Pruning brambles without gloves must have hurt. Finding a new water source is always a plus. I love watching land get cleared and pruned. Your property is gorgeous. ❤️🇨🇦
Yes that is for sure on my list I'm thinking maybe I do it all and film it to make one video in a few weeks or months so you can see it all cleared in sort of a time-lapse format rather then I bits 😊
So much fun… hot water!!! Yes👏👏👏👏 A magical secret grotto, who would have thought. Bonus well👏👏👏 I’m so pleased you are getting into a good place and hopefully you will be fully set up inside before Winter.. Sending love💕❤️💕
I like that description a magical grotto hahah so much more to clear but it will be a great environment for chickens and some cover from birds of Prey 😁
Yay 🎉 for hot water!! That set up is fantastic!! I can’t believe you uncovered that well under all those brambles. That looked like a lot of hard word but so rewarding!! 😊.
So so rewarding ..... I'm still picking out splinters but it was worth it hahahaha I can start to imagine it completed now and it's getting me super excited 😊
Well! who would of thought ... a secret garden ... fruit trees and water in a well! A great hideout ... Well done! Jack and Jill came to mind ... I thought Jack fell into the well for real! 😂Have an awesome weekend Guys ✨
Hahahaha that made me laugh. It almost looked like a did as the rides looked similar hahaahah that was a 6 month joke in the making ..... I'm such a nerd hahahah
Heya you wonderful people, what an amazing find that well is and still with a good 3 meters of water in there, you'll need another pump hahaha. That shower set up is great, has good pressure by the looks of it. Does it run on both 220v and 12v if you take it on the road? But...seriously Dave, you barefoot bushman....one day you will encounter a centipede, that or a scorpio and that will be the end of your barefoot adventures!!! Ask Carissa from 'Frankie off Grid'!!!! You can thank me later hahaha. So good to hear you found homes for most of the kittens!!! Have a great week you two!!! Cheers Bert 🙏🏻❤
Hahahah I may change my views when that day happens hahahha. Yes we are so chuffed with it. I have a petrol Honda pump which may work but I'll need to lower it in about 3 meters for it to work I think that's what I think the winch thing was for. Hope your having a good week i
Love watching you 2 you, u do make me laugh yeyy a welll , are you gnna clear them nasty brambles that are tall on the left of it ,then get more light on it ,amazing finding that ,love ur shower set up wd , yesss indoors next week great xx where do u sleep in there or a caravan somewhere xx
Yes the plan is to clear all the he brambles and make some sort of seperation between each of the trees so you could walk through without having to crawl hahhaa. Yes we live in here at the moment it's actually really comfortable it's 8m X 6m so a nice big spade we did think of getting a caravan but for the same price we managed to restore this building which we felt would last a bit longer 😊😊😊😊
Just a tip, to measure a meter with a measuring tape just measure from your shoulder bone to your thumb holding the rope. Your going to have the well cleaned before using it. There are people that do that for a living there. Great job guys. Love and be safe!😘🌻ve
Tienen un hermoso árbol de nísperos.....a la derecha .... dan una sombra increíble...yo lo usaba de garage al árbol en verano....aparte de comer su frutos y las hojas un té que curaba todo cuadro respiratorio , calmante de la tos....y muchos más beneficios para la salud.... que bien un pozo aguaaa oro líquido!"!!!!
Love watching your videos, glad to see you're both so happy over there. It also makes me laugh whenever I see a tool (Or a torch) that looks strangely familiar Dave 👀
how nice that you can take a shower outside, i am so happy for you. that well is very deep but what a great find. also happy to hear that most of the kitties have new homes. have a nice weekend.
