So where is the link to the recipe website?
@@ThaJay I’ll put it up as soon as it’s ready. The skeleton is ready. Just need to add the content
Black Gold with the texture is quite striking. Adds a stylish and sophisticated look.
👍 I 22nd that. 😉
Regarding mulch and irrigation, "Covering your drip irrigation system with about 2-3 inches of mulch is beneficial because the mulch will protect your water from the sun. This prevents evaporation and further conserves the water in your irrigation system." The real key to mulching is the depth of the mulch. If it is too thin, you are likely to get lots of weeds. Get that chipper, and be generous with the depth of the chip-mulch!
Agreed burying a drip line, soaker hose with generous mulch layer!!
Generous mulch! Ok got it. I think that’s key because I am getting some areas with weeds. 2-3 inches. I’m thinking deeper beds from next year.
Black Gold for the blind in my opinion 😊
Andrea, you did an amazing job on the cement countertop! You will have such a lovely laundry area.
Thank you! Loving the laundry area. So organised now 🥰🥰
I like the black gold, it looks more like wood. Also, I think the mulch should go on top of the irrigation. Otherwise, the water will be absorbed by the mulch and not reach the plants.
Definitely water under mulch😊
Noted! I need to get more mulch. I need a mulch pile!!
@@TheIndigoEscape 🤣
The black gold is classy looking, not so plain.
I do like the black gold for the blind. . It will look very smart. Good on you for tackling the concrete counter. You did a grand job, Andrea🌟
Thank you! It’s not perfect but it’s way better than I expected. It looks so much cleaner. Before I tended not to film that area because it was so messy 🙈
Your smile is beautiful, your videos are fun and your family is wonderful! Black absorbs the heat, white reflects the sun. It’s been over 100 degrees Fahrenheit for over 20 days where I live. The sun beats at my door all morning.
Thank you so much.it has been great without the braces.They are quite uncomfortable actually, so its. a blessing!
Your smile looks fantastic, it must be such a relief to have the braces gone. Makes eating easier for sure. Not food all stuck in your braces, I hated that.
Thanks Gail! Yes it has made eating much easier. I have to use the retainers quite often for now but they still feel far more comfortable than the braces.
You could put a ceiling fan in that porch area where you have the table. They're very common in the U.S. in warm states, such as Florida. They're a game changer, they allow you to sit outside comfortably.
Love this idea! I would definitely look into it. They will also help with keeping away the flies!
Don't forget when choosing the blind that white reflects the sun and black soaks it up 😊
Great job on the concrete surface 👌👍
I like the black gold. Wonderful job as always by you all. 😊
Very nice job on the worktop!
Noticed a few times now seeing the old roof tiles stacked up. I don't remember what you were going to do with them but what you might consider is using them (broken up) for walkways and also paths between your plant beds. To break them up, add them to your cement mixer along with an old brick. After a couple of minutes add a half bucket or so of water. The broken up pieces of tile will come out with smooth edges. Nice to walk on, even with bare feet.
This is a fantastic idea that never occurred to us! We were going to use them to make garden beds they are tricky to cut. Also, as you have to burry them, when it rains it doesn’t allow for the water to flow so it gathers. So this is a great alternative project!
What a great idea!
Black gold was pretty groovey. Loved the bench top.
Loved the counter top , can’t wait to see it clad and finished.
Well done! Oh how i love polished concrete. Much love to you all. ❤❤❤
Color for shades? The darker the color the more heat it absorbs. Lighter colors reflect light.😊
Black gold looks very pretty. Nice random texture!
That came out great!!! Congratulations! Love your smile too!!
Thank you so much!! 😁
Black Gold is a beauty!
Loved the Hugh sunflowers gorgeous!
They are a wonderful sight to wake up to ❤️
Another huge improvement with that lovely outdoor laundry area👏👏
Your garden is just glorious. I hope you are very proud of yourselves 🌸🌸🌸
As to the outdoor blind, I love the textured one or the coffee..
Sending ❤️
Thank Lorraine! Really enjoying the garden! Need to sew so more plants so it carries on to September!! We love looking out at it! It’s like our own tv haha
@@TheIndigoEscape 🤣
I like the black gold. I think it will look good with your house.
