Good morning just starting the video and WOW you guys are just a hop skip & jump from 100K!!!! Now on to the video ❤~Cara
I did not want this video to end, lol! Actually, that's how I feel about all of your videos, lol! I love seeing all the progress. Y'all are so blessed to have such a magnificent homestead. Love seeing the kiddos too.
loving that floor. Did I see little spacers put down as they are laid, that are then removed when grouting goes in? If so that demystifies a lot. I am endlessly fascinated to learn everything, for when my won opportunity arises. :) ( I typo'd won. I meant "own" but am leaving "won" as a kind of happy magnetizer. 😍
Good lord I’m exhausted 😅 you are amazing great video can’t wait for Wednesday The sense of achievement you must feel great work 🤗
Beautiful farm that you have. Wow, it is full of amazing sights, nature, and stunning views 🥀🥀🥀
This is one of the best channels on life in Portugal for two reasons. First, you actually interact and have developed relationships with the Portuguese people around you. So many other channels in Portugal show no relationship with the country and the people. Which beggars the question: Why Portugal?? Portugal is an amazing country not just because of it's gorgeous geography and well-preserved history but mostly because of it's wonderful people. More of that ought to be highlighted in Life-In-Portugal videos, in my opinion. The second reason is you demonstrate how having children does not interfere with life, but actually enhances it. The modern ethos is that one can't have children until everything is built, created, put together and grown. Not so. Most of us wouldn't be here if our ancestors thought that way and children derive enormous benefit from spending time with their parents watching them build things. Overall, your inspiration to viewers is not just taking an overgrown dilapidated farm, rebuilding it and living sustainably, the true inspiration for viewers is watching a real family work together in a beautiful country with a foreign language and marvelous people. Can't wait for that episode when you produce your first jug of vinho tinto and invite all your Portuguese neighbors and friends to join you in raising a glass!
Completely agree the fact they made friends and all around and have their small children is so endearing and they include their family and neighbours in all their projects. 🙏💖🌺🦋🥰
Agree with your sentiments regarding the Newbys but there are other channels where hosts interact with friends and neighbours. Helping them with their projects, working together and sharing when they can. Luke and Sarah Off Grid and Project Portugal are two.
OKportugal is one
I couldn’t agree more. Cheers!
❤JESUS’LOVE ❤
John you are a great carpenter. Always quality work. A pkeasure to watch
Thanks so much friend, we love having you be a part of our adventure 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I love the finishing touches on the ceiling in your tiny house!
Thank you Joy, we are so appreciate of your support 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
BRAVO on the Skylight in the TINY HOUSE!!! LOVE YR CHANNEL! Big hug from Cape Town, Bee🎉❤😊
Your channel is one of the best story tellers on KZhead. I've been pondering why. I think part of the answer is that you interweave your individual thoughts and experiences with those that bring you into collaborative moments with compromises thrown in as needed. It works marvelously well.
Thank you Ilene! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡
We feel your pain guys!! 😁 I know it feels a bit ramshackle but once it's fully constructed, pinned down, windows in etc you'll be pleasantly surprised. Ours is still standing strong after some exceedingly strong winds! Tiny house is looking amazing btw!
It has been SO frustrating 😂 but we are trying to stay positive! Great to know that yours is still standing after strong winds as that was one of our concerns. Thanks so much for watching friends, happy Sunday ❤️❤️❤️
Realizing that Life by Living and the Newbys have connected is a little bit mind blowing! Love both your channels. Maybe I shouldn't have been so surprised ;-) Keep up the great work.
@Stew Larsen - don't forget The Scotters. Must also be almost neighbors
At least the Newby's instructions were not in German ! All the best
R & V I watch you assemble yours also. What great adventures you are having building a life in Portugal.
I worked in a hardware store for almost 15 years and men were/are notorious for NOT reading the instructions. There is an expression " when all else fails read the instructions " Sawyer is growing so fast, he is so cute and looks so like his big brother. Stay safe my friends. 🙏❤🙂
Thank you Glenda!! Wise words friend! ❤️🙏
I worked in a hardware store for 13 years..not only do they not read..they don't follow cartoon illustrations either lol!
