Block Paved Driveways, Pruning Olives and Shredding waste for re-cycling 193 

Thank you for your help as always 💛💛💛 so happy with how the driveway is coming together and it would’ve definitely been more wonky without your help !!

You two are helping a lovely community to coalesce and grow. It’s lovely to watch ☺️🔅

I love the way you help others and build community!

I just can’t say it enough, I love the way you are doing your videos now. And of course I wanted to tell you how wonderful I think you are Nick for the way you help others in your community. Love you both immensely.

You guys are amazing! The unselfish way you introduce other you-tubers are just so unique! I do thank you for inspiration & the how-to's for olive preservation you've done in your videos. Lots of luck. Your farm is really shaping up very nicely.

Your a fantastic person always helping others that moved over I congratulate you on projecting happiness on others

Cindy looks like she’s done with being pregnant! Looking forward to meeting the babies.

Nick, please help those sweet kids weatherproof their doors!! It must be so cold for them. 😢

Lol. I just have to look back at your first videos when Andrea barely talked. Her enthusiastic smile is so nice to see now. And good to see what happened to Frankie's driveway !!

Nick, u r a Jack of all trades! A fount of knowledge! A blessing to anyone who comes across you! You are so generous with your time. I love how you all get together for work B‘s and go to each others’ locations. What a great sense of community. You both are amazing! Andrea is always smiling! Take care of yourselves and each other!❤️🙏🏼👋🏻🇨🇦🦫🫎🫶🏼

OOOO cant wait for baby piggies. Well done Cindy (and your hubby lol) You are so helpful to your friends and neighbours. So nice to see.

We enjoyed it.

Great video! So much happening! Those piglets are adorable, I thought they were Cindy’s. I’m glad you chip the prunings instead of burning them. Having a work share with friends makes the work easier and is way more fun. Good choice of music.

Like your video you are such a caring sharing couple Thank you for filming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Awesome, thanks so much Nick!!!!!! I can have hot water again!

Yall did it again! Great video! Love the job at Frankie's!. Andrea has such a green thumb, wish I did. Your talents Nick are amazing! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣🍍🤗

Yay! Less than 2k to go before your channel is 20k strong. I love that. You are both such hard workers and your content is always so interesting. You deserve every bit of support you get. ❤❣❤

Just found you from Frankie Off Grid... and their driveway makeover.... 😊what an achiever you both are... Looking forward to next one! Blessings ❤

Wonderful video. It was lovely to watch Andrea’s care in preparing Cindy’s bed and to listen to your gardening chat 🤍 Beautiful driveway for F.O.G. The background music was absolutely beautiful 🎼

Well done! Good job on everything!

My 1st thought on Cindy's pump is whether there might be a pinhole in the diaphragm. Could explain the build up of pressure & then the sudden drop as hole widens & releases pressure. It's been a while since I've worked on pumps....

Loving the music. Can’t wait to see the piglets.

Another cracking video. You are both so inspiring and it’s such a joy to see you in your fellow RU-vidrs videos too. Show us all what a wonderful community you are all building over in beautiful Portugal. I’m working all the ours I can to save up and come over there myself…….🙏 one day -soon I hope 😂.

Y'all keep the Ending just like it is! It's cute!!! ❤❤

Looks like a chipper is a must for off grid living in Portugal so much benefit for your land to use.. just love how you all help each other .. what a community you have .. you make us all jealous in UK ❤

Love your videos! So interesting! Good neighbors!

I love the care you take with everything on the farm, and the special care you give the animals, whether they are pets or future food. It has to feel great to eat food, animals and vegetables, that you took such good care of. Work outdoors and just turn around and enjoy the place and the company. Hugs 🤗

Can’t wait to see your piglets! 🐷❤

That was a huge amount of work. Enjoyed it !

Love how you cover so many things in your videos and keep us upgraded on progress on different projects. Foggies’s driveway is looking really good! I can taste those olives from here. Yum!😍🇨🇦

I've been following "Frankie Off Grid" for a few months now (aka "the Foggies"), and having seen you working with them on their projects, and a few glimpses on their channel where they were helping you with yours, I thought I would mosey on down to your own channel, to see what else you are working on as well. Best of both worlds!! 😄

I love the music on the background. Its like Irish music. The almost finished path/driveway became very nice Nick.

Loved this video, great collaborations 🎉

It's fantastic your always doing such great stuff

great video guys, and what a lot of things to do, you two will never be bored. greetings from Holland

I am quickly falling in love with central Portugal and these wonderful people!!!

