stylish! xx
Please do keep warm Jenny! Thanks so much, I’m sure we will make a plan for when she arrives. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Only watched it now, because we are travelling Portugal 🇵🇹 at the moment. Love the bedside table/sink-stand…. looks amazing!! Well done you 2 💙💖
I love the bathroom cabinet and sink you have placed it is beautiful, and just so you stop worrying Johns mother will make it work wherever she is as the most important thing for her is to spend time with her son and family. Shame about the rain , Portugal has finally got the rain that was needed . Xxxx
Thanks Caroline, yes the rain is always welcome!! 👍❤️❤️
What a great idea for the sink cabinet! ❤ So cute! I’m looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom. The weather does its own thing without consideration towards individual needs, so take a few deep breaths and go with the flow. I have been watching both of you for years and seeing how you always figure out and accomplish what you set out to do, I have confidence in your abilities and creativity to end up with a lovely little house! So take some quiet mindfulness moments for yourself. It may help. 😘
Thanks Lauren!! ❤️❤️
"What do we do with John's mom?" Best line ever. Maybe skip the flooring in the bathroom and just finish and color the cement floor in the bathroom, or linoleum. And the "tiles that look like wood" debate was hysterical -- "they're beautiful," "they're ugly," "they're beautiful" -- ending with John looking off in the distance, "I think I hear a bird." You guys are stressed. Home renovations are right up there among life's greatest stressors, and your lives are a never ending renovation project. No chiseling!!! Too much!!! The dresser-vanity conversion is such a great idea. I did that once in a reno. But yours is absolutely Gorgeous! Can John's mom delay her visit by a couple weeks? And, yes, teaching children critical thinking is SOOO important! The Newbys are the best!
Unfortunately she has already booked her flights and we have guests coming straight after John’s mum leaves so no time to delay. I’m confident we will have a plan for her 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You are doing a good job with the boys. I love the sink and vanity❤❤❤ And you two are so sweet! Keep up the loving on one another and the boys❤❤❤
The day is better with a kiss from Tara. Right John? so glad you decided to do ceramic tile. It will look nice. And the vanity and sink is beautiful. Cheers!
Of course it is Leo! Her kisses make everything better 😉🙏🏼
Adorei a mesa da casa de banho , tão diferente e linda😍❤❤❤
It is beautiful isn't it Antonie! We love it ❤️❤️
Yes, the weather won't be good this week! But all Mums want is to be with children and family - if they can participate in the reno, even better! And, just like a good friend of mine says, "within 50 years, this will no longer be important". A perspective that puts everything in the right place. 😊😊😊😊
Loce from Lisbon
Seeing you and John upset because of the sudden rain makes me sad.
But the hard workers you constantly are,don't worry too much. Such things happen so often when you are into big projects.
For what I can see you both together with your two loveliest kids,are really doing something extraordinary ❤❤❤
Thanks Luisa!
We have no control over the weather! Keep carrying on…day after day! Don’t ever give up! It’s all worth it! I love your land & home! Stay vigilant & safe!😊🫶
Thanks Lisa!
Great progress despite the relentless rain…bravo guys ! Love the sink and cupboard ….you 2 will work your magic on this place !
Thanks so much Marianne ❤️❤️
Those life roadbumps...whether large or small, evoke those feelings of frustrations, sometimes sadness, sometimes even anger...when we have those circumstances where we realize the lack of control we really truly have over most everything...the hope is we can regroup after a bit, relax and roll with the life's bumps and punches, and find the way through. ....Blessings to your family..
I love the bathroom sink cabinet! It looks really great! Thank you for sharing the renovations and the trials and tribulations that entail you building your house! Wishing lots of sunny weather for you! ❤
So glad to hear you love it too Anji! Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
💚 you are both doing a wonderful job, slow and steady x Yes I completely understand about the rain North Portugal this year, it has been in floods this spring 🌼
Thank you so much friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼
When all else fails, there is always a kiss to make it all right! Peace and all Good !
