House renovation is thirsty work, especially an old Finca (Spanish farmhouse), so if you would like to buy us a coffee or even a beer, you can do so here: www.buymeacoff.... It would be very much appreciated.

I didn’t know capers grew on bushes!
I wanted you to know that chickens are range animals. They need a wide range of land to forage in. What some people do when they have chickens is let them out during the day to forage. When they get to know you, when let out, they will follow you around when you are outside just like any other of your pets. You can train them go into their pen at night.
I realize that your ground does not yield a lot of forage plants but they also need the exercise too. When they are in very small pens like this, the deficate all over the place and often step in it. This has the potential to make them sick.
Hen houses need big windows for ventilation.
🌧Rain! Fingers crossed for you for a decent amount of rain! 🌧
PS. Alfie is the cutest fencing assistant ever, if not the most helpful. 😺
The coup is coming along nicely Andy especially with Sharon helping. The walls are really a beautiful feature for the whole Finca thanks to your hard work. Look forward to ever video you put out as it’s always interesting and informative. 👍🏽😎
Course you gonna get rain, could see the Chem trails in the sky! 😎
Nice fencing looks great already. Yes indeed let them walk free during the day! You will see that's much better at the end
Maybe you should start a caper farm business. Seems like the capers thrive without water. The chicken coop will be quite nice. A bit of grass for them would be good for them, but I know that would be hard to maintain,
Hoping for a good amount of rain for you and oh my goodness your chickens are going to be so happy.
👍
What about a window? Ventilation is needed and also to bed the fence under the earth to stop foxes or any other animal that would like a chicken dinner.😢
You might want to consider filling in the space under the gate. I've seen others having to restrict access to other animals that want to get in to the coop. They seem to find their way in the tiniest of spaces. Otherwise it's looking very good and I'm sure you'll be making more great additions
Great work you two, as always ! 🙏 For rain ! 💗👍😊
Wishing you a good rain, we should send you some.
Last weekend we had about 10” 250mm..
Yes a lot, and very disruptive to our community..
looking forward to seeing hens in your coop🐥🐥
An excellent hen house!👍👍
You make such a good team
Nice you have to each another and do the work together🎉
buy net stretchers only 1.30 € each
Fantastic results, as always.

Hi both. I always put water in the hole before the concrete to make sure ther is plenty of moisture .😊
Cats and chainlink eh....lol😄😄😄😄
Be careful to close the bottom of the chicken-wire carefully. There's your emaciated fox around!
Good Afternoon Sharon and Andy ❤. I am also overheating down here 🇯🇲🦎🐠. At least we have had a lot of much needed rain. Now the Sahara Sand has return . Roller blind is good idea. Think about a shade cloth over the water tank
Seems like a small enclosure for chickens. Are they going to be free range during the day?
I do so hope so. It is essential for them to range so they do not kill what plants are there for them. If you get only a couple you can keep track of them. In fact when you are out, they will probably be following you around. Chickens can kill plants from over grazing.
There is a further área at the front of the coup
❤❤❤❤❤
Andy, someone gave me the tip when looking to dig dry compacted earth was to treat it like stone and drill around it with a good length and size wood bit to drill the ground, works wonders 😂
Are you ok after the storms? ❤️
thanks - we're absolutely fine - it's all in the next video
Oi, you poor things. 65 days of d-r-yiiiiiii. Here, catch. Oodles of wet, and cold for this time of the year for us and we aren't THAT far from you but it's over the Alps, north of you. I don't think we'll get any summer. It's been great watching your applied patience to the stone walls turn into something really worth while looking at. Rescuing spiders, what next. Snakes? 😉 The coop extension turned out super. Very solid. Very functional. I read recently where you've got to be careful which solar automatic you select. I think I'd choose the doors opening from the side as opposed to the guillotine types.
Hi Sharon and Andy,
Are you no longer doing a Sunday vlog and just doing a Thursday one now? Apologies if you have already mentioned this and I missed it! I have been following your journey and when I subscribed you only had 70 subscribers so congrats on now having over 10k. All best wishes.
Thanks and yes, we have had to cut down to one video a week but it should be a longer one - It's super time consuming making two videos every week.
@@FincaLife Totally understand and thanks for letting me know.
Hello friends
Hey both of you, pleased to see you’re both cracking on and sorry I’ve missed a few weeks..we’ve had a mad month or so, selling cars, buying a motorbike, tonnes of diy and decorating and then two MOTs on Saturday…on my birthday ha ha..crazy..thankfully both cars passed, a birthday miracle!..anyhow, I’m now finally catching up on the few videos I’ve missed!..just a quick question please…what do you eat capers with?..is it a snack with a drink or a side dish or something?..I’m intrigued, never tried them!..oh, ps, it’s Mark..just remembered I changed my RUclips name again ha ha - I’ve gone back to the original name I started with like 10 years ago, I’ve come full circle 😂…anyhow, pleased you’re both well and I’m working my way through the other videos! 😀👏🏼
Thanks Mark and welcome back! Glad you got everything sorted. Capers are the basis of tartar sauce and go well with any fish. They are also great with salads and on pizza etc. You don't need many, just a few adds a nice strong taste explosion - a bit like cardamon pods in curry
Didnt you get the rain storm murica has just had x
Yes lol but our videos are a little in advance - It's all in the next one
Sharon, just a tip from me, woman to woman. Always let the man take the lower part when carrying things, going up hill/steps. That's the heavier distribution part and we women do not have the same forearm strength and structure as our male counterparts. 😊
😭
Good advice. 👍🏽
Sharon, have you ever seen a scorpion on your land?
Yes, we get them from time to time - thankfully not too many. They are usually hiding under stones...
Hello, what's happend with your 2 Dogs? Greetings
It is all on video if you just look back to previos ones😮
Hi Andy, quick question. Why did you mix the concrete for this project rather than watering in a dry mix like in previous videos?
We always mix the concrete dry and then water it in, just as we did in this video.
@@FincaLife Got you. Should have watched the video a bit longer 👍👍👍
🌟👏👍🍀💐
