😂 "and I don't want to falsely accuse them..."😂 Can you see armies of ants marching to the town hall complaining about being falsely accused. Absolutely love your channel. ❤❤❤from the Netherlands
Love the way the windows look after you added more stones and mortar. It is remarkable what you were able to do. The workbench is a terrific addition. I just love how easy breezy you both are, working hard and enjoying life. ❤
Great work bench Ricky and Victoria, that idea would be great for a kitchen bench. I love your videos, full of enthusiasm, laughter and love for what you are both achieving in your life.
You’re the best example of Expert Renovations & Healthy living! Benches r gorgeous! Victoria always takes the time to make a Healthy drink or snack from scratch & it hasn’t gone unnoticed! I have been here since day 1 & soon you will hit the big 100 subs & after that there are no limits! ❤ you guy’s🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
You two are such a joy to watch!! Absolutely a great job on this tables, a multitude of uses. What did you two do before you made the decision to take on this new way of life? Love how you work so well together! Hi, from Northern California!!
All work and no play makes Jack and Jill (Ricky & Victoria) dull. I always scour the internet for your videos. I have watched (I think) all your videos from the very start. You are both so pleasant and entertaining (albeit doing serious projects) to watch. Keep going and God bless.
8:14 To stay cool on hot days, you should drink hot tea (solo), which, even though it is hot, has cooling properties. Cold drinks provide temporary relief and tea provides long-term relief. this is what is done in many coastal countries. True story 😊
Fun as always. Clever Table, stone work, nice to see practical, last for years DIY. Poppy is so pretty I think every time I see him what a wonderful existence since you both took him into your loving care. Never miss a video, wait patiently.
7:30 Weirdly exactly this week I 'invented' a new recipe for our local Brazilian Cheese Puff with, well, a dash of salt, honey and some lemon drops. After baking them as usual, cut them in half and gently pour just a bit of each, then close it again. If it's new for you and you ever decide to try it, tell me about it. In Portugal it might have the same name as in here, 'pão de queijo'. Also, I had the exact same problem and realization about the seedbeds being too wide when I built mine some 15 years ago... Amazing work you guys.
Put tyres on the ground and grow your potatoes inside of them, you can go 3 up, when its time to dig them up you only have to pull the tyres up.You really need to build raised beds, much easier to work on, your back will love you, also, use straw to cover the beds, it will help with the heat drying the beds out plus you can dig it into the soil at the end of each season, building up the organic matter in the soil.
@@wendywalsh-pardey9439 It takes a long time for tyres to break down, even if it takes 6 to 10 years, you can change them, timber will rot especially cheap timbers like pine as I did, the worms and slaters plus rot destroyed them within two years, there's lots of materials you could use, but if money is a issue then you are limited, you could use railway sleepers, concrete, stones/bricks and mortar, old bath tubs, to name a few.
You 2 have come so far! this offering is SO well edited and delightful story telling, the visuals are all so wonderfully done . AND your growth as builder/stone masons / food growers is phenomenal. you both (all 4?) seem to be blossoming brightly in Portugal. Really. SO happy when I see a new video from this channel.
There is no summer for us in the Southern hemisphere 😮 But it doesn't stop me cracking up over you two lovely peeps. That bench or double bench is fabulous it's given me some ideas too. See you next week. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦🥶
The stonework under the window sills is perfect and the workbenches? Wow! Very clever design! Sorry about your potato-eating critters, that perfectly empty potato skin was kinda amazing! As always, beautiful videography and perfect background music. I thought Poppy’s haircut looked great and lovely to see Teddy having a snooze in the sun. Take good care❤
Very very jealous of your workbench! I'm probably about twice your age and have yet to enjoy such a useful addition to the house build! My knees do not enjoy crawling around on the floor to assemble things, so congratulations to you both for getting around to this essential while you still have functional knees!
The window sills look really nice, please make sure you check your shoes before you put them on,give them a good shake. We had to do that when we lived in Hong Kong because of the scorpion's.❤
I've truly enjoyed you two, your videos & the sponsored products mentioned in your videos. You all are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate, 😃. 20:21
That's going to be a very useful work bench. Is it me or has Ricky got a whole new collection of t-shirts after all his previous ones were destroyed when drilling out all of the concrete from the stonework.
