How to Build A Roof on A Pergola | DIY Home Renovation

[@smplfylife]

I love that your Dad still has his kiwi accent!

[@Frank-rx8ch]

Any suggestions of a Kiwi- American name for the bump?🤔🤔🤔

[@sarah-janerodgers1970]

Kiwi Bob is gold….so cool to hear his accent is still strong. ❤

[@AlexanderAyling]

Haha yup he’s a character!

Lucy is adorable and I can definitely see that's she has a sweet nature. Carrie looks lovely in that pretty dress. Maybe if the wallpaper doesn't work out you could find a few matching prints of cute woodland creatures to hang on Etsy. The pergola turned out really nice and you didn't fall off the roof, so good job and balance Alex. Watching the two of you reminds me of the excitement of nesting and gathering for the first child. Definitely by the 9th month I felt like I'd had enough and wanted the delivery ASAP, but then I was in the heat of the summer which was not fun. Before you know it baby girl will be here.

Ahhh awesome living and a great example for all how to live a life of making the most of what nature provides. Nice to meet your Dad too..I bet he relishes being able to help out.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thanks Glynis 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Even though I know your dad is kiwi, it still surprised me to hear his accent on your channel. Sounds just like my dad 😂

[@greeffi]

Thumbs up for Lucy the Lamb ❤

[@ElenaJanney]

We are so happy to see your Dad visit you, please say Hi to him from Peter and Elena from Denver 😄

[@AlexanderAyling]

I’ll say hello for you both! Enjoy Denver :)

[@ElenaJanney]

@@AlexanderAyling Thank you 🙏🏻

[@bittersweet340]

Loving the lambs… soon you will have your own sheep farm business the way things are going. Thinking of getting a quad or vehicle bike sort with a trailer, would be useful doing ur mahi around ur farm? Enjoyed the episode amazing your dad has still got a slight Kiwi accent good to see you two bonding.

[@garryowen109]

Alex is picking up on the accent ❤

[@peterferan4389]

From personal experince the plastic roof grows moss and green slime. The price of NZ life!

[@jilldavies8546]

Lucy is SO cute. Such a pity they have to grow up.😄

[@Nynke_K]

It's nice seeing these updates! Clear roofing on the pergola seems like a perfect idea and the nursery is coming along nicely too! Do you have a plan for a nappy changing station yet?

[@AlexanderAyling]

I’ll have to check with Carrie on that one :)

[@elinefijlstra]

Lucy is so cute😍

[@AlexanderAyling]

She is a sweetheart

[@ericschroeder6898]

Does the water coming off the pergola drain into the house gutters?

[@AlexanderAyling]

Yup 👍🏽

[@nardwalker219]

your blogs are so cool

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thank you!

[@nardwalker219]

yeahhhhhh lucy

[@AlexanderAyling]

She’s the best!

[@stargazer5073]

Lucy is so sweet, feeling guilty about my Shepard's pie for dinner.

[@AlexanderAyling]

Don’t feel guilty - they aren’t supposed to be hand fed by humans…

[@stargazer5073]

Does your dad miss NZ?

[@AlexanderAyling]

He comes down pretty regularly

[@anthony.3614]

Omg, here in Australia we pronounce "pergola" so differently 😱

[@designerpolly]

I would say per goal ah ... And I am a kiwi

[@anthony.3614]

​​​​​​​@@designerpollyMe too!!! I just typed pergola into KZbin and all the Aussie and Kiwi videos were saying "per-goal-ah" whilst all the American videos were saying "pergol-a". Ok I just looked into it, it's a loan word from Spanish and Italian, so the Americans win because it is pronounced "pérgola" in Spanish and Italian (emphasis on the E not the O, even pronounced like that in Italian where the E is not accented) 😊. Dunno where we got our bogan pronunciation from because Aussies are usually really good at Italian pronunciation just like Americans are good with Spanish words 😊

[@AlexanderAyling]

Thanks for the fact check :)

[@howlsatdesertmoon9840]

Don't tell your dad (he might clip you round your ears!!), but he sounds like he could be... Australian!

[@AlexanderAyling]

Haha oh no!!

[@bkarnie]

As an Aussie, I thought the same!

[@rozh55]

He so doesn't!
