Perfect time spent with all of you. Watching you work, plant, cook etc., is so pleasing to this ole 84 lady. I miss hard work, but our bodies have limitations as we age. (Except for Nick). He’s a miracle. Love to all.❤

So excited to see your new living quarters come up. God bless Nick for being such a helpful & and generous friend.

Good morning, Carissa and Iwan. Good work on putting the roof on your new bedroom / bathroom. Nick is truly a legend. I love that you help each other. All the shots of your fur family, the gardens, and the clouds are beautiful. See you next week❤️❤️

Really enjoyed today's episode. Uncle Nick has become the local expats roofer, consultant. You all have a lovely cameradie which I like .

Bless the sweat of their brow Lord as they put their home together one board one nail!one screw and human strength .amen

That was quite enlightening seeing the garden bed being disassembled. Only 18 months and already there was a really good amount of natural activity going on there.. Carissa you really are getting to be a dab hand in the veggies patch. Iwan, you are correct when you say an extra hand is always welcome when it comes to Uncle Nick.. What a marvellous friend to have. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the cabin progresses. Already it’s a great shaded area. Sending love and best wishes🌸❤️🌸❤️

Thank goodness Nick lives close . You guys work good as a team!

how sweet, the two cats and dogs. they sleep best when it's raining outside. chill mode on

The building project is interesting. I can't wait to see how it developed. Of course, the kitties are stars and the rest of the animals seem so happy, too. It's all very delightful and Nick seems to be the wise wizard around town, full of wisdom and helpful.

Diogo’s eyes and ears 🥹 I love him. The cats 🥹. The shot of the clouds, heavenly 🥹. Nicks worth more than his weight in gold on this channel, his channel and one other that I watch. Love you guys! Stay well.

Boy that Nick is a good man to have around, looking great everyone!

The effort you've put into your gardens is showing! Well done. I just love your animal companions! Diogo and Albie have adorable personalities and I love that you can allow them the freedom to be themselves. Good going on your pallet build, a roof makes all the difference. Keep up the good work!

Uncle nick is a treasure,so peaceful watching .i look forward to it every week ❤

So very happy for your new building! You have great friends in Nick and Andrea! He is always willing to help!!!!!

Absolutely marvellous to see you guys working peacefully. Getting stuff done. Nick is a true friend and it’s great that you both help each other. Have a great week. 😊

I think even John Constable would be jealous of the clouds and trees at around 2:45 - truly beautiful! Several times I have thought that João and Albi look like the Yin and Yang symbol - they look so content together!

Nick I'll say it again you and Ange are gifts from God. What would these precious folks do without you!!!❤

Iwan is a strimmer champion! The cabin looks massive, a palace out of pallets😊

I loved your opening shot of the animals. How wonderful life would be if we all could feel like them.

I love my Saturday with you guys. It’s so relaxing and peaceful. You don’t do that clickbait malarkey that so many other youtubers do. Everything is very tastefully done and you show your personalities in everything you do. Wonderful channel. ✊❤️🥂

There were parts of the video the mic wasn't on all. At fire I thought it was my ear buds but then other times I could hear it.

I'm sure you have lots of experts telling you how to make bread but what I've done with "not so successful " loaves is cut them up...dry them out, then crumb them for other recipes. No waste.

With bread, if you tap it with your knuckle and it rings hollow, it's done.

Thank you for adding description/ names of flora and fauna. It’s so interesting! I love that you’re in contact with The Indigo Escape, another favorite of mine.

That plastic is like when you buy one of those lint rollers and can't get the top layer off. Cement! but it doesn't rid you of the lint or cat hair. lol! The roof looks wonderful. I enjoy this learning process. you two make it look easy and so does Nick. So lucky you all have each other to help each other. That's what a community should do for each other. It's one of the things I absolutely love about living in a small rural village in Italy. Community is everything. Thank you for sharing your journey again with us all. I really enjoy watching you two working and living and enjoying life with your animal family. love from Italy Katie

Wonderful see how helpful nic is to always lend a hand and advice to younger generation 😊

Here I am in my 80st and I love the way you reuse everything .I AM LEARNNG FROM YOU EVERY DAY .AND TRYING NOT TO WASTE WHATEVER I HAVE

Sourdough cooks well in a heavy pot with a lid (for first 20 mins), like a LeCreuset or similar. As it keeps the moisture in, then remove lid for 2nd 20 mins to make crust. 2 other things… prewarm the cooking pot and use baking paper. The thin tin (without baking paper) will cause the outer edge to cook quickly and is more likely to stick.

That’s by far the best way to cook bread especially sourdough!

So, so lovely to see them all snuggling up….they bring so much joy …and thank you for sharing them with us in your videos ❤❤❤❤

To stop the dough sticking to your hands during kneading, simply add more olive oil to your hands and the board you're kneading on. ❤

If you’re not using parchment paper to line the bread tin, oil it before putting in the dough- it works and you won’t have the sticky problem (I learned this the hard way too)!

I know you're all done with the roof, we used exactly the same for our garden house...found the plastic comes much easier if the panels are cold and yes you do need 3 sets of hands😂😂. Great job.

