  2. After starting the video I just burst into tears, such powerful emotions, I just found your channel today and I resonate so much with everything you guys do, DIY projects, off-grid living, grow your own food, your love for the cats and dogs, while creating amazing artwork like this video and enjoying life .
    while having the constant feeling of not belonging here.

    I am an interior designer and I feel so stuck right now in Bucharest, a huge city full of concrete and I cannot express how hollow I do feel sometimes, seeing how sad and robot-like people are. Also having the constant feeling of not belonging here.

    I just want you to know that you opened my eyes and you inspire me so much to start what I should really do, and I want to deeply thank you for the artwork that you provide!

    Many loves from Romania <3

  3. Thank you for sharing. Your video's are always so beautifull edited! Hope you, Pepe, dont mind my comments about the electricity! In the Netherlands we use four colors of wiring! Bleu is the neutral, Brown is the hot wire! Black is the switch wire, between the switch and f.e. the light! Green/yellow is the earth wire! Looking forward to your next videos

  4. Hi beautiful people. I love y’all channel. I’m here to give my support as long as the channel is here. Thanks for sharing the affordable information on discount land. Have a blessed week my darlings 🥰🙏🏽♥️

  5. Hello to you both.
    Just sharing some of your great work and warmth from the following publication. Well done to you both
    French property news, issue 376 July/August 2022
    After being homeless for three years, a thirty year old woman built herself a small 18m2 wooden chalet north of Nantes le Figaro reports. Working as s home helper she saved up to buy a 2,200m2 plot of wasteland. Whereby she built the property for a cost of €10,000. Although the local authorities took her to court for obstructing town planning rules, she was fined ,€200, €100 was suspended. The judge had apparently taken into consideration her previous homeless status and the fact she has transformed a useless piece of derelict land.

  6. Îmi pare rau,v-am urmarit de foarte mult timp și v-am trimis niște atenționari sa permiteți subtitrea in mai multe limbi, inclusiv în românia, așa că o să mă dezabonez.
    Îmi pare rău urmăriți numai profitul prin laikuri și nu aveți un pic de respect față de cei care vă vizitează pagina.
    Spor in toate dar revizuitiva comportamentul înainte de a care laikuri.

  7. Why not run power from the house to a breaker box in the workshop? That way, all control of electricity can be managed within the workshop. Within the cabin, you could put a redundant breaker to shit off the garage from within the house if you really wanted to.

    This does 2 things:
    1) eliminates troubleshooting from house to shop
    2) simplifies each building by keeping connections within their respective areas.

  8. I don’t know if the rules are different there, but normally you put a brown cable to the switch, after the switch a black wire to the light, then blue wire back to the negative. So brown has always power, where ever you are, whatever the switch is set to.

  9. Again… you did it! Amazing episode, super explanations and closing it with a nice stroll in the south was perfect!
    Cousin Pepe, it’s such a pleasure to see you working and how neat your working areas always look, a real delight! Many thanks! When are you publishing the next video?

  10. Una pregunta muy simple!!! Porque no habláis en español?? Si muchas veces lo aséis o por lo menos combinar un poco…yo os sigo desde que arranco vuestra casa y no se me siento un poco extraño por el echo de que es ingles fijo que no entiendo ni papa cuando sois españoles jejeje nada cuando ustedes puedan me responden Thank you.

  11. Thank you for this video! I enjoyed the format of this video, with some building tips and instructions (so helpful!) and topping it off with the beautiful scenery of Portugal! A much deserved holiday. Oh how sweet is the feeling of freedom to just be able to take a few days off like you guys did. I love that the pets came along for the trip! 🧡
