We do some more progress in our stone house renovation. Building more of the stone walls and the concrete block. We plant some more plants and become more ambitious with our crops. Andrea tries to add some more fixtures into the tiny home but unfortunately gets into some challenges and tries to over come them!

  • It's going to be beautiful - can't wait to see it finished. Big cheer for Simon! Andrea, the garden is really coming along thanks to you and your mum, and let's not forget Omar, earning the money to pay for the build. Wishing you much love and happiness.
  • Andrea....the bathroom cabinet doors look great...better than most ikea packs... be 🎉proud of yourself..
  • Your flowers are beautiful! The corn looks good. Corn usually grows quickly. Idea: if you put your courgettes in the food processor, put them in zip lock bags - 8 ounces per bag - then throw them in the freezer. During the winter, you'll have enough to make a sweet bread, we call it zucchini bread, which is lovely to have with tea or toasted for breakfast. Do the same with carrots and make carrot bread. Yummy!

    That small kitchen cabinet and extra counter space is a game changer for your daily life! You are doing so many new things and as you said you will have a chance to use these skills again. What a gorgeous life you are creating together.

    Don't be embarrassed. You're learning and that's a good thing. Carpentry is hard and all these YouTube channels that never show mistakes aren't real. Be authentic and keep it real. That's my suggestion. Love the channel and and don't get discouraged.

    I really enjoy watching your progress each week. Simon is working hard and it's so great to see you spending such quality working time with your mom, Andrea.
  • Simon’s right, as long as it looks straight, what does it matter? Onwards & upwards! 😊
  • @rhondadorey1723
    Andrea I'm very impressed with your building skills, so don't berate yourself over small imperfections. You're doing an amazing job of sharing the build. How wonderful it will be to know you both played a major role in creating your dream home. Give yourself a huge pat on the back!😊👍🇨🇦
  • Two little matching knobs on the little bathroom cupboard … measured carefully to be level and it will be perfect ❤️ The garden looks amazing.. your mum looks so very happy there. Simon is still a genius.. And you , dear Andrea are amazing. Sending love to you all🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

    wow, everything is coming up nicely!!!! Good job everyone!!!!!!

    When harvesting carrots. If you push them down before you try to pull them out, it loosens the soil around the carrot and it is much easier to pull them out.
  • @SusanZiegler
    Very well done, Adrea! I assembled two very large, flat pack (not Ikea) cupboards decades ago. One is fine, the other - well I can get the doors to close, but they are definitely not square. I have lived with that for over 20 years. It's fine. You are just practicing for your real kitchen!
  • @izzy1949
    Oh that sounds amazing with the interior wall in stone… it will be so pretty…I love watching Simon work he is brilliant… oh look how pretty the garden looks and very busy….i love corvettes sliced and fried in garlic butter with black pepper…that’s called a plumb Simon… my dad used it to hang wallpaper straight don’t be to hard on yourself you have learnt so much in this journeys…one day at a time my lovely…I think you did very well with those doors… I loved the video and loved seeing your mum she’s such a hard worker that is were you get your work ethics and love watching Simon do the stone work and you can now turn your hand to most things…I love the kitchen…Omar will be very proud of you ❤

    The outside stone wall/ facing looks very nice! You are a GREAT job despite all the little setbacks.
  • What a wonderful legacy your multi generation family are making. Well done, beautiful work.
  • Simons a real workhorse..1 man crew. Well done with the doors Andrea. Your Mom fits in real well
