These people are amazing & talented. The fact they are smiling at each other during this project shows perseverance Anyone else might have seen this home as a knock down, but they had a vision. I bet the community was happy having an eyesore converted, to a beautiful dwelling.
Thank you, very much appreciated 😊👍🏻
Skinny be a youtube sensation needs to have his own channel 😂
Absolutely 👍🏻
Skinny, the Portugese Tornado. On the Fujita scale he's rated as an F5, leveling structures to their foundation with his sheer strength. 🤣!!! He never dreamed he'd become a world renowned TH-cam star 😄. If you see strange people lurking about they're probably Hollywood talent scouts. Just tell them we need him on board til this project is done. Wouldn't be the same without him 😁.
Cristina, how are the doors coming along? Can't wait to see them in all their renewed glory.
Have a great week!! 🥰🌿♥️
He’s a star!
He’s already been recognised in the local cafe. Everyone calls him skinny now 😂 Doors are slow progress but getting there. 😊👍🏻
I love Skinny’s just go for it work ethic! The banter between you two is awesome! 😎
We agree! Skinny is awesome, such a character. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏻
Absolutely love the reference to Faulty Towers. Bless you All!
Thank you ☺️
I love Skinny! Your videos are richer with this character in them. Deus abençoe Skinny. 🫶🏻❤️ And of course you, James and the beautiful Cristina 🥰
Maybe so but he’s a nightmare if you can’t get him to follow instructions…also dangerous and costly.
Skinny is great! Thank you Lorrie. ❤️
Oh James I love your relatingship with skinny 😂😂😂😂😂 your cracking me up
Skinny is hilarious
Love what you guys are achieving, skinny seems he can turn his hand to most things
He’s a great worker
I love what you do, man. I wish you good health and wellness
Thank you!
Yep, skinny truly is a bullet in a china shop 😂, love you guys!
Thank you 😊
I am blown away by your efforts. You make a great team, like minds, I guess. This reno is extremely challenging and you both step up to the plate over and over again, solving problems as they arise. In defense of Christina, I wouldn't want a bullet in my china shop! 😁
Thanks Mary. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! 😊👍🏻
"Shall I just move my truck" 😂😂 skinny is a wrecking ball 😂
He’s a bullet in a China shop lol
Haha!
Oh yeah! Skinny strikes again! He makes me think of the time we re did a bathroom, and had great fun throwing things out of the window and watching everything shatter on the ground below. It was just more direct. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
😄
I can imagine the fun…
With Skinny as soon as we start to talk about the next step, he is already there! Thank you Deborah.
Sarah Ban Breathnach said that “success in life is not how well we execute Plan A; it’s how smoothly we cope with Plan B.” Congrats on coping with this episode’s challenges with your humour intact.
A very true statement Sandy
Thank you!
😊
Definitely a Basil and Manuel moment as that rickety wall was coming down 😂. Hilarious!
Haha!
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys.
Thank you Arjan 🤗
Brilliant video!
Glad you liked it!
Always something that needs redone. Regardless, it'll be done right and look good. Bom dia a si e à equipa!
It’s all a work in progress!
Oh, I forgot to mention how good everything is looking.
Thank you!
Hilarious Manuel and Basil Fawlty moment there then James 😁😁😁
Haha.
Oh the joys of removal and renovation. Hidden things like bees, wasps and damage to vines and almost the truck. LOL
All in a days work! 😎👍🏻
Have to keep your workers happy. Mamma's job done well, looks nice.
Yes, thank you 😊
Great plan's 🎉🏰🍇looking more and more amazing every week!
Thanks so much 😊
I love your reference to Faulty Towers! Lol. Skinny is quite a bit like Manuel !
Skinny is hilarious! 😂
Lot and lots of pieces on this one. And, each one is laterally dependent on the previous. 👍👍👍
Very true!
Well done James, but I do feel for you trying to explain things to " Skinny", he seems to have his own ideas on things 😅 take care , sending love to you & Christina ❤❤❤❤
It’s not too bad, patience is the key, along with a bit of tolerance. Skinny is great!
Thanks Jayne, we always love your support.
❤️😊
Thanks Guys 👍
Nice Work & Video 👍
Thank you 👍
Love looking at the progress of the build! I have a thought- why not put the pergola where Skinny is placing the cement on the old stone walls? You could add more cement to the bottom so it is the same level as the walkway, and then keep the walkway (where the old pergola was that you took down) open for movement? Just an idea. Have fun you two!
Thank you Leah, we are putting a pergola all across the back, it’s going to look amazing 🤩
that`s a good content 😁😁😁🥰
Glad you enjoyed Raquel 😊
Hi James and Christina, such a lovely red rose bush! I keep wanting to cut a few blooms. How smart the walls look now. Beastly brambles, wonder how deep the roots are. Also wonder what variety the vine is...such a pity about the trees. Skinny is a brilliant, hard construction worker. Good team! 🥀🌹
Hi again,
I’ve taken some cuttings, it is beautiful!
Skinny is great, we just very grateful to have working with us.
I’m not sure about the type of grapes, here they just call them table grapes 🤔
Great episode. Don't mess with Skinny 😂 what is the explanation for the razor blades? Crazy
Hi Rebeca,
So…. The razor blades 🤔
Basically, they used them and because they’re too dangerous to put in the dustbin, they just put them inside the brick holes! Safety at its best 🤭
BOM DIA ! hello from Canada , great work , both you and Cristina and now Mr Skinny are such busy bees.
