Work on our centuries old cottage Garden got FLOODED!!!

When weather allowed us we did some work on our future home...it was a bit dusty ;)
Last night we had big storm with strong winds, loads of rain and some lightening and this caused flooding in our gardening ... so we tried to fix it as much as possible

So many supervisors to everything you do. I love how your animal family, including the hens, follow you everywhere.

[@portugalitis]

Yeah, getting more and more supervisors 🤣😁👍

[@theindieprojects]

That juicer is amazing! Happy you enjoyed the oranges 🍊

[@giedreruleviene]

❤❤❤❤ we had juice for 3 more days!!! Your oranges are amazing!!! So juicy!!!! I was looking for a seed in them so we can plant it but they don’t have seeds 😊😊😊

[@portugalitis]

I love it! Basic but it feels it will last forever 😁

[@lindabrooks8242]

Learning as you go, every single day! Mother Nature certainly has a mind of her own! All we can do is try to flow with her.♥️

[@portugalitis]

Wise words👍 so true

[@juliant225]

Great video guys I like the fact that your storage shed foundations are deep enough to with stand a earthquake 😂😂😂😂 you've done great work to ease the flooding on the garden it will get better. G great filming and thanks for telling us the orange juice tastes like orange juice 😂😂😂😂😂 take care

[@giedreruleviene]

😂😂😂😂😂 love your comments !!! Keep it coming 😊❤😊

[@portugalitis]

It will take days to drain water from foundations, but we will manage it 😁

[@juliant225]

You need a water pump 😀

[@portugalitis]

What difference it will make? Water will be coming back anyways 😁

[@anasilveira8471]

Beautiful the yellow granite, beautiful rock. 🌱

[@portugalitis]

It definitely is 😁

[@frigolero]

What a huge amount of rain the last days! But it's good to see how the water flows. It makes it a lot easier to make some good working water drainage. And the weather forecast for next week is looking very good! Great video again!

[@portugalitis]

Absolutely! And all that rain felt in two days 🙂

[@paulettebarber7219]

After a couple years you will have learned a lot about your land where to plant different crops, how to divert water etc. lots of work but so satisfying.

[@portugalitis]

Agree 💯 with you, it’s impossible to get everything right from the day 1 👍😁

[@portugaldreamzzz920]

Warmer weather and sunshine next week. You both work so hard and in all weathers. Xx

[@portugalitis]

Im sure all of us will enjoy it 👍😁

[@moreliving6047]

Thank you for this day lovely to meet you in real life and hopes the Oliver tree Will be useful Reidar & Gittan

[@giedreruleviene]

We had amazing day with you!!!! Was so lovely to meet you!!! And what a day !!!!! Your olive will be 👀 after!!!! We need to give a name to this olive!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@portugalitis]

Thank you very much guys for the tree and your help, it would of be mission impossible otherwise👍

[@leokeeney6673]

The rain in Spain Lies mostly in the plain,tis a very big plain 😁 keep going that rock is shaping up nicely to divert the water.At least Guffy looks up to you as his rock,i loved the way he was trying to stay awake in the car, and remember G, to much juice can also shift Rock's 😁🐔🐔

[@portugalitis]

Thank you, we will make it happen 👍😁

[@fisch69]

Suggestion: I would think that a water pump would be a great tool to keep on a farm that has no plumbing !! You know as soon as you sell it, you will need it!! And if decide to sell it, I would think your buddy Theo would definitely want to buy it!! Just sayin’!! Love you guys ..

[@portugalitis]

We have much lighter electric pump, and use it occasionally, Theo got the same honda pump 👍😁

[@Liz-uq1ec]

Excellent music choices for the video.. loved the granite - if you could cut a large piece it would make gorgeous work surfaces in the kitchen but that would be a huge boulder.. 😮😊

[@giedreruleviene]

It would be so heavy!!! Andrius cut few slices!!! So I can use it somewhere ;) ❤❤❤❤❤

[@portugalitis]

Thank you, to cut bigger pieces need a proper equipment 🙂

[@josemanueldacostadiogo5574]

Hi, hello good morning, carry on with the good work injoy it, good new week for you 2.

