    I really enjoy seeing what you've been accomplishing and I love the tidy front of the house - so nice to come home to a welcoming front door! You just work steadily and get it done, which is what I've found works well as I've aged; we're in our mid-70's now so can't do as much as we once could - nor as fast, so slow and steady wins the race! We bought our current house 3 years ago after 33 years on a large wooded property in another state and have spent the last 2 years remodeling and adding on to our house. We've had a great contractor and crew to do all the big stuff and to show us how to do smaller, easier projects. We've learned new skills, worked hard, and know the wonderful satisfaction of completed projects! Your white board updates are great and I look forward to seeing your progress on the grounds, pergola, inside of house, etc. Thanks for showing us all that we can do more than we once thought we could! - Kay, aka to our FB friends as the Renaissance Woman, from Indiana, USA

    Love watching your world. Your front is certainly really nice now. I get it that you need the chaos to get things done. I have just moved into my forever home (at 71) and finally, yesterday, managed to cut right back all the overgrown vegetation. Now to clear the mess with a mulcher. Just step by step is all you can do. Well done with your progress.

    Hey Kirsty! The front of your house is looking soooo good! It must be nice to have the rain and see the green around your property. Your list of things accomplished every month has been really long. I'm glad that you're taking a bit of a rest with your friends and enjoying the holidays. On other channels I've been hearing how much time it takes to produce videos every week for our entertainment. I really appreciate the time you take. As far as the movement at Sinead's, it's nice to hire people to do some work to help out. Having people who do these things as a living makes fast work of it all. (except when Woody goes missing!) It's good that you're there for her as well. Your skill set, although hard won, is going to help in the future. I'm looking forward to seeing the interior of your place rendered the way you like it. I'm sure that will give you a sense of accomplishment. I hope you have a great week and I'm looking forward to seeing the front garden develop too. It's getting closer to Christmas!! Take care, Angela

    These videos are exciting to watch and the pointing is top class. Great to see such fast progress on Sineads place and just à thought Kirsty could the digger man set your stones for your Storage workshop which would take the enormous strain off lifting these monsters. Tis joyful to watch women help each other and looking forward to Satcha joining in when yee tackle forest

    • @PortugalfromScratch
      @PortugalfromScratch  День назад

      Hi, I'm glad you're enjoying the progress! I could have... maybe. 'm using smaller stones and the red of my land where the shed will be isn't really accessible from my own land, it would have to be on the neighbour's and the treads really rip things up. I might use a digger in the future for a stone wall, but my shed's stem wall isn't going to be too big so I'm hoping I can handle it whenever the time comes to push on. 🙂

  • @studious_artichoke
    @studious_artichoke День назад +1

    Have you considered getting a chainsaw file and sharpening the chain yourself? I learned this year when I was chopping up a lot of firewood. It doesn't take long to learn how and then you can just sharpen as you go. It's more convenient and much safer to have a properly sharp chain at all times.

    • @PortugalfromScratch
      @PortugalfromScratch  15 часов назад

      I actually have the file, just not the knowledge and experience. It costs €2.50 and takes a few minutes at the shop though, so I'm not in a rush to figure it out but I will one day. 🙂

    I love your channel but for those of us who watch every episode, I find a whole episode of the recap a teeny bit tedious, we just watched the whole thing. Just a humble opinion. It will be so wonderful to have the view from the window.

    • @PortugalfromScratch
      @PortugalfromScratch  17 часов назад +2

      I can't wait for the window... so close now! I do these update videos as an extra so you still get all the usual videos, so there's no harm in just skipping past. These videos don't get as many views as my usual ones but I like to do them to keep a diary for myself and many people like them, too.

      I'm also curious about this! 🤣 My design challenge is how far to extend it... the whole front or just the side by the window. And what should I do above the door... I have lots of stuff to figure out and when I start working on the drawings soon I'll be sure to share. 🙂
