RAISING OUR TURRET ROOF to let more NATURAL LIGHT into our home!

Those men on the work crew are amazing! I sure wish I could hire them. The turret roof is splendid. They did a lot of problem solving as well as hard work to make that perfect. I hope someone will show them all these comments so they know how much they are admired and their work is appreciated around the world.

Drew’s Portuguese is getting there quickly. I admire his dedication to learning a new language. He’s always ready to work hard at everything he does. Kudos to Brittney for her skill in Portugese too!🎉

Raising the turret roof of the mill is giving it much more character. It’s magical!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Oooo we love that you think so too 🥹🤗🏰✨

[@janpcs]

And the extra light makes it more beautiful from the inside too.

Part 2 of 3 of our turret roof renovation, we hope you love it as much as we do!! Sending you big love wherever you may be 😘😘 Updates on Drew’s parents and the recent hurricanes in Florida shared on our community page here kzbin.infocommunity So much love, B & D (and the kitties too)

[@foodandstuff2724]

I was thinking that dome would have looked amazing if it could have been electrically raised and lowered with sensors that lower it in the rain. Like in a car when the wipers come on in the rain, crazy idea 😊

[@nannapatty110]

The turret renovation is very interesting. I have been watching the news all about the weather. I was glad to see Florida did not get hit bad. Like other places. I live in Virginia and we got hit in some areas. But not like the people in NC And Tennessee and other areas. Those places list everything. And lost family and friends also. It has been so sad to see. Prayers for all of them.🙏🙏❤️❤️

Your workers are brilliant

[@mcraw4d]

Raising the turret and reshaping was a great decision! Much better look and lines to the mill

[@levt2156]

The turret is fantastic! Truly a special feature of the house, and i can only imagine how fabulous the bathroom will look with a chandelier hanging from the center. The light ring created from elevating the structure brings in the most beautiful natural light. I am so happy for you both to be progressing so quickly on what can only be described as a one of a kind gem of a home. Your vision is endless! Your crew is also one of a kind! Please let them know that we're watching them from the U.S. and are genuinely impressed with their work ethic and talent. Congratulations to you both for creating such a marvel. Love and hugs from Florida, Lauren ❤❤❤

[@jmalone2758]

The mermaid is the decorative top for a weather vane (the part with the arrow). The part with the North, South, east and west Needs set towards its northern position and should be stationary. So, when the wind blows the arrow will move & you'll know what direction the storm is coming from.

[@Emy53]

Loving the transformation so far. Pretty soon all 3 kitties will sleep with you. They definitely have adjusted to you and your surroundings.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

🥰 They certainly have and bring us joy to see them happy here.

[@warmbreeze43]

Such skilled workers. I’m just blown away by them. ❤

[@SherylTaggart-hl5zk]

I'm amazed by the quality of workmanship available to you. The people working on your home ROCK! Love Nelson and the Ukrainian team.

[@pandav4843]

they did big mistakes, one the big one is never stop a concrete pore ,you need all concrete to be pore in one go.. second never put wood inside the concrete..wood will absorb water and will crack the concrete, the concrete is porous absorb water..and much more, rebar is wrong. they need a structural engineer

[@bradsswinton]

19:51 add to your comment on your brilliant contructions workers. If they are good at what they do and turn up to work, yes hire them. I was thinking the same thing watching this video about, how the hell did they find these excellent workers? Cracking job on the videos btw. 🤘🤘

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Thank you, thank you!!

[@jsutherland1043]

I can truly appreciate the wonderful workers you've had on your stunning projects. Coming from someone who's been ripped off by so many contractors. 😢

[@module79l28]

They're a literal oasis in the middle of the desert that the Algarve is in terms of people/firms/services available for these and other types of jobs (the electricians included). Not so long ago, if you wanted something like this done you'd have to resort to companies from the Lisbon area or even from further north!

