Again, I’m 73 and come from the days of rotary phones and no seat belts. Get with it all now before you get entrenched in the crotchity. Get a good child proof case, join the cloud and listen to Tara. She understands the assignment. And give her the yellow tile.

    Genuinely not saying this for the sake of following other comments but I absolutely get that a splash of yellow would be stunning..whether on a tiny tile or a piece of art. In a small space a blot of yellow catches the eye and is like a glimpse of sunshine. It's cheery. I'm married to a builder..builders look at the practical ..the job..partners look at the finishes..the colour..making the space come alive. 💛

    John, take it from a woodworker - seal the insides of your drawers and cabinets with polyurethane. The raw wood absorbs humidity from the unfinished side. It will eventually warp your panels. Just a pro tip.

    I love how relaxed you guys are as parents. I am afraid I was a bit of a helicopter mom; running around trying to keep my daughter out of harms way. It was hard for me to relax enough to let her explore on her own…. I also love how much the Portuguese love kids and seemingly have them involved with everything. Seeing Crusoe and Sawyer picking grapes (and eating them of course) and riding in the diggers, running around in bare feet, and helping you do all sorts of things is sooo much fun. I am sure you have exasperated moments but I don’t know how you get things done with those two active explorers!

    Why is this episode so funny?
    Already the first minutes made me laugh so much!!!
    Two boys behind a stone table looking guilty... how did you manage to catch such a sight, bc I´m sure you didn´t scold Saywer!!
    Taking away his fruits as punishment...hihi! No way your heart can endure that!!!
    You little argument was so refreshing!
    "...no no no, let me nag!! " Tara, you are the best! I giggled so much!!!
    Well John, one point for Tara with protecting you phone if it´s the only "camera" you have!!
    The kitchen is looking great, it is comming together!!!
    But the most beautiful moment was.. the valley in the clouds!!!
    Thank you for this episode and the brilliant music!!

    a lifetime of working in IT support has me hoping you listen to Tara here and get the cloud backup running. It will make your life so much easier. Also some cases on the phones these days render your device near bomb proof. Working around kids and power tools and being 500 euros lighter in the wallet will hopefully seal that deal. Perfect for a new channel sponsor :)

    I think your kitchen is going to be pretty! The only thing it’s lacking is a small yellow tile (sorry John, I had to throw that in 🤭). On a more serious note…is it just the camera angle making that lovely oak trim on the backsplash look uncomfortably close to the flame of the cooktop? When you laid it up there I was like “nice” for a moment and then “oh, wait a minute” the next 🤔.

    I actually had 2 big yellow sinks in my kitchen in the United States, they were absolutely gorgeous and always made me happy. One was in the island and the double sink was in the wrap around counters. The camera top was some stone from Italy because my husband's Italian. It was black with this beautiful iridescent blue, like blue morpho, blue. It was really pretty, I miss that kitchen.

      Chris, yellow is a great colour for the sun and some flowers, especially lily’s. But in kitchens yellow is basically a non starter. It’s a law of some obscure country, somewhere. I think.

      OK team, this is John here, now, you all know how I like things to be just so, and how design is important to me. My answer to get a case is this: if apple wanted the iPhone to be twice the size and made of rubber, they would have built it so! 😂😂😂 Tara just piped in and said Apple do sell cases… this is quite right, however that to me is like buying a sofa and no removing the plastic for fear it might get dirty! Not getting a case!! 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ thoughts and debate open and welcome below!!!
