Andrew, best to have it X-rayed and checked out. Then you know how to treat it, and you won't get into trouble for something more serious. Good luck!
100K Andy! That means you're getting your silver youtube plaque soon!!!!
Hi Andy . Toes can break . Ice ,elevation and Strap the toe to the next one 🦶 to splint it
How often do you give us a video of your wonderful stories…Your life seems so fulfilling with the creativity you show us…
Yep it's broken, you've done the right thing by strapping it to the other toe. Elevate it as much as possible will help swelling subside but that will take a while. Yes normal with broken toe to have a lovely dark bruising on top of foot.
Even put foot in cool water if there's such a thing in Portugal, give it some relief from swelling.
Like the personalized colours on your bike. Like you was not a fan of red. Love from New Zealand.
As a longtime fan of this channel who's watched almost every video (and quite a few videos produced via the host's relatives), I'd rather my first post to have been naught but sunshine and rainbows. So, that typed...
I look forward to and appreciate your videos. I've no idea how or why I came across your channel, but am glad that I did. The first video I watched was a home renovation timelapse - and may have been on your extended family's channel. The timing must've been spot on, because it stuck.
Watching your videos has been a salve for cloudy times and helped motivate me (as they have others). You're only a little older than I am and, from what you've shared, our lives have parallels (it's an odd series of coincidences) - minus my having a sibling I'm close to in another country and making a large change. I've been in a bit of a fog (this is the epitome of understatements) for several years regarding, well, everything. It's baffling, as who I am today is a complete left turn from the entirety of the rest of my life. Now back to rainbows...
I hope this post finds you well. Thank you for indirectly inspiring me and bringing positivity and some Portuguese sunlight into my life. My hope is that this inspiration and motivation continues and leads to my "fog" clearing. All the best!
Aside: Toes can be broken - and I advise anyone experiencing this issue to ensure they're set properly. If broken toes aren't addressed and heal improperly, it can limit your mobility, cause lifelong annoyance/pain and potentially become a welcome mat for other issues (yes, I'm aware this is common sense - all apologies). If a toe or [insert favorite bone parts here] heals improperly, well, the path to fixing it may not be a happy stroll on a lovely Portugal beach. Take care of yourselves, everyone!
This is a really strange one-off post for me. I don't do this, but here we are.
Edit: One of the aspects of the content you produce that I appreciate is how relatable, honest and genuine you come across as. You've also become adept at editing, which doesn't hurt. Ha. Oh, and I love dogs. Mine say, "hi." Hope you feel better.
Also, the bike is looking nice. I look forward to seeing how it evolves. I'm looking at a new one myself (a type I've never owned suited for longer distances and surviving off the beaten path).
Here's to the hope that the "fog" continues to clear and you continue to get better. You are absolutely correct when saying Andy provides inspiration and motivation. Sometimes we have to be reminded that not everything has to be done in one day but rather take each day one by one and enjoy the journey. Best wishes to you and of course all the best to Andy and the boys!
@@nwicconsultants6640 Many thanks!
The motorbike looks sick! I wish I could ride it for a minute.
Yep, toes do break. I broke a couple of them in the past. Not much they can do about it. Tying them together like you did, is indeed the best option. And what the nurse in the comments said: take some ibuprofen for the pain and inflammation. Good luck.
And great colour.
Poor you 😞, Hope you feel better soon. I know how it feels, I fell down the stairs while on Holiday and my toe has a crack, They just said rest it. Was not sure on the paint job, But now i think it's going to look cool. Nice job. Take care.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andrew, use ice on your feet to get the swelling down if you don't have it go to the bar or the beach cold water. And put your feet on a stool when you are sitting this also helps, get better soon.
Bike looks good, floor looks great, toe looks painful. You are a star in that heat. Bravo!
I've broken my toes more than once. There is nothing you can do about it, but if it's pointing in a completely different direction, you might need a doctor to straighten the joint. I guess it depends on whether your foot hurts in your boots. Elevate your foot and ice.
Suggestion: double the number of plug sockets. It never fails that you'll want more than you've got. Better to have them and not need them.
