Hahaha - oh Diogo!!! Oooops another sock being buried by Frankie at the base of the tree! On Ya Albi - make sure it is being done properly! Love all the chooks spending time with Albi on the verandah........ Thanks for this wonderful video.
Almost 60k! Hi all-if you wouldn’t mind hitting the thumbs up and comment (even a ‘great job’) it helps their UA-cam algorithm so that they can make a little extra cash each week. I’m sure it would help them immensely! This is a great Reno channel. Very sweet couple with lots of animals all living together. They are really creative and have become pros at editing! Great job on the pruning and the bath!
Happy New Year, Carissa, Iwan and fur and feather babies 👩❤️👨🐕🐈🐓 and all the best for 2025 🤗 I really enjoyed the variety in this video. I see that Albi still wants to be the star of the show! 😸
Happy New Year Iwan and Carissa, may you have a healthy, blessed happy, vlog year 2025. Love how the bathroom is coming on. Must say Coriander is one spice I do not like at all. Glad you survived the 10k run. You did very well running it in 1hr and 3. Have a lovely day.
Hi Iwan and Carissa, love the bathroom well done. Diogo ❤..never seen a dog look so happy to be alive..can never forget when he was in pain and need, uncertain of his future...he pulls at your heartstrings..🐕🐕🐈🐈. Blessings from a damp windy Jamaica 🇯🇲
Oh gosh proud of your 10k run! Gosh i wish I was young again! That is an amazing accomplishment! Also sounds like your bathroom plumbing was successful if Carissa was able to take a hot bath after!! What amazing go getters you two are! Bravo! Best 2025 ever!
Gorgeous! I love the shots of the plants, birds, and your pets. The bathroom is really coming along nicely and you are doing a great job. I can hardly wait to see it finished. 🎉 Happy New Year to you and all the best in 2025!
So happy to see you’re back! I hope you both had a happy and very restful Christmas and New Year, Carissa and Iwan. Our winter weather is settling in now, in the north. Snow, cold and pretty dark. I’m doubley glad to escape to see you guys in Portugal, now that politics has really heated up in North America, thanks to he who shall not be named.😒What a crazy old world we live in. I love how Diogo and the cats supervise Iwan trimming the grapevine so closely! Wow, the bathroom is really coming along nicely. Cats make excellent plumbers. ( it’s a little known fact…)😉Frankie looked so tragic when you stole her egg away. You are like the Pied Piper with your flock of chickens scampering along behind you, Carissa. What horrible weather for your 10K run! You guys are amazing! Beautiful editing as always. Cheers! ❤️🇨🇦🌬️❄️☃️
😂🤣Oh my Lord the whole Family hangin out on the Porch, Bukkok...🐓im laughin!! Egg thieves🐶 and smelly trumps, Cat plumbing inspector, 🐯 I needed this😋😁Happy New year! Its 22°F right now cloudy &🥶Cold, sippin my java for wednesday Foggytime. Almost No snow here All winter... not good. Glad to see Iwan using a mower, so much easier on the back. 👍Just do it every 3 days in the fast grow season. thats my schedule. Or it even bogs my riding mower. Many Blessings in 2025🙏🙏
Good morning young people, Albi is sure that he has found a new place, the bathroom, for new adventures 🤭 lol 🐈🐈 🐶 Frankie continues to bury his things lol and Diogo is having fun with the insects 🐕. 💚🤍🥰 your bathroom is beautiful, congratulations 🎊 👏👏🌺⚘️🍾🙏 Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
Just happened to come across your channel. I'm advid watcher of homestead/off grid/tiny home brave ppl. I absolutely love how you've incorporated nature, your loving fur babies and how you've grown your homestead with each vid. You're an adorable couple. Blessings be yours. Subscribed. Canadian here.
Albi was probably thinking to himself ? My mommy & daddy love me so much they built a bathroom for me with my own made to measure bath tub sink 😁 PURRRFECT . Looking great guys and glad to see all goes well 👌🏻
Your bathroom looks really good well done you . 😊 Hope the new year is good for you all . Hope you don't end up with water shortages in the summer. Good luck 🍀🍀 ❤😊🫂
Happy New Year to you and your beautiful animal family - wishing all of you the best of health and much joy in 2025🎉❤ Poor Frankie - I don’t think she agrees with the New Years weight loss resolution you’ve selected for her❣️
When using the lawnmower without the grass collector put a stick under the rear flap to lift it a bit to let the grass clear the blade, it stops it clogging and makes life much easier. Don’t lift it too high or you may get a few sticks in your shins
You really should consider making a mix of some of your best intro sections of your videos. They’re so incredibly soothing. Beautiful early morning meditation or nighttime wind down companion.
Happy New Year, Carissa and Iwan❤️🥂🎉 Good on you for running 10K… in the cold and the rain🙃 I’ll bet that you were very thankful for the hot bath afterwards. See you next week❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
What a lovely life you both live, this was my dream , but due to bad health and the loss of of my job, it’s now a far away dream, so I share your journey and relax , hope you both had a wonderful Christmas and new year, looking forward to to see the homestead grow. ❤️🇬🇧🙏
Nick never give up hope. I got very sick and went on permanent disability, still I was able to move back to Portugal and enjoy the peaceful, simple life this little country offers. Wishing you the best!
@ thank you , I’m hoping that I can at least do something about my dream, even if it’s not as big as I thought, anything would be better than stuck in the city.🤯🤯🤯
The pets Crack me up!😂 I love how they have to be right in the midst of all the action. Inquiring minds want to know...lol! I love watching your videos. I had a long-haired sausage dog named Hansel and three short-haired names, Finnigan, Toby, and Weiner. They were wonderful, smart companions. Watch for Frankie's back! I follow you from Ontario, Canada.
Folks you should partially fill the bath with water before siliconing it as it drops when filled so you get a better seal? If you’ve already heard this apologises. Nice to see you back. x
You’re welcome. The bath drops with the weight therefore you seal it in the position it drops to rather than have it drop after the fact. Bring stable on its feet and absolutely level also helps. x
I’ve just been watching you and seal around the bath . I’m just thought I would mention that you really should fill the bath with water before sealing it. Because when the bathrooms with water it will pull away from the sealant. But the bathroom looks fabulous well done x
A tip I learned from a plumber- you should fill the bath with water when sealing the edge and leave the water in until the caulking/sealant dries. That way, you have less risk of breaking the water seal by the change in weight when the bath is in use.
Missed you so much and so glad you are back! Oohh a new lawn mower, hope its helping in saving you time grass cutting. The bathroom is looking amazing and I think your mad doing a 10k! Wonderful video guys, happy new year xxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your property looks so inviting at the moment. It is 12°F with snow on the ground. The sun is shining, but it won't get above freezing today. My bones are saying, "Wouldn't Portugal be lovely?" Enjoy your run tomorrow. I don't personally see the point in running except to escape muggers or being late for a flight, but if you enjoy it that's all that matters.
Albi is a very thorough inspector of your plumbing! The bathroom cabinet looked great, a fine choice, so she must also be a good interior designer; what a clever cat! However, Diogo The Magnificent was the early dog that catches the worm ... or beetle ... or mouse ... grasshopper? 7:17 I really am genuinely very impressed with the latest Reolink camera you featured - I've never liked anything linked to Amazon and other Big-Corporate-Businesses, but the Reolink does a *FAR* better job, imo, without the hideous tracking implications. Good luck with long distance running training! Even when you really don't want to get out there, it's cold, dark, wet, windy etc but 5 minutes after getting going you will be enjoying it and feeling justifiably proud of yourselves! Or that's how I remember doing the same - is it like giving birth; excruciatingly painful but you look back on it as a joyous event?
happy new year

