I love how Mario has become a part of the family for the boys. You can see how much they love him. It's fun to watch. I hope they'll always have Mario, even after the building is done.

[@TheNewbys]

He is most certainly part of the family!

[@coby6417]

Very exiting times for the whole family. Keep safe and healthy 👍👏🌟🍀💐

[@GrannyV29]

With Mario, it is as if Crusoe has a bonus grandfather. A child can naver have too many people to love them or for them to love.

[@TheNewbys]

Mario is the best friend ❤️❤️

[@kimberleyking1289]

I know I say it so often but I have to say it again, the attitude of the Portuguese workmen towards Crusoe and Sawyer is just beautiful to see, and honestly is something that the UK could do with lessons in. They're so willing to teach the next generations of workers their trade and that's what keeps such wonderful crafts alive 💚 *Hugs * to you all! xx

[@TheNewbys]

They are the absolute best Kimberley, we are so thankful to have such a great team! Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️❤️

[@tracytanasiychuk8253]

My husband and I were just a little older than John when we built the home we live in now. Our dream home has been our greatest success in our lifetime. We are very near retirement and we have a pond with fish and beautiful trees a small cabin by the pond. We would get laughed out of the county if we called our six acres a farm but it is a perfect home for us and our three generations below us. Our grandchildren learned to drive many pieces of heavy equipment as we developed and bear bit of farm land into what it is today. Seeing your boys so excited about driving is a reminder to me about years gone by (the turn of the century was our build start). We are so grateful to God for his many blessings He granted us. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@TheNewbys]

Lovely to read Tracy! Thanks for sharing that story friend. Yes, same here really our small piece of land isn’t really much of a farm, but it’s the name of this property, historically known as “the farm that’s for sale” no one wanted, until we came along! ❤️❤️

[@irenepinho2837]

John has a lot of patience with Obi's shoe stealing . Maybe a shoe rack that Obi can't reach like hang on a door ?

[@louiseclark7967]

Beautiful story and memories! You are truly blessed with all of the important things in life.❤🙏

[@xxwillowpinkxx9901]

Awwww Sawyers little concerned face "He's gonna squish you" So cute. The boy's are growing up so fast 🥰

[@TheNewbys]

He is just the sweetest friend! You are quite right, they are growing up too quickly ❤️❤️

[@kathymashburn1974]

He is sooo cute in his little overalls and hat!

[@avonbrophy4101]

What an exciting episode today with a breathtaking whirlwind of activity! Mario is a very special human being with such a loving bond with your boys. Please tell him how much your followers all around the world love him! You are so lucky to have him and no doubt, he feels the same way about your family.

Every family needs a Mario... He is absolutely amazing with the boys.... He is one of the extended Portuguese families members.

[@beverleyoleary7351]

I agree too, he's well loved by us all ❤

[@reinamoody5239]

I love how Mario has become a part of the family for the boys. You can see how much they love him. It's fun to watch. I hope they'll always have Mario, even after the building is done. So exciting how everything is coming together 👍❤

[@TheNewbys]

He has indeed become part of the family Reina. He is amazing with the boys! ❤️❤️

[@paulinefreeman9492]

There's 2 little boys living their dream what amazing memories they're going to have in later years, its actually quite emotional ❤❤❤

Thanks Pauline. We hope they grow brave and strong, and know they are truly loved. ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoãoPinto-n2f]

Antonio is a very experienced, competent and talented professional who makes a difference in the work he does. A valuable professional. A great mentor, always ready to share his knowledge.

[@decorDD]

I think its absolutely wondeful the way Mario allows the boys to ride with him on the digger ...i can remember the joy of driving with my dad on a combine harvester and the tractors on our farm in South Africa when I was growing up...such great times and treasured memories of a very special childhood . Your boys are making the most wonderful memories with kind and caring people youve brought into their lives. Greetings from Qatar ❤

[@TheNewbys]

Mario is an absolute saint when it comes to the boys friend. What incredible memories you have! How special ❤️❤️

[@andrewoliver5222]

Mario is the kindest builder I’ve ever known he loves crusoe and crusoe loves him

[@TheNewbys]

He is the absolute best Andrew! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@djohnson5348]

I appreciate Tara is so enthusiastic even in the midst of the chaos!

[@juliejavier4138]

I love how Mario really cares for the boys, he's amazing!

