When Frankie Off Grid said your channel name, I typed in The Portugal Project and couldn't find you. The channel names are so similar. I'm so glad I ended up finding you guys
Absolute best and easiest way to clean the stove door soot is, a baby wipe and dip it in the ash. Then buff up with scrunched up newspaper. "Proper job" 👍
May I suggest you add refractory brick splits on the floor of your burn chamber also? The reason being that the floor of these stoves is the first part to burn through because of the intense heat. As you were working on your re-build, I did notice some steel degradation already in the area of the cast iron grate cutout. 👍 Cheers!
Hi there. N & A., greetings from the Central Coast NSW AUSTRALIA, living on a beach. We've just today caught up watching all your 174 vids. Beginning at the beginning of your vid experiences. Its taken a month or more! We love your PP. Everything about it. So much work, play ,love and sincerity in your relationships. Great neighbour relationships. FOG..we watch as well. Love the pigs and hens and goats, dogs and your latest lamb baby. You're both so very clever. Building, cooking, preserving.. Nick And Ang! We wish you well-being as you continue your love project ❤️ Vivienne Bradshaw .
Amazing refurbishment of your wood stove, the fire looks terrific! Taking us along with you as you worked step by step makes me feel brave enough to at least clean one when i have to. I certainly feel like i can identify what bits do what and how they fit together... this is certain to come in handy some time. Looking forward to learning how to connect radiators with you next year👍🏼. And to admiring the newly tiled "plinth". Grow well, onion army. Hi, piglets, Carisaa & Iwan, Dioggo, Frankie, grazing Gilmore, Quentin, Sarah 👋🏼. Glad you had help for pipe-protective wall project 👍🏼. No worries with the length of today's episode, it's been lovely. Bunny🐈 came over for a post breakfast cuddle, and she's been having a warm nap on Meowma this chilly day. I always thought Ang's eyes a beautiful color to get lost in, but today i only just noticed yours are, too, Nick. Don't get too notice this as the sun often has you squinting or you're eyes are crinkled from giggling. 😄 Great loot from pals, Luise, Mark & Jane, Louise & John, Pauline & sis, Tony & Tracy, and the hand truck gifters❣ All so kind 🤗. Here's a question from left field: Was Boris' name inspired by the very short cartoon spy character clad icompletely in black attire from The Rocky Squirrel & Bullwinkle Moose Show? If so, do you have an animal named Natasha? She wouldn't have to be all black as she could be like Natasha the Avenger (Marvel Comics) who often had red hair and different colored skin suits aside from her iconic black. 😁 Tchau!
Too long? Not at all! I even missed the home made Andrea's wonderful recipes 😊. Thank you for charing a bit of your life with us. Believe me, I'm learning a lot with you guys 😉 Um grande bem haja aos dois. From Santarém, with love, Paula 😊
top tip, when cutting holes with hole cutters, make life easier by first scoring the outline with your drill bit, then drilling a small hole (5mm) somewhere on the circular outline, then continue to use the hole cutter bit and you will get the job done in half the time because the swarf has somewhere to go instead of impeding your drill bit :)
Nick! I guessed you are a man with brains! Why you didn't take doors and bricks out of that wood burner before moving it? Or you like to give yourself a hard time 😂❤👍🙏
Hi again guys, I'm a late subscriber to the site. Lovin these videos. It might be a binge watch this weekend!! I didn't think you could get such a good tune from a wood burner, your persistance in achieving a "full percussion range"
Well done, I particularly liked the restoration of the wood burner. You did an excellent job. Hope it keeps you nice and cosy in the winter months. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️
great refurb on the fire it looks lovely, good idea on hiding the pipes as well as keeping them secure, love the extra time as always so enjoyable to watch. a little help sometimes does go a long way, man power and gifts. thank you
I fear if you use the stove for this winter with no water in the back boiler, by the time you come to plum it in it will be destorted and possible split! It would be better removed until you are ready to plumb it in. I have seen back boilers temporarily packed with sand if the boiler can't be removed to help dissipate the heat. Always enjoy following you, keep up the good work.
Hi guys, I am new to your channel and currently binge watching from the beginning. I have a question, what do you do with all of your produce? Obviously grapes and olives are self explanatory, but all the eggs, pears and oranges etc. LOVE the cooking and farm segments! Keep up the great work ❤
Test your fireplace water back. Take a radiator from your project car. Attach to fire back without a pump. Raise radiator a few inches so hot water rises. I bet it circulates.
Hope you had tea and cake after moving that stove Nick gloves please I was like noooooo ouch Gilmore is guarding that piece of cloth on the floor like ya not taking this it’s my favourite resting place 🤣😂 Great idea for gaining access to pipes with the tiles and putting plants on top us women have the best ideas Thank you for sharing 😁
Not worms but his anal glands may be full, which need emptying… sorry but this is true there are glands . This is why the dog is rubbing his bumb along the ground. … A. vet can do this procedure and possibly… teach you to do yourself to save going to the vets.. Not pleasant…. ( worked for vets in the past ) If the gland is not emptied an infection can occur…Dog is not weird . Some dogs are more prone to this than others…