❤️❤️
Teaching the boys flexible thinking is very good. And that's always why I say to sleep on it when figuring things out because some alternate ideas will come to you. The sink and vanity look great! It's nice to see you both smiling by the end of the video! S.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hope the sun is out again by now! Freezing cold and still raining in the north of England…can’t wait to get back to Portugal! Love the bathroom cabinet! ☔️ 🛁
Thanks so much Hilary! Stay warm and hopefully you get some good weather soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The weather here in UK is cold and miserable 10 -12 degrees here. Its great seeing the bathroom come together and you'll get there. like the idea of the lighter colours tiles for bathroom. Love to all.
Thanks Gail! It’s coming together really well now. ❤️❤️
Priority number one get the roof on as soon as possible. That means having the materials on hand before you need it.
What is it they say? Necessity is the mother of invention? A brilliant and beautiful solution to the bathroom cabinet problem. These troubles though, are what force creativity and will make your build so very personal and unique. I love all you are doing! Bravo, Newbys!
Thanks Micah!
I hope that the sun starts to shine steadily for you. Each change to your place is beautiful.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
The bathroom sink cupboard looks amazing. Great choice!
Thanks so much Christine! Glad to hear you love it too 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I loved it in the photo and I love it in the installation. Beautiful vanity and very much the feel of the home. So glad that some sunshine came so you can dry things out but by all means put the roof wood on and get a fan to the floor if it isn't drying in time...........great job! Perhaps put some t-vek or the like on the roof after the wood is no to keep it dry of water until you get there. It can be a patio if need be until you can get it all dried in. I am sure your mother will enjoy being with you no matter what. The biggest gift to mothers is just the spending time and space with their loved ones..........especially with their children. I know you want it perfect, and it will be, as long as all of you are present. God bless you all!
Absolutely LOVE the sink idea and outcome!!
One good thing about the constant rain, it replenishes the ground water. Where I live, we are getting more rain as well. It is depressing when it is dark and rains for weeks.
It is what it is and Johns mom will understand!
We think so too Nancy ❤️❤️
You two are Avant Garde House Designers.🎉🎉🎉
I love seeing your visions come to life. The bathroom will be amazing. Sunshine after the rain!!
Thanks Janice. We are so excited to see it all unfold 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Sorry about the weather blame the people speeding the clouds , loving the music and the work 🎉xxx
Just keep rolling , we all feeling the craziness
❤️🙏👍
Way to keep cracking on. Don't let rainy days or Mondays ever get you down.
🤩🙌Well done Newby Family!! Another lesson learned from watching this vlog is that a rainy day(s) 😉can turn into sunshine with positivity and creativity! Love the bath cabinet - it’s perfect!! ❤️❤️
Yes it can indeed Lamp Family! Never let a little rain get you down. So glad to hear you love the cabinet too ❤️❤️
Your different terraces / garden ... the whole farm is simply beautiful !
Thanks so much friend!
Alll dogs are bed dogs if allowed ! House is looking brilliant a credit to you both. It wont rain for ever so don't be too down hearted. Keep smiling best wishes to you all Rich W Ely UK ❤
❤️❤️
Keep smiling both, you are doing amazingly, I think everyone is fed up of the rain & cold everywhere, all the best, love watching you all, ❤
I would sleep in a tent to be near my only son! No worries I'm sure on her part! ❤ And the cabinet is brilliant! 🎉
Very unique and functional bathroom sink cabinet! I love the carved designs and the "bleached" finish of the wood.
I can see it with the beige hexagonal tiles you chose for the flooring. Having a variety of tiles in the same size and shape is a great interior design strategy for a cohesive
element throughout your charmingly rustic home. Trust your instincts always, you two, and you'll never go wrong. 💖
May you should have put up the extensions roof first?
Hindsight is 20/20 isn’t it!
John’s mum can sleep in the tiny house, doesn’t seem a hardship to me
I think Tara said her cousin was sleeping in there?
I'm an older Mum, there is no toilet in the tiny house, so I see their dilemma.
The weather in England, is just the same, rain, rain and more rain. I know we expect rain, it's the UK, but we do normally get consecutive dry days at this time of year, even if we don't have sunshine. Teaching the children resilience is never a bad thing. Problem solving skills will aid them better than a traditional education.
I absolutely love the vanity!! It’s gorgeous!! That’s something that went right.😂 Sometimes life gives you lemons. I’m sure John’s mom will understand😊.
