[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

You've watched them all! That's some stint haha! Thanks so much x

[@mandysandilands4218]

Loved this episode I’ll watch it again there was so much going on well done you both ignored all the nae sayers 😅

[@Randall-Mann]

To make the tuck pointing on the brick wall look a bit better, after tucking the grout/cement (Whatever you are using) take a bucket of water and an old rag, wet the rag, wring it out leaving a bit of water in it and run over the grout/cement This will smooth out the damp grout and make it look smoother between the bricks You want to wait until the grout is about half dry to wie it down just experiment with the amout of water in the rag when wiping the grout.

[@pomoshtitsa]

Would be so grateful if you could share the lime pre mix you are using. Its a job we have and getting different advice everytime.

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Honestly, I have no idea on the brand. They actually stopped selling it at the building merchants near us and just sold the Var/lime what ever you want to call it. But if you buy the lime, it can come dry or wet. And you just mix that with a bit sand. If you add a little cement in it does prevent cracking, but for pointing you can just use sand and lime (obviously add some water). There is no wrong or right way, really, just different ways to do the job. Don't over complicated it 😊 just do a little test patch and see if you like it, if it doesn't go right just scrape it out and try something different. 😊

[@pomoshtitsa]

@@frombournemouthtobulgaria Thank you so much. Maybe I am just over thinking it as it is the most DIY project I've every attempted. WIsh me luck :)

[@IanIan-cj7dj]

Dont put cement in the lime as it will make the house damp

[@solamano7239]

If you find poop in the nesting boxes, it might be from the hens scratching at the floor, so placing them up higher, 16"-18", will get rid of the problem. 🐔 Hope you'll all be nice and snug by wintertime!

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

We moved them off the ground because of this comment, so thanks for the suggestion :)

[@NewBulgarians]

The red bricks and var look so much better, can you share details of the ready mix var /where you got it please Lewis? 🤣@ Jordan sniffing playdoh, which is NOT for playing, and being a big fan of death!!

[@Hedgehogsinthemist123]

Put sealer on the wall and add some coving.

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

For sure! Needs to be done

[@Mi-cljjj]

The brick wall looks so much nicer! 👏 How can you get the rats from out of the roof? That would freak me out so much! 😆

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Awww thanks! Yeah, I mean, best thing is rat traps really. I haven't actually found any live rats, but there qere some in there over the years!

[@alpaycavus7002]

Every time i watch youre video's, i get realy overwelmed. Because i love everything you make. Jordan you always bring a smile on my face. İ love youre room. The purple and the blue Paint. And that wall you painted i absolutely love it. And yes, i have a stone and skull colection myself . Amazing to watch you two. ❤❤❤ İ am using my partners account, my name is Nancy.

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Hi Nancy! thanks for your comment. It's so lovely, we always appreciate kind comments like this. So glad you like what I've done. You can expect the skull collection to grow and art to continue!

[@hamptonwick4962]

Jordan you should do stars on tht will make it look like a colourful cosmic storm would be great

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Never rule it out! It's always changing!! :)

[@DanielSmith-ch7sp]

Merry Christmas guys. Me and my daughter are skiing in borrovets from the 2nd jan. we have a car and plan at least one day checking out properties. Finding it hard choosing an area to concentrate our search.. would you recommend a starting point 😊

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Hope you have a lovely time here in Bulgaria. As for where to start, honestly, it's so hard because its so diverse. We really loved our recent visit to Blavorograd - and really, it nearly tempted us to consider a move. Still never say never for us on buying a village house near this town. It's beautiful. But a lot of bulgaria is beautiful!

[@DanielSmith-ch7sp]

@@frombournemouthtobulgaria thanks so much. Hiring a car having landed at 9pm then navigating the Rila mountains was a bit of a brain furt. I will do my searches on Blavorograd. Cheers

[@alanmosley9077]

Have you seen camper vibes. Irish cottage build there doing a lime pointing

[@paulharker5052]

Great videos and inspiring, I’m looking in to possibly one day moving to Bulgaria. How hard is it getting the visa d? I know to be able to purchase a house by starting a company but do you still need to do tax returns every year as the company would be dormant Thanks for any help

[@elizabethdunn2992]

Brilliant guys! Love the craft room 😍

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Glad you like it !

[@pebbles8022]

Chickens roost in trees, I suggest you go and cut some suitable branches. Their feet are designed to curve around their perches and I’ve heard planks can damage or be very uncomfortable? The good news is you get to be able to use your 2x4s for diy.

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

interesting suggestion. We've been told so many different things. We'll stick something in and see how it goes! thanks

[@d3loff]

Why didn't you decide to plaster the wall in the bedroom, but used var between the bricks instead? Just curious.

[@frombournemouthtobulgaria]

Because its an exposed brick feature wall. 1 wall in the room is like this the rest are rendered. It ass character to the room 😁

[@reekabarrett1161]

Our playdoh tastes salty I tasted it as a kid spit it out

[@Cathy-ty3fp]

Oh Jordan it’s awful but heyho 😩🤣🤣

[@NewBulgarians]
