Extending the truss for overhang can be added by the piece that will eventually act as your soffit support.
Hi Betty! Thanks so much for all the support friend. I am sure you will be able to fit enough clothes in a 26" bag for a trip to Italy, especially if you have versatile clothes and a washer. Should be good to go! Here is the link you can use to purchase yours: shorturl.at/klmAR make sure to use the code THENEWBYS15 to get your discount ❤️❤️
Things are going so quickly!!!
You manage to take care of a property, doing renovations, raise two toddlers, and keep those gorgeous smiles on ypur faces! And the way you look at each other! "There's my beautiful wife"! - yes she is, and so is all the family!
Thank you Nicas. It definitely takes a village and we are so thankful for all the help ❤️❤️
So true! Love the Newby's!
I love John’s patience with Sawyer and Crusoe- amazing! 😊
John again I will say you never cease to amaze me. That is hard work for 1 person. I love how Tara face beams with pride. ❤❤ You guys and girl are the best.
Thank you for this lovely compliment friend! ❤️❤️
Evrybody needs a John👍
Saywer is getting curls❤️
Love to watch.
Greetings from Germany
🙋♀️🌸👋
You are all amazing 🤩
No matter what you are doing, you stop and listen to Cruso/Sawyer. Yes you are filming but still, more patience then I can remember ever having!
I always hate it when an episode ends…..Always a delight to hear and watch. Thank you 😊
I love your little dog, he was the missing piece of your lovely family puzzle ❤. And Sawyer walking with his arms linked behind his back like a rich older gentleman surveying his land, so cute ❤
I love that comparison of John and Sawyer walking! I’m constantly noticing how the boys look, sound, or behave just like you two.
I remember hearing my kids repeat things I often said but didn’t realize that I said them! It was rather eye opening!
It is Debbie! Crusoe listens a little too carefully sometimes ;) 😂😂
Wait till you hear your kids saying the same things to their own kids in years to come, puts a smile on your face! 😊
@@lindachenoweth9002 I can’t wait! My daughter is delaying kids to have a dance career. (She just started dancing at Disneyland!) I guess it’s going to be a few years, but I’m ready for when the time comes.
I have to say Tara, if you ever figure out how to bottle your son's smiles and giggles for sale, you will never have to work another day in your life!
John, you have inadvertently explained why the old practice of students getting jobs as apprentices working towards a license or certification was so valuable. We are just beginning to realize that we never should have stopped offering that to students. Thank you for that.
You Newbys certainly get a move on quickly! This bathroom could be finished in a blink.
Blessed Be!
You are so kind Abigail! Thank you 🙏🏼 ❤️
You two are living life just the way it is meant to be lived. And John, you are one high functioning man. Wow. Kudos on doing what you love and loving what you do (my motto).
Thank you John for delegating parts of this project to the professionals; what did Clint Eastwood say; a man needs to know his limitations! Well done you!
The bike analogy was THE BEST!!! So simple but so profound. Thank you for sharing this with us. You four are my favorite 🤩
Thanks so much for watching Anita! ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
I loved that too
The Newbys still need a cat.
I love how John waits patiently for the pencil from Crusoe and when Crusoe has finished his drawing he releases the pencil to dad and gives him the drawing and John says 'you drawing the project? pretty good. Will I take it up the ladder with me so I've got something to copy.' and Crusoe looks at mom while twisting the pencil in his hands looking at mom with a smile beaming ear to ear. John and Tara, my mom in law did this to my daughter when she was about 8 years old she had sewn a little dress by hand for her barbie doll and she gave it to my mom in law to inspect. Well it was a lump of cloth all sewn into a very tight object and all my mom in law said to her was ' darling that is so beautiful, as granny was still not sure what it was and what she must do with it, she asked 'where must it go'? (my daughter was holding the barbie in her hand) and she pointed at the doll and said it is 'a dress granny for my barbie'. I realized she did not want to offend my daughter but tactfully asked her what she must do with it, I have never forgotten this and learnt from that example and my daughter felt she had done something very well in the eyes of her granny and felt important. You are doing this with your sons very tactfully put John and Crusoe felt very happy and secure in the knowledge dad liked my drawing .The house is coming on in leaps and bounds and Tara your face looking at John who was beaming from ear to ear about his roof supports and the time was bang on. Have a lovely day and your little farm is gorgeous. Love the flowers in the new wall area John and Jao made by the new build. Stunning.
