Thanks for sharing Garry ❤@@garrywhitehurst5764
The walls in the barn are going to look great. Whoever initially built the barn did an amazing job with those rocks. It is a big barn. The land looks so good and nice to have that warm weather.
Hey Virginia hope you having a lovely week and we agree. The barn also is a lot bigger then it looks on the camera :) Sending you lots of love ❤
Congrats Laura for braving the outhouse!
Thanks ha ❤
I can actually see that the stress has disappeared from your faces. The difference between when you left this last time and now is so incredible. It just makes me smile to see you rebooted and jumping back in! Way to go!!
Hey Leanna we agree we defo have a diffrent mindset to enjoy more and just see what happens last time around we where putting to much pressure on ourselves so thanks for noticing and been so nice 💚
Sorry for my english but maybe one day we can see you presenting your progress in portuguese. What you think about?
I live in south Brasil.
The barn is definitely coming along well, and it's particularly nice to hear you talk about future plans again. May they all come true 😊
Fingers crossed and you always so lovely hope you well ❤
Think of some of your ancestors building their lives from scratch. They worked hard and had less to work with. You’re contributing so much work into a future home! You should be proud! I love you guys! ❤️🇨🇦
So true and love that :) Thanks for the amazing support and we agree cannot wait to share more. Sending you love in Canada ❤
The homemade hinges were a great solution at the time.👍
They really where still going to keep but needed a little upgrade 💚
Hi, Laura & Dan;
Use the ashes as fertiliser for yours fruit and olive trees. Spread them around about 2 feet from the tree trunk. This will inverse fruits productions . I do this for my apple and pear trees. All the best to you.
Hey Henry nice to hear from you and we agree something we always true there so great. Thanks for sharing and all the best to you too 💚
Nothing like jacket potatoes from a fire. Made my mouth water. Enjoyed the video as always. Sending love xx
Glad you enjoyed and nice to hear from you Jenny sorry for making your mouth water ha ❤
Laura & Dan, hello sweet friends! I pray you both are well. 🙂The gate upgrade is so nice. I like how you find time to complete upgrades. It is so nice to have the cement floor when you have to pressure wash. You can easily wash all that debris right out the door! Pretty nifty! Thank you for your honesty about pointing. God bless you both for your patience and persistence. The fireside chat was lovely as well. Your chats are my favorite part of all your videos. I imagine some day in the future you telling your children about your adventures and hard work. They can also watch the videos of Mum and Dad working so hard and sharing their hearts with others. Thank you for the inspiration, the healing, a moment in time spent with you both, and working for our Lord. In my prayers and love in Christ. ~John
Psalm 19:14 NKJV
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer."
Hey John always lovely to hear from you :) yea the jet was is so good and we love using it so satisfying. Glad you enjoy the chats we will share more in other videos for sure. That is a lovely way of putting it and god willing we really hope so. Thanks you for always been so lovely and just always taking time to watch ❤❤
@@theoriginhomestead Always and forever! ♥
When I was a kid we had a spring loaded metal rod on the other side of the gate to keep pressure off the hinges.
Hey Judy that is cool thanks for sharing ❤
Glad to see you both back
So nice of you to say 💚
Glad to see you back on the homestead.
So lovely of you to say Dennis ❤
We missed y’all. Glad you could come back!
Thanks for that so nice of you 😍
The barn is looking great hard work is paying off 😊
Hey Lorraine that is so nice of you ❤
You two are so perfect for each other i think together they’re is nothing you two couldn’t do looks like things are starting to heat up
That is such a lovely comment really means a lot you are a lovely soul ❤
I love garden fires , so cosy.❤❤
We agree Glenys any excuse ha ❤
Hi Dan and Laura. The gate mk2 looks great. I am excited to see the barn progress. Laura, I hope to see you smile again soon
Us too thanks Allen we are working on the barn door today so that will be great to share in the next video ❤
Love to you both. Your fantastic people
Another new sponsor? That is awesome again! Very professional, job well done, and a cool product as well. A nice thing to have. I hope an army of strangers from the internet buy you a house! Watching the ads to do my part. Go baby, go !
