THE REALITY OF LIVING OFF GRID | ROOFING OUR HOME 

Well done guy's for moving all the roof panels one by one,as you said Rome wasn't built in a day. Enjoy your evening ❤

You kids are doing great! The fact that you two aren't afraid of hard work and your attitudes about the homestead will make it shine for sure! Keep it up and stay safe both of you. Cheers!!

Mr Mrs. Matrimony looks good on you. Dan it's obvious how you love Laura. Treat her like a queen. She's a rare gem.

I was looking forward to a new video. Nice to see everything is alright and that you guys are doing well. Love from the Netherlands 👊💖

However unpleasant it was to have to move those panels, it just goes to show how resourceful both you and Dan are and that you overcome any obstacle. Any moment I was thinking Dan would stand on a panel and pretend he was riding a wave on the ocean.😆 Great work you guys!😊

Be happy you will have a beautiful home when it’s all done.. and it will get done as long as you stay positive.. I’m cheering for you guys

Nearly another box you can tick off the list 🏠😁

Well done guys, you work so hard, but it will all be worth it. xx

Well done you guys. Patience and persistence paid off in the end. When your home is complete, you will look back at these times and chuckle. It will be so worth the hard work when you finish your beautiful home. Good luck guys.

So proud of you 2❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow, that was a job and a half getting those roof panels to where you need them. Wellmdone to you both ya most of been wrecked after that. Like the tile effect on them. It will look amazing when it's up . Take your time, and be safe

Awesome, guys!😁You're finally getting the roof you deserve. You gotta hurry up though, because "Summer" is coming early and it's gonna be a scorcher, as you well know. That roof is gonna do wonders for your life and... You gotta start taking Portuguese lessons or you're gonna be screwed all the time.😵‍💫

Well done guys slow and steady always is the best xx❤❤

Well done on moving all the roof panels. 💪🏻👍🏻 The clips of the journey from where the truck dropped them off to the house looked tricky, lots of twists & turns and a climb on slippery ground.

Well done on all your roof panel shifting, enjoy your sunset ❤❤❤❤

Well done both of you . Be good to see the roof on but slow and sure. I’ve enjoyed seeing the progress you make . See you soon .❤xx

Well done! I can’t wait to see it on the barn xx

How refreshing to find a couple who use what they’ve got to do what needs doing … and in the end you both know here is yet another example of succeeding in spite of the slow pace, which is actually the normal pace out on the homestead … so proud of you both ! Durban SA🇿🇦

What you all need it a trailer it would make doing work around the land a lot easier.

Hello Guys 👍 it's so awesome to see you guys again🎉🎉❤

Watching the roof going in was like watching paint dry.An all weather road would be a good idea.Noreen Australia 🦘

Haha at least Laura got some driving practice in. Whenever I had to move long things via trucktor I put in a rectangular frame back by tailgate bolted into trucktor with tailgate closed, and the height of cab roof. If you could make it out of metal tubinggreat but lumber works too. Keep on Keeping On.

Don’t get upset you’re doing a sterling job keep going.😊

Nice, tiles, insulation and ceiling all in one package!

Well done guys ! Team work makes the dream work (and all that jazz !). 👍❤️

Lol loving the unloading Music 😆Jesting aside you guys did a great job working as a team moving those roof sections, feet up and enjoy a nice beverage after a good days hard work , your home is going to look great once they are in place 👍

Well done guys, hard work pays off!! Thank you for another video 😊

Well done you two 👏👏👏❤

Hello Laura and Dan my sweet friends! I am so sorry. I am so late to post a comment, lately, we don't get to chat with each other. I hope this comment finds you well and blessed. Wow that was so much work along with getting the camera setup for those amazing shots. Phew! The roof pieces look beautiful from what I can see. I am happy you were able to find a way to communicate with the driver. :-) So excited for the next video! The sunset was beautiful and magical. I love the way it shown on your faces. Two angels for sure. So many prayers for you both: strength, peace, joy, and blessings. God bless, love in Christ, ~John

You might consider building a wooden rack to fit in the truck bed & maybe onto the cab's roof to carry things like that & lumber & osb sheets. It might help.