We always enjoy your videos but had to laugh at the way you interact with each other on this one. We are quite a bit older but still do this too. It's what makes a relationship work and brightens the day. Awesome job btw! Rose & Michael
Noticed you have not put mulch in your vegetable beds. Pea straw or oat straw would be suitable (you will have sprouts but easily dealt with). This will reduce the ants as they like dry soil.
Victoria you did a great job of Poppies coat she looks so pretty. Lovely job on the stone work under the sills Ricky. The workbench is great, wonderful design and brilliantly put together well done x
Great job guys. The work around the sills looks great. We did the same thing with our bench years ago. It makes working with a drill saw so much easier. Ricky, hopefully one day you will build a workshop as we did to all the DIY projects you need to do. Nevertheless, You guys are killing it. All the best mates👍👍 Jim, Harriet and Yuki
I always love the opening of your videos to see the nature that surrounds you. Simply beautiful! Your dogs are such sweethearts! It looks like you're going to have a fun time refinishing the interior of your home. Hopefully some lighter work for a while. Enjoy your week!
If not tires, those huge aluminum wash tubs make great planters. You can even paint them if you want decorative planters. The nice thing is they're easy to move around and easy to keep your soil from washing away in rain. Since they're galvanized, no rust!!! I have a friend who painted them all primary colors and placed them around the garden. She had taken down a huge tree. She cut the trunk into big circles and used them as pillars for the tubs. If you want to keeps ants etc off above ground fruits and veg, wrap the plant in tulle. It works just as well as the commercial products for half the price. Your new bench would actually make a great kitchen island. Keep that design when you put in your kitchen. Add a shelf underneath about half way up for storing pots and pans etc. You could also use them as kitchen counters to make your kitchen adjustable to your needs for space or design.
I keep looking several times per week for new videos too! Just discovered this delightful young couple a few weeks ago and quickly binge watched all I could find.
Hi Tarzan & Jayne. Nice bit of carpentry Ricky, well thought out, and good idea for the break in the garden Victoria. Re the swimming pool filtration, how about a filtration company reaching out to you, to sponsor one of your episodes. Best wishes as always, Paul, Swansea 👍👍
Another thoroughly enjoyable episode in the books! You're getting very creative with your camera angles, Victoria and your giggles at the end were delightful.
Love watching your videos and look forward to each new episode so much. You have managed to create such a wholesome vibe for your channel. It’s my relaxing treat of the week(ish) to sit down and watch you guys go about your life. Thank you for sharing it here xx
I just want to say, How Enjoyable it is to watch you two. And Well Done on the work bench!!!!!
I totally agree! So enjoyable and awesome work bench!!😊
Thanks for watching Sandra ❤
😂 "and I don't want to falsely accuse them..."😂
Can you see armies of ants marching to the town hall complaining about being falsely accused.
Absolutely love your channel.
❤❤❤from the Netherlands
😂 Very true! 🐜 I don’t want to give the ants a bad reputation!
@@LifebyLiving spray water with a 50/50 mix of liquid soap and vinegar
Think your potatoes could have been eaten by wireworms more than ants.
That stonework is pure artistry ❤
Thanks Cat! It was fiddly work but I agree, Ricky did a great job 😊
Awww Poppy was lucky to have found you both.
We’re lucky to be her chosen ones! 🐕
@@LifebyLiving🥰
You two are not only such hard workers…you are so delightful!
That work bench would make a wonderfully functional kitchen work station.
It’s certainly sturdy enough! 😄
@@LifebyLiving just need some pretty tiles, brass hooks maybe curtains?
Love the way the windows look after you added more stones and mortar. It is remarkable what you were able to do. The workbench is a terrific addition. I just love how easy breezy you both are, working hard and enjoying life. ❤
Great work bench Ricky and Victoria, that idea would be great for a kitchen bench. I love your videos, full of enthusiasm, laughter and love for what you are both achieving in your life.
