We had the same problem with the new oven, it’s just due to humidity in the coils. So increase the temperature slowly over time so that it can “dry up”, do so such that it doesn’t trip. After that it should be fine, save yourself the cost to engage an electrician.
Good call. Funny enough when the technician came (the equipment is new and under warranty), the power didn't go out. The very next time I used the oven with the owner present, it went out. They increased the power and we haven't had the issue in the half dozen time using the oven since. - Josh & Kalie
Towel heaters are great for drying. Not just a warm towel. They’re usually more efficient at ambient heating than blowing systems. Also, if your beds have legs, just buy some inexpensive bed risers (tall “feet”) that will give you more storage space underneath. Ikea makes great under bed, semi-wheeled, enclosed storage bins for under beds. Definitely need covers to keep the dust out. Too bad they didn’t install ceiling light/fans as they double the aircon efficiency and lower your bill!
As much as I can take on my backpack trips to the EU is synthetic "quick dry" clothing that can be washed in the bathroom sink before turning in and dried by morning on the towel heater. We need more of those on this side of the pond!
Towel warmers are also great for drying clothes from the washing machine if you need them in a hurry. I wish ours were usable year round, ours can only be used while we use the heating.
Perhaps I am missing something, but why isn't simply swapping those two offending cabinet doors with their hinges a quick fix for what appears to be a mistake in the installation?
You didn't miss anything per se. We just haven't had the owners rectify that to make it more functional. We just moved in. First month's rent was Nov. 1. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats on the new place. I think the oven problem is related to the power contract. It works fine untill the heater and refregerator and all other things start working together at same time and turns it down. Try to turn off other strong things like the water heater and and it might solve the problem when using the oven. Or contract more power.😅
Thank you! Thanks for the comment as well. It's likely that, that's what it is. Funny enough, the technician came and the problem didn't occur! Then we had the owner come over and the first time we used the oven since the techs left, it happened. He increased the power and we haven't had an issue since. We've used it maybe half a dozen times. - Josh & Kalie
I'm new to this channel and already I love it. Watching first thing Sunday morning and needed an uplift - which you gave me - thank you! I haven't moved in awhile but plan to - such a good reminder that little things always need to be reworked in a new place. You two are so sweet together - thanks for doing what you do!
Congratulations on the move! We had the same power outage issue initially when we had moved. Apparently the potência kVA wasn't adequate. Once this was right sized, there were no more outages. Enjoy your new abode!
You guys should consider getting the beds that lift (they have strong springs and you lift your mattress - like a trunk of a car) and have storage underneath. We did that with our place and o use that big storage for luggage, Xmas stuff and extra pillows and blankets Also what was the large oval hole in your kitchen ceiling, we were curious
At the moment, we have our storage solutions solved. The owners bought the bed and we're not sure if we want to buy anything for this apartment like that. But good idea nonetheless. The large oval in our kitchen ceiling is a light! I guess we forgot to turn it on and show it because when we filmed the walk through there was so much light coming through the windows. - Josh & Kalie
Hi Josh and Kali, From San Joaquin Valley in California. You do very good videos and I watch them all the time. Your new apartment is very nice, and you made a good choice, The extra space will help you adjust to the spaciousness of your castle when it's finished. Good luck with this place in the meantime.
Taking your words to heart, you got moving! And you'll do it again in about a year. One good thing about moving, it helps you keep from accumulating 'things'. Looking forward to seeing your build come together!
Yes! Thank you! We got to get rid of quite a bit and not because we don't have space to store it but we saw that got used and what didn't. It was nice. Thanks for the encouraging words! - Josh & Kalie
Our landlords wanted to furnish it and have the furniture match the level of the apartment. They had an interior decorator come in and furnish the place. The only thing we needed to get was the work table for the computer. It's about the same distance on foot. - Josh & Kalie
My husband is the cook and I am the dishwasher... until a year ago when we finally installed an actual dishwasher! 👍 We're in France and got a tiny one (40cm wide) since that's all the space we had, but it is actually perfect to fill up with three adults' dishes of the day and run it over night.