[@dianahewitt8529]

Wonderful synchronisation day with huge things happening! So much good progress! Wow! And including the boys is paramount and you do it SO WELL! Congratulations to you John, you’re the epitome of a deeply involved Loving Father and Husband. It is so moving to hear your thoughtfulness for Tara, and your deep connection with the boys. The way Sawyer looks into your eyes as you tell him what’s going on through the day is so beautiful and just how great communication was always meant to be. Face too face time is such a rarity in many relationships. Not with your family! I rejoice! Such a blessing to see. Thank you! Blessings! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@TheNewbys]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment and support Diana 🏗️🏡😁🙌🏼

[@JoAnnLovell-Kristoferson]

All of us require mentors and role models. You are so fortunate to have Mario in your lives and the kindness/ patience he extends to your boys is just amazing. So cool to see the different projects evolve . To your audience, it seems to be quick and I am quite sure that it is stressful for both of you , but exciting at the same time. Fingers crossed for your family, project progress, finalized paperwork and hopefully enough nice weather to get that bio pool wrapped up. Take care,, Jojo

[@TheNewbys]

You are quite right Jojo, he is amazing 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@antoinettepurdon5746]

Oh my heart Sawyer. That was adorable.

[@yvonnebailey9973]

Hi guys, so glad for you that all is moving forward. We watch Frankie off grid as well. Frankie the daschund keeps taking socks and buries them in the garden. Take care and stay safe. All the best to you all. 😊

Dogs will be dogs Yvonne 😂😂

[@heidibear44]

Wow. Wow. Wow. Amazing progress. So glad you are documenting it. Something your grandkids can watch and really appreciate about the heritage you are creating. You are both absolutely fabulous 😊❤

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Heidi, that is one of the reasons why we are doing all this filming. For our family to look back on and see what we managed to do etc ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹

[@heidibear44]

@TheNewbys It really matters. We planted 49 trees last year on out land and documented most of what we did and the one day my son (16) said " so I can put swings on these trees for my kids.." I damn near burst into tears.

[@Grace_x68]

Wow just imagine the memories these two little ones is going to reminiscing about one day. You are truly great parents Tara and John 💕

[@cherylkemp548]

The construction noise is beautiful music.. the tune plays notes to your future beautiful home for your beautiful family. 😊

[@sandrahohmann1898]

Hello Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer. What an adventure the 2 boys are going on. Never a dull moment in the Newby household The build is coming along just nicely.

[@TheNewbys]

Never a dull moment indeed Sandra! ❤️❤️

[@lizcam5703]

Hard hats for the kiddos 😁 hope they stay safe on the building site. There's a lot going on. Take care folks! Happy New Year! 🤗

[@TheNewbys]

Safety is our number one priority Liz, thanks for being here friend!

[@kattygabby3519]

Yes! Obi running around the site always get me on edge! Still exciting!!😮😂😅

[@sylviavelez8466]

You are both great parents and I enjoy very much watching your videos. It might be of help if you show the physical presence of an adult next to the children holding hands when you are filming them (Obi with a lead) and standing further away from the heavy and active machinery. Viewers are probably concerned that you might not be at their reach promptly enough if you are needed for their safety while you’re filming. Best wishes for 2025 !

[@TheNewbys]

@@sylviavelez8466hi Sylvia. We have an episode coming up that features the boys helping us quite a lot. I think after that we will probably be slowing down with including them in the videos. It’s no doubt for the best for everyone. Thanks for your concerns.

[@magumagalhaes-dr2ip]

With so many projects going on, 2 kids and a dog, how brave you are facing all with such energy and joy. What an amazing and inspiring couple you are! ❤

[@louiseclark7967]

I just love the relationship between Mario and the boys, like their adopted Grandpa. It's really sweet to watch. Just breathe, Tara! You have the wonder of Portuguese craftsmen at your disposal, including the Amazing Mario and Co. It's all going to be fine, and stunning in the end. ❤Oh, John. I think your disappearing shoes mean you are very loved. 😄🐕🧡You are ALL very loved. Thank you so much for sharing! 🐾🏡🚜🌞🌬🥾👟🐞🐝🐝🦋🐛🐸🦄💖

[@annparsons2112]

How lucky you and John are to have met such nice, kind and honest people. Is this the personality of most of the people in northern Portugal. Mario and his family and the other workers you've hired are so nice.

Love your enthusiasm John. Makes us feel good to watch the whole family living life. Yes you guys are very busy but I suspect you wouldn't want it any other way. Amazing that the walls are going up already. What a difference that will make.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks Rick!

