Did moving the yurt fix all our problems?

[@babsoneverything3060]

The new view is just incredible. The new space is altogether a major blessing for your family.

[@RLucas-dc9yq]

Lea, & Maarten: Thanks for sharing. Great Job, Nice Improvements. Glad to hear about your 5 Year Plans! Peace, Long Life, & Health to All.

[@Kelleena1on1]

Wow, it’s so beautiful and everyone looks like their growing so lovely. What a beautiful home you have I can’t wait to see what the weather is like up there. Thanks again again for all your hard work and sharing with us. Happy holidays.

[@rnggall9640]

What a lovely upgrade! So nice to start to know your future home site and to add details as you have time.

[@emveecee]

Wonderful progress! I’m happy to see you with your kitchen so close to the yurt! Wonderful view, and wishing you and your family all the best. 👍

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

It's been such an improvement!

[@barbaradavie150]

What a beautiful location. The views are amazing. Glad to see the progress.

[@suepittel426]

The move didn't solve all of your problems, but it solved many of them. It was a lot of very hard work. Thank you for another great video.

[@isabelle2340]

Well done! Yes …so very nice setting and what an astonishing view. 🙏💕 So hard worker you are 🥰

[@dannybrown1955]

Fair play to you! You have a lot of energy and enthusiasm!

[@srantoniomatos]

Looks great. After all the work and troubles it feels good to look and live in something built by self.

[@erlindaenriquez4452]

Wow, enjoy your new build kitchen... Looking forward to your new garden❤️❤️❤️

[@chriswiedeman490]

Please consider painting the exposed edge of OSB at the entrance. It will make the material las far longer.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

I did paint it and we'll put a strip of wood over it to seal it even more :)

[@KarinHopkins-m1d]

Yes paint it seal somehow !!!

[@elainekaufman2264]

Always glad to see your progress. What a million dollar view!

[@skaraborgcraft]

You look very happy! Organizing Martin seems to bring you great joy! (English humour). Already had minus and snow up North. Thats a great perspective from up there.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Hope you're staying warm up there! It's been getting colder here as well, no frost yet though

[@skaraborgcraft]

@@ourportuguesehomestead Yes, thankyou. I made sure to obtain more firewood this winter, last February i was looking at my wooden furniture....... stay cosy.

[@lizwilson6633]

It's a smashing upgrade and I'm sure you will be happier up there. Once you have everything beside you (veggie garden etc), just think how much easier it will be for you. Well done both of you and if course to your friends who helped along the way. Day by day you'll see a difference in the surrounding area and once you have tidied up and sorted paths etc it will be just perfect. Hope you are all looking forward to the holiday celebrations

[@jennyjohnson9012]

Wow it looks beautiful after all your hard work! That view is wonderful . Love it!

[@johnsonr9]

You certainly did a great job locating and planning your homestead.

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

I'm so curious to see how everything settles out after you've made adjustments over the next year. I love how it's coming together. It sounds like you have been flat-out working on this, so now you need to take some time to decompress and find your balance again. The views are lovely.

[@MariaSameiro-t3w]

Que bom ter voltado a publicar um video. Adoro o seu sorriso e o das criancas felizes, tanto quando estao na horta como a fazer os vossos cozinhados. Ainda bem que voltou.

[@faithrada]

I like the idea of a Five Year plan. Step by step you continue to make it all happen. So happy for you all. 👏 🙏

[@LindaSchreiber]

Your new seet-up is lovely!!! So nice to see you all..

[@janicedelp2775]

Martin and Lea! I am so happy for you all now that you are moved to your dream area. And I love everything. The views are amazing! I know it was so hard, moving always is. I can't wait to see your gardens. Can you still use the old gardens down the hill? I think I would. I'm happy for your chickens. What thrilled me the most were your happy smiles. I haven't been visiting you much, but I am sorry for that, but I will be checking up on you again to enjoy the updates. Take care, and many blessings are sent your way! Janice from Arkansas USA

It looks great where you are now - well worth all the work I think☺

[@joyguthrie964]

Thank you for the update. The new set up looks wonderful. The view is incredible!