That's awesome! That's exactly what we're finding now to be honest. It's a good rhythm and not washing dishes gives us more time to do other things. - Josh & Kalie
Debra here. Can't believe we ran into you on the streets of Porto! My husband thought I was crazy! But it was like seeing an old friend. We are from Santa Monica, CA and seeing people in the public eye, on the hiking trail is not a strange occurrence for us and always give they their privacy and space. But I had to reach out and let you know we are big fans. You have been most helpful over the years. A little background on us...We started our search in summer of '22 and followed most of your vids on where we would want to purchase. Our first trip to Portugal was winter of '23 and found our new home in March of '23 with the help of our now dear friend realtor from House Hunters International. We purchased in Sesimbra, just one beach town away for Setubal. We are very happy there but decided that getting residency was to restrictive for us. This was our first trip to Porto and have really enjoyed! All our best, Debra and Bradley
So happy for you all. Michelle and I are also moving in December to Póvoa de Vazim. We decided we miss the beach life too much and found a great place right on the water. The town is also very flat which makes mobility a lot easier. Thanks for the lawyer reference we will be using them to gain our citizenship .. big next steps
Thank you very much! Congrats to you and Michelle. We are moving forward as referenced near the end of this video. Things are progressing on the construction side and I should have another update soon. We like Póvoa de Varzim for those characteristics too. Maybe we'll see you walking around there. Thanks for the feedback on the lawyer. :-) Have a great weekend. - Josh & Kalie
On my scouting trip in October, Povoa de Varzim was my favorite place we looked at but we ended up renting something in Matosinhos. I will take another look at Povoa when we're in the market to buy.
@ we looked at Matosinhos but found the oil rigs and other industrial components not to our liking. The view in Póvoa de Varzim is uninhibited also they have a great sport center and pool nearby for exercise
Congrats to you three, and thanks for providing us the tour. If you haven't found a shower caddy yet, we like the IKEA "KROKFJORDEN", specifically the corner-shaped ones. Get more than one and each person can have their own.
Congrats on the new place. Those kitchen cabinet doors can probably be easily switched to open in a more convenient way. That is something that drives my wife crazy too. And if the closets are Ikea or similar you should be able to add shelves and customize them more as well. Here's to comfy living while building your home. Blessings, Bob and Karen
Thanks, Bob and Karen! Great to hear from you. We're not sure if we're going to bother asking our landlord to get it switched. Our brains are now used to opening it the way it currently is. - Josh & Kalie
It depends here. You can get it furnished or unfurnished. The weird thing is that a lot of times when you buy a place, you might not have any appliances or light fixtures! IS it like that in the Netherlands? - Josh & Kalie
Indeed. I found it odd that someone explained to me that in Austria and Germany, renters usually must purchase modular kitchen cabinets and take them from apartment to apartment if they move. They then explained to me that's why some of them we see at IKEA here are configured quite differently from typical US cabinetry.
