We finally start to see some shape on this tiny home conversion. We finish the framing, get on with the veranda, digging trenches for our waterpipes, visit markets and beautiful river beaches!

you have installed the decking upside down the groves have to go on the bottom so the water drains out
The deck is looking good but I think I would cut down and maybe pull up that grass and weeds growing behind it to help keep snakes and other critters from getting back there. Yes, I know, more work but will help in the long run because it’s gonna just keep growing taller and taller. Those snakes gave me the creeps, poisonous or not. Maybe lay down some more of the weed cover to help keep it from coming back.
Cool vid !=8)
Love the graphic the disappeared as Omar walked across the screeb
Job well done. What a progress.
I really look forward to your videos! I'd love to 'join' and support your channel, but is there a way to do a yearly lump sum instead of monthly? You guys are awesome sauce!
🌟👍🍀💐
I hope that massive root that crossed your trench and that you cut short doesn't grow back as it could perforate your pipe. could you widen the trench at that point and put a brick or some concrete as a kind of wall to block its path if it does try to grow back from one side? Could save some issues down the road…? In any case, might be good to mark the spot as a prime suspect in case there is a leak in the future…
Pour a few pots boiling hot water over the ants and let it soak in ( BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOUR SELF ) If you have one use a portable stove burner and place it not far away from the nest also chunk up the soil to let the water get deeper into the ground .. A day or two later check to see if there is a small mound of dead ants if so repeat the process and dig a little deeper /wider .. NO CHEMICALS needed !
La danza de los insectos muy creativa y hermosa, muy bien editada.
Great Job you guys doing on that beautiful project.
The deck/verandah looks fantastic!!
Thank you for the update. It is starting to coming along very nicely. Doris 🇦🇺🦘
Nice work there, coming along great!!
Andrea…i use a strong string that i found at a construction material shop and I tied to the branches of my vines that are over growing the support i created, and I tied the yarn to the closest wall or pillar. It is working. As it grows more i go and and more strings and I can carefully pull them without breaking.
Que lastima que no hagan la traducción al español,tengo que imaginar lo que dice

Oh what a surprice the two snakes !!! If they are harmless its a blessing for the house !!!Here in Greece they call them ''the snake of the house'' and we put a bowl with milk to drink.These two had sex -male and female -thats why they were circulling each other.But if they are not harmless…..bbbrrr….
