Life After The Portuguese Renovation

Well, if you thought life would calm down after the renovation, you're in for a surprise! This week has been incredibly busy. I experimented with a new Himiway e-bike, attempted to repair a pump house that wasn't even broken, leading to frustrating outcomes, and even took a trip to the UK. I had hoped things would get easier after the renovation, but I find myself more exhausted than ever before.
If you are interested in the Himiway escape pro e-bike or any of their other bikes.
Take a look, they have many bikes that may just be what you are looking for.

I love the e-bike. It looks like lots of fun. You can use it to go over to Andrew's house and check up on his latest projects. Have a wonderful time with the family in the UK.Those babies grow so fast! It must feel great to be able to work on projects in your own home now. Don't forget to water the plants!

[@The-Quinta]

Looking forward to starting here! The plants are refreshed and looking ………..🥴

[@coralgledhill64]

Another fabulous video. You’ve done a great job so far, James - it’s not a race, you’ll get there in the end. So pleased you are joining Cristina in the UK - have a wonderful time 🤗 xx

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you, and thank you😉

[@sydneyevans2637]

I was surprised to see you two today. I figured you'd be living it up on holiday. Got a kick out of the Nick comment, "tastes like grapes". Please show the picture of you and Cristina when you finish it. Be well and enjoy your family in the UK.

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you! Chance would be a fine thing! Haha! I’ll be sure to show you the painting when it’s done 😎👍

Nice toy, Cristna😃 Have fun staying in the UK. After so long with the village house, you guys really need to rest a little and spend time with your family♥

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you 🤗

[@elizabethtoet1113]

So good to see you back this week. I am sure it must good walking past the village house knowing that it is all done, it's beautiful and you were the ones that made it that way. So now onto new projects, I cannot wait. That bike looks pretty flash, I think I could even ride it LOL Glad to see that you are both going to visit the children and the grandchildren. Maybe we will get some UK footage. have a great time with those beautiful babies.

[@The-Quinta]

Thanks Elizabeth it’s nice to see it done. The bike is fantastic 😊

[@billyinwaves]

I'd never have started the pump house changes - although I can see why you have done it. Well done for getting there in the end. Go see your grandchildren.

[@The-Quinta]

I wish I hadn’t, but glad I did. Thanks for watching😎👍

[@katefinnegan8129]

Great job James. Glad you are going back to UK to see the kiddos.

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you Kate 😊

[@dweamy1]

James, you are in dire need of a break!! I am glad you're going to the UK, and hope that the change will help.

[@The-Quinta]

I’m good thanks, but thanks for caring 😎👍🏼

[@meglange3595]

Hope you two have a wonderful and refreshing break together in the UK. I was hoping you'd take one after finishing the village house. See you next time. 🥰🌾♥️

Thank you Deborah. The plants are as always well looked after😉

[@portugalthewrightway]

Great video guys 👌 Being a Vovó is tiring 😁❤️💤💤💤 Quality time with the family is the best 🤗 Where's the picnic 🧺 on the bicycle 😁? Enjoy the week you guys 🤗🤗

[@The-Quinta]

Thanks you two. Hopeful we’ll get a picnic soon. It’s lovely seeing the family and as you say. Very tiring, but I get to give them back at the end of the day, soooo…….🤔 enjoy your weekend 😊

[@portugalthewrightway]

@@The-Quinta 😂😂😂, true. Have a great weekend guys. Enjoy the rugby, if you're watching. 🤗❤️

[@projectportugal]

Great video guys, love ❤ the pipe leaking sequence (hilarious)

[@The-Quinta]

Haha! Wasn’t fun at the time 😊

[@bealbocht63]

Despite the aggravation of the leaks you have tidied up the “5th bedroom” nicely.😅

[@The-Quinta]

Haha! Thank you 😊

[@joanbroadway759]

Does the pump house filter the water going into both the pavilion and the house? Does it clean the water enough to drink or do you need another filter inside?...I'm full of questions today...who's going to watch the dogs while you're gone?

[@The-Quinta]

It does feed both properties, but we have separate filters for the house. A friend is staying over to take care of the dogs. Thanks for watching! 😎👍🏼

[@QuartetTravel]

I like both of you such an adorable couple. Love how beautifully you guys renovated this house. I’m saving money to buy a small piece of land and inspired by your videos 😅

[@aalsmeersteenhouwer7078]

What is your Channel cald. Can we follow you😃

[@The-Quinta]

That’s nice of you, thank you! Good luck with your dream 😊

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

Christina is lovely to see you with your family in the uk. Your little grandchild is beautiful.I’m envious. Mine are in Australia. Not so easy to pop over from Ireland 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you so much! It can’t be easy so far away 😔

[@joaobalhe]

hello, the burn thing around the grape leafes its called Mildewin ... its a common desease

[@The-Quinta]

Ok, that’s good to know. Thank you!😊

[@jj4alley]

I always look forward to your videos but couldn't actually finish this one due to the sound issues 😢

[@The-Quinta]

Sorry about that. I’ve no idea what went wrong. In editing it sounds perfect. I’ll be sure to fix the problem for next time.

[@jj4alley]

[@wm7195]

And 20 times ducking under the wire 😅 Fun video. ❤️

[@The-Quinta]

Yea-! Still ducking 😂

[@verandahmeander]

James have you tried eating frozen grapes? Delicious snacks. Just drop bunch/es into a ziplock bag and freeze. Can be eaten one at a time as they don't stick together. Red seedless are my favourite but those pink grapes look like a possibility.

[@The-Quinta]

That’s sound great! I’ll give it a go 😎👍🏻

[@miriammuskal5402]

Have a great time in the UK

Thanks! Will do! 😎👍

[@marilynm8812]

The EV bike looks like fun. Hope you watered the plants before you left, James. Enjoy your trip.

[@The-Quinta]

I hope so too! 😉 the bike is great fun.

[@dannave7816]

James! Water the plants!

[@The-Quinta]

Now you tell me😎

[@veemount3803]

That e bike looks great fun Cristina! James can you remind me what that wee room you were working in is used for (just for context) please? It did look like quite a frustrating project. Have a fab time in UK. 😊

[@The-Quinta]

It’s just a pump house to filter the water from our dam. The bike is fabulous

[@marabenez9897]

I fill my self part of the family, kkk or that we are all a family in this round world.

Welcome to the family 😊

water the plants .

[@The-Quinta]

I’m on it 😊

[@JenShea]

Great video :) That bike seems to be comfortable. I have terrible lower back issues and cannot lean forward... you looked rather straight up on it. With those larger tires, I'm wondering how the shocks were. (I have to be careful being jolted around).

[@The-Quinta]

Thank you. The bike is very comfortable to ride and you can adjust the shocks to suit you. Take a look at there website. 😊
