You two are a powerhouse duo. You have my respect, and admiration. What a great job you did, and plans, that you have for your land. When I saw the water dripping back to the wheel, I too felt emotional. What a great example of when you treat the land right, it answers back, naturally, and as it should. All the best to you two. I'm already a fan!
I thought he was going to give the tub to his friend from the Village. Nice bath i have an old victorian tub and is so big everything is spacious in this house as i live in and old meditarranean house. Next to the bath with a shower there is a bidé and i was so pleased with it.
I am I'm awe of your stamina! I love watching your videos. You must look back and marvel at all you have accomplished! How wonderful to have water...I shed a few happy tears for you. I also love the lengths you go to to safeguard the wellbeing of all the little creatures. Hugs from a big fan in Canada❤❤❤
Amazing to see the water refilling after all that work to clean it. Imagine being the folks who had the skill (and the need) to dig it in the first place.
We kept saying that to each other as we were cleaning it. We thought about what tools were used and the effort to bring out all the rocks to make it and the building the retaining wall and the steps. Everything on this piece of land was built with care and skill. We love seeing the land come back to life. 😊
I love watching you both. I now consider you family and I pray for health and strength to have all the desires of your heart come true. Great blessing 🙌 on the well. I felt your joy. With love and respect from Washington state USA stay blessed ❤️ ~M~ 😘 🤗
Hi guy's love your hard job. It would be good if you made a rainwater collection reservoir in the rainy season. Portugal can be dry in some summer seasons.
O.M.G. , you are a very brave man, for sure you could not get me inside that well , there could be frogs, or even worse the dreaded eels, that we/they had for supper , many moons ago, ( not me ). Doing such a good job , keep it up !!!!!!!!!! Adeus from Canada !!!!!!!
I saw a women in India that collected rain water from her roof that went into 2 large holding containers 5000 gal each. They were set up so that when they overflowed the over flow would go into the well, recharging ground water. Just a thought as you move forward.
If a well has no shadow they mostly dry , so always create shadow or try to make a lit ( cover)& plant trees to create shadow . (victor schauberger was the best water genius )
what an amazing couple you are! such a treat, full day having your company from the videos. I am melted) ahahah best of dears, the humor is such a treat, and amazing personalities both. would u consider me voluteering? it can be a good starting point for me in Portugal
Thank you so much! Wonderful to know you'd like to help. Right now, we are not ready for volunteers. There are other channels that do. @Projectkamp and @LukeandSarah'sOffGridLife for example. Good luck on getting started.
I understand your emotional response after cleaning the well. There is something primal, a connection to our ancestral past, no better feeling. The source of water has always been sacred, so what name will you give this reborn sacred well? Namaste and blessings to you from Ireland ☘️🎄☘️
You are such a brave people! I don't know where you keep getting the power! And always so positive, even when things are going more difficult....You both are an example for many people.Good luck!
I'm binging on your videos, are you able to stay in any part of the old house while you're restoring it, or are living in a caravan on site or living off site while you restore the house. Great job doing the frog pond and cleaning the water well, looks like it's a good spring with all the water that's seeping into it. If it's designated for drinking be sure to filter it as there maybe stuff from by gone days from farming still in the ground, and if there are people living up stream you don't want to be drinking it. Cheers!
@@NearbyVeggies thank you for a reply, it's quite an exciting adventure you're both having, the country looks very pretty. I'll continue to binge on your videos, living vicariously through you 😁 I hope you didn't have to go before a judge after turning in all that ammunition stuff. Thank you for sharing, I love your enthusiasm! Cheers!
Dear @@NearbyVeggies couple You're welcome, it's my pleasure. Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I always and totally appreciate both very much. Sincerely yours. Post Scriptum: Is it possible that I've seen you in a video with Mrs. and Mr. Adventure?
It looks better on camera than reality 😊 It’s a tiny concrete bath with hair line cracks. Dan wouldn’t fit in it. 🤣and as we only use showers ( to save water) it really wouldn’t be of great use in the house. But as you saw, we are making use of it and will do as long as it lasts. 👍
It looks like you guys are Looking at this long term . At this stage ' long ' is not really a realistic option . First thing I did when I bought my property Was to drill a 300 ft deep Well...clean uninterrupted Supply. But I would investigate a drilled well . Artesian. Like they are in England.. I subscribed Because I really am on Your side .I am naturally Drawn to beautifull souls .
We have another big covered well and have looked into bore hole costs also. Pricey! We have access to mains water and are planning on getting that. Thank you for subscribing. 👍😊
We’re sorry you couldn’t hear everything but it probably was because of the location. We are getting better with the sound and hope to get microphones in the future which should improve things further. We both thought how hard it was to build the well too. 😊
Love your idea.. Why dont you offer free abomination and food for a good days work... like a kibbutz type of symbiosis... young students who want to see the world.. easy.. free labour.. say 4 students at a time..
I bet that well clearing gave you a great sense of achievement. That was an enjoyable watch. 👍🏼
Fantastic sense of achievement. 👍
Enjoy your new live and my country I live and Manchester inglaterra enjoy your live
Thank you. Hope you’re doing well in Manchester. 😊