Well done guys, great job done. Team work works well. Lovely sunset. Take care and stay safe. See you on the next one. X

Guys, it's always a pleasure to see you too working together! 😅 I can help with the Portuguese language for free if you guys wanna learn! God bless ya

That was a good days work, and those composite roof panels are definitely the best thing for the job. Well done guy's 🤘👍

You really highlighted how difficult it can be to communicate when you don't know the language, but you two managed well👏 Your bulldog tenacity f or getting the laborious job of moving the roof sheets was admirable. It is that attitude that will ensure the success of your endeavours.😊

Hard work well done Laura and Dan. Maybe consider making a road up to the house to enable delivery lorries to travel up. Even a few tons on grit. 💚

Getting everything in place to ensure the roof is completed to the standards that you are both looking for takes time, don’t rush it and enjoy this chapter of the homesteads development. ‘Keep the faith” and continue to look after each other, looking forward to the next step.

Great job guys, one thing I would advise is to lash the roof panels to the ground. The last thing you want is your new roof flying off!

Well done. It doesn’t matter how you do it or how long it takes you, it just that you make it happen. 😄

Man, I could almost feel the warmth from the lovely pinky/orange sunset at the end.. Lovely stuff.

Thank you for sharing, the roof project will be a big accomplishment.

I'm so proud of y'all. You are doing such a great job on that place. May God be with you throughout your journey😊

Panels look good, can't wait to see them installed. Cheers!

Well done, good job moving the roof panels, i know all you do is alot of hard work, but it will all be worth it, one day you can look back at all you have done, have a laugh, be proud of yourselves.🙏❤️👏👏👏👏👏👏💃🕺

You got it, One Day at a time! It will all get done...eventually. It goes on like that forever too. Jobs get put aside for a garden, or a fence to protect the garden, it doesn't stop, but thank goodness that it doesn't!

Hard work but when you sit under that tree and think back you will be so satisfied.

Your work is wonderful! Congratulations for your passion and patience! Have you considered raising the walls with two or three rows of bricks in order to gain height for your attic? I saw this on the Life by Living channel and it seems like a really good idea. Good luck in your work!

Man I wish I was there only if it was to make your dinner for you guys after such a hard day's work. Don't give up guy's You are an amazing couple and a great team. The hard work will pay off in the end. You have come so far already and we absolutely love watching you beat every challenge throne at you. 🎉 Can't wait for to see the roof go up. Hopefully with some help! Call Uncle Nick ❤😊

love your vlog, it's my favourite renovation.. Wife and I lived in a caravan for four years while we converted our barn. Long job but so worth it. However, I'm a bit confused sometimes with your play list. hoping i can now keep up with the both. Jim. UK.

Ooohh anther step closer to being wind and water tight in the barn. keep safe

You two are quite the pair lol one panel at a time stay cheerie stay safe.❤

Big job moving roof panels but they are good having the insulation as well We live in Australia and have used similar on our patio and found them very easy to use

Yaay!! Good work!! Looking forward to seeing the new roof going on..

Doing a Great Job On The House. Is Looking Very Nice.

Great work Dan and Laura, it was a huge day but well worth it, each roofing panel arrived safe and you can add this to the list of accomplishments you've achieved, time to relax and enjoy the night. 💙❤

Wonderful seeing you two with the evening sun and a big smile in your faces, just nice to watch you driving the roof panels over to the barn it was relaxing to watch you doing this, working together in such a nice way, it was just a simple thing to do but it always matters when two people working together being gentle to each other, you are made for each other, yeeha from the Chilcotin Mountains

Hi you two, that was really fun to watch, to the castle 😂 Hope you're doing alright there. You have some exciting times ahead placing the roof and with Spring finally arriving it will be fun t work outside. Would of been easier to have him drive up the hill 🙃 Have a good one!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤

Doing a great job guys, all the hard work now will be worth it, getting out the UK is such a smart move.❤

This is gonna look great!