Hey Bob yes we are so grateful as it help us a lot and helps us make more videos. That is so nice of you we are so glad we have you apart of the community you are so lovely 💚💚
Glad to see you two back on the homestead, rock wall looks great too.
Hey William nice to hear from you hope you and family well ❤
Little at a time before you know it you’ll be done.. it looks great so far
Hey George so true and glad you get it 💚
The fire sounded so nice.
It really did so glad you enjoyed and hope you well 😍
Lovely seei
G you back on your land.
Top tip for the gate to stop intruders lifting it off, put a 3rd hinge in the middle with the pin upside down. 😊
That is so nice of you too say thanks for sharing ❤
The best way I find to fill in rendering the wall if you get a heavy plastic bag & put your mix in the bag & cut the corner of the bag & just think of you putting icing on a cake it’s the same way in doing it & then rub it down with a damp sponge it might help you in pointing between the walls & get though it quicker hope that helps & great work to both of yous too
Hey Christopher thanks for sharing we have tried and just didn't work for us took longer to refill and so messy. A sponge is great idea will give it a try. Thanks for helping and been so nice 💚
love your pronunciation of "water" - delightful. I'm sure it's been said already but if you could get a wood chipper you could turn your olive prunings into pathways and mulch.
Glad you like the it ha we agree just for the cost out hear they are quite a lot ❤
Hi guy's
Hope the new year brings you great success. I really appreciate your kind words about my mother and her death. This tells me that you guys are good folks. And you guys are blessed.
No worries at all hope you are feeling ok and keeping strong through this challenging time . Sending you so much love 😍
Time you bought a mixer that fits in your drill mate👍👍👍
Hey Andy thanks for watching i have one but you don"t mix Pointing motar with a hand mixer the consistency does not go correct. Thanks for sharing tho defo needed for other jobs
I wish you two could seek my face when you come on you two always keep me laughing and smiling enjoy watching your journey/see next week 😊
Hey Morgan that is so lovely to hear and glad we can add to your day a little. You are always so nice to us and means a lot 💚
It's going to be a nice place to raise children when the time comes guys it's all coming together have a great weekend when it comes Phil 👍
Hey Phil hope you well and we agree. Thanks for the lovely comment ❤
Work In progress. Your doing good! Love the night skies with the fire.😊
Hey Elizabeth nice to hear from you again and glad you enjoyed the night skies 💚💚
I’m so happy to see you guys back again! God keep blessing you and I’ll be praying that God help with all that stuff you guys need!
That is so lovely and nice to hear from you. God bless you too ❤
Compost compost compost. It is always a good idea to get into a composting cycle so you can return all those nutrients back into the soil. I have a 2.5 acre homestead and we build compost bins and bio reactors to put all of that back into the land. While it may not be in your budget, mulching those limbs and putting them back around the base of the trees will make them VERY happy...plus it will help choke out weeds around the trees, leaving all the goodies for the trees to enjoy. Also look into making a charcoal retort. The charcoal can REALLY help your soil become self-sustaining and live with beneficial microbes and things.
We agree thanks for sharing ❤
So great to see you back where you belong, and obviously very happy to be there, it came across this week with your humour, g’day cobber
Hey Eddie love that so nice of you to say and glad you enjoyed with humour this week. Hope you doing well ❤
I liked the song at the end that has been specially recorded for you.
Us too Phil its so lovely ❤
Lovely dog - more on the dogs please!
Perhaps get one of those little collapsible backpacking fires - more efficient use of the prunnings ?
We agree ha we hope it stays ha thanks for sharing the idea never heard of them ❤
I really love the way you are working together. The walls are looking quite nice! A place infront of the barn with the stones that you gather on your property will look very nice.
Hey Christine that is so nice of you and yes we agree next week we should be working on the door area ❤
Love your videos. I noticed at the entrance, grass/weeds are invading your gravel driveway. Here is a remedy that is environmental friendly.
