Hey 👋🏻 Andrew I just want to say, you do get on with your work on your land. Your living my dream. But going down that well on your own is dangerous. I know you are very careful. But gives me chills lol 😂. Just love everything you’ve done so far 😉
You are very hardworking! You’re making me tired just watching you 😀. Nice that the tractor and car got some tlc. You might be forced to rest if you get heavy rain!
Well done Andrew! Watched back all your episodes and truely enjoyed it. You’re such a hard worker and inspiring for many. Admiring your ability to show us beautiful surroundings an
Your not far from the water your friend froggy lives in water We call him bullfrogs here and he good eating to taste like chicken👍Could you make some steps in the wall so you can get in and out of the well It would be nice 👍 Maybe reclaim your wheel if you could make a pull system with buckets crank on mate👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
It's all taking shape, even though I am wondering how long you can keep this pace up? Still there is nothing like accomplishing one's dreams to give you inspiration. You really are an enthusiastic achiever, Andrew, and such a pleasure to watch. Ever thought of trying to capture a sounder of swine? There are youtube video's on that, I am wondering if you are going to take a break at Christmas time. Looking forward to the next video. Take care.
Hi Carolle, I’m actually keeping the pace at a comfortable level so I don’t put too much pressure on myself. The previous 5 yrs I was on it every day to get things done to tight schedules I set. There’s no schedule here just goals and I try to keep an even balance between getting things done and enjoying it. And of course taking time to step back and do other things. That’s really important. While it’s cooler it’s the best time to be on it. I’ll look up ‘a sounder of swine’. Christmas day And Boxing Day i’ll be chillin. We got rain coming so I’ll take that time to edit the previous houses vids I keep promising.
I know I am late looking…it is now May 2022..but those wheels and columns look like some form of mechanical pump which might take water to the cistern under your out door show supplying the house with water…maybe?
Have you thought about replenishing the aquafier from the top, you have a lot of bare grund and when the Rain comes am not sure how much you get soaking into the earth to replenish the ground water, am sure you have planned a few permaculture swales in the future, and covering all that bare earth to get some soakage?
Hi Why do you leave your Jeep door open , I've noticed in lots of your videos the door open? Do you think it could be killing yout battery, just a thought., cheers.
Will likes to sleep in it during the day. Goes back to when we had a tent whilst renovating previous house. I’ll be stopping that soon now the area has cover and when I’ve given the car a good clean. It’s ok on battery, nothings on.
No one has lived here for over 40 yrs. The sides gave way. Poor construction I’d say. The question is not if it has water but will it be strong enough and how damaged? Can it realistically be rebuilt… only one way to find out..
nice work very hard mate, if was me I would remove concrete clean the metals out and all the soil loose, but I would not go hard like that exemple if the ring now are 2 meters an exemple I would put smaller cement rings up to level of the ground and around the rings pure gravel granite so I would create deposit outside the rings also filtering the water.
I sold it. They are not practical as I discovered when digging the trench for the water and electricity pipes. Better off saving for a proper track digger that’s fit for purpose. One that can do full 360 and easy to manoeuvre. Attachments are really limiting and a pain to connect/ disconnect. Never again. Oh how lovely it would be to have all the right equipment… but it’s all about what I can afford. Maybe one day.
Yes, you have something to offer... like your knowledge, you seem a very wise man and you have lot of land where maybe some volunteer could ⛺️ in exchange of helping during some days of work. I would love to do that buuut during the spring or summer season 😎
Work smarter not harder. Job could’ve been done so much quicker using tools available in the area. No wonder the Portuguese do this 🤦🏻♀️ when they see Americans or British doing stuff like this.

Never seen such a hard working one man band. Unlike other channels which fill half an hour with chickens and pointing. Best channel yet mate. 👍
Spot on comment!
Totally agree with that 💯
Absolutely agree. He is a phenomenal worker. So focused. An absolute gem 💕💕
The before & after pics really showed the effort!!
Am binge watching older videos as I just found your channel. There have been many new ones started in Portugal, so I am intrigued to find out more.
Rain looks imminent, and you are so deep down that hopefully your well stays dry while you’re in there
You are very hardworking! You’re making me tired just watching you 😀. Nice that the tractor and car got some tlc. You might be forced to rest if you get heavy rain!
Unreal progress💪💪
True grafter even when you say you are going to have an easier day you are grafting 😂😇😂
Your work ethics are super amazing. God bless you abundantly.
Wow look at the difference 😍 another enjoyable video 📹 thanku Andrew. Stay safe .
Well done Andrew! Watched back all your episodes and truely enjoyed it. You’re such a hard worker and inspiring for many. Admiring your ability to show us beautiful surroundings an
WOW indeed 😂 couldn’t tell when the time laps started or ended…….you’re such a hard worker 💪🏼
Oddly satisfying watching someone else working 😆🙌🏼
Well done Andrew! What a job. You must be so fit. What a tough job. How much swearing was off camera I’d like to know ! 😂 🏴
Ha ha just a bit. I do like a good swear, but not on camera. 👍

You're a brave man...
Hello! You are doing a great and a fantastic job! Merry Christmas! 😊👍🎄🎉
Great hard work and enthusiasm that has to be admired. May I ask your age?
You're a Superstar. Looking forward to next Wed. as well as your Christmas Special.😎🌲🌴🌲.
How wonderful to be able to pick lemons like that. Lemon & honey in water's delicious :-)
Any word on when the foundation/roof/electrical folks came to check out your house?
Still waiting for quote and time. You gotta be patient in the Algarve. Hopefully soon.

