I asked in a later video what sort of food you ate, because you look amazingly healthy, and here it all is in this video, thank you!! Lots of fresh fruits and veg, meat and fish. Just accidentally found one of your videos and so glad about that. Loving them and totally knocked out with your skills. Now back to the video and learning more.
Will is such a tonic watching him jump through the grass. I’ve been watching your 32 videos plus one in the future over this Easter and it’s been so enjoyable for me. I hope you have every success with your channel Andrew. 🏴
I've been doing a bit of a binge watch. I like the content, the narration and the positive attitude. No one likes mistakes, but no use moaning about it. And why people would be negative is just affecting them. You are a teflon duck 🦆
That’s fantastic news about “the crack” …that it’s really the lack of lintels and not the foundation. You’re doing great work. Thanks for another interesting and entertaining video!
@@rusticcrow Yeah, hopefully the quote will be reasonable! 🙏 If it’s a crazy amount, it seems like you could purchase steel lintels to install yourself, but of course, you would really want to make sure specs of materials are proper for the load and you’d really need to temporarily shore up the weight of the concrete roof using substantial falseworks or temporary posts of some type during the installation. It might be worth paying a structural engineer to inspect and tell you what exact materials are needed and to suggest a temporary shoring solution. But hopefully contractor can get it done for you at a reasonable cost and you can sip tea while you watch! 😎
In the part of Australia I’m in rural properties must have a fire emergency plan, this includes what you’re doing along their boundaries , which we call a fire break. It’s got to be done annually, a lot of work but it does the job.
I just love your energy Andrew. ;) I am due to arrive in Portugal to look for land in early January, and you are a lovely inspiration. I know it is your place, but I got great satisfaction from seeing those electrical posts removed! Thanks for sharing your life with us.
You are very visually oriented to how things appear and work together. Wouldn't that rectangular tank structure make a nice dipping pool to cool off in during the heat of the summer? The trees look so much better without the brambles!
I’m so glad you showed the walk around in the town and that you feel like putting a little effort into this years Christmas, we are only human mate and we are sociable animals…love from little England, you are doing great !
Wow Andrew what an amazing job you’ve done, it’s opened up the land so much. And glad to hear you got the builders out to check your house. And your post has gone! Hurray hurray 🙌🏻 well done with everything you have done so far. 😎👍🏽
How many wells make a river? Andy, you really are a dear soul, with or without your brain being in sync. Nice bit of travel vlog here bit a bit too quick with the panning around. My head spins and it's difficult to get a good look at the surroundings. And you are so right about Christmas ⛄🎄 this year.
Hi Carolle, I’ll learn to slow the panning down. I got used to videoing me but not so much in public. I’ll be going back there and will try again with slower panning.
Great job, making a wonderful difference to the landscape. Bravo. Oh and the segment on the Loule market and surrounding district was very enjoyable, you lucky man.
Ola’ Andrew how about getting a space blanket for the windshield for your bus it would help with the heating 👍. Everything Looking fantastic 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
I MISS LOULE . I WAS JUST THERE IN SEPTEMBER AND NOT SURE WHEN I WILL RETURN . THANKS FOR THE VIDEO IN 50 YEARS I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE AT CHRISTMAS TIME SO THIS WAS REALLY NICE FOR ME TO SEE.
These videos are so enjoyable, Andrew! Thank you for making them! I'm wondering, did the guy who came out actually fix your wood burner? Also, what do you do with the debris of all the stuff you're clearing out? I assume you can't burn it?
Man, I'm enjoying watching this transformation! We've been saving for a couple of years now for a place in Spain, but I really like Portugal as well. If we could find something dirt cheap, without too much work, I could be easily convinced to come to Loule! It looks lovely! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
Maybe when you no longer need the bus to sleep in you can start your own Andrew Safari tours paint the bus white and add black stripes. 😃 I'm still playing playing catchup with your videos always fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures 😃🙏🌻🇬🇧
Love watching your videos, I only came across your channel recently. Very interested to see how you progress through your adventures on your property. Not sure if it is just me or not, but perhaps a suggestion when panning around, try to do it a bit slower as when viewing that much motion it almost starts motion sickness. Just perhaps something to consider. Keep up the great work. Thanks Luis
The Market tour was potentially a longer video but you zoomed through too fast. For viewers, who dont live in Europe, that insight is very interesting.
Thanks for another great video. I think you are living the life most of us could only dream of. How about a cutlass aka machete to cut through those branches. Have a great week 🇨🇦
Another great video Andrew brilliant really good job off clearing your land the little town looks brilliant and I did say in one of your videos don't paint the chimney looks better now though. Stay safe me old mucker 😀
Lol, only started watching recently and yet could have bumped into you on Saturday as i was in Loule for the vaccine. It is a lovely place, but easy to get lost in with all the little streets. will keep watching, very good stuff! i'm in quarteira/ vilamoura area.
