#10 STONE HOUSE RENOVATION building kitchen wall from scratch GARDEN UPDATE 

Andrius and Gierdra, for people who have not built stone walls before, you are doing a great job. The wall is starting to look very good, and the string is set to help you see where the stones need to fit. That is going to be a great place for the kitchen! Such hard work and a real donkey would be helpful!

Another hard-working few days. I watch a few utube channels but yours is by far the best. I not only watch the progress on your land and have a laugh at the same time. Just remember when you start to get on each others nerves. Life is to short for bickering. Go outside and look at what you both have achieved . Until the next time. Look after each other.❤❤

Goodness Gina you are a one woman machine! Hauling stones and rocks, mixing lime crete, laying stones and lime crete! You are a woman on a mission! Your seedlings are coming on leaps and bounds, is there nothing you can’t do! Love the idea of a “cucumber tunnel”. Everything is growing away at an amazing rate! ❤

Your hard work will pay off, but sometimes the frustration can be painful. I’m so glad you are such good friends and can brush off the hard moments. Many couples can’t. My goodness, I can’t wait to see how much you can produce in the garden tunnels. Brilliant idea for using the eucalyptus logs. Sending you both lots of love, Guffy and the kittens too. 🐓🐓

A day in the life of a pioneering Portugal couple. 'G' and Andrius you're making that ruin into a palace. Every stone in just the right place and the garden is developing into a feast of food. Sending hugs & love ~ Lacy, Mike & Hamish🤗💕🐾

Your garden is Already producing delicious looking radishes. Building your kitchen is extremely hard work. You’re making good progress.

5 stones a video is fine by me!!

You are both delightfully entertaining and so very hard working. I really enjoy your videos. I think you should make however many videos per week you are comfortable making. I personally don't find it boring watching five stones being laid every few days. You are showing your reality and I appreciate it. :)))

You two just make me laugh and I love it. Your antics and happy partnership is what is missing in a lot of relationships. Good work on the KITCHEN !!!

❤ Perfect partnership! Both equally hard working, 😂 a productive day but still time to have a giggle! Well done my lovelies

The beginning of wall looks good! You’re right it’s hard work. One video is probably easier, but what ever works for you. Love seeing your ideas for garden and your seedlings. Are really coming along!

I don't mind a bit how slow the progress is, I just love seeing you two. But fair enough how often you decide to post videos. You do whatever you feel is best. Thanks for sharing anyway. Love again from Australia ❤

Duffy always gives me a heart attack when he runs around barking at the tractor….and when you were moving the big stones to put in the back of the tractor…… good grief!! 😂 I know you are carful and I’m sure the camera angle makes it look worse then what it is 😂❤️🇨🇦

Everything will turn out perfectly with Guffy on quality control.

Love your work ethic. I can’t wait to see the finished project, and to see you cooking.like the way you interact with each other, and your sense of humour.keep up the good work.

Lots of hard work! I love seeing your progress and your plants are coming along. Your idea for the shaded garden is a good plan. I’m sure the plants will thrive with some protection from the summer sun. ❤❤

Genius idea with the tripod. Very productive day in the gym for you two and by the way that donkey is a very very hard working one. Look after her. You will need her for all the projects on the property. Garden will look beautiful this summer

Great video. I love it when you include clips of the animals and the garden/scenery. 😍😍

Whether you do one or two a week we really love them....love the interaction between the two of you and love your cooking videos...thank you

Very entertaining guys, loved your impression of a stubborn mule lol, was expecting you to kick at any moment lol. Great to see you have fun along the way. 👍😂❤

You're going to be built like Pavel Dailidko, by the time the walls are built, my favourite Mma fighter lol.💪❤

It is obviously very hard work you are making progress no matter it is good for your health if you take your time you will get there in the end.

Watching the cat cling to the branch I was willing her to succeed. The wall is taking shape, it will be slow and hard but when finished you will be proud and confident in the building. Your personalities come across well in the videos. I could watch two videos of stone laying but it must be what is right for you, Best wishes😂

Maybe think about running you pipes for electric and water. Before you get further along with your wall. It will be easier now .

You two are super cute and funny,i enjoy watching you work and banter 😊 you are both so determined and strong 👏👏👏 thank you for sharing your journey with us ❤

What an acrobatic cat I love the clips of her

These giant rocks are realy slowing down the job, wonder how the Portugese build these walls in a straight line. love you guys.

