If you’ve been following our journey each week, you’ll know that our focus has very much been on the land, rather than the buildings on our farm up until now. But this week, that all changes and we get started on making our home more liveable, starting with some brand new wooden windows, made by the same carpenter who built the original ones 25 years ago! We love that.

The old plaster on the wall uses a tyrolean machine to through plaster onto the plaster underneath.
Crusoe is learning so much! Wel done guys another great video 😄
Hi. Guys a little tip. Make sure the roller is 15 to 19 mm you will get inside the cement really nice and will cover it easy
Me encanta como va quedando ❤️👏🏻
soy de venezuela pasando pérdida de mi esposo pasando una situación fuerte no tengo hijos.
Great progress and that old solid door would make a fine top for a work bench.
Hi Tara, John and that big boy Crusoe❣😘 That was one of the best of many other great and awesome videos❣ we see the aspect of John & Crusoe the "construction" Dude's. Tara, you amaze me as your load gets bigger and closer to "unload" that precious cargo, yet you're hands on with every part of the work on hand with cleaning, painting, cooking and being Mom and Wife. It's time to ease up and have at least a week. Holiday in the UK. I think you will have a healthy baby Girl.🥰💕🙏🏼😁. John,
Whoever said slivers are a lazy man's hand was a bloody fibbing drunk❣😂 Thank you for a great video of history on the farm and finding that Carpenter! Wowzee!🙏🏼❤💙💕
That yellow vacuum you guys have also has a blower option just put the hose on the other side where it blows air
How beautiful!
Crusoe is paying such close attention. As he gets older, he will be a great handyman 🧢🛠🪚🪓Thanks for sharing 😍😍😍
Routing for you guys with the not garage! And being away from the farm will help you see it with fresh eyes – exciting!
Godspeed to you both, best wishes for your delivery and and a big hug to adorable little Crusoe! Good job, looking amazing! ❤️🙏
Omg! John you have so much resilience and determination. I am sure you will best the roof he he he. And your little helper is very determined to leave his mark on thd house too 🙂
I hope you guys won't stop the videos whilst away… you would be missed!
But late catching up this week, but it’s a wow to the windows and the rendering looks perfect. How wonderful to have the same guy making and installing as did the originals. John, that roof, I felt your pain. I just know, you don’t give up so I’m looking forward to next week. Oh boy, Crusoe, he’s an amazing little guy. Take care x
Wow! Such hard work scraping the roof! Crusoe is so cute!
😍👍❤
Big jobs, good progress. Good luck with baby no. 2. Lots of love. X
Wow that window looks fabulous! 🎉
What’s wrong with having a baby in Portugal
Hope the roof goes well. Love the window/wall – looks fab , as if, it’s always been there. So pretty with the courtyard and flowers. Tara, you look very well . Fingers crossed baby can wait until it’s time. X
I think that the roof is not going to plan because it's too high up for Crusoe to keep an eye on the work! 😉
Seriously though, I have complete faith in John to be able to whip things into shape and the roof too will come together; I just wish it was more fun than it clearly has been but getting the roof water tight, but it will be worth it to have another dry place to become another project further down the line that is more fun to complete.
So exciting that September and the arrival of the newest Newby is almost here! Sending you all the very best vibes for a super gentle labour (and a quick one too!), Tara *hugs *
Looking forward to your next video whenever the new little one allows 👶🍼
xx
Love it, so excited for the birth of your new one,cheers from Australia
Lots of love to all three of you, soon to be four 💖 xxx
Crusoe is so adorable. He has a great Dad teaching him building skills. Well done
Wow, what a great job you've done with the new window, it looks so natural fitting into it's new surroundings. I do feel for you John & the laborious task of removing the old malthoid roof. It reminded me of a similar task I took on many years ago with renovating an old house we'd bought that had old linoleoum tiles on the kitchen floor that badly needed removing before we could sand the timber back ready for a new floor. The tiles were backed with something resembling malthoid that stuck like glue to the timber floor, some lifted off easily but most didn't, so we attacked it with a spade like John did which was very helpful. I then had to use a blowtorch & chisel, on my hands & knees, over the whole floor to scrape off the remaining bits as trying to sand it was futile, it simply turned into hard glassy lumps. After injuring both thumbs from holding the chisel so long endlessly scraping till the job was done & a beautiful floor eventually resulted but no-one got to see what it took in the process… just a long difficult & boring task. Some jobs are like that & someone's gotta do it. Well done John, you deserve a beer, cheers from New Zealand. Looking forward to seeing your new Newby when that day comes.
Great day Newbys….have a good time.
YOU CAN DO IT ….. It's all looking amazing well done guys and I cannot wait to see the baby. All the best and rest as much as you can. sending you love health and happiness from Dubai xoxo

Why not put tar over the felt to seal off the roof.Or while you're away put tarps over it
Wow, the transformation gets better and better!
So exciting! Who’s going to take care of ducky and chickie!?
CONGRATS AHEAD OF TIME!! HOPE ALL GOES WELL. ALL THE PROJECTS ARE LOOKING FANTASTIC!!
The windows and the rendering look absolutely fantastic well done Crusoe is going to be a first class builder when he grows up he really watches everything his dad does…you are so lucky to get the rain we havent had any for months …do you have someone to look after the duck and chicken while you are in the U.K xxx
Window looks fabulous. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the 30 minutes of joy you bring to me and others around the world each week. May your confinement go well and I look forward to meeting the newest member of your family.
Well done with the window!
Crusoe got a lot of luck to see his dad and mother active building such a good state in live
Loved watching your video! Thank you!
Crusoe you are talking so well, John I admire you for your diligence in getting it done. Cara you are so beautiful & it’s such a joy to watch your family! So excited for this new baby! 🥰
It's so calming watching Crusoe helping his Daddy , and John let's Crusoe help , it's so cute to watch Crusoe learning from his Daddy and I also like when Crusoe helps you Tara sweep and collect fruits from the trees with his momma.. it's precious..
the change they made around the house is remarkable…. but it makes me sad to see this table and chairs in the rain… a wonderful birth is what I wish for you… I'm in Brazil but I watch all your videos.. .
That's a lot of hard work….but the work is needed and it has been fun watching the process. Yes, Crusoe is soaking it all in too. Thanks for sharing!