Drive way going to look fab xx

Hi. With Cindy's water pump surging, it could be that the rubber bladder in the accumulator tank has lost air pressure. It could even have a hole in it. Great video 👍

Hi nick im a fridge engineer in manchester just a quick one you are doubling the capacity of that fridge the compressor will get very hot trying to cool that room and may not even do it i would at least put a fan on the condensor up the back to help cool the refrigerant other wise the compressor is gonna burn out sharpish mate as for cindys water i think the pressure tank diaphragm may be faulty and thats why the pressure switch is cycling

oh so looking forward to seeing the piglets come on Cindy, all looking great thank you

HELLO future neighbors crossing fingers all goes well with property purchase. Am so excited for you to be doing all of these projects as spring approaches. I have to live vicariously through you till I can get there...FUN FUN FUN

Happy Friday folks, good to see the foggies and the way you help each other. Fantastic community. 😊 have a great week. 😊

Fabulous vid! Always so many interesting things happening on the farm. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

Luv ya guys 🍷🍷🦘🇦🇺

Hi, all 👋🏼😊 Great to see everyone! Look at you, Ang, a natural solo vlogger when need be and holding your own with educational content. Looks like February or March could be a good time to volunteer and help break down prunings. I daydreamed about turning the pear trimmings into kindling and mini logs for fires, just the job for an OCD gal with electric shears 😄. Wonderful to see Iwan and Carissa over to help with olive pruning. The ladies never tire, and it's always cool to see Iwan with his tree climbing sneakers working tree interiors and trimming down height. You all made heaps of fine mulch. Your cold room will be a wonder as it impresses already and it's not even finished! The FOGgies drive way looks so smart. It's wonderful Carissa and Iwan are ready to take on finishing it on their own when their block delivery arrives. Great content ❤ Btw Nick, you always look younger when your hair is the length it us in this vlog.

Great mixture of content again guys 😊

Nice variety shown on the video, thanks for sharing 😊😊

Always a pleasure to view and an amazing workaholic! Andrea also shares her food Knowhows with all of us👍

You always seem to be on your knees, Nick. Great video.

The team work is great it looks like a fun job.❤❤❤❤

I’ve just come across your videos via you helping with Frankie’s driveway. Such a great job & you’re such a hard worker! I love your animals & the way you 2 do things! Central Victoria Australia 🇦🇺

Oh gosh my excitement about Cindy momma pig having piglets has me over the moon!!! Can't wait to see how she does and the babies, and she looks ready to go quick, and uncomfortable walking, I bet you get piglets this week!❤ Hard work in the garden Andrea! And clearing the area! I can't wait to plant! Under snow here😂😭😂. Clarissa and Ewan driveway looking wonderful Nick! Good team work there, and then back at your place for olive pruning! Loved the video parts where all 4 of you were working together chipping that beautiful Olive greenery into mulch! So good for any soil! Andrea raking it up in the back , Nick loading, Clarissa and Ewan handing off the bounty, what a beautiful team❤❤❤The cold room is coming along fast. As for the Cindy Vine water pump thing, I've seen another video of water pressure surging like that, (from not being run in awhile) and they fixed it by disconnecting the outlet, letting it run for awhile to get rid of air pockets and reconnecting it.

So, what you're saying is it's business as usual? The driveway looks wonderful! Nice job! I keep bags as well. It's recycling at its best. Actually, it's just cheap of me! Lol Judging by the amount of chipping you're doing, you might want to get out some of those bags! Have a great week! Blessed Be!

Hello Check the tire valve see if water comes out or if the pressure is gone from the air side quick fix add air see what it does maybe 28psi Water means puncture, no air means nothing pushing back on the water just the tank walls 👍keep it up great catching up every week

Great work as usual. The Foggies drive looks lovely.

Lovely job that shredder.

How is Max doing? Would love to see more of Max and his new sleeping quarters ❤

Hello guys! Like to watch video you have doing and all that work is to be and already done! As for the problem with pump, l can tell you next: at first you must check the nippel at the back side of tank for staying under pressure - if you have a leaking water while pushing a pin, than for shore membrane inside is damaged. Replace it, pump air about 1.1.-1.8(see on shield) and it done. Second: maybe a rusty hole of tank, so search for it; Third: maybe a damaged check vavle and water flow down thought pump. I think -the first. Wish a good time. Sorry for mistake

I love your videos. They are full of fun and interest. Mind you, you and Andrea could simply read the Telephone Directory aloud ( remember those?) and I would be happy. It's the West Country accent, of course.

there is a strong rubber baloon inside the red tank,,, it needs to be AIR pressurised at 1,5 bar ..... the gap Between 1,5 bar (air) and 3 bar (water) is the buffer that makes a steady flow of water ,,, as it is now , either someone tuck the air of the baloon,,, or the baloon poped ,,,, or there is more then 3 bar of pressure inside the baloon..