Take care of your poor foot. I'm sorry you're in pain. If the ice bag doesn't help, fill a bowl with some water and load it with ice. Stick the whole foot in. 👍
Hi Andrew
We like watching you being real and authentic. Great work in the detailing. Agree with previous comments.
As for your toe, it could be dislocated. My mother had a similar incident many years ago. She didn't go to the doctor for 2 weeks until she couldn't bear the pain any longer. She had an Xray done and the toe had healed but in the wrong position. The Dr had to break her toe and reset it. She was grateful that it healed properly and is pain free. So better get your foot sorted out by professionals. They know best.
Wrapping the toe is the best support. Probably all the doctor would do as well. Ice and feet up will help the swelling. See you next week. ❤️🇨🇦
Oh Andy!... Take care of yourself, and rest. Get well soon. See you next week.
Hey Andrew, Thxs for another great video - clips. edits, music, storyline flowed like butter :) Heads up about your toe - recommend you get an x-ray to see what's broken (or dislocated) esp as you may have fractured your toe ray (bones inside the flesh of your foot -- the area that's swelling up). I injured mine by stomping on a shovel too vigorously at a weird angle, while in flipflops) and then ignored it for 11 days before getting it checked; Doc scolded me as it could have resulted in surgery and 3 months to heal. However it's healing up great now, here's the key: a sturdy, well-fitting sandal with a flat, very stiff sole and enough front "bumper" to protect the toe from getting bumped. Elevate and rest whenever it hurts (a lot in the first 10 days). I know it's a hassle but having healthy feet and good mobility to hold you up your whole life is entirely important, so don't wait. You are worth it! Also, nice bike :) Cheers, Lee
Oooh love the bike colour, much cooler then red. BUT boy ..those toes, check it out, before it seems like it looks ! Then, you can move on and no worries. Wish you good recovery 💪
Great job on the bike! The new color scheme on the bike reminds me of an elegant wasp, or maybe hornet.
I'll join the chorus of those telling you to go see a doctor & get that toe x-rayed. You got lucky with your wrist: sometime there are things they can do; and when that happens, you really need those things.If the toe starts to heal with the bones misaligned, they'll have to re-break and reset it- & the sooner they do that, the less time (& pain) it'll take to heal completely.
Hi Andy, your floor is looking great,❤ sorry you have hurt your foot,😢 if you have broken your toe, 😢 there realy is nothing the doctors or hospital can do, just strap it up like you have & ice pack it & put your foot up at night, I've broken a few of my toes & just done another the other day 😢 your bike looks amazing, plz take care ❤❤❤❤❤
Nice color on the bike👌
Caballero means gentleman or knight. Very cool
Wishing you all the best with your toe and ankle. I am glad you buddy taped it. Take good care. Everything is coming along so nicely.
You need to mulch much thicker round your fruit trees in that heat. Some tree has no mulch at all. Mulch will keep the roots cool and moisture in.
100k subscribers, cheers. I always enjoy your content. 🎉
Finally I've caught up to real time on your vids Andy whoop whoop! And you're still going strong, albeit with a crooked toe. Bloomin' impressive. Enjoy your enforced slow down, I'm sure some jaunts down to the beach and into the water will help get your foot feeling better :-)
Strap it to the bigger toe next to it straighten it up first though might be a bit painful but if I can do it so can you. Good luck 🍀🍀 PS I’m an 80 yr old woman and did mine about 5 yrs ago. That’s all that the hospital does too.
your bandaging your injured toe to the larger toe next to it is exactly what a medic would do. hope you mend quickly ~
If you can find some Comfrey, grab a bunch ( and a cutting or two), it's old name was "Knitbone", and I can testify to its properties!
Comfrey really works! Comfrey gel is available in pharmacy, it's miraculous.
If you've got some Popsicle sticks, the wooden ones, you can straighten your toe and put one on either side, and strap the toe into place with non-elastic sticky plaster used for wounds. R&R urgently required with leg elevation and lots of salt water for buoyancy.
Your foot injury is a good reason to do more R&R at the beach. Gotta let the ol toes heal a bit. Stay cool. Love your channel and your vids. Excellent editing, BTW.
look after yourself, we are all rooting for you, continue making your excellent videos when you are well, good luck and my wife Maureen and I look forward to seeing you soon. dogs and lovely.