Keep going with the good work Andrew Lovely place. My dream is going back to Portugal and get something like that. But at the moment not possible. As i said good work. looking forward for the next video. Till then enjoy my Portugal Mario in Ireland
Yes celebrate life whenever you can! What a wonderful gift life is. Loule is one of the areas I have been doing research on. As a single person I think it would offer a lot of opportunities for socializing and people watching. Plus the market looks great.
This video was so satisfying to watch, specially when you cleared water tank area, it looks so lovely and opened up the space. Please show that area again Andrew because I think after you cleared last part you didn't put it on video. Looking forward to seeing same make over of well area.
Hi Andrew...Great week,very satisfying to see the tank area cleared . There must have been good reason why they abandoned the well.? Good news about roof repairs .
That looks like a nice little town. The market must be quite nice when it's bustling. Are Christmas lights common in portugal? Will this house be your forever home? It looks like such a beautiful property. I guess that if you removed the power poles, you will run solely on solar? 🙂👍👍👍👍👍🌲🌲🌲
They do make an effort with Christmas lights here. They are religious and don’t scrimp in that department. I ran the electricity under ground to the house. Long term I hope, no plans to move. 👍
Can you get some attachments for your weedeater you can take that head off They make heads trimmers and chainsaw attachments you can mount it right on that shaft I have a landscape company and we switch out attachments on that exact weedeater Would be a good investment it only have two screws and it come right off 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
Not sure with this Stihl. If they do then I’ll check it out. I’ve seen other brands you can do that with. I have a whole list of things I need but just holding back for a bit so I don’t go wild on the spending.
Hello Andrew , I'm finally caught up on all your videos and Subscribed. Please be careful going down into the well. Take the tractor down there with you and get a long rope to tie it to the tractor and around you , so if there is a cave in and you fall the tractor and rope will save you . Also call your brother to let him know you are going to work on the well and that you will call him when your done , so if he doesn't hear from you by dark to come look for you at the well.. I don't want anything bad happening to you. I'm like you when it comes to Christmas , I love to see my. grandkids enjoying it but it's not for me anymore , plus Christmas day is also my birthday, not looking forward to turning 60 this year . I wish you a Merry Christmas and Keep on making the videos , I love watching them .. give Burt and Will lots of loving. See you next video.
" *16:21** That seems a big cut* " " *How man centimetres was that cut can you tell me?* " Sorry I was sleepy, I meant to write: How many centimetres was that cut? The one we can see at that cork tree, at the minute 16:21 People should avoid cutting above 15cm of diameter and not cut more than 1/3 of living branches (from this perspective it seems you cut half of them). I'm sorry to tell you this above, it's just because you seem to have a quite amount of cork trees (that's good) and it's advisable to learn good ways how to manage them before doing anything about them (they are protected by law)... good quality cork can provide you an extra income. Have a nice work
The one branch was dangerously over hanging the house and part of it was dead. I assume the previous owner had damaged it and left it dangerously split right at that point. I took no chances, the dogs and I walk under it. These trees haven’t been maintained in yrs. A tree surgeon will trim all cork tress not me. So many dead branches, but still waiting for the guy to turn up. All the Cork trees will be properly looked after and hopefully as you say, get a small income every 8-10 yrs.
Hi Andrew, love your channel. Just want to ask if they charged you to remove the posts from the site? We bought a property and have one in front of the house...
Hi Andrew, have you thought of solar reflective paint for the bus roof? It should cut down the condensation a lot and it’s relatively cheap to buy and easy to use, keep up the good work
Hi Nigel, I haven’t but will look into it. I need the heat on the roof in winter but if it reflects heat in summer that could be useful. Either that or I can use the sun shade over it. 👍
Not this one, it was part of an old rotten tree. Nailed the base on from another bit of cork lying around. Bee interesting to see one that was a beehive, maybe I can make one or two from the rest of the dead tree that needs clearing.
Having just discovered you channel, I was surprised that you haven't got a playlist. If you haven't produced a playlist because your to busy that would be a good enough reason. Having started at the beginning you haven't mention how much the property cost. I sure many of your subscribers are dreaming of moving to Portugal and the price could be another enticement.
Hi Nigel, the price is in the video I did a few weeks ago all about the house. Reg the playlist, I haven’t really worked out what it does. I assumed it categorises the vids but I have them numbered. When we go into 2022 I will have a playlist for this year and next year, if of course I’m understanding it properly.
Be careful of removing too much natural vegetation please. Leave the leaf litter in the soil. Bare soil is poor soil. Try chipping your woody plant material and wood vines, and spread over the bare soil you cleared.