Having the bench in the tiny house has really helped to give an idea of space for the kitchen! 😃
The only TH-cam family I can’t wait to see every week!
Aaaaawwwwww, Poppy and Teddy have stolen my heart 🥰
If the local people see how you have done the stonework, they might realise they have a new stone mason
very true. Ricky puts a lot of thought into each project.
It truly shows!
Thanks Alan 🙂 I agree, Ricky’s doing a great job, I think the key is patience & practice (…and then a bit more patience!) 😅
You’re the best example of Expert Renovations & Healthy living! Benches r gorgeous! Victoria always takes the time to make a Healthy drink or snack from scratch & it hasn’t gone unnoticed! I have been here since day 1 & soon you will hit the big 100 subs & after that there are no limits! ❤ you guy’s🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
Thanks Laura! The benches are certainly going to be getting plenty of use! 😊
You two are such a joy to watch!!
Absolutely a great job on this tables, a multitude of uses.
What did you two do before you made the decision to take on this new way of life?
Love how you work so well together!
Hi, from Northern California!!
Everything is looking so good. That work bench is awesome.The stone work under the sills looks beautiful. Bravo guys.
It was a tight space under the sills but I think Ricky did a good job too! 😊
You two are lovely to watch. I feel you have life under control. Take care and keep laughing 🤗
Thanks Susannah 😊 we definitely don’t feel like we’ve got life under control!😂 just rolling with it!
All work and no play makes Jack and Jill (Ricky & Victoria) dull. I always scour the internet for your videos. I have watched (I think) all your videos from the very start. You are both so pleasant and entertaining (albeit doing serious projects) to watch. Keep going and God bless.
Thanks Raquel! Got to keep it lighthearted are there’s so much to do 😂
Clever design for the workbench, sweet and adorable doggies, phenomenal work on the tiny house, and best of all -- darn good company!
Thanx Reolink for keeping an eye out for these wonderful people
Ohhh!! You two make an old lady’s day!! How lovely to watch your banter, all while working so well together!😊❤
That building is a labour of love 💗
Just know the interior of tiny house will be amazing ❤
Thank you Jan ❤ We can’t await to get cracking on the inside!
Thanks for putting a smile on our faces on this rainy sunday 😊😊greetings from Belgium
Thank you 😊 and happy (rainy 🌧) Sunday Sabine!
2:20 Poppy with poppies
Your little cottage is looking so cute!
Great job with the windowsills Ricky.🎉🎉
Thanks!😊
Always interesting. Always entertaining. Thanks team 👍
8:14 To stay cool on hot days, you should drink hot tea (solo), which, even though it is hot, has cooling properties. Cold drinks provide temporary relief and tea provides long-term relief. this is what is done in many coastal countries. True story 😊
Love your attention to detail under the windows.
I can see where Ricky gets his hair cuts from now. Great job both of you, love watching the progress you are making.
😂 On all fours outside come rain or shine! ✂️
Fun as always. Clever Table, stone work, nice to see practical, last for years DIY. Poppy is so pretty I think every time I see him what a wonderful existence since you both took him into your loving care. Never miss a video, wait patiently.
It's so satisfying building a workbench by yourself, I did it last year, put my mitre saw on it and never look back.
Couldn’t agree more! We’ve only just started to use it yet can’t imagine being without it now! 😄
Joyful times. 😊
So good to see you and your projects. 🤩
Great workbench Ricky!
Victoria and Ricky you do realise you are both becoming specialist 👍
Great video, great workbench, great garden results and a gorgeous new trim for Poppy. Well done. Pauline
Thank you Pauline. The workbench is certainly going to see a lot of use! 😅
Summer has come, even in Sweden.
You're lucky it hasn't reached Scotland yet!
You guys are great together!
Love being with you guys …… a pure joy in whatever you get up to, thanks.

spending time watching you is just pure happiness
Comments like this make us happy! Thanks for watching Mary 😊
I think u should patent that work bench. Its a brilliant idea.
You two are so fun to watch! I enjoy your videos a lot. Keep up the hard work!

When tires break down they release by products from rubber into the soil. I got rid of mine.
