Hidden well finally uncovered. Off grid the big question for the Portugal renovation project. Can we achieve total off grid or will we have to settle for partial.

I love that in this world, you can BUY abandoned things...people have literally figured out how to sell shit they never owned lol
I love how in this world some people are so stupid that they literally have no idea what the word abandoned means, Please don’t let me school you on the definition of abandoned 🤦♂️
Excellent..
🥰
Portuguese workers are excellent in construction . My neighbor’s husband restored their house ,the latter’s legacy,and made it a charming and very pretty house. Congratulations for this report!Cheers from deep south of France, 🖐😎🦊
I hate Ricard too 🤣. Don’t let the French hear you.
Ouzo is aniseed.then you have Bacardi rum .a mixer
Thank you for sharing this video❤👍🥰👍
Absolutely fascinating watching this style of building.
Skinny should have his own comedy show
The reno is coming along beautifully. The back of the house would look beautiful with a simple whitewash. Not sure about the fake stone on a rural property
You are a riot you definitely have funny ways of saying things I love it
Here in the Central Valley of California we’re going to get to 108 or 42C this week, it’s amazing how many similarities we have, also a huge Portuguese population also. The project is moving along nicely, those sketches by Larry are something else, gorgeous! Wasn’t it vinegar you used on your patio? Sure does look nice and great job with all her plants! Thanks for the episode and entertainment!
Tell skinny his biggest fan is in Maynard, Massachusetts and when I make it to the Algarve I'm buying drinks. Forca Skinny.
What a great time😊😊😊
You could do a full video just with Skinny. He's quite a character. Loved his impersonation of the German, 😂😂😂
Funny episode, as usual. Cristina, I don't know why you plant all your tomatoes in pots - in your baking hot patio environment. They would be much happier in the soil, on the land below the patio, and the need to water every evening would be less.
Trade your dark colored shirt for white cotton and you’ll be much cooler!
I love seeing your plants, Christina. They're really coming along nicely. Just don't go to the UK and expect James to water them.
I love you guys, James and Christina, but Skinny is quickly becoming the star of the show.
If I were you I would be removing some of those pavers in your patio and be planting a evergreen, medium tree or two for shade. It would help reduce the the heat also.😊
wow- all I can say is wow- I have 28 years in the house building industry in New Zealand, and wow- you lot did an outstanding job!
That’s so kind of you to say so. Thank you very much and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. It’s appreciated. Checkout our weekly videos, we’ve started another one.
I didnt want the video to end. So much work and skill went into tgia renovation. I loved watching every minute of it. Love the tiles on the stairs too ❤🎉
Skinny has the skinny on everything including the weather forecast 😅😊
Opening a 'window' as a serving hatch in the outside kitchen is a great idea.
Skinny will become a national treasure, and be written up in the history books 😄😆🤣. Cristina, your plants are lovely. I have thornless blackberry plants too, gifted by a friend, which are now in bloom. I can't wait for berries. Yum 😋. Have a great week guys!! 🥰🌿♥️
James looks very close to Hannibal Lecter !
Amazingly beautiful. You are very talented. I'm sure you made the community very happy also not having to look at the eyesore anymore. ❤
plants are looking great, thank you
Thank You for sharing 👍
Skinny's range of regional temperatures reminded me a bit of the flexible forecasts we get here in Blighty... Could be hot / could be cold 🤔Rain's pretty much guaranteed at some point in the day 😄Looks like you could do with some over there... The tomatoes would love it! Thanx for the entertaining video... Looking forward to the next episode 🤩
Stunning house🎉🎉🎉❤
Hi James and Cristina! LOL you need to put Skinny in front of a weather map. I have to say this renovation is becoming as interesting, if not more, than the village house. I’ll give the credit to Skinny, he’s awesome. I’m glad you have a fridge and cold water. Cristina, the patio looks great and your plants are looking fab, especially that little tree you propagated. Congratulations on your green thumb!
you and Skinny crack me up...
Another great video! Skinny 😂❤
Skinny the grafter ....some lad him...hope hes on €200 a day
Pls keep skinny Your chirps are priceless Nearly peed in my pants
❤️👍❤️👍❤️❤️👍👍❤️
Wonderful video as always. The reno is really coming along. Love the idea of the open kitchen/bar. Looking forward to seeing the school door Cristina is doing a reno on. Her handiwork is awesome.
Hi Christina! Before you put your passion fruit in the ground, make sure you have the proper support/ trellis already there! I have pictures of my neighbors that is perfect, then ours, that was properly trellised after the fact. I wish I could send you those pictures, but haven’t figured it out yet!
Another faultlessly Fawlty episode! Thank you so much for your excellent work🙀
😂 😂😂😂 That’s funny, faultlessly fawlty!! Now shut up Christine you’re talking too much!! James is quite the character 😂✌🏻
The renovation is coming along nicely! Glad to see you are taking time out to take care of yourselves!
Does Olive Grove bring much income in? I've a friend in Greece whom worked hard turning his cpl acre plot Olive trees ! Hes Greek. What a life , Great spot, you have to.
We love to hear Cristine's comments. The plan for the loofa sounds very nice.
Your lady 💍 is adorable. Such a cute couple
She is amazing and very fortunate to have snagged me! 😂😂
I thought it was a house 🏠 you bought done up, which is amazing what you and your brother done with the lads. Now I see 'land' ! Thats a whole other undertaking. Hope 'skinny' okay !
This is another property we are doing up! Skinny is doing good thanks! 😎👍🏼
Skinny won't be visiting Germany any time soon, that's for sure 🤣
😂😂
I think when the camera overheats you should stop working.
I agree! 😊👍🏼
😂😂😂 thank you🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Skinny is hilarious! Can you send some of that sunshine northwards?
He really is…. I’ll see what I can do with the sunshine 👍🏼
