Hard to choose a favorite scene, but my heart always melts when I see how tame and affectionate your Kitties now are. You have clearly taken such good care of them. I am loving seeing the overall progress and the rooms starting to take shape.
Thank you so much 😽😽😽
Love the kitties, but they seem way over weight🤔 hmmm.
We had Ukrainian builders for our whole house remodel (house more or less abandoned for 20 years). They were fantastic!
You are working very well with the builders. So important to be with them everyday so that you can fix/rebuild things as you go along while having a great relationship with them. Old stone houses will always have wonky bits and pieces, part of their charm. Going over everything at the end of the day on your own is also important to make sure you have things where you want them. Good work all round.
Good job, thank you for choosing my country to live, it's good to have people like you for the evolution of Portugal. Welcome once again.
Nice to see the diplomacy used regarding the wall issue and the resulting continued camaraderie with your work team. And...my goodness...your skills with your new language! You two are so dedicated to any and all projects, including becoming proficient in communicating with your new community. Also, it's always so nice to watch the sweet and kind exchanges between you two...love rules. Same with the kitties. Wow...what's not to love?!
Yay, always such a treat to follow along, with every step you learn, we learn, and they are all steps forward and it is SO MUCH FUN to share it with you. Thanks so much for including us in on this incredible home creating project.
Awe Thanks 🙏 we love having you part of our community. It’s a grand adventure on our land without having to go looking for adventure ❤️🇵🇹✨🏰
I want to thank you for thinking of refreshments and hydration for the workers. Even in the U.S there are still employers that don't think of their worker's needs this way. My dad had a landscaping business and he always made sure his workers had cooling breaks, water and food. But there are some mean employers that still don't think of worker's rights so thank you for doing this you guys.
So true. My husband is lucky if he gets a thirty minute lunch.😢
Love that you’ve found your lil slice of Heaven on Earth! Your faces just shine with excitement and contentment. What a nice way to end your hard day of work with a beautiful and yummy dinner with friends. Very sweet. Keep up the great job you two. ❤
The cats are looking so healthy and content with you. 🥰🥰
Kitty Cats look so happy! Thank you for loving them! 🥰
❤ ❤❤ I’ve been watching you guys for years but this is my first time commenting. I look forward to having my coffee with you every Sunday. I love watching you create your new life in Portugal.
Thank you so much for sharing such a sweet comment! What a pleasure it is to know we get to share coffees and such special memories together 😽😽😽
Hi hi Britney & Drew.
This is Singaporean traveller whom you met in Iceland hot spring couple of days ago.
Finally, get to view your house building project.
All the best.🎉😊
I agree ,you pick the right place ,the right building everything is right. I love your area especially the waterfall.❤
❤️✨🏰🇵🇹
I've never seen building with concrete and brick like this. It's so cool to see how professional they are.
We are very impressed by their work too! 💪
It's not that much of a novelty to me but then again, I'm portuguese and this is how we do it. 🙂
The speed and knowledge of what they're doing is incredible.
We Ukrainians always do quality work 🇺🇦
I hope they incorporate the grindstone. It's a historical feature.
100% keeping it and preserving it as a focal point of our home! it is probably the most precious part of our magical watermill 🙏
Years ago my husband got me an aloe plant in a 4inch pot. I live in PA. I take it out every summer & try to find takers for all the new shoots. It’s so big now, it’s in a 1/2 barrel planter. It’s gone thru so much & survived, including flipping upside down from being top heavy, before it was up-potted. It has branches that almost 2 feet long.
I love how you're embracing the challenges of renovating your watermill, it's inspiring! 💪🏼
Excellent music choices and great time lapses in this one. Those guys work hard. Nice job guys
Love your vlogs you are both a breath of fresh air .
Thank you so much! 😘
I agree!
Water and power, please. Everything is looking amazing. Hard working men, crafting with their own hands awesome 💯😎
Stacking the laundry above the bathroom is such a great way of using the height to your advantage. Great ideas are always inspiring.👍
You guys make my Sundays a blast 😎. Andy is my fav, he should be more of a regular
I wish youtube had multiple like buttons, I want to press it everytime the kitties are there ;) xx
😘 😻 xx
WOWSA ! Now, I have an inclination of whomever may have built my house in Michigan. Basement walls for foundation are nearly 2 feet thick! ( 1934 ). Took me weeks to chisel out a hole for the drains to go thru to septic! I was in 5th grade at the time, all with hand tools, no fancy
drills back then for us . Sure was good training for patience.
