Loved this video. Thanks for sharing your venture. Your Mum is becoming a Star on this channel. The build-up on the coins can be easily removed with Tartaric Acid (powder form). In a small enough container add hot water and then tartaric acid, drop the coins in, and wait for the water to cool down. Take a clean cloth and shine the coins. You're rich!
That’s a really good tip thank you!
Mum is very sweet. I’m happy she is getting comfortable on camera and showing you all her personality. ❤️
Veda ash and Dolomite lime (Magnedol ) 1 tbsp in 20 l pot when you planted, I just stirred it in. Directly translated from Swedish via google
Great job everyone! Just a note: Crumbled egg shells do not leach calcium into the soil. They take many years to break down to a form where the plants' roots can absorb the nutrients. Better if you buy a bag of bone meal and mix some into the soil.
Also, at 41:45, I may have missed it but what is the 2 story structure behind you destined to become? Love to see your garden coming to life! So sorry for you poor Tony kitty. Our pets are everything to us and hope he heals well.
Put your lid upside down on pan in drawer that’s what I do…it might fit then…well done guys…
That's how I store the lids on stock pots too, the upside down lids fit flush with the top edge of the pots.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
I really appreciate that you realised the importance of SHOWING us the detail to fitting h the drawers. I have drawers with same sliding rails leftover from a job that tradesmen did. Now can’t afford to pay utters and have been putting it off (for ‘years’ if truth be told) … you’ve just inspired me to have a go at getting it done! Because u showed me the detail, the order, the tips, the everything….that I couldn’t be bothered to look up myself (or it didn’t occur to me to check for a UA-cam video). It’s just been slipped in to my regular favourite UA-camrs’ video, and I’m so chuffed that it has!
Grateful 🙏🏼
Do not clean the coins take them to a coin collector and get advice.
Put just a bit of olive oil on the slides and it’ll loosen them up. Love your channel.
you are so genuine and lovely to watch and listen to. so happy about little things like the drawers sliding in correctly and finding old coins. i love how you’re not afraid to be real! keep on being yourself-that’s what people love!
Thank you Doreen! Thats very kind of you :)
Grow lots of beans! Good for the soil, soul ,preserving ,shade and to look at😂 what else do you need?😊😃 Thanks for your channel ❤❤❤
Peas are good for the soil too.
Try bamboo for shade. I know it can be invasive but another channel, The Wildlanders have experimented and found some that are less so. 🤞🤞💗
For saving all the things you find on the land, build a box, like your kitchen drawer. Put a base on it and make a coffee table out of it. Put your finds in the box and cover the box in a glass top. Instant display table + a useful coffee table!
Bamboo is a quick growing plant that provide shade, BUT sink the pots in the ground before planting. It's a fast spreader and invasive as anything. Never plant it directly in the ground or you'll spend the rest of your life getting rid of it!
Yes, I was.going to say bamboo needs to be potted or it will take over. I had bamboo in my yard and my islander friends said, "Why aren't you eating it? It's delicious."
Loofas on a frame & sweet corn will provide shade if planted between the sun & the smaller plants? And a trained grapevine would help. Also you could make an attractive white sailcloth to put on poles over the patch rather than using cheap shade cloth. If you can get bone meal there it would be a good dressing to use on the soil.
I am awed by the crazy amount of stone you’re harvesting from the ruin and then humbled by the work the original builders put in to quarry, move and build from this material. Then I’m reminded you plan on harvesting the stone to rebuild. Bravo!
It's wonderful how each of you contributes to your full abilities!.Brava, mama, wielding the handsaw! The coins are amazing; check with a museum to see if they are museum quality, and you may actually get a decent return for them.
Your videos always bring joy to my heart. Family working SUCCESSFULLY together to make a loving home and garden. Your interactions with your mother brings back memories of those my 2 sisters and I had with our mother many years ago❤. Congratulations on your $$$ finds! Perhaps a reward from God for all your hard work.😊
Your mom is always so happy, but it seems she really is happier and shining in the garden, like that is her peace and happiness ❤❤
She is definitely enjoying herself a lot on the garden :) She always wanted one
Boa tarde. Não sei se não terei entendido o projeto mas julgo que não pensaram na casa de banho social. Just in case. Parabéns a todos pelo trabalho que têm feito
Lol those coins can probably pay for you guys to have your remodel done by contractors in a short time!!! I believe you have treasure my dears!!! These are probably close to priceless
Andrea onde encontrou essas moedas provavelmente tem mais .Antigamente não havia bancos para se guardar as economias 😊Então eram guardas nas paredes e enterradas no chão .Boa sorte
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys good work 😘 your coins can be worth a lot of money by the coin collector's maybe you can build your new house from that 😁
Transformation is happening for sure
Hi Omar Andrea and Simon. A few episodes back I asked whether your mum had a kitchen in her space because I don’t remember and we have not seen it decked out or at least I have not unless I missed an episode. Just wondering. I actually hope that I did miss an episode so that I have something to look forward to. 😀
Bom Dia don't clean the coins unless its not valuable if not leave it in Coke. I am enjoying the show from Cape Town South Africa. adeus
I grew my tomatoes with seeds from my tomatoes we wer eating and they worked….… your mother never stops…don’t clean them take them to someone who knows…some coins are worth a lot of money ❤
Omg, those coins, you may like to consider taking to the local historians ( historical society) to see how you can best preserve the coins, & find out the history behind the era. Definitely a special find that other people can enjoy by you sharing the information you find out. Value versus knowledge shared.
