Is Mario's name pronounced "Marryo" as John says it or "Maareeo" as Tara calls him. I'm confused 😊
Your kitchen looks wonderful- you are so fortunate in having John to had- make it all for you with such a beautiful result. Love all the pieces from Africa- I was born there- near Machadodorp in the Eastern Transvaal.
I so enjoy watching your channel ❤it’s amazing seeing how far you have come from the start of venture, everything is looking fantastic
Thanks so much for all your support Nicole 🙏🏼🙏🏼
My grandma used to call them Christmas moss, i don't remeber the real name.
If u get one of those old olive trees the boys would have a blast climbing in it.
It all looks good.
You could use that gap to create a built-in shelf for your shampoos and things and with that tile, it'll look great
So lovely to see 🙏🙏🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼
The bathroom is looking wonderful. It was fun to see Crusoe sitting with Mario in the tractor and having so much fun with big whole. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much Delisa. We are so excited to see how it all turns out 🙏🏼🙏🏼
It’s all coming along nicely. What a treasure Joao is i bet he is learning tons off you but at the same time he is also teaching you. Hope he is studying something like engineering at university. My partner is a plumber & electrician, he installs the shower tray first prior to tiling so it creates a watertight seal but it depends on the country they all do thinks slightly differently we found that when we migrated from England to Australia.
❤❤❤❤
As much as I love Tara you should have pushed that button 😂😂😂 keep well John maybe put in a certain amount of hours in a day the people on your channel are going nowhere , your health is your wealth ❤
Mary 😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤
With all the plums that you have. Have you tried making plum jam.
Hi Christine, yes we have! It was delicious ☺️🙏🏼
Good progress, well done Crusoe for climbing that ladder, and Obi is so sweet x
Oh John. Did u put a coating of water proofer on the shower wall and floor? Or at least a rubber matting on floor and a little ways up the wall? So that shower doesn’t leak? Yes shower pan first and then tile.
I love the honesty in this video and love your story. I am now 62 and planning a move to central Portugal in the next 18 month on my own. Slightly nervous but you only live once
That’s so exciting friend! Well done for taking that leap, we know you’re going to love Portugal ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
Aww Crusoe’s little face when he saw Mario with the digger. What a wonderful person Mario is, he is so good with him. Your boys are just so precious, Sawyer is growing up so quickly and has the most adorable smile. Sawyer helping with the hole for the septic tank and asking if his dad was ok ❤ . The bathroom is coming on really well and is going to look amazing when finished. Looking forward to the next episode xx
I agree with all of the nice comments left by others. This video kept me smiling. Your little bathroom is just perfect and I find it interesting, learning about this septic system.
John the miracle worker 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻❤️
Thanks Ziska! ❤️❤️
You are busy busy busy 💪🏻🕊💪🏻
😂😂😂 a pretty shitty subject , but very important 💪🏻😂💪🏻 love you ❤️❤️❤️

I am so sorry you lost your chickens. I know only to well the pain of losing your pets. Don't worry if someone says it is only a chicken they just don't know what it is like to love a pet. I feel sorry for the love of a pet is unconditional. The new chickens can never replace the ones you lost, but they will love you just as much. You still have have many happy memories of your lost chickens and 3 perfect footprints of Feefee. In my thoughts.
As incredible a piece of land as that is, I think the most amazing thing about your property is that you have João as a neighbour. What a brilliant young man he is, I love seeing his ingenuity complement yours to achieve whatever the goal is.
Seeing you down in that hole with your son scares the dickens out of me. Here in the US we use trench boxes to keep the sides safe when humans are in a trench or hole like that. Side wall collapse can happen so quickly and takes lives. Please be careful.
Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend.
Ingenious use of the slide to get the cement into the hole. Delightful little boys ❤ and their fabulous parents. Well done 'The Newbys '.
The chickens have great personalities, like the turkeys rescued by The Moons who also like to supervise and be amongst the action! Who knew?! 😂
I'm usually reluctant to comment on large channels where thousands of so-called followers take up all the space and those who have the channel don't have time or even want to respond. WE are just props and pull in money for and for channels. Well. Fun to sometimes follow this family and their dream. But I work on my own and rarely have time to follow other people's. Glad you're moving on. 🙏🌳🎋💚
Shower tray down first. Silicone all edges. Then wall tiles.
Atleast there is progress with the bathroom for your parents to utilise. Poor John's mother had to use that disposable latrine... That is a huge progress.
House extension!
Joao is getting so much knowledge working with you guys.
I can't believe the cost of the water connection went from $10 000 to less than $450
Your renovation costs seem low. I guess because you are doing a lot of the work yourself.
Congrats John on the crossing of the bridge! I am not sure if I could do it! Admiration for all of you!
Love watching you guys. You're one of my favorites on KZread. You are such great parents. And Crusoe he's so precious so interested in everything and doesn't seem to be afraid either. Look out for Sawyer he has a great little mentor leading him ❤
Thanks so much Donetta
Sou português e fico feliz pelo vosso trabalho e a vossa felicidade. São bem vindos!
Thanks so much friend! ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
❤
Sometimes there are things that happen, that you can't quite fathom in your mind,so when this happens , it is time to stop, breathe and just accept it is just so. LET IT BE! As John Lennon sang!
Love learning about the bees. Good on you to have planted so many flowers, John! Also love love love watching the time lapses of John working his magic and Tara in the garden.
I can’t believe what John can do unbelievable he’s just amazing. He’s a carpenter a builder electrician is there anything he can’t do. And the stuff he builds is absolutely beautiful. Well done. Love it.
AND...very clever you plan your projects!
So admire your determination; unafraid to tackle ANYTHING!!
I have shiny white tiles in my bath/shower. The water from the shower stains them which means that every time I shower I have to wipe them and dry them in order for them not to stain. In my previous home, I had dull white tiles and they were easier and did not have to be wiped.
The bathroom is looking so beautiful ❤❤❤❤
Thanks Sara!
I love the tiles you chose- I can’t picture a start white grout tho- maybe a darker cream. 💜. I’m sure whatever you have used looks awesome!! 💜
so exciting for your eldest son to be able to sit in the digger
John, your thought process is amazing. Watching you just place those tiles without written plans was crazy.
Clyde is they mane of orangatan.
That’s it! Thanks Joann 🙏🏼
This is awesome!
