So glad to hear you’re both feeling a bit better! That flu sure takes it out of you, doesn’t it Carissa? The driveway looks wonderful! Bless Uncle Nick for coming to help you with it! No more football for you Iwan! I love watching Frankie, Diogo, the cats and chickens frolicking around you as you work. They are adorable.Take care and I hope you regain your strength quickly now! ❤️🇨🇦

Pausing at 11:26. I think because of your sloping driveway, where you are digging now, you should put metal grates there, at grid, to collect water away, so rain doesn't wash away the rest of the new driveway extension. Not sure I'm using correct terminology. But I hope you understand what I mean. Like an across the driveway area, that is grated to catch water and keep it away from drive way bottom? I don't know😂 Ask Nick what he thinks!

Waste of time, effort and money on this stone drive. Simple gravel road would be great and looks great. With so many other things to do! Wait to see this drive in 5 years

It would be great if could rig one of those collapsible shade thingies (technical term) that you can easily move over the area you are working on. I see other comments suggesting a pick axe - good idea! Stay well. 😍🇨🇦

You all talk about sunscreen, what about the dust that Nick and anyone close by are sucking in from what the saw is creating. At least a dust mask or water for the saw is needed 😱

I don’t know where you are - I am in Ontario, Canada - and our olive oil prices have skyrocketed as well. The same size/brand I use was approximately $16 Cdn but one year later is $20. 😍🇨🇦

Really satisfying video. You both accomplish so much in such little time. And I always love the gardening bit. Fava Beans are my favorite. And I love how you enhance your meal with beautiful edible flowers. Thank you for sharing with us again. Oh and the bathroom segment was really interesting and helpful. I have heard about this particulate toilet and good to know it actually is impressive. Ciao from Abruzzo, Italy.

Drive way will be beautiful! . How many times can you break ribs before they won’t heal any more?? You will be full of arthritis with all these breaks! Find another sport. Lad you are feeling better for now!! Take better care cause living on the farm is very physical!

Bravo the drive entrance is very nice. Such hard task. Yikes. Your property is special. Your hard work has turned into a place to refuge. Very pretty. Iwan you're hardest working man. How great to be able to eat what you grow and drink from your own well and vine. Your videos are very relaxing. T. Y. P.S. I drink garlic tea with lemon and honey when I'm sick. Your lemon tree will be nice for multiple uses.