I think Albi did slightly more work than the last plumber that came to my house!
Bathroom looks sensational. Bravi! So many things growing & blossoming in January. I'm envious.
Your bathroom is looking great.
Love the plumbing inspector 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛
Ohhh.. that bath.. I’m imagining you are very happy to have it useable Carissa, even if the bathroom is not yet complete
👏👏💕💕
Happy New Year, Carissa, Iwan and fur and feather babies 👩❤️👨🐕🐈🐓 and all the best for 2025 🤗

Your videos are absolutely beautiful. They are so calming and peaceful. Love your animals.
Very relaxing and good music thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys in divine light 🚨😉 good work 👍🙏❤️
I loved how excited the chickens were when you went to look after them. I hope your new year brings you everything you hope for.
The chickens approve of your porch.
Oh gosh proud of your 10k run! Gosh i wish I was young again! That is an amazing accomplishment! Also sounds like your bathroom plumbing was successful if Carissa was able to take a hot bath after!! What amazing go getters you two are! Bravo! Best 2025 ever!
Also Frankie so gentle with an egg caught red handed😂😂😂
I'm at the end! What a pretty plate meal❤❤ Carissa and her art never stops❤
Happy New Year and great to see your new video. Seeing Diogo doing the fox in the snow pounce really was funny, your animals are very entertaining.❤
Love the music
Lovely job on the bathroom. Well done, plumbing included. Bravo. 😊😊🎉❤❤
Gorgeous! I love the shots of the plants, birds, and your pets. The bathroom is really coming along nicely and you are doing a great job. I can hardly wait to see it finished.
🎉 Happy New Year to you and all the best in 2025!
I think that the boards you are using for the bathroom is a great choice and it looks amazing.👍
Muito relaxante e motivante ver este casal de jovens viver esta vida simples em harmonia com a natureza e os seus amorosos animais!🙂

Best wishes for a great new year.
Thanks!

