January Works - busy month on the farm!

Quinta Katinka: off-grid farm of Katja and Robin in Central Portugal!
We have been busy in the bathroom and finally had our first indoor-shower now winter is coming to its end :)
Also our friend who has been living with us for the last 9 month has finally bought his own place and we sold his big tent to a motorbike club in Covilha, the lobos da neve, which means snow wolves! lobosdaneve.com
We will see the tent soon again at beginning of march when we join the clubs annual motorbike festival!
Say hello to us if you see us there!

[@travellingarts93]

It is always a pleasure and fun watching you guys, the bathroom looks fantastic great job.

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thank you very much!

[@unbeIievabIe]

I feel the need to write how much I like your channel and how shocked I am that it gets so few views. You have humour, pace, kindness and depth and I urge you to continue :) Love you guys.

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thank you very much

I love your Gold wall !!!! Looks so nice :)

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thank you!

[@dorothychiu8221]

I actually love the metallic gold for the shower. Like that it is a bit 'unusual', adds fun to the fun. But it is so cute, when you said, ' I make the biggest mistake. ' 😜

[@Rosalinda-tg7yi]

such a good video, I can feel your happiness and all your creative work is so so nice. The gold wall is beautiful and yes it takes a bit of time to get the energy of colours, tiles ,doors (windbreaks), but you both think things out and take your time, which is lovely to watch. I also feel the loving energy between you both , it is beautiful to see your farm becoming more comfortable and pretty and you work great together as you are true to yourselves. My Mother always said, 'be yourself and you can't go wrong' Most people are not comfortable enough to just be themselves and it is so refreshing to watch you both being real. Looking forward to your next adventures

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thank you Rosalinda. Such nice words are appreciated.

[@kerlyn3582]

You have one of the most entertaining vlog ... the most authentic.

[@user-pd9fz6ov6n]

What living illegally???

[@Nulife23]

So good to see you both! I love the gold wall and the green doors! Plants add the final touch don't they! Tile in portugal is so awesome too...I love the homes there which have tiled entry and hallways halfway up and with such beautiful tiles....anyway I hope you guys have a wonderful spring ahead...here in America it's gotten so crazy bad. Also my husband, Robin has left from a heart attack so my dream of moving to Portugal has diminished. And I so miss ridding our harley....I will enjoy your videos...

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Sorry to hear that. Thank you for the compliments. You would be welcome to visit us anytime. The world is going mad. At least the farm is mostly peaceful!

[@martinhoflich6150]

that white stuff is exactly the plaster which makes nice mediterranian walls. some hate gold some don't you said 😂 . l think it's ok on some spots Best question ever , Robin do you think l 'm difficult ? l would be scared if not running. you deserve a lot more viewers ❤️

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Haha, yes, Katja can be a bit scary!

[@portugal1969]

Booyes

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, bathroom became beautiful 😍 in place for the tent maybe a beautiful vegetables garden.

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thanks. Yes, lovely weather at the moment here. All the best!

[@Coyotehello]

Very nice, I was not sure at first but I love the gold colour for the shower after all.

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Me too!

[@lutarevencer3873]

You did a good job.👏

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thank you!

Die Dusche ist sehr schön geworden, wobei ich bei der Goldfarbe zuerst "Befürchtungen" hatte. Passt aber wunderbar, das spricht für Deinen Sinn für Farbkombinationen. Vielleicht kann man an der grünen Tür rustikale Regalbretter anbringen, für Pflanzen und Krimskrams, was ich mir gut vorstellen könnte? Der Schmöker über Platons Dialoge liest Du wirklich? Booooh. 🙂Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald , Jo

[@katjaehrhardt5595]

Für Krimskrams und Katzen :D - Und ja, den lese ich wirklich, ich studiere ja an der Fernuni Kulturwissenschaften, da fällt sowas mal an...

[@KleingartenProjekt]

@@katjaehrhardt5595 Ja genau, für Katzen. Das würde meinen beiden auch gefallen. Das ist ja interessant, was du da studierst, für mich wäre das wohl eher nichts. Richtig schön hab ihr es euch gemacht, das gefällt mir sehr, auch die Art wie Robin und du die Filme rüberbringt. Das ist viel authentischer, wie viele andere in YT. Macht weiter so 🙂

[@NadiaGarrido-rh2hk]

Wow. What a beautiful shower you guys made. Quick question if you wouldn't purchase that render product again can you please recommend one you would use again? Also i was afraid of the gold wall since i painted gold walls before and repainted over them after. But the plants made a big difference. And i was so happy to see your video today. Ive been waiting for it. It was a wonderful after dinner treat.

[@offgridquintakatinka]

Thanks Nadia. That product is very good, but expensive. Its smooth and hard. A normal fine sand render and then painted would be a lot cheaper.

[@NadiaGarrido-rh2hk]

@offgridquintakatinka can you give me the fine dand render product pleaee. Im having a hard time with products in portugal.

[@martinhoflich6150]

​@@NadiaGarrido-rh2hkyou can easy use the same stuff you would use to glue tiles on ground or walls .

[@xavierwatteeuw8275]

I was a little reluctant with the colour choice but eventually love it… And just a question: does the water heater have a chimney? Based on what I see, combustion gases are filling the room. To many people die asphyxiated by CO gas called the silent killer. Hopefully I didn’t understand how it is working. Please continue with your vlog, it’s not about what you are making, it’s about your respective play roles

[@offgridquintakatinka]

The heater doesn't have a vent, but it's a big room, with two big doors, and it's only used for a few minutes at a time for showers. In a little shower cubicle I would make a vent anyway, but this room is fine. Good observation though!

[@helgeschneider9069]

moin, kann das bad beheizt werden?

[@katjaehrhardt5595]

Ja, mit Gasheizung :) Aber in Portugal find ich es selten nötig.

Katia you are really difficult and not that nice, what does Robin see in you is beyond me

[@NadiaGarrido-rh2hk]

Didn't your mother ever teach you....if you have nothing nice to say, say nothing. Now we know who is really not nice, YOU!!!

[@katjaehrhardt5595]

Easy: he likes about me that I love him with all his difficult and not so nice sides.

[@soaruk3697]

You make a very negative comment based on a short KZbin video showing a small portion of their life????? or do you know every tiny detail of their life together personally? ................. they are two grown people, it is for them to decide, not you.......... or do you have a fantasy about a life with Robin and are insanely jealous?

[@QuintaMaravilha]

So rude really! They are very honest and show real life they dont play theater for likes..

[@100Noddy]

I have watched your channel from the beginning., you have been very open with your viewers about your life together. During this vlog I was thinking, Katja loves Robin and Robin loves Katja, whatever iyour relationship is, it is beautiful, creative and joyful beyond compare. I hope you will continue to share your unconventional rural life with us. Blessings to you both.
