Wishing Albi a speedy recovery. Lilly will have a lovely life with Nick and Andrea. 💚

It’s heartwarming to know that the kitten has found a loving home. I love the energy of Diego. Such an affectionate dog. He follows both of you doing your chores. Frankie is like a sage, very philosophical outlook! Regards from India, Delhi.

I can't think of a better place for your found kitten than Ang and Nick's!! They will love their Lily and you can visit her.😊

I felt your sadness, but you couldn't have asked for two better pet parents. ❤

Great decision on the kitten. She will be happy in her new home. I love watching in your animals playing. Your land is looking lovely.

I love the way you love your family .Everyone has a special place and a gift they bring to the table.We are an elderly couple and now only have one kitty.But thru the years we’ve had many pets and lived in many places .I remember my mother answering the question Why do you work so hard in every yard where you live ? She would answer by saying I want every where I leave to be prettier than I found it

So beautiful!❤

Nice to see you both over on Nick and Andrea’s helping out. Glad they homed Lily, as she will be loved. Have a great week guys, as you both work hard. 😊

Another fine job of filming! Good catch in the sky at the end!

I’m sad that we won’t be able to follow Popcorn Larry’s adventures every week on your channel but I can’’t think of a better home for her (Lily is also a more appropriate name than Popcorn Larry). I’m really looking forward to watching you build the new structure - fingers crossed that you will receive all of the pallets you need next week. I hope Albie recovers from his wound - please keep us posted!

Diogo is such a cool little dude.... loved the way he followed you with every one of the the pallets. Also happy that little Lily has found a loving home.All your animals always look so content living alongside you on the Homestead. Also thank you for the Aeropress code. Ive been looking at getting one for a while and you've pushed me to make a decision. Look forward to another calming session with you next week... maybe with an aeropress coffee in hand :D

Nice bit of rain, it's amazing how everything comes to life after a good down pour.

Love to see you doing a steady progress in your surrounding and improving your homestead.

Diogo bounding through the land! Love watching him! So glad his hip healed so well. He doesn’t seem to have any problems with it as he stretched off the sofa. Hoping Albi gets better soon. Saw you gave Lily to Nick and Angie! You make such beautiful videos. Thank you. ❤️ 🐈‍⬛🐶❤️

Lily has the best home. You did right. I am glad you got that rain. For this time of year, it doesn't look as dry as previous years. You both work hard in that heat. That is how we survived the heat wave. We waited for the sun to go down before doing anything. The garden is doing great. I love all your animals and garden scenes. They all have distinct personalities. Till next time.❤

it's pleasure watching your films Frankie

Lily has a wonderful new home! ❤

It is such a joy watching your videos, guys. Every Saturday I look forward to watch you sharing your daily tasks and the very special tasks took. Your garden is a soothing spectacle to see. Many thanks for sharing xx

Thank you for another beautiful and calming video ….as always it is very heartwarming to see your happy pets …🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🦮🦮🪿

Another great day on the farm with you all and the animals. Andrea will spoil the 🐈‍⬛. Have a good week. ❤

My son and my nephew have two aeropress cups, one at home and one at work. I visited the Valley Road open gardens last Sunday, including your mother’s

The beauty that you both bring to each vlog makes me want to move to Portugal. I keep telling myself that the heat and especially the critters, snakes etc wouldn’t be a problem… Just beautiful to follow your journey. Now to watch it all again. ❤️🥂xxx

Poor Albi that wound is big, hope it heals really well. Glad the chicken is okay. Nice that the kitten has gone to friends so you will get to see her regularly. Diogo is so sweet the way he follows both of you and with the pallets running back and forth x

I’ve been watching another pallette build…”steep in the woods”. Looking forward to this build series on your land 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏾💋💜

Poor Albi😢 I hope she will soon be ok again - and the chicken! God news about the kitten, you know, she's in good hands with loving people, and you get to see her all the time❤ Your cabin project is exciting, good luck.

Another graceful morning with all of you , loving your peaceful instrumentals, insects, flowers, cats and a skittish dog. Here in Downtown, Montpelier , Vermont, USA we too are awaiting 95s most of next week I have kept my front garden wet deliberately as the temperature climbs (it has been very moderate and I see a 42 F morning slipped in with a high Fahrenheit next week !! At almost 82 I am thoroughly enjoying lots of soccer and looking forward to the Olympics from Paris. Lots of Women's talk programs have sprouted so I stay in touch and expand my many talented female players' knowledge. I am thoroughly enjoying the reactions to my lush garden so your early morning videos are a delight.

Beautiful sky 💙

How wonderful to see that beautiful rain refreshing your land and seeing all the flowers come back to life again. Your little kitten has definitely found a new home with Uncle Nick and his wife. Diogo is a circus to watch as he plays in the garden, particularly with the water from the hose. Looking forward to next week's video xxx

Another great video the garden is coming on nicely, just loved the rain so soothing ❤

That angle/shot at 25:20 going forward (smaller focus to bigger one) is amazing! It must feel awesome coming in to your land with the garden (especially when they are lush and all green!) as the first view!❤

Love the breakdancing cloud dude! (34:17)

😍😍😍i knew she was going to uncle nicks.

