Our Story:
We are Carissa, Iwan & Frankie the sausage dog, and in 2020 decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month we were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call home. We picked up Albi, Joao and Simao the cats along the way, as well as Diogo the podengo and a flock of chickens.
Subscribe to follow our project as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

If you put two rows of building blocks under the shed walls, it will be much easier to stand up. You can bolt the shed to the blocks.

@pamela5568 Год назад

Yes, I agree that's good for when it's moved to a permanent location. Under the door's I'd suggest a wooden panel hinged at the bottom so they can lay it down for wheeling things in and out, or leave it up and step over it.

@Kelleena1on1 Год назад

Great idea :-)

@mld8 Год назад

What about the doors, unless you want a big step in 😂

@janmuirhead8976 Год назад

Yes, raising it up with the cement blocks would be a great idea. Also, when you are in the shed looking for something or doing something you won't feel so crowded when you're in there.

@mardimccabe6207 Год назад

I agree. I have a tin shed like this and I put it onto a base of cinder blocks and it is very comfortable to move around and find things and such. Yes, I have to step over the threshold at the door. But my carts and things are light enough to easily lift over.

@strawberries1411 Год назад

You can use those tomatoe thieves to make more tomatoeplants just put them in water to let them root and plant

@mezanian Год назад

We can all be like Martijn 😊 he has a rare gift. Life happens when you're busy making plans😅

@corinevink5164 Год назад

Yes, Martijn Doolaard is a legend. His videos are so impressive. Good luck from Corine, The Netherlands.

@leeworley5160 Год назад

Loved Dioggo and Alby just standing together with their backs to us. Like they were hsving a private conversation about mommy and sheds. 😂

@richardteychenne3950 Год назад

Perseverance pays, I don't think I could manage to stay so calm 😅😁

@anitawoods7174 Год назад

Have you anchored the shed to the slabs so it doesn´t end up on your neighbours land when a storm hits?

@katherineparsons9585 Год назад

I love watching Martin Doorlard, specially liked when his Mum and Dad’s visits, where she was machine sewing a curtain out on the mountain side, also last weeks was a goodie with all his brothers and father helping out.. 😊

@carlosboa3505 Год назад

Hi ,another way to build shed ,would have built up off the ground, that way one side of the shed wouldn't be below ground level.when it rains you will find a lot of water runs underneath the shed.,,,,,,,,just an idea.

@theshedrepairguy2413 Год назад

Shed looks great. Put some silicon on the outside of the roof fixings, they have a tendency to leak

@F-J. Год назад

If you built a wall of breeze blocks and cemented the top you could have built the shed on it and added as much height as you wanted. ❤ you can still lift the shed to the side while you build the wall. One trade off is you would have to step into the shed but its a good trade of for height and comfort. ❤

@moonhunter9993 Год назад

good idea

@kathleencarter308 Год назад

Exactly what I was thinking ,

@moniquevelasco20 Год назад

Martin’s videos are amazing. He definitely does things slow but everything that he’s building will last forever r many years. The shed looks so good, maybe if you put a row in f blocks under it will make it higher and also you can make a catching water system. Great job guys. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪

@jimwalker76 Год назад

Iwan is hilarious. He gave his lady the well-deserved title, Project Manager. 😂 Great job on the build.

@Feeoryne Год назад

YES! and when he says "super solid"!!! LMAO!!!

@deehalpern8988 Год назад

I love Martjin’s channel too. So relaxing. Congratulations on the shed. What a feat of patience and perseverance. Well done.

@carollee2078 Год назад

The same foundation you used on your sleeping cabin would be the best for keeping the water from running into and under the shed. The ground level is too high around the shed and unfortunately will wash out your new laid pavers set in sand.

@JasDarc Год назад

Sadly you may learn to hate that shed. The low door is a head smacker and it will be an oven inside, best thing i ever did was dismantle mine and scrap it.

@roberttamcken5817 Год назад

I have exactly the same shed. The only issue I’ve had is condensation, which made all my tools wet, so I insulated it in the end and it solved it perfectly.

@sheilajoseph9953 Год назад

Hi Iwan and Clarissa, I've been binge watching your videos to catch up and almost there. I'm loving your channel, you both work so well together to make your farm a beautiful homestead. Love all your rescue pets, they are adorable ❤

@FrankieOffGrid Год назад

Thanks so much Sheila! So glad you enjoy them!