The apartment looks quite nice. How far is it to your old neighbourhood? I'm not at all surprised to see the bidet in the full 'bath'room, that is where they usually are - and where the adults would normally be. Kalie, I'm curious about the Malo Clinic. I just had a look at their website and I'm thinking it would be a good idea to see someone. My teeth have been shifting the past couple of years (really notably, especially in the upper front teeth) and I'd love to find an affordable way to fix them. By any chance do you recall the cost for the initial consultation and roughly what it's costing you to go through the process? They don't have any prices listed. Obrigada ~
In Spain at least if you use over a certain amount of electricity in a set period the electric will trip, its a number agreed with your electricity company. Not sure why they do it as it never happened to me in the UK but its a thing.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. We actually didn't have that difficult of a time because our old place was furnished and our new place was furnished. We hand carried some stuff. We moved the bulk of things with 2 different sets of friends that allowed us to pack their car and we drove it over. We didn't need a moving company. We even took the opportunity to get rid of things that Cia no longer played with. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats to both. I wish you very happy in the new home. I thought I would invite you to come a bit to the south, lisbon area, but then I saw Josh saying "Eu sou tripeiro" and both of you with that blue jersey and I thought naaa, they already made their choice hahaha. Cheers
CONGRATULATIONS !!!! your appartment is marvellous !! Josh complained about the kitchen cupboard doors ? Beware, it´s a common issue !!! I left the upper door half open, searched for something that fell to the floor, and afterwards got a whole in my scalp 🤣
Oh no! You're right. It's happened to me. Kalie doesn't have that issue. LOL I've had to do a Matrix a time or ten. Thank you though. We appreciate it. - Josh & Kalie
Update. The oven situation is sorted. The closet lights flickering were very likely because Kalie and Cia didn't know where or understand how the sensors in the closet door worked to switch the lights on. They were probably covering it with their arms or other body parts. LOL The hot water, we're still working on that one. - Josh & Kalie
Hey great video! I didn't see anyone else comment on this, I am interested in the Malo Clinic offer and would love to hear about your experience with them. The link doesnt seem to work just goes to there home page.
Hi! Thank you. Yes, the link is to their page. Kalie can share her experience with you if you'd like to email her questions at info@expatseverywhere.com I hope that helps. - Josh & Kalie
Hey guys, we’ve watched just about all your wonderful videos and it may have escaped my already forgetful mind, but why haven’t you guys purchased a condo or house?
No problem. You might have missed some videos. We've indeed bought a property and it's being renovated as we speak. Thanks for watching. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats on the new place. I’ve been following your new build, though for some reason the channel has disappeared from my TH-cam subscription page. Can’t find it when I search either on Apple TV. Did you take that down?
Thank you. We had to hide it right now but I'm going to continue editing videos. It should be back up in 2 weeks and I'll explain in a future video what happened. Construction has continued. - Josh
Thank you, Jon. No, no baby. We should have another episode in a couple weeks. There was a small Vodafone outage this week from Monday night until Friday so it killed productivity this week. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats on the upgrade! I thought your house build was done lol. Anyways, how is whiskey shopping in your area? Chaves is very limited on the bourbon selection. I have a massive collection though. I'm just not sure if I can bring them in a shipping container.
Thank you! 🙏 We wish it was finished! Whiskey shopping isn't too bad but it's the duty free shopping that allows us to build out what we've got. - Josh & Kalie
Thank you. The channel's doing about the same to be honest. :-) We'd love to get to 100k subs in 2025. Wanna help us?! :-) Seriously though, thanks for the comment and support. - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywhere Your channel will likely grow exponentially post the November disaster…. Maybe time to update some of the BEST CITIES videos with rent prices? I think I have suggested it before,but something similar to “House Hunters” would bring you the big bucks. Your channel is my fave.
First, congratulations! Second, why are you contorting yourselves to make the small bathroom work instead of moving into the master bed/bath? Just do it and make yourselves comfortable, especially when you plan to move again in one year.
Thank you! You might be right but we do like that Cia has her own bathroom and stuff. We like that she's got the bath because we're not bathers. - Josh & Kalie
@ExpatsEverywhere We're from Fort Lauderdale, we understand lol Awesome brewery. We wish Baobab or Catraoi could get their Maple Bacon Coffee Porter 🤙🏼
Hi Simon, just to be clear, we didn't move from Spain to Portugal. There were 8 years or so between us living in Spain and then moving to Portugal. We did do a video comparing the two here th-cam.com/video/UnTLCGGA0-c/w-d-xo.html - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywhere Yeah, so you did move after 8 years in Spain. I watched that video, but it just wasn't 100% clear to me "why" you moved other than a better apartment.