Great improvements. Tara you are right to where skylight should be. Great work John and love your little helper Crusoe ❤
Thank God Crusoe didn't hide the measuring tape.......😂😂 Everything is turning out beautifully. Hug
Brilliant Manuela! :)
Awww John saying you look great from all angles was so sweet! I can’t believe how crazy difficult that greenhouse was! Good on the guys that they persevered and got it put together. Loved this week Lola and Crusoe were so cute together ❤loved the Timelapse on the tiny house! See you Wednesday friends! ~ Jen
We love seeing Crusoe and Lola together. The greenhouse project has probably been one of our most frustrating projects, but we will get there. Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
John seems like such a great man, as he shows Tara such respect. Love it! You got a great one Tara!
Love your work ethic and your philosophy on integrating into another country and working with the locals. Thanks for sharing your lives with us!
Thanks so much for watching Linda, we love hearing from you 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Love that you are partnering with something promoting reading! Im a huge advocate for reading! 📚 I read out loud to my baby while I was still pregnant with her. Continued this after she was born until she could read on her own and then she would read to me. She turned her passion for reading into a career and is now a PhD Candidate at only 25 years old. If you can read you can learn anything! Go you!!
We absolutely love using Readly Wendy. That is incredible, well done to your daughter! Reading is so important. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
@@TheNewbys thank you! And thanks for sharing your journey. My Sunday morning routine always includes making a fresh cup of coffee and watching your vlog! ❤️
Tara's face looking at the instruction book is hilarious😂😂😂😂
Thanks Manuela! It’s a bit crazy we will get there in end. 🙏❤️
The look on Tara's face when you first looked at the instructions was priceless ..LOL ..Tiny house is coming along nicely . Hopefully the greenhouse will pay you back 10 times in production for all the pain it took to build it !
😂 these instructions are something else Andy. Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
Another heart warming enjoyable video. I think you are going to astonish yourself when at the end of the year you look back and see all you have accomplished. And what a wonderful recorded history for your children and their children to have.
Thanks Irene! We hope it’s going to be a great record! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️🙏
"there's always John if all else fails." LOL how wonderfully blessed!!
❤️😂😂🙏 Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Sawyer and Caruso look so much alike. Sawyers eyes are the most beautiful eyes ever. John you are doing a splendid job on the tiny house.👏👏.
Thank you so much Rachel. You are too sweet friend ❤️❤️❤️
I laughed out loud when Tara was saying John doesn’t use the instructions 😂😂😂, we have the same conversation! Ugh what two monumental projects! Cannot wait to see the greenhouse and tiny house completed! You two are amazing!!! ~Cara 😊
😂 glad to see we are not the only ones Cara! The greenhouse has probably been one of our most frustrating projects, but we will get there. Sending you lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Well, you've done it again...made an adorable little boy Sawyer is so precious and seems to smile often. Can't wait to see Crusoe and Sawyer playing together on that lawn and treehouse!
Thank you Carol ❤️❤️❤️
I am so enjoying watching you build this tiny house. It will be so lovely for your guests. You are a jack of all trades John, and Tara your plans for the chicken house are perfect.
Thank you Mona, we love having you join us on our adventure! Thanks so much for watching and for all your support 🐔🥚🏡❤️🇵🇹
Y’all are amazing. I can’t believe how much you’ve done already! Thanks for another great episode.
Thank you Lynn!!
Hello Newby family, so happy it’s Sunday….. another great video to view…. So thank you! To watch the process of all the improvements on the farm is fabulous, but best of all is watching your children grow up. Time is flying by….happiness to you all. cheers Noeline🙏🇦🇺❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Noeline, we are so glad you enjoyed this episode. Thanks so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️
🐥🐥🐥I think you’re getting a chicken coop!! That definitely is a huge benefit to have for your family farm! Crusoe especially after missing your last chicken and duck will be great at helping with raising them. He’s sounding like a much bigger boy btw - His vocabulary and pronunciations sound great! Also the tiny house looks amazing - the skylights is such a game changer and agree they should be above the windows - makes the room look so much bigger. Thank you for your updates - your Sunday vlogs are always an inspiration to do more 😀. Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Great guess friend! We are so glad you enjoyed this episode, thanks so much for watching 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
Agree, chicken coop.
I do so love your teaching your boys about the joy of reading! As a middle child growing up in Ohio, my parents as far as I can recall, never read to me. But read everyday now and I too love reading! Good job on all your projects.