@ruthconstantino6861 Год назад

Great work,, congrats, and thanks to Alicia and Baz (🤔?) for the gift of the shed. Loved when Albi first came over to help level, er, roll in the sand. She and Dioggo were excellent assistants. Glad to see you take good breaks while it was too hot. Amazing how you're already harvesting at the start of May 💖. Yes, in your soft green clothing you both look like professional & friendly shed builders, yup 👍🏼. 🐈 "Must inspect under this tarp...". Rock on, young folks.

@ovunctezer7435 Год назад

I am really a fan of this young humble couple. So relaxing to watch you. Two points on this green shed, 1)Your floor is lower than grass/earth level, have you considered any risk of water entering the area? All what you will place on the ground may get spoiled. At least use silicone around the steel bottom frame? 2)during strong winds, this structure may sway considerably cause it's so light. To prevent this you may place plastic 1.5liter bottles full of water on the roof (better with 5 liter bottles, right above the steel girders underneath).

@karateana7593 Год назад

You two work so well together putting up that shed, a sign of a really good relationship. I think everyone should do such a project together before they get married just to see if they're compatible.

@dweamy1 Год назад

When ever I have to put something together, I always check that all the items listed are in the box, at least then I know if something is missing before starting the arduous task of assembling. Shed looks amazing and I bet you're glad you took your time doing it 🙂

@CindyVine Год назад

That shed needs an engineering degree to erect it! Took 3 men one full day with lots of arguing to get mine up!

@EastLondonKiwi Год назад

Well done with the shed. Re the flagstones. As you have laid those on loose sand, you'll need a retaining edge (concreate, timber frame, piled dirt) to keep the sand of the edge stones drifting out and causing those stones to become loose and rock or tip. Re the height issue, Use breeze blocks to lift the shed if you need more height (refer to St Nick who understand block work for what would be best in your case). Re the shower boiler, if you have more water pressure than the boiler can manage, fit a valve (tap) inline to the water feed to the boiler, then just regulate the pressure (turn the tap offish) until the water entering the boiler is at the correct pressure it can handle. I hope that helps, D

@goodtogo3 Год назад

no cat tee on Harriets shop. you made the shed look easy!

@raymonde4272 Год назад

Congratulations on getting the shed built without and arguments or major injuries. Seems like the dogs, enjoy a good siesta on the sofa together.

@dariuszszu3648 Год назад

Hi Carrissa not sure how you have connected pump and water heater but perhaps simple valve on the pipe would solve the problem with to high pressure, cheers D

@barbaranielsen2888 Год назад

Congratulations, project manager! Great Job! No auguments is a Miricle. I am 5'10" also, well maybe a little less now that I am nearly 70! Both of you continue to impress me with your ingenuity and williness to sacrifice all the unnecessary fluff and wasteful trappings of most peoples lives! To consentrate on what is truly most important! Hugs from Costa Rica!

@saintsi6997 Год назад

if you had build a 2 foot wall around the base and put the shed on top it would have been high enough for you to walk in.

@karenball6334 Год назад

Lovely looking courgette.

@dariuszszu3648 Год назад

Hi one more - you can still lift all shade up (on bricks or on wood construction or on light metal frames available on all hardwares stores for building walls with plasterboards , only doors need to be extended. cheers D

@michellewaterman4551 Год назад

Thank you for the drawing of Spain. I love it. Xx

@lw7240 Год назад

Hi we cemented the frame into the ground so that it don’t take off in high winds lol it’s not going nowhere ❤ we also put battery operated lights down the centre of roof so we can see at night.

@beverleyspugsandhomestead. Год назад

Make a block base to raise it up two rows should do it.

@KovietUnionDefector Год назад

Sounds like you have a nightingale in your garden ;)

@sgrvtl7183 Год назад

Oh My! my son and his wife (about your age) put together a shed with 'hundreds' of screws.....both were exasperated over it but the wife kept pushing to get it done! Congratulations on completion!!

