This jam-packed episode is over 30 minutes long.
In this episode, we go over the future house design, open the locks on 2 important doors for the very first time, start work on our septic tank system, and more.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the garage floor 😍 Remember the feeling of the first washing machine..you guys are such hard workers! Amazing stuff xx
Oh, the washing machine was just joyous! The garage floor isn't looking as lovely as it was there now haha, wood chopping and storing has taken its toll. Thanks guys, appreciate your comment and follow 🥰
Just found your channel and binge watching your episodes :) You are all doing incredible!! I have renovated houses in France, the last one had no water, electric, bathroom or even a toilet so I know how hard it is! I have been thinking about Bulgaria for a while and not been brave enough... yet. You are all really inspirational and I hope you are loving life x
Ohhh wow, thank you so much 💓. And how incredible that you've renovated French properties! It's so tough, but it's definitely worth it we're sure you'll agree. Thanks for binge watching, hope to have you coming back for the next episode ❤️
Just found your channel. Ex pat living in US for 20 years but you guys are amazing and brave to move with two young children to an unknown space and country!
This renovation is also incredible!
Good luck can’t wait for more
Really cool. I love those long format videos and the cliffhanger at the end.. Can't wait!
The rakia experience would be interesting.
I hope only for more content for the Patrions.
Oh, fantastic! We're glad you're enjoying it 😊. There is likely rakia footage somewhere!
We're working hard to bolster the patreon library, another benefit of being a member is if you're a patreon, you do get early access to episode releases 😊.
All in good time! We have plenty of footage recorded.
What a cliffhanger! Can't wait for the next episode
Thought it might get people hooked for the next one 🤣. It really is a legitimate cliffhanger for sure. Episode 9 has got some really painful moments, lol.
Hi there! A Bulgarian here. We're watching with keen interest. We'd never do something like that but it's fun seeing how you and others come and buy these old houses and try to save them. The house would likely be beyond saving, a good inspection would tell you more. The garage has to be dismantled and rebuilt brick by brick, roof and all. It's scary even thinking how much work that will be. I really hope you'd be able to salvage the house but I'm not sure if it will be worth renovating or just rebuilding from scratch after demolition. Best of luck and wishing you the best! Let me know if you need any advice or help with anything . :)
Thanks for commenting and following our journey so far. We think sometimes, these old houses just need people to love them again. Someone loved them before us, and if you can put that back into the buildings and the land, the land and house will give back to you 10 times over ❤️. We've got a lot more to show everyone! So keep following as we have so much content recored. Episode 9 coming out within the next week 😀.
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria Good to hear. After stripping down the walls until you see the bricks, if the foundation and the walls that carry the weight are in good shape, you could restore the house. The roof will also be a challenge. Do you plan to do everything yourself or you'll hire local builders to do it?
I had a lot of fun watching your journey getting to Bulgaria, especially those border crossings! I hope you'll keep uploading even if it takes a while to grow your channel. You're doing what a lot of us would like to be doing, getting back to nature and helping to preserve some of these old villages at the same time.
Hey Katherine, thanks so much for your follow, and also for your kind comment. We won't stop making content, we have every intention on continuing for a long time, we probably have enough content already for the next upcoming year stored and ready for editing. Seeing this house come back to life in this village is really quite humbling, exciting and the villagers love to see it too. It's been a great experience so far. We hope you keep following our journey ❤️
Recently found your site online. I am a ex Pat too, live in US.
Your neighbour is a true and caring person knowing the area and how much the cold winters will affect you. Caring , true people are rare.
Oh amazing! How do you find living in the states?
She is an absolute gem! A beautiful and lovely caring person ❤️
What a beautiful life for your family. Yes, there will be dips in the road, but just look at the rewards far outweigh the dips ❤❤❤❤
We couldn't agree more Meg 👏 🙌 thanks for watching and commenting.
What a little star ❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your bro will love the plastering 😂
There plenty to do 🤣
Every video makes me want to move a little sooner every time
We hope you get your dream soon 🙏
Great video as always. Cant wait for the next one x
Thanks Cari, glad you liked it. Looking forwards to bringing you the next one.
I have just signed up to your Patreon. I'm so impressed, and you and your family give me so much pleasure. Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Meg you are just incredible ❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much 💗 💖 ❤️
Great to see you well and still smiling, 7 kilo drum and the roof is fine we are Bulgarian now 😂 fantastic keep going
Glad we're keeping you smiling Chris! Or Christopher, what do you prefer? 🤔
We can't make everything look too pristine, we won't fit in haha.