Great work! Love the update on your seedlings. Garden will definitely be beautiful again this summer. The kitchen is coming along nicely. So relaxing hearing your rooster crow. 🐓😊❤

Well done you two! And supervisor Guffy of course!

The driving the Donkey along was epic ! its also possibly why woman live longer than men ?

I might have to call the SPCA on that ass, about the way he treats his Jenny.😂 Honestly, the life you lead now suits you both, you look much fitter. Your tomatoes are growing wonderfully also, G.

Muscle men at work! Doing great guys ❤👍

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys good work 👌 we want to see what you are doing Andris please keep it on 2 a week 💪👏👏👏.

Please let us see all of the kitchen building, I love the way you find solutions as they are required. My wife won’t let me comment on the car washing in a bikini plan 😱😂😂

That old chair in the garden where your cat was lounging reminds me of a little potty chair we used as children. 😜

Great start for the kitchen wall. Yes it is going slowly, but that is back-breaking work!! Your seedlings and plants are healthy and plentiful. Wishing A and G a bountiful harvest this year!! Jim from southeast Texas

You both are going to need a weekend spa after all that heavy 🏋️ lifting...😢 but great progress on the kitchen wall 👍💯

Working together seems like fun even though it is hard work..❤️🙏

Start of the kitchen wall looks great. Hard work but will be worth it in the end.👍🙌

👍👍👍👍👍👍mask wearing is good, don’t forget drain exit for sink etc. thought stone wall.

The rebar is a good addition.

G, Andrus sounds like my husband. lol 😂 and I’m like 🤦🏻‍♀️ oh my goodness this man.

Coming on well with G's help...............;-)

Take care you two, that's very hard work !!!!! See you in the next one.❤❤🇬🇷 🇬🇷

I am amazed at how much you have already done! Such back breaking work…a labor of love. It will be the heart of your home. God bless the work of your hands.

You are doing really well. Good idea about the Hothouse for your tomatoes etc. You will get more work done on the wall if you only did one video a week, it's up to you were are all happy watching the progress xxxx

Well done re using limecrete, let your stones breathe 👏

Seeing the tripods in action, I'm sure it's not far from how it must've been done in the past. I'm sure that it was probably another couple building their dream many years ago.👍

Great job on the tripods. Ingenious

Looks pretty professional to me! Looks sturdy! 🎉

Thank you again for your nice video. It's hard work and I hope you won't hurt yourselves. 👍

Thanks fornsharing another video. Building that kitchen reminds me of building a medieval castle. They used similar techniques, especially the tripods, to lift and lay large stones as u guys are doing. I get anxious everytime i see Guffy go wild around the tractor, and when u use the tractor to move stones around. I really get anxious about that. I look forward to seeing ur dream kitchen finished. Renewed good wishes to you guys!

You are a good team. You have to have a laugh it's good as what you are doing is hard stressful work 🙂

Hard work, but you are making really good progress! Happy with whatever video schedule works best for you.

I enjoy your videos. A lot of hard work ahead..

I will definitely watch every video you put out - love to see the progress! G your green thumb is amazing and would love to see more garden videos.

Smagu matyt kylančią sieną 😎🤓👍💪

However you decide to post videos is fine with me. Building a stone wall from scratch is no easy task! But, from where I'm sitting, your wall looks excellent. Just take care of your backs!❤

Love watching you guys. You are so entertaining 😅

Amazing good work it Will be very nice 😊

Maybe one video about the building and another for the garden? I´m always looking forward to your videos.

5 stones per video is great. Keep sending two videos please, and continue the good work you are doing.

Molim vas da i dalje izbacujete dva videa nedeljno. Svaki vas video je pravo uživanje. Nikad dosad nisam videla kako se zida kameni zid. Puno pozdrava

Cracking job, it's differently coming along ❤😊

Hello from Florida, USA. I may have missed it but, where are the water and sewage pipes coming from or going to? It seems they should be underneath the floor, yet I don't see any holes through the wall you're building! You two are fantastic!! The fact you are taking Portuguese lessons shows your desire to be one with the people whose country you have moved to! You are the only channel I have seen that is doing this. One video a week is fine if it gives you both a time to rest!! Thank you for the enjoyment you bring every week.

Backbreaking work but bloody well done to you both 👏

Keep at it you are getting there. Onwards and upwards keep the faith well done.😊😊😅😅

You are a great team and work well together 😊

Your lunch looked amazing!

Well done guys it is looking really good. ❤

hi guys,yes would of been a mistake to use blocks,easyer with blocks but not good looking,great job guys see you in next vid.

