    We also prefer the sawmill for lumber but I also understand the desire to just get on with the work. Your bed is much better construction than anything from the big box stores. Great work!

    Don't ever apologise for your workmanship. You are doing great, and you are doing it all yourself. We very much enjoy your videos, you keep it real. No arrogance or pretensions, no showy stuff. Just 2 people trying to create and live your best life.

    What a great memory to have of being with your Dad. Being Irish, I know how valuable a 10 shilling note was. A fortune. Great video

      Thanks for watching. It was true that a 10-shilling note was a lot back then. How times have moved on hahaha

    Thanks for taking us along to Tomar and having a peek around. That"s a very handsome bed platform you built yourself, and it looks like it works a treat. Yes, folks in our demographic have earned the luxury of not having to wake and get up from the floor. Your room looks nice, conducive to resting.
    Idk if u saw it, and you likely saved loads of euros making your own, Ikea does have a bed platform where the box part that the mattress rests in is on hydraulics so you can easily lift it up to directly access your storage boxes underneath... IF you ever need another bed platform and wish to avoid fishing under topull out storage boxes out..
    Your strimmer was taken while you were away in the UK??! Good idea of yours to have a place to secure your work things.
    I've seen other homesteaders pile on the (cement) mix in blobs then flatten the pile with the edge of the trowel to help push the mix into cracks/pockets then after pat it with the flat side and finally smooth the surface... it this might be helpful.
    Also there are storage boxes with wheels that roll out easily.

    Good job with your bed. We might pinch your design because it looks nice and sturdy and we are both pretty sturdy people. Thanks for a great video. Brian & Diane ❤

    You guys are doing great! Sorry about the strimmer. That’s very unusual to happen in Portugal. We live up north just south of vila nova de Cerveira and pretty much leave our doors open most of the time. Anyway, the shed idea is a good one. And we love the painting of your house. I’m sure you will enjoy the journey. If you guys ever journey to the north, let us know. We would love to meet UA-cam celebrities!!! And tell stories.
    Enjoy!

      That is a very kind offer. And they are some very sensible comments. Are you guys on UA-cam?

    Labour of love m8.I'm sure you'll reap the benefits when it's complete and hopefully you and the wife will enjoy the building process just as much.

      Thank you for that. We actually do get satisfaction from our endeavours

    Congrats on your labors. A bed off the floor is big for people our age. The secure lock up area is great. Less worries. I am still very angry about the electric. I feel like they are just messing with you. Have you spoken to the cities council about these issues? Why do they not just do that work them selves??? It is beyond ridiculous now. I pray and send good vibes your way on getting it asap.
