Loving seeing the development as it progresses.

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Lol, mom was adorable in your surfshark promo 😂, too cute! Paul has made amazing progress on the new build, such a skilled craftsman as is Omar with his carpentry. Dream team 👍

[@Alfablue227]

Andrea your amazing. A videographer, editor, wife, painter, carpenter 's assistant daughter, cat mommy, and great cook plus... you keep your manicures up to date! What super chick u are! Omar was brave driving to Coimbra! The city is in chaos due to all the construction, and renos❤. I hv to be there Tuesday and I am dreading it. Congratulations to all on the great work!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

aww thanks so much! I do enjoy my manis! Mum, sister and I enjoy them haha and we changed them once they are too long! Thank you for your comment, you are very kind :) You are completely right about Coimbra, every time we have to go there is a different diversion and my goodness, it does take a bit of patience!

[@louiseupton3363]

Beautiful weather for bike riding 👌😊 Your cupboards look really good Omar 👍also good practice for the house 🏠 Simon's work is brilliant, you guys are so lucky that he's building your home 🏡 Happy weekend everyone and see you in your next video 😊

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thanks so much for your lovely message! 😊 It really has been perfect weather for bike riding, hasn’t it? And I’ll pass on your compliments to Omar. he’s been doing an amazing job with the wardrobe and the kitchen cupboard, definitely good practice for the house!

[@Neverforget133]

Videos are very good but please one request an entire video just on the amazing stone work he deserves some recognition 👏 ❤️ 👍 😊

[@TheIndigoEscape]

we have done several videos previously with plenty stone work but there is so much you can show without becoming repetitive. Hence why we try to mix it up a bit showing a bit of everything. It also gives everyone a break from the camera so we can focus on the actual project. No worries, there is plenty of stone work to come.

[@annmcnamara8]

Omar an amazing drawer maker + wardrobe ect I love watching you doing Carpentry

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you Ann!

[@nanoresmith2697]

Again I'm impressed! 🤭 Omarster, the Master drawer builder..🔨🔫🪚 Your lunch looked good and well presented 🍗🥗

Thank you 😋

Nice work, the wardrobe will be beautiful. It’s always fun to mix work with pleasure. 🏍 ❤

Foam rollers baby!!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

We didn’t find any at our local hardware store 😭 when we get to the big one at the city, we should stock up.

[@LorraineinAustralia]

Another great video. I’m so pleased for you, getting yourselves properly comfortable in the current house. Life is too short to be roughing it for too long. It will be a lovely guest house when your stone house is finished ❤️🌺❤️

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Absolutely! I will be a very ncie place for our family and friends to stay over. Even rent it out for a bit during the summer :)

[@asouthafrican3200]

Well done everyone - progress is great. Love the new look video 😊

[@lapsedluddite3381]

Thanks for sharing another great video, especially the commercial. That was the best Surfshark promo I have ever seen, definitely award-worthy! Kudos to Mom and invisible Andrea! 🥰🥰🥰

[@shujaiqbal414]

I wish I could be there and do the stone wall with simon. I am loving it

[@TheIndigoEscape]

I bet! We tried to do it with him and it's super difficult!

WAOOO !!!!!!Andrea , 😋 ese lunch se ve delicioso y muy nutritivo . Lista para preparar algo similar ☺️ me inspiraste 😉 gracias. Abrazos a todos son realmente muy trabajadores, me encanta verlos.

[@MirneDerks]

That wardrobe will be perfect -- that's always the great thing about customising your cabinetry -- you get exactly what you want. And I agree with Andrea - that stonework is awesome and looks like its always been there!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thanks Mirne! The wardrobe will be an amazing addition. I try to catch you up more with the stonework on next week's video

[@kellyh8347]

Question for the Q&A: whose house is Simon building? Is that for you guys and Simon will have the tiny home? I’m kinda seeking a lovely family complex maybe with some pavers in between to gather for dinner-?Great work once again! I love the cooking part-I’m going to try the cinnamon cumin recipe on some carrots! 🥕 Thank you!!

[@SMoe]

Simon is Andrea's brother in law. He has his own property. The tiny home was on Simon's property before Omar and Andrea bought their own. If you watch their first couple of videos, you can see them moving the tiny house from Simon's property to their current property. The house that Simon is working on is for Omar and Andrea.

[@kellyh8347]

@@SMoe thank you so much for clarifying that for me! I don’t have extra time to go back so I really appreciate the help!

[@patriciabrawner3717]

Wardrobe looks great, always enjoy your videos, and your cats are so beautiful. Thanks for sharing and I always enjoy when you cook, have a blessed week.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you! 😊

[@larachristley4659]

With the rollers, just wrap them in tape and it pulls off the tidbits before painting. You’ll usually get a smoother finish with the rollers versus the brushes.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Absolutely, much prefer rollers than brushes! I'll try that tip next time!

[@marilynbates5939]

Consider foam rollers which can eliminate the annoying fuzzy bits when rolling paint on smooth surfaces. Looking good!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Great idea! Thank you! I’ll see if I can find them

He will get me back one day, really bad! 🤗🤣🤗🤣

[@AdaMakawee]

I don't think I missed a video, but I must have missed why there are holes in the back of your wardrobe. Is there access from both front and back? It's different here in the U.S. we normally build our closets into the actual room itself, so I'm not as used to seeing them free standing unless they are already pre-made. So please be patient with an old lady. Thanks!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Dont worry Ada! We will show you on the next video how we put it together. It's much better making them on situ but the space is so small it will probably be a bit stressful hence why we made it outside and then position it in here afterwards :)

[@marieratcliffe4804]

simons attention to detail is amazing. how many wouls measure to make sure it didnt stick out. his workmanship is top quality and such a beautiful creation

[@wendyGteH]

Now really Omar, tell us, not enough paint again? Well then you have to go and buy it, ......on the bike.........with a big smile......You don't fool us ;-)

Will that paint stop wood borers from eating into the presses ?.

[@annar6430]

Hi, for the Q and A...Did you help Simon build / his house...or is that in the future. You are both very skilled. Maybe the roller is too fluffy..soaks up too much paint?

[@TheIndigoEscape]

It6 is a bit too fluffy and the paint is a bit thick. So a foam roller would have been better but I couldn't find any! :(