Loved it:) Diogo made me laugh a lot, and Frankie chilling on her back too. Favorite part was when Carissa says "Oh you know what? I used this hand saw and was so surprised by how well it worked!" Tries it for a few seconds. Iwan says "No, we're not doing that." I agree that it would be SO crazy time consuming. Love you guys and always inspired by you

Sawzall? (considered indispensable in most carpentry crews). You may wonder how you did without it (wide variety of type and size of blades. Will live well beyond the pallets. No offense to the indomitable host and hostess but the animals almost steal the show - together a stunning repertory company for the delight of its adoring fans

How wonderful to hear the rain. We haven’t had rain for weeks here in Brisbane Australia

My Saturday morning happy spot! Love your beautiful photography and watching the antics of your furry family! The sounds of the rain storm was wonderful. Your garden and the land looks great, especially after the rain. It’s very interesting to watch you putting your pallets together to make your cabin. I’m so glad you found the perfect home for wee Lilli! ❤️🇨🇦

Lily will soon be one of the family in her new home, she's a tortoiseshell baggage so she'll stand up for herself alright. Watching the rain in your video & the sky here this evening in South Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is a very weird colour I've never seen before. Peculiar shade of grey, there have been a lot of various colours of grey skies here lately. ☔ Oh poor Albi wearing the cone of shame, hope her wound heals quickly. 🐾 ❤️

5:20 wild dog blurred DIOGO!!! geeze 🤣🤣🤣

Happy to see on Project Portugal that Pipioca (Lily) was adopted by Andrea and your Uncle Nick ❤👏🥰👏 Thank you for showing us the vegetation of your beautiful garden and veggie garden. Beets looked delicious! I will definitely try beets with feta ! Yummy! Frankie and Diogo are such cutie pies❤ I love Albi, Simbao, and Joah, too. 😻 The breathtaking evening sunsets and sky color schemes are worth saving for your children's book... ✌️💖

So lovely to see the rain and hear thunder! (from So. Calif. where summer rains are sparse to none). Your gardens will flourish~💚💗💛

Instead if a jigsaw getting a Sabresaw or reciprocating saw (both the same thing) Blades are twice to 3 times longer than a jigsaw ans way more rugged

Good day. Saturday here and as always watching your videos. ❤

love every video keep them coming-find them artful, and peaceful love all the animals, Frankie clearly my favorite

Diogo!!!!

Check out The Scotters, they are making their temporary home out of pallets. You might get some good inspiration there. Sending positive vibes

Reciprocating saw with a metal cutting blade is what you need for the pallets.

Try using zip ties in the trimmer Use the thickest zip ties you can fit through the holes The locking end goes into the hub with the tail out to do the cutting Cut to length Might last a little longer

A wonderful trip to Portugal this week, very relaxing to watch thankyou. A recipricating saw with metal cutting blades is the tool for the pallets. Plus with timber blades it will find uses in plenty of other jobs.

You guys and Nick and Angela are non stop..wish i was your age again..meantime we are doing our best to achieve a bit south of you guys. I really notice we are too far from other supportive offgriddy community people..hope that will change in time. Maybe by the time my grandchildren who are here grow up they will have such an incredible network of hardworking humans ❤

1wan and carris just want to say how I enjoyed your blog mainly the back ground music I'm dancing round my kitchen take care stay safe all the best ok forward your next blog ❤

The garden is amazing 🤩

I've seen a very effective tool for prising pallet wood apart, with nails, so no pallet wood is wasted at all. It has a long metal handle, like a crowbar, that acts as the fulcrum, with 2 tines on one end that you loop under the crossbeams on the pallet. Even when the wood is prised apart, you still have to complete nail removal with, say, a claw-hammer. But at least no wood is wasted. I'll try to find a link to show you what I'm referring to. I'll get back to you asap!

Your videography and editing are top notch.

Best of both worlds with the kitten... you can go visit and they cover the cost of vet and feeding!!! LOL ***(((hugs I know you love her)))***

Absolutely wonderful filming!❤

Broody hens can pick up fleas , so a good check is a must they can cause anaemia ❤

Good morning,I have been waiting for this ❤

Use a saw Zaw with a long metal blade. It works like butter. Reciprocating saw.

Every week I think I watch you all for your animals antics such cheerful fun. Diogo races round like road runner. Funny dog. He hit lottery when you all found him. I wonder often do animals sleep in cookroom alone. Maybe you all be together in big bungalow cabin. Exciting. Lot hard work.

So much of beauty on your homestead! 😍

Once again, great content.

Great job Great video as always, Cutting through nails on the pallets I've always uses a battery rip saw due to the longer blade

Love your beautiful videos I want to live with you guys & your gorgeous fur babies ❤❤

I enjoy watching your progress , but the added benefit is that you filming & compilation of scenes is really impressive

Always seems so calm and serene on your homstead even though you both work so hard on the land and your building projects. Look forward to next video

It needs a base plate and top plate in the USA we call them 2”x6” and 2”x4” wall studs then fit the pallets over the studs for structural support. Then nail or screw the pallets to the studs. It needs longer members to keep them together. The pallets act like blocking on the walls.

I like your videos very much. I've been watching them for some months now and was wondering why you are not using a drip irrigation system. You would use the water in a much more economic way while watering your vegetables 😊

Hi, Carissa and Iwan. What’s wrong with Albi? I hope that it’s nothing serious🙏 Roasted beets + feta cheese sounds yummy. I’m looking forward to watching the cabin build. See you next week.❤️❤️

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Watch the Scooters videos they just built a whole house with pallets turned out great!!!

When I had to separate pallets I lent them against a wall bottom facing out and hit the blocks with a sledge. Worked surprisingly well.

Diogo is hilarious when he has the zoomies, of course he loves playing in the water.❤

I’m glad your kitten found a new home but sort of sad for cat 3 (i can’t for the life of me remember all their names) who seemed a little like odd man out with cats 1 and 2 and had found a friend! but maybe he’s closer with the other 2 than it looks! Always love watching!

Great video.

I can recommend a reciprocating saw - mine has proved useful so often it still surprises me.

Yummy, my favourite veg to grow, peas, they are forgotten about most of the time. Nothing is more satisfying than getting them off the plant and on your plate the same day, those that survive that far lol.👍❤
