Oh Wow, Christine! What a jam packed video! Most enjoyable. Was fantastic having you back home in CT for a short while and well done on your successful pasport renewal! Excellent and timeous service from your agent. What a lot of travelling involved, but in this way you also get to see new places in and around Portugal. I love the dark painted window frames iin the first Airbnb you stayed in inFiguiera da Foz...you could perhaps consider doing same with the window frame in your new bedroom you are busy renovating. Great feature. Happy for you that your furkids were so well cared for in your absence. The Baths hot water springs in Citrusdal look like an awesome place to holiday. The accommodation fantastic too. The farm really exploded with its spring/summer growth in your absence. Going to need much of your time and hard work to clean, but nothing that cannot be done. Sorry to hear about the toilet overflowing. ..seems like there could be a blockage along the line pushing the water back. Your 3 offers to your video followers are incredibly kind. You have so much experience in all these fields to offer and very big hearted of you to engage and assist, despite your already full, full programme. Take care and all the best with all you do!
Thank you! A dark painted window could look could as a contrast as well - I've got (all) the white paint, so let me start with that first and can always change colour later on. It used to be green, but if I were to paint it dark, I may do it in charcoal. Hopefully the plumber arrives! Trying to avoid the wasps in the outhouse is challenging! haha xx
I admire your love for animals. As a 3 dog plus 1 cat owner, I feel very hard to travel in Portugal. And going to the beach is very difficult. One year we went to Algarve, and it was a nightmare to find a beach where to be with my 2 dogs at that time, plus the rest of the family of 4 persons.
Thank you Teresa! I do hope to be able to make finding good pet friendly accommodation more accessible! Even if it is just my own list I share with others like yourself :) x
Wow, things have sort of exploded, both outside🌱and inside 🚽 You still sound optimistic. Fingers crossed you won't have to break up the entire bathroom!! Sending you positive vibes from Sweden💛💙, Katarina
I would agree the BR drainage system is a problem whether it be the slope or the size of the drainage pipe and certainly accessible clean outs an venting.
Thanks for the tip! I definitely think there is an issue with the slope regardless, but have a suspicion that it may be the trap not fitting correctly ? There is definitely no O-ring around the outlet either...and perhaps all of the above!
Thanks Antonio! I definitely don't have that :/ The slope they put the pipes down were 1:30 if I recall correctly. I'm hoping it is a fitting issue - I don't recall them fitting an O-ring on the connection between toilet and pipe - and it could be that connection as I can hear the flap, flapping... Still waiting on a plumber though a week later.
Hi Chris🎉Hell what a trip. Glad you managed to get the passport sorted. My son’s girlfriend has just bought an air b & b in Fuerteventura so if you ever get a minute any tip on how to get more bookings would be appreciated. Tony ❤️🇬🇧xx
Hi Tony, thank you! Wow, the airbnb sounds like it is located in a fantastic place! Email me the listing link and I'll take a look for you :) gmfchristine at gmail dot com :)
@@GirlMeetsFarm well done, you did your homework. Please don’t thank me, as a naval officer I and my kids were able to see the world courtesy of the tax payer. Enjoy your videos 🇨🇦
Este último alojamento onde esteve era caro e descuidado. Espaços mal aproveitados, má decoração e pouco limpo. Quando esteve ausente choveu muito e a vegetação cresceu em todo o lado. Agora que parou de chover e veio o calor, está uma humidade acima do normal. As alterações climáticas, fazem-se sentir por toda a Europa.
oh no not more issues with the renovations, if l was you l would rip everything out and find some decent builders and start over, not the best option due to expense, perhaps get nick from project portugal to help, and as for the person who was suppose to look after your land it's clear they didn't, get them to buy you new trees!
Hi Wendy! Such a shame - just as I start thinking I'm over any further issues with the renovations, something pops up! If the plumber who installed it is unable to come fix it, I will be asking for help from my friends :) I think I can save the trees - but sadly won't have a peach harvest this year. So one learns! :)
Get them to buy new trees???... Are you serious?... Is he responsible for the hail storm that destroyed most of the orchards in the area? Oh... I see...He should have opened his umbrella to protect the trees, all of them at the same time. LOL
Sorry you find my content disjointed. It is my real life and that is how it goes. So few videos of house progress as I am doing everything myself, alone and learning the skills too. I also work a full-time job and have to manage the farm too. So things move slowly.
@@GirlMeetsFarm Thanks for reply. I find your channel interesting and maybe bacause I came in late I cant seem to find a good before and after reveal. Best wishes and may your hard work be successful.
you have your hands full. It's a great thing that you help others and can be good for you as well.
Thanks Effie! x
Paradise,pulse.ban💚🧜♀️🤝
I hope you can get the bathroom fixed. It's more than once you have had a problem. I must be so frustrating.🙂👍👍👍🇨🇦

You need 1:80 slope and a vent on your sewer pipe. Maybe you could raise your toilet to get more fall?

Did you ask for him to weed your garden or just water. 2 weeks can certainly allow weeds to take control.
HI Joy! I did ask him to weed, but I think he may have had some personal obstacles during the time. :)

Took my son 12 months to renew his passport in China.
Wow! That is a very long time to wait and be unsure of when to receive it back! Glad he got it eventually Glenda!

@@donnacosta5633we've also had hail storms in Northern Spain the past couple of weeks, the veggie gardens have suffered too.