Yep release cancer causing substances into soil
@@wendywalsh-pardey9439what I was thinking about, maybe layered wooden frames could work 😊
Great advice!

Such a fun video. Great work on the under sills, and so pleased you made yourselves a great work bench. Well done.
The ending is funny and cute. Enjoy watching ❤❤❤

If it's too hot for you then come to East Anglia as we have a cold North wind and rain Every day and it's mid June 😩😩
Your background music sets off the visuals nicely👏
Just like to say
My wife is so happy now
Because I come home from work and watch your videos
And the fantastic work you are doing on the house ☘️👍
Haha what did you used to do when you got home from work?!😂
Love how sweet Poppy and Ted are! Has Poppy grown somewhat? She seems taller!
Use a Concrete piping bag instead of a trowel It will make the job quicker and much easier
Wow that scorpio was huge....no no no i would not have gotten any pics of him😂
I've truly enjoyed you two, your videos & the sponsored products mentioned in your videos.
You all are awesome.
Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate, 😃. 20:21
Super cool work table. Well done🎉🎉🎉
You two are just the cutest! That 2 in 1 workbench is brilliant!
I always enjoy watching this show. You guys make me smile and I leave with a warm, fuzzy feeling after every episode. A old fan from Boise, Idaho. USA
That's going to be a very useful work bench. Is it me or has Ricky got a whole new collection of t-shirts after all his previous ones were destroyed when drilling out all of the concrete from the stonework.
The property is beautiful. Your work bench is brilliant 👏 ❤
Love the progress you two have made . Hopefully your channel will be on for years to also show the renovation of your big house.
Its a disgrace that your promos cant be available in Spain. Congrats for your job, lets goooo
We always enjoy your videos but had to laugh at the way you interact with each other on this one. We are quite a bit older but still do this too. It's what makes a relationship work and brightens the day.
Awesome job btw!
Rose & Michael
You two are just too cute and are having way too much fun

Victoria you did a great job of Poppies coat she looks so pretty. Lovely job on the stone work under the sills Ricky. The workbench is great, wonderful design and brilliantly put together well done x
Great watching you two guys and your lovely dogs. You make happy times together ❤❤
That would make a great temporary kitchen work station. I'll be keeping this one in my ideas bank! 😊
Such a joy to watch your progress❤ CLIPPERS for Poppy, if you shave her down for the summer months- she will be cooler, & you can spot Ticks faster. ❤
Love those tables. Easy to setup and super useful. Nice👍👍
Work benches look awesome, and so handy for all of your renovations to come. Thanks for the laughter, and fun, as well as sharing this video.❤
Just a little advice: an office knife will make splitting cardboards to pieces much easier
Absolutely love your workbench, great design 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great job guys. The work around the sills looks great. We did the same thing with our bench years ago. It makes working with a drill saw so much easier. Ricky, hopefully one day
you will build a workshop as we did to all the DIY projects you need to do. Nevertheless, You guys are killing it. All the best mates👍👍 Jim, Harriet and Yuki
You are my favourite TH-cam couple❤ adore your ideas, great sense of humour and positivity 💞
Awww thanks Audrey! ❤
That Reolink camera looks super cool. I love the quality and the little solar panel on it.
And LOVE the doggos!

That bench is genius
So good to see you having fun while doing mundane jobs. Love the workbench Rickie, veg patches looking good Victoria xxx
Put some straw down on the garden beds, to reduce moisture loss, weed suppression and nitrogen for the soil, will keep it cool too.
Great job on the work benches!!
So glad when this popped up. I look several times during the week for a video from you. I love them. Hello from Oklahoma
I keep looking several times per week for new videos too! Just discovered this delightful young couple a few weeks ago and quickly binge watched all I could find.
Brilliant jobs moved on and having fun at the same time. Well Done take care.xx
I love watching you working together . Great work bench too😊
You need a cover on your water dip tank to stop the water going green.
No! ..... really......!?!???
.... there must be at least three two year olds somewhere on the planet who don't know that....
Great job on the sills
Amazing work bench 😀