Andy always remember the PRICE - Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression & Elevation, so basically get back to the beach, go swimming (salt water good for wounds) and please take us with you 😁
Time off only i hope. Hoping you didn't hurt yourself too much. Wish you a speedy recovery and lots of cool sea swims.
Thanks for the new video, I always look forward to watching them. Such hard work doing things on your own & extremely difficult in that heat - well done!
We'd renovated our home in Spain & it was 40° so we know what it's like, hats off to you 🙏💜
Blonde guy on a blonde bike! Now that's going to be wonderful site.
Oh dear 😞 Andrew. Epsom salt soaks for avoiding infection and get some athletic tape for that poor roe. Bad luck! I hope you heal fast. I broke my big toe in a soccer game and it took a solid 6 weeks before I could walk properly. Spend some quiet time with your lovely boys
Winter here in Melbourne lucky you Andy ☀️ bike looks fantastic 🦘
Hope all is well. It’s such a pleasure to watch your progress - we might forget that you need time off!!! And to take care of yourself - hope the foot is healing
The bike is looking Awesome! The colors are cool, and the seat and new color look great together. I’m enjoying your UA-cam channel. Each week I can’t wait until it comes out. I’ve watched a lot of your content. I’m enjoying the house as it progresses. Good thoughts and energy to your healing.
Hi 🙋♀️ Andy I hope the foot is getting better... There is nothing like picking your own fruit off the trees. A freshly picked lemon 🍋 or orange 🍊 really does smell, and taste divine...KEEP COOL 😎🌞
You're amazing. Take it easy. 🙂
The new color combo for the bike looks great!
Bike looks awesome, unlike your toe! Get well soon, loving the videos as always 🎉
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
You should elevate your foot as much as possible and cool with ice pack of some sort to reduce the swelling.
It has been 44c - 46c most of June and July where I live. You have to relax, drink plenty of fluid and eat light meals. The heat does make injuries swell more.
Bike looks good, toe not so much! I broke my toe once by jamming it into the corner of a brick planter. My friend who is an ER nurse said to do just what you did. She said they don’t do anything much for toes in the ER but tape them together for support. If, however, you’ve broken a bone further up in your foot, you do want to make sure that heals properly or you could have long term issues. Be safe!
Aww I liked the red on the bike ! And I’d certainly have kept it at €80 to change it !! It looks like it’s still waiting to be sprayed 😂
I miss my Portugal, mate enjoy it for me specially now in the summer, greetings from uk
Yes it sounds like you broke your toe.🫵
See if they have toe brace in the drugstore.
Your property is gorgeous, and so will your house.
Enjoy down time and your puppies.👍👋🇺🇸
They have to be the luckiest dogs on the planet for sure 😊
Indeed, toes can be broken. A good rule is that if it swells, it is broken. Go seek help. Or bandage it straight to immobilize it, use ice, ibuprophen helps with the pain.
Hope you feel better soon love the bike.
One late night got home from the city and took off my boots & left them next to my bed. Still drunk I got up from bed to use rest room, trip on the boots and broke more than one toe. Thanks to duct tape it healed well, but the pain was unreal.
Good to see you taking some time off. Doing some lighter work! It's all coming together nicely! Take care of your foot and have a nice week!
Great that you have all that land at the back to ride the bike on - from watching previous video's I think you can ride for miles!!
Andrew yes you can break a toe you should have your foot checked with X-ray. You might need a moon boot which will make it easier to get around. Glad the floor is complete except for the edge and tiles. Everything is moving quickly now. Enjoy the down time 😊
Jeez Louise, that foot looks awful 😱. You're right though, unless there's broken bones there's not much you can do. Ice packs, ibuprofen, elevation and rest are the best ways to heal it.
LOVING the new colour combinations on your bike 👌.
Love bike's new color combination! 👍👍
That's a broken toe, tape and keep it up and put some ice on it , takes about 6 weeks to heal fully. Bike already looks nice.