Vinegar, salt, and dish soap
Mix one gallon of white vinegar, one cup of salt, and one tablespoon of dish soap in a spray bottle. Spray the leaves and stems of the weeds. The acetic acid in vinegar breaks down cell walls, and the salt and dish soap draw moisture from the weeds.
Thank you so much ❤
You put those hinges on the post once should be the other way up so somebody or no one can come along and just lift the gate off. Enjoy your video. Keep up the good work. All the best
Hey Terry hope you doing amazing thankfully we Live in an area where that is not a concern :) But thanks for sharing the tip 💚
Been waiting for you two to say Lora's pregnant😲❤
Love you two keep up the good work doing great
Hey Victor god willing thanks for the love 💚
Your coming along nicely 😊
Thanks for that and so nice to hear from you ❤
Good to see you back 😅😅😅
❤❤
Great job. Coming along nicely. Thank you for sharing ❤
You are so welcome 💚💚
Looking good! Looking forward to seeing your next step!
Hey Linda so nice of you to see lots More to come!
Hi Laura and Dan, another week of improvements on the homestead, nice work on the gate and the walls. Homesteading is all about improving the land and your lives which you both are doing a great job at. Keep the faith, and continue to look after each other.
Thank you so much and glad you get it so true and we agree :) We will do and you too such a lovely comment really enjoyed reading ❤
Pointing looks great. It is transforming the space. I wonder if you should consider whitewashing or painting the problem wall with the concrete on it? If it looked good you would save a lot. Wishing you well as always.
Glad you like and thanks for the supportive comment. We agree we are going to render it :) ❤
Good job on the walls and on that beautiful gate! Here is also hot. 21ºC . It looks like Spring. Thank you for the video!
Thank you very much and yes we agree same here it really feels like spring already which is crazy ❤❤
Looking good guy's, hope you're both well 🤘👍
Thanks Jay. Hope you are too 💚
Love to see you back on your land. The plans you have planned sound spot on.
Hey Virginia thanks for that nice to hear from you and we should be working on the door next week ❤
That pointing is looking good guys. It's gonna look amazing when it's all finished and you're settled in.
Thanks as always Paul always nice to hear from you. Cannot wait to share more next week ❤
Love your determination and your videos!
Such a lovely thing to say 💚💚
Dan check your gate hinge if the bottom hinge is up put the top hinge pointing down to stop anyone lifting the gate of its hinges just try lifting the gate of its hinges you will see what i mean turn top hinge around to stop this
That is a great tip and thanks for sharing i see what you mean :)
Welcome back onto your land of dreams 😊. You make a good team as you work side by side … the upgrade on the gate looks great ! Barn is coming along nicely … taking your time will ensure the end result will have that WOW factor ! Durban SA 🇿🇦
Hey AliceThank you very much that really means a lot. We cannot wait to share more soon should be working on thew door area soon too :) Sending you lots of love x
Hi Patrick Dunn here from Wisconsin, looking at the holes in your stone walls. I think if you were to box each one and frame and level each one they would be charming display units! Just a thought 💭
Hey Patrick nice to here from you and cool Wisconsin and yes defo we agree would look so nice ❤
That was so great you two getting it done that's greatback in the swing of things moving on to the next can't wait for next video
Hey Phillip we agree and new episode out now ❤
I hope y’all get everything straightened out with the Portuguese government soon so y’all can live there full time.
Hey David so nice of you to say that really means a lot. We hope so too and hope you having a lovely day ❤
One of my happiest childhood memories was baking jackets potatoes in the bonfire at my grandparents place after an evening walk with all my cousins ❤ cheers to making memories in the year ahead 👍
Love that and Thanks for sharing. So true we are the same or even marshmallows ❤
I wonder if you could make that mortar a little bit thinner and put it in a heavy duty polythene bag, cut the corner off and squeeze it into the gaps, then push it in and smooth off with a paintbrush
Nice to hear from you and thanks for sharing but it honestly doesn't work that well for us. Takes to long to keep refill and looks messy :) 💚 Paint brush is good idea might try that thanks
@@theoriginhomestead Damn! Thought I was onto something there. Well, hang in there guys, you're doing a grand job. It's painstaking but the end result will be awesome. Power to you!