We absolutely love reading with our boys Judith, such a special time as well! Thanks so much for watching and for all your support ❤️❤️❤️
Great progress on the tiny house! Agh…the greenhouse…that would freak me out …but the tomatoes will be worth it! Happy Portuguese Father’s Day John, and Happy English Mother’s Day Tara! I’ve never known these two days collide but let’s celebrate all round! Beijinhos 💕
Thanks so much Hilary! we are so appreciate of your support ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely amazing how you are instantly going on and on and on with all the projects. 🎉I love the new impression of the tiny house with the window and the white walls. And Tara , your beauty has blossomed in the last week's, your eyes are shining full of life.
Thanks so much Judith, you are too sweet friend. We have been very busy on the farm and very excited to share it all with you too 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
The tiny house is looking amazing, guys! Can't wait for the next episode. Cheers, Márcia 😊
Thank you Marcia ❤️❤️❤️
The baby looks just like dad! So adorable.
Thank you Allyson!
All my nieces and nephews were read to from babyhood. Today, I'm happy to say, all are readers. Projects: "Life is what happens while you're working at your coming together!" Or, my favorite, "If you want to hear God laugh, tell him you've got plans!" A flagstone floor would be useful, and better yet, it's movable when you decide the green house would be better "over there". Don't you sometimes wish you really could flip a switch and work at fast foreward? What a time saver that would be! You're both doing marvelously well! Can you hear us cheering you on? Go Newbys!!!!!
Great to hear from you Abigail, we love reading to our boys. So special! We love the sound of that floor friend, thanks for sharing. Always love learning from our community. YES we do wish that sometimes but just keep reminding ourselves that we need to enjoy the journey. Thank you for cheering us on friend ❤️❤️❤️
Aw well done guys ur home is coming on just lovely 😊 remember Rome wasn't built in a day and to stop and enjoy the process ... John doing brilliant with his diy skills 🌳🍄🦋🌸
You are quite right Polly. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️🇵🇹
You guys are my favourite channel on a Sunday, Wednesday too! The tiny house will be gorgeous! I think John would have built an awesome custom greenhouse with some bricks, sticks and mortar!!👍🏻👍🏻 Fingers crossed! 🤞😁
Thank you Kathy. We agree with you, that would have been a lot easier too but that is how we learn. Thanks so much for watching 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
John I do believe that you just let a big cat out of a big bag!!!! But don’t despair the green house is the foundation of your productive farm - food, flowers and swaps, altogether well worth the effort. Well done Newby’s WCL
John has never been good at keeping secrets Patricia 😂 Thanks so much for watching ❤️🇵🇹
I’m finally writing. I just want to say how much we love everything you do. We are always anxious to see every Wednesday and Sunday episodes never miss it. We love your non-stop energy, your vision of what needs to be done and the actual results are amazing and we cheer you on with each project. Good luck with everything.
Thank you Bonnie, we are so appreciate of your support friend. Thanks so much for watching ❤️🇵🇹
I love it. That guesthouse came together really quickly! Nothing to do with time-lapse lol! 😊 It does look awesome, well done 🎉
If only the tiny house build was that quick Daryl 😂 Thanks so much for watching friend 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Congratulations! You must be feeling so good about all that you have accomplished. Way to go! 🇨🇦
We are Denise, thanks so much for all your support ❤️❤️❤️
The conversation about John helping you build the greenhouse had me laughing out loud when you gave that wide eyed look at the camera. 😂🤣😂
😂😂 we are glad you enjoyed that part Victoria! Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🙏🏼❤️
Wow, what a difference a coat of paint and the skylight and the boarded ceiling, everything is amazing. Just spotted the floor at the end. John you are a genius . Very well done. I hope you get the green house sorted, I have every faith in you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Deirdre, we are so appreciate of your support friend 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
Loved the progress on your farm , John your hard working man. Me and the wife are really enjoying the videos you both produce every week. 👍
Thanks so much for watching Andy, sending you both lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
This was a lovely update, you guys are so determined and courageous. You've tackled so many difficult things and are doing so well. Love watching your adventures each week. So excited to see the evolution of your family and your beautiful piece of land through the years. ❤
Thank you Char! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡
Great to promote reading books! Go for it. I think it's really important! And playing outside even when it's raining 😊 what a great way to grow up! The project are going very well 🎉
Thanks Teresa! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
Lovelies reading to my children when they were young was bliss (4 young ones under 7yrs) I would sit in the middle of the couch and each night it would be someones turn to pick a book from our stash of books whether it be Golden Books or Dr Zeus or Goosebumps when they were older. A luv of books & reading is so important to instill when our babes are young - keep up the great work. Brilliant job John, with the skylight - it's going to look awesome in the Tiny House. Tara - so will the Greenhouse too - those kits are always made to do your head in - I can't wait to see it completely - bugger the rain interrupted the progress - but you'll get there, of course in the end. Cheers Debz from Oz
We also love reading books to Crusoe every night before he goes to bed, so special! Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, it's really starting to look like a tiny house, amazing transformation! Greenhouse & chicken coop coming to the farm in Portugal next.
