Be care full about the upper terrace in front of the stacked tiles. It appears there is a crack forming and the bank will sluff off into your house. Be safe and great job.

[@conniehartgraves504]

@@richardedmondson9249 I noticed that too. We just had a large slide in our neck of the woods (Jackson Hole, WY). Would hate to see that happen.

[@REASONFORTRUTH]

Love the family element! 1) LOVE 2) Family helping 3) Parents acting and being real parents -encouraging 4) Parents supporting their children’s dream 5) can see where the “get her done” comes from! 6) Great episode!

Hi guys! Will you be considering building a stone wall to reinforce your “warehouse terrace”? In your drone aerial footage it looks like the soil is fracturing. I’m just wondering here. Love seeing family work together. Mom and dad are real troopers ❤

[@esthersaldana9772]

I noticed it too! A very large fracture.

[@anthonystevens749]

Yes, I stopped for another look at exactly the same point! Another suggestion is to plant suitable green reinforcing on the slopes - I did this successfully when I built a terraced mound with a JCB, and the roots of the shrubs binds the soil tight. 😎

[@colleenbalch328]

It's easy to see where your work ethic, problem-solving, and can-do attitude come from, Drew! You are so blessed to have the parents you do. It must have felt just great to have gotten so much done.

[@balaenopteramusculus]

19:51 I bet you already noticed, but to be on the safe side: your terrace is about to give way and slump down. You'd better stabilise before a few rainstorms come in.

[@wildbill3332]

I was just about to respond with the same info. Glad others noticed

[@dl2688]

@@wildbill3332 same here. Was looking if there was a comment already

[@carolynrae1845]

So glad a few others have noticed that too. A good rain will get into that crack & create havoc in no time. That potentially could be a huge catastrophe.

This video is probably one of my favorites! OK, maybe I’m a little biased because I am a mosaic artist and teacher. Those tiles are a beautiful mosaic just waiting to happen. If you need any advice or suggestions when you use them, just send me a message and I will try to be as much help as possible. I love seeing and encouraging other people’s creativity! Your mom is such a trooper and your dad seems to be a good motivator! I also want to say thank you for seeing the treasure in those tiles and being willing to use them. Not everybody sees past a pile or something that needs to be clean or that’s broken and is willing to use them. You were amazing! 😊

[@vickieb2781]

I can’t wait to see what they do!

[@weedfreer]

19:49 err, my man, if you wanna keep using that terrace, then, I’d suggest you get some gabion baskets embedded into the lower slope to contain it or something. Doesn’t look too long before you’ll have a serious land-slip on your hands!

[@Enfrance2003]

Sadly I can’t show my wife the shots of you in the restaurant because she has dementia and it might trigger a recollection about restaurants we went to when we lived in France and her subsequent distress. We also had many very happy holidays in the Algarve around Tavira and Sao Bras. I was quite tearful with the lovely memories your sequence reminded me of. Your time with your parents is very precious and it’s lovely to see that you take such care with the editing that will be wonderful reminders in the future.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

We like knowing you are familiar with this area and the memories you made here 🇵🇹

[@gafairbanks2434]

Ma & Pa definitely present the hard work ethics my father and grandmother taught me thru the years of growing up ! They brought forth tears to me, remembering mine. Must be why I connect to you all as family. Great job, EVERYONE! 💞 I sure hope the previous owners can " drop in " and see all your hard works & beautiful progress. LOVE TO EVERYONE 💜😽🥰

Please reconsider parking your vehicle (the Navarra) on that terrace . . that steep soil is not stable enough . . it might be ok one time as a static load but regular traffic could well create a slide 🤞

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

Wow, I was noticing how together your Mom was with the tiles and then she pulled out the guns...showed you fellows up! Your happiness was abundant having your parents there Drew. And the ending......was superb! The music, food, ambiance galore! Now I know why Spain and Portugal was a special place for a very good friend of mine who lived there (from Boston) and studied there. My Portuguese roots are calling! Maybe one day. Really enjoyed this.

I see a growing problem. The aerial view of the storage area shows a seam opening on the ground surface. Next thing you know it slides off to the lower area.

[@Mach1Greeble]

Those tensile cracks at 19:53 are very concerning. Not much is going to stop that slipping when the conditions are right.

[@jgoo4572]

I thought the same thing. They must know since the truck was parked close to that one side. Maybe throw grass and tree seeds on the slope and caution tape below? Looks like the extra concrete pipes are the only thing in real jeopardy if it gives way.

Drew's dad is so knowledgeable about all things about construction. Drew has a good teacher! Great editing, Brittany❣️ Figs❣️ Beautiful shot of the town at night and that restaurant! Lemon meringue pie is my favorite, and my father tried to make me to learn to play the accordion, maybe because I'm half Portuguese! Loved the music!

Congrats guys, cannot wait for next week!

[@Pam7555]

Dad looks like he is in his element and having the best time ever!

[@carlthor91]

I bet you've started costing the solar install on the shade canopy, and you have room for more battery modules. For the controllers use Victron MPPT. Depending on the shade ~2-3 panels to a controller. Longest lasting for the money. For all your adobe supplies. A really small 1 hp jaw crusher, rented even. Then a dry container to store it in after it is reduced back to fines. Best wishes all.

How lovely to have your parents come over to help and they worked hard.Always need parents-lol. Your place is coming on and looking good. Didn’t see the cats in this video so hope they are ok. We use steel and concrete for building here and steel is good as no termites can eat it. Just a suggestion regarding the roof. Use either a light grey, white or off white as the deters the sun a lot but the darker the roof then it retains the heat.

[@kellyh8347]

The tiles yer mom moved (all the cracked ones) would make an amazing mosaic terrace near the stream or even special touch in the kitchen!! Awesome work! Love your parents! They had their stress test 😂😂😂…thank you for taking us to dinner with you-it’s nice to see some of what is nearby!!

ALL CAUGHT UP!! I started watching you guys about 2 weeks ago but went back to start watching before you bought the property in Portugal. I have binge-watched until today and now can't wait for the next video! Your castle is beautiful! Also, check into the concrete stain for the water towers and even some of your inside walls. Many people use that for concrete tennis courts. Paint starts to crack and peel after time, but concrete stain does not (we had a family hardware business for 40 years, so I got lots of good advice from tradesmen).
