    You have done, and are doing, an amazing job Bart. So much hard work.....and look at the results - brilliant! Chin up, water is apparently the elixer of life. You've just been blessed with too much of it in one spot 🤷‍♂️😁 I'm sure you will get it sorted. You should be very proud of what you've achieved. Not long now until your finished and will be saying 'what will I do today?' I look forward to next week's video. Jo, Australia 😊

      @@borgopoggiodeifiori , The first day of the tragedy coincided with the Madonna show, some say: a strange coincidence, that the show was a satanic ritual and that the people in the audience seemed hypnotized, zombies. These big shows don't attract me. I don't like Madonna, I didn't watch the show. The show was televised all over Brazil, Madonna made a demand: that Rede Globo start filming 8 minutes after the beginning. And so it was done, what happened in those initial 8 minutes was not disclosed and people who were in the audience who were interviewed were unable to say anything. Very strange...

    Hi Bart. This week it’s one step forward & one step back. Water problems can be a pain to solve at times, especially when you don’t know where it’s coming from. Never mind, you will find a solution, you always do. On a good note. The outside pointing looks great & the gutters are done👍🏻😉 & you got some of the grouting done in the apartments. It’s tricking boxes every day. Soon you will be cooking in your outdoor kitchen, drinking a glass of Vino. Swimming in the pool & enjoying the rewards of your efforts. I see you have artichokes & grapes coming along in the food forest. The roses & honeysuckle look beautiful too. All the newly planted trees are the better for all that rain. but, it would be nice to have some sun 🌟now. Till next week, Take care 😊👍🏻

      Yeah that's true Ann. And it will take time to solve, but let's stay positive. Happy to come across the problem now. All the rest went pretty well and I was in a good flow. Looking forward to some slow time in the midst of summer. Can't wait really. Happy with the gardens. They look so pretty. Actually walk through them every day now. Unbelievable sometimes. So lush and green. Greetings!

    goodmorning Bart, the appartments look great with the grouting and the paint, it looks so wonderful. The garden and your new planted trees are getting a good soaking with all this rain, which is a blessing. The pointing of the outside wall looks stunning, especially the contrast with the newly dark stained timbers in the wall. To top it of you put in the gutter, perfect! All this rain has brought new life to dried up streams, I know you will find a way to fix this problem, you have already put in so many orange pipes so you can always find a way to get rid of the exces water. Maybe you should leave the area next to the house(the area you are digging in) as a wadi with a catchment to drain away towards the ponds. I can't wait to see what you will do this coming week. Have a great one!

    Bart....what an eventful week....your apartments are really coming together as well as the walls on the outside. Your gardens are so lush and beautiful with so many wild and beautiful flowers. One can really see the end of the apartment renovations....well done and all done so beautifully!! I am so sorry that you have to do more digging, but having a natural spring is probably a real blessing. Have a good week and remember to take some days off!! Cheers!

      Hi Jane. Yes, I am quit amazed about the gardens now. It's so lush. Couldn't imagine that for a long time. Last year I was struggling to get some water to the young trees and plants and many dried in summer. That will be one less problme this year. I hope I can create something of a natural spring contained in a pond and catch the overflow for storage. Will see. Working on it. A bit of a setback for the week. Greetings!

    Hello mate. I have a question water is falling by gravity right now, you know roughly where it is, instead dig front in your house could you do it behind you house and try to to make a French drainage to catch the water before it get through your house and deviate it to your water collection point. Mate I know is not easy task, but placing a french drainage behind your house be could help you to catch any water that comes near to it and relief any futher problem. I hope you find an easy solution to this situation soon. Good luck and wishing you the best, and keep posting about this.

      Hi Tony. Yeah, we actually talked about that option too. But you know. behind the house the hill is at least 4-5 meters higher and where do you start digging? It will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. I thought maybe some modern technoly like LIDAR radar, but that is unknown around here. It is an underground stream ...Looking for something more simple. Maybe turn it into a pond? Greetings
