I live in Canada and we use a lot of salt to melt the ice in the winter. The salt does a lot of damage to different types of stone or cement driveways …. The surfaces crumble away over time. I was very successful with using boiling water on my weeds between my paving stones. Some of my friends add vinegar and boil it with the water but I found that just using boiling water worked just fine.
Bonsoir, quel belle balade en vélo. C'est magnifique. Et bravo pour tout le travail que vous faites. Félicitations ça devient magnifique. Bonne soirée a vous deux. MARIA ET PAOLO. 😘
Wòw, well done Christina, for getting rid of the weeds on the patio, its gonna look great,,, that looked like fun, both of you on your electric bikes,, house renovation is coming along James & the wall on your building is looks great & the office walls are coming along nicely, you both have been working very hard, take care, sending love to you both ❤❤❤❤
white vinegar, salt, and washing up liquid mix together a gallon of white vinegar, a small cup of salt and a tablespoon of washing up liquid. Stir well and transfer to a spray bottle for convenient application.
Patio is looking very good. Nice tidy garden once again. The renovation on the house is a massive undertaking. Great work. And you have a wall for your workshop as always you do amazing work . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The best cargo bike in the world, the Fiido t1 pro, I'm not kidding, I now go out camping, go to the grocery store and ride the t1 pro, he carries all the necessities of our family and all my camping gear, for me he is the best!
Wow, you guys are so busy with big changes and great projects. The balcony will be just fabulous. Hey, I was surprised when I stumbled onto the interview you recently did. That was some house journey to get to where you are now. I do hope you stay, because the place is just lovely and will only be more so. It really seems to fit you both so well. Glad to see that nasty bug appears to have left you. Take care!! 🥰🌿♥️
Hi James and Christina, looks like your muti(ginger,etc) has worked...reno, walls, mowing, salted patio, U K, wow...i need tea after watching details! Balcony...brilliant! Take a cutting of that rose! Please, its a sweety.🌹 Dont overdo chores, slowly slowly, etc...
I love both of your imaginations. My OCD is driving me crazy with the green on the ceiling of the shop. Please Please please, pressure wash it! Rant for the day.
My Canadian recipe for weed killer spray…a little faster…4 cups of white vinegar-1\4 cup salt-1 tablespoon of dish soap. Mix it all in a spray bottle….goodbye weeds.❤️🇨🇦

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work, was nice to see you on a digger, did you check this middle balk there where you build the wall it looks totally rusty.
I wouldn’t cut out the door to higher it up & I would cut under the door & windows & tell Christiana to put salt around her plants to keep out snails & slugs
While it's indeed tragic to hear about fires, particularly injuries and lives lost in fires, it's important to avoid exaggerated claims. The report I read mentioned that out of approximately 157,000 fires in London, only 104 were attributed to scooters and e-bikes, with the majority due to incorrect charger usage. Additionally, conversion kits accounted for 40% of these incidents. Even if we round it up to 200, it's not accurate to claim that electric bikes are the primary cause of fires in London, as the fire brigade indicated it's a growing trend, not the leading cause. Cooking appliances actually constitute the majority of fires, but we all use cookers and hobs without alarm. I'm not trying to downplay anything; I just prefer sticking to the facts.
@@The-QuintaThat isn’t the report we got in our paper. London had 6 electric buses go up in flames some months back when parked up in the bus station. China a few weeks ago had the exact same thing. One bus pulling into a bus stop several months ago burst into flames as he came to a stop. Seen episodes both UK and USA of vehicles just bursting into flames, same with the bikes and scooters. Have you seen the acreage of abandoned scooters snd taxis etc in France, China that have been dumped in fields. They can’t get rid of them. Why do you think all the big motor manufacturers are reducing manufacture or stopping completely, these are white elephants. The sales are dismal.
Read your original comment, you said, “I hope you are aware that those electric bikes are causing the most fires in London according to the fire brigade” That statement is simply not true. I stand by what I said! As for electric cars, buses etc that’s a different subject. Along with mobile phones that we are all happy to hold onto as if our lives depended on it. 😉

Ps find the cheapest kitty litter for ur ice:)
Have tried that but our weeds are stubborn. Cat litter is good for ice, but where do I get the ice from 😉
You have so many projects on the go. The patio looks alot cleaner. I love those bikes🙂👍👍🇨🇦
The bikes are brilliant, we use them everyday. Great fun!
The patio is almost weed free.😊👍🏻
Bonsoir, quel belle balade en vélo.
C'est magnifique.