You are doing great remember Rome wasn’t built in a day. ❤

❤❤❤❤❤

Прекрасная рассада огурцов. Через неделю надо будет уже высаживать в открытый грунт.

Well done! You 2 are not scared of hard work!❤

looking forward to the carwashing videos

👌👍looking good

Muito boa tarde senhor Andrew e Gi gosto muito do seu canal sao um casal muito divertidos 😂😂😂mas acho trabalho muito pesado por causa das pedras cuidado com as costas. Bom fim de semana meus amigos e para a semana cá fico à espera de mais um vidio. Que Deus os abençoe infinitamente ❤❤

Once a week is fine... gives you time to do the work. Edite at a later stage to make it look like one cracking wall build😅

Great video. Love that you intersperse the building with the gardening, views and animals. Your chickens are very beautiful. The wall looks great.❤

Amiga trabajas muy fuerte. Pense que la cocina la iban ampliar mas. Saludos y bendiciones.❤❤

Looking good!

Great work

Очень сильная женщина

É pena fazerem um trabalho tão pesado para obter um espaço tão pequeno 😕 deviam criar uma cozinha maior, vocês mereciam! Mas mesmo assim vai ficar bonita. Gina é uma super mulher! Estão de parabéns... construções em pedra não é nada fácil! 😘

I'm a big fan of traditional buildings but equally it's ok to combine the super modern with traditional, in my opinion. i think that does appear to be how the Portugese are doing it now. I've been curious as to why the one you are working on now is the kitchen rather than the bathroom, as it's good to have a bathroom next to your sleeping quarters, particularly as you get older. Your proposed blockwork building where the pool is might make a good kitchen? In any case, tough work - it's hard moving stones and laying them (I live in a stone cottage in the UK - the blocks are so heavy and building with them a real skill. You may want to check out Portugal from Scratch who works with natural materials.

Hi. I was trying to picture the insIde of your kitchen once the walls are done. Will you have a counter? And what type of cooking appliance? And were you going to put in a fridge? Do you have enough room? Just curious. Your plans for the garden will be good. The summer sun has always been challenging. Enjoy your week and stay well.

hard job

Please wet the stones before cementing so it adheres to the stone.

You are doing a great job but kitchen looks so small with the double wall that you have built. Why did you not go further back. You are a great team ❤

Hey guys once a week is okay

Great video guys you really need to get a donkey the one in the video needs retiring 😂😂 G your seedlings have shot up in a week did the tripod work ? Take care guys ❤

I do like seeing two videos, but I know it's a lot of work. That wall is looking really good. I'm so afraid you are going to hurt your back though. I'm curious as to what kind of floor you are going to put in I'm guessing Wood but not sure. I am also wondering if you are going to cut a door in that big wall into the house from the kitchen. I don't remember if you already told us that. Keep up the good work but be careful.

First lovely people.

The Egyptians could take leaf out of your book how your dealing with the rocks 🔨📙🍃⛏️🌎🌏🏡

I am, honestly, puzzled when you, already have that awesome STIHL stone cutting machine, why, for goodness sake don't bring all the stones to the cubes which would be easier to move around use less lime-sand mix and finally give you incredible and pleasing final appearance. You may use two or three cutting discs an probably 5 days to bring'em all to the size and shape but I think, would pay off at the end

We love watching you, but one video per week is plenty. You are working so hard - you have to have time to edit, etc. - and time to relax!

Hi , I have been following you guys from the beginning because I myself wanted to do the same move the comings year. I wanted learn from you. Now I am ready. could you give me how and where to start. I am planning to live there for good . Buying farm with house on it.. Where should I start ?

For me it is a big mistake to build with only stone, firstly it takes a long time and secondly it is not earthquake safe In my country Greece we have a lot of stone and build a lot with stone, but 90% of the time stone is only used inside or outside as decoration, you can use cement blocks for example, you build very quickly. Or like in my country so that you get a certificate House 12 R is earthquake safe, a complete frame made of concrete with iron, and only the holes are filled with thermal bricks, and then decorated with natural stone. We have hundreds of versions of stone, yellow, red, green, white marble, gray, white brown with small holes and small crystals, black stone, and hundreds of others, which are used as decoration, in the old years, a lot of sandstone was used, mainly in the villages, because they were easy to process, no longer in demand, they fell apart change with time And my friend, what you're doing is lifting such big stones, you'll suffer later, I also built a house and did everything myself, now I'm suffering with my back and my legs, be careful

I wonder why would you use limecrete instead of traditional cement sand mix??