Such a peaceful pace of life.
Thanks! I love your videos and wish you had more subscribers
Beautiful, relaxing video and encouraging progress on your home. Hope nore rain comes to recharge your well!

When you look back when you started your amazing project. What is the one thing that's stand out the most that you have achieved. ❤
Bath.. 100% a bath. I guess maybe Diogo too.. he’s a good dog! 🐕
Your bathroom is looking very beautiful, keep up the momentum
Well done on the 10k and the bathroom it is coming along really nicely. I love Frankie’s to white lines either side of her tail x
Your cabin looks like it is coming along well! It will be nice to have some modern conveniences! 😊

I liked seeing Albi inspecting the plumbing job. Cats are plumbing inspectors, so you know it's done well when Albi approves.
Well done on 10k run in wet conditions
Thanks for another calming vlog 💜💙

Missed your videos so much. Welcome back. Have a great year ahead.
Bathroom looks great. May I suggest you put a shelf above the sink tap so the cats don't step on it to look out the window or you might get a flood.❤

Albi was probably thinking to himself ? My mommy & daddy love me so much they built a bathroom for me with my own made to measure bath tub sink 😁 PURRRFECT . Looking great guys and glad to see all goes well 👌🏻
Happy New Year! The bathroom is looking great. Congratulations on your run!

Hope you surprise yourself and get to fulfill your dream soon. 😉🤞
Nick never give up hope. I got very sick and went on permanent disability, still I was able to move back to Portugal and enjoy the peaceful, simple life this little country offers. Wishing you the best!
@ thank you , I’m hoping that I can at least do something about my dream, even if it’s not as big as I thought, anything would be better than stuck in the city.🤯🤯🤯
@nickgrimmer7274 You will get there. Just don't ever give up.

I love how they have to be right in the midst of all the action. Inquiring minds want to know...lol!

Happy New Year to you both. Well done on the 10K despite the weather.
Criss and Albi the bathroom planer👍❤️The bathroom looks amazing so far!❤
Folks you should partially fill the bath with water before siliconing it as it drops when filled so you get a better seal? If you’ve already heard this apologises. Nice to see you back. x
I didn't know that! I'm about to silicone around my tub and you've saved me hours of correction! Thank you!
You’re welcome. The bath drops with the weight therefore you seal it in the position it drops to rather than have it drop after the fact. Bring stable on its feet and absolutely level also helps. x
But Iwan was in the bath whilst siliconing so praps his weight wd be the same as half a bath o water?
@42apprentice - Thank you so much! I never realised that!
Parece que a primavera está a querer chegar mais cedo. Começaram a florir os campos.
Happy New Year guys , loved the music as Clarissa manoeuvres the sink . Very balletesque
Congratulations on your 10k🎉🎉🎉🎉
And the cabin is looking so great. Your so talented ❤
I’ve just been watching you and seal around the bath . I’m just thought I would mention that you really should fill the bath with water before sealing it. Because when the bathrooms with water it will pull away from the sealant. But the bathroom looks fabulous well done x
Looking good! Well done both of You!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
I'll keep to my cycling guys, my knees can't take the impact. Bathroom is coming together nicely with all the help from the 😸😺's
Yay you did it 👏 🙌 ❤️
Happy New Year!
A tip I learned from a plumber- you should fill the bath with water when sealing the edge and leave the water in until the caulking/sealant dries. That way, you have less risk of breaking the water seal by the change in weight when the bath is in use.
great tip! we could see that bathtub move when he stepped out of the tub, causing the sealant to move.
Thank you! 💖
Love the new format, keep well.
Missed you so much and so glad you are back! Oohh a new lawn mower, hope its helping in saving you time grass cutting. The bathroom is looking amazing and I think your mad doing a 10k! Wonderful video guys, happy new year xxx ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope we get a review on the lawnmower vs strimmer vs anything else sometime this coming year.
Love, love Joau ….still remember him as a little hungry kitten looking for a home …you are both very kind people ❤❤❤
Happy New Year guys !! 🎉🥳🇨🇦🇵🇹
Lovely to see the garden 💖💖