@@simon.knudsen For clarification, we lived in Spain from 2009 to 2011. We left Europe for Asia until we moved to Portugal in 2020. In this video, we show that we moved from our old apartment in Porto to our new one in Porto. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats! And bidets are great and a must have to wash your bum 😅 and if you think about it, the only way to really clean it. Imagine using toilet paper to clean our hands 😂 The butt is even more important to be washed instead of… 😅
Bidet are the best things EVER. You will get use to it and want to use it all the time over toilet paper. Try it for a week :-) BTW - we are renovating our Puerto Rico house and we are adding a toilet/bide combo. Good Luck on your own renovations. We should both be in our new home at the same time :-)
We just wish there were the Asian style bidets of South Korea and Japan. We got really used to those! Different warmth settings, you could control the spray power and direction, and it simply attached to the existing toilet. :-). We're just glad we don't have to wipe like the Romans did. - Josh & Kalie
Congratulations, guys. I'm glad you're progressing in spaces that work well for your family's style and function. "Bougie" per, Josh! Good to see you all. 🫶🏿👍🏾😊
Congratulations! Moving into a new build has made all the difference. Our first 2 apartment’s were old, cold and full of mold!!! Happy for you all!!
Thank you! Yes! So true. It can't just be aesthetic changes either, right? It's got to be a new build! - Josh & Kalie

Enjoy!!! Retired to Canelas from Miami 3-1/2 years ago. We’re living better than ever. Hope you and your family enjoy the same in your new home
Thank you! You too! Congrats on your move. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats Josh and Kaylie!
Thank you very much, Patrick! - Josh & Kalie

Thank you! So far so good. We appreciate the comment. - Josh & Kalie

We hope so! Thank you. - Josh & Kalie
I'm new to this channel and already I love it. Watching first thing Sunday morning and needed an uplift - which you gave me - thank you! I haven't moved in awhile but plan to - such a good reminder that little things always need to be reworked in a new place. You two are so sweet together - thanks for doing what you do!
Thank you very much, Cindy! This is a very encouraging message to read. We appreciate the love and we're glad to have you here. - Josh & Kalie
It is not a towel warmer, it is a towel dryer so your wet towel does not mildew.
I believe its the voltage causing the loss of power when using the oven , we had the same problem in our new apartment.
Congratulations on the move! We had the same power outage issue initially when we had moved. Apparently the potência kVA wasn't adequate. Once this was right sized, there were no more outages. Enjoy your new abode!
Thank you very much! It seems like that was our issue too. It appears to be resolved now. :-) - Josh & Kalie

Rented furnished, or just new furniture? Close to your new building? Hope to see some video and reviews of the new neighborhood soon.
Our landlords wanted to furnish it and have the furniture match the level of the apartment. They had an interior decorator come in and furnish the place. The only thing we needed to get was the work table for the computer. It's about the same distance on foot. - Josh & Kalie
Put the ‘expat everywhere’ sign on a stick/pole!
We need it in our life
🤣 We’ll start looking for sticks and poles. - Josh & Kalie
Congratulations.
I’m sure you thought about it. In the baby’s room, make sure to secure the door to the balcony.
Thank you. It's secured. - Josh & Kalie
My husband is the cook and I am the dishwasher... until a year ago when we finally installed an actual dishwasher! 👍 We're in France and got a tiny one (40cm wide) since that's all the space we had, but it is actually perfect to fill up with three adults' dishes of the day and run it over night.
That's awesome! That's exactly what we're finding now to be honest. It's a good rhythm and not washing dishes gives us more time to do other things. - Josh & Kalie

Nice new apartment. It comes furnished which is so strange to Americans. I notice that in the Netherlands as well
It depends here. You can get it furnished or unfurnished. The weird thing is that a lot of times when you buy a place, you might not have any appliances or light fixtures! IS it like that in the Netherlands? - Josh & Kalie

Congratulations on the new pad. Greetings from a happy expat in Barcelona.