[@rosaleejo]

“The boys being part of the project is just as important as the project itself.” Your philosophy touches my heart deeply. As I’ve confessed before, I wasn’t that type of parent and oh, how I wish I knew that was possible or beneficial. Ya’ll make me smile a lot. And a suggestion from a grandma- your cute Obi could benefit from a few lessons. It’d save your shoes and wet concrete. 😅

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks for being here Rosa! We appreciate your support ❤️❤️

[@faithvansanden82]

Such a lot going on for you I wouldn't know where to turn. Just love the boy's they get so excited when Mario comes with his digger.❤

It will be early tomorrow morning before you read this…I love watching Crusoe and Sawyer being so busy…running around the farm, watching what’s happening and enjoying every minute.

[@storytelller]

Hey, dear familly! Greetings from North Greece, from a village near Kavala. 2 years ago we managed to build our place after 2 and a half painful years. Just two quick advices - have at least 40 % more money than the originally agreed price....and number two - there will be difficulties, there will be inperfections, but in the end it will all be ok, so breathe in!! Yes and don't forget the Out too :))) ❤❤❤❤ Much love from Tsvetty, Christos and Oddie

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks so much for the advice friends! It means so much to us. Thanks so much for watching 🏗️🏡😁🙌🏼

[@sandrakarls8466]

Awe, seeing Saywer tear up because he thought, Mario is not comming was heart wrenching! luckily he came and the little boy was happy again!! Even though I´m pretty sure that it is really annoying to search for his shoes, John, you made me giggle! Not even that Obi took of with your shoes, he dug them somewhere! Hihi!! But I´m so happy for you that everything is under control!!

Be careful- every change costs money and adds to the time-line. Loving the build.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks friend!

[@ruthholbrook]

You have just so much going on, what a lot of noise! But what a lot of excitement with it. I've seen a hall being built and was surprised how soon the walls went up, but the main part of building is all that goes into making that shell into a real building. An old tradition is 'Topping Out'. This is where the walls are built up to roof level and an occasion to celebrate. I think the walls really need the old stone layer to them before they count as built though. I love to watch the boys being involved and am really impressed that your builders understand the importance of that.

[@TheNewbys]

Thanks for being here Ruth! We have the best construction team who doesn't let anything get in their way, sunshine or rain, they still work 🏗️🏡😁🙌🏼

[@lucashigor63]

It's been really cool to see the boys' growth! They are Beautiful

[@TheNewbys]

They're growing up too quickly Lucas!

[@HelenHough]

So. Wonderful to see the little 😊❤boy skip along with Mario as they so for the digger

[@Vendelcrow1948]

Hey and ho, ye building gang !! Already building walls, that was quick!! I am so impressed that you could do a video in this turmoil....And also letting the bojs come in on the site for a while, then back up behind the fence. As you , dear John, mentioned, that the workers are so generous with there time, and maybe slow down a bit, and avoid heavy lifts, etc,when the kids are around......I think the bojs love this hustle and bustle, and Crusoe always get a truck lift, but I guess that Sawyer also will follow, one of these days.....Maybe Mauri might get a bigger digger wiv place for two interested young boys, who know...? The big stone stairs looks impressive, and once the sides will be ready, it will be grand !!! Hope you get the biopool ready for the winter rains too.....Lets hope that the added price is reasonable, and that you soon get the dokuments regarding the addition property. Amazing actions all around, and I can well imagine that its very stressful, but also fun and interesting, watching your future house growing....The UK filmteam still on site? Did not see them on this video. I assume that it will be shown in England primary, but you2 will aff carse tell us..... As here, I shoveled three hours yesterday, than the temp rose to +4 next day, so the most snow melted, haha...My Skoda, with the "new" motor runs good, and the daylight is slowly increasing..... Allda bestest from mikke...;-D

[@TheNewbys]

Hello Mikke! The boys love checking in on the build, it makes them feel like a part of it too. The UK film team are finishing up now, we will share more on that when we get the green light to. So glad to hear you are doing well, keep warm friend ❤️❤️

Tara try to minimize your stress by remembering that the more workers on site means that the work is well coordinated thus going quicker. When it does get to be too much grab those adorable boys and go for a walk; that’s what I did, especially the time a large piece of plaster fell on me and into my coffee😂. It will all be so worth it in the end. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