Hi Andrew! I just came across your channel and have been enjoying your content (yes, I've subscribed). There is another UA-cam channel that does similar work to what you're doing. They're located further north in Portugal near Serta and are restoring the house on their property and starting to work their land. They also have a water tank similar to yours and made a few videos on it. They're called Eco and Beyond: ua-cam.com/users/EcoandBeyond
Hi Salsa, thanks and welcome. I don’t watch much other UA-camrs though I’m aware of them. I don’t pay much attention because I don’t want to be influenced or follow trends. And more realistically, I just don’t have the time. I’m just doing my thing, being myself and hopefully putting stuff up that people will enjoy. Maybe one day I’ll meet up with them and I can see what they are doing. Thanks for subscribing and watching 👍
Just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your channel, I am binge watching to catch up - I love what you are creating 😀
Good to hear you being so upbeat and it makes you look very happy! Keep it up!
Love the pretty piano music. 👍
I just love you're energy
I asked in a later video what sort of food you ate, because you look amazingly healthy, and here it all is in this video, thank you!! Lots of fresh fruits and veg, meat and fish.

LOVED your pointer hunting in the long grass, dogs are in heaven with all that space to roam😉🐾🐾🐾
Will is such a tonic watching him jump through the grass. I’ve been watching your 32 videos plus one in the future over this Easter and it’s been so enjoyable for me. I hope you have every success with your channel Andrew. 🏴
I've been doing a bit of a binge watch.
I like the content, the narration and the positive attitude.
No one likes mistakes, but no use moaning about it.
And why people would be negative is just affecting them.
You are a teflon duck 🦆
That’s fantastic news about “the crack” …that it’s really the lack of lintels and not the foundation. You’re doing great work. Thanks for another interesting and entertaining video!
It is good news, just hope the quote is good next. Thank you, I hope I can keep the content more and more interesting and entertaining.
@@rusticcrow Yeah, hopefully the quote will be reasonable! 🙏 If it’s a crazy amount, it seems like you could purchase steel lintels to install yourself, but of course, you would really want to make sure specs of materials are proper for the load and you’d really need to temporarily shore up the weight of the concrete roof using substantial falseworks or temporary posts of some type during the installation.

Thank you, it was fun watching them pull the posts out.
We need a drone shot of the property 😊 would be fun
Yes, I’m saving up for one. It’ll add another good view point.
You are very visually oriented to how things appear and work together. Wouldn't that rectangular tank structure make a nice dipping pool to cool off in during the heat of the summer? The trees look so much better without the brambles!
The land is beginning to look as if it belongs to someone who cares about it.
I’m so glad you showed the walk around in the town and that you feel like putting a little effort into this years Christmas, we are only human mate and we are sociable animals…love from little England, you are doing great !
Thanks Mark.
Wow Andrew what an amazing job you’ve done, it’s opened up the land so much. And glad to hear you got the builders out to check your house. And your post has gone! Hurray hurray 🙌🏻 well done with everything you have done so far. 😎👍🏽
Thanks Andrew.
My "not so distant neighbour" you are a hard worker ... Festas Felizes Vizinho 🤗
Obrigado 👍🍻

Thanks. I’ll be adding more content outside the house bit by bit. 👍
Andrew, that's the "Holding Tank". Cheers.
Thanks Adrian, the name completely disappeared in my head. Had several of those moments this week. Including ‘shrubs’. 👍
‘Bramble’
Really enjoying your positivity!
Gees you make me tired just watching you, I think your amazing well done and hello from Australia
Ola’ Andrew how about getting a space blanket for the windshield for your bus it would help with the heating 👍. Everything Looking fantastic 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️
There’s an idea.
I MISS LOULE . I WAS JUST THERE IN SEPTEMBER AND NOT SURE WHEN I WILL RETURN . THANKS FOR THE VIDEO IN 50 YEARS I HAVE NEVER BEEN THERE AT CHRISTMAS TIME SO THIS WAS REALLY NICE FOR ME TO SEE.
I’ll show you more over next week or two. Night time with the lights 👍
Looking good, mate. Hi from Oslo.
Hi Oslo 👍😎
These videos are so enjoyable, Andrew! Thank you for making them! I'm wondering, did the guy who came out actually fix your wood burner? Also, what do you do with the debris of all the stuff you're clearing out? I assume you can't burn it?
The property is looking good Andrew. You will be having such a good bonfire with all the scrub you have cleared out. Cheers Kym
Great clearing job, you a one man wonder with that strimmer, Stihl should sponsor you 🤣🤣🤣
Man, I'm enjoying watching this transformation! We've been saving for a couple of years now for a place in Spain, but I really like Portugal as well. If we could find something dirt cheap, without too much work, I could be easily convinced to come to Loule! It looks lovely! 🔥🧨💪🏽🤠👍🏽🧨🔥
There are some beautiful spots here. And great events ‘normally’.