Your mum may benefit from building some raised garden beds, dont forget to add potasium, & mulch from compost bin to vegi garden to break down clay soil.
😊
Establishing a new garden is always so satisfying. Good work ladies, hi mom.
So true! I can’t wait for the summer!!
Put them in a dish with some coca cola, that will eat all the rubbish on the coins
Bamboo grows like a treat, and it grows anyway. Bamboo walls look beautiful, too. I think they call it a privacy wall or something. Good luck. Always super enjoy these videos, guys
Be careful as bamboo is very invasive!
Andrea que video tan bonito, me encanta verte con tu mami en la huerta y haciendo el blanquito para trabajar más cómoda.
Sois geniales y trabajáis muy bien.🔨👍🏆👏👏👏👏❤️
It is so nice to see your mom there and also interacting she is lovely. The work on the buildings are coming on beautifully Andrea and those kitchen drawers are lovely. Sorry about your cat hope he gets better soon.
Everything looks amazing, I have a tall pot like your, you just need to put lid lid upside down on top of the pot and the drawer will still close.
Fun learning about growing food. Jason is a great shade plant, give it a sturdy structure to grow on 😊..congrats on coins.. metal detector for whole of land. Boil some distilled water and put coins in make sure distilled as normal water has chemicals traces.. leave coins in overnight then allow coins to air dry. Afterwards handle with gloves and make sure you handle and store pvc and acid free holders
Is this a Jason?
www.gardenia.net/plant/caryopteris-incana-jason-sunshine-blue
Metal detector would be an amazing idea!
The green stuff on copper is poissoning and you should be careful and washing your hands with soap. Good luck for your rebuild.
Luffa seeds do better sowed directly in the ground. Same as carrots and peas.
Very cool coins! Don’t clean the coins.
Can they survive the under 10C weather? It gets quite cold at night.
Would you clip them and then sow directly? I have some more so I can test them as well.
@@TheIndigoEscape I wait until last frost date is passed then sow directly in the ground. 10C should be warm enough. Pumpkins, squash, cucumbers and a few others don’t like their roots disturbed.
Hey amazing people, love watching your videos and seeing all your progress as you go along on this journey, and appreciate the explanations on everything.
Your mum is so sweet, and she looks really happy, especially when she's doing the gardening, but also love that she's having fun having a go at woodwork lol.
You have done soooo much since you bought the property it was hard to remember what it was like, so when building the new walls will you use the stones to cover the outer part of them?.
Sending greetings and love from the UK 😃👌🌈🤟
Thank you so much! We have to do more woodworking, she really enjoys it!
We are going to use the stone to clad the walls on the outside and one wall on the inside will be made of stone but it will have damp course to avoid the problem with damp. ❤️
Hello, I love your videos, a hug to your mom lol. Hugs from Brazil to everyone 💚🤍💕🥰🌼🎉❤😅😊😊
LOVE your channel! One of my very favorites on YT. What are you using on the walls to prevent moisture and mildew?Guy and Kylie at Make Dog Row (lol) make such a big deal out of using lime and not cement so the walls can breathe.
Nice find, I use a lukewarm solution of 10mg of Citric acid in 1L water, it removes rust, galvanising, and I use it on our Brass window stays cleans it really nicely
Para as moedas de cobre, vinagre e sal devem limpar. “Ter uns cobrinhos” é ter um pouco de dinheiro guardado, expressão que deve vir de as moedas serem feitas de cobre.
Carrots is best sawn direct in the ground. They dont like to be moved once they have sprouted.
We did! ❤️
COPPER COINS PLACE IN VINEGAR SHOULD CLEAN W ITHOUT DAMAGE great progress love your videos thank you.
coca cola supposed to work, too
Great progress . How about a sail for shade made from coloured materials like saris it would look cheerful and serve the purpose🙂
Sail material could work! Something like they use on festivals! That’s a good idea!