@@corinnetonelli489 I've seen dog groomers express dog's whatchamacallit back there where some of their poop can miss being eliminated and can build up, so this def rings true.
You need Zebrite stove polish - my Grandma used it on her black range and I used it for 50 years on my wood burning stoves. Once a year stove fettling looking good for winter.
Great video your log burner looks great you are a man of many talents Nick ❤ How long will your red onions take Andrea? will you show them on video when you harvest. Thanks for the shout out, love you guys xx 😘
Hey Nick, Most of the time those Gaskets are around 30% to 50% Asbestos. Making them one of the most hazardous applications. (most Asbestos Materials run between 2%and 5%) A bit of water will go along way to protect you and family when removing them.
You did a lovely job on the log burner/ stove Nick, it looks as good as new and probably running more efficiently. You're are very resourceful man. Haven't seen Max in a while, is he still with you, or have I missed something? Thanks for another educational and entertaining vlog 👍☺️💖💖
Wow oh wow what a transformation of the fire place and added back water heater.Question, if not using the water heater now, will the high temps damage the system without water going through?? I'm sure you can answer me no, because Nick is a master of all trades!
Hi I come from near the black country in the Midlands and we use a (black lead) creme you can get it in tubes or a tub and you rub it thickly on your stove leave it to dry then buff it up it gives the stove a lovely finish it stops all rust, it will last a month or 2 even longer depending on how much you use the stove, you will have to look it up online for a brand name. You won't ever need to paint it again. Oh and if you can find bigger fire bricks or are able to stack them higher up the inside of the stove I would suggest it as 1 brick high won't give much protection to the stove also they help keep the stove hotter longer. Hope these suggestions help.
To clean my fire window I just clean them with damp kitchen towel dipped in the cold ashes then buff with dry towel. Always clean it all out at the end of the season. Query: why didn’t you move the fire without the fire bricks in?
Boa tarde senhor Nick e Andrea gostei muito da transformaçao do fogao agora já vai precisar para aquecer a casa vai ficar muito frio. Agradeço muitos os seus vidios que sao muito interessantes. Thank you very much 👍👍👍
PS We absolutely love a long video! It really wasnt enough! Nor did I think it was long! Well done all around with your amazing projects! Hi Frankie off grid, I found you through dear Project Portugal!
Hi, is the bit that pulls down to remove the stove pipe called a coupler? I think I’ve heard that term used for part used to connect two lengths of pipe together.
Hi Nick Why didnt you attach boiler on the back of the stove without reducing space inside and no drilling holes? Still as you know is enough good conductor to heat water through back wall . cheers Dariusz
When Frankie Off Grid said your channel name, I typed in The Portugal Project and couldn't find you. The channel names are so similar. I'm so glad I ended up finding you guys
Thanks from, Project Portugal ❤️
NIck, your videos are never too long.
It pays to be handy! Well done, great job!
You guys got so much done,
What an improvement and adding functionality that will provide you additional heat sources in other rooms for the same operating cost. Great job!
Absolute best and easiest way to clean the stove door soot is, a baby wipe and dip it in the ash. Then buff up with scrunched up newspaper. "Proper job" 👍
Great tip👍
The little black pig looks like he has goggles on. Loved the entire episode.
Nick - the man with many plans......and they work!
The little black pig seems to be catching up with its sibling size-wise. So good to see them healthy and happy.
I used to clean glass from fireplace insert with a ball of tin foil
Nick knowledge blows my mind!
Nice work on the log burner. Once you get those rads in, it’ll be a game changer. 😎💪
Wood burner looks brilliant what a good job team work xx
May I suggest you add refractory brick splits on the floor of your burn chamber also? The reason being that the floor of these stoves is the first part to burn through because of the intense heat. As you were working on your re-build, I did notice some steel degradation already in the area of the cast iron grate cutout. 👍 Cheers!
Always nice to see your blogs, both hard working couple
Yes! The Intro is back, even if it is in summarised form. I really do like it. 😁
Now I can watch the rest of the video... 🤣🥰
Long videos are great no complaints here 😀👍
Fireplace looks great much much nicer than before.
Nice to see the Fogies 😊
Ian started to speak a few words in Portuguese is nice to hear 😘
Nick you forgot to paint the rusty bottom of the outside of the stove👍✅🍺🇬🇧
Oh the tiny piglet kittens, have grown so quickly, and certainly happy and explorative❤❤
Hi, Andrea and Nick. This was another busy video. It’s great that Carissa and Iwan could help.
Watching the dogs during the time lapse you get an a appreciation how loyal they are but very confused and wondering what is going on!!!
Never to long,could watch you all for hours! Well I do😂 Thankyou.
Have a good week ahead you two !!!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷
Great job done on the stove.
Brings back memories from childhood .We too used a stove for heating.
What a work ,but what a beautiful result !!! ,,,better than before ...
Awesome vid guys! Heck, it could never be too long! The wood stove looks beautifully renewed. Never a dull moment on the quinta.🙂👍👍🇨🇦