Thank you both for your support. We really do appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 😊
Wonderful,
I love the bikes!! What a beautiful way to enjoy that fabulous countryside.
The place is looking soooo good 👍 but that's a lot of work.
They really are great fun 😊👍🏻

Slowly bit by bit we’re getting there Jayne. Thanks for your love and support. ❤️😊
@@The-Quinta your welcome, I love & enjoy watching your UA-cam videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️
white vinegar, salt, and washing up liquid
mix together a gallon of white vinegar, a small cup of salt and a tablespoon of washing up liquid. Stir well and transfer to a spray bottle for convenient application.
Thanks for the tips! I believe we have tried that 😊👍🏻
I've noticed that roses grow especially well i. Portugal. Many of the vlogs have stunning examples
I thought it was just our green fingers, but now I think about roses definitely grow well where we are. 😊
I use industrial strength vinegar for the pesky weeds that pop up between tight spaces.
What is industrial vinegar I need to get me some of that. 👍🏼
Patio is looking very good. Nice tidy garden once again. The renovation on the house is a massive undertaking. Great work. And you have a wall for your workshop as always you do amazing work . ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Slowly but surely we’re getting there 😊👍🏻

I would agree with you! Very impressed so far and great fun. Definitely changed my view on e-bikes
😊👍🏻
Awesome ❤
Thanks 🤗
Thank You for sharing ❤
You are so welcome 🤗
Glad to see the weather has cheered up a bit
Much better Alex 😎👍🏼

Hi Nicolette, we do seem to of got rid of the pesky bug. Definitely lots going on but we are pacing ourselves. The roses are beautiful. 😊

That’s a good tip about the rock salt!
So far so good 😊

All in good time 😊👍🏼

Hi Dawn, we have tried that but they came back! It does work though 😊👍🏼
Laundry detergent mixed in hot water works well for clearing vegetation growing in pavement seams and cracks.
Hi, we’ve tried that one, for us it didn’t work. 👍🏻😊

Thank you, everything is good 👍🏻
Rock Salt will destroy your patio stonework... it will "pit" all concrete. Humbly, I suggest, any thing else is better.
The patio is coming in up soon
The rock salt could hurt your dogs paw pads. Just a heads up. Cool bike.
I’ll look into that
I wouldn’t cut out the door to higher it up & I would cut under the door & windows & tell Christiana to put salt around her plants to keep out snails & slugs
There’s a reason for everything. We have to take into account what’s happening outside on the patio side of things
I wish you wouldn't wave the camera around so much. It makes watching really difficult x
I was excited, but I’m ok now 😉
We have a place just up the road from you.
Oh really! I love this area, but surprisingly chilly for this time of year
@@The-Quintayes, we are over the hill towards Zambujal.
Ok, I know it but never been there
Gawd, that grass is long. Can you get a loan of your little bro’s tractor?
The tractors fixed now so I can cut it.
The repair coincided with us being in the uk so it wasn’t too much of a problem as I couldn’t do it. 😎👍🏻
Good video! Good bike! Looks like the t1 pro is really powerful!
Thanks Mary, it’s surprisingly powerful! I genuinely would recommend this bike, it’s fabulous 😊👍🏻
I hope you are aware that those electric bikes are causing the
most fires in London according to the fire brigade. They can ignite out of the blue.

Can you try and keep your camara still you swing it round all over the place it sends you dizzy you walk all over the place no need keep still
I can try but can’t promise😉
Don’t you ever wear seat belts? For your safety and front teeth.ha ha wear them please.
They don’t have seat belts on bikes 😉😊