Christmas day And Boxing Day i’ll be chillin. We got rain coming so I’ll take that time to edit the previous houses vids I keep promising.
30s and new fence is up... Sir, you are legend 💪
I heard some tango music in the background. Nice!
You need to give yourself a chritmas present of a hoist, you really deserve a helping hand 🎄🎄
Maybe make a tower from timber and then with a bucket maybe.😇💟💟💟
I know I am late looking…it is now May 2022..but those wheels and columns look like some form of mechanical pump which might take water to the cistern under your out door show supplying the house with water…maybe?
Well done on getting the wheels out. Where is your harness 😂😂
Please wear a safety harness as the well could collapse in.
On it 👍
Another amazing video, thanks Andrew 👍💯 Merry Christmas 🌲☃️
The before and after(almost) pictures..were great.
Tossing spade loads over arm..not great on shoulder joints..oh WELL. if you must.😄🤔
I don’t quite understand why all the wells are left open. Seems like a hazard to people and animals. Any plans to put proper covers on them?

You know you are working hard when you tractor can’t keep up with you!
Well, you’re doing really well on the well! 😆👍🏻
Had a thought..the same machine that winched out the old concrete power poles would do the lifting here
Still searching for someone. I’ll be holding off on the well now we got rain coming so hopefully I’ll find someone soon.

Oh , ok ,that explains it , was just curious.
Ok Andrew, you have a strong day. Egil O. Norway.
I think that digging is called 'hard labour'. Your place is looking good.
What's the end game with the well? Maybe it was filled in because it was dry...
No one has lived here for over 40 yrs. The sides gave way. Poor construction I’d say. The question is not if it has water but will it be strong enough and how damaged? Can it realistically be rebuilt… only one way to find out..
@@rusticcrow if the soil is getting wetter that's a good sign I suppose.
All's well that ends well😁👍
LOL looking more like a swimming hole than a well!
27:21 Benny Hill moment XD
I love these videos
Like I said before, great content, hope you hit water pretty soon..
Did you mate putt some safety’s fences around does hole you have there
nice work very hard mate, if was me I would remove concrete clean the metals out and all the soil loose, but I would not go hard like that exemple if the ring now are 2 meters an exemple I would put smaller cement rings up to level of the ground and around the rings pure gravel granite so I would create deposit outside the rings also filtering the water.
New sub from London big thumbs up👍🏻wish I was there helping you.lol
Feel free ha ha. Welcome hope you enjoy.
@@rusticcrow send me the air tickets for me and my wife and we’ll be there😂
Hi Andrew. Had a thought, why don’t you find a backhoe for the tractor. Your going to need one in the future anyway.
I sold it. They are not practical as I discovered when digging the trench for the water and electricity pipes. Better off saving for a proper track digger that’s fit for purpose. One that can do full 360 and easy to manoeuvre. Attachments are really limiting and a pain to connect/ disconnect. Never again. Oh how lovely it would be to have all the right equipment… but it’s all about what I can afford. Maybe one day.
You can see it in the early tractor vids I did.
Andrew, you have to build new house for frog, you can just blaste frogs home to smithereens.
I don't know why but what you are doing is Scarry just seeing the frog...
The frog likes water and you are in a week...
I’ll be putting something across the top and lower down to support me just in case. But looks like I might have to hold off for a while now ☔️
Find any gold?☺
Man cave?
Do you accept volunteers?
I can’t offer anything but if someone did volunteer they get to be in the vlog, ha ha
Yes, you have something to offer... like your knowledge, you seem a very wise man and you have lot of land where maybe some volunteer could ⛺️ in exchange of helping during some days of work. I would love to do that buuut during the spring or summer season 😎
@@mariacatarinamotta bring a ⛺️
@@rusticcrow Thank you, Andrew! If I'm not working, or if I have a couple of days off, I'll visit you in March 2022 ;)
Must be an easier way Andrew..just can't fathom it..well done...but your beginning to look like a POW
Next year I’m bulking up. Chicken and broccoli.
@@rusticcrow I feel happy to hear that..you are going to feel the benefit.
You use up so much energy you could eat any amount I am sure 🥰🐕💚🖤🧡
Wat is the purpose of cleaning out the well? I think i lost the plot.
I covered that. Water for veg garden.
😀💪💪💪
Your back. It will pay you back big time later on. I used to be like you, but I lifted more. You should think about that. I didn't listen either.
You need another person to lower a basket down to help you or you are likely to tear a muscle throwing the sods up that far!!
as well...😂
Weel
I have hope that you eat lots of quality/farm/local meat.
Chicken and next year more chicken, I’ve lost a bit too much weight.
Work smarter not harder. Job could’ve been done so much quicker using tools available in the area. No wonder the Portuguese do this 🤦🏻♀️ when they see Americans or British doing stuff like this.
Clearly you didn’t watch or listen, did you! 🤦🏼♂️