It's all coming along and will look great when done. I loved Sawyer copying daddy with his hands behind his back ❤
Thanks Faith!! ❤️❤️
Oh it’s getting very exciting! So much going on. I love it! Good choice on the gold faucet Tara. John you are amazing! You can figure out just about anything, and it’s fun to watch. Love Sawyer walking like dad! Crusoe always wanting to help is so adorable. I love this family so much! These videos are so entertaining! Much Love Newbys! ❤
John is a natural wood worker/ builder. It’s amazing , what you do!! The two of you complement each other. You both have been blessed. Love watching your place, and the kids grow! Thank you!
Oh wow, Sawyer is growing up so quickly. Following in his older brother’s footsteps by helping dad and learning new things. John you never cease to amaze me with your talents. The roof beams are fabulous but John please be careful with your shoulder. Good that you have the experts in for the plumbing of the bathroom, you can’t do everything yourself especially the speed in which you need it finished, loving the taps Tara. Your mum could sleep in the other tiny house / office, it’s a lovely wee place and I am sure she would be very comfortable. Remember the most important thing for your mum is spending time with you all ❤xx
Hello little family, I find it hilarious and amazing that you both can stay focused on difficult building requirements while the boys are so busy in such a distracting way, it makes me laugh, here you are creating a vid, designing a roof and keeping an eye on the ever exploring boys, and let's not forget Obi. Great juxtaposition of shots between the noise and dust created by the plumbers and the beauty and tranquility of the gardens and flowers. I absolutely loved this episode, thank you so much, cheers!!!🥰😘👍👍👍🙏
Thank you Frances! ❤️❤️
Great job On the rafters. It’s amazing how much you two can get done with two little supervisors. Take care.
This is lovely to watch. Johns gleaming face seeing the wood coming. Yes, all these projects one could do.... and you are good in everything!! (Well, we all know not the pluming, but if needed you still do the job).🎉
Oh man, two toddler boys and a puppy is genuine, silly chaos. Every child should grow up with a pet - Obi is so perfect and adorable. Did you ever find your missing boot? I remember losing my gumboots in a giant mire of mud and cow s@#$, and stomping home in my wet, muddy socks, across the field, crying. The neighbour, Penny, heard me, and came to my rescue, washing out my socks, going back to find my mired boots, bringing them, and me, back to my mom.
It’s amazing how many RUclipsrs are making themselves homes so they have home base since the last lock down. Travel Beans is still looking, but Max and Occy, Raya and Louis, Mr and Mrs Adventure, Eamon and Bec, the Newbys 😊and Kingin it all have a home base now…. I’m sure tons more…. And most are still filling that travel bug in the process. Well done you both…..❤❤❤❤
Like Tara said, "This is surely epic." I love how the project is going. Well done, John.
I honestly don’t know how you two do everything that you do!
Nurturing two young children (and you do it beautifully!) Numerous building projects, taking care of the farm, vegetable growing, chickens, puppy - AND hosting guests??!!
If you could bottle what you’re on - I’d buy a pint!!!😂❤️
I giggle every time I see sawyer walking with his hands behind his back, precious
Kidds groving fast. They are so sweet. Funny to see them do as dad do. Crouso Walk with the hands on his back as dad do.😄👍
I'm sure everything will be done in time as always. It's looking good so far, can't wait to see the finished results. Love seeing Sawyer showing his personality and mimicking Dad's walking...had a good laugh coz it's so darn cute! Love how you two work so well together Tara!
The flowers in the yard are telling us how wonderful they feel 🌼🌺🌸
So much patience with the boys….how wonderful. Jon…always amazes me with his building ideas. So much to do alone. That roof…wow!! Glad George will do the plumbing. Jon’s got enough on his plate! Tara….keep your sanity…so much going on with 2 little boys and a dog too. Two weeks before his mom arrives.
My mom taught us that French phrase when were little to use instead of saying "shut up" :) Thanks for bringing back that memory!
😂 Tara, I think the welly & flip flop was a great combo. Your videos never fail to brighten up my day. Thanks guys!