(Side walls)
It did seem unusual that they did not place rebars into side's bricks or DIP them INTO WATER, to clean them, as Andi stated. THAT'S ALOT OF CEMENT WEIGHT ATOP !
Hopefully, they somehow adjoined floor to the side wall with a stronger rebar.
Sending you all our love from Portugal on this beautiful Spring day 🌷Did you have a favorite scene in this episode? Let us know below 😘
xx, Britty e Drew
Honestly, I'm a fan of all of it. I really enjoy seeing a sequence at the end of the video that showcases everything that got done, it's great seeing the kitties and you and Drew enjoying each day together, there was a super cool shot of the crew's truck backed down to the mill on a crazy angle, the lushness of this season and all the lovely green things and tumbling water, and when you have them, drone shots that show how the mill fits into the landscape. I think I'm going to have to figure out how to leverage my Spanish into conversational Portuguese because you've done such a wonderful job showing the Algarve. Fun dreams for the future. Oh, and PS LOVED the Jazz soundtrack on this one. :D
Such an exciting time for you. Thank you for sharing it with us.😊❤
Дуже радий, що ваше будівництво гарно рухається з допомогою українців!
Так, у шафі дуже важливі точні кути, інакше одяг буде дуже м'ятись))😅
Olá, todas as cenas são boas, mas 19:13 19:13 19:13 a que mais se destacou, foi vocês a comunicar com os pedreiros ,elas não falam inglês e vocês não falam russo (supostamente são dos países do leste) mas resolveram falar português e todos se entenderam 😊❤🇵🇹
@@user-pq2no5sh8l Дякую тобі. Ми дуже раді, що вони будують наш будинок 😁🏰
The bathroom is going to be awesome! Who doesn’t like a view of the forest while sitting on your porcelain throne! 🌳🦌🌳🚽🧻
We do! 🙋♂️
As you handed your worker a mask I was just about to say why no one’s wearing a mask Thanks Drew- safety first. Super great video..👍
YOU CAN PEEL THE TURNIP AND COOK IT IN SOUP LIKE A POTATO. YOU CAN ALSO COOK IT LIKE A POTATO AND EAT IT WITH SOMETHING LIKE BEEF STEW.
ANY KIND OF MEAT WITH GRAVY. SO HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS. THE HOUSE IS COMING ALONG VERY NICELY. LOVE Y'ALL
I love this crew so much. Such talent and dedication to their craft. I am so very sorry for what is happening in their home country, and send prayers to them. Are they willing to meet us through your interviewing them a little? Names, hobbies, things they do for fun, etc?
Hey Brit & Drew I just can’t believe the progress inside house as this team of builders are incredible working in unison! 💜💙🇦🇺🐨
This episode was so much fun!! The homestead is coming along so nicely! Thanks for bringing us along ❣️
Sou brasileira e não entendo nenhuma palavra em inglês! Mas eu acompanho esse canal desde o começo dessa obra! E vou compreendendo somente pelas expressões faciais que transmitem... amor, alegria e orgulho do que vocês veem construindo!! Parabéns ao casal! Admiro a visão de vocês, de tornar essa antiga casa em seu lar ❤👏🏽👏🏽
It will always look worse before it gets better especially working in rock and stone walls. Great work being done for y’all. Much love to all ❤.
Compared to the average north American home, the building materials and practices being used on your castle are so much more stabile and durable. Impressive. Also - good soundtrack choices this time, Brit!
That place will last for few hundred years on
Amen! 💪and thank you! finding the right music is all about setting and matching the right vibe 😎
Transforming the interior, one wall at a time.
you must get Andy back for the steps down to the stream love watching your progress
I weeped as I clicked on the comment box. I am so blessed to get to write to you. I like seeing the walls go up and electrical boxes go in. Too bad electrical inspection approval take so long. Yippie, thank you.
Please ask the engineers about the wall, especially if it's a weight-bearing wall, don't always trust contractors. Cheers.
It's amazing to see how far the process has come! Your home will soon be functional with all the comforts of home!!
