Hello from Chile, great job as usual. It was so sweet to see Trixie with Pudding. I can only imagine her talking to him about her day and wondering if the fairies are still living in the house she built them 😊. Your house is coming along and its beautiful to see all the progress. Great to see how you work as a team. Great job guys, your videos are what I start my Sunday morning with. You are a lovely couple, positive and the children are wonderful. Thanks for those Portuguese phrases this week. Have a wonderful week.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Oh I love that so much I hope thats what they talking about ☺️ Thank you for your kind words 🙏🏼

[@tracykaeding3920]

Hi the Scooters. My wife and I are currently on holiday in Viseu. Doing a lot of driving, checking to see where the best place is to set down our forever home. Your videos have been a huge influence on us and we have totally fallen in love with Portugal. Keep up the good work.

Lovely video this week...you two building your home and the children helping. I love the part with Beatrix working out how to make the bits of wood fit across the spaces...I feel you have an engineer in the making there! The life skills you are giving them (and all the positive encouragement) are awesome!

[@THESCOTTERS]

😊 thank you, yes for sure she will end up doing something like that ☺️

[@glorialeopard1986]

[@LorraineinAustralia]

Congratulations on this major step.. Beautiful children 🐨🐨🐨

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much!

[@tiinah-b2326]

Yes! Labs do love to lay on the kitchen floor! Ours (she passed away of old age 3 years ago) was always there when I was cooking, or on the middle of the lawn as it was getting mowed, while our Sausage (she is almost 7 years old) goes into hiding as soon as the stove is lit! But never too far to coming rushing in with carrots are being chopped. As always, I am admiring the progress of the clever building of your home.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Oh bless sorry for you loss they are such a big part of the family arnt they! That is so funny about your sausage dog they have such big Characters don’t they ☺️

[@lidijabirsa7768]

I hope the weather cooperates during continued renovation! 🙏Well done Scotters 👍🏆💪😉💗

Hello again from Florida. Seeing the mushrooms Tara Newby would be picking and cooking them.

[@bs6281]

Wow such a transformation. Reminds me of our house build 50yrs ago. Thankyou for that

[@THESCOTTERS]

So pleased your enjoying it ☺️

[@deniseiozzo8821]

Your build is coming along ...is there no inspection for building in Portugal? Your doing an exceptional job Badger but all the Portugal You-tubers I watch it seems like no town or city inspections.I so enjoy following your family and watching them grow! Have watched from the beginning!😊

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much! Yes we sure do have inspections and have to get bits signed off ☺️ Thank you for following alone with our journey!

[@heatherlaird-mcleod3271]

Congrats, so far so good🇦🇺🫠👏

[@jennms1586]

Fantastic video with the great time lapses of the build. Kudos, you guys!!!! Thank you for sharing such wonderful moments with the kids too.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Awesome! Thank you! And thank you for your support ☺️

[@janetsandham7058]

Well done guys ,fantastic job

[@pollyb.4648]

It's going up fast! Now I'm trying to remember the rooms you showed us on a long ago tour, some aren't connected as I remember. It's going to be so beautiful!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Yes we are getting there. That’s right the old kitchen hasn’t got a internal door but we will be knowing that through very soon ☺️ thank you for watching!

[@dorothyallen3614]

Great progress you’ve made family, so good to see the children too❤

[@debbierya5668]

Great work guys 🙂

[@juanitakauffman6336]

[@THESCOTTERS]

Our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching ☺️

[@juneprice3977]

Great job, I can't believe how you are doing this all on your own! Impressive! You two are great team!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thanks so much! ☺️

[@lfuentes4098]

Very exciting to get a better visualization of your new kitchen. It looks pretty big. Almost as wide as the house from my perspective anyways. The kitchen is the ❤ of the home so it’s quite nice they’ll be room for all. Including the doggies. 😊 Question, Will you be making some more stone staircases to the lawn on either side of the kitchen?

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you! Yes it’s so nice to see it come to life. It’s definitely the heart of the home! It’s the same width as the first part of the house Yes stone steps down to the lawn ☺️

[@deborahpalm7657]

Another great video. Your detail and progress is so nice to watch. The kiddos are learning so much. What the results of hard work, patience and care can be. All the best. I will see you next week. The roof framing will be fun to watch.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@Foster_85]

Weekly fix completed and again amazing work guys, loving watching your home come together 👍🏽

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thanks so much! ☺️

Beautiful video and lovely choice of music x

Good morning from Canada. I look forward to my Sunday mornings, to grab a coffee and sit down to watch what the Scotters are up…Great video! Great build! Thanks for sharing. Fingers crossed for good weather for your next bit!🇨🇦

[@THESCOTTERS]

Ahh thank you so much ☺️

[@glenyscallaghan1195]

Badger you look so impressive ,really know what you are doing . Are you a trained builder?