[@dyannejohnson6184]

The raised turret was a very good aesthetic idea

[@annaazzopardi4625]

Greetings from Central Florida. Glad your family is okay. So sorry that they got flooded. Happy to hear that they were safe. I’m near Orlando and luckily didn’t have any damage to my apartment. We even have all utilities on. It was so scary though. Wind 89 miles an hour and 13 inches of rain. We had more damage in our area with Hurricane Ian too. Unfortunately, there will be more flooding to come with the rivers and lakes. Not near me though but I feel for all that will be affected. ❤🤗

[@6spring3]

I hope that crew gets paid well. What hard work they are accomplishing so magnificently!

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

Just think once the mill is done, you can expand your garden & preserve your own food. I started canning at 23. My grandfather taught me to garden all my life then to can. I’m 55, we’ve been growing our own food & canning ever since. Easiest thing to learn to water bath can is tomatoes! I tripled my tomato growth this year with to goal not to buy any tomato based product for a year. I set a different goal every year. If you want to learn, I’ll be waiting in the wings to help you out!

[@rlcarver]

Beautiful 😍. Glad the Florida fam is A-OK 👍

[@rosewardale159]

Sorry guys abit late watching this wk, been a busy bee🙂 I love you decided to raise the turret roof, it looks amazing, theyve done an incredible amount of work on it, love the natural light coming through! Oooooh I cant wait to see this bathroom finished, love your Brass fixtures (close to copper) as I suggested for seagreen tiles and copper fittings, cant wait to see it all come together😊 Will you go all the way with tiles to roof, or half way and top half something else, the suspense is killing me, cant wait🤣🤣🤣 Love Rose xx

The deep breath at the beginning of every video calms me and settles me in to just enjoy the moment. Thank you so much for making these Britney and Drew!!!

[@VictorPMarcos]

You are always so busy with so many tasks at the same time that even I get tired. You can already see big changes in the watermill, which is transforming from a ruin into a palace. Such big changes... it's almost finished! Then comes the challenge of the finishing touches... Good luck

Turret roof takes on new dimensions and development. Gaining more light.

[@sandy89107]

Light makes everything more beautiful 🎉❤. That turret roof and the light coming in now. I think that is my favorite room right now 😅❤

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

To answer Drew’s question, yes, yes I’ve seen a process a lot like this bc enormous grain bins are built the same way! Top first, then jacked up, next ring built, then jacked up over & over until the bin is built. The turret is shaped like a bin roof too.

[@mariegallagher4725]

The roof turret looks amazing. Your Ukrainian craftsmen are so skilled. It's lovely how Brit makes sure she has refreshments for your team. The Ukrainian sweets were such a nice touch. You both treat all the people who have worked for you with mutual respect. You are such a lovely couple.❤❤

[@jeffreylocke8808]

Raising the turret roof to allow light in is a twofold great idea really. Addressing the leaking and adding aesthetic elements too is a win-win idea to actually undertake.

The Ukrainian hottie fan club will be happy with this video. What’s his name? I think Drew called him “Arturo” in one video. These workers are so talented and incredible to watch. They can do everything. Wish we had people like them in the US. Here you hire someone to put on a roof and pray it doesn’t leak immediately once they’re done.

[@KarlKarsnark]

Using the threaded rod to raise the roof was a clever solution that made leveling it much easier and more precise than using wood blocks, or something like that. I'm curious to see how they cover/encapsulate them. Cheers.

[@AdamofCA.]

and, the rods will last longer than the old school, wooden blocks.

In the last frames of this episode, you can see the electrical cord hanging down the centre of the tower - YAY!

My word that turret is going to look spectacular now it has been raised with a sharper pitch💯👌 ( hint....pick your tomatoes early, when they are 3/4 orange/red colour. They will keep ripening on the kitchen bench and there is less chance of them being damaged on the bush by insects/pests or getting sunbrurnt ❣)

The long neck roof reminds me of a lighthouse. Thus, my preference for the top would be a metal wire, glass cover light bulb powered by a solar battery attached to the side edge of the tower, rather than a mermaid.
