😂🤣😂 You left out chocolate..lol 👍 XX

Don't tell everyone.!! 😂

NEVER.!! 😂 XX

Ha.! We love hermits..we're borderline hermits most of the time anyways..lolol Love n Hugs To ya's.!! XX

Hi..you're welcome to ask, but I'm no expert.. The electrician that we got in is a good bloke, based not far from the Danube..he's proper Bulgarian and does things the Bulgarian way, but he knows his stuff.. 👍

Ah no, year afore..last year we were at the Black Sea for Christmas..

Lmao! Might be a new business venture Asa..mind you, Karen would rescue them all..lolol I have a rocking chair we bought off a couple that have moved back to the UK..needs some repair work, but it will probably appear on the veranda at some point..lolol 😉😂😂👍 take care, safe travels mate.. Love and Big Hugs 💜😻💙

Glad you enjoyed it mate..such a gorgeous area 😊❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ when the sun pokes through and makes the mountainsides glow it's a proper treat to behold.. Love Scotland, love to you's.. 🙏 XX

@LillaHusVanlife aye pure magic. Love n light

Aw no...hope its not too bad mate.. no pads ta..using teabags now..lol 😂😂

I'm not sure.. it used to be a very grand house though..I wish there were pictures of it when it was built.. 💜

You have to get rid of those snails, because they will distroy your plants. You can pick and sell them. Bulgarians love snails 😊

@MargaritaIvanova-nc9dq snails can actually be good for the garden as most species of them prefer to eat decaying material rather than fresh leaves. They're adding compost as they go.. 👍

Errrr...I've just been and checked and I think it's just your end Elaine 🤔 I've found the tool and it's available at Praktiker..here's the link, if it helps.? praktiker.bg/en/Poyalnici/POYaLNIK-ZA-RR-TRABI-PREMIUM/p/466748

Thank you so much.! Really glad you enjoyed it 😊 Hope you're staying safe and warm..take care 🙏❤️

Thank you mate, much appreciated 😊🙏

Hi Mark and thank you.! It was a struggle, but we still managed to get a chunk done, despite the heat.. Cheers for the comment.. 🙏 Take care won't you 😊

Hiya Kev..yes that's the idea..got to try and beat the outside conditions as much as possible.. Thank you and take care 🙏😊

Glad you enjoyed it Julia.. I'm not sure when the houses were built, but the barn is marked at 1927, so the houses could be around 100 years old.. I'm hoping she doesn't mind what we're doing.. 🤔 Thanks for your comment 🙏

@@LillaHusVanlife of course she doesn't mind. She is getting a new lease of life and that is great! ✌

It will be worth the effort I'm sure Alison..if it's easy it's no challenge..lol 😊🤷🏻‍♂️🙏

​@@LillaHusVanlife in popovo buying a house your videos are helping me realise the graft needed so thankyou🙏

Lmao.! 😂 Thank you 🙏😊 The rat poop is old and I'm concreting any entrances to the building that I can find as I go.. There has been one set of fresh droppings in the big house loft space, so I'll keep an eye open and address that at some point before it gets too much. The property is really a lot to handle, but as long as were just doing things in stages, then we're coping.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thanks ever so much for your comment.. Take care ❤️ xx

@@Diane-NewNomads the bathroom has an extraction fan at the end for removing steam, etc..if we need to, we could either upgrade in the future or add a window as its just a mudbrick wall and shouldn't be too hard to sort. The windows are now removed, but after doing some cutting in there, I think we ought to have left some ventilation..maybe a future project.. 🤔 We live and learn 🤷🏻‍♂️ the windows were shot though, so they'd have had to be replaced. The snails were amazing..couldn't resist filming as I've never seen so many together..lol 😂 Take care both..safe travels to you 😊🙏💜

@@eddiestafford3313 thank you Eddie, it's good to hear socket fusion was used for gas too..must be pretty decent then 👍 plumbing has gone well, although I've a couple of pipe fittings to alter today, so wish me luck..lol 😂 Thanks for watching.. take care 🙏

@@cyberbij1 thank you 😊 🙏 I have no idea on the snails..apparently so, but we won't be trying them 🤢😂😂

@@dmarkov страсти 👋😊

@@rositsastefanova7780 Thank you 😊🙏💜

@@travellingarts93 thank you so much 😊 I can't recall the exact price as his costs were bundled in with a couple of other things...I think he was around 180 lev a day plus wire and parts, although that's just going by my addled memory.. its a rough guide at least.. Hope that helps 🙏 Good luck with your property.. 😊

@@NBNatureTrailvan thank you so much guys..most days I try to film from all sorts of angles, but when we've been extremely rushed and busy, I don't get much chance..only the odd snippet. Things are evolving in the house now, but we still haven't used the shower..you'll see the progress in coming weeks once I pull my finger out and edit..lolol Glad you're enjoying and the snails say hi 👋 Hope you're staying safe in the cold stuff 🥶 take care won't you.. 😊🙏❤️

@@LillaHusVanlife we will - not sure we could cope with 40 let alone 47 😂😂

😂🤣😂 Want some.? 😂👍

No thanks. Will they be a problem should you plant a garden?

