You've done brilliantly guys.. Love it and especially love the kitchen and bathroom areas. With every job, it's so easy to beat yourselves up as you see the niggles and faults in your own work, but most folk won't notice or care.. As far as furniture goes, you're spot on..there is very little out here that doesn't fall apart with woodworm 🤷🏻‍♂ We have a pile of stuff that will be burned when we're allowed to burn again at the end of the month. The house is your own creation and it's coming along so well since we first saw it.. 😊 I'm sure it'll evolve as it goes.. Take care 🙏 Loads of love from the Purple House 💜😻💜

Initial set up quite expensive but having that backup in BG winters is great!😅

Wow!!! You've done an absolutely fantastic job with the house! Thank you for the tour, this video was well worth the wait. :) Side question just out of curiosity - how's Hudson doing with the nursery being in Bulgarian?

[@ourderelictdream]

Thank you so much for lovely comment and glad you like it! We are lucky to have found a small private nursery with a Bulgarian and English speaking teacher so they can communicate well and hopefully he will pick it up over time.

Just a tiny piece of advice from me - if you intend to plant veggies, select the plot and pay some local to plough it with a tractor in November. May sound stupid but from what I can see in the video, the land hasn't been ploughed in years. You'll struggle to do your veggie patch plus your crops may not attach well. Plough it , put some ammonium nitrate (or animal dung) and prep for spring ( nan used to grow the seeds over the winter on the windowsill, then in spring prep a greenhouse with a bed of animal dung and let them grow even bigger and stronger before transferring them to the ground). She used to to put a lot of animal dung in the soil prior to putting them down. Don't get my word for it tho, I used just to help her when I was a kid ;)

This is so lovely of you to share this local advice. We don't feel ready yet for growing, we may start some small raised beds next year for now until we work out what we want from the garden. It is very sloped so we have to manage that! Thank you 😍

@@ourderelictdream I noticed it's sloped. A good digger driver can amend that in a few hours. But as you still have work to do inside ( sealing and filling door frames, loft insulation etc) I guess you're not there yet. Still tho, if you like spring salads and onions ( not much work involved, unlike tomatoes and peppers) you can prep a small patch with a shovel. I used to do for my nan about half an acre ( some bits with local friends, eg the potatoes patch) . Child labor wasn't a thing in the past xD. She passed away in 2011 but last time she prep a garden was like 2008( she was too unwell since, working with the land all her life). Bulgarian childhood was very simple and hardworking xD we used to joke that village life is five working plus two sweating days xD Life used to be cheap and relaxing. Then we joined the EU and things went mad. Nowadays people have better life standards on paper but it's just on paper.when I was growing up , a beer was 40 stotinki in a bottle of 0.5l, a bread was 50 stotinki. We didn't have much and yet they were far happier times without much stress :)

@@svetoslavtodorov2427 yes we've had a digger in already for ground works, we'll get to looking into the outside next year, this is a long project for us. We do plan to grow but for now I really enjoy supporting all the locals and buying from the village markets our produce. What wonderful memories you must have of your time with your Baba, thank you for sharing

Looks amazing think the last one i watched was the windows being fitted but looks like it worked out really well and pretty fast. I can see the roof that has been retiled and straight aswell! Can't see any guttering though (only joking :P )
