So glad you went with the gravel. Wood chips move too much any draft or wind in there would the chips going everywhere. Tunnel looks really good. Oh so exciting projects starting to happen. I just love it. It will make a big difference when you get hour workshop done. That little trailer you bought was such a good idea, I would say money well spent. Your dogs are so cute. Till next week...............

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Hi Elizabeth, We’re happy with the stones even though it was hard work. Looking forward to the workshop and the trailer was definitely worth it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment ❤️

@meglange3595 3 месяца назад

Good start on the house. It's going to be so lovely. Always happy to see things like the old floor tiles saved and repurposed. The ceiling fixture/chandelier with the pink globes is really beautiful. Will you reuse it? A chipper is absolutely wonderful if you have a lot of regular pruning and cleanup to do and are going to use it to make your own mulch, for around trees and beds and such. But if not then you're right that it wouldn't justify itself. We have snow on the ground here and I'm all bundled up in layers with a hot drink, so it makes me smile to see you sweating in the lovely warmth and sunshine 🌞. Take care. 🥰♥️

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Hi Meg, The house will be lovely, the light fitting won’t be reused, but I’m sure we’ll find a good home for it. I don’t envy your snow. One of the beauties of living in the Algarve. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😊👍🏻

@sydneyevans2637 3 месяца назад

I'm glad to see you've gotten some help to do the renovation. It will move much faster with more hands. The polytunnel looks great with the new floor. Can't wait to see what you sow. Best to all!

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Yes it leaves us more time to do the finishing and won’t kill us in the process. 😉😊

@lilo7019 3 месяца назад

@Nena84734 3 месяца назад

OMG, that was a lot of work, especially being in that poly tunnel, you’re turning into ever ready bunnies!

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Thank you ☺️

@deborahwhite2339 3 месяца назад

So the fun begins. I don't think I would ever change out that gravel. It looked like a grueling shovel job. Your warm sunny weather looks so tantalizing. It's -8C with a wind chill of -18C here today. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

🥶 I don’t even know what that feels like! Thanks for watching 😊

@getlostwhenwondering393 3 месяца назад

I love that the pups are always there. Will you put fans to circulate the air out of the cold frame?

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

That's the plan! Plus a sunshade over the top for summer

@carold.m.3001 3 месяца назад

You guys have doubled down on the renovations. 2 properties. You know how to deliver 👍👍

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

It’s either a good plan or a crazy plan, but we’re excited. 😊

@alexday5892 3 месяца назад

Absolutely love seeing efforts coming to fruition. I’ve shoveled gravel and it’s back breaking work. Interesting to see the skip so far away from the property. Hope there weren’t any fly tippers dumping their own stuff in it ? Was looking at that bathroom and the shower cubicle looked tiny. It wasn’t even tiled and fitted out and looked you couldn’t shower a cat 😂. Can’t wait to how that project finishes but already know it will be amazing. Keep the vids coming. Expat who now lives in Sydney and love your channel. 🇬🇧🇦🇺

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Hi Alex, thank you! Glad you enjoy! The skip isn’t ours it’s a public one. The house will be lovely. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻

@elizabethmusso5946 3 месяца назад

Those tiles are beautiful and so sturdy looking. I’m looking forward to see how you use them.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Not sure where they will go if anywhere, but time will tell. 😊

Hi guys you did another great job for the Polythene thank you for the good video 👋👋🍻🍻

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Our pleasure! 👍🏻

@portugalthewrightway 3 месяца назад

The plans sound good, sure it's going to look great once done. Love watching your teamwork. Think the words you're looking for are "compost heap" 😜. Those doors look properly heavy, but they are lovely. The polytunnel is looking great too. The pupper Boris looks so cute riding with James on the quad 😂.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Hi guys 😊 It’s going to be tough with so much on the go!! 😅 Hope you have a great week 🤗

@raewhitbourn259 3 месяца назад

Ahhh, the beautiful Quad bike that your brother bought for your birthday. Very versatile.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

