My back screams “No!” every time you move a stone 😂😂😂
LOL ... Hope your back is god now .. ;) G
You two are funny. I always have a laugh when watching you.
Thank you ... we do have fun filming as well .. I think it's very important Gxxx
How kind to mow your neighbor's land! Many hands make light work! Mutual help is the way to go!
for sure :) She is very lovely lady it's a pleasure to help her !!!
Take care, remember the tortoise and the hare. You are making amazing progress. 😊
Thank you Sue :)
I agree with you, neighbors need to help each other because when we are in trouble they are the first to help us because family or friends are far from us
True :) And we are so lucky to have good neighbours !!! very Lucky :) Gxxx
I know your planting was delayed by all the rain, but your garden is really lush and productive.
Thank you !!! I am very happy with it as well !!! :) Specially strawberries .. they are so nice and a lot of them Gxxx
A rest needed A, that is very hard work, your palace will wait for you💖
:) Thank you
Good morning happy Sunday my friends. Nice to see you getting your patio worked on. Lots of hard work. Be safe and have a good day.❤🦋🎉💙☺👍
Thank you :) today is very hot ... can't really do anything ... so relaxing it is !!! G
I just love watching the videos you two put out, you always have fun together and laugh a lot, it's obvious you love each other very much, it's great to see as well as your generous attitude towards friends and neighbours, kindness makes the world go round. Well done both of you xxx
Ahhh Thank you Pauline :) What a lovely comment !!! I do love to have a laugh its so much better when you laugh glad Andrius joins inn sometimes as well ;) Gxxx
Hard work but you’re getting there. Don’t overdo it you will get there eventually. Just nice to see you progress every week 😊😊
Thank you Donald :)
I am really enjoying your renovation. I really admire your fortitude. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖 PS you show what hard work will accomplish!
Thank you Jackie !!! very nice of you to say that ... We are lucky that we live here and we can do this !!! see you on the next one Gxxx
Been watching you guys since the beginning, let me tell you.... All this hard work is very noticeable how much in great shape the both of you are becoming!
Thank you !!! :) We will have to continuo working then ;) and thank you for being with us crazy people for so long !!! Gxxx
your lovely stone house is taking shape with all your hard work and that little tractor must be a god send
🚜♥
Oh yes Tractor is a life saver !!!! His name is Indie !!! G
Andrius, you and Gi have such beautiful hearts. And, that is a big reason why I love your channel. Just be mindful of your backs, give lots of rest when needed. And, after all that crappy weather, it looks as if you will have a beautiful bounty, and that makes me happy for you!❤
Thank you so much Linda :) Very lovely message .. we taking time off from work as need to fix our truck .. everything happens for a reason ;) Gxxx
Step by step, day by day it's coming together. Living the dream may not be easy but the rewards cannot be beaten. Great update guys. 👍🏼
Thank you so much Owen !!! We still loving it and that's the main thing I think :) Thank you for watching us !!! G xxx
@@portugalitisIt's so enjoyable watching your progress and your day to day life. Not only that but filming for your CZcams channel as well on top of everything else.
The life is a dream of mine. 👍🏼😉
@@owenp65 Kudos !!! G
Wow, that’s some heavy lifting! My goodness you have shifted a huge amount of stone! I should think your collective backs are screaming “no more” I agree with your philosophy of helping a neighbour, it’s nice to help if you can. You’re right, it does make people smile when they see what you’ve done! ❤
Thank you :) He had few days rest he is ok now :) Pinkie promise Gxxx
Your little Westie is burning a lot of calories, too. Running and barking at the tractor every time it moves is hard work! Ha!
he was working extra hard on this episode ... bless him ;) Gxxx
You both work so hard. I really admire you both. It will all pay off in the long run. Hello from Alabama, USA.
Hello To Alabama !!!! Thank you very much Gloria for your kind message :) hugs G
Well done moving those big rocks
Thank you !!!! :) G
In the Netherlands we say; better a good neighbour than a far friend. Meaning: when someone is in your living area they can give more help. And vice versa.
Hello :) Very good saying !!! we are blessed with good neighbours very lucky !!!
So many huge bolders to move, but the patio will be wonderful.
I forgot to say last time, what beautiful new chickens you have added to the flock. They all seem to be getting along.