What a wonderful man nick is to help you good luck to all of you

I felt for you, Carissa, doing that finicky, tedious plastic removal!😬 but it is good to see the progress on the cabin. Good uncle Nick is always willing to come to the party and help👏❤ The gardens are really looking lovely, established and lush🥒🥬🥦

Parchment paper to line the tin would save you replacing it? Love how the cats cuddle together like ying & yang on the chair.

Having just seen Dan, Laura & Nick peel that plastic off for what seemed like hours, I feel for Nick having to go through it again 😂

Hi guys,another job done,roof on and Nick the Legend helping. Lots of space and in no time cosy and homely. Thanks as always for sharing. Have a great week ahead.😊❤

In your new cabin build will you be having a bathroom in the cabin . It will look amazing once finished. And what a great friend Nick is to both of you . Such a treasure,

The second time in a week, I’ve seen Nick help and instruct in installing a roof and the second time the sticky barrier has almost won! 😂 great job by all

The cats and dogs are so sweet :)

My favorite parts of your videos are the sky and cloud shots. Love them

Your new cabin's looking good, your gradens're looking amazing, and your 4 fur babies are as cute as ever!😍😍😍😍😍

The music is very soothing, another great video guy's and good old nick too the rescue x

When the bread is sticking to your hands, I add a little flour to the board and on my hands.

Oh gosh that plastic covering on the roof panels/ceiling was a bugger! Nick the Legend to help❤ what a project! It looks beautiful from the sky looking down! Well done team! Gardens looking fabulous! Corn plants looks great! Thank you dearly for sharing! Have a fabulous week❤❤

Great content...I'm calling you guys "the elves" because you are St. Nick's helpers. 😅

You two are doing so well, beautiful filming, crazy, colourful animals flopping about, an absolute gem of a video and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the whole thing. Does the hedgehog have a name ? I suggest Hilary if it’s a girl and Henry for a boy. ❤❤❤

I hope you put a little porch outside with an overhead it would be So cute

Being an interior designer your front doors would look beautiful off-white colour, so would the Brown pieces of furniture in your kitchen. I love LUXENS COOL 4

Great video once again. Lovely to see Nick helping you out again, it's great that you help each other out. Interesting to see how your pallet cabin turns out. Thanks for sharing. ATB to you and your fur babies. Take care and stay safe.

Beautifully filmed, a real time in motion. Be great for you guys to watch and reflect on in 20 years time.

Hi both and thank you for another beautiful video, I love to see your updates. The image quality and filming are gorgeous, and the sound is really good, except that it seems to me when you use the clip on mic, it all goes to one side/ear only. I listen to your videos with headphones. When you had the music + voice when emptying the raised bed for example, I had the music in one ear, and the voice in the other. When there is no music but you have the clip on, it's all coming from one ear only. Just thought I'd let you know, since it must be a setting or a little tweaking or something. It was the same for your (beauuutiful) garden update last video. No sound issues at all other times. 🙂

You should harvest the rainwater ! Get some ibic containers and put them in the ground. And make some natural ponds. It will benefit the land and the wildlife.

I’m not even a cat person but omg too sweet

Great Video, you all make a Great Team together, Well Done, Great Work 👍😊 xx

The butterflies on your land are very beautiful with so many I've never seen before.

Good job. Things are moving along quickly. 😊

This is an interesting build I must say and I am enjoying it very much.

Wow guys, I’m beyond exited for your new home, the roof looks amazing. Well done you….. ❤

Thst rain will have been good for your plants 😊😊 that damn plastic i felt so frustrated for you in the heat ad well, but the roof looks good, you'll soon be there now🎉🎉🎉

well done you guys Nick looks a great fella

This made me smile😁 Had me 2 coffees for this Awesome extended episode, and a surprise visit from Uncle Nick👍👍. Glad to see the Roof on , what a victory. Thanks for the longer vids , makes my Idaho saturdays relaxing and easy. It was 42F here this morning, ,brrrrr so crisp and cool. Glad we get a break from the heat.

Tip for getting the "plastic" to release instead of pulling away lift slightly and pull towards yourself while gently lifting it will not break and it releases the glue stays on the plastic and makes everything easier. Seems counterintuitive but it works same when removing tape etc.

Lovely video like always 😍😍 the building is looking great already. Well done everyone

I have Emmanuel Hadjiandreou's How to make bread book and as a complete novice following his recipe my bread comes out amazing, looks and tastes great. I have a bone deformity in my lower arms and wrists so doing the usual kneading isnt an option but his method of leaving the dough in the bowl and pulling the side into the middle, the rotating the bowl and repeating all the way round, I am able to do with ease. It is a little longer process than some other methods Ive seen but it definitely works, I bought the book on Amazon in case your interested. New cabin is coming on great x

I love this build it is exactly what I need for my retirement home! Will you release on video of the complete build? Sending it to my brother who is a builder! I watched the roof part several times and cannot tell if you added two pieces together to form and attached to pallets? Love the music and really enjoy the build, brilliant! Great channel on self sustainability.

We certainly will! Probably towards the end of summer

I enjoy your videos a lot. Starting to watch you regularly

I don’t know if you have a slow cooker but you can cook bread in a slow cooker, you just mix ingredients knead it for 10 mins then pop it in the slow cooker and its all done. Its very quick.There is videos on KZread tube to show you how.