Thank you! We appreciate the love from Barcelona! - Josh & Kalie
In Spain at least if you use over a certain amount of electricity in a set period the electric will trip, its a number agreed with your electricity company. Not sure why they do it as it never happened to me in the UK but its a thing.
Yeah! That appears to have been the problem. We got it changed and so far so good. - Josh & Kalie
China owns the electric in Portugal for whatever reason. Crazy!
Congrats on the new digs!
Thank you, Chuck! We appreciate it. - Josh & Kalie
FAN-ceeee! Congrats! Easy fix to swap directions in those cabinets.
It does feel fancy. Better than we deserve. - Josh & Kalie
Thanks for sharing. How difficult was it moving your stuff, did y’all do it yourselves?
You're welcome. Thanks for watching. We actually didn't have that difficult of a time because our old place was furnished and our new place was furnished. We hand carried some stuff. We moved the bulk of things with 2 different sets of friends that allowed us to pack their car and we drove it over. We didn't need a moving company. We even took the opportunity to get rid of things that Cia no longer played with. - Josh & Kalie
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you very much. We appreciate having you onboard as a subscriber! - Josh & Kalie
Congrats to both. I wish you very happy in the new home.

CONGRATULATIONS !!!! your appartment is marvellous !! Josh complained about the kitchen cupboard doors ? Beware, it´s a common issue !!! I left the upper door half open, searched for something that fell to the floor, and afterwards got a whole in my scalp 🤣
Oh no! You're right. It's happened to me. Kalie doesn't have that issue. LOL I've had to do a Matrix a time or ten. Thank you though. We appreciate it. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats on the new apartment. I have almost the same media entertainment center. 😊 Love that walnut look.
Thank you! We like it too. - Josh & Kalie
Nice place but it is concerning that your problems all seem to be electric, definitely needs to be rectified.
Update. The oven situation is sorted. The closet lights flickering were very likely because Kalie and Cia didn't know where or understand how the sensors in the closet door worked to switch the lights on. They were probably covering it with their arms or other body parts. LOL The hot water, we're still working on that one. - Josh & Kalie
This is really nice!
Thanks. - Josh & Kalie
The sunken sinks in my experience accumulated dirty between the sink and counter top. Watch out for that .
Hey Congratulations on your new home. Just moved to Nice, France, so I get the trying to figure out your new place. Enjoy!
Thank you very much! All the best on your search in Nice! What a city. - Josh & Kalie
@ Thanks! Actually found a nice place!
Hey great video! I didn't see anyone else comment on this, I am interested in the Malo Clinic offer and would love to hear about your experience with them. The link doesnt seem to work just goes to there home page.

So we're are you guy's now in Portugal? Is your renovation when in what part of Portugal as well? We we're in Porto but got tired of it too.
Adrian, we're still in Porto and the renovation is in Porto. We're definitely not tired of the city. We love Porto. - Josh & Kalie
Hey guys, we’ve watched just about all your wonderful videos and it may have escaped my already forgetful mind, but why haven’t you guys purchased a condo or house?

@@spkaiser1 You're not! We hope to be back up soon. 🙂 I'm editing on. - Josh
Still Portugal?
Once you are done your braces, wear your retainer every night for the rest of your life. They will shift again if you don't! Love your new place!
HAHA, Kalie didn't heed that warning.
Thank you. We love it too. - Josh & Kalie
Great video, nice new place! Not a fan of wallpaper, but I do like that, has a nice elegant look! LOL
Thanks, Bud! We're the same way but lately we've been seeing some amazing wallpapers in places! - Josh & Kalie
I guess you guys need to move on to a new better place to stay. By the way, what's the latest progress with your housing project in Porto.
The old place wasn't bad but this change has been great so far. The housing project is going well. Construction has continued. - Josh & Kalie
@ExpatsEverywhere That sounds wonderful. Have a great week ahead. 😀
Congrats! I thought maybe another bb on the way? BTY, how are you coming on a build update vid?