@FrankieOffGrid Год назад

@Winnie-hq5hs Год назад

@jamesrivis620 Год назад

Maybe you could put some sealed bags of sand on the top to help keep the shed in a gale. Might need to be tied from one side to the other.😊

@feralgal46 Год назад

SUGGESTION TO MAKE DIGGING MUCH EASIER...EVEN FOR A WOMAN!! Years ago I worked for a plant nursery where hey grew ornamental shrubs. They had the guys who dug them up sharpen their shovel edges with a file to make a knife like edges. I was even able to dig easily. Of course you always lay your shovel blade down and also hang them with the blade toward the wall as they are very sharp.

@mardimccabe6207 Год назад

I also watch Martijn Doolaard's channel to relax before bedtime! But I also watch your channel for relaxation also! I'm sure all the actual work for you all is very strenuous, but the videos we watch of you - with soft music and your soft narration voices along with the lovely stretches of the sky, flowers, pups, kitties, is so relaxing for us watching it!

@gorgeoux Год назад

Exactly this 💯

@nickytanton107 Год назад

Oooh just checking out Martinjin now.

@Sandras12374 Год назад

Great job on the shed! We assembled a similar one and it is still standing strong after 2 years, and you did a better (more patient) job than us. You need to gather some St. John's Wort and make an infused oil. I saw in a video from last year that you have some around and now it should be flowering. It is a powerful wound healing oil, perfect for those cuts. It is also a strong antidepressant but that's another subject. Keep it up, you are doing such an amazing job! ❤️

@judithtaylormayo Год назад

you can rigup a frame with mosquito met and shovel the sand through it to seperate the sand from the debri

@louistorcello3525 Год назад

Most do it yourselves shed are all the same no matter size or design. I hope you consider bolting it down to the concrete pavers for added stability in high winds. Can I suggest you invest in a GPS tracking collar attachment for Diogo, you will know his exact location 24/7

@mariearce8021 Год назад

Aren't those supposed to be built above ground level? Maybe I'm wrong.

@leeworley5160 Год назад

The kitties r going to love that roof. And possibly nite time critters. Brings back memories of childhood.

@asc3184 Год назад

The shed looks neat but it is metal. This means it will be an oven in summer and cold as hell in winter. Reminds me of a pow camp punishment box because it is not tall enough to stand inside. Hope whatever u store inside is not perishable.

@michelebushnik2874 Год назад

The shed looks amazing! Well done for sure! I admire your patience and the mention of Martijn Doolaard❤ I knew we were kindred spirits! I adore his art and careful work on his gorgeous rebuild. I hope you dont experience the wind storms he gets there. Bravo to you both! So impressed!

@vickiwalker3486 Год назад

I’ve enjoyed this video for the second time! I watch all yours at least twice! I grew up in San Diego before it was terribly built up and your land reminds me so much of my grandparents and aunt’s and others’ places. Ilove your animals, pets and the wild birdsong!

@marybates2201 Год назад

Well that blew me away finding out tomatoes 🍅 are part of the nightshade family. Great job on the "hobit hut" aka the shed. I am very pleased on both counts of a divorce lawyer or emergency servicesnot being needed.😂 I love that yop you were wesring at the end.Carissa, it was so bright and cheery. At some point i zm sure Iwan will build another xlimbing wall. See you on the next video. Thank you x

@alexalves4865 Год назад

Tomato cuttings root very easily in compost. Pot up and you'll have more plants to give you a crop later in the season!

@mariadange06 Год назад

Not boring, you conquered building a DIY shed (!), un fait accompli. Perhaps put tent type ground hooks for when it's windy as it's quite flimsy. Martijn a master of perfection in all he does, his camera night shots are amazing too.

@regtitch5200 Год назад

Any other video of two people assembling a shed. I would have either turned off or fast forward but your video as like all of your videos, are very relaxing and therapeutic. Especially with the sound of a nightingale singing away in the background and dogs and cats keeping an eye on you as you work. 😊

@timallen6025 8 месяцев назад

Ready, sheddy, go! Sorted. I like some form of base ring frame myself, either block, timber, to keep rust and water away from the metal sides..

@AleeshaSattva 3 месяца назад

watching you work with the sand... it was soooo meditative!

@grandmasstories3418 Год назад

I've seen several of those that have flown with strong winds (with several big dents/"smashes" in them) so, you might want to anchor it really well, somehow.....