Wonderful to read how much you enjoyed this video. Thank you for your lovely comment. 😊
@@NearbyVeggies Thank you, for sharing your experience with us.
Your hard work will be rewarded. The universe favors you. It's no wonder. You are down-to-earth, harmonious with each other.
Thank you 😊
Congratulations on a difficult job well done.
Thank you 😊
You're a fantastic duo! Congrats
Thank you so much!!
I'm glad you found a new purpose for the old tub. I was afraid you were loading it onto the truck to get rid of it.
Oh no 🤦♀️
We get rid of hardly anything!
I thought he was going to give the tub to his friend from the Village. Nice bath i have an old victorian tub and is so big everything is spacious in this house as i live in and old meditarranean house. Next to the bath with a shower there is a bidé and i was so pleased with it.
Tears of joy when one finds water 💦 after such hard work.
It still makes me emotional thinking about that moment. Thank you 😊
Love Dan’s Truck!
Me too. 👍
A beauty bath in the mud . Welcome to Portugal 😊😊
A beauty bath. Of course. 🤣 Thank you for the welcome 🤗
That's a great compost pile you have going there. All that oranic debris from the well - great start.
Yes it’s great stuff. We placed it around our fruit trees. 👍
I am I'm awe of your stamina! I love watching your videos. You must look back and marvel at all you have accomplished!
How wonderful to have water...I shed a few happy tears for you.
I also love the lengths you go to to safeguard the wellbeing of all the little creatures.
Hugs from a big fan in Canada❤❤❤
Thank you. We do our best to be as gentle as we can. 🤗
prepare swales and make ponds permaculture re generative agriculture,build wooden cover over wells to stop algi etc,great work
We're considering all the water catchment tips you mention. Swales, a giant pond /natural swimming pool. Our big main well is already covered. 😁
Great project all that mud will be great for the veggies
It’s fabulous and has been spread around the land. 👍
Good job done 👏🏻👏🏻 Project Portugal have a lovely natural swimming pool. 😊
Thank you. Yes, we have seen their pool. Very nice 👍
Loved the video and the mama pond build🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
😃 Yay. 🐸🐸🐸

glorious mud!
Dan loves the mud. 😂
Hi guy's love your hard job. It would be good if you made a rainwater collection reservoir in the rainy season. Portugal can be dry in some summer seasons.
That’s certainly in the plan. 👍
I was tearing up (welling up, I should say obvs) with you there!! Three frogs! Lovely. Great job xx
Wow, thank you, Maggie.
that black stuff is gold for the plants...
That black gold has been put around our young trees. 👍😊
@@NearbyVeggies Nice!!! those trees are happy campers now..
Let’s hope so. 😊
you two are such hard workers. Mucking out slop is about the last thing I would want to do.
We weren’t too keen on the prospect of mucking out slop
either but once there was a goal, we were on a mission to do the job. 😊👍
O.M.G. , you are a very brave man, for sure you could not get me inside that well , there could be frogs, or even worse the dreaded eels, that we/they had for supper , many moons ago, ( not me ). Doing such a good job , keep it up !!!!!!!!!! Adeus from Canada !!!!!!!
No eels, thank goodness 😅. Até já 👋
I saw a women in India that collected rain water from her roof that went into 2 large holding containers 5000 gal each. They were set up so that when they overflowed the over flow would go into the well, recharging ground water. Just a thought as you move forward.
We will catch water from the roof when we have a new roof
GOOD ONYA! HARD WORK DESERVES A REWARD1
Congrats on this job! This is a great achievement. I’m pretty sure all that matter you extracted would be a rich addition to the veggie garden.
You are so right. We’ve put it around the young trees. 🤞
Thanks for posting and sharing.
Thanks for watching 😊
eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel vlog için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍

Thank you so much 😊
Congratulation for all the the work you have done in your great farm .
Thanks, Ilcia. 👍
If a well has no shadow they mostly dry , so always create shadow or try to make a lit ( cover)& plant trees to create shadow . (victor schauberger was the best water genius )
Awesome. I’ll look him up. Thank you.
Well done loving watching along in new Zealand