Another fabulous video! What a blessing to have this crew who not only work hard for you, , but work well WITH you! Its always so interesting to see the ways, methods and materials that are commonly used around the world compared to a remodel job here in the States! All the bricks, blocks, rock and cement is completely understandable with the woodworm and molds you have over there. No wonder buildings stand for centuries over there!
I definitely will pray that you won't have to wait that long for power, or water! Thankful you do have the option of generators in the meantime! I loved the Angel clouds! I've seen some amazing ones too! Loving reminders... The meal with your friends looked amazingly delicious, and I can only imagine how wonderful it smelled!!!
Always looking forward to seeing what you share next! Blessings on you and this wonderful project!
Now that the interior is being done you can see a beautiful home emerging. So exciting for you guys.
What a feast at the end! Looked amazing! And I bet Drew sleeps very well and hard these days after the mucho manual labor he puts in. And Brittany, just keep the goodies going to all of your strong men on the property. Appreciation with rewards always goes a long way. You guys were my 1st Sunday video today, I couldn't wait to see what's been going on. Happy for you two.
Your home will not fall apart , exceptional tradesmen, hard work ,
Such hard work - I admire this beautiful renovation ❤ Great progress. I also love watching the sweet kitties.🐈😻😻
Brittany When I heard you say “fixe”, I laughed. I didn't even notice that you put the translation in the video (I pulled it back to listen again and that's when I saw it). It was so natural...
So happy for you two! Looks great! Those are some amazing hard working men! 💪🏼💪🏼
I just have to say the introduction is perfect! Take a deep breath….ahhh. Best resetting at day end. Now I can really relax and get into the vlog!
I find myself repeating myself. The work you and your crew are putting, is absolutely fenomenal.👏👏Those Ukrainians really have a good handle of the Portuguese language, which I know first hand is not easy, especially the grammar. I only realized how difficult it is when my daughters started asking me the “whys and “why nots “and frankly, most of the time I couldn’t answer because my grammar rules had long gone out the window.🤣🤣 Yeah, those half metre european stone walls are no joke. Your kiddies have come a long way. 🇨🇦🇵🇹
Great job. The respectful conversation about your concerns are very important. Good job on both you and the builder.
The Ukrainian builders certainly put in a hard day's work, no slacking off, looks beautiful the stream running so fast at the moment, every day a bit closer to your dream home,🙏❤️😌
Interesting analogy Drew,a body needing veins and arteries. You will appreciate this house a lot when it is done.
No safety gear for those guys ! Boy this isn’t US 🇺🇸
Each video is so satisfying! Your storytelling is 💯.
Looking great, what a team you have working for you. Having listened to your voice for quite a while Britney I think you would have a lovely voice for doing audiobooks. Glad it’s all going to plan for you and Drew, nice episode interesting seeing it coming together 😊😊❤❤
Oh Mr Adventure, is a great feeling to have when you are so proud of the house you own. The place is looking so good , keep going it will worth it.
Incredible progress. If you can't get mains electricity connected initially will you be able to use a mix of solar and generator initially? Are you putting a wood burning stove in downstairs? Couldn't live without ours and it would be a useful heat source if you had a power cut. The dinner with your friends looked delicious. ❤
Love watching your watermill home being transformed. Also interesting to watch your workers from differeing countries and how they do things. Love the different cultures and languages. I'm to sick of America; I envy you being in Portugal instead of the mess our governmnet has gotten us into in the good ol USA. You buys life is like a pleasant excage. Thanks for sharing it all.
I absolutely love how the construction and transfermation is progressing. All the best.
Watching your videos always make me smile, thanks!
I am so vested in your life style. I’m always sad when your video ends. Such a beautiful channel. God bless you both. Praying for you ❤
In bathrooms the mirror is usually put in front of the sink. Putting the sink in front of the window will make the view interesting, but where are you going to put the mirror? Just a thought.
Turnips are excellent prepared like mashed potatoes. Peel them cube them and boil them, add butter and milk and mash. I love them
Congratulations Brittany and Drew on another Sunday of complete success 😘
It is so wonderful to see your dreams coming true. Another awesome video.
The most exciting episode to date. I can see your vision come to life. I am looking forward to more. . Very exciting
Now the watermill is in progress after the hard working group the room starting to take on this project after a right decision for both of you but you always shows an incredible joy of everything the cats looks lovely so caring keep the courage happy to watch see you bye
Your home "restoration" looks great You all are so blessed with good friends & good builders there in Portugal plus a very special blessing from 3 sweet 😻😻😻
Injoy your Beautiful Dinner with your friends.❤ Raquel.