@karenhenderson2624 7 месяцев назад

We have a similar shed. What a ball-buster to install! The good news - after 1 year, it's held together really well. Enjoy yours!

@johncox2714 5 месяцев назад

I have built 5 houses in Australia and each house had one of those tin sheds they all had one thing in common, they leaked. I had to do mods on them all. I put shelves which where attaché to the walls which gave them more stability. When the shelves were hull of heavy stuff. Best wishes from Old Johnno 94years

@joycecollins1515 Год назад

I am so proud of you and I bet your uncle Nick will be also. Great job.

Congratulations on getting the shed finished IKEA is a nightmare to build sometimes. Seems the cat and dogs are enjoying themselves.❤️❤️❤️

@artycles Год назад

Well done, can you raise the height with breeze blocks?

@FrankieOffGrid Год назад

That is something we’d thought too ☺️ maybe if we keep banging our heads that we would then build a small breezblock wall and bolt the shed onto that

@arjanvogel6444 Год назад

Yes make the whole with cement maybe it's also can keep the water out and maybe gutters then you can get some more water when it rains.

@annadaurie2435 Год назад

Shed looks fantastic Love how the animals love being around you two when you are working. It is like they are checking the work out. Lol

@cynthiashepherd3833 Год назад

Well done! I like your thought process on a somewhat quick fix to the storage dilemma . The inevitable complication of living on site while renovating is the shifting of stuff…good job. Just love watching your family thrive & move forward ( & back🙂).

@MariaBeales 9 месяцев назад

You are both so talented

@juanitakauffman6336 Год назад

Could you build a block wall and set the shed on it. You could anchor the shed to the wall. It will be handy for storage at ant height.

@daffs0 Год назад

Loved the video Shed looks great like someone else said do a few bricks and place shed on top, you could do that when it has its final resting place D is like a kangaroo when he was running through the grass he is so funny 😂🤣 Thank you for sharing 😁

@mafish7962 Год назад

@sandybinbedford5512 Год назад

Brilliant work ! Right down to the final screw

@davidstoddard9160 Год назад

You could install cement blocks on the bottom and raise the entire shed to a better height and that would actually be easy to move the shed later also if necessary .and you would be much happier to have that.

@FrankieOffGrid Год назад

We have been thinking about that, but I’m not too sure what we would do about the doorway as it has a metal slider for the doors to sit on 🤔

@meglange3595 Год назад

The shed may not be a marvel of engineering but, as you said, it's a temporary solution and will serve the purpose. Also, if need be, you can always cross brace the walls on the inside for stability. I just love watching all the dog and kitty antics. So adorable. Exciting things ahead 😊👍. Have a lovely week!! 🥰🌿

@jayneward6649 Год назад

We put one of those sheds up a few years back, they sure are a pain putting it together, but when it's done it's nice to see all your hard work, ours was 9ft by 11ft, it took ages to do, we'll done on all your hard work 👏👏😁😁🌿🌼🌿

@kristinmcclary7194 Год назад

When I saw you mid video as you were building, I did notice that your were taller than the shed and you were going to have to duck under every time you go in. Hope it works well for you!

@stewartrogers494 Год назад

PERHAPS a layer of those blocks under the walls of your new shed ( block used to raise shed to" titian" lower screw bolts temporary )would raise it too the hight that you both could get in without lowering or bumping heads, just a thought, great shed build .........we the north ......S

I loved the longer video, the new music, and the mention of Martijn -- what did you think when you were both building chicken coops? It's not every day that one's favourite channels link up somehow. There's always a great vibe to your work but this episode was next level ❤ I felt I was there with you and we were not one bit rushed 👌👏👍

@FrankieOffGrid Год назад

Oh your comment has made my day, thank you so much ☺️ his coop is absolutely gorgeous! I hope when we are done working on the finishing touches ours will be half as beautiful

@gorgeoux Год назад

You're very welcome! I hoped I could return a small bit of the joy and hope you give me so much more often. No doubt your chicken coop will be all it can be! For my final trick, perhaps look up @Maisondebase. A gentle, artistic, chilled couple living in Southern Italy. In their previous life chapter they built a beautiful house in Portugal with their bare hands, and got good enough at winemaking that they had taken over other people's vineyards. I watch their irregular videos for the same reason I watch yours: joy and hope. En-joy! ❤