Thanks so much for watching Jamie, we are so appreciate of your support 😊🌱❤️🇵🇹
It’s so nice to see your jobs getting started and some finished. Good work you guys👏🎶❤️🎶🤗🎶🇨🇦
Thanks so much for watching Joanne, we are so appreciate of your support ❤️🇵🇹
Never get tired of skylights! Tiny shiny house! ❤ Soon you will have veggies in your greenhouse! My husband built me a greenhouse. He had a terrible time getting it level. But he persevered and it turned out great! He put pine needles down in the isles and they made such a nice carpet! Nice to kneel in and smelled so good when the sun warmed them! 🥰 I am so glad to see the wonderful values you are teaching your children. Nature is tops, working with family and neighbors, reading to them and learning to love good wholesome food! With the reading, we actually read above their age some. It was amazing how fast they learned They are both good readers and learners. 😊
We are so excited to start planting some things in the greenhouse Rhonda. Love the sound of pine needles, thanks so much for sharing. we are so appreciate of your support friend 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
What a great work you have done with this renovation contruction work. The floor with the New floor is great!. The children are looking so healthy and the beautiful baby is so sweet and keep looking at his father with sweet eyes.
Thank you Ilcia, we are so appreciate of your support 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
You're going to love that greenhouse when it's finished! It's almost time to plant our tomatoes in South Carolina! The tiny house is looking wonderful! - Christy
We are hoping it will be worth it Christy 😂 taking long enough to build! Thanks so much for watching and for your constant support, it means so much to us 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
Loved all the speeded-up sections - a really fun way to see it all coming together. The Tiny House has come a long way since you first started and will be a lovely building when it's all done for sure. And PS, the boy's dinosaur clothes are fab.
We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Lottie. We wish the projects were as quick as the time lapse! Thank you for the constant support, your comments always put a smile on our faces ❤️❤️❤️
I couldn't help but notice how much quicker the greenhouse went up after the beers showed up. Lol.❤️👍
Thanks Mary!! 😂😂😂 exactly!!
Great progress on the tiny house, and I love the skylight. I really had a good chuckle when you were trying to erect the greenhouse. Hope you have a brilliant week ahead🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Rene, we are so appreciate of your support friend 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
oooh exciting, so much progress, you're working so hard and its coming together, greenhouse, veggies, be bee's & chickens next ? thanks for sharing your family, so cute x
Slowly but surely we will get there Heather. Stay tuned to find out what arrivals we have coming soon! Thanks so much for watching 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
Wow, it's a lot done despite the rain. So happy for you all.
Thank you Peter! 🙏❤️
Haaaa-haaa! You make me feel so much like I'm right there with you, that when you're driving off to go shopping, and you're waving from the car window, I'm sitting her on our sofa in the State of Washington, and find myself waving back!!!!! Thank you for having that gift!!!
We love having you part of our journey Mary, all the way in Washington! Your support (and waves) mean the world to us ❤️❤️❤️
Skylight is great. Tara was right. John was listening. Good job family. Crueso is cute as a button, and Sawyer is just sweet as a baby can be. My very favorite family on youtube. Real, unpretentious, and loving.
