Lovely sunny day to start a new project in. Yes, doing a roof is no simple task at all and especially when its on such an old building to boot.☺

And so it begins, the grand designs project! Good luck with the conversion works, Howard! I shall watch with great interest

Hey, make sure that you can still buy tiles compatible with what you are pretending to reuse, many old companies have gone down and many models aren't available anymore, good luck

Awesome project I was over in Central Portugal looking at property I have been looking forward to this series on the tiny house barn restoration ❤

Thanks Howard for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁, the dak tiles are cemented in because they will fly away when there is a storm and you have to protect the walls against the rain or all the sand and clay will wash out maybe put plastic or tiles on top of the wall, just saying.

Should take them of in rows as well then you have something to walk on, yes I have done before , before you ask and I used The Knack first and nextdoor was a builder.

Evening Howard, you harvesting veggies yet. I expect too have bramley's in about 2 weeks idf I can get a net on and keep the dam fox's from eating them, Tomorrows job for me. If you have done a roof before ok, if not then you start at the gutter and lay the tiles on top as I did see someone once start at the top and they were in tears before it dawned on them what they had done.

Hi & thanks for coming on the journey! This is the first "real time" video for a couple of weeks as I popped over to the UK to attend Shynefest... I made a little video that you can see on the @Shynefest YT channel...please do check them out! Hope you enjoy!

Great to see the progress. Stevo - You say it’s all a bit rustic - I think that’s your maths! - better than I would have done though! 👍👍👍🇵🇹🇵🇹 - and your cats are clearly mad…

This vid is a bit out of sync...oops! Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks Howard for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 did you connect the wood to the floor? looks a bit wonky.

Nice vids Steve, I remember you were DIY when I lived with you but not to this extent! Hope we can see each other once again in the future... Ciao Margaret (Marco) :)

Love your cats Howard- don't remember seeing them before? Nice shower for guests,♥

Nice video… looks like a success. 🙂 I am about to take some crab apple cuttings.. was wondering when you took these? Thanks! Also.. off topic… but did you make it to Portugal?

If you had gone outside this morning early or even at teatime tonight you could have had a free shower without even turning the water on., even orchestral accompaniment.

Los chantrail qué cruzan los cielos.. Si es más peligroso que un trozo de tapete.. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks Howard for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁.

Evening Howard, how's it going up there in the blue sky. Hope you are harvesting your veg now as my spuds are going over as about finished, carrots are huge and podding peas all week with one more crop left to pick. More fruit than have seen in years, plenty of Bramleys everywhere. We have rain coming it says over the next 4 days, is just a matter of which day will be light and which heavy, but as you can see the way the cloud has been gathering over the last 3 days I think will be very heavy at some point. At least will save me watering, which is what have been doing all afternoon.

Please bring back Rhythm of The 90s for 2025!!

pls never stop posting , howard

I enjoyed the evening tour Howard, thank you. You’ll have grazed so much on your way around that you won’t need your curry!

Thanks Howard for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 maybe put some straw on the ground in between of the veggies to keep the moisture in the ground if the ground gets to hard the roots can not grow.

Fabulous to see new bees have moved in, you were hopeful that would happen! How much time does Maia’s boyfriend spend on your quinta? I hope he has honourable intentions!

Evening Howard, your carrots are bit behind, have been eating mine for the last 4 weeks and new spuds. Have great pile of peas sat waiting for podding, but leave for morning as worn out today in the heat 82 this aft. No queen the hive will die. I see the old lady has lost her white hair at last, that's the latest I have seen snow go here since I arrived in 20. Could have done with those bees here in Feb when the plumbs were all out as it turned cold and got very little as too cold for the natural bees to work in. No problem of late as a massive crop of apples an brambles and my citrus is looking ok, but still satsumas in full bloom so can't tell yet how many of them there will be. My Persimmons is also covered i bloom so might get to try them as well.

Thanks Howard for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁 the queen was sitting on the landing platform lol.

Lovely that the bees moved in

Welcome to a Tuesday special - exciting news as a swarm of bees has taken up residence!

What is the distribution system like there? Where do you buy garden tools, fencing supplies or animal feed? I can't imagine Amazon being available in many of the rural areas.

Evening Howard, I see spring has arrived at last, almost in time to welcome the summer. did you look at those 2 machines I sent you. They are both available second hand. On E bay, how far away is another ? Have you picked anything from the garden yet as I am busy collecting food most days now, but still a couple of things not ready due too the cold nights

Thanks for the video Howard, some good tips for a relatively inexperienced DIY’er like myself. Good idea to form the frames on the ground and then erect them, saves working on a stepladder.

Very good use of the ratchet straps and clamps Drilling the timbers stops splitting and over all helps with the construction will you be puting a window 🪟 Do you buy your timber from yhe sawmill cheers keep up the great work 👍 💪 😀

thanks for your short 😇💗💗💗 love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁

Breathtaking views from your Quinta 😍. You guys are doing an amazing job with your place. Really enjoying your videos. Looking forward to your produce blooming. 🌞 The music is amazing❤ Keep going strong 💪

Is that song we hear before the 9th minute, sung in Hebrew? Pretty!

Hello Howard the Pegola is a game changer. There are a lot of TH-cam off griders will find this educational add some more timbers to cover the roof to keep the caravan cool in the hot summer grand job

Why don't you and Eve pop over on Sunday afternoon, then you can see mine and I can give you some very sound advice as I have done both farming and self sufficiency for many years now.

Evening Howard, you enjoying this English weather as i making things slow but heavy as the water that is going on is doing a lot of good. I see it's been 75 in western Scotland , typical in May as I was there nearly 8 years and a better place to grow things than it was in England as most things were ready 2 weeks even 3 sometimes in front of my farm in the Vale of York.. It has to turn next week as could do a bit of heat now to speed up the citrus which has been flowering for over 2 weeks now. Have got a massive crop of apples especially Bramleys so don't forget to pop in and get some when they are ready.I did a bit of watering last week, did the whole garden took me 3 hours with the hosepipe, expecting warmer weather that they said was coming and am still waiting for it so not done again yet. I wouldn't have bought the rotavator as it doesn't drive it's self so you are walking on what you have done. A Howard Gem or a Honda 800 will do the job far better as both are self propelled and you walk at the side just to steady it. I had the Honda when in Scotland, very useful in the greenhouses.

Homesteading lessons: always know where your buried services are, be sure to store materials out of the way, take the advice of your cat in good grace! Good luck with the growing season, Howard, totally understand the need to reduce video output as you get busier on the land. Look forward to seeing your progress 🌳

Hello Howard some one starting out wants to purchase small piece of land to set a small caravan off grid set up any advise would be great love your videos when it gets very hot would it be better to have the caravan covered in the shade to keep it cool

There’s nothing wrong with the cat 🐈 footprints just paint them it adds character 👍✌️🤙❤️🇵🇹❤️

Don't you have mains sewage up there. So why not install a soak away is the next best thing to mains and easy to install as you have the fall for it. All my previous 3 small holdings had a soak away which worked very well.