@@Julia-zd4cs I'm not sure...perhaps they will, at which point I'll be escorting them off've the property..lol 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Thank you so much..it's the small steps that add up and the chaps did a brilliant job with the electrics.. 😊👍

We've always had upright boilers within the living space so we can keep an eye on any dodgy plumbing/leaks which seem to happen frequently there 😄

I don't recall seeing a horizontal one to be fair, but we're okay with what we have..space isn't really a big issue considering we've managed to live in our van for over 2 and a half years and even the small house is a huge space compared.. Thank you tho 👍

Good point guys.. 😊👍

Thank you hon.. 🙏❤️ Apparently the snails would also be in the pot here...not ours tho...lolol 😂🤢😂 The lights will be a boon now it's getting dark so early..that flood light doesn't half cut it's way through the darkness, which I spose is it's job... 😂🤣😂❤️ xxx

@LillaHusVanlife I don't blame you, they are disgusting. My daughter used to like them tho 🤢 It's snowing here ❄️ Be interesting to see how much snow you guys get and what winter temperatures. Tc guys. Xxx 💜

@@FreeBirdUKVanLife 😂🤢😂👍 I gathered its snowing, yeah..hopefully you're coping okay in it.. 🤞 last Winter here, we had several nights below -11°C and the days stayed in the minuses. This year could be a bad one as apoarently all the fruit trees have been laden, which the locals predict could be quite a harsh Winter, do we'll see how we cope..still living in Lilla anyway so if that stays the case then we'll be fine.. 😁 Take care out there and I hope your travels are safe.. 🙏❤️ xxx

@@LillaHusVanlife Jesus, I can't cope at 5° lol my heaters working but it dont heat the van when it's really cold, just where my feet are if I sit on the edge of the bed 🤣 Stay warm n safe guys, I won't be travelling while it's icy. Hunker down times. ❄️ 💜xxx

No I don't think I've seen snails being sold at all..lol 🤷🏻‍♂️😂😂 Yeah we had ours done by a Bulgarian chap to incoming regs and added a thicker mains cable than was previously fitted, although I'm fairly sure there's no earth spike been added..he does really tidy work though..very impressed. The weirdest thing about the plastic welded joints is that if anything goes wrong with measurements or anything, then the full joint has to be cut and thrown..there's no un-melting the pieces and reusing them.. 🤔

Although the UK standard with a separate ground is better, two-wire wiring (if done correctly) is safe enough. I'm not sure if 3 wire wiring is a mandatory requirement under modern EU standards...

@@MrTon4eff I'm thinking it's not a requirement in the EU although I seem to recall being told that the two pin sockets actually have a place for an earth cable built in. 🤔 We figured we would be better off upgrading the system either way, purely as we use an air fryer, kettle, induction hob, etc..all high(ish) watts.. 🤷🏻‍♂️👍

@@LillaHusVanlife The separate third wire -GND is better for safety, not higher wattage. There is a separate GND pin in the EU sockets, but requires 3 wire cable, which is of course more expensive... Including digging a hole for the local GND...

Hiya Jim and thankkya.. 👍 The D Visa was okay, although ours took weeks longer than anyone we know, for some reason.. Apart from that it went fairly smoothly 😊

@@LillaHusVanlife cheers for that info 😀

@@jamessearle2339 no problem 😊 👌

Thank you Sharon, it's good to see some of it progressing now.. 😉 Can't wait for the shower to be up and running..one day..lol 😂 We have people who want to come out and see us next year and hopefully we should have the basics set up for that..we don't mind roughing it at all, but it might be a stretch for some 😉 The videos are a little behind now, so the temperatures are a chunk lower, thankfully, but yes, I think you're right about the ventilation thing..unfortunately we're past installing one this year..we'll see if its necessary next year.. Someone else suggested setting up a buy me a coffee, recently..although I'm extremely flattered that viewers would like to help, I feel that I'm happy enough if they want to watch our progress.. That's a good enough compliment for me. Take care and thank you so very much for the input.. 😊🙏💜

🤣 yes they do eat the giant snails.

😂🤣😂🤢 I'll leave them to it, I reckon..lolol

Yeah I figured we might get slightly high readings, due to being a black thermometer, but I think the fact that we're surrounded by our own buildings which stop some of the breeze doesn't help either.. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I wasn't aware that snails were on the menu here..lol 😂👍 Every day is a school day Owen...thank you 🙏

​@@LillaHusVanlife90 odd percent wouldn't touch snails or frogs with a barge pole. There are the odd few who would munch them tho. You can also sell them. Or at least we were as kids.

Thank you Barry, it's slow progress at times, but at least it's progress 😉 Take care won't you.. 🙏😊

It is indeed Terry..bit by bit, although there's still a good way to go.. 😊🙏

@@LillaHusVanlife😊

Thank you Jane! 😊🙏

No worries mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙏❤️

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much.. 🙏 your homeland is beautiful 😍 ♥️

Thank you Jim, much appreciated 👍 Some really gorgeous places here to visit aren't there.. 😊

They've got a bargain then.! Nice one.. I have a pinned comment on the video where we first saw the house with a rough price if you need.. Different areas and the state of each property brings a huge range of prices.