I think you are absolutely right, pretty useful things I just don't like that they are only about 20cm underground I would have put them at least 50cm so they are nice and solid 🤗 have a nice weekend
Bahahaha😂 pausing at 17:10 because i seriously thought you fell down the well😂😂 , let me coment now though, that im thrilled for you both about your new hot water shower❤
Ahh i luv you both your so genuine you both appreciate every little thing you have and what your given,and what a job you both have done around the well😊 maybe dave you can hide a few beer done there when you get thirsty when you have to walk round you land 😅 only saying😊❤😊❤
Quite the find! The water must be at or near its lowest level for the year. In future years you may run to low this late in the year. Your ride on mower will likely fall short of the mark when you try to make mulch with it. You need a chipper. How is the tractor? Does it have a pto? A chipper there would be great (maybe too expensive). All that vegetation plus future tree pruning should improve your soil if you spread it so the grass grows up through. The need for irrigation should be reduced and crop yield improved. The machine’s motor needs to have several horsepower..a commercial machine not a domestic garden one. In the long run a worthwhile investment. Bon chance..
Yesssss you understand that's exactly the plan to mulch and improve the soil, make shade to lower the ground temperature and irrigate, oh and build a pond it will be lovely 😁 I think your right about mower it's only really good for grass haha tractor does have PTO but still not really running it started and is dead again I have got a few connections to replace on the injectors hoping this sorts it. I have a tiller and a brush cutter so I really need to focus on getting tractor running 😊😊😊😊 have a lovely weekend 🙏🏻
yes it will grow, but it does not like winter, here in Brazil we have lots of coffee plants and they die in the frost, maybe if you can protect it in the winter, here in the south of Brazil temperatures sometimes go negative Celsius, one year was -4C and all the plantation in the state died, then people started planting more north were is hotter and don't suffer from frost.
if that unit is what i had it does not repeat the same temperature so you will have to adjust the temp knob with each use so make sure you can reach it from the shower. I couldn't and that was a pain in the butt.
This one does which is handy as it is pretty high up hahaha. We have it on the lowest setting and it's still boiling but maybe in winter we will crank it up 🤗
What a crazy find on your property, and the huge work done to unfold it! Yes! Another jewel! Get rid of the wisteria completly around, its so invasive in water systems. I only worry about the years of leaves down that well plus god knows how many animals have fallen in which create an anearobic environment for toxic bacteria to thrive. Please be careful handling the wet brick lines etc. 10% Bleach water your hands etc, until you can clear all debri from well and use it. Dont give this water to animals. It needs to be tested for pathogens.please please stagnant water for years is harmful.
Yes wisteria is now another bane of my life. So it's brambles, wisteria and ivy all on the hate list haha. Yes for sure we will get the water tested first luckily the canopy above it made it so it doesn't look that full of debris but for sure it needs to be tested and then capped I want to make a nice wooden lid 🤗
Yes the good thing is that you turn the gas on and press the pump and then there is a switch on the shower head so you don't even need to touch the boiler which makes it super simple. Maybe Dave put it so high to stop me turning up the heat hahahah
How exciting that well is. I keep wanting to say, stop faffing around you two. Wells frighten me a bit, please keep it covered to prevent small animals, or Dave, falling in.
So, first of all how cute can a mini water heater be! xD About the well, looks like I was spot on Dave! My bet was 12 or 13m xD But great job with the cleaning both of you guys, and looks like you have plenty of water to use there! Dave, are you seeding coffee? looked like it!
@@escapetothequinta Eheheh I do know my caffeine, I mean coffee xD Hope you better luck than I had, I tried it and nothing came out of it, but true be said I did just left them there and never looked at the vase again xD (ADHD brain working)
Do they that's amazing unfortunately I have a very smashed up Oppo phone the only way this is measuring distance is it I drop it in well and count...... 1 hippopotamus.... 2 hippopotamus hahahah
Congratulations - having a well to provide water to trees and vegetables is a huge asset. ❤❤
Massive asset we are so happy there is water in it 😁
Well done! What a treat for your daily bathing
Oh I can't even describe the upgrade hahahahhaah thankyou
It is nice to see more space you open up on your land. Small hiding nooks. 👍
I know it's amazing that whole area could be 250m square and would be a perfect understory for chickens to Roam safely 😊😊😊
Pruning brambles without gloves must have hurt. Finding a new water source is always a plus. I love watching land get cleared and pruned. Your property is gorgeous. ❤️🇨🇦
Thankyou. That whole area could be lovely once it's all pruned will be lovely cover for chickens 😁 🐔
It would be a very satisfying vlog to see the well area and fence line cleaned up and cleared. You guys are doing an awesome job 😊
Yes that is for sure on my list I'm thinking maybe I do it all and film it to make one video in a few weeks or months so you can see it all cleared in sort of a time-lapse format rather then I bits 😊
So much fun… hot water!!! Yes👏👏👏👏
A magical secret grotto, who would have thought. Bonus well👏👏👏
I’m so pleased you are getting into a good place and hopefully you will be fully set up inside before Winter..
