I follow so many of the Portugal UA-camrs that are renovating homesteads and it broke my heart to hear about the fires and to think that you might loose your home . I am so glad you are both safe and sending all my best that it stays that way. Hugs from Ontario, Canada.
Digging the drain out is a thankless, neverending task but well worth doing. We are doing something very similar to yourselves, renovating an old abandoned property and trying to keep pumping out videos every week 😂 we live about thirty kilometres south of you. Fingers crossed that the fires are hopefully finished for this year. Keep the videos coming ! 👍
Hi guys - it's great to make contact with fellow UA-camrs, and we've already watched some of your videos. Looks like you've got a lot of work ahead, just like us! 🤞 that my drain clearance does the job now we've got some autumn rain.☔️🇵🇹
hi guys,you bought your property around the same time as us,we have only been back once for four weeks,youve done so much work on your property,with that heat well done,good luck.
Thanks, Shane! We've been fortunate to be able to come more frequently, but it's all been so much fun, and we're feeling like we belong here more every time.😀🇵🇹
Hola from Spain. Anither lovely video, apart from the devastating fires. We were evacuated very suddenly a few weeks ago due to huge fire that swept through our area. Thankfully we & our prooerty were safe., but an awful time for everyone. Driving around the area now & seeing the devastation is heartbreaking.. Glad your safe & can continue your hard work. Well done Jane clearing that ditch, no mean feat. Hope your enjoying your washing machine 😂 Take care, lots of love ❤️
Hola Patricia, from damp Portugal. How scary it must have been to be evacuated like that😳, but what a relief that you and your property are safe . Yes, the devastation is indeed heartbreaking, and our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by the terrifying fires. The washing machine has been transformational! Who knew? Stay safe☔️♥️
I have been wondering about that big house close to the extract to your property. Is that building yours too? Now that I can finally ask, and so happy, you are both well. I hope the fires 🔥 are controlled and put out soon. I pray for rain.❤❤❤
Thanks so much for your support. It seems that your prayers have been answered, and it's a huge relief that the rain is now dampening down the fires all over Portugal. The fire app looks a lot less scary now!☔️🇵🇹
Good that you and your homestead was save. Some questions, are you staying in Portugal over the winter and do you have the means do warm you (wood, burner). What are you doing or will you do to protect your homestead from fires ? Have a nice day, greetings from Belgium
Thanks for your concern. We're very thankful that the rain is calming everything down now...as well as making the land smell amazing! Will definitely talk further about winter plans and fire protection in our forthcoming 'Answers' episode. Hope you're enjoying autumn in Belgium, and it's not too wet!☔️🍂🍁
Hello, a question why do are you not putting a roof on top of your kitchen. I beleive it will keep you dry from the rain and cooler from the sun, thank you,
@@HotkeysPortugal no way (!?) Thats literally where we have bought our plot, algaca :) Its been 12 months but we are still stuck here in Spain for about 1 month more, we should connect, we will need new 'friends' ;)
@@HotkeysPortugal Will do, we will drop you an email ;) Your better half is great clearing the ditches, was thinking she can teach my missus haha In the meantime keep updating us ;)
Glad you are safe from the fires. My question is: If the rain comes, how much of your roof is dry - and when do you hope to start dealing with the collapsed sections? Will you take on the job yourselves?
Thanks for your concern. Thankfully the rain is now helping calm everything down, so we're hoping for no more alarms. At the moment we have a dry room where we sleep, and the roofing on the bathroom and toilet and a couple of other rooms we're using for storage are also OK. We'll talk in more detail of our future plans for the main building in our forthcoming 'Answers' episode.☔️🇵🇹
Love blue Morning Glories!
Aren't they glorious? They grow like weeds here💚

Lose your home. Why are so many Internet users misspelling that word?
@@vivalaleta so many words tho brutal to jump on that after a comment with such good intent
@@PazLeBon I am one who liked your comment first. I appreciated it or I wouldn't have bothered.
@@vivalaleta it wasnt my comment,
@@vivalaleta why would you comment on someone else's lovely comment. Does it really matter, just an error.
❤❤

Thanks for your support. We're extremely lucky to have avoided the worst of this year's fire season...at least I hope it's all over now!

Sounds like a horrific experience. Be safe! Wishing the best.
Thanks for your concern, Larry. It was enlightening, but luckily never got to the point of us being in any danger.🤞 we never have to experience that!
Prayers for your safety.
Your support is much appreciated, and it looks like the prayers for rain have all been answered too☔️🇵🇹
I hope everything is ok with you😘😘😘😘😘😘🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤭
Everything's fine thanks, and now that we've had some rain at last, it's a huge relief that the fires all over Portugal are all dampening down😀☔️🇵🇹

Do you guys ever plan on living in Portugal full time?
It's a really good question, Larry, and one that we'll address when we do our 'Answers' episode
Hello, a question why do are you not putting a roof on top of your kitchen. I beleive it will keep you dry from the rain and cooler from the sun, thank you,
al fresco style
There will be updates coming very soon which will answer that question!
Whereabouts are you guys ? :)
We're near to the town of Vila Nova de Poiares, which is to the east of Coimbra 😀🇵🇹
@@HotkeysPortugal no way (!?) Thats literally where we have bought our plot, algaca :) Its been 12 months but we are still stuck here in Spain for about 1 month more, we should connect, we will need new 'friends' ;)
That’s not far away at all. Do keep us posted when you move to the area 😀
@@HotkeysPortugal Will do, we will drop you an email ;) Your better half is great clearing the ditches, was thinking she can teach my missus haha In the meantime keep updating us ;)
The thing about the Internet is that you can never be completely sure who you are talking to 😉 You're lucky I've got a sense of humour!
Glad you are safe from the fires.