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you! He sure is! We are very lucky ☺️

[@sue7190]

Great progress, it's going to be a great room. ❤

[@legrandeileen4863]

It'sreally taking shape, well done both of you, keep them coming, you're the highlight of my week

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you! Will do! ☺️

[@beckyhumble5549]

I just found your channel!! your family is adorable, great work on the house!! Love watching from Michigan in the US. 9 degrees today🥶

[@THESCOTTERS]

Yay amazing thank you so much for watching! ☺️ Keep warm!

[@tonileggate]

Wonderful progress! Such hard work but so worth it - well done both of you [and the kids, of course]

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thanks so much!

[@jdkerk]

I love to watch your videos! They are so joyful! Badger, you probably already know this but don't forget the jack studs and headers for the windows and doors. They need that extra support.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much yes they are to come ☺️

[@vickiehaines3688]

What a great job!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you!

[@missglenellen]

Those words and phrases of the week are sooo cute! I and my siblings learnt (Brazilian) Portuguese at exactly their age. Now we are around 60 and still use our "secret language" (our parents weren't as fluent as we) as an old habit - connecting us to those happy times in the South of Brazil. I really love it how you give your kids not only the chance for a broad emotional, mental and intellectual horizon but also for feeling, seeing and helping the "birth" of their new home. I admire your enthusiasm and you patience, stone by stone, beam by beam. Cheers from Ireland!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much for your kind words ☺️ yes not before too long I bet they will be doing that too! ☺️

[@miriammuskal5402]

I'm so excited for you job 👍

[@chrisherd7807]

The view all round, even up to the parking, is beautiful. You might regret not having cieling to wallfooting windows (corner to corner) windows. A roof with overhang can protect from direct sunlight in through the window panes. Or speciel glass kan keep heat (from refracted sun rays) out.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Ohh love this idea thank you ☺️

[@deborahberkey4294]

Nice video, we always enjoy our time with your lovely family 🥰. So have you decided on the name of your homestead? ✌🏻❤️🙏🏻

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you! Ahh there were so many amazing suggestions still going through them we will do soon! ☺️

[@evaeriksson7571]

Hi from NE Victoria Australia 😊 great progress & team work ! Look forward to seeing your updates every week, you are a man of many talents Badger 👌

Great job! Adoro ver os vossos filhos a falar português, e vocês? Não querem aprender? 😊

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much so pleased your enjoying it ☺️

Obrigada, sim estamos a aprender e a ter lições mas somos definitivamente rápidos como crianças 😅🫣

Great video and work family 😁 ... just imagine children and years later watch this beautiful history and legacy.❣ good moments and team work, Parabens 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

[@THESCOTTERS]

You are so kind, yes I hope so ☺️🏡

[@NALLEPUH13]

This build is getting along nicely! One question though, you do not mention treating the wood against wood boring insects, but maybe this is not an issue in the north of Portugal? As a Norwegian used to all houses being wooden I get impressed and curious about this whole build.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Thank you so much! Yes we do get wood bugs here so we have treated all the wood already ☺️

[@juanitakauffman6336]

A windo on the car park side would be nice for being able to see the arriving vehicle.

[@THESCOTTERS]

We are going to have roof windows on that side ☺️

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys.

Well done you two looking good what’s your plans for Christmas guys 4 weeks away have you a Christmas tree 🎄 I’m sure the children are getting excited or haven’t none of you had time to think about it !!! have a great week. X

Yes it’s getting close the children are so excited! We are going to visit family in Spain which will be a lovely break ☺️

Use the pottery for a mosiac table for your future patio.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Love this idea ☺️

[@codyleeser392]

Beautiful video with the children. Badger has lots of building knowledge although I thought the two of you putting up the ridge beam looked sketchy safety wise. I thought you might tumble off the wall. Will there be a small wood burner in the kitchen to take the chill off of rainy days?

[@THESCOTTERS]

Glad you enjoyed it! Don’t worry think it looked worse that it was ☺️ yes we will be having a full heating system it’s getting chilly now ☺️

Great job this week. Do you have drawings/renderings of what it is going to look like in the end that you can show us in a future video? 🙂

[@THESCOTTERS]

Yes we do from our architect we could share in a video soon, we liked the idea of it slowly coming together visually for everyone and not seeing the end project strait away but I guess we could share them too! ☺️

[@stewlarsen709]

Great progress. I didn't understand how the roofs will tie together, but I'm sure it will become clearer. Well done!

[@THESCOTTERS]

Me neither 😂 Badger will go in to more detail next week ☺️

[@lesliekwan6654]

Hello from India. Amazing progress as always.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Hey, thanks!

[@nottsboykev1]

Badger you need to put some support under your window frames to support your windows or it will sag.

[@THESCOTTERS]

Don’t worry that Is to come ☺️

Love you ❤

[@janreynolds2476]

Question. Is your plumbing going under the floor?

[@ralphtaylor3796]

ya need to dill those stone lines, scotters, hell they alone would blow out with any good wind/ rain storm.

Don’t worry it will be as solid as anything when we are done with it 😆🤞🏼💨