[@portugalitis]

Thank you, we will we 😁

[@davidstoddard9160]

Since you get all that rain this time of year, you could build a nice pond with that would hold all the water for your dry times and of course that would allow you to have the proper water when you need it. Win Win . How lucky you really are

[@portugalitis]

We have 3 wells and a borehole so water is not and issue for us 👍

[@shanebrownrigg8632]

hi guys great vid once again,good luck see you in next sunny vid

[@portugalitis]

Thank you, finally the sun is back 😁

[@insAneTunA]

Buy or make some feathers and wedges to split the rock. It is much much easier and it produces far less dust and it is far less physical work, and you can split fairly large pieces of granite at once. The idea behind it is that you drill some holes inline with each other and then you drive these metal wedges inside the holes with a hammer, and eventually that will split the rock with no effort at all. It doesn't matter how large the rock is as long as you have enough wedges.

[@portugalitis]

I have bought wedges last year, but with that type of rock it’s quicker to cut and crush then drill holes

[@insAneTunA]

It does require a good quality drill, the right tools make all the difference. 👍@@portugalitis

[@Reet64]

It’s amazing how Portugal is a place of extremely wet and extremely dry conditions. What you wouldn’t do for some of that water in the middle of summer!

[@portugalitis]

It felt so nice when it started to rain, now all we want is some sun 😁

[@robertlee6479]

Now you've had your rain. I hope you stored it all as you will need it later. Now you need to get all your veg seed sown as the next rain could be 4-5 weeks away so you will get them in now while the top soil is damp.

[@portugalitis]

Our property is a bit too cold to sow now, we made that mistake last year, and nothing was growing

[@user-fs9gh4wb2u]

Boa tarde ideal para plantação de arroz 🌾🌾 i

[@portugalitis]

Just need a temperature to go up 😁🤣

[@lizwilson6633]

Wow that is some rain you are having, not good for your potatoe growing though eh. Where I come from in Scotland they are called Tatties lol. Keep digging at those trenches you will soon divert all that water towards the stream. Guffy was trying to help lol his wee tail wagging away. When we were over there 2022 I was buying huge net bags of oranges, so cheap to buy. Freshly squeezed juice every morning was just delicious. Can't wait to see your wee house when it's finished xxxx

[@portugalitis]

Yeah, regarding potatoes I don’t think we can plant early, will have to wait till March, our Portuguese neighbor advice us that 👍

[@jokevasconcellos6930]

And in a month or two or three....it will be dry and hot😅

[@portugalitis]

Thats the best part living in Portugal 👍😁

[@jokevasconcellos6930]

That old bolt annd hook looks like something to tie a cow or horse to.... Looks ancient...perhapsa local farmer can tell you more..... Will be pleased to get flooding sorted, i am sure.😊

[@portugalitis]

We are finding a lot of old stuff on our land 😁

[@neutonrenda2303]

Amazing how much water you have on your property.

[@portugalitis]

Way too much at the moment 🤣

[@sachinj1]

Great video!!! Thank you for creating such a beautiful one..Happy living..Enjoy 🌹🙏🏻🌹

[@portugalitis]

Thank you so much! All the best 🙏

[@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414]

We are back in Portugal trying to figure out where to live. We are in the north...still looking around. Headed back to central in a few days. It's been raining. River here is flooded too. Gotta love the balmy winter weather raining or not.

[@portugalitis]

Have you managed to find something?

[@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414]

Had not planned on buying anything until I sell my property in the states. I did find where I want to move to and did check the real estate and opened a checking account. The one property I did come to buy was just a fluke...I was not looking it just appeared thought it was meant to be...How is everything with you guys...@@portugalitis

[@portugalitis]

Glad to hear that it’s going good for you, we as well live the dream 😁👍

[@GiuseppeAudino797]

Like all way very good video guys thanks 👋👋🍻🍻

[@portugalitis]

Thank you 🙏 😁

[@roberttodd26]

The Clear tube ( Ground Level ) Is Actually a “”Water Level “” used on Ship Building/ & Site Building Works, Over Long Distances For Very Accurate Levels!!! Regards Rob Todd.