I was hoping you were aware of danger being in that well😳😬 Good luck keep your phone on you in that hole ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Very very aware. Thanks for concern.
Maybe when you no longer need the bus to sleep in you can start your own Andrew Safari tours paint the bus white and add black stripes. 😃 I'm still playing playing catchup with your videos always fun to watch. Thank you for sharing your adventures 😃🙏🌻🇬🇧

It was really nice to meet you in person yesterday Andrew. Another great video ... I'm glad you managed to get something done after we left!
Hi Tracy, you too. Be nice in mag lol. I got a couple a couple of hrs in. I’l email that short vid soon.
@@rusticcrow Thanks Andrew. That would be great.
You have a very lovely property.. Just love the view.. Great job on clearing it..
Another week of progress 🙌
Little by little
cistern? Place is looking so ready for a veggie garden!
Really looking forward to the first veg I plant. Need to plan that so I don’t make too many mistakes.
The Market tour was potentially a longer video but you zoomed through too fast. For viewers, who dont live in Europe, that insight is very interesting.
Will try and slow things down on future trips. I’m forever dashing around and sometimes forget to slow it down for the vids 👍
Goodmoning Andrew, another wonderful video. Gees you work hard! Take care
Thanks Andrew that was fun. Having travelled all my life I sooooooooooo miss it now. Have just put Portugal on my list…….
Looking good
I was just at that market last month. I own a place in Lagos but thinking about some land 30 minutes in from the beach.
Mate just get same goat's or shiep, all the best carry on good est of this week.
Concrete bath...
Thanks for another great video. I think you are living the life most of us could only dream of.
How about a cutlass aka machete to cut through those branches.
Have a great week 🇨🇦
Thank you and hello Canada
Another great video Andrew brilliant really good job off clearing your land the little town looks brilliant and I did say in one of your videos don't paint the chimney looks better now though. Stay safe me old mucker 😀
You did sir Brian, but you didn’t say why. That little bit of clearing every week is really starting to make a difference. 👍
Lol, only started watching recently and yet could have bumped into you on Saturday as i was in Loule for the vaccine. It is a lovely place, but easy to get lost in with all the little streets. will keep watching, very good stuff! i'm in quarteira/ vilamoura area.
Say hi if you spot me, I’m often floating around your neck of the woods.😎👍
@@rusticcrow Cheers mate i think it's a cisterna, great programme.
Great progress! Things are really taking shape.
Keep going with the good work Andrew Lovely place. My dream is going back to Portugal and get something like that. But at the moment not possible. As i said good work. looking forward for the next video. Till then enjoy my Portugal Mario in Ireland
Thanks Mario. 👍
Hi Andrew, Why you don't do swimming pool on your tank. Youll have fun in your QUINTA.
Too far from the house unfortunately. I will be adding a plunge pool next to the house. 👍
Yes celebrate life whenever you can! What a wonderful gift life is. Loule is one of the areas I have been doing research on. As a single person I think it would offer a lot of opportunities for socializing and people watching. Plus the market looks great.
You are amazing Andrew... thanks for the update 👍🧣
Ah, thanks Celia
This video was so satisfying to watch, specially when you cleared water tank area, it looks so lovely and opened up the space. Please show that area again Andrew because I think after you cleared last part you didn't put it on video. Looking forward to seeing same make over of well area.
Very satisfying seeing it gradually transform. Oops, I’ll have a walk through there so you can see in next vid.
Some mighty progress Andrew. The cement thingy,....Cistern ?, will make a good plunge pool, or raised garden. 🤔
Did ponder on that, shame it’s too far from the house.
What a beautiful marquet where is it?
Hi Andrew...Great week,very satisfying to see the tank area cleared . There must have been good reason why they abandoned the well.?
Good news about roof repairs .
The house has been empty for over 40 yrs. I’m hoping it’s only neglect. Finding out this week.
@@rusticcrow Always look forward to your vlog.

Your "umbrella stand" is an old beehive!

Cistern, perhaps?
You gonna have more tables and chairs on your land, than the wedding venue of Harry & Meghan 🥁
Ha ha
Cistern
Dogs staring at you? It can meen they sense a Fox or a javali or other animal of médium size.
Scratches on arms and legs! Cutting the weeds I had them a lot also anyway it looks amazing when it's gone
What's the beef with Leroy Merlin? Maybe you explain in a later video
Call it " BY THE WATERHOLE PARK"
your stove pipe on roof is not tall enuff up why smoke in side the draft part
Be careful of removing too much natural vegetation please. Leave the leaf litter in the soil. Bare soil is poor soil. Try chipping your woody plant material and wood vines, and spread over the bare soil you cleared.
