#54 The land is back to working

[@sandyhazeltine862]

Ingenuity, compassion, and a work ethic, all rolled into one. Rare qualities! You and Martijen Doolaard are an inspiration for a Sunday morning!

[@boyblunder8889]

Yes , Martin in the mountains, I see similar style here .. very nice , peaceful, thoughtful and relaxing 👍

[@ruthconstantino6861]

Your addition to your EV allows YOU to define "work smarter, not harder". 🤓👍🏼

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Also, it feels great to be independent

[@melissaeden1219]

Eggs and wine from your own homestead. How inspiring and satisfying!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

It is a great feeling to have a little bit of self-sufficiency.

[@corinnealford2952]

My grandmother, who was a farmer, always said if there's a will there's a way! Your channel takes me back to my childhood on my grandparents farm! Love it and thank you!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My grandmother would often say the same thing.

[@anitaeisl3212]

Amazing! Ilove everything you are doing, especially your clamness and thougtfullness. It is heart warming to see how you treat every living being with so much respect and love! You are truly a very especiall person! Blessings from an Austrian living in Spain and thanks for sharing

28:23 I don't know about his previous life in Canada...but Alabaster is happy and thriving in his new home 😊❤

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks he’s a pretty chilled dog with sudden urges natural to a curious being.

[@JannietaHanekom]

It is a pleasure to see how much you enjoy inventing new concepts, general life and farming. You are very lucky to be there while still young enough to make your dreams come true. I enjoy, thankyou.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

My hubby left me a shed full of hardware and a lot of tools. I hardly come in the shed so I have my neighbour a key and told him to use what he needed. He was so happy with all the old hardware,he said it was a Heaven for him.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@snakey319]

Watching your channel because you look so much like a Jack I know from Newark NJ, good to see reverse migration back to the ancestors.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks

[@cptkev]

The desire to do stuff is a wonderful thing. You are blessed with a wonderful passion, and I appreciate your efforts. K.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thank you so much!

When you find a 'Salamandra', that announces treasures to come!

[@JuneHebert-r7h]

So glad to see that your kitty fit right in to the family 🙂

[@Joaquim_Conde]

💯

[@essieessie5399]

The best part of your videos is your kindness towards animals. I LOVE Alabaster and that little black kitty is very special too!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

A homestead without happy animals is like a garden with no flowers

[@Alfablue227]

Geez Joaquim 😮u are a Jack of all trades! Amazing skills. Great job as usual. Wanted to go up there but too much rain, bad for my knees! Beautiful eggs, you need to name your "galinhas e galo"! BTW that was not your "vaquinha", right? The cows are holly in my heart! My grannie had two: Carriça and Linda, and l still miss them to this day. Amazing the way our beautiful animals shape us as human beings!

[@paulm.8554]

That winch set-up worked really well. Nicely done!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

It's a very useful tool to have around!

[@sammie44]

Bom dia Joaquim. 😊 Memórias dessa chuvinha “molhada”, que eu e o meu marido chamamos “chuva de pecene”, sendo pecene um lugar da freguesia de Cossourado, onde ainda existe a casa dos meus avós. A verdura desses campos, o som do toque do sino da igreja, o divino canto do galo, ver o nevoeiro ao longe na distância sobre os montes, sentir a humidade na pele e corpo, andar pelos campos fora a molhar os sapatos, a calcar os paralelos da calçada dos caminhos, onde quase se torcia um tornozelo ou se espetava o tacão de sapato de salto alto, lol, a caminhar e a cheirar o inverno e sentir o frio no ar desse verde Minho, Que memórias lindas e saudade! Obrigada, por nos trazer um bocadinho desse mundo, que nos resta na nossa mente. Um belo domingo e abençoada semana para vós! 🙏

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Obrigado por compartilhar as suas memórias

[@philomenahearn1717]

I envy you your workshop bench view. Though I think I’d get less work done as I’d spend all day just looking at it. 😂

😁

[@Ivan_1919]

Another excellent episode Joaquim. Thank you 👏🏻

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks again!

[@lindagage7315]

Wow look at you go! Well done! Great editing! Looking forward to your next video!

[@ladyrickysummers777]

Hi some idea for the side's of the back were the stones lands on you can buy some plastic pipes cut it open and put it on so that side's can not get scratches. Greetings from South Africa, Cape Town 🙏🤗💕

[@joansmith3492]

you have a nice way of talking and tone and you don't talk too much. LOL but, your dog is still the best. that hoist is impressive too

[@charlenequinilty7252]

Now I want an omelet, thanks for sharing your day. Charles

Got to love it

[@gina50gina]

You are awesome. You work well like they did in the old days, figuring things our for themselves.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

We can always get things sort out by ourselves or with a little help from our friends

Joaquim quando continua a construção da casa? vai daqui um grande abraço do Brasil

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Em breve, abraços

[@luisagarcia3961]

Excelente Joaquim obrigado ❤

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Obrigado!