Hi Newbys, wow John….well done.. roof so far amazing. Fingers crossed the bathroom gets done in time for your mom’s visit. How lovely the children get to spend time with both side grandparents. Stay well.
Watching you guys is such a pleasure in my week. Great work on the roof, it looks amazing.
Thank you for all your support Kirsty ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
You guys do such a good job with the episodes I really feel like I’m watching a network show. I’m not even kidding.
Thank you Lynn 🙏🏼❤️
I agree. The quality is top notch.
John, nice work on the bird's mouth and top-plates! Those are challenging cuts and you managed it masterfully!
Like father, like son, so true! I love it!
John, your hard work is paying off. I am no expert but those beams don't look treated. Is there concern of bowing happening an issue, or will you be using noggins?
You two are incredible minding those two boys and working. I look forward to your mom coming. Love and hugs to you all.❤
I love the tap. It’s very pretty. Roof trusses are even prettier than that. Splendid progress. Cheers!
I was delighted when John said he was ‘chuffed’ about the ceiling struts. And Tara commenting on his happy expression while he was off camera was very sweet. Chuffed is a great word. It’s even better than gobsmacked. IMO! ❤
Så duktig du är John,du är en proffsbyggare. Taket blir jättefint. Det är lite jobbigt med hundvalpar dom äter På allt, våran hund åt stora hål på en fin matta. Så härligt att ni får ett fint badrum.❤
Looks like y’all are making good progress. Glad you all have some help with plumbing. The flowers looks so pretty outside the doorway. 🌸🌼🌸
I love the way the boys mimic dad walking, so awesome. And Tara listening to everything said with the standard wife tone of (oh will you just hurry up, i forgot what you said already), i know that tone to well rofl.
Just loved the end so much!!!! 😂😂 "Fermez la bouche" et "asseyez vous"!! I also remembered my school days!! 😃😅😂
John makes this look so easy!!! Tara's eyes says everything...such a pleasure!!
❤️❤️
It's looks sooo good, must feel amazing to see it come together! I wish I was as handy and patient as John with projects 😊 Sawyer is a copy of dad, so funny to see!
I think it’s interesting that half way around the world, we use the some of the same tool brands. Everybody builds with the same OSB board too. Our tools come from Germany and Japan, that I recognize, America, and probably Portugal as well. We eat food grown all over the world, like Mexico. Thailand, Africa, and eat fish from Norway and Alaska to name a couple. We are so connected and I am sitting in the U.S. watching you in Portugal. I think it’s really amazing.
John the more I watch the progress you make on the farm the more impress I am of you. If I only lived in Portugal to learn from you and also give you a helping hand. Your son are lucky to have you and of course Tara to learn all these great skills from.
Oh my, Im exhausted just watching all the work in this video. John, you are a master craftsman. Tara, I like the tap you picked.
How exciting to have Johns mom coming for a visit. Tara, its lovely how proud and encouraging you are of Johns work. You are a very special couple.
❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
The extension looks as if it has always been there. I do admire the fact that your improvements are compatible with the farm style.
I'm getting so excited about all your achievements. You guys are awesome. Sorry to mom you're landing on the couch. ❤
Tara everything is looking amazing!!
Great work John!!
The boys and Obi ard just adorable ❤
My father always walked twiddling his thumbs behind his back! He worked in a retail store all his working days and his hands behind him. Many many happy memories to see the boys do it and swaying from side to side! Thank you
"On Route Learning" - damn love you two!
That is just about the best description of a full life well lived!
Well done John!!! Your Mom has got to be so proud, and pleased with you! She gets to watch her son build the room, that she will stay in! You are amazing!
Hey Newbys! Love watching you guys from afar (the Caribbean!) and cheering on every project! Love hearing Crusoe having serious coversations with Munmmy & Daddy! Little Sawyer is mini John through and through! Tara ... multi-tasking legend!😉❣️🙏🏼John, builder extraordinaire!🧢🥾🪚 Carry on guys!!😊
Thanks so much Kathy!!
