Well done on this project Both of you, can i just say when you are scrapping and sanding the old paint off walls and ceilings, please remember that from 1945 until 1980 most paint had Asbestos in it. so take precautions when removing it. Good luck on your journey. 👍🇬🇧

The 1st Xmas away from our family was the hardest time for us in Bulgaria, but the reunions were fantastic, until it came to saying bye again that is. We spent money on having a veranda and a roof terrace but in reality due to the extreme heat we rarely used them (not enough to justify the expense) obviously, you may well make use of it more than we did, but thought I'd mention it. Love the pizza machine! We used to buy via Gabieli the same way via Ekont (both great services). It used to be a £1 per kilo (pre Brexit).

Looking good mate 👍

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

Thanks 👍

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Looking good, happy new year ❤

[@wichywoo]

you could put a tin roof on top of your leaky flay roof as a quick cheep fix . screw some batons down to the concrete with a fall on it for the water to run and bang your tin sheets on ;o)

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@wichywoo since cleaning roof it's stopped leaking crazy but will be painting it in new year to waterproof it fully

[@tdezyn]

At least your happy, the disgruntled ones are what they are. Fantastic videos with down to earth info and visuals. Thanks for the time and effort for the videos. How long have you spent on the renovations?

[@AnthonySimpkins-g9e]

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

[@ZerHour]

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

Thanks 👍

[@Craftaholic36]

Seems quite slow progress for just 3 rooms, Victoria must be a saint lol. Looking forward to seeing the final finish x

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@Craftaholic36 we have had to rebuild a shower from ground up it took 2 weeks for new concrete floors to dry then have roof repairs. Unfortunately kitchen was a month to be delivered and oon top my back has gone struggling daily 😪 And we done loads of outdoor work

[@Craftaholic36]

@@TheOffgridNomadUK Sorry to hear about your back, hope its better now. I'm so looking forward to seeing the end result. Happy new year to you both. Hope its a gooden x x

[@Craftaholic36]

@@TheOffgridNomadUK Just to add. Once the loft is restored could you put in a large viewing window to sit, admire the views and watch wonderful sunsets

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

​@@Craftaholic36 We are weeks behind on vlogs we move back into other house in new year just finished fitting kitchen today now taking 4 days off to rest my back and get treatment in near city in a Airbnb and at same time see new year in out there

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@@Craftaholic36 we got lots of plans with big veranda and maybe completely new roof with extra bedrooms as you don't need planning if you build up on your structure.

[@gordonsmith3706]

Hi Paul...glad to see your move finally came to pass ...hope it's a lot cheaper to renovate n live in than living in the uk

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@@gordonsmith3706 so much cheaper than uk we are only planning on a tiny budget

[@gordonsmith3706]

@TheOffgridNomadUK it has me thinking....I sold up to get out of the debt trap and bad neighbours , to move to Glen Coe for a new type of work but it didnt pan out .. I moved a bit further North abd am in a static caravan now. Also have a new partner who says she's happy to move around . The UK is dire .

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@gordonsmith3706 I felt uk was going down the pan life is simple out here it's unreal we love it

[@Atom12-o6h]

You can probably avoid debt but you shouldn't trust the neighbours here, people randomly try to come on the property and take over as if you aren't really the owner​@@gordonsmith3706

As diesel is cheap over there, would diesel heaters outdoors going through holes in house work? I see the wood fire heaters take a lot of room in house.

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

Don't see why not we got Aircon with heat fitted aswell now very low power aswell

[@richardhewitt.easyvanlife.6957]

We all have lofts full of rubbish, put up there just in case never to be used.

[@nikolayivanov6924]

Diesel is not cheap at all. Diesel heaters disappeared in Bulgaria in the middle of the 80s.

[@chrisgoodwin6006]

How do you go on for residency have you had to do it

[@nadyadobreva9904]

Knock it down!? The house is pretty sturdy and has a lot of space. It just needs a little plastering and painting. Otherwise, it is perfectly Ok. My only remark is that you came to Bg just before winter and renovations are much more difficult - weather is colder, days shorter, etc.

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@nadyadobreva9904 we are a few weeks behind with uploading vlogs but house 1 is about finished moving in next week just delay on kitchen and floors to dry and my back has gone iam away now for a week getting treatment and seeing new year in at Veliko Tarnovo

[@nadyadobreva9904]

@TheOffgridNomadUK That is great! Have a nice rest now! You are doing a nice job! Your village is great as well. Please, you know that the summer months starting from May to September are extremely hot - so get a swimming pool ready, I mean, first the spot and then the pool. And then - a BBQ and a lot of beer. Happy New Year now!

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

@nadyadobreva9904 definitely need a pool sorting out lol

[@MeetthePotters]

All looking good, cant wait for more footage.. Can you let me know what the service is you use to get from amazon uk to BG? Happy New Year!!

[@TheOffgridNomadUK]

Forgot name it was in last video wife mentioned them I will try do another pick up in new year got lots on order for my truck I can't get in Bulgaria

[@MeetthePotters]