You two work so hard. Your like homestead superheroes💥 Pow , knock out this and💥bam knock out that! 💯Many appreciate all the things you post so they can learn what it takes to do what you do. Other, like me just want you to thrive. Thank You and your awesome❤

If u have not already consider researching swales to protect roads from washing out. Don’t know how much, if any, of the land in either side of the road but if u do swales can be used to direct the water and to capture it to increase infiltration before the water hits the road

Hoping the roof build goes well. 👍👍👍

I admire your hard working, you guys will go far in life . 💪

Hi 👋, Laura and Dan , Great to see you are not sitting 🪑 around drinking piña coladas, 🍹🍹 😂😂, and watching 👀 the sunset 🌅, 😂😂. It might be worth seeing if you can find a axle with subframe, And see whether you can get your friend with the welding gear, to make up some type of A-frame hitch of the front of it, I couldn’t quite see whether you have got a tow ball, or not, If you can find something out of a old truck, you might better find that you will be able to bring up a load on the back that might be able to help you get materials up a bit easier, Those roof panels look good, especially coming with already insulated , something not sure whether you’ve already ordered them but obviously you need a ridge capping, and probably end as well, it looks like a L-shaped, And did you remember that you’re going to probably need some special screws with ceiling washes, In October/ November, in 2022 I got struck by hailstones in my property, I’ve been told that I’ve got to pay €11,700 towards the removal of the asbestos roof, and I believe that my ex is trying to prevent the work from being done, I’ve just wasted 20 years of my life, putting my heart and soul into two properties and a relationship, where I ended up being scammed, Now even have a problem with what I thought was friends in my region I’ve now turned against me, very rarely talk or acknowledge me, and I have since found out that the insurance company that I’m with through my bank is as much use as wet toilet paper 😂, Oh, the joys of being young like you too , in some respect, not a care in the world just looking after yourselves, out on a great adventure, I’ll wish you both all the success for the future future , please be careful when you go to install the roof panels, ❤to you both. From somewhere in France,

Wow, Laura look how far you have come from that lady who basically cooked for Dan and sometimes other help that he had. Very impressive progress Laura!😊

Fantastic 👏👏 It’s coming together ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Well done. Great team. ❤❤❤

Great job guys nice steady driving from laura safe and sound at the top of the land its going to look great ❤

Hard working couple.

I remember in one of your early episodes, Dan was all about keeping fit. I don't think he needs the gym exercises now. Very enjoyable episode.

well done both of you working hard but not overdoing it, great methodology, and with a smile keep it up wishing you all the best

Well done!

That was a tiring job moving the roof sheets to the house but you did it. Next time you need a translator you can fly me from Cape Town to Portugal I can speak English and Portuguese. well done guys.

No your right as usual Laura Rome was not built in a week, as first they had to build the sewrage channels and construct simple living accomodation for the workers and the hangers on (Females). But think of the muscles you have built in that work-out??

Ya está el techo aquí, ahora solo falta ponerlo 😋💪

Brilliant video as always

That's going to be a great roof!

With that Mitsubishi Canter, he could have left the roof right next to your house. His truck passed by just fine.... Now, just need the solar panels and one or two wind turbines. :)

Carry on one step at a time. Renovation is coming along nicely. Looks beautiful.

Great watch guys it's all coming together stay well best wishes 😘 phil

It’s so exciting watching the barn turn into your HOME! Great job. I know that was a long strenuous day but you made it look easy.

Absolutely love your videos so lovely people you both deserve love ❤️

11/10 for effort on this video guys. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. As Laura said Rome was not built in a day.

beautiful video, beautiful couple

Patience is a virtue good job 👍

For some reason my phone just keeps buffering and stopping playing after short times. I see you finally got all the roof materials moved up to your home. Anxious to see how it will look when all is done.

Great job , one job at a time. You will get there. Enjoy one another as you go along

A new roof next time! Cool🎉

You guys are just amazing! I can image how exhausted were you after that hard work.

Well done and just in time for the sunset.

Wow you two deserve a nice warm shower and a early sleep after this process. How are you gonna get it on the house??

Great work Guys, its going to take time, Rome wasn,t built in a day, i,m very impressed with your ambitions, you,re doing a great job, good luck from Ireland

The roof looks brilliant love the colour of the tiles it will match the door so we'll I hope you are getting help to put it on we don't want any broken bones all joking aside please be careful both of you ❤ the house looks brilliant no longer a barn x😊