Hello from South Africa... I absolutely love your videos, and look forward to Sundays and Wednesdays to see how well you're doing. Crusoe and Sawyer are both adorable, and now the pup as well. You're living a life many would love to live. May I be so pertinent as to ask when will we hear you both, John and Tara, and the children speak or try to speak in Portuguese? How important is it to you to learn this language and converse with your wonderful neighbours? All the best to you all, looking forward to the next video on Sunday. ❤
The children will probably learn to speak Portuguese faster, and better than their parents ...children have an amazing capacity to learn a language ... especially if they hear it from native speakers who they interact and converse with on a nearly daily basis. Maria Montessori called this the "absorbent mind" of children ...and children's "sensitive period" for learning other languages is from birth to age twelve I think (if I remember correctly). The 'vocabulary explosion' for a child's native language that he is immersed in, is just before & around the age of two.
Well done, John! Coming right along, but then again you have such great helpers in Crusoe, Sawyer, & Tara. 🙂 Just be careful of your shoulder. Love the "Like father, like son" hands behind the back, climbing the ladder, using the pencil, and wanting to cut. John is such a great role model as a father! I know his mom is going to have a wonderful visit! ❤
Bravo on the planks! It’s the journey to the destination! 💪🙌
I don't know how you do all that you do. You guys are such hard workers and it's all happening so quickly!
Epic is the right word for this episode. When the other roof boards get in place, it will be even more epic. We loved the pic of Sawyer and his daddy you posted.
So sweet to see the interaction between you two such hard work for one man. John you are just amazing. Another fun video to be with your family blessings and love from New Mexico
Siistii! 😄 Terveisiä Suomesta!
Well done John and Tara ❤️
and greetings from Australia too, who picked up on the same Finnish word 😀
Hello guys, your joy and enthusiasm is contagious, loved the episode, take care ❤🐾❤️💯
My ! What progress you've made in so short a time. I'm gobsmacked! You both make a great team and the boys just love being allowed to mingle amid all the chaos because you're both so relaxed with them. I bet you'll have it all ready for John's Mum too. Well done!
I truly really enjoy John's ethic toward learning as he goes. This is what makes wonderful things happen in this world. What a great human.
If I have a shitty day, you ALWAYS deliver love to my heart ❤️ John is just an iron man (YSTER in Afrikaans) ! Love you so so much and so proud of you 💪🏻🕊💪🏻
Ah we are so happy to hear that Ziska. Sending you lots of love and hugs. See you again on Sunday ❤️❤️
John is amazing he is working so hard on that roof and he has done a really good job of it.❤️❤️
Thanks Maureen! ❤️❤️
Amazing! I continue to be surprised by the skills, determination, not to mention the strength of John. Loved the bike, travel/life analogy. Just do it!😊
John needs to be cloned ❤️
John you and Daniel Preston are determined I’m very impressed (Escape to rural France ) you do a great job job
such great parents, kids will be super stars
"Cut! Cut! Wood, wood, wood!" - Crusoe. How darling!
So Beautiful!!! I love how the house is coming to life.
You are the best family I'm glad you allowed us to be part of you obrigado ❤
Every day there is something challenging to conquer. Well done John. Your Music m will not care about anything being finished. She will treasure her time with the boys. She will definitely be impressed. Bless you all. ❤❤❤❤. I had to laugh at the “this side up”. lol upside down. 🙃
Yey you have a roof, well the big part of the roof! Love It!
What.a delightful episode. Thank you John and Tara for sharing your family and your lives with us. Once again lm left smiling. See you in a few days. Xx 😊 💕❤️🌷🌷
I see someone else has already sung John's praises, it never ceases to amaze how awesome most men are, John certainly is. Looking so good.
Isn't it fun to get excited over the little things as well as the big things?! So many things going on all at once, wow! Keep on keeping on Newby's, you're doing great! Love watching the progress! 🐝
it was so much fun watching the kids trying to help Daddy. The room is looking great, love the steps.
Things moving fast. Will be good to have the bathroom The little corner garden is looking lovely
17:39. Isn’t she the cutest or not 🥹🤍
Love you from Saudi Arabia i think iam so proud of you I feel like it’s our home too🥹🤍🤍
John, you are absolutely amazing!