Guffy makes me laugh. He has so much fun with the tractor. We look forward to seeing him so happy.
The kittens are such mischief makers and fun to watch, too.
Take good care of each other and the animals. Try to work in the cool mornings or late evening. No sense getting heat stroke. Or having your back give out.
Sending good thoughts for cool weather ~ 💖🤗Lacy, Mike & Hamish🐾
PS. Very thoughtful to mow your neighbors grass. You two are good and kind.
Thank you Lacy :) its been hot these two days so we just in a shade and not doing a lot to be honest !!! but from tomorrow will be cooler !!!! Gxxx
@@portugalitis
Perhaps during the right time of the year, purchasing a few trees for shading different areas, like near the greenhouse, the chicken enclosure, the house, and other outdoor areas. It's just an idea and it can't hurt to have more shade during the summer.
☺ XOXO ~ Lacy
Definitely ... olives provides the best shade ... by the green house and chickens we got stone oaks so they provide plenty shade !!! that's why we done chicken coop there we though in advance ;) G
@@portugalitis
You are always thinking to do good for the animals. That's one reason we love you guys. You take very good care of all the animals. XOXO ~ Lacy
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andris and Gina, good work 👍😁 maybe your battery needs some destilladed water it vaporized out of there with the Hot weather.
hello :) Not in this case .. we will have to go to mechanics to fix it ....
Gracious me.. that’s a very very heavy work load with those boulders you are using.. A, take care.. there are no winners with bad backs.
G, the garden is beautiful as usual .. hard work obviously pays off..
Sending love 💕 💕
Thank you Lorraine you kind as always !!! Andrius is good .. he just needed some attention .. ;) G xxx
Take care both!!!!❤❤
Hey Katia !!!! We are good .. just a bit hot outside so hiding in the caravan as it's a bit cooler here next to open windows ... Hope all good with you as well !!! G xxx

@@portugalitis hi we watch Life by Living and Frankie Off Grid. We have just reached when you have started on the property before you “got the
Keys”!!
Ahh we also watched them Good choice ;)
Ohh exciting times to come then ;) it was only beginning when we started making videos .. now I hope they are better quality ... But the jokes and banter stayed the same ;)
Other good vlogs from Portugal are, Indigo Escape, Portugal Project, The Origin. I’m practically living in Portugal at the moment! 🤣

Well done you two your house is going to be amazing. Thank you for sharing 😊.
Thank you very much !!! What a lovely thing to say !!! G xx thank you for watching us

Excellent. Your rest was planned by 🌟Heaven 😉.
Definitely just had to pay loads of money for that rest LOL !!!! someone planned a bit different as I would want it ;) G
I was worried about your back the whole time. So sorry to know that it is hurting. I have had many back surgeries and wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Fortunately I have the best surgeon in GA, he gave me my life back. Please take care with those heavy boulders! I want to see this completed!!!😊
Thank you Tricia .. Andrius wasn't in that big pain as he expressed him self ;) I think he wanted a bit attention (between me and you ;) )... All good and we taking time off as now we need to fix truck :) so time off from heavy work it is !!! Gxxx

I am just starting to watch the video but had to leave a comment right away. Your house looks wonderful from the outside. I cannot believe how your kitchen addition looks like it was always there. Can't wait to watch the video.
Thank you very much !!!! I have to admit That drone video does look good !!! I bet it will look so good when we will put the roof on ... which we need to wait for few months I bet .. but still worth the wait !! Thank you for your lovely comment and for watching us Gxxx
Thank you again for your nice video. I'm impressed by your hard work. Hope you'll be ok.
Thank you so much for your kind message !!! :) We are very happy we doing it !! G
Great video guys look after your back Andrius you won't be able to do anything if you do your back in. G the garden is coming along very nicely . Couldn't you ask your neighbour to give you a hand seeing as you cut her grass 😂😂 take care ❤
Andrius spend 2 days in a hammock I think he will be fully recovered Julian !!! ;) Hope you well !!! G
It looks good
Thank you :)

Your plants are so healthy looking. You really know how to grow good plants.
My dad had a talent for growing but I haven’t inherited his skill. I grow veggies but they never seem to do as well.😅
Your home is beginning to look really pretty with its stone work.