Another video which is all about gardening says it actually is a good idea to keep the weeds since they do return goodies to the ground and it is always better to have the earth covered it does require as much watering, than exposed. As far as I am concerned this type of gardening has a couple of things going for it, one you dont have to de weed, and two it looks allot nicer than all that exposed earth that dries up at a faster rate.

Hey Nick and Andrea, cool video as usual, 👍. Just my 5 cents on the unstable water pressure on Cindys pump. At the pressure vessel, on the opposite side of the outlet/switch there should be a nipple hidden where you can add air pressure to the outside of the bag. This air actualy stabilises the pressure. Should the bag inside be ripped that one needs replacing also .. as this could provide similar effects on the water pressure. Hope it helps, 👍

Well done, guys. Great video.

T shirt ordered.😀👍

The fluctuations on water pressure might be because there is no air pressure on the red container bellow the water pump. With the pump disconnected from power , use an air filler ( like the one you use for your car tire ) and check if there is enough air pressure on the red container.

Another great day with Nick, Andrea and others. Does the mating of a KuneKune pig with a wild boar change the taste of the meat? Blessings to all.❤

Have a blessed week you lovely two❤❤

Great job on the cold room. I could really use a cold room. 😊

You may already know this but I feel the need to explain refrigeration, the compressor and the coils are for the freezer then the fan blows the cold air from the freezer to the refrigerator. Cindy's water pressure pump needs a new limit switch and those filters should be changed every 3 to 6 months.

Didn’t win yet the lottery, soon enough I’ll be winning it we’ll be neighbours!😂 All the best mate, lovely couple you both are!

Do you actually have time off? Absolutely loved the video xxxx❤❤❤❤

45:14 you need to check expansion vessel for air.

Great homesteading - well done

Well done guys, great episode

Loving the “red power tool” porn on the cold room floor. It looked better BEFORE you tidied it up. Can’t wait to see Cindy’s new arrivals any day soon.

Andrea and Nick an amazing video as always!!!I am curious to know does Nick ever say "I am doing nothing today and tomorrow "????. Take care guys!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷

Vocês são um casal muito simpáticos e muito abençoados.

I put rosemary garlic and pickled spice in with the brime and chilies

You guys are so beautiful

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys 😍 good work guys, maybe the water in to the sistem by Cindy is not inuf and I think it should be 2.5 bar, thanks for the longer vid.

It looks like the pump is hunting for fluid, the supply may not getting enough flow.

Fabulous work as always 😊

The diaphragm maybe failed on the pressure vessel

need an Uncle Nick!!!!

😎🍀

The pump resembles a back flow or anti siphon valve leaking. The diaphragm in the switch looks to be leaking.

Give young man same wine he love wine

Hi Nick, In regards to the issue with the water pump. You should check the air pressure inside the vessel. If there is not air then it will be full with water only and it will not work as expected

Hi, is that the chipper from Brico I just saw recently?

Enjoyed Andrea‘s work in the garden. What are the plans for the cold room? Storage for certain butceonder what you will store?

Are you happy with that wood chipper? What is the brand and what is the price of it? Where to buy it? Or did you hire it once and a while? Greetings from the Netherlands (yet). Soon I will also live in Portugal in the Guarda region. :):):)

Another great video. What ever happened to the other large pig...Wilbur...?

🥰😘

В красном баке лопнула резиновая груша, поэтому насос всё время включается и выключается

DELIGHTED to see Ange's contribution - keep it up, girl! How come piggies can't get out but wild boar can get in to sow their wild oats? Are randy locals more athletic or is Cindy-The-Pig more attractive than any other piggy-lady in the region meaning that they try harder? ("Cindy-The-Sow" to the more scientific amongst us) Just for info, every person that has seen Diogo in the flesh or in video reverentially refers to Him as "Diogo The Magnificent", a god amongst animals - see Egyptian 4k yr old glyphs for proof.

Hi guys lovely video. Can I just ask a dumb question. I see a very smart driveway growing at the Foggies 👍 But why did you / they choose concrete blocks rather than calsada? Is it speed of laying, cost, looks, works better on the slope?

Hi guys, just a quicky! How come you never bought the proper 3", 4", or 6" refridgeration panels? There so much easier to build and install.

What do you do with the piglets.. do you sell them creating a farm based business ❤

What happened to the other pigs you guys had? I watched all your videos and don't remember seeing or hearing where they went.