Hello Mary, thank you! We do have quite a lot to achieve. 😊👍🏻
Faulty towers…very fitting.😆
Faulty Towers - Manuel 😂🤣😂🤣 made me laugh out loud. Thanks for that.
Skinny is sensational, small and mighty powerhouse. Is Skinny English version of a Portuguese nickname or just your nickname for him? Curious
It’s just our nickname for him. He’s a one of a kind. 😊
Tarp or a bit of hardboard.
Save Skinny (?) Picking it up....
Not sure what you mean, but thanks for watching 👍🏼
Wish that I could find a Spanish version of Skinny in my village!
We all need a skinny in our lives 😊👍🏼
Hello James and Cristina, I'm so excited to see what the house will look like once the renovation is complete.
Do you have any idea how much it will cost?
Best wishes from Germany
Roland
Hello Roland.
Currently I have no idea! We haven’t worked that one out yet.
Thanks for watching!
In the US they used to discard razor blades in the bathroom walls.
It’s a strange practice
It seems that most English speakers don't realize that they speak with a particular dialect and also insert a lot of slang into their speech. When trying to communicate with someone who knows English as a second language, as they usually learn a standard dialect, one has to be aware of the words they are using. Best to keep it simple and standard...
(I know, I had a lot of practice while growing up in India)
You’re absolutely right! 😎👍🏻
Shame about the vines but there’s no stopping the skinny bull. Those orange bricks look like they have all the strength of a Cadburys Flake. Good idea to knock that wall before someone leant against it and ended 4 foot below.
Keep the vids coming
🇦🇺🫶🏻🇬🇧
Sorry Alex, I’ve read your comment and now all I want is a cadburys flake. 😂
@@The-Quinta Ha ha I’m sure you can remember the tv advert with the girl in the flowing blouse and the lizard that scampers over the ringing telephone.
I want one now too 😆 You can’t get them down here. They melt too fast 😒
🇦🇺🫶🏻🇬🇧
Funny Skinny found those blades inside the bricks. I watched an Asian guy rebuild his ancient house and when he was done with razor blades he’d put them between bricks or in between stone cracks. Didn’t say why. I guess it’s safer to dispose for them that way but boy if someone else gets cut with a rusty one, oops 😬 well, to each his own 😂😎🤦♀️
It has its advantages and disadvantages 😊👍🏻
American houses can be hazardous to work on .... th-cam.com/video/bnoxoLKbu1w/w-d-xo.html
Skinny seems to be more than a handful!
'Bull in a china shop' sums it up nicely I'd say. Sometimes these 'characters' are more hassle than they're worth though.
Skinny is a rough diamond that we are polishing
Hi, thanks for your videos, love to watch. we are heading to Silves with our family. I see your mini digger, did you bought it? I need one to on my land to flatten it out, dig some electricity cables. you have some connections to buy a solid machine digger? TIA
Hi, love Silves. The medieval festival is brilliant. Yes it was bought.
Unfortunately I don’t have any connections regarding buying these machines. It was just good timing for us. Right place at the right time.
@@The-Quinta thanks!
He’s exactly like Manuel 😂
Skinny needs his own comedy channel.
For sure 😊👍🏻
You are hard workers. Can't wait for the end results. Do you renovate one property to sell?
Someone has bought it and asked them to help renovate it.
Thank you ☺️
This property is not ours.
Sorry Cristina but James and Skinny need their own channel once in a while, they are sooo funny together 😂
😂 I agree!
But they both need someone to rein them in 🤣
Well done skinny lol
😊👍🏻
Why did you not drive the mini along & push it down before Skin is on demo.?
Because the stars weren’t aligned at that moment in time and it wasn’t in the script. 😉👍🏻
Poor old skinny, he like a bull at a gate, but he did a good job of your workshop wall😅😅
He certainly did 👍🏻
When you say renovations, is that the place you sold cause i thought was completed a few months ago. I’m hoping it’s where you live so you can start to enjoy your life in your own place, hope so!
Same village just another house they were asked to help renovate.
They explained a couple months back. This new project is a friend's house which I guess commissioned the remodel to them
Hi Sandra, this is for a friend, but we are also working on the house we live in. 😊👍🏻
So strange how narrow the road is through your village certainly not built for cars with its sharp blind bends.
Not that narrow buses drive through once a day 👍🏻
Que
What is Skinny’s real name?
Linda 😂
Dont they do zero swing diggers 🤔
Yes they do
The skinny and james show … THE PROBLEM SOLVERS.. better than little Britain. Portuguese laurel and hardy … laugh my sides hurt skinny the best Heath and safety assessor 😂
Haha! We do have some moments, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching Anthony. 😎👍🏻
Skinny’s had his weetabix !
Definitely! 😊
Skinny want's to get the work done and worry about landscaping later.
Skinny doesn’t have to worry about the landscaping. That’s the problem! 😂
How can you ‘ITCH’ your eyes? if anything you would ‘SCRATCH’ your eyes with your fingers. 😂🤣
Small details Margaret, small details!!
😎
Everyone knows a skinny 😂😂
They need too. He’s a legend!
I think you need an English speaker for a labourer 😊
Skinny speaks good English, maybe not in the right order, but good English 😊
I’d fire him
🤣🤣
He is tooooo good to be without him 😊
You are tired in part, because of your allergies, it knocks the c**p out of you! Trust me, I am familiar! Aaahhh, Skinny, don’t let him operate any machinery! 🤣🤣💕🇨🇦
Hayfever is awful. I haven’t had it for 3 years now it’s payback time.🤧
@@The-Quinta it seems to be a bad year, so much rain and everything is growing and spewing pollen like mad! Hope you feel better soon!