Thanks so much friend, we love hearing from you ❤️❤️❤️
Well done! A round of applause all around. Sawyer looks as if he will be a Ginger Ninja 🧡 and looking good like his Dad 'at all angles' 🤩😁. Sending so much love to you all. Bless your hearts. 💞🙏🌞
Thank you Moira, we also think he will have John's hair. Although John thinks his hair is getting lighter and lighter but I don't think so. Thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
The ceiling is so much better with wood than with concrete. Wood brings warmth to a room. I also love the traditional tiles. Great job 👍
Thanks Hanifa 😊🙏🏼❤️
Tara, you are looking amazing. John, you are sooo lucky that a) that skylight fitted 1st time and b) that you got it in before the rain. I think having the sky lights in line with the windows is the right idea. It will make it look very professionally done. The 1 skylight and paint on the walls have made it look much bigger. I have to admit i am not an instruction reader.(i call them destructions as that is what they appear like). The green uoyse will definitely be worth it. Little Sawyer gas got his dad's strawberry blond hair. I adored how Crusoe was so concerned about Lola's "baby's head being wet. I think he will grow up to be a gentleman who will respect women and who will have learnt from his dad how to treat women correctly. He and Sawyer (and any further babies you may have) are also going to grow up knowing the joy of reading. I loved reading to my niece, and she in turn reads with her sons. Lovely video again See you Wednesday. X
Thank you Mary, you are too kind. We are so grateful that John got the measurements right for the skylight. Love that you call them destructions 😂 Thanks so much for watching friend, see you on Wednesday ❤️❤️❤️
Lovely to see the little house taking shape😊. Exciting!!! Well done!
We are getting there Rene, slowly but surely. Thanks so much for watching 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
So lovely to see you reading with the boys 💕💕 The amount that you talk with them and ask them genuine questions is such a boon to their logical thinking and vocabulary. (I'm an elementary teacher so I notice these things 😅). I so enjoy your videos every week! Good luck with all your continuing projects!
Thank you Evan. We absolutely love reading to our boys. We are so appreciate of your support ❤️❤️❤️
Ha ha smart way Tara , say John is only helping 😂😂🤗
Helping/fixing Sonali 😉 😂
Trabajos intensos! Se los ve algo cansados. Fuerza Tara y John . Llegará finalmente el disfrute y la satisfacción de lo logrado!❤
Thanks so much for watching Maria, we are so appreciate of your support ❤️❤️❤️
Hang in there, I have the same green house as you are assembling. I did it all by myself and itis on a solid foundation around the edges. I was in my early 70's then and now I'm 78. It makes sense once you get started. I could do it again with no problem. Don't give up please, just start.
Thanks so much for the encouragement Pat! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️🙏
congradulations! the tiny house seems so nice from now :) 💖
Thanks Feriste! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. ❤️🙏
Wow! What a transformation in the tiny house. 🤩
Thank you Edna, we are getting there friend. ❤️🙏👍
The Montessori approach to reading could be amazing for you guys... especially since everything is nature based by you. I run a Montessori School in South Africa and can forward you loads of wonderful ideas you can do outside and inside🎉😊
Love that idea Mary! Thank you so much. You can email us info@thenewbys.co.uk ❤️❤️❤️
Bravo on another eventful video, this episode called READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS....ties in well with the ReadLY program you are promoting, reading is one of the most important gift a child can have, myself when was very young would spend all my Saturday mornings at the library. Your skylight is tremendous and the greenhouse will be too, although I thought it would be bigger, chicken coup is next as John funny acted out behind you Tara, nice that your friends from the UK came to help at an opportune time and brought a little friend for Crusoe too, Crusoe and Lola joy to see them playing. All goes well on the Newby farm. Planting you tomatoes next. See you next Wednesday 🇵🇹🏡👏👍🤗🙏💖🌺🦋☺️
Love this Joanne, we absolutely love reading to our kids and love reading ourselves. John has never been great at keeping secrets 😂 Crusoe always has a great time with Lola. Thanks so much for watching friend, see you on Wednesday ❤️❤️❤️
Wow!! talk about teamwork, looking good, enjoyed seeing Crusoe & his little friend!
Thank you Kathy! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
A chicken coupe?!!!!! I love you guys. My Sundays can’t get here fast enough, even though work is the following day.
Great guess Cindy, stay tuned to find out 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
The cute baby is observing everything ❤
Hi Julia, Crusoe is so involved with everything! Thanks so much for watching and taking this journey with us, your support is so very much appreciated! 👍🙏🇵🇹🏡
I'm fascinated by what your doing in Portugal to your house. Is positive. I like to think I could do the same frightened too.