That's a nice colour you painted your bike. It does remind me of sand
When i broke mine i used half inch masking tape to wrap around a few times, more flexible than plastic tape and easier to remove/replace, love the channel
Your foot is really bruised. You should get an xray. Maybe a boot cast will help with walking. Those things are great. I have one. I've had to use it for a couple of bad ankle sprains. Couldn't walk otherwise. Take it easy.🙂👍🇨🇦🐕🐕
Oh Andy, I think that toe is broken! Ouch! Your bike is looking great now you've customized it to your colours, the red was very bright wasn't it. Take care of your ankle and poor toe xx
Bike looks much better now.
Love the changes to the bike! Every week a little more progress, going to be very beautiful when you are done! And hot it is - summer in Portugal - beach is the best place!
Love the colour of the tank and the seat😍 About your foot, toe, hip, ribs.... 🥴 It could mess up your back again too. Don't want to be a spoiler🙈 Let it check out for sure, get some pain medication and take it slowwww. Get well and hope it all will heal fast and good. 🍀🍀🍀🍀
The Bike looks great, your vibe for sure. ✌️
Hi Andrew, hope your foot will be ok soon. It's wise of you to pace yourself, you will get the home you want be it sooner or later. Be great to get a toilet fitted and a kitchen sink in to use while working on the rest of the house and better still if you can sort of move in before the winter sets in, even if jobs still need doing
Please take care Andrew and have that tow checked out!!! Toes can be broken and fractured and sprained 😮
Loving your safety flip flops😁
Sorry to hear you had an accident, hope it heals quickly. I broke my toe just walking down a carpeted indoor staircase! Don't suffer - take pain relief. Btw bike looks great.
Get well soon mate, love the new colour of the bike, awesome 👏👊
Your house ist becoming a beautiful home now. The light floods in, and the rooms are proportional. It's totally dry inside now, and showing off your expert construction work. The property is also looking so much better after all the hard work you have done. Love your dogs, Love watching your videos! Please take care of yourself as well. Greetings from Bavaria
Look after your foot. Loving the new colour scheme on the bike.
Love the videos, absolutely admire your painstaking attention to detail in everything that you do. It's very inspiring, and not something we see that often these days, especially in the trades. But I did have to question myself, as I sat and watched intently a grown man putting a plaster on his toes😂
Hi Andrew. Bike looks great. Too bad about the toe, homeopathic arnica 👍🏻
With the fruit trees - see if you can get some carpet off cuts and put them round the base of the trees (avoiding touching the trunk) and soak the carpet. Orange trees have very shallow roots and they are obviously getting fried. Limes are much harder to grow in hot dry climates than oranges. I am in Perth western Australia where the climate is pretty well identical to you in Portugal and I struggled to get limes through the summer - tree 3 made it, but it was hard work
Sunday night here in Western New York and in the absence of a new video we're hoping you and your toe are well! 🥺 That's the most important thing, of course - and we very much look forward to the next post. "Stay positive and look after yourself", Andy! 👊😉
Hey, Yep unfortunately had to stop everything when it got too uncomfortable.
@@blondguy Well, you're pretty dexterous, but using one's feet to edit is a new talent to me! 🤪 I can understand the discomfort.(Levity. It's levity. Heal up soon.) Honored to have your response. ✌️🤓
@@blondguy exactly right and best move. be cautious in the heat! can be deadly. here in south carolina upstate US mainland our temps are exactly the same as there in the Algarve this time of year. and the humidity is an extra kicker here. just a few days ago we reached 105 degrees Fahrenheit with a real feel temp of 115 counting for humidity levels. just unbearable. especially working outside which you pretty much are doing there in the house. we will see you when safer weather permits!! until then plenty of great episodes to watch again. take care!!
I had a dislocated little toe, not broken, but required surgery, so you should get it checked out. Their main concern was whether an artery was compromised. It wasn't but it did need a steel pin eventually.
Hi Andy, The bike looks fantastic ! And congrats on getting most of the floor laid. As for the toe, I would do what has been suggested and tape it, the hospital won't do much, I can testify to that having broken one of my middle toes.After sitting 6 hours in AE they just taped it @#**. Could've done it myself !!
Also why don't you put an island in ? or an L shaped counter top ? set it back from a nice glass paneled door, put a nice sink in it .. Still able to see the view and the garden. As You're the one adding the plumbing you can decide where everything goes.