Ahh Thank you very much :) Maybe I am just lucky ;) G xxx
awesome effort 👏👏👏
Thank you Judy :) Gxx
💜
Thank you :) hope u well !!!
Suddenly I think of " Highland Games....
Because of the stones?
My back hurts me now too. Have some healing days to recover.
Thank you !!! he is rested and back to his top shape ... ready to work again ;) G xxx
Doing a great job things are looking good
Thank you :) G xxx
Just finished watching your video, please take care of your backs, I have had 3 back surgeries & as I am. 77 I wish I had been more careful when I was younger, stretch those muscles before you begin that helps just a little advice from an old farm lady, lol. The kitten was so cute attacking the tarp. Wishing you both a productive blessed week. Your place is looking great.
Hello Patricia !!! I think we finished with HUGE boulders for now .. will be easier from now on .. but he rested for few days so all good !!! Gizma is naughty .. but I love her so much .. she is my favourite :) G xxx
Good work Andruis
Please take care
because very large rocks
Thank you :)
My body is screaming Noooooo!
I was cheering him up ;) |common !!! you can do it !!! Just joking !!! it's all good !! we took time to rest
G, look at your garden produce coming along. I looked at your first video’ s and the ones now and you look
so healthy
Ahh thank you !!! it's all that hard work ... and fresh air !!! Thank you G xxx
Wow Andrius, nice in the future she will help you again. Greate job ,lots of blood and sweat and hope no tears. You eat a elephant bite by bite. Remember that
Thank you :) definitely no Tears ;)
Wow, you peaches are already huge. Ours don't get enough sun so we'll be lucky if they get to be the size of golfballs by end of July/begin of August.
It's great that you went to remow your neighbor's grass. With all the rain you keep getting, it could soon look like it hadn't been cut. Good on you.
Love the garden views, uodates, harvesting 😍.
Incredible work with those stones. If you take a few days to let your muscles knit back together, that's smart! Stay healthy, lovely couple 😉
Hello Ruth !!!! And did you noticed no flip flops this time ;) We took time off as today we had to take truck to mechanic and will go back tomorrow to get it back !!! so definitely break for A back ;) hope you well xxx G
I DID notice and should've said so before! I am so proud of you for protecting your important toes and delicate eyes and precious hands. 🤗🥰😍
If you also ever wear a mask (not bandana) like N95 or respirator to protect your lungs from taking in fine particles* that stick to the linings of the membranes of your lungs and make your 50s, 60s, 70s etc hellish to breathe, you are gonna win my prize for most consistent & correct use of PPE despite the blazing portuguese summer heat. Srsly, i will think of an appropriate prize you will love and bring it to you whenever i am blessed to visit Centro!
*Fine particles from:
rock busting
dumping gravel
using jackhammer
strimming or mowing
dust storms from Sahara, chickens
smoke from fires, cigarettes🧐
If he could, Nick of Project Portugal said he would've never smoked and would've always masked at work during his building career.
Only mentioning this with admiration for you after damaging my own lungs from mold i didn't know was hiding behind the toilet tank in my former apartment bc the bathroom had no vent + years of previous tenants showering without opening the window and the ijjit landlord never addressing the visible mildew which i killed whenever i found any 🤬.
@@portugalitis Just now i put on my mom's headset to protect my hearing bc we have workmen replacing our doors. They are building, sawing, hammering, operating all manner of really loud machinery!
🛎💥BU💤💥🥴👂🏽✈🚢🚀
I locked Bunny in my room and i'm surecshe's hiding in the deepest darkest hardest to reach part of my closet 😿.
Ruth!!! I think I get the strong idea that we should use masks .... hmmmm :) Thank you for caring !!!! Kudos xxxx
Ouch ... I hope work is finished !!!! and and Bunny are out !! safe and unharmed
Great progress! But do be careful with your back, Andris: I speak from experience!
Thank you :) He took few day's rest so all is good !!! G
great video guys, these rocks are so heavy, but they make a very solide foundation for the patio. hope you can rest a little bit from all the hard work
Hey Tina !!! we had to rest because we need to fix our truck .. and it's very hot so we got time off now ;) Hope you well G xxx
@@portugalitis i am okay here, also the weather is finaly better here, we have the sun out.