Hope you manage to get visa situ sorted too. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you
Thanks for the nice video. Sealing the wall is a slow process, but at the end, thanks stand. Good luck and all the best.🌞
Thanks Sepp and yes we agree we are looking forward to seeing how it transforms the building. We should be doing some work on the door area for next video so that will be good to show 💚
Great job ❤
Thank you Hazel you are so nice ❤ 😄
For free the hinges did a GREAT job! They got you through the spot you needed them to any way. I travelled all over the world in the Air Force and done way more than most people, but I don't recall ever smelling an olive branch burn... Does it have a unique smell like pine, oak or cedar?
Hey Victor we agree not getting rid of will keep for maybe other stuff so defo come in handy. To be honest they dont smell much diff, maybe they do but hard to tell ❤
If you watch , Make Do Grow, they put some cool lighting in the cubby holes.i think it's their next to last video and it looks fantastic.
We don't watch them but thanks for sharing ❤
Hello lovely people,how big is your property?! Soon Spring will be coming.One Step at the Time.❤😊
Hey Edmond its 1.7acres ❤
G'Day Mate, that was a pretty good Aussie accent Dan, you almost sounded like a local =). Love that Laura was finally able to have a nice shower free of the rats, that's a real win after a big days work. The repair on the gate came up a treat with those new hinges, helped of course with Dan's awesome 'Man Bag" and the Pointing on the barn is looking so good, you two are officially experts now. I hope the tatties for tea were good and that the sound of the fire was like a special music for you both, you've both worked so hard on your piece of Heaven, keep enjoying it...can't wait for next week. Love from Oz 🦘🦘🦘
Hey Louise love that so funny ;) So glad you liked it and get the humour and yes the tatties were lovey always nice to have them. Such a lovely comment and really enjoyed reading what you wrote hope you have a lovely day ❤❤
Glad to see you back on your homestead. 🙋♂️🙏🐈🐈
We are too and should be working on the door area next video ❤
❤❤
Thanks Paul ❤
positive return great to see u again guys :))))))))))))))
Thanks for that means a lot ❤
See that take Laura home for 12 weeks and she comes back not speaking how she used to speak but full on Newcastle and even the new dog, was black and white (Magpie) colours, so could become a favourite, except it seemed to be keeping an eye on something else.
Hey Atholl and yes ha love it and yes good point black and white dog we are defo keeping it now ha ❤
❤
💚
Good to see you working in the right direction and enjoying it. Don't burn yourselves out by doing too much of the same job have a break for a bit then take something else. Keep the smiles coming and step back to see what you have achieved, I'm proud of you both
Hey Michael yea we agree just trying to really enjoy it all more and not put to much pressure on ourselves. We agree and such a lovey message really enjoyed reading and glad you get it 💚
Something that may help with the fence is a wheel for the bottom. It will take some of the weight off the hinges.
I love you guys. You are Amazing. Keep up the great work!❤
Hey Jean thanks for sharing the great idea and for the lovely comment 💚
Any news on the residency?
Be good to see the walls complete, then you guys will need to look at upgrading the roof and getting power into the building.
Not yet we still sorting a lot behind the scenes but that so much for been lovely and thinking of us 💚
Great to see you both so cheerful! Take care.
Thank you! You too ❤
Hey Dan you need to fit 2 coach bolts in the holes in the hinges otherwise the gate can drop
Thanks for sharing i found out that fast ha done now :) The next day it had dropped so sorted it
Hi Laura and Dan nice to see your the grass looks well now it’s been cut see your getting on with the pointing of the inside wall coming on good I bet you both love the baked potatoes on the fire in the evening stay safe friends
Hey Michael nice to hear from you again and it truly is we have lots to do but getting there. We cannot wait to share more and yes the Baked ps were so nice on the fire ❤❤
Love the work you two are doing. If you put a tarp in your truck bed then place your trimmings in when you get to your burn pile just pull the tarp out to unload the trimmings.
