Bravo! You must be so proud and excited. You are very close to completion. I am so envious, your farm style interior layout is exactly my dream. Hang in there girl, you are almost there 🙂

Hi, I'm an operator too! Just wanted to visit and send you some inspiration to persist! Check mine out, if you have some time.

Oh I’m so sorry, I hope things make a turn for the better very soon. Merry Christmas to you 💕

👍👍

Força Christine! Tudo passa. U will overcome.

Don’t stress the small disappointments .this builds character. You will succeed and meet your goals in God’s time. Spend your energy this weekend welcoming the Christ child as your saviour and giving thanks for your wonderful life!

Maybe put a tarp over th leaking ridgeway. It will look like hell but it will keep the water out in the short term.

This is a very uncommon weather situation in Portugal. As you probably saw on the news Portugal needed rain, perhaps not so much 🙄 anyway without all this water, you probably will not see the problem in the roof 😉 enjoy this season as much as you can with your 🐕dogs

COWBOY BIILDERS ON THE LOOSE IN PORTUGAL.cut them loose …Criminal…

Do you think your builders are good enough to do all that work properiy it all seems such a mess .Perhaps it is the rain you have my best Wishes

I feel sorry for you the people working on your house seems to me don`t know what they doing they broke everithing they touch ….do yourself a favor get rid of them …. Merry Christmas

I was just wondering, you are saying that the wall in the bathroom (on the right as you walk in) is not straight towards the top. If this is a case and your builders put it up something needs to be done abaout it, fingers cross you find the right solution and balance things up. Merry Christmas 🙂

A vertical water heater is not designed to be positioned horizontally. water heaters should be mounted in the orientation for which they were designed to be operated in. Mounting a vertical electric water heater in a horizontal position will adversely affect efficency, reliability, and safety.

Merry xmas Christine. Hope you get a water tight home soon.

I was worried this would happen to you, I’m sure your a self assured woman but I can’t help feeling that if there was a man there your contractor wouldn’t be pulling some of those things I’m seeing. I’m not a contractor but I can see when things don’t look right. Best of luck, stay firm and I hope you have a Merry Christmas, this to will pass.🇨🇦

God bless you Christine and give you strength 💪

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you girl, merry Christmas and a happy new year 🎇.

What did you expect …..from living in the sticks uh?

Well, live and learn.
After the problems you have had with the rain, plan for the future so that you will not have the same problems next year.

Try to ask Nick about the roof , what he things is the best solution

Looking good, keep smiling, stay positive, You're not far away now from the end, the weather hasn't helped just keep moving forwards. 😉

I can’t get over how much rain you have had to endure! When you get through this you will be a mighty warrior!

I hope you will get your bath room sorted .merry Christmas

Looks to me like you might want to consider building some canals on your property for holding excess rain water.

Hi Christine. Sorry for all the troubles. Hang in there. I would request your builder get you a new door. Installation error and all. I’m surprised they didn’t strip back a bit of the old tiles to tie in the new. Have them put a tarp up there in the meantime to keep your place dry. One comment I read suggest using food color to see where the leak is. That sounds like a good idea. As well as using a lot of the rubble you have from the construction to build up your driveway. All sounds good to help you get a little relief. Happy Holidays and I hope the new year brings some joy and a finished dried in home!😊

Hang in there Girl!! it usually goes bad and then everything comes together in the end. My turn will be next . Love your Vlogs.

Olala Christine cest terrible cette pluie qui n'arrete pas de tomber…..et les degats que cela occasionne…. je suis sincerement desolée pour vous. Ecoutez, je crois quil est temps de prier serieusement pour avoir un miracle !!
Heureusement, les travaux ont quand meme avancés dans la salle de bains et c'est tres joli.
Avez vous essayer le poele a bois? est ce qu'il tire bien, ? avez vous chaud enfin???
Passez un bon noel avec vos amies et prenez soin de vous.
Que Dieu vous exausse ! Bise de France !

I’m trying to comment in the most respectful way possible. Are these builders certified and insured? It’s not their fault if the weather is terrible and they can’t work, but there is no scenario in which they could ruin your door with shoddy workmanship and not take responsibility for it. They are in the wrong there and should get you a new door or lose all respect. Reputation matters. I hope you manage to have a good holiday nonetheless.

Wow, you have some patience with all the shoddy workmanship. Re tiling, of curved wall, why not tile the lower half up till then feature tile line them paint the top half…?

👍

It was great to see you back such a shame that you have had so much problems remind me the name of the builders as I’ve just bought land I don’t want to get builders like that take care now have a great Christmas😊😮

🎄🌟🤞👍🍀💐 34:02

In a word cowboys Reno for me was near as bad culminating in solicitors / lawyers and plasterers scratching poofters in our brand new dishwasher unbelievable nightmare 🤬I have grave reservations of moving there after your experience

This rain is messing up SO much in so many places. You're not alone! It is just crazy, and it will get better. Hang in there!

Good luck with this project like always 🙂 I am shocked how much rain you have and how much water stays on the soil. Re the leak next to the front door, maybe it is a condensation from all the water drying from the living space and later dripping on the wall?

Hello, Before they fill in the hole around the electrical wire, I would have them wrap it with a thick electrical tape so concrete doesn't get into the conduit.

Christine! WOW! What can I say? It is always darkest before the dawn! I pray next week everything will turn around. I believe in Mircles! I also believe in prayer! Which I will continue to do in your behalf! I can not wait another day for the video from the cùrrent week! Take extra care of yourself. Be certain you eat properly, rest enough, count your blessings. Practice being grateful for your health, your fur kids, your friends, ect! Hugs from Costa Rica

Your bathroom wall tiles are beautiful! Excellent tiling work!

Oh Christine,the builders have really messed up. I can only imagine your heartbreak and disappointment as the week progressed. The door damage is a real bummer. I feel your pain and the weather hasn't helped. Might be a good idea to mark out the areas where you may want to put in extra drainage when the weather gets better.

Aww Christine….I do feel so bad for you. Been going through so much discouraging moments myself with the closing of my house, facing one setback after another. You have been staying positive earlier in the build…stay with it. Keep smiling, putting one foot in front of the other. You have yourself a Merry Christmas
with your special companions!