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria u2 are great keep the content coming Chris
The textbooks are probably from the previous owner's granddaughter that would come spend the summer with them. It is a common practice for city parents to leave their children 'na selo' to get some fresh air during vacation months.
What an interesting thing to know! It would be great if we could drop our children to their grandparents to get some fresh air and some much needed adult time🤣
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria I used to teach English to Chinese kids online and all summer they would be struggling with the bad internet at Grandma and Grandpa's house. lol
what an adventure. happy i came across your channel. cheers
amazing, I am loving watching your adventure
Sesh den! I love it 😂 great video as always guys! Big love from little eden ❤
The dream of a sesh den where we can hide from all our problems... and the children 🤣🙃. Thanks guys, hope you're well.
Thanks
Oh Francis, thanks for the Super Thanks you legend ❤️. About out for you next episode 🔥🙏
love the way you call each other mate what area do you live in ? Mate
Would be so cool if the expats could form little networks to help save old houses - maybe they already do.
Great work keep it up I don't know about building in Bulgaria but as a builder in England and some in Italy any advice just ask 😀 🥰
Thanks for your help. I will save your name for future guidance should we need it! 🙏 Also, thanks for watching.
The dialogue is almost identical to the Newbys
Not a clue who they are? 😊. Tag their channel.
Yep, you are in wine country. People used to do their own wine and had a big barel of wine. There are reports of travelers from the 16th and 17th century passing through Bulgaria talking about it.
Also, you are in rakia country 😈. Anyway, Bulgarians love their drink with a big lunch or dinner.
Oh and btw, the sun in Bulgaria is harsh. Cover yourselves or put a few liters of protection creams on between May and October 😉
The summers are brutal for sure haha! We struggle with the summers here. As for wine country, it sure is, we have many vin yards around us! The rakia from some of the villagers is savage in strength haha!
Could the barn/garage become a small annex you could rent out or have family stay
Exactly our thought process, but we were thinking like a guest house ☺️
fuck it you are mint keep going love the vids
Appreciate it bud, certainly trying our best to bring good content for everyone. Glad you're enjoying it!
Hi how did u get round 90 day brexit thing
do you live near a town that you can buy tools and equipment from ???
Yes, only 10km away and its great!
What do you pay for internet?
About £8 a month 👍😄
Bro if you look hard enough you will fined guns in your home i did if you like i can take you out hunting up to you good eating keep up the good work 😬sech den means smoke loll
We've searched high and low for more treasures! But we were hoping to find a shot gun, it looks like someone sold them as the house was passed over to grandchildren when the previous owners passed. Where abouts are you based here fella?
@@frombournemouthtobulgaria sadly, even if you do find one, it's not a good idea to show it..
If the gun is a model from before the 1900's, you could own it with no big trouble. If the gun is newer, I'd suggest you not showing it and keeping it hidden. 😉
If however you get worried about wild animals in the area and know your neighbours, you could more easily get a licensed gun for self protection. Not sure about your residence tho..
I would suggest buying a new pre 1900 model long gun and keeping it somewhere just in case. If you find some black powder (not exactly legal without a reason and approval from the authorities [KOS]), you are set 🙃
Hey, jamesserle, where are you from. We can organise for a trip. I do shooting sports, but would like to try something different.
@@3swxfcewzn724 It's crazy that in rural areas like this people are discouraged from owning rifles and shotguns. Do you have bears and wolves in your rural areas? Where I live we are overrun with coyotes.
@@LadyIarConnacht Totally agree.
I am not a 100% sure, but I think that if you live in a rural area or in the mountainous regions, it would be easier to legally obtain a self defence license and buy a pistol, as you would "have a valid reason" to possess and carry a firearm. But, if you are going through that trouble, why not get a hunting license instead, as you would have access to long firearms, bigger calibers and would be able to hunt with a hunting ticket and your buddies.
Its a long a troublesome topic in most of Europe. I do see the need for regulations, but I also think that in Europe nonetheless, there are countries with good enough laws to allow a person to buy, possess, transport and use a gun without feeling like a criminal...
Can either of you speak the language?
Yes 😊 were getting a lot better these days 🙃
Why don't you invite some relatives and friends to help you out with the kids and work? That would make it so much easier
We definitely do along the way. We've had a few people over. But family actually not so much. Complicated I guess.
Please do not blaspheme.
there is no god.