Omg the building of the outer area is coming along as Tara says splendidly ❤ well done big pat on your back John - plumbing is mindboggling at the best of times and the little boiler room was actually a great find - it will look amazing can't wait for the process n reveal - John, I almost lost it 😅 when you said asseyez-vou & ferme la bouche as I learnt French in the 70s and those two says were popular by my teacher too and I used to laugh in French one year (4yrs lol) as our teacher was Irish Australian yes with a bit of both accents as it all came out gobbling gobbledygook lol 😆
Great job on the beams I can’t wait to see the additional room ❤️👍👍👍👏👏👏
Listen, these videos are just simply not long enough... now I have to wait until Sunday to see what's been done 😅😅 I need at least an hour a day on that farm watching what you're all getting up to, this build is so exciting 💃 🎉🏡
Can't wait to see the end result of the projects on the extension ❤❤❤❤
What a treat. Insomnia woke me up just in time to watch my favourite family. Your place is coming along a treat and I'm loving that you're taking us along with you on your journey.
Thank you so much!❤️❤️❤️
What an exciting episode, roof and bathroom work done and soon you will have your real proper bathroom and livingroom
to enjoy while the new house is being build. have you thought about getting one of those couches you can turn into
a bed and sleep downstairs and the boys in the top bedroom? Anyway see you on Friday? and Sunday. Much love to you all.
Thanks Anja, we were just talking about that today. Hmmmm 🤔❤️❤️
...or several 'Murphy beds' ...some of them double as couches &/or tables when they are affixed to the wall (a table pops out) ...there are several designs ...some have bookshelves on either side of the bed that are affixed to the wall ...there are so many designs. And I bet if John could peruse several different Murphy bed designs ...he could make his own & perhaps save some money.
You are so clever John ..its looking so good. Well done. ❤
Good job with the cuts. Skilled craftsman right there.
Such a joy to spend these few minutes with you. Exciting to see the rafters go up and the bathroom come to life!
There are those who learn by being taught and there are those who learn by doing....I am firmly in John's camp🤩😂 The extension is taking shape...the bathroom is nearly a slam dunk and all is so exciting!! Sawyer is getting so big🤗 And Crusoe will be drawing plans for thenext big project in no time🩷🩷🩷
Thank you Mary. It is almost a slam dunk! So excited about it all ❤️❤️
John always looks so proud of himself - and rightly so! Great progress!😍🇨🇦
How exciting!!!!!! We’ve said it before, John we are in awe of you! Bravo!!! I have a feeling it’s going to be just about finished by the time your mom arrives. Great job you two! ~Cara ❤
I love how you and Tara jump into your projects even with all the distractions! Great job on your roof beam cuts 😊
Olá Newbys!
"Ferme la bouche!" Ah ah 😂 Loved it!
The roof looks so cool! It looks so easy when you're working with the wood but certainly it's not that easy...!
Beijinhos para todos 🌿
Thanks so much Sofia! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I am LMAO at the French phrases John learned! I think that I remember, "Je n'parlez France." Does that mean I do not speak French? My excuse... 3 different schools in two years of French classes. My first full-year teacher would say, pounding his fists on the top of the first row of study corrals, "I can't understand why you'all don't behave!" (He had a thick southern Selma, Alabama, accent.) In all my junior and senior high school classes, his class was the only class that I got to first so that I could sit in the back row!
Best place is always in the back!! 😂😂❤️❤️
Siisti homma John!
How about making a temporary time capsule with the kids pictures and other things to add inside those walls you’re building? Then, when you bring this room down eventually, you can see how different the kiddos look like and have grown. ❤ love you guys.
I am absolutely moist from excitement your show is the best on RUclips TV 💯
I am sorry if my comments feel a little late in coming. Having experienced wet winters in Portugal, and have a good idea of what can happen l think it may help you make adjustment or tweaks to help you through the rainy season.
Try and insert the metal rain grills on the upper patio area, and at the bottom of the steps. Ensure you divert the water way from the front door entrance, otherwise the water will cascade down the steps in a torrent. It will end up as a flood in your kitchen.
Any diversion you can make in the foot path to your work studio can also reduce the flow of water.
I do divert water from the rain gutters on one of my buildings into a well ,but a day of heavy rain can make it rise by quite a lot.
If you try a hose pipe on maximum flow and let it run down your steps it may help to give you an idea of how a gentle pour of rain will act. Better to have an idea at this early stage than later when winter rains have started.
Happy progress.
GREAT JOB JOHN IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ANNAMAY
😂🤣 "shut your mouth, sit down"
John is SO funny! Another great week!