Thank you Owen, you could definitely do the same friend ❤️❤️❤️
once again you pleasantly surprise me, not only for the extraordinary result of your effort, and here I am referring to Tara, who, having two small children, still has courage to help with works and strength to do so. You two are very, good with everything you do. It's good to see that you know Ricky and Victoria's channel. I'm following their channel and also Theo and Bea from Indie Project, and I like you all a lot. I'm from Lisbon, I'm living in London, I'm a city girl 😅, but I recognize that countryside people are more friendly and generous than city people. Love you guys❤
Thanks so much for watching Grace, we love hearing from you. we are so appreciate of your support ❤️❤️❤️
Great job john. Love he two kiddies playing. Crusoe so concerned baby doll head wet. Loved it…….❤
Thanks Maria! ❤️❤️🙏🙏
I am a huge fan from Malaysia. Tara and John doing what they love. John is a great carpenter and handyman, but not plumbing apparently. Crusoe and Sawyer are so lucky to grow up in the farm. Once all projects are done and dusted, the farm will be sustainable and will be a fun place to stay..Can't wait to see the outcome a few years ahead.
Thanks so much for all of your support Anthony ❤️❤️❤️
I think the first thing the other couple did was separate all the parts into piles by part numbers. This made it easier to find when assembling.
Very clever Carol! Thanks so much for watching 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
Another Sunday night adventure xxx
Thank you Madelyn! ❤️🙏
A stone carved bench and water fountain/bird bath under the vines
Love that idea Sonali! Thanks so much for watching 🏡😊🇵🇹❤️
I just love your channel. Again great progress with the tiny house and the greenhouse. You are so brave to be entertaining guests. Onwards and upwards.
Thank you Jane, we are so appreciate of your support ❤️🇵🇹
I was laughing when John said “ lucky tape measure “ I thought yep You Lucky you could find it 😂. Another awesome video. That greenhouse would have me in a conundrum too.
😂 John is very lucky he could find it Stacia! Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️🇵🇹
This volg deserves a round of appaulse 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 just amazing 👏 😀 ❤
Thank you so much Mary, this means the world to us ❤️❤️❤️
Ha Ha, John gave it away for the chicken coop for your new chickens. Loved his little chicken dance, LOL.
😂 he has never been good with keeping secrets John. Thanks so much for watching ❤️🇵🇹
I got some really good laughs from this video. Chicken coop is coming! Thanks for the hints :D. It will be so awesome to have your own eggs. Love seeing the progress on the tiny house. And John reading directions. :) Wow that greenhouse seems complicated. I can see why help was needed. As always, Love watching Crusoe help!
We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Patty. Stay tuned for our new arrival! Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️🇵🇹
Tara, I laughed when I saw your look as you opened the instructions and then John's rendition of building a greenhouse... My question is what man reads instructions??? LOL!!! Here's the good news you each have your talents and I love that you appreciate each other's talents. It's looking good!!! Crack on as you both say!
😂 great question Nancy! Thanks so much for watching 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
I`ll be honest, at first, I wasn`t paying much attention to your channel as I was following too many similar "life in Portugal" channels. Now, a few months later, yous is one of the few I watch, and for many reasons. First, you`re in the north. Most are in central Portugal and since I`m from Porto and know Amarante fairly well (dated a chick from there and cracked my head in the river as a kid just to point a few memories xD ). Second, you have kids. A family. You show the struggles, how it is possible to combine all. You interactions with locals and wanting to be much more active within the community and not get stuck in your own bubble like many. You clearly don`t make KZhead videos just for the money (don`t blame you if you do a bit as it is fair). You remind me a lot of one of my favorite channels - Farmer For Life. If not familiar, check them out. You can learn a lot about farming. I also follow Life by Living and ditched a few, specially one that I got very disappointed with their "grandeur" and money-driven "off grid" luxury life. Keep being real, humble, funny, inspiring and an example to your boys. They will grow up with such good values. By the way, not sure if you do but try to also get Crusoe involved with other children from the community as it will help him develop his portuguese, which will make it a lot easier when school time arrives. Maybe getting him on pre-school will get him the best of both worlds and will free you two up for a few hours.
Hi César, wow thank you for such a lovely comment. We are so appreciate of your support. Putting Crusoe in a pre-school would be great, they only accept kids from the age of 3. So we will definitely look at that next year as we agree with you, it is such a great way for him to learn the language. We have also asked Joao to speak to Crusoe in Portuguese when he is with him, so that he can start learning a little bit. Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️🇵🇹
Bonjour à vous ! Je vous suis depuis votre arrivée au Portugal ! C’est fabuleux l’énergie que vous avez tous les 2 !…et votre garçon Crusoe également ! Quels beaux projets ! Bonne continuation à toute votre famille !