I think so too! Boris also loves it ☺️

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

We always enjoy life 😊

@arjanvogel6444 3 месяца назад

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys,did you try the wood mill for wood chips, Linda maybe you could drive the lawn mower to go to the poly tunnel and maybe put a shade cloth for over the poly tunnel or it's getting much to Hot and drink water and eat more salt, good work guys looks beautiful 😍. wood chips are also handy to keep the ground moisture in between of your plants.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Thank you! Definitely a shade cloth for the poly tunnel 😊👍🏻

@veemount3803 3 месяца назад

@lanecostilow6959 3 месяца назад

You might want to build a couple of tumbling composters. One to feed with organic matter while the other is composting. Tumbling is a lot easier than turning the compost piles over manually.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Hi Lane, I never thought of that. I’ll take a look😎👍🏻

@James-um8pq 3 месяца назад

Given it has taken Christen a life time to get you to call it a compost heap 🤣🤣🤣

Consider rubber interlocking tiles for the polytunnel

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

😊👍🏻

@vickijohnson8151 3 месяца назад

Shavings that are used in horse stalls come in packaged bags like bales of hay .. if any feed stores are around it might be possible to buy that .. for the future as I see you chose gravel!!! Hard work!!!

@galdessa1 3 месяца назад

That stuff is useless especially when it gets wet.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Great tip Vicki may come in handy when we get chickens. 😊👍🏻

@ritawells6876 3 месяца назад

Do they rent out wood chippers & other items in Portugal?

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

I’m sure if we look hard enough, we’ll find some of those machines for daily rental, not near us though, as we’re on the hills! For now, we’re just going to keep the branches for the base of the raised vegetables beds and burn the rest, maybe just keep the thicker wood for fire, let it dry and use it in a couple of years.

@justoneacre7873 3 месяца назад

Is this the house you were living in originally or is it the one at the back?

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

This is not our property, it’s a friends !

@curlydb4490 3 месяца назад

If your doing plantings in the poly tunnel won't some of the dirt fall on the floor? How will you clean that up with gravel or even chips? Do you have to put something on the floor, can't the plastic sheet do? It would make it easy to sweep any dirt that falls while planting up. Oops I typed the above while watching the video. I now see that you have put the gravel down. Well I'm sure you know best. Thanks for sharing. I do like all of your videos.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

There’s pros and cons to every situation so I guess we just deal with each one as and when we have to. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We appreciate it. 😊👍🏻

@MJMCJ2002 3 месяца назад

I look foward to see your projects progressing, love how you do your job. There are cheap wood chippers at Leroy Merlin for about 174€ or at Worten for about € 143. If you're not using it often these are, IMO, good choices.

@galdessa1 3 месяца назад

I'm surprised nobody hires out tools, so much cheaper if you only need it for a couple of days.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

The problem with the cheap chippers is that they are good for twigs, but not so good for branches. 👍🏻

@alethianicholson384 3 месяца назад

Hiya Christina and James. You both work so hard. Would you consider opening a hardware store to source better prices for builders? You can give skilful advice to customers.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Thank you! No is the simple answer. 😊👍🏻

@OnTheFlipSide 3 месяца назад

Nice progress guys, You should have jumped in the trailer and had a lift back up.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

Didn’t think of that. 🤦🏻‍♀️

@alanachrystorres28 3 месяца назад

Yes, it’s such a great thing here! It makes life so much easier .

Hi 👍🏼

@galdessa1 3 месяца назад

I wouldn't be growing lettuce in that tunnel if its 40c now, lettuce grow best at about 20c. which is was today in Almancil.

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

I’m sure Cristina will work out what to grow in there. I will be putting a shade cloth at some point., but I’m guessing lettuce will be grown in autumn. 😎👍🏻

@gayebickle1725 3 месяца назад

What is the plan for the renovation project once it is completed?

@galdessa1 3 месяца назад

They are doing it for someone else, check their last vlog on the subject

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

The owner will live in it. 😊👍🏻

@rosepelzel4244 3 месяца назад

Couldn't rent a chipper?

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

We could, yes! 😊👍🏻

@anitamoolman168 3 месяца назад

Why not borrow a wood chipper from a friend or rent it for a day or 2

@The-Quinta 3 месяца назад

I don’t like to borrow tools from friends, if they break it’s awkward. We could rent one. It’s an option.

@barbaranielsen2888 3 месяца назад
