Moving into a stone cabin in the Spanish mountains (VOL 1) | A huge change of plans!

We’re moving into a stone cabin in Cantabria, the north of Spain. And no, this was not the plan just a few weeks ago. But everything has changed and we’ve found what will be our home for the foreseeable future. In this video we bring you along our first few days moving in.

    This country looks almost exactly like Montana where I live in the northern Rocky Mountains. I’ve lived here since 1966 and I never tire of the views. I love your new house and thank you for all the hours it takes to edit and upload videos to KZread. Congratulations on your new car. 🚙 I’ve got my late husband’s 1997 Toyota RAV4 that looks just like this emoji. Each time before I drive it, I have to hook up the battery negative cable because of a parasitic draw from probably a bad fuse that no one seems to be able to find and fix. Last time I took it to the Toyota dealer they charged me $700 for a battery and diagnostic test but the car ruined that battery in one year! I’m on my 4th battery in four years but by connecting and disconnecting the battery cable, this one should last. Pain in the neck. My other car is a 1999 Chevy Malibu (only 43,000 miles) that never gives me a bit of trouble but I don’t want to drive it on snowy salted streets in the winter. Where I live my cars are considered antiques so they have a permanent license plate and I do not pay any yearly fees or property taxes. 😁 Your new car looks like new and it’s a beauty!

    The beauty of starting from scratch (the four cabanas) and even from a house canvas not to your taste is that you get to create what iis to your taste and only then does it become ‘home’. A well decorated house that is not to your taste but is too ‘good’ to change is never home until you change it and you feel guilty about changing it.

    Hola chicos. He visto a penas un par de videos, pero me ha encantado vuestra historia, también acabo de escuchar el problema de los trámites, que deciros, España es f diferente, prefieren dejar que toda las cabañas se derrumben poco a poco, que dejar que unas personas les den una oportunidad. Pasa en toda España y por aqui en Andalucia quiza sea peor. Me alegro por vosotros y la oportunidad que se os ha brindado. Saludos desde Huelva.....

  • @WaleandMe

    @WaleandMe

    5 ай бұрын

    We were considering it, but we also need a car to be able to do big distances for when we go to the Netherlands, or move around Spain. In the end we couldn't find a 4x4 that was in our budget, that would also be comfortable for driving long distances and which had a reasonable fuel consumption. So we chose a car that could fit most of our requirements instead.