[@pamsmith7369]

You take some scraps of steel and make a custom rack for your truck. With cutting, welding, finishing and painting; I imaging this piece, alone would have cost hundreds of euros if you had someone else fabricate it. Bravo! You’re like my dad. He garnered many skills in his life. If he didn’t know how, he learned. Bricklaying, glassblowing, carpentry, plumbing, welding, soldering, sewing, you name it! I picked up some skills but don’t have or want all the equipment needed for all these tasks myself but enjoy watching you master them!

[@Joaquim_Conde]

I've found that doing it yourself is a lot more rewarding and allows for greater flexibility when making adjustments.

[@odilia3795]

Obrigado sr.joaquim por mais um excellente vidéo boa semana.abraço.

06:16 ai que saudades de cheirar um limão recém colhido do limoeiro 😊 na zona de Espanha onde vivo os limoeiros não sobreviven ás geadas, mas eu vou continuar a plantar em diferentes sitios, abrigados, até conseguir um que sobreviva 😅 muito obrigado por partilhar os seus conhecimentos.

[@organicmanny]

Watch your videos , they are informative and enjoyable. You have transformed the place in such a short time, your grandparents would be proud of you. I saw you moved your belongings from Ontario to Portugal in a shipping container. I'm in the process of doing the same thing, we reside in BC, Canada. Portugal is calling me home. Who did you use to ship your stuff? Thanks Manuel

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks. It is a big move. I used a company based in Toronto called Viso Shipping, in Ontario they provide a door to door service to Portugal.

[@karenmorrison8112]

Always a great video.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@michaelhayden5264]

congrats on that winch system - it will definitely save your aging back. As for the hidden nest any thought of moving it into the nest/hen house and have the chickens watch you do it?? It might give the idea of where to lay. Cheers

[@glenyscallaghan1195]

Yummy that looks tasty.⭐️👋

[@mikkei3532]

What time (month) do you harvest lemons ?? ones a year or twice? Btw i very like your diy jobs - this little crane is fantastic. But you should instal a vevor cheep elektric winch to make it easier.

[@vfranc0]

Depending on the weather, the tree may "rest"a little when there is snow or freezing temperatures. If the climate is good it will bear fruit AlLL year long

[@horacio9432]

Your Davit arm is working well although I can see you installing a small electric winch in the future ha. How much bureaucracy is there going to be to get your VW registered in Portugal from its Ontario registration?

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Working on it, thanks

[@tiogoala7654]

I'd bet you miss hockey night in Canada.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Not a big fan of professional sports, but I appreciate the work athletes put in.

[@AnvilDragon]

You will want a load strap, load cable, or load chain going forward and not abrade the cable on your lift. I like that if you change it some later you can lift the head off and change it. The base can stay.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Thanks for the insight, I’ll be working on the idea of a strap. I think the chain will be a bit slippery

[@AnvilDragon]

@@Joaquim_Conde Straps are best purchased, getting a good saddle stitch with strong tread is difficult to both make and test. A chain would have an elongated ring the same weight as the links for the hook and the other a round ring as heavy as will fit and 1.5 time the diameter of chain or elongated ring. The rings are welded. It would always be used choked around a load. Useful for stone and logs but will tear up softer things like lumber you don't want to damage.

When are you going to finish and remove the clamp off the nest box in the hen house ?

It’s in the [to fabricate ] list, wasn’t able to find anything that fits the need. 😅

[@canaberesaol4273]

Olá Joaquim, sou o Pedro, vivo em França, conhecemo-nos em Setembro com a minha esposa, conversamos durante alguns minutos, foi só para dizer que sempre apreciámos os seus vídeos, apreciei especialmente a sua última invenção para levantar pedras, boa sorte enquanto estou aqui para ter um bom ano.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

Ola Pedro. Um bom ano com muita saúde para vocês também

may i ask you how you proceeded with your wired power tools? as far as i know, Canada has 120V 60Hz and Portugal 230V 50Hz.

No, not yet broody, but she’s pretty amazing, a heritage breed with no were near 12 hours of daylight, and laying an egg every 35 hours. I’m totally blown away

[@relaxwitheljo5425]

Yes i agree.I think he should use a trailer or something lower to the ground .Keep up the good works Joaquim👍

[@pamsmith7369]

That’s what I was thinking watching this. Those stone or concrete pieces are long. Could shift in an instant. I’m surprised that little cable could lift that much weight without breaking suddenly.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

The side by side has a very low centre of gravity due to the 750kg of lead acid batteries in its bowel. The winch cable is rated at 1500lbs, one of the larger posts weighs in under 200lbs. Having said that, I wouldn’t let anyone else use the side by side with the winch or any other implement for that matter. All tools are dangerous if not used with a good dose of practical, common sense. Thanks for being concerned and for commenting.

[@marcellosiqueira3455]

@ safety first Joaquim. Don’t cut corners and never trust cables manufacturers.