The rule is that a lighter color will always be cooler. Therefore, if you require respite from the heat but, dark colors like black or brown are preferable if you want to protect yourself from the sun's UV rays as much as possible. Lighter colors can be riskier. Black Gold is nice
Yeah I think a compromise may have to happen. The light colour, the white, is really light and may get all dusty in the summer. The summer heat makes the soil so dusty here 😞
I like the black gold 😊
Coffee will give you better sun UVRay sun protection. For a stylish decor: black/gold one. I would choose the coffee shade though...❤
Smiling ❤❤❤
TIP. when pouring concrete, have frames or molds ready to use up the excess concrete, the frames could be kerbstone size or paving slab size, planters, just have them ready in a corner. No waste
If they want to make pots, do papercrete. Just have the paper or cardboard soaking so that it can be made into a soft porage texture before making a slury or more of a cob. Several videos on here if you search. Hopefully that makes sense!
Oh wow! Excellent thinking ahead. Will definitely think about that for the future. Wouldn’t they look lovely around the garden!
Thanks Joan. I’ll look into it!
Oh oh black gold ❤
Dark colours attract the sun and heat, so I would go for a light blind. Irrigation should be under plenty of mulch, 3 inches at least, to keep the moisture in. Great job on the worktop.
Great idea! I get the light shade will definitely deflect but to worry they will get quite dirty as there so much dust during the summer! Gets so dry here!
@TheIndigoEscape - So there was a reason the Bedouin nomads of the Sahara had those big black tents - now these comments tell me why - Black offers denser shade exactly because it absorbs more of the sun's rays and protects from the damaging uv rays, white lets more light (and the uv rays) through.
I love it when we learn so much by reading comments!
Irrigation under the mulch.
Great job, white would be my choice, it would reflect the heat, dark colours draw the heat.
MAKE SURE IRRIGATION IS UNDER MULCH, black / gold for blinds
Makes sense! Thanks! I was worried it may get clogged but I think it should be fine!
And i agree with previous comment - you should use the lightest shade cloth you can get to refect the heat
The black gold. I would go with !
The garden is looking so beautiful! 💕
I can’t wait to see the countertop all finished. 😃
Thanks Melinda! Coming up today! ❤️
COFFEE will match your house! What's the name of your new chanel? Oh, Omar did a marvelous job with that cement counter top! LOL!!🤣🤣🤣 Andrea, it's Excellent! Simon did great with the bracing for Omar's project! LOL 🤣🤣🤣 Now we need Mum to remove the wood bracing for Omar's Project and the whole family would have a part in Omar's Project! 🤣🤣🤣 LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMAR, I HOPE YOU ARE TOO!❤❤!!
I love the coffee too the black gold as well. It’s really hard to choose! Sometimes I wish I had 3 choices, making a decision much easier! 🤣
I agree with the coffee or black gold!
Para el próximo verano , tenéis que construiros una piscina 😊
Great laundry area
The cement counter top came up nicely 👍 good job❤❤
The worktop is beautiful. Now the most important is to seal it in order not to get stains that are impossible to remove
Watch this space! 🥳
Thank you for the recipes!
Im trying to gather them, as much as possible! Would be great to also add some nice pictures to accompany them.
Black Gold is my preference 😊
Your video posted at midnight in Eastern Washington State USA. I'm always excited to see what you've accomplished.
Hope you enjoyed it!
Water underneath mulch. Black gold awning.
Black gold looks great
Black gold with the texture is nice.
14:39 I liked the texture for black/gold, like you, but if you want it to fight off sunray heat, maybe a light color is better? Dark: absorb heat, light/white: reflect sunshine/heat. Not sure, but if science is something to go by that light grey is the best... maybe? It will show dirt easier, I guess.
Yeah I get the logic! I’m such a visual person though… the grey looked nice as well but it was so contrasting. Ummmmm now decisions!
Like I always say, "every household needs a Simon!". 👌🏼
Good job, Andrea. Always treasure your treasure's tools 🙃 Such beautiful memories you're creating 🤗🤩
Should make a t-shirt like that haha
Fantastic job on the concrete counter! Your smile 👄 looks brighter. Shade is important. I know, I live in Las Vegas, we hit 120 degrees Fahrenheit last week.