Thank you, Jon. No, no baby. We should have another episode in a couple weeks. There was a small Vodafone outage this week from Monday night until Friday so it killed productivity this week. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats on the upgrade! I thought your house build was done lol. Anyways, how is whiskey shopping in your area? Chaves is very limited on the bourbon selection. I have a massive collection though. I'm just not sure if I can bring them in a shipping container.
Thank you! 🙏 We wish it was finished!
Whiskey shopping isn't too bad but it's the duty free shopping that allows us to build out what we've got. - Josh & Kalie
You need to increase the kVA rate from your energy company.
Done! And so far so good! - Josh & Kalie
Nice ❤
Thanks 🔥 - Josh & Kalie
Channel must be doing well. Congrats:)
Thank you. The channel's doing about the same to be honest. :-) We'd love to get to 100k subs in 2025. Wanna help us?! :-) Seriously though, thanks for the comment and support. - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywhere Your channel will likely grow exponentially post the November disaster…. Maybe time to update some of the BEST CITIES videos with rent prices? I think I have suggested it before,but something similar to “House Hunters” would bring you the big bucks. Your channel is my fave.
How much rent will you be paying for this?
Thumbs up on the Wild Turkey Rare Breed. 🥃
Thank you very much. We'll share a drink one of these days. - Josh & Kalie
First, congratulations! Second, why are you contorting yourselves to make the small bathroom work instead of moving into the master bed/bath? Just do it and make yourselves comfortable, especially when you plan to move again in one year.
Thank you! You might be right but we do like that Cia has her own bathroom and stuff. We like that she's got the bath because we're not bathers. - Josh & Kalie
Reppin' that Funky Buddha, brochachoçao!!
:-) That Funky Buddha is some good beer! We have some friends that moved from Florida and he knew I liked it so he gave me the hat. - Josh & Kalie
@ExpatsEverywhere We're from Fort Lauderdale, we understand lol Awesome brewery. We wish Baobab or Catraoi could get their Maple Bacon Coffee Porter 🤙🏼
What are the main reasons you moved from Spain to Portugal?
Hi Simon, just to be clear, we didn't move from Spain to Portugal. There were 8 years or so between us living in Spain and then moving to Portugal. We did do a video comparing the two here th-cam.com/video/UnTLCGGA0-c/w-d-xo.html - Josh & Kalie
@@ExpatsEverywhere Yeah, so you did move after 8 years in Spain. I watched that video, but it just wasn't 100% clear to me "why" you moved other than a better apartment.
@@simon.knudsen For clarification, we lived in Spain from 2009 to 2011. We left Europe for Asia until we moved to Portugal in 2020. In this video, we show that we moved from our old apartment in Porto to our new one in Porto. - Josh & Kalie
Congrats! And bidets are great and a must have to wash your bum 😅 and if you think about it, the only way to really clean it. Imagine using toilet paper to clean our hands 😂 The butt is even more important to be washed instead of… 😅
:-) - Josh & Kalie
Bidet are the best things EVER. You will get use to it and want to use it all the time over toilet paper. Try it for a week :-) BTW - we are renovating our Puerto Rico house and we are adding a toilet/bide combo. Good Luck on your own renovations. We should both be in our new home at the same time :-)
We just wish there were the Asian style bidets of South Korea and Japan. We got really used to those! Different warmth settings, you could control the spray power and direction, and it simply attached to the existing toilet. :-). We're just glad we don't have to wipe like the Romans did. - Josh & Kalie
😂😂😂
Congratulations, guys. I'm glad you're progressing in spaces that work well for your family's style and function. "Bougie" per, Josh! Good to see you all. 🫶🏿👍🏾😊
Thanks so much! It's been a massive lift to our spirits and our ability to host people. - Josh & Kalie
