Next weekend we're launching a crowdfunding campaign in our village to help restore a building we donated, which will be used by the community. You can read more about it here ➡ fomento.villaberna.ar/en ⬅ but more will be revealed in the coming days! 😊
Yes, we're really happy with how they turned out. Especially since we trusted the carpenter to do his thing without offering any examples! We still have lots of wood left from the old roof, so we'll see what else we can do.
Hola Audrey Samuel y Daniel. Llegaron a Canadá 🇨🇦, queremos el video del reencuentro de Daniel y Togo 🐕 va a ser emocionante. Hasta el próximo video querida familia. Saludos desde Córdoba Edgardo 🍷.
You guys have accomplished so much . The kitchen cabinets looked great. The interior walls fresh. A lot to build on ,the next time you go . Harriet and I went through the same process. It's a learning curve. It was for us when we were working on our portuguese property. Safe travels back to Canada guys. 🥰 We love you guys. Harriet, Jim and Yuki
Thank you Jim and Harriet! You're right. It's good to take a step back and look at everything that's been accomplished. Sometimes it doesn't feel like much or like it's happening fast enough, but then we think back to the very beginning, and it's been leaps and bounds! I hope you two are well and enjoying the tail end of summer. Sending you greetings from Canada! 😊
You guys made amazing progress - great job! I know this is a bit late but you can now get solar-powered outdoor cameras to keep an eye on the property from afar...and once you're all done with the renos, you can use them for wildlife cams and stream them on RU-vid ☺
Thanks, we'll look into that for next time. We brought a home security system but our rural internet wasn't fast enough to run it. I'm sure the wildlife cams would capture plenty of foxes and wild boars, maybe even a puma!
Congratulations to the three of you. I have been following your journey and what a big difference since you started. Daniel was really a big help with his knowhow in caprtentry work and his experience and insights in doing things and about Argentina. Indeed it has been long journey but it an investment of time and resources but its all worth it, you'll see. Sam summed it all your experience: "we have made (a lot of) progress, (I would say), we have been experienced, we have been weathered, next time we come back, we'll make even more progress." God be with you.
Thank you for the encouragement. It hasn't been easy, but we're determined to see it all the way through! We've got a vision of what it can be and that's what we're working towards. 😊
If you have problems with the power, you need to get a large generator. The weather is getting bad all over the world. Windy days, rains causing flooding etc.
Good eye! It wouldn't have been a proper day on the job site without at least one hiccup. 😅 The measurements were off, so now we need to adapt to one fixed window pane and one sliding window. A task upon our return.
Va tomando color. Les lleva mucho esfuerzo pero sin duda va a ser un placer para ustedes vivir allí ( part time o full time) . A mi entender fué una buena decisión la de renovar esta propiedad. Felicitaciones
Hey Samuel and Audrey. Fellow former Torontonian here (Sherbourne & Carlton). I’m currently in South America and heading to Argentina soon, with Bariloche and the surrounding area as my destination. Do you know when spring typically starts in that region? I don’t mind the cold, but I’m trying to avoid freezing temperatures. Wishing you both a great trip.
Suerte que Daniel sabe mucho de todo y lo aplica brillantemente! Hermosa familia no dejen este sueño!!! Sigan adelante y vengan más seguido a ver si podemos ir a rentar una habitación en ese paraíso de las sierras cordobesas. Ya son parte de mi familia, que tengan muy buen regreso!!
Realmente disfruto sus videos, y me da pena no haber podido ir a verles éste año tampoco. Mi salud no fue la mejor y ahora que ya me recupere de todo, justo se van nuevamente. Espero poder verles el próximo año. Y llevar a alguien que trabaje a conciencia y, no se puede creer las fallas de construcción que han tenido que resolver luego de haber pagado tanto.
cuando era chico (años 70's) mis abuelos me regalaban billetes de 1.000.000, que servían para ir al kiosko y comprar un chocolate....acá en Argentina siempre los mismos quilombos, por suerte Peluca parece querer arreglar estas cosas, el tema es que a futuro no venga otro desquiciado y arruine todo otra vez.
