      @@portugalitis Dear Andrius you are doing a great job with the roof everything takes time you are working on a ancient style stone house,
      that constructing this roof is probably different to what you are used to
      and also you are working in extreme heat, so take care. The airial views were beaut of stone house. I don't understand to my joke on my favourite beautiful Guffy I don't understand about the reply you sent

      All the forms you've got up along the roof edges looks great. G, kudos to you for getting up on the ladder on your solo day to fill the bottoms of the forms with rocks.
      Your pickles and preserves look terrific 😋. Thanks for showing us how you make your jars of deliciousness. Each jar is like a treasure

    Thanks for sharing another video. U r always very busy . I have to say I can plant and look after the plants. But after harvest I m useless in terms of preserving and pickling. I don't like pickles anyway. Never did since I was a child. Guffy is quote funny. Reminds me of my dog. Sometimes, after I bathed n dried n brushed him he would disappear. A couple hours later, he would reappear, covered in horse manure after spending a couple of happy hours behind the horse stables rolling n frolicking in horse manure. The smell... God! But he was so happy

    Impressive work on the house guys. Thats a lot of work to get the ring beam forms up and get them all perfectly aligned and level. Great job!! It looks great. Are you going to be adding more bracing to the forms? From experience i have had, you can never have too much bracing for the forms to prevent bowing and bursting when pouring and setting the concrete.

    • @portugalitis

Also, I hope you’re using a good sunscreen 😊. G, I really enjoy watching you preserve your veggies. I was wondering what you usually make for dinner to keep your energy up?

But yesterday actually I made spaghetti with chorizo and tomato sauce ... I do cook fish as well and we can eat that for few days ... and some BBQ kebab I done other day but nothing special (she says ) we do work till 11 or 12 and then taking time off till about 6 when it's time to water garden and it's not so hot to be outside this week is extra hot so I think we will go to lake in afternoon and spend time there xxxG

It heats up the house as it has been very hot and humid here, but not as hot as in Portugal 🥵 my husband is Portuguese and I learned a lot of traditional dishes from her and my father in law. I’ve been making a Salade Niçoise Portuguese style with grilled sardines, anything to avoid heating the kitchen. I checked out your Instagram and the food looks delicious. I glad you’re staying safe in extreme heat. Be safe in the sun you both looked very very tan. Thanks for responding, all my best ❤️❤️ to the both of you.

    We were worried about you working up on the roof all by yourself. We were holding out breath.
    Guffy is so funny, first he's swimming and then rolling in the dirt. So funny. Why doesn't Andrew roll around in the dirt after being in the plunge pool?🤣🤣
    Wow, your garden is bursting with food and all the canning you're doing is wonderful. This winter will be filled with great meals at your table.

Such wonderful tasty treats, not like the commercial ones. The garden never fails to impress . Just curious if you will be putting rebar in those ring beams Andrius ? Again thanks for having me over.

Last year I think I bought tomatoes in shop just once .. as I needed one But they are tasteless and I don't want to get them .. so that's why I got so many and caning and drying them so we could eat our own ones as we done last year just this year I will do so much more :)
      And yes we will put rebar of course :)

    G Im very surprised that with Andrius away you didn't sneak some tractor driving practice into the video 😉 🤣🤣
    Before I say anything else, the drone footage at around 2.55 really shows the terrace off and how much hard work you both put into it and it will be a wonderful place to relax in the evening after a long day.
    The shuttering/form work for the beam is coming along very nicely and I can imagine that finding and fitting all those small stones onto the gap was quite tedious and certainly exhausting work climbing the ladder many times,, but as with everything you both do it is well thought out and will only add to the strength of the house.
    One question though, why did Andrius use the small IBC tank as a cool down plunge pool when you have that huge one?
    Be safe kind people, see you both next week

    • @portugalitis
      @portugalitis  4 місяці тому +1

      Hi Scott !!! Andrius takes tractor keys with him wherever he go now ... I AM ONLY JOKING !!!! I am sure I will have some more practice soon ;) we don't use that big tank because we would need about 50000 littles of water .. our boar hole can produce a little bit over 1000 in a day .. so can you imagine how long will take this to fill up? and then we would need to keep it clean and I would like to use that water for watering garden and we can't use chloride then .. and It's just waste of water and energy we think .. and in a future we will make some room from that big irrigation tank as it got perfect straight walls and floor so almost everything is done ;) just need roof and then from that roof we can collect water in a little tank when it will rain Gxxx
