    "Hi Sinead" 👋👋👋🤣
    Great to see Kerry's build. I made an insect screen like that for my window - I bought inexpensive softwood battens, and made two matching size frames, and stretched insect cloth across one, then screwed the second frame on top, sandwiching the screen cloth between the frames. I was able to then drill through the sides of the double frame, into the walls, and fix it in place that way.

    I believe that is a Linden tree, Tília, in Portuguese. They give great shade and tea. It will send out a lovely perfume two months out of the year. I’m growing one myself. They take a long time to grow, but once they do, they become huge trees. They are a symbol of truth and justice. One can’t tell a lie under the linden tree. I love your videos. Hope to one day meet you and your friend. I’m here in the US, but I have a home further north from you, by Serra da Estrela.

    I'm just watching you marvel at your new Kebtek clipper "on a stick"; I don't think I've ever seen you so happy! Give a Canadian gal a great tool and she goes to town on her farm!! 😆 Your trees already look beautiful! The tree in front of your home will have lots of new branches in short order. The only negative aspect of pruning is the work clearing up afterwards. I'd have as much fun if I had the same opportunity and I'm reveling in your tidied tress as if I'd done the work myself. My daughter's hubby just prepared his hot sauce and I believe he was wearing a face mask and goggles to do so. Kerry's house looks wonderful. I love the view out of your window and it must feel great to know you'll have sun streaming in during the winter. That's a timely project, indeed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful life in Portugal Kirsty! Have a great week! Angela

    Kirsty the pointing looks lovely. at the front of your house. The spicy chilli fermented sauce, with limes, yum, you are very talented, Kirsty. The walls you made/ built, at your friend' Caries house out of Cobb, look very smooth, and professional standard.
    Kirsty you did a good job cleaning the pool, storing the large pool float and covering the pool, to keep safe during the cold months was a big job.
    Wow... you are so Lucky with so... many butternut pumpkins. I love them baked, or steamed. They are my favourite pumpkin variety
    Glad you could see what window frame you need to build at Caries house.
    The new tool.of joy, with the long arm, being more powerful, so many people will love that tool, as easy to reach branches,that need to be cut down.

And definitely one which you can slot in a wooden cutting board, as another commentor suggested.

    The tree in your yard that you are saying will produce a lot of shade we here in Florida call a chinaberry tree, and the fruits you pointed out are deadly poisonous! There have been children in my hometown that have died from eating as few as five of them! They are also very invasive, spreading to cover everything if given the chance. I know this because I have them in MY yard and I've been trying to remove them. But the ONLY way to take one out is to did up the ENTIRE root structure. Even the smallest bit of root will re-sprout into a new tree.

    Thanks for another great video Kirsty. I loved the window workspace, maybe you could make a large board to eventually cover the sink that’ll be there, so that you can use as a workspace when sink isn’t in use?

    The windows at silent Cary's look awesome. Would you lose any light having multi paned glass windows? You have done a fantastic job with the window space.
    Life by Living in Portugal made some fake stone looking window ledges. What are your plans for the inside window ledge? Looking forward to the finished window.