Sending love💕❤️💕
I like that description a magical grotto hahah so much more to clear but it will be a great environment for chickens and some cover from birds of Prey 😁
Dave your enthusiasm for the land and growing things is lovely to see
Awww thankyou I absolutely love it and would feel like I have won in life if I could inspire others to do the same 😊
Yay 🎉 for hot water!! That set up is fantastic!! I can’t believe you uncovered that well under all those brambles. That looked like a lot of hard word but so rewarding!! 😊.
So so rewarding ..... I'm still picking out splinters but it was worth it hahahaha I can start to imagine it completed now and it's getting me super excited 😊

So happy to hear the babies are getting homes (and also glad to see you covered the well opening). What a great find.
Thankyou ok need to make a proper lid at some point but this hopefully gives some cover so small animals can't fall down 😊
Hot showers must be great! It's great seeing all of your progress.
Such a game changer it's amazing thankyou and so good for what it is. Campers dream really

Ahhh that's a great tip thankyou 😊😊😊

Hard at work so much to do every step is great progress
Thankyou. It's so rewarding uncovering things 😊
how nice that you can take a shower outside, i am so happy for you. that well is very deep but what a great find. also happy to hear that most of the kitties have new homes. have a nice weekend.
Awww thankyou so so much. It's so deep isn't it haha have a lovely weekend yourself, any nice plans?
@@escapetothequinta yes i want to go out for a walk and after that i go to the beach. its so nice and warm here, also some wind
You can't beach an afternoon at the beach we haven't been in a while it's definitely on my to do list now hahah 😎
just take a day of and go to the beach, walt would love it too❤
He's definitely getting more used to the water now haha
I think hacking out brambles, to Take solar powered camp shower is the definition and picture in the dictionary of homesteading. Classic.
Hahaha indeed. Brambles don't quit hahaha
The well find really exciting.
I know right hahah so excited to work on it more 😊
All looking good keep rolling and rocking 💃🕺🤠👍
Thankyou I love you name the good life I used to love that show as a kid 😊😊😊
From other Portuguese homesteaders it seems the concrete post hangers are used to support vines.
I think you are absolutely right, pretty useful things I just don't like that they are only about 20cm underground I would have put them at least 50cm so they are nice and solid 🤗 have a nice weekend
You have such green fingers, I'm very envious, I could kill plastic plants lol ❤❤
Let's see if they sprout first hahahahhaha so far everything has done well here I'm very lucky 🙏🏻
I live in Ecuador and have an on demand water heater. It's great. Do protect it from the rain.
Good point i need to make a little roof for it 😃😃😃
I think you are going to need a brighter flashlight,
Hahaha it's only 1 led but it's really good at longer distances to pinpoint something but yes not the brightest to light an area hahaha
Think you are doing a great job !!
Thankyou Bob just taking each day as it comes it's a lot of work but super fun 😁
👍🇨🇦
Where abouts from Canada are you my brother used to live in Armstrong BC
Its like a secret garden of fairies, mushrooms and magic...
I need to give it a name like that. Mushroom kingdom haha or lothlorien..... My nerdy side is coming out now hahaha
Kingdom of the mushroom Queen!. Lol
Hahaha 🍄
Bahahaha😂 pausing at 17:10 because i seriously thought you fell down the well😂😂 , let me coment now though, that im thrilled for you both about your new hot water shower❤
Hahaha it was a 6 month joke in the making........ 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Ahh i luv you both your so genuine you both appreciate every little thing you have and what your given,and what a job you both have done around the well😊 maybe dave you can hide a few beer done there when you get thirsty when you have to walk round you land 😅 only saying😊❤😊❤
Great idea hahah 🍻
Have a great weekend you've got me wanting a cold one now haha
Hi yaa sophia n dave im from hertfordshire . welwyn gdn city ,yeyyyy love ur videos xxx
Garden city eh! Have you been to the Roman baths there? 🤗
Quite the find! The water must be at or near its lowest level for the year. In future years you may run to low this late in the year.