Hey Bruce that is a great tip thanks for sharing sometimes when doing a job its them little tips like that make a big difference :)
It's lovely having you back, take one day at a time and it will all come together. Hope you enjoyed your jacket potatoes ❤
Very wise words and so nice of you say we did they were so nice ❤
My favourite Portuguese desert definitely, it was also my first try at baking and a great success.❤
You are making me hungry ha 💚
A+ you two! A little everyday goes a LONG way!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎😎
So lovely of you to say hope you well 💚
Great to see you two back at the land and cracking on the barn again
So lovely of you Jan to say sending you love too 💚
Great progress being made on the pointing guys, those alcoves remind me of the ancient stone houses on the Orkneys such as Skara Brae.
The patterning on that dog is so beautiful, it looks as if its wearing a Friesian cow costume.
Hey Raymonde that sounds interesting thanks for sharing. We hope the dog stays :) ❤
I am glad that you can enjoy the benefits of the Iberian Peninsula. The English should open themselves more to Europe as Europeans, the young people who come enjoy your life project.
So nice of you too say ❤️
Glad to see you working on your homestead in Portugal.
So nice of you to say and thanks so much for the lovey support 💚
Salut mes chers amis ❤
❤❤
Hello you lovely people, how are you? Pointing looks great and nice you fixed the gate and put some new hinges on. The screws probably won't hold, maybe use some carriage bolts instead. Hahahaha...the Dan being fat comment made me think of that one famous football chant in the UK! "Who ate all the pies" Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤
Hey Bert nice to hear from you and thanks for that. We are doing great how are you doing? ha yes thats a funny chant ❤
Now you have had the rain, hope you stored it, so you need to sow ll veg seed now as the next rain could be 4-5 weeks away and you need to remember where you are is about 7 weeks ahead of back home, so don't delay or the seed won't germinate. Got all mine in today.
Hey Robert we agree and very wise words thanks for sharing. Glad you got yours today ❤❤
What a nice update ☺️
You're such lovely folk 😎✔️
Ola Señor Chubby 😂
Thank you and love it Señor Chubby :)
Hello young people, why don't you build a wooden building and windows around 2 sides of the stone hut. There would be a living room, kitchen and bathroom. It would be a removable construction in accordance with some Portuguese laws. They can also climb the roof of the hut and make a table with windows. Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷 💕🙏💚🌹🇧🇷❤🎉😊
Hey Sonia nice to hear from you and thanks for sharing the great ideas. We have a lot to think about but for now we are just going to stick to doing the main part of the barn and maybe add something like that later down line. Sending you lots of love in Brazil 💚
Those terrific happy hopeful smiles, just always lovely to see ‘em. Still praying for all your dreams to come true. Bless you both 🥰🙏😉🇨🇦
You are so kind Sandra such a lovely refreshing comment. Bless you too ❤
Everything is looking Great
Thanks for that hope you well ❤
Laura and Dan, the barn walls are looking good.
Thanks Maureen ❤
its definately moving forward now ...once the pointing is complete it will be a massive tick off your list and more or less ready to have a solid roof over your heads soon ,good work
Les really nice to hear from you and we agree we should be fixing up the door area next week so that will be good. We agree defo and thanks again hope all well in the north east ❤

So nice to see you guys ,settling in you have been missed !!!!!😊😊😊🇬🇷 🇬🇷
Thank you and you always so nice 😃
Hi Guys, hello from Canada, nice to see you back, nice job with the wall, hey about burning, clippings, get your self a shredder and use it as a ground cover around your trees, not a to large circle but enough to give back to the trees what they used from the soil they are growing on, so it is a good fertilizer and ground over for shading in a hot climate even the ashes from some of the stuff you still might burn also good fertilizer, and burning is not cool anyway, a lot of pollution for the atmosphere, avoid burning as much as you can, if you like the look of it very small fires give you the same pleasure, and by the way fires can start much bigger fires, even not wanted
Hey Roland nice to hear from you and thanks for lovely comment. We priced one up but they are too expensive out hear :( and just not worth the price. We used some of the larger ones for firewood and some for compost. Its out of fire season now so not possible. Thanks for watching ❤
Love watching the progress.
Thanks and glad you enjoying the vids ❤
