How lucky you are to have Simon working alongside you both.
Really lucky!
It is so nice to see your mom doing her own stuff and enjoying herself. The door was done beautifully to the bathroom and your tiling skills are very good Andrea.
Wow, a DOUBLE rainbow! So nice to hear your excitement. The garden is shaping up beautifully, and it's lovely to see you and your mom working side by side. The backsplash is very well done!
👍
I would love to know more about Simon. He is such an integral part of your home renovation.
He is! Simon is my brother in law and he is quite shy about talking directly to the camera 😄 and an amazing jeweller as well!
Beautiful door, Simon! You are so brave laying the tile, Andrea. It looks great. Your momma is a sweetheart. I am glad she lives with you.What an incredible rainbow!
She is! She’s got quite a green thumb as well!
A brilliant job on the tiles girl! And wow your Mum is a hard worker as well!!
Haha I’ll make sure she sees this! 🥰
I love the dedication put into this reno. I can’t wait to see how the whole place will look once finished. It’s gonna be amazing. This is so inspiring to watch! ✊🏾
Thank you ❤️
Wow, finally. Something that Simon didn't know how to do...but, ja, like Andrea said. Turn your back for 2 minutes and Simon's done. He's mastered the art of plastering drywall, within two ticks of a duck's tail. 😂 Well done. It was B perfectly done.
Thank you, Andrea, for the close-ups on your tiling. It gives me the confidence to do my own back splash in my little renovation! 🙏🏼
No problem! I think the most important thing is to place the spacers in every corner of a tile so you have an even finish. The grout is supposed to be of a smooth peanut butter consistency but I found it was drying too quickly so I made it slightly more watery. You’ll see once you start.
Also never keep adhesive for the next day! It doesn’t work!! 😂
Yes, plant the green mulch winter ground cover in the fall of each year... Clover is good and some types of pea plants. :)
The tiles are looking good in the kitchen and the bathroom door is beautiful!
Massive difference!
Wowww! watching this video was like taking a virtual tour of a dream homestead.
oh Thank you so much for those kind words!
Great job everybody. Your home is taking chape and it will be most beautiful.
The tiling is looking very good. Loved the door Simon made x
How fun to see the botanical garden in Coimbra! We loved it when we were there. There's another smaller park walking distance from there that was also very lovely.
That's going to be such a big difference in the kitchen!❤
Well done Andrea ,with the tiles!!!!
Your place is looking amazing .
Have a nice week!!!🇬🇷 🇬🇷
Doing a great job door is beautiful and the tiling will look good when finished
You always make beautiful stories.
Cheers to you all🐨❤️🐨
Your tiling is amazing…. It’s all coming together beautifully.
Thank you! I’m glad it was a small space to tile and not like the bathroom! 😵💫😂
The splash back looks lovely
Simon is so good at explaining his process. If he were to take on an apprentice at some point, they'd be incredibly lucky to have his guidance.
That’s such a good idea!
Your Mother’s bathroom door turned out beautifully. All I can say about your tiling skills is just wow, you did an amazing job. The rainbow had the end of the video was gorgeous. Always reminds me of God’s promises to us. Enjoyed the video & thank you for sharing. Looking forward to your next one.
27:13 🤯😅 You are a very skilled craftswoman
Thank you! ❤️
You’re doing a great job. I admire your woodworking skills well done. Yet another job off the list, getting closer to the finish. 🎉🎉😢😢
Well done Andrea🎉
🇿🇦
Thank you Colleen! ❤️
Andrea, I did think you and your mom were Venezuelan. Great job guys, it’s looking amazing. Sending all my love from Caracas, Venezuela. Love and be safe!😘🤗🌼🇻🇪
Hola Paisana! Siempre me hace feliz ver a un venezolano por aquí. Somos del Oriente pero mi padre era de Los Teques. Sin mucho tiempo en ir y lo extraño mucho! Saludos!
Hi Omar and Andrea I hope you are both well, thank you for sharing your DNA heritage results, was quite exciting to know all you makeup so to speak, I'm now going to do mine as know I have half siblings somewhere who I'd love to connect with.
Andrea I love that you turn your hand to all parts of renovating your tiny home and it always looks amazing!❤️. Can't wait to see your back splashed all finished off. 😃👌🤟
I think it’s fantastic to do. I was quite amazing to see the Irish so now I went to find out where that comes from. I’m guessing my mothers side.
Beautiful door. Great tile work and your garden is coming along nicely.
Well done with tiling
Great door, Simon :) Also, good work on the back splash, Andrea.
Great work, everything looks so nice!💖
Looking good! Your children will turn out as themselves 😊. My husband's niece that's half Chinese has wavy auburn hair and green eyes, so you'll just have to wait and see!
I'm curious how many Jewish grandparents Omar has though. I have partial Jewish ancestry on both sides, but only one full grandparent, BUT my Iberian percentage only makes sense if it was all Sephardic and they added my Basque and French Creole to it. Another family member did both Ancestry and 23&me, and Ancestry didn't show Sub-Saharan but 23&me did. My husband's finally changed Polynesian to Native American, which is what he knew it to be. Assuming these are the only one you've done?
olá ... estou espantado com vocês ... no inicio desse projeto achei que seriam tipo " não me toques " mas com o correr dos meses reconheco que evoluiram muito ... PARABÉNS !!! Um grande abraço aqui do Porto Portugal . Continuem estou a gostar.