Thank You Vivienne so glad you enjoyed our videos, many more to come❤️
Found you through 'Frankie off grid' and subscribed to your channel.
Great job on the wood burner guys, looks brilliant 👍👍. Bubble and Squeak are getting bigger, still so adorable ❤️. Great help from the Foggies too😊
Thanks so much! 😊
I am was pleased to see you are going to use a back boiler. 😊
Looks great, Nick. Gently ‘dissuading’!😜🇨🇦
Much more educated now about wood stoves, back burners, loved it!

No he was named after the British prime minister
@@projectportugal so is he not very bright and leaves messes everywhere
The longer the better❤
Great vid guy's, loving the close up stuff

From Santarém, with love, Paula 😊
Great job once again! 🙏❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹⛵👣🤙🤗
Great job on the stove Nick. It looks so much better after its renovation and give many more years of use.
Ah that was so satisfying when you spray painted the stove. It looks as good as new.😊❤
Always a joy to watch...community champions.❤❤❤
I always thought that you should have the rope joint at the bottom middle
The stove looks so much better! I think you did a fine job.❤️🤗🐝
Andrea 135 red onions!!!❤ Yum!
Wouldn't it had been easier/ lighter to move the stove without the bricks in it🤔😅 anywho great job much better now. Loving your alls videos 🙂💐
Great job on wood burner. 😊 Loved how the dogs were on duty to make sure you cleared space and built wall. 😊
I love a long video - that was great!
Can't help thinking the fitting would have been a lot easier if you had left the bricks and doors out until after it was in position.
top tip, when cutting holes with hole cutters, make life easier by first scoring the outline with your drill bit, then drilling a small hole (5mm) somewhere on the circular outline, then continue to use the hole cutter bit and you will get the job done in half the time because the swarf has somewhere to go instead of impeding your drill bit :)
You should have painted that stove high gloss with a spray gun? 😉
You can work on everything great !
My stove has bricks that surround three sides and bottom, which protects the stove from excessive heat.
Nick! I guessed you are a man with brains! Why you didn't take doors and bricks out of that wood burner before moving it? Or you like to give yourself a hard time 😂❤👍🙏
Next time!
@@projectportugal Too late now Nick, that might not need a service in at least 5 years time 😂
Hi again guys, I'm a late subscriber to the site. Lovin these videos. It might be a binge watch this weekend!! I didn't think you could get such a good tune from a wood burner, your persistance in achieving a "full percussion range"
Welcome, full range was achieved on the granite breaking, wait till you see that one😆
Well done, I particularly liked the restoration of the wood burner. You did an excellent job. Hope it keeps you nice and cosy in the winter months. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥️
Not too long at all. Just right 😊
So nice so nice :-)
great refurb on the fire it looks lovely, good idea on hiding the pipes as well as keeping them secure, love the extra time as always so enjoyable to watch. a little help sometimes does go a long way, man power and gifts. thank you
alternative quick foundation is using old bricks at right angle to wall so there is a wider base than wall .no need for mortar
I fear if you use the stove for this winter with no water in the back boiler, by the time you come to plum it in it will be destorted and possible split! It would be better removed until you are ready to plumb it in. I have seen back boilers temporarily packed with sand if the boiler can't be removed to help dissipate the heat.