Thank you Marie-France. We love having you part of our journey, thank you for all your support 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Love that...John's been roped in to building a greenhouse. Was there ever any doubt?? 😉
I am so thankful that he is always there to help Chuck! Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🌱🏡🇵🇹❤️
John beautiful work on the tiny house,happy living at your farm,enjoy watching.
Thanks Ronald ❤️❤️❤️
Όταν υπάρχει αγάπη και σεβασμός και το αποτέλεσμα είναι ένα αριστούργημα. Χαίρομαι πολύ για σας!
Thank you so much Suzana ❤️❤️❤️
Wow, the sky light looks amazing, as does the ceiling! It's gonna be such a charming little house.
Thank you Valorie!! ❤️🙏
It might be worth investing on a portable gazebo - useful for rainy day jobs - moveable and light weight - use shade for the summer when eating, the children playing, over the sand pit - could be used for shading in the veg garden Happy mother's day 😘
Thanks Carol, love the sound of a gazebo! Great to hear from you friend, we are so grateful for your support! 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Hi fam , great work. I'm new here and already enjoying all your Diy projects. I'm a Zimbabwean and enjoy working in the farm
Hi Scino. Yay! We are so excited to have you join us on our adventure. We always love hearing from you and are so appreciate of all your support. We post a video every Wednesday and Sunday 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Awesome video, as usual! The instructions for the greenhouse had my head spinning just looking around it...🤪😜😵🥴! It will be so nice when completed though, as will the tiny house! Hugs to Crusoe & Sawyer! You all take care and stay safe! 🥰💜🙏
Those instructions have been driving us insane Teresa! Thanks so much for watching friend, sending you lots of hugs ❤️❤️❤️

John your work is so neat and professional. You make a good team. Felicity Jacobs, Cape Town, South Africa
Thanks so much Felicity! we are so appreciate of your support 😊❤️🙏🏼🇵🇹
Try to grow "coração-de-boi" tomatoes. Typical of your region (North Portugal) and are simple the best ever. Just available and worth to buy during summer (grown organically), when you can buy them in local markets directly from the producers/farmers. They are always more expensive than other varieties, but are totally worth every single cent.
Thank you TyMark, will definitely see if we can get some. Thanks so much for watching friend 😊🌱❤️🇵🇹
I will forever be using John’s term the angle of doom. That was just so funny. As for your green house project, I understand your pain as I put something together yesterday and I finally drilled some of my own holes in order to finish it. Enjoyed your video as always. Cheers!
We are so glad you enjoyed this episode Leo, Thanks so much for watching friend ❤️❤️❤️
Saludos desde Puerto Rico! Desde que descubri su canal no me pierdo ningun episodio, son muy entretenidos. Los felicito, han hecho un trabajo fenomenal en corto tiempo. No puedo esperar para ver la casita terminada. Crusoe es un nino encantador siempre dispuesto a ayudar en todos lados. Los felicito!
Thanks you Natalia! What a lovely comment to read. Thank you friend. we are having so much fun here on the farm. Great to have you joining us. 🙏🇵🇹🏡
Hello little family, surely you didn't do all that in the tiny house in just one day? If you lived in time lapse world I'd understand, but real time? Crusoe is showing himself to be extraordinarily clever with speech, understanding the world around him, and recognition, understanding humour is a sure sign of a clever young Newby, it shows just how important good parenting is and you two have certainly proven that, it is a real pleasure to be given this opportunity of sharing your journey, just wait until Sawyer gets in on the act, we know nothing of his personality or progress except his gorgeous face that lights up when he smiles which he seems to do readily. See you next time, bravo to the camera people and the editors. Cheers!!🥰💞💕👍💪
We are not but will definitely have a look at their channel, thanks for sharing De ❤️❤️❤️
We believe you are a handy dandy husband John.Blessings
Thank you Heather! 🙏❤️❤️
Oh my gosh, seeing those greenhouse instructions and all of the parts gives me serious agita! Oof. Tiny house is looking good!
Thanks Nancy!! 🙏❤️