[@fritzmusic]

It's always a good thing to reassess/reorganize things from observational things you made in the past that serve you no longer or are inefficient to your own personal natural flow state. That giddy smile while dishwasher was working is palpable. Glad you got your homestead back in another form of order and hopefully relieves your pain points until the next revision, which always happens. I'd highly suggest you put screening around areas you would rather flies not land on everything. Screening is super cheap. On the front porch of your kitchen build, putting any sort of screening in the area will reduce overall temps in the dog days of summer and depending on if you use black screen or white screen, you get a certain level of privacy with it as well from distant lookey-loos if that's even a consideration. I had a buddy who had a noticeably "cool porch" during summer where he had these small water hoses with outlets installed above the screening and "misting" tips aimed at the screening. In the dog days of summer, it was a very comfortable consideration. Don't know how hot it gets there for you but that's a suggestion as well.

[@sgrvtl7183]

You Two are the real deal.....I applaud you for starting over....your relocation is coming together nicely ~💚 and I have seen Lea SMILE more in this video than I have in ALL the videos I have watched (over two years now) and that makes me very happy to see such a pretty smile!! (from S. California 74y/o Grama) 💚

Looks great guys!

[@sandrawray542]

I love your new set up , it looks so homey.... you guys are awesome!

[@timkirkpatrick9155]

For chickens the electric net fencing is the way to go. It is movable and cheap and does deter predators. If you have a raprtors bird netting protects su pollos! Remember, chickens fly! Shade your water tank, also!

[@graniteonion6799]

[@liesbethvissia8878]

Zo heerlijk om jullie gelachen…😂uuuh ja ga jij eerst maar praten zegt Maarten 😂 Wat een geweldige keuken en yurt,. Prachtig

[@Annazelfvoorzienendleven]

Ja een heleboel werk, maar het is een prachtig plekje en het wordt als het allemaal klaar is weer mooi. Leuk die hergebruikte planken tegen de nieuwe keuken.

[@JaneHufford]

I like open cabinets, they look great!

[@xianvox22]

Instead of a new pump, consider an intermediary IBC tote halfway up the hill. Then you can pump from the well to the middle, before a final step from the middle to the top.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Our pump is too big to move that much, so we’d need to buy another pump either way.

[@allisonridgeway4449]

Wow an amazing new set up you guys have created. The views are spectacular!

[@chuckmixon2175]

Great attitude going to cover over the yurt door. Great better set up. 😎😎

You might want to put a piece of fencing over the top. My chickens flew up onto my garage roof, and that's quite high. Lol.

[@venturingout4235]

I am happy for you all. You worked hard with help. I hope it won't be long before you get your water pump working the way you want it. Hopefully you can get a greenhouse to get it out of your sitting area. It all takes time but it would be nice if you got sponsored for a greenhouse.Doing great.

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Thanks! We have a greenhouse next to our original garden area, you can see it in some of my videos from the spring. We just need to level an area here on top to put it.

[@clearingland]

Very good job on that kitchen area. Your practical skills have teally vome a long way and must be a reluef yo have all yhe equipment working as it should be.

[@katefinnegan8129]

Beautiful views.

[@lindamaldonado6807]

Yes, very much worth it! Much more practical and convenient! 😊

[@tomhirschel8524]

Fantastic job . Well done!

[@ErichPhillips-jq7lv]

Why not put a intermediate tank between the well and your water tank. I know you will need another pump but it will cut down on the power consumption. Looks great what you have achieved over the summer.

[@alanknight7867]

Hi Ref. Water pumping problem --- what if you had a water tank half way up the hill --- could you them pump for 10 mins plus twice i.e. well to tank & then Tank to Tank . Alan

[@ourportuguesehomestead]

Well then we need to buy an extra pump as well...

[@Expatkiwipeter]

No, but you would need to move the pump. So long since that video I have no idea if that's viable or not. Some would take minutes to move, but I've forgotten what you have​@@ourportuguesehomestead

[@Har-ts5yt]

Gaaf hoor! Ziet er prachtig uit en wat een view!! Ik vroeg we af of er ook een bliksemafleider nodig is, maar die hebben jullie vast wel. 😊😊

[@heatherhall3452]

It’s called a galley kitchen, I like the white, although it’s more to clean, raw timber is more forgiving. The man who dug out your space could have given you a bit more space, is that something you can extend later ? Them bunk beds aren’t going to last much longer the rate the kiddies are growing up!

I lived in a student room of a similar size for a year, at the end I did get a little claustrophobic! But for a kitchen the size is fine :)