I love the way you speak about your helpers from Ukraine and the way you look at all the help you got from others ! You two are such a heartwarming people ❤❤😊😊
It's beautiful to see your dream coming to life!
Definitely my favourite episode so far! Amazing progress!
Love following this channel! Can I please urge you (and the workers 😮) to wear (ear / dust) protection?! Those grinders really kill your ears...
I understand your feelings about not wanting to miss the building work, as it is so interesting seeing them work. They are using tools I have never seen lol. The speed that they are working at it wont be long before you can move in. They are incredible workers and wonderful that you can discuss and change/remodel things. Oh the cats are such wonderful pets now, you have really changed them as they arent wild things anymore, they were purring away when you stroked them. What a wonderful thought thinking about when you all move in and the kitties make it their home too. Loved your skirt Brittany xx
You make my Sundays a lot better!!
Back at ya! ❤️
Brittany.The Music is so great to Listen to I never heard it before it is Beautiful.And the Man are doing a great job.Please Let them know from a Grandma in Bakersfield, California.Thank you Both Drew, and Brittany for Letting Us be a part of all your Dreams.Love all of you.🐈🐈🐈And your Baby's.Love you guys Grandma Raquel.

Wow! So much happening! So glad you were able to work out the changes that needed to be made. Impressed with your Portuguese language skills. Looks like a beautiful dinner. Love from Mary in SoOC 💗 and prayers that you get power and electricity quickly!🙏
I loved watching north americans and ukranians speaking portuguese with each other and understanding perfectly. I feel awesome as a portuguese. Thanks guys :)
Nabos! I really like nabos. Peel them and have them boiled with salt. When they are soft are ready. Put Olive oil, vinager on top and pepper
Drew, Brittany.Your forever Home I Pray for good.Love you guys Grandma Raquel.🤗.
Wow! Your place is getting better and better!! Good catch on that part of the wall. You got great contractors and honest! Can't wait until your dream place is completed . I know, it's still a longgg way to go. 😊❤❤
Wow, those were some great friends! Drew, how could you almost forget about going to that dinner?? ❤❤
Fabulous progress! Those builders are hard-core... no protective wear, just get in, slog away, and get done. ❤
You have been so fortunate to find such skilled workers and then have such a good rapport with them. Things are really looking great.
I so admire your hard work,best of all I adore your little giggles
Soup. With carrots and onions and garlic. You could add spinach after you purée the base soup.
You two look so happy with your new home. Can’t wait to see the end result. ❤❤
Amazing work! It’s going to be enchanting! 24:06
So excited for you guys! It looks like construction is moving along fast! 18 months for electrical approval sounds absolutely insane though! Find out who's in charge of that and work your magic 😂 You guys are so awesome how could they resist lol... ❤ Love your show (more like love your life)!
Brittany you are thriving at the Mill and Drew you are so energetic and eager to learn it is so special how you and Brittany work with the locals it proves people are good and when it comes to ethnicity we really are all the same at heart ❤️ respect love and care makes such a better world and life for us all. Kindness wins all the time and tolerance at 69 yrs of age so proud of you both. 💙💙🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
This is incredibly exciting and the speed at which it is surging ahead is wow 😃

The gnarly part of the home build. Hang in the there ! All the best
Funny watching Brit walking in the big boots and handing out orange pieces 😂
Love the remodel of your water mill design that make your house appearance
Que maravilha o castelo da bela adormecida está acordar nao vejo a hora de ver o castelo acabado. Muitos parabens meus amígos bem hajam ❤️❤️🩵
God bless you 🙏🏼 🇺🇸🐈🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛🐱🐱
Great progress.. I’m so glad you are on-site every day. Picking the wall problem on the spot was a good save. Now that the stairs are going in I can finally visualise what you are doing😂
Cheers and good luck moving forward 🌸🌸
Drew be mindful that they aren’t creating channels and cavities that may compromise the structural integrity of those walls. It’s great to see this beautiful property become blessed with your love of caring for it!
Hey guys, mashed turnip and carrot is delicious. A little butter and and brown sugar or maple syrup makes it perfect. The house looks amazing!