Hola soy Apolonia de Palma de Mallorca me encanta ver cómo cómo hacéis vuestros vídeos me ha encantado ver pones de la cocina y como habéis encontrado y la alegría de sembrar tu madre es muy buena con muchas ideas troll jovenes no tenemos con razón tiene tantos fans bueno hasta el próximo os estaré esperando besitos
Qué bonito nombre! Muchas gracias Apolonia, estoy muy agradecida de que mi madre esté con nosotros aquí h esté disfrutando de su nueva casa ❤️❤️ Gracias por su apoyo en nuestro canal!
Nice to see The gardering, while We still have a lot of snow in our garden near Oslo, Norway
You and your mum are so alike in your mannerisms and laughter. Very cute. You may want to seek professional advice on the coin cleaning as I dare say they’re quite valuable. Maybe an antique shop can point you in the right direction.
Thanks Jen! We both have the exact same smile :)
The joy of achievement! 🤗 Well done, it's looking good. Great progress on all fronts. Especially, mom, making her own gardening chair 👌🏼
Yeah! We need to fix the chair a bit more but i enjoyed seeing her hands on! ❤️
There are quite a few home remedies online to remove oxidation from old coins that will not damage the coin. However, if any of the coins are collectable, they are best left with the patina on them as serious collectors are more likely to buy them if you ever wanted to sell them. Hope this helps a little 😊❤
We wouldnt sell the coins. Anything that we find in the land we are keeping and it will be adorning our house some way or another. We are likely going to frame the coins. We think all things we find are like little gifts the house keeps on giving ❤️
@@TheIndigoEscapeLove that you want to keep them! I would do the same ❤😊
Willow can create some great shade, easy to grow and can be woven into a living fence. 😊
You deserve lots of happiness!!
❤️❤️
You too! 🥰
Plant sweet peas they climb very high and are beautiful
I have! We have so far 5 plants and are about to plant some more!
That was so funny with your mum and iggy
It's so nice that you are designing the new kitchen with your mother's view in mind, I have been thinking how good it must be for her now to look out her window and see the garden and trees instead of a stone wall. Aligning the windows in the new kitchen with hers is a marvelous idea!
Thank you for explaining your plans (I had imagined an open summer kitchen with a covered patio area). The new wing is going to be beautiful as well as functional with the kitchen close to the gardens, and your master suite will be a perfect retreat.
Now we're wondering what your plans are for the old main house, that's going to be quite a project!
Hello Andrea, Omar, Simon and mom. I am so happy for you all. The kitchen draws looks amazing. Well done. It is only going forward with the renovations. The coins are a great find. Thoughts and prayers for your injured cat. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏 Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘
Thank you Doris! Tony is doing much better after a lot of tickles and sausages. His wound is almost 100% healed
@@TheIndigoEscapeYou are so welcome. That is great news that Tony is doing better ❤
In your area do you have building codes that you must follow and building inspections you must pass?
Andrea, tú mamá me hace acordar a mi abuelo materno y mi abuela paterno. Que tenían sus quintas o huertos como quieras decirles. Y yo ahora ando haciendo lo mismo pero en baldes de pintura de 20 litros. Y te recomiendo que mires unos videos de permacultura holistica que están muy buenos para sacar ideas sobre tu huerto y criado de gallinas o muy buen plantado de árboles frutales para que crezcan rápidos y bien.
¡I Love mamá pequeña!
I think it would have been a good idea to hire a home inspector before you bought the place. 😂😂😂 jk.
Every time you are proceeding ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
If you didn't soak the membrane off the tomato seeds soak them for 24 or 36 hours. Often you can see them germinate in the water. Plant them directly then.
Put your lids on your pot's upside-down that way you can keep them w/ the correct pot, but also allow you to keep them together & not bang in the drawer
Great job you guys! I can see that mom loves to work on the garden. So nice to see her happy. I think the old Portuguese coins were called 'Reis' (not Reais, Reais is in Brazil). 'Reis' means Kings. Later came the 'Escudo'. One escudo was the same as one thousand 'Reis'. And then, of course, came the Euro.
You are right! I pronounced them incorrectly! But it was Reis! :)
It may be better not to clean the coins of verdigris & other patine. Those for only over years (or centuries!), are part of the history of the coins, & can make them more valuable. I'd just scrub them gently with and old toothbrush, in a bowl of warm water with a drop of mild dishwashing liquid.
Take 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup flour combine using enough vinegar to make a paste rub it on the coins with a soft tooth brush. Another way is to use tamarind paste.
You have to be careful,if cleaning coins…I think sometimes you can damage the surface of the coin. There are times when the encrustation adds value…
Greetings from South Africa ❤
Hops are great for growing very quickly in to big shady vines. (& you can brew beer with them- if you run out of other things to do. 😂 )
Essa moeda que mostra aos 43:17 que tem um Busto, parece ser o Busto que representa a República Portuguesa das moedas de 1 Escudo dos anos 20 do século passado.
I know in the UK that carpenters hundreds of years ago used to place a coin above the head of a doorway to bring good luck.