That’s a real find “well” done 😂🥰
Thankyou have a lovely weekend! 🤗🤗🤗
I figure you must be v excited to get the shower up and running shortly
It was a dream come true absolute game changer hahahahha
yes it will grow, but it does not like winter, here in Brazil we have lots of coffee plants and they die in the frost, maybe if you can protect it in the winter, here in the south of Brazil temperatures sometimes go negative Celsius, one year was -4C and all the plantation in the state died, then people started planting more north were is hotter and don't suffer from frost.
Ahhhh so I need to keep the humidity up and also in winter get it inside it in a greenhouse thankyou so so much 🤗🤗🤗
if that unit is what i had it does not repeat the same temperature so you will have to adjust the temp knob with each use so make sure you can reach it from the shower. I couldn't and that was a pain in the butt.
This one does which is handy as it is pretty high up hahaha. We have it on the lowest setting and it's still boiling but maybe in winter we will crank it up 🤗

Yes for sure we will get the water tested first luckily the canopy above it made it so it doesn't look that full of debris but for sure it needs to be tested and then capped I want to make a nice wooden lid 🤗
Sophie, can you switch the shower on if you were alone it looks awfully high up there on the wall.
Yes the good thing is that you turn the gas on and press the pump and then there is a switch on the shower head so you don't even need to touch the boiler which makes it super simple. Maybe Dave put it so high to stop me turning up the heat hahahah
How exciting that well is. I keep wanting to say, stop faffing around you two. Wells frighten me a bit, please keep it covered to prevent small animals, or Dave, falling in.
Yes I want to build a wooden cap so little animals can't fall in and drown as there is no way they could get out. Have a nice weekend 😊
I think it's about 20 to 30 feet deep without a lot of water. Bore hole week? That sounds naughty 😂
Hahahah and yes your pretty much spot on with the depth. Would be nice to send a camera down there hahah ,🤗
nooo ever bn to roman baths have you 2 ???? xxx i was born in stalbans , went school stalbans x
Yeah there lovely definitely worth checking out if you are close. Have a nice weekend ☺️😁☺️
So, first of all how cute can a mini water heater be! xD About the well, looks like I was spot on Dave! My bet was 12 or 13m xD But great job with the cleaning both of you guys, and looks like you have plenty of water to use there! Dave, are you seeding coffee? looked like it!
Yes it's coffee!!!!!! When it grows in about 5 years we will have to enjoy a nice cup hahahahahha
@@escapetothequinta Eheheh I do know my caffeine, I mean coffee xD Hope you better luck than I had, I tried it and nothing came out of it, but true be said I did just left them there and never looked at the vase again xD (ADHD brain working)
Have your sprouted yet I just have a pile of dirt still haha
@@escapetothequinta Nothing yet! Just looked at it! xD
Same just dirt for me
Do you have an iPhone they a distance measurer, or on your laser level doesn't it have a distance measurer?
Do they that's amazing unfortunately I have a very smashed up Oppo phone the only way this is measuring distance is it I drop it in well and count...... 1 hippopotamus.... 2 hippopotamus hahahah
❤😎
🤗🤗🤗
Can you adjust temperature
Yes, we have it on the lowest and it's amazing maybe in winter we will turn it up a bit..... It's a game changer we love it 😃
Boo yes
Thankyou 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Tambien tienen un arbol de nispero
Is that what it is oooooooh nice!!!!! 🌴
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thankyou 😍
Get someone who knows about wells to help clean and get it up and working if possible
Yeah for sure. We defined want to test the water before we do anything to make sure it's not riddled with bacteria 🦠 😊