[@portugalitis]

We used to borough one from the neighbor but as we will need it a lot now decided to make one for our self 👍

[@juanitakauffman6336]

At Christmas was that where you went into the river after your sauna? It is a beautiful area. When I was young draining puddles was a fun job. You have lot of puddles!

[@portugalitis]

Yes that was same river 👍😁

[@tinanieborg787]

Lots of rain over there, we have snow and cold, but its changing in rain soon to. Greetings from the north of Holland.

[@portugalitis]

Let’s hope you will get some sun soon 😁

[@dragonflysdiscoveries7567]

Great video kids. I wonder if there are trout in that river. It looked absolutely stunning.

[@portugalitis]

Thank you, that river stops flowing in the summer for about 1-2 months, so no trout in there, but I have fished it last summer, caught over 20 small barbell 👍😁

[@pamela5568]

Amazing how much rain you're getting there. The juicer is interesting and seems to work very well, but you'll need to plan for a place to mount it obviously. I'm looking forward to seeing your level.

[@portugalitis]

We are draining foundations twice a day after recent rain, and god knows how many times more we have to do it, juicer had rubber feet at some point, good idea to mount it somewhere 👍

[@neutonrenda2303]

It does look vintage, similar to a potato masher I have, great quality compared to what you get now.👍

[@portugalitis]

Yes before things were made to last…

[@august2108]

If that juicer has a pat number you could check it online I belive, Rain, we also have lots of rain over here (Europe) should be snow this time of year though easter it usually does ! take care you two...

[@portugalitis]

Will try to have a look 👍😁

[@kareneuceda1327]

They use tubing level in Elsalvador. Old school but iv seen it ,it works.

[@portugalitis]

Thats right, and basically nothing to go wrong with it 👍😁

[@NatMCI]

hihihi..... How about planting rice!!! Perfect place for that!!!!

[@portugalitis]

Just need temperatures to go up 🤣👍

[@Rosalinda-tg7yi]

so good xxxx

[@portugalitis]

Thank you 😊

[@petercarbutt3706]

that is lovely stone just an idea check out The Outsider vlog of cutting a sink out of a stone,u have the equipment,look good in your bathroom

[@portugalitis]

That saw is a bit limited for that sort of work 👍

[@carlosvictor8679]

missed those chickens,lol.

[@portugalitis]

Oh please don’t say that 😁

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys.

[@portugalitis]

Our pleasure! Thank you 🙏

[@neutonrenda2303]

Great tool, invented by the Egyptians, fail safe way to get your levels spot on. I first seen it used when our swimming pool was being built, when I was still a teenager, the good old eighties.👍

[@portugalitis]

Simple and effective 😁👍

[@user-jn1ci9yz7d]

I'm no expert, but maybe French drains and grading the soil so it drains away from the gardens. Actually I know nothing of these things but it couldn't hurt to investigate and come up with options.

[@portugalitis]

Every day here is an experiment and we will get it right at the end 👍😁

[@isabelandrademourarodrigue3891]

Provavelmente no verão não haverá água. Seria boa ideia ter reservatórios no terreno para guardar a que cai agora para essa época. Os árabes sabiam fazer isso

[@portugalitis]

We have water all year round, that was not a problem last year 👍

[@pauline-bc-com-missp]

Should have shown what castelo Branco looks like?

[@portugalitis]

Only went to industrial part of it, not much to show there..

[@assuncaomeireles198]

Boa tarde senhor Andrew e Gi excelente vidio. Vejo que tem chovido muito para esses lados os seus campos estao completamente alagados. Adorei aquele expremedor de laranjas por acaso gostava de ter um assim aonde é que Gi comprou? Agradeço muito este vidio que gostei muito. Para a semana já espero por mais. Quando é que a sua casa vai ser construida? GOD BLESS YOU BOTH THANK YOU VERY MUCH🙏🏼🩵🩷 🐕‍🦺🐈🐈‍⬛🐔🐔🐓🐓🐤🐥

[@portugalitis]

Hello, yes there were a lot of rain but hopefully it will be a bit dryer now, juicer I have bought second hand from internet 👍🤗

[@patriciaalv415]

maybe you can plant rice instead of potatoes on the flooded field

[@portugalitis]

It will be very cool at night until april, otherwise we could 🤣😁

[@22spicka]