Great job and will look great when it's finished

We call it 'The Pond'
You are such a brave people! I don't know where you keep getting the power! And always so positive, even when things are going more difficult....You both are an example for many people.Good luck!
Sometimes we have to dig deep for the power. 😊

The mud is good for compost
We put the mud around our trees and vegetables. It seems really good compost indeed.
Hi there... just bumped into your channel... enjoying your adventure but can you tell me what part of Portugal are you living in? I
Coimbra district
With a little help from family and friends you can accomplish great feats 😊 seeing the way clearly. Peace
It’s always lovely to get a bit of help. We appreciate our friends and family very much 😊
Well done! 😊
Thank you! 😃
You are great fellows!
Thanks a million.
👍👌👏 Well done well! 😁 ;-)
Best regards, luck and especially health to both of you.
Thanks very much 😊
Dear @@NearbyVeggies couple
You're welcome, it's my pleasure.
Thanks for replying and especially for giving a heart to my comment. I always and totally appreciate both very much.
Sincerely yours.
Post Scriptum: Is it possible that I've seen you in a video with Mrs. and Mr. Adventure?
We haven’t met that couple, so it wasn’t us. Good health to you too. 😊
frogs usually live "under rocks" sort of and return to water to breed
We love the frogs 🐸
I love the tub. I would have restored and used for myself if it were possible.
It looks better on camera than reality 😊 It’s a tiny concrete bath with hair line cracks. Dan wouldn’t fit in it. 🤣and as we only use showers ( to save water) it really wouldn’t be of great use in the house. But as you saw, we are making use of it and will do as long as it lasts. 👍
You can maybe use the muck to put over trees as to you water it.
We did. 👍
Great idea!
👍👍
This is sooo relaxing to watch , i would be in my element in all that muck ! lol
😂 It sure wasn’t relaxing doing it. 😊
😮wow wow wow brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Nice work and beautiful property, parabéns!!! Very inspiring; may I ask your age?. Obrigado
Guess not 😳
I wonder when the last time was the well was cleaned out.
More than 40 years ago.
Lava from a lavvie 😂👍🏴
🤣
I hope you will find a source!
You’ll find out in part 2 😁
Better sound on your video can be got with a rode microphone and a set of wireless button mics connected to your camera GoPro or mobile phones
Thank you
👍👍👍
👍
It looks like you guys are
Looking at this long term .
At this stage ' long ' is not really a realistic option .
First thing I did when I bought my property
Was to drill a 300 ft deep
Well...clean uninterrupted
Supply. But I would investigate a drilled well .
Artesian. Like they are in England.. I subscribed
Because I really am on
Your side .I am naturally
Drawn to beautifull souls .
We have another big covered well and have looked into bore hole costs also. Pricey! We have access to mains water and are planning on getting that. Thank you for subscribing. 👍😊
You have to watch the
Movie ' Jean de Florette ' .
Well, I’ve just watched the trailer and we sure will watch it. Thank you 😊
dears. get the patreon account)
Maybe soon. 😊
Is raising the sides and covering the well with a roof to keep out leaves and debris?.
Yes
👏👍🌟🍀💐
Thanks, Coby. 👍
A lot of manure for your Horta.
Yes indeed. It's already been put around our trees.
@@NearbyVeggies Great.Excelent Job!
❤️
Thank you.
Fazer esse trabalho com uma máquina com balde . Aluga uma hora fica feito
Obrigados
Sometimes I can’t hear you.
Imagine the effort it took to dig that well.
We’re sorry you couldn’t hear everything but it probably was because of the location. We are getting better with the sound and hope to get microphones in the future which should improve things further.
We both thought how hard it was to build the well too. 😊
no sound again?
There is sound 👍
PS..don't let any animals piss or shit near it . Pathogens are invisible
To the eye .
That’s true.
👍👍👍🇳🇿
Welcome 👍
Chech out several TH-cam from the duch farmer and special water holding containers and the problems with IBC.
We have no problem with the IBCs
You need a belt for that back grand pa. Save your back and you ll retire happier
👍
Love your idea.. Why dont you offer free abomination and food for a good days work... like a kibbutz type of symbiosis... young students who want to see the world.. easy.. free labour.. say 4 students at a time..
Perhaps in the future. At the moment we have no facilities. 👍😊
Accommodation lol.. anyway.. I'm from Cape Town South Africa.. lots of students work in rural area's doing community work here...
I knew what you meant, though that original word might apply.lol
Chove e essa terra e lixo volta a entrar na mina de água