Most of it gets canned or fed to the animals

Looks beautiful
As always great video and great works. Welldone!
Love your skill sets so varied it’s a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Hope you had tea and cake after moving that stove
Nick gloves please I was like noooooo ouch
Gilmore is guarding that piece of cloth on the floor like ya not taking this it’s my favourite resting place 🤣😂
Great idea for gaining access to pipes with the tiles and putting plants on top us women have the best ideas
Thank you for sharing 😁
Nick please check your dog for worms. He is rubbing his bum on the ground 🐶💛
He's fine, like I said just a bit weird
Not worms but his anal glands may be full, which need emptying… sorry but this is true there are glands .

@@corinnetonelli489 yes i agree ,my female JR also got it and the vet showed me how to emoty the glands
amazing where your fans come from! Haines, Alaska, I am waiting for the next video from Simple Living Alaska, lol
Project Portugal and Simple Living Alaska are my two favorite channels! Yesterday was a new one from each!
You need Zebrite stove polish - my Grandma used it on her black range and I used it for 50 years on my wood burning stoves. Once a year stove fettling looking good for winter.
Great video your log burner looks great you are a man of many talents Nick ❤ How long will your red onions take Andrea? will you show them on video when you harvest. Thanks for the shout out, love you guys xx 😘
We'll probably harvest them march/April ❤️
So much work for you to repair the stove
Hey Nick,
Most of the time those Gaskets are around 30% to 50% Asbestos. Making them one of the most hazardous applications. (most Asbestos Materials run between 2%and 5%)
A bit of water will go along way to protect you and family when removing them.
You could have had a lighter weight to wheel around if you removed the bricks and doors before wheeling the body of the burner.
The stove looks amazing!
🍁I just LOVE ❤ watching your videos! Great job on the stove/fireplace! 🫶🍁❣️💕💗
You did a lovely job on the log burner/ stove Nick, it looks as good as new and probably running more efficiently. You're are very resourceful man.
Haven't seen Max in a while, is he still with you, or have I missed something?
Thanks for another educational and entertaining vlog 👍☺️💖💖
Yep, more of Max next week
Max is a hamsum boi. Such a silly puppy with you and Ang.
You should have done the inside bottom bricks all the way up the sides! 😉
You need some heat to transfer to the outside😁🤔
Nice re-do of the stove. I like time lapse.
Nice work mate carry on with it all the best for all good weekend.
Wow! You two rock!
Wow oh wow what a transformation of the fire place and added back water heater.Question, if not using the water heater now, will the high temps damage the system without water going through?? I'm sure you can answer me no, because Nick is a master of all trades!
It's really thick, twill be fine
Hi guys it’s great to see that you are able to make use of the trolley 😃👍 we’ve had the heating on here for almost a month already 😮
Oh wow!
Endless armchair critics out there. Your stove looks fantastic.
Loving the new look stove, the work you all do just never ends lol. Enjoy the treacle. Xxxx
Great job as always.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys,
great job,dont worry about the spray job when it gets hot it will change colour anyway,you will also get a funny smell,good luck
You are so right 👍

Bem haja❤️
I only just noticed you can only count to 4 1/2 on your left hand.
🤣
The Staffy could have worms, why he is scooting, or itchy.
Done it ever since he was castrated
💞💞💞
PS We absolutely love a long video! It really wasnt enough! Nor did I think it was long! Well done all around with your amazing projects! Hi Frankie off grid, I found you through dear Project Portugal!
Olá vocês são muito amigos de outras pessoas adoro continuem assim ❤
If there is such a thing as reincarnation...I would come back as you...😊
Check the black dog for blocked anul gland problems , as he is scuffing his bottom . That a sign as well as a fishy smell. , the vet will check !
He's Grey and in fine health, has done this ever since castration
Love the long video, love the time lapse overview, love the stove refurb, why didn't you second coat it to try and even it up?
Tried, made it worse🤔🤣 it looks much better now it's been lit a few times
Hi, is the bit that pulls down to remove the stove pipe called a coupler? I think I’ve heard that term used for part used to connect two lengths of pipe together.
Yes it is
Hi Nick Why didnt you attach boiler on the back of the stove without reducing space inside and no drilling holes? Still as you know is enough good conductor to heat water through back wall . cheers Dariusz
It needs to be in direct contact with the fire
anyway my advice was to late :) Job done and will be as it is :)@@projectportugal
