- Guess who's back, back again...... sorry for such a long time between releases guys, we've been snowed under with 2 children's birthday parties and with many other things cropping up.
In this episode, Jordan gets to work on restoring those old wooden windows on the annex, Lewis gives canning/preserving a go for the very first time, we finally complete the floor in the annex wet room, and we begin renovating what will one day become the lounge, exposing a beautiful brick feature wall!
Thank you for supporting us. We are so grateful for all of you.
Please leave us some comments below as always guys!

Love watching your journey. Only found you a few days ago but have binged watched and now am ready for more. When do you put new episodes on please?
Thanks so much for binging us haha. Have you seen the new episode 🥰. The next one won't be for a couple of weeks now.
Discovered your channel 2 days ago and one hour ago I finished watching all episodes and couldn’t wait to see newest updates and… here you come ! 🤣 love you guys and big congratulations on all hard work you are doing! My husband and I bought house in Bulgaria too and we will move there soon (from London)
The episodes where they were getting to Bulgaria were really entertaining.
Thanks for your comment! Glad you've enjoyed watching us. There's plenty more to come. We're just in England at the moment after attending a friend's wedding. Once we return back to Bulgaria, we'll get the next episode out 😊
Hi Lewis I would drilled all old cement up and lay new as you probably end patching it all up anyway in future
For upstairs floors that are settled mud and uneven beams. Buy some bags of polystyrene balls and add to the concrete. It will be very light. It's like honeycomb. Good sound and insulation properties. But the more you try and level it, the more the polystyrene rises to the surface. But works a treat. Can't hear the other half shouting at me from upstairs 😂
"Poem Credit: Wirten by Lewis Vye"...Have to say I am very impressed Lewis. I initially thought it was taken from a poet. And beautifully read by Jordan!
Aww so glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoyed writing it, and I really loved writing poems when I was younger. Jordans got a lovely reading voice, so it was only right we worked together ❤
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria I wrote poems when I was younger as well. Being a father of two made your lovely poem easy to relate to. I'm Australian, but I should get my wife to record some of mine as she's a Geordie and that would be great ha ha. Maybe you could sneak off down to the river with a notepad sometimes to put some more of this crazy journey you 4 are on into words :)
Keep the good work guys
Only just found you guy the last two days and on the last episode already absolutely amazing wish you all the best amazing family
Thank you so much for the donation, and thanks even more for taking the time out of your life to watch us, you're amazing ❤️
I love your channel. I'm so glad to see a new vid. Jordan's laugh 😂 ❤
Her laugh is iconic hey 😅. Thanks for watching ❤
You guys are doing such a great job, keep it traditional as much as you can. 😅👏
You are doing well let's not forget that the Bulgarian language is one of the hardest-to-learn languages. It is considered the most difficult second language to learn due to its complex grammar and extensive vocabulary. Справяш се добре.Браво.
Might be a good idea to put some small pieces of rebar in those places your patching to give extra strength
Mate I think you are in Bulgaria for 2 years now and the amount of words you know is equal of what I learn before I go abroad for a week. You need to expand your vocabulary. Put sticky note on everything in your home with its name in Bulgarian. On the table, on the fridge, on the bed, on the wardrobe, on the cupboard, on the bedside lamp, on the curtain, on the window, on the teacup - on everything. And when you open the refrigerator, say out loud the word for refrigerator in Bulgarian. And do so by being next to each of the items with a sticky note. Put different fruits and veggies on the table and smack a sticky note on each every single one of them. Make a sticky note madness. I think that in this way, if the words are constantly in front of your eyes, it will be easier for you to learn. Even if you get the gender of the words wrong, no one will care once they see you're making a real effort. Just learn as many words as you can.
Many foreigners who come to Bulgaria make the mistake of not learning the language. They isolate themselves, do not communicate with anyone, do not make friendships, they just work and fix their house, but after 4-5 years they return to their countries because mentally they cannot stand it. Humans are social creatures and we need to communicate. Even if it's just to complain about how hot it is or that the tomato is sick and ask the neighbor for advice.
Honestly, if I sit there and tell you every bulgarian word, I know who's sticking around for the youtube episode? We have to be realistic with what we share, durations, timings etc. We have conversations with locals, it's no problem, we're not struggling and it's absolutely fine. We can communicate great. This episode isn't a Bulgarian lesson for people it's just awnsering a question withing 3 minutes bud 😊.
Another awesome episode! You guys are legends and you're doing such a brilliant job at everything you turn your hands to and you do it together with a smile. Keep it up, I can't wait for the next episode!
Put a aspirator in the window to take out the steam,damp and smells.from Justin in Bulgaria
Well done xx
Been waiting ages for next update
Yehaaaa
Haven’t watched this one yet but so pleased
Hi guys. Love your channel. I'm very interested in the septic tank setup and how much that will cost to setup including connecting to the toilet /shower. What's the approx costs?
Tileing looks good. I may have built a littel step out of cement between the two walls entering the shower about 4 inches or so high laid the tiles to the left then tiled top and sides of littel step then all the tiles would have been flush other wise looks good.
Yeah man looking back, that's my only regret. I'll probably go back and redo it. But for now, it'll do 😂.
So good to see you all again, X
Coming along nicely
When is.your next episode can't wait
Hey! Should be within the next couple of days ❤
Thanks
You have to remember Lewis that the floors are uneven in old properties
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've never canned before, only pickled (and jam and chutney)....did you put water in as well as vinegar and salt?
Hi from a Bulgarian village boy in Sofia! One day I’ll do the same as you! :)
What village are you guys in? Love your progress!
Just an idea BUT how about bottles in the hole to the wet room instead of glass tiles?
That's could be really cool actually! I'll run that by Jordan!
why not use self levelling base??
Surely an outside wall is the one that needs insulation ?
Yeah, they should put the exposed brick feature on an interior wall.
We have to re-render the entire house, and here they insulate from the outside, not the inside, so we will apply foam boards to the outside of the house then render over it. 😀
How do you manage financially tho
Ventilation
Can not find you on utube anymore where have you gone HELP !
We're still on youtube. This episode is our latest release 😊
Are you only doing your video once a month Jordan!?@@frombournemouthtobulgaria
In the bathroom
Is your bedroom floor suffering from mundic, which is a form of concrete cancer?
Are those video's one year old ? Because the timer on youre camera says 2023
Yes, they're always about a year behind 😊 we have a year's worth of recorded footage which means we're never searching for footage to scramble together to try and make a youtube episode. Means we always have stuff coming up.
The first season was a bit slow but towards the end and start of season 2 is so boring the editing is terrible and not only do we have to watch so many adverts from utube now every 5 minutes your plugging something pls dont plug things or if u do keep it short as possible
You know the best thing about CZcams bud...... You don't have to watch it if you think it's boring 👍😊
@johncrabtree7709 What did you expect? The Kardashians? It's the journey of 4 people moving to rural Bulgaria and renovating a property, not to Las Vegas to earn 100k playing poker, to pay off a debt to a Russian mobster...
I'm sure most of us, watching/supporting this couple and their content appreciate the realness of it all and the very fact that the content is unscripted.
We are enjoying the channel. Perhaps if you didn't have the camera pointed at you all the time we could see what you are doing or seeing. There are so many jobs to be done that people don't see, keep going.