Thank you! I love my smile now 🥰
Dark colours attract the sun's heat and will make the space hotter. If you want the area to be cooler, choose a light colour.
We love you, from South Africa.
I like the coffee color too ❤
Black Gold
Hello, Great job with the laundry bench. By the way from a farmer son, hay is made of grass and straw is from oak, wheat and barley.
Oh wow! I didn’t now that! So then straw seems to be better! May be a good idea to invest in a wood chipper soon!
Don't you just hate it when predictive text completely changes our words! Like changing "oat" to "oak" ... That straw made from oak must be really heavy! 😂
@@lapsedluddite3381 ooohhhh 😂😂😂 I was like that’s some fancy straw!
I like the black gold but the grey might work better at reflecting the sun, whereas a dark colour will absorb the heat. Love the worktop. Make sure your soil is thoroughly watered before you add mulch on top of irrigation tubes to trap the moisture in the soil.❤
Thank Sue! I will cover more of the pipes and get it going with the irrigation. Really want to buy more irrigation though so everything is properly watered. So far so good!
Black gold!
Love the work top my choice would be the light grey. ❤
No more braces, congratulations! I like the brown colour bc it blends in with the wood & stone surroundings.
Countertop 👌
Thank you! I appreciate the comments on the braces 🥰
Black gold please❤
Black Gold 👌 Cement top urban cool.
Your counter is going to be just beautiful, enjoyed seeing all the flowers, they were gorgeous I love flowers. Wishing all of you a blessed week, and looking forward to your next video.
Thank you! I love flowers too! I adore cosmos and calendula. They smell really nice. I want to have more flowers next year and have a more organised area to grow veggies at the back 🥰 every year there is a huge improvement ❤️
Coffee would be a good choice. Light enough to reflect the sun and not make the shaded area too dark.
It also matches slightly the colour of the wood 🥰
Black gold.❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇷 🇬🇷
You all have come so far with your property it's beautiful !!!!
Love the black gold sample is gorgeous 🤗🥰 great work guys Also you have a beautiful cute smile ( no more braces 🙌🏾🤭)
Thanks you Jeannie! Appreciate the braces comments. It’s really crazy how much teeth change a face!
Hey wonderful people, I am a member on here BUT have had to make new google account!!.
Totally rocking Omar's washing machine/ outdoor sink area, I've got everything crossed that it turns out amazing!.
Your garden area is looking amazing, I can't get over the height of your sunflowers😮.
Another great video guys ❤😊
Hey Sonya! The height is crazy! The biggest one was born right in there, didn’t come from the greenhouse. So next year, everything needs to either direct sow or come out of the greenhouse way earlier. Learning experience. Sink area is looking great 🥰🥰
Well done. Pleasure watching your videos.
Black gold😊❤
Lighter the better, light grey. White reflex heat
I like the work top as well. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Another great video! ❤😊 Just to put my five cents in: I'd choose the Gray color for your outdoor blinds. Reason being, the dark colors will make the area look too dark and also light colors reflect the sun's rays away & dark colors absorb them. To get respite from the heat but also keep a fresh and bright looking area I'd choose the lighter color 😎
Good point!
Looks stunning…❤❤❤❤❤
Cement table top looks fantastic! The garden looks so good also. My 32 yr old daughter just got her braces on. lol! Her 12 yr old son has them also, they’ve been making the funniest faces, Christmas pictures will be fun this year! 😁❤️
I’m glad her son got them earlier, much better to train your teeth from young to be in the correct place.
Tell your daughter to be patient. You do get used to them after a while. Wax is key!! They save me so many mouth sores. You do make funny faces! Constantly aware of them. Also fun when you don’t have a tooth brush and you are out of home! So best to have a toothbrush and some toothpaste in her bag. She will love her teeth after 🥰
@@TheIndigoEscape 😂 she’s getting carded every time we go out. Looks like she’s 12.
Black Gold is very nice.
Great video.
Black gold, have you thought about putting a shade over your cooking area? Love your videos, match live from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Yes! I got one now, just need to install it
My vote goes to Black Gold. Well done it is all looking so good!!
Thank you!
Black gold - wood looking :)
I would choose the blinds with texture
I love both the black/gold and coffee shades. The concrete counter looks grand!
Thanks Miranda!
