  1. Motivated in the 41C heat… Bravo! The finishing touches on your living area makes it look pukka. Suggestion: buy the chickens some dried grubs as normally they would be scratching the ground for some. Congrats on 1st 🥚👍🏻

  2. Mate , I have some questions: you have a concrete floor, have you experienced any trouble with raising damp? and what kind of lime are you using for exterior/ interior walling jobs? Because there is a constant between concrete floors and raising damp on old stone walls, at least that what the “experts” say, the ideal shoul be an layer of insulation like Leca or compressed glass and limecrete floor . I’m asking because soon I wiil start to restore an old stone cotage and I woul like to use the best materials I can and avoid trubles in the future. Good luck and keep posting videos.

  4. I love the way you turn to the camera when your talking to us. I always feel like I'm there with you and Sharon. Well done with the floor. Its many years since I was in Spain but I dont remember any humidity. Here in Ontario we get the horrible humidity which makes the heat very uncomfortable.
