Things Are Changing Fast At The Portugal House Renovation.

Exciting Progress in Our Portuguese Renovation Project!
Our renovation project in Portugal is evolving every week as we work tirelessly to bring our vision to life. This week, we're making significant strides toward completing the back of the house, and things are really starting to take shape.
In this episode, Skinny receives a well-deserved surprise for all his hard work, although he encounters a few stings along the way!
A special shoutout to the amazing team at Lithium Tech for their incredible support. Thanks to them, we received the bike super fast, along with two awesome helmets!

Made a 62 year old fella cry when you gave skinny the bike!. Don’t no what happened to him, but have donated a Fiver . He seems a hard working genuine man.

Your act of kindness, compassion, & generosity is incredible. The world needs more people like you. Skinny is such a character & brilliant at his job he deserves this. Love your channel 👍👏

Be sure to tell Skinny he has become a favorite on your channel! Sometimes things change for people, the universe puts people together that belong together and magic happens! Thank you both for your kind hearts and spreading compassion and joy.

[@posttoasty7552]

So amazing! The love and human compassion you possess in your heart is something we all can aspire to.

Everyone deserves friends n family. Sometimes friends become family. I am glad in this crazy hate filled world that kind people like you’ll are here to teach kindness.

[@vickijohnson8151]

Oh my gosh you had me crying!!! How sweet to see kindness given to another…that man has worked hard .. and you are a blessing to him

[@deborahwhite2339]

Skinny is a sweet deserving hard working fellow. He moves forward in spite of having some very tough times. I think the bike is such a beautiful gift. When i saw the one he was driving with leaking gas line and a gas jug between his feet, it totally freaked me out. You guys are the best! 🙂👍👍🇨🇦❤❤

[@SantaandMrsClausBarganier]

Changing someone else’s life is a blessing!

[@The-Quinta]

We hope it’s a step in the right direction. 😎👍🏻

[@DC-ue4ym]

You and Cristina are awesome people! The world needs more like you. You are kind, generous and respectful...the type of people I would choose for friends. Thanks for making my day.

[@sandratweedale2579]

Never mind some of us just love everything you film including your extended furry/feathered family. It’s all just such a great way to escape our lives and travel the world with all of you. Love it all! God bless and thank you 😊 🥰👋🇨🇦👵🐕

[@barbaraolim2811]

What a beautiful gesture giving a new bike to Skinny! Lovely stone cladding 👍

[@The-Quinta]

He deserves it! The cladding is looking pretty good👍🏼

[@andie1769]

Lovely gesture to Skinny! He’s a gem, a bit like your good selves! Enjoying the build. 😊

[@samanthabond9607]

My word I’m speechless, thank you for everything you do for Skinny you are both incredible. ❤

[@adam_west_photo]

I think I've something in my eye. Lovely gesture from Detlev and you both. It goes to show that communication and understanding with those who don't live up to our expectations can be rewarding for everyone. We simply don't know most people's stories. Skinny is quite a character and his rough render is like icing a cake. I'll send him a beer. Cheers, Adam.

[@nancysherry1110]

God Bless You for Helping Skinny!!!!!

[@The-Quinta]

We’re very grateful for his help! 😎👍🏻

[@user-uk8sm4ec3l]

What a beautiful gesture of your friendship, appreciation and love for skinny. I welled up when I saw Skinny wiping away his tears, bless him. ❤

[@joanlovelace7338]

The wall is gorgeous ‼️ You had me in tears for Skinny, he was so thankful for that beautiful bike, so kind of you. Wow the wonderful flowers they are gorgeous must take hours to just water them. Great video the place is looking great. Fan from USA 🇺🇸 👋👋

[@nancysherry1110]

Skinney’s work is so beautiful!

[@The-Quinta]

He works incredibly hard and is always willing to help! 😎👍🏻

[@raquelreis2365]

you made me cry. I love you guys. and I got what skinny said lol , I am brazilian lol.

[@The-Quinta]

Haha! He’s hilarious 😂

[@marilynm8812]

What a wonderful surprise for someone who deserves it. You are so thoughtful. The stone for Detlev is a great idea. Skinny the Braveheart.

[@kmm6463]

Hey, Cristina & James, you guys make the world a better place, but I suppose you know that, thank you, Karina ❤

[@leannekudahl2432]

James, Christina and Detlev, it brought tears to my eyes and warmth to my heart to see you show Skinny appreciation for all that he is and does. I enjoy watching his genuine humanity through your channel. His gratitude for the small things ,and the large, that you have given him is wonderful to see and a good reminder for a lot of us, as to how privileged we are. And, if a wasp stung me on any part of my body you would hear more than a few 'profanities'!

[@coldcanadian8622]

OMG! You guys are the best! I was tearing up.

[@The-Quinta]

It was a joy to see his happiness. 😊

[@sandyadams3267]

This is an example of good Karma. May many be inspired by your kindness ❤

[@kimsparks7871]

Your kindness towards Skinny brought tears to my eyes. Good on you two!

[@nancysherry1110]

What a wonderful thing you have done!

[@The-Quinta]

He deserves it! 😊👍🏻

[@DreamofaHive]

Loved the bit where Christina was talking to Skinny at the well - Skinny looked 2 foot 6 inches tall. I have absolutely no idea what was being said but it looked like Skinny had been accused of not cleaning his room or putting his dirty socks in the laundry basket. hahaha Love your new bike Skinny and that helmet is something else! May you have many happy times riding it and NEVER get stung up the nose by a wasp again! xxx

[@robinfereday6562]

Think you made 50,000 subscribers tear up with your fantastic present for Skinny a wonderful gesture by you all ❤️

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Very nice to see you supporting a local guy. And a very nice gesture passing the buy me a coffee funds his way as well. I'll be taking advantage to supporting Skinny via that mechanism, thanks for the option. Take care D

[@gracegarciaberceilles9324]

Vous êtes de très belles personnes avec un cœur énorme ! Prenez soin de vous, je vous regarde chaque semaine et j’aime beaucoup ce que vous faites. MERCI

[@sheilabing9588]

Like everyone else I was crying when Skinny got his new bike. Now we’ll have to have a wip round for a bike cover! 😂

[@stephenmonaghan6030]

Excellent idea with the coffees. I get the impression you are very lucky to have him working for you, and without doubt he's lucky to have you.

[@gioc4596]

That is such an awesome gesture from you all to Skinny. He looks so happy and appreciative. Good on you all!!! BTW tell Skinny he looks like a Topgun pilot with the new helmet.

[@laurelrogers3176]

Awesome gift! Very thoughtful

You and Christina are so kind and thoughtful, bless you for the hand up you are giving Skinny as you get to know him! It is humbling to when you hear some people’s stories and to be willing and able to help them is a great gift! Also, I love the engraving you did for Detlev, that is awesome!