Obrigada! Sim! Esperou que este ano tem feito mais evolução! 🥰
Hi, we love your videos!
We are doing a very similar mortgage free project. Its not always easy but if we think about the future where we will be financialy independet it gives us the strength to continue! All the best! Gabriel&Leni
Ah brilliant! It’s hard work isn’t it? But much easier now that we are more comfortable. Where are you guys doing your Reno? Thank you for the support!
Watching from South Africa Mosselbay. Born in O.F.S Virginia
Vocês foram abençoados com o Arco Íris....não há maior encanto ❤❤❤😊
Great job tiling.
We use buckwheat. And then in spring turn it into the soil....but goggle it...winter ground cover for gardens nitrogen fixing. :). We live in south Texas.
That’s very interesting. Im not sure if I’m on time but I’ll have a look! Thank you!
Hello Omar from SouthAfrica. I'm Tracey form SouthAfica
That was a surprise. I've been in Portugal 3 years.
From Cape Town
Oh wow! Another fellow Capetonian!
Perhaps consider a cover crop over your garden beds next winter. To suppress weeds and feed nitrogen to the soil. We plant buckwheat. :). Happy gardening
Absolutely! 100% will do that while any beds aren’t being used. What kind of cover do you use?
PERFECT JOB
delightful DNA discoveries!!!!
Right?! I was so shocked!
Don’t farget to use two hinges at The top of The door, to prevent future sagging😘
Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thank you Doris! Hope you are having a good weekend! ❤️
@@TheIndigoEscape I am. Thank you. It is coming along nicely
Beautiful door!
Really nice! Just needs a handle!
I don’t know if you already know…….Next time you see a rainbow that visibly ends in your garden, go and physically stand in the colours, it is known to bring good luck and fortune. 🌈 🤞
Ahh!! I Will! I really lasted a couple of more seconds than that!
I did a dna test, and i found that i had two secret half sister who were twins. I'm also 100% North Western European. English, Irish, and Scottish
Wow that’s crazy! What an interesting story. I’m sure a lot of things have been discovered through this tests. It’s fascinating.
Hi Andrea. I am very curious on the percentage of your African heritage. So glad that you don’t deny that you have a little bit of mother Africa in you.
It’s on minute 02:57. It’s 11.2% North African and 4.3% Nigerian. ❤️
Great Job On the Tile!!❤ . I'll tell ya, I'd have hated to get my butt whipped by your Mum when i was little, or now! ! She really knows how to wack them weeds!!!🤣🤣🤣 Your videos go by so fast! Probably because their NOT boring. What town did you take Omar to? Oh, i ordered 2 DNA, 1 for me and 1 for my Mom! HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON!!! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣🍍🤗
You should lay some plastic and gravel in-between the garden beds to reduce weeds and cleanup every time you garden.
I wouldn't use plastic anywhere in the garden because of micro plastic which can nowadays be found almost everywhere, even in breast milk. I use cardboard, newspapers and mulch.

Would it be possible to build additional buildings? Possibly establishing a B&B?
Maybe, it just needs to follow other regulations. We want to make the workshop in the future into a “Granny annex” that we could rent
When you get thru digging you concrete skim a then layer over all so it want look so patched.
So I’m new here does Simon work for you both ??, amazing video😊
Simon is oiur brother in law and he works with us Monday to Friday
@@TheIndigoEscape you sure have a amazing brother in law 🇮🇪
I recently submitted my saliva for testing in a medical study looking for markers of health issues. Everyone in my immediate family has health issues except me. Is it genetics, environment, lifestyle or?
It might well be a combination of all!
Awesome. First comment, baby
🥳🥰
The Newbies have panes of that yellow glass in a building they are tearing down.
Oh wow cool. They are a bit far though. I might be able to find it a bit closer to us ❤️ thanks for letting us know though!
🤘🤘
When are you going to show the completed room where your mom occupies?
You left us hanging.
We will show a start to finish later but we just need to finish some things first. Like the cabinet. Don’t worry, it will happen 🥰
@@TheIndigoEscape : Thank goodness 😅
i went back through those videos again, thinking that I must have missed it, somehow.
Thank you so much for confirming. It was such an exiting project, almost completed ☑️ that it lingered on my mind 😄
I was curious about your heritage. I guessed ( Andrea) you had a lot of north african.
I was curious why omar has an arabic (muslim) name. 😊
He was brought up muslim!
Bless you. I just found out that jews are also called omar but spelled different. Something like omer or umer. Not so sure. ❤ I'm just curious about people's origins. Just fascinates me. 😊
is simon and omar brothers?
No, brothers in law!
Doesn't Simon work on some huge castle? I think I saw him on that channel
No! I think that’s another lad.
But still bo kids? Come on bro
Some people may need to wait to be more stable, some may not be able to conceive so easily. You never know.