I look forward to seeing those drawings & hopefully some modeling on the computer. Also, anticipating the eventual tiles. I fell on my side yesterday, too-wasps attacked my hand & the fall bummed my leg and kinda my head🤕😂 Your toe looks like a bit of a fracture, tho they do heal eventually, it can keep that bend anyway! 😜 Thanks, Keep cool & take care!
Hi Andrew, love the show 🇬🇧 🇵🇹
So sorry you bashed the ankle, you've inspired me to relay my patio pavers and to do it right this time. You made the leveling look so easy. 😁👍💓💕💞
As for your foot, keep it moving and flexing , had to tough out a similar injury, get well soon!
If you've used 1k lacquer on your tank, be careful not to get fuel spilled onto it as it'll mark it. Looks good so far, but looking forward to seeing it when it's complete. Hope your toe gets better soon 🤕👍
Truly loving your colour choices on the bike!! Yes, you can break toes. Usually there's not much to do about it, but the swelling is concerning. Might be an idea to prop your foot up a few times next day or so, see how things are looking? Sorry you fell, but so glad it wasn't worse!! Hope you're feeling much better soon :)
Hi there good friend, it will take about ten days for the toe to knit strongly. Wearing those plastic shoes limits the swelling to the ankle region. Over night the swelling will distribute naturally. You will need an elastic type BandAid that comes on a small roll here in USA. Cheers!
Go get that all looked at by a professional. You rely on your physical fitness so take care of you as a priority. If it means down time. So be it. Let's do a vlog about about how the well is doing. Taking the dogs for a we all on your bike, coffee at the local cafe, visiting your brother, going to the beach, touristy place of interest. Anything! And stay of the foot!
Thank you for a new video, that I can watch under the blanket. 7:30 pm here.
Quality Andy😊 I Never thought I’d see the day when someone changed anything from Ferrari Red to Beige,,,👍
Beige is the new Black😳🤗👍👍,,,,,,,,,, And it does look way, way better👍👍
I was 63 on Friday 19th and am working on a Lead roof on a church ,,,,,,, under a temporary corrugated steel roof with reinforced plastic around the scaffold😢
It’s literally like being in an oven ,,,,,,so I feel your pain!!!
It’s 10 degrees less here in Deer ol’ Blighty but it’s never pleasant doing ANY BUILDING WORK when it gets above 25C
So take it easy,,,,,,,, and have an extra 10 mins on the beach🎉😊
Hope you're foot and side get better
Happy you finished most of the concrete on the floor
Can't wait to see the house when it's finished
So good luck with everything
Most likely dislocated bone in your toe. Same happened to me but i corrected it IMMEDIATELY before the pain set in.
A great attitude in place now. Take it easy, lots of motorcycling to the beach and dog time.
Ah .. I did much the same… jogged down the garden path and landed on a garden hose connector … snapped the little toe bone… 6 weeks later and hospital visits… I’m walking again… moral of the story… do it right or keep kidding yur self….😊
Be carefully buddy.....an Xrayed to be sure is better.
Take it easy👍💫🤛
Wow that foot look very painful, I hope it gets better soon. I bet it is roasting where you are. It’s been in the 90’s in New England and it has been rough. I can’t imagine how hot it is.
Loving the bike 🏍️
Broke my toe 2 days before my wedding 53 years ago and spent my honeymoon in flip flops LOL. You’re right, they’ll can’t do anything about a broken toe … mine’s still crooked. But I would keep an eye on the rest of your foot for any possible broken bones.
Andy, looks like a broken metatarsal & toe. Please get an xray! ❤
The bike looks great. 👍
Oh Andrew! 😖😫 I know that pain so well. Looks like for sure you broke that toe! Take it from a girl who severely sprained and ankle and broke several toes, there is nothing they will do for you except tape them to another toe like you did, elevate and ice it. After a few weeks, when it finally has mended some, you have to be cautious because it will take several months before it begins to feel normal again. The pain will still be there but less intense. Sending you a 🤗
Hi Andy, I'm sorry to hear about the foot injury 😬 Please do us a favor... go to the hospital (I know it's boring🙄, but it's better😉) there they will do an x-ray, to detect/locate the(s) fracture(s), and immobilize the finger(s) in the correct position 🤗
