    Hi guys! I have to say both Cristina and I absolutely love the look of the barn cladding. Brilliant job! I’m assuming it comes from a saw mill. I need some.
    Secondly I’ve got running water envy. That’s such a great sound to hear. We have a stream on our land but it doesn’t run much. At the moment it’s just a puddle. Finally thanks so much! It’s an absolute pleasure being able to call you our friends. Keep rolling guys you’re doing a grand job. ❤😎👍🏼

    Love your spiffy new PPE helmet with protective mesh screen and ear protectors. Things that guard health are sexy, truly!
    The cladded barn wall looks terrific. Will you be capping any hollows (like those metal beams) as well as rendering the corner ends of the cladding to discourage wasp or hornet habitat?
    Whoo weee, that's a lot of fencing to do, but i love how you orgsnize your acreage to allow your grazers to do their thing in turn. In future it'll be fun to see the ducks annihilate any snail & slug populations. Did i thank you for showing the prcessionary caterpillar habitats being burned? Great work rechanneling the water that was flooding some areas.
    Oh, lawd that fall!! I was (as always) so concerned for brains and eyes and teeth and elbows and knees 😲. [I've had lucky tumbles myself but the velocity is scary skiing, cycling, missing a stair, involuntarily flying out of the bath tub, etc 🙈.]

    It’s because of project Portugal that I am tuned in to the fogies and all of the British connection community around Portugal . It takes a lot of time and hard work to renovate those stone buildings , if you can get the materials needed . That’s what I like repurposing or finding a different use . So sorry to hear about the loss of your bee colonies, will you replace them ? When are you going to renovate the box ? I truly do like the cladding , looks great . As usual another jam - packed video. How is that broken rib coming along after last week’s tumble ? Take care and many blessings .💕

    Nice to see you drop in on fellow Geordies Laura and Dan but to bring you "Bonding Agent" when the Toon is Full of Broon Ale is down right criminal. The cladding is wonderful and to think most sawmills sell it off as firewood, the colour of the bark sets it off in that beautiful sunlight infact almost the colour of Broon Ale, But I digress.

    Your strimmer hole hack is very intriguing; I like it! The blades will be under a lot of force, I guess, when it hits a stone or too thick a branch - I would love to hear how successful it is. Did you/will you weld or glue it with something magical like araldite?