Blackgold was my favorite.
The worktop looks incredible!
Superb effort both of you 👏
Thank you so much 😀
You need about 100 or 4 inches of mulch to protect from heat and retain water.
For sure. I think it needs to be added and added every few days. I am thinking I might need a woodchipper
The concrete countertop came out great, good job! I love the coffee brown color the best, it will show dirt less than the black and it will blend well with your stone. You have a beautiful flower and vegetable garden, it will provide lots of great meals and beautiful flower arrangements. Your teeth look beautiful! ❤
Thank you Harriet! Really pleased with the garden this year! Next year we are up scaling a bit and maybe having the veggies separated and more flowers. You hear so many bees and see so many butterflies, looks gorgeous 🥰
Mulch in top of the pipes. This keeps water cooler, stops pipes from degrading quickly, slows evaporation and delivers water to directly to the plants roots . The straw and bark is too big to blick the pipes
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip! Not sure yet about the bark. I want to invest in the future on a wood chipper. Would save us quite a bit of money in the future
@@TheIndigoEscape chippers rule. You can make your own mulch and break down larger stuff for composting. Your garden is looking amazing
Andrea, pine bark is an acidic you mention is heated maybe that changes the PH. I particularly don't like pine bark, here in USA, in the south the cucarachas hide there.
Uggghh cucarachas!!! I rather see a snake 🤣 I saw one in Lisbon and had flashbacks. We always stared to see if the awful things would fly and if they did, RUN 🤣😂😂😂 luckily I have never seen one here… and I hope stays that way. I absolutely hate them!! Anyways, I’ll stay away from the pine bark!
Andrea, your teeth looks amazing!
Thank you Lani ❤️❤️
Awesome job all of you. The outside worktop is going to look sooo good. I like the grey shade cloth. The black one with the
stripes is nice as well. Thoughts and Prayers.Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings.
Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thank you Doris! It was a really good project and we enjoyed the process. I was a bit apprehensive at first but now we are more confident we can do it again and do an even better job! See you next week
@@TheIndigoEscape
Great counter top!
One of our projects is to make a smooth and coloured cement kitchen countertop, but have not had the opportunity yet. Soon! 😊
Great work as always guys!
Have a great week ahead! 😊
Wow coloured ones! That sounds like an amazing project!
@@TheIndigoEscape yes! 🙌 maybe with sparkles too 😆
Hi! Thanks for the aerial view of the house. Do you plan to keep the workshop area once the houses are all done being built? Or will you keep it and renovate that too? What are your plans for the rest of the land? Do you know how the big house will be laid out yet??
Great question! We want to turn it, at the very end, into a self contained “granny annex” that we could rent out for short term holidays. Int he meantime, we want to make it into a more functional workshop, with concrete floor, lighting and all. Hopefully we do that soon!
Andrea, you look sooo cute, congrats for braces finally out! Your place looks great, I can just imagine when its fully done....you guys are awesome! Keep up the great work!❤😊
❤ just to have your family that you are not old
Andera😊
Thank you! I’m really happy with the result. I can eat so many things I couldn’t before which it’s great like apples and pop corn! 😆 thank you for your lovely comment
@@TheIndigoEscape You are welcome dearest Andrea, eat to your ❤️'s content, cause you work so hard, you deserve it! Much love FM Santarém!!
I follow a channel called The Eldridge family and Crandall the husband and Marcie his wife did all there kitchen work surfaces in concrete and they were terrified as well even tho he is a contractor joiner and plumber he had never done it befor and it turned out great… so be brave plus you ha a Simon he he…….oh Andrea the black gold is gorgeous and has that outdoor woody look….
i remove dead ones we call it dead heading in UK…the garden is looking fabulous…your mum is a great help Andrea …oh that concrete work surface will be amazing once you have finished…that’s it ..but of elbow grease Omar…he he…can’t wait to see it completely done with the sink in… ❤
Definitely will be looking out for that channel and see how they did the concrete worktop. Really pleased with the shades! Can’t wait to install them!
Black gold would be my choice. 💖
Your irrigation definitely goes under the mulch
Coffee! But your choices are usually excellent! You have great taste!
Oh thank you! That’s very kind 🥰
Black gold will fade beautifully
Black Gold.
