    So nice to see Luke back to work! Good luck for your knee, Luke, and for your back considering all those heavy beams! ----- Lovely Sarah, I notice that cute Maggie and Peppa - fenced in - are still under "punishment", because they had been filling their belly in neighbours veggetable garden ... For us followers it's understandable and so cute that these lovely two girls always have in mind neighbours grapes and their vegetable garden, but I guess that it's less amusing for your kind and really patient neighbours...., hehe.
    Dear Luke, I can't await to see your outdoor kitchen progressing after so many hot summer months. Take care of yourself with these heavy beams and both of you, stay sane!

    She is a super dog , so happy running free around your property , we have never seen her misbehave, such a beautiful dog.

    Very nice progress!! I just love how everything is reused and repurposed with no waste. I never knew corn stalks were sturdy enough to be reused like that. 👍
    Great log work Luke!! It's going to be awesome. Can't wait to see you cooking up feasts with all the friends gathered around.
    Every time I watch your videos I wish I come and give you a hand. But I've never even had a passport and there's an ocean and half a continent between us. Also, if I ever came there I know I'd never want to come home. 😁

    Hey ! guys, pick and use the green tomatoes in Chili Verde or salsas.. Waste not , want not. They can also when green be use as would tomatillos. Don't forget you can plant lots of greens and things like broccoli , cabbage , kale and collards for fall. That's if you start now before the winter comes or First frost , if occurs in your Area. I am and am in Texas, the Central Part. Have a great Sunday- I had to give this bit of Info as I sit and Crochet before starting our Evening Dinner. Ninette Bird- The Caribbean Wife. Tx

    Great editing Sarah, loved the musical start - though you might need to add some pop up name tags for the plants. What was the huge vegetable you picked? Are the red berries edible.
    Wonder how the pigs would fare if their corn was cooked with a bit of butter on it ?😂 The squirrles by my dad love stealing the corn from the farmers fields and my dad ends up with the empty husks all over his fields.
    Now where to start on Luke and his H&S 🤔🤣🤣 Nice to see the summer kitchen moving on. Hopefully be ready for Dirk and his inspection next year???
    That laser will come in handy with all the building work for the ruin. The nice thing is,with all Luke is learning building the summer kitchen, your ruin will have an epic wrap around porch made by Luke and his chainsaw (and the trusty step ladders!)

Next time you feel low just remember to say hello and remind yourself you have the most awesome land, wonderful friends and the best and cheapest bars in the world and a Festa for everything - just come back from the parsnip Festa now and the top of the Estrella and what a scorcher.

    Luke, you need to invest in a Japanese hand saw and an Alaskan mill for your chain saw. And Luke please get a set of chainsaw chaps. Safety boots and a proper helmet / eye protection for chainsaw use.

    • @lukeandsarahsoffgridlife
      @lukeandsarahsoffgridlife  9 місяців тому +1

      Can't wear the chaps .. get too hot in them. I prefer keeping my legs out of the chainsaws way and always holding it properly so the safety switch stops any kickback. Eye wear I wear most of the time..I do forget sometimes, have to be better with ear protection for sure.. my clogs are steel toe and help a lot with my back cos they are super supportive (what I used to wear as a chef). I am getting better at safety...
      Not quite there yet though 😄

    Luke is a workhorse! He will have that kitchen up in no time. Liked the way you reuse the corn stalks. Almost everything you have is usable in other projects. Nice to see your friends visiting and sharing a meal together. Maggie and Peppa tore into that corn, lol. Molly notices all these changes and I think she may like them. Your garden is looking so nice. Hopefully you can catch the rain to fill up your wells. Enjoyed your video. Catch you next week, take care.

    What lovely produce❣ Such nice corn for the piggles. Aww, I wanna help ferry tiny chicklets🐤🐣🐥 in a box 😄! I was wondering how your upside down tomato plants turned out. Maybe they'd be more productive without pepper plants competing from above? Sarah, you really put those weeds in their place! and your other plants, too, with cornstalks! brilliant 😃👍🏼
    Luke is a wonder. With multiples of him is how Stonehenge was built I'm sure! Uhm... how many ☕s buys some pretty scaffolding? It'll still be useful to treat the posts, do tall jobs (to get up to mow the green roof??).
    Yay!! 🙆🏻‍♀️ Nick & Ange and Carissa & Ewan, and Frankie & Dioggo❣

    😂😂😂😂 I knew it was going to be Luke and them boards!🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Safety First!" RIGHT!! UNDER THE LOG!! 😂😂😂😂 YOU MADE MY DAY! I was telling you, but obviously you couldn't hear me, to put one side of the log on the top rung of the smaller ladder while you walk up the taller ladder and place that end. Then just grab the other end and take a few steps up and place the log! Of course I have a bad back and that's just I suggestion! I Love your Channel! (I miss the white things jumping and head butting). I won't mention them again. Sarah mentioned working on there place, which, ya know. But still great! I love Project Portugal, Nick is a Master at Everything! I didn't see Angs' finger wrapped, so this must be before that. WHAT was Wrong with Luke? Did I miss something! 🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣🤗🤙

      Digger has a hydraulic leak.. will use it for the central column and the mother beam but trying to keep its usage to the minimum. The ones I put up so far really aren't that heavy 😄

    Why the hell is he not using the mini digger?!! That bucket arm is the perfect tool for that job, handles the log like nothing

      The digger has a hydraulic leak so I'm trying not to use it. So far the beams I've put up really aren't that heavy. I will have to use the digger for the central column and the mother beam because they are heavy...

      Digger has a hydraulic leak.. will probably have to use it for the heavier central column and the mother beam but trying to use it only when absolutely necessary

      I do have another hydraulic leak so I'm avoiding using it for now till we fix it. Will probably use it for the central column and the mother beam.

    Maybe wearing a hard hat would be a wise idea. I was worried the whole time I was watching you with those heavy logs 😳🪖

      I'm getting better 😄 I do wear glasses most of the time... I do have to up my game when it comes to ear protection though

      You can't imagine the amount of misunderstandings and confusion a person has who's lost most of her hearing (and who doesn't like wearing hearing aids). Daily. 88yo now, but worked many years without ear protectors 😔.
      Also hearing loss adversely affects brain function (memory, speech, walking, etc).

    Oh my goodness, Luke is going to kill himself. There has to be a safer way to raise those timbers.

      @lukeandsarahsoffgridlife  9 місяців тому +1

      I put them up and down many times to make sure I cut them right.. mostly went smoothly. Looks much worse than it looks as they're really not that heavy

    Ok, Luke, you are going to hurt yourself! You need to hire a local for even a half day-it’s not worth causing irreparable harm to your neck!

      It looks worse than it is.. really! 😄 the logs really aren't that heavy.. yet.