If you put the lid for the pot upside down in the pot the upper drawer should clear it. Beautiful work!
i"m excited for to ee the project
I have gardened in mostly very hot sunny regions and have grown a lot of tomatoes successfully in full sun, so hear are a few ideas I had success with. We used our tomato (on 2m high cages) to shade tender greens and herbs in intensive and companion garden plots to help both resist pests. We did double dig (around 1m deep and wide per plant) to loosen and amended to enrich compacted or clayey soil since they do like to go deep and wide with root structures and need a lot of nutrients; they also like a lot of air flow and not having their leaves splashed with soiled water, so we have always drip watered deeply with a soaker hose and trellised up or supported the plants, especially non determinate (viney) varieties. Lack of airflow and too much sitting moisture on the leaves can cause a lot of disease problems. They also need slightly acid soil so a ph test and some soil amendments (compost, aged manure, or lime) can help them be very vigorous and resistant to problems.
The kitchen floor looks fantastic.
Put your pot lids on the pots upside down and the drawer bottom won't catch on the lid handle.
A video brilliant… I like the layout you showed us
Maybe use your excess rocks as a garden/vegie bed edge...would look good ❤
Love the job on the drawers. If you put the pot lids upside down on the top of the pot so the handle sits inside the pot you will be able to shut the drawer and perhaps stack something else on top for the shallower pots.
Do not use a level upside down to draw a line for your drawers. I did it and left and right rear was out by 15mm, so had to redo it
Egg shells are a good source of calcium you can also use peeled potatoes the peeling soak them until the water turns dirty and also water your plants with that. It seems to me if your cat is in pain it might be quite a bit of pain because my vets have always told me cats have a very high tolerance for pain. I had a cat with a broken hip that walked around on it for a week, my sons cat and he didn't think she was hurt that bad. I don't know that's just what my vets have told me much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Will be nice to know about your coins...
The cupboard is two small so not soft close
I love that your mom is there with you. I cherish every moment I spent with her in her precious lifetime. Your home is becoming so nice and will become even better through the years.
Thanks Judy! SO happy mum is here with both my sister and I
Thanks for posting and sharing 🙂
That pot lid can go in the pot upside down x
Just finished watching your video, you are getting so much done, I love watching how you are turning your homestead into a lovely home. Looking forward to your next video, and hope your cat is healed completely, love our fur babies. Wishing u a blessed week.
Thank you! Tony has healed quite a bit, he is 90% there but 100% himself now!
clean the coins with tothpaste
Thank you so much for the before and after shots, I can now see exactly where I am looking 👀 such fantastic progress on the the whole build. 😊
Im glad it was helpful!
Great progress! How amazing to find the coins! Such a gift!
I have a suggestion. To save space, just place the lid upside-down in your big pan in the bottom drawer, I think you still have plenty of height for that! I find that saves the space in the next drawer up for other things!
Super happy with the coins! What a find! I think we might be able to fit the pan lid upside down yes!
Suggestion: Since you've found old coins in the walls, may be a good idea to metal detect the rubble. Perhaps you'll find more! Happy hunting!
That's a great idea! I should see how we can find a metal detector!
I'd grow peas and beans. A passionfruit vine might do well, and some sweet peas, because; flowers! : )
Love the idea of a passion fruit vine!
For shade, chayote (xuxu/ chuchu). Grows well here and highly fruitful.
Thanks Thomas! I have seen them in the market but have never tried it!
Your mom Andrea, is so sweet.
Thank you! ❤️🥰
They used to put coins in walls to bring good luck & to signify the date the wall were built 😂 So now that you have 3 of them i have no clue ❤ God bless
Hahah! Like a newspaper type of thing! That’s so funny. In Venezuela they sued to add gold coins as a sort of bank! So I thought it could be a long the same ways.
Does hazel grow in Portugal? I would not use bamboo as it spreads rapidly. Hazel would allow you to make a living hedge as it grows.
We have an hazel tree at the very back so yes it can grow here :)
Use coke to clean the coins
Been catch up on your build, absolutely loving it and that mother of yours is a true treasure, keep the awsome coming
Much appreciated!
Wow! Those coins are such a treasure! It'll be interesting to see what you find out about them; how to restore them, and even if you should restore them. 🤔
Yeah! I want to see how we can restore them but without loosing its details.
If you want to get rid of bamboo you’ll have to use dynamite to get rid of the roots. Not kidding. 🤗
Oh we don’t have bamboo!
You asked for suggestions for a tall crop, how about corn? 🌽
Love you guys and all the progress ❤
Love some corn!
When you rebuild your walls put coins from this year in them for future generations ❤
Great idea!
Amazing find !!
Add blue food colouring to the water in your tube and it will be easier to read.
good idea!
🙏❤️
