    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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. 🙏🌳🎋💚

    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.