Yey !!!! Sun !!! Summer is on the cards ;)
💚
Thank you :) as always !!! G xx
❤😊😊
Thank you ;) G
All your hard work is being rewarded. I enjoy your videos a great deal. A Canadian fan.
Thank you very much and hello to Canada :) G
Great progress happening, you need to slow down a bit with that heavy work. Your whole homestead will come together eventually
Thank you Elizabeth :) Very kind of you .. but no rest for Andrius .. I need my home !!! (just joking of course !!!! we taking time off .. it's nearly 40 degrees last two days .. very hot :) Gxxx
When you use the waterlevel make sure the plugs are off otherwise it wont work!
I noticed that .. silly us forgot to take the plugs ... we took it when we measured the patio level ;)
Ifeel tired by looking at you carrying the big stones , take care with your back .
Will do ;) Thank you
Façam cuidado com a vossa saúde essas pedras são muito pesadas.Parabéns pelo vosso esforço ❤.
Obrigada :) G xxx
😊👋
Thank you :)
Them stones more like boulders
A bit ;) We just so many of them and need to use the big ones ...
So happy to see you guys building your dream patio!. Fingers crossed you will manage to fix the tractor fast! Look after yourselves too.
Thank you Andriau !! tractor is fine .. it's a problem with our truck ... :)
Kai dirbate su tokiais sunkiais akmenimis, būtų labai gerai užsidėti spec.diržą, yra tokie specialūs, saugantys stuburą.
Labukas :) Andriui nieko neuzdesi jis uzsispyres kaip ozys ... :) :) Bet uzteko keliu dienu pailseti ir viskas vel gerai !!! Aciu kad rupinates ir ziurit musu kanala :) Giedre
Maybe use a fulcrum and save your back.😅
Thank god we got tractor it helps a lot !!! :) G xxx
Its very nice,Its not Possible to open a door fro the Maine house to the kitchen?
we chosen not to do that .. just because we would lose a lot of wall space .. and I want to keep kitchen separate Gxxx
You need to save your backs. Use leverage.
and flip flops ;) G xxx
Hello- why don’t you use a back brace for support? It would help a great deal
Andrius thinks he can do it without it ... he won't listen to anyone at least this time flip flows wasn't worn ... ;) G
How that people there put this multi klg stones in the walls of your house ??big question ......... i saw the strengh you and your wife use to do the crazy task .........well hug from LISBON
They are from other planet ;) it's crazy what they did .. but I seen with my own eyes and they used they hands ... big respect !!!! Thank you for watching us !!! G xxx
I don’t think G can afford to loose 20 kgs
for sure !!! who will all the hard work then ;) G xxxx
Kai dirbate su tokiais sunkiais akmenimis, reikėtų užsidėti spec. diržą, kuris saugoja stuburą.
:)
Hernias are painful😮
oh he doesn't have one .. he is ok .. recovered already !!! ;) G
If you plug the ends of your water level it won't work..
:) Someone else said that as well .. silly us done a mistake ... or we just wanted to see if you guys will notice what we did :) :) :) G xxx
Where ara you from? I am new in your channel
Are you from Scottland?
Hello Susana :) We are from Lithuania but we lived in UK for nearly 19 years ... We loved Scotland and we used to go to Highlands few times a year .. Giedre xx
@@portugalitisThank you
I know you love your dog , but ons day he's going to end up under the tractor wheels, STOP HIS ACTIONS WHILE HES STILL ALIVE. Plus, why is the stone work to the left hand side of the kitchen door recessed?.
Ps love the vids, a c much respect 🙏
Unfortunately we can't stop him unless we would chain him and we don't want to do it .. we just need to be very careful and Andrius is watching him ..will need to check regarding the stones ... G :) Thank you for watching !!!
A poorly battery..........................;-(
We took car to garage this morning they have to change generator ... as it's kaput as the mechanic said ... Gxxx
Stupid has no limits.
tell me about it ... just from one comment you can spot this
Va fan lasse3555 😠👎Vilken skit kommentar! Helt onödigt👎Andreu och Gi kämpar och sliter. De lever för sitt lilla ställe. Vi är många som följer dem med glädje. De är allt glada och positiva i sina videos. Kämpa på Andreu och Gi jag och många fler tycker ni gör ett jättebra arbete Jag ser fram emot er nästa video Soliga hälsningar från er nya vän Bengt 🇸🇪
