what are the costs up until now?

[@NKBobcat]

Thank you for taking the time to talk about yourself Bee. We all care, and it makes us extremely happy to see you in the videos again! I've suffered depression for 40 years and work on it daily. I never think of it as I make my life too busy and happy to let it set in.

[@coby6417]

🌟👍🍀💐

[@educationiskeytoallthings6976]

Exactly. I loved hearing everything. I love you kids. I look forward to your videos. Now I know why. You are my daughters age zone so I love that.

[@lynnewilley235]

I used to live in Newmarket, Suffolk, England. We have mail delivery to our home at 7 am and again at 1 pm. I wonder if in Portugal you have mail delivery to your home or do you have to get it in a village?

[@michaelwerner3430]

Thanks for bringing bup depression, I've suffered from it for years.

[@nickytanton107]

Lynne I know there are issues with the postal system in Portugal, my daughter had things sent back to the UK. BUT she doesn't have a post box although she has a PO box in Castelo Branco.

[@anetzband1383]

This wasn't just a Q&A. It also was such a good demonstration of your incredible videography abilities (if that's even the right word to use). Theo and Bee, I just love watching these. Thank you so much for letting us share your lives.

[@chessbride1784]

Thanks to Ricky, „the subscriber“, for taking time to film all the work and helping Theo and Bee!!! ! And additionally for helping out, carrying heavy things into theyr new Home👍🏻😊

[@mitzimckay7934]

I’m so glad someone asked the question about the railing. I feel so much better now. 😂🤣 Loved the story about Fernando. What sweet kitties you have. Enjoy your trip away!

[@lesleymansfield57]

This is one of the best Q & A’s I’ve watched on KZbin, I was totally mesmerised and well entertained … A lot of thought went into making this video and it was perfect 👍

[@peterska63]

I love the way you formatted this video with the 2 of you moving around from here to there answering questions so that we could see the property and the barn. I'm so happy that you're not going to house your goats in that hot box for the summer. You both are so kind, I couldn't imagine that you would expect them to be in the horse trailer. And you're vegetarian. How wonderful to hear. I hope you're taking us to Iceland with you. Sending lots of love.

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

That was one of the best Q&A's I've ever watched.🤗😍

[@brigitteshantieaglemeare4350]

Yes yes, I thought the same as I was watching it. I'm normally not that keen on Q&A, but this was great!

[@DragonHeartTree]

You guys are the cutest couple on the internet. Just seem so real. It’s been fun to watch you do this project.

[@Metathronos]

That hole above the stove should definitely be used by an exhaust for a kitchen hood. You want all that moisture, smoke, grease, etc to be vented out instead of staying in the house or covering the wood.

[@chrystalbliske9512]

So glad to hear from you both again! Excellent Q and A! I wanted to say that even though you're in the public eye doesn't mean that you ever need to explain yourself. Your both amazing and doing so well!

[@hopebolton4327]

This!! ❤️

[@debbieorr5772]

A prism glass in the hole with sunshine coming thru would be neat❣️

[@MaddogCapt11]

Bee, you don't need to explain or give any details about your depression. I think I can say that we are all just happy that you are doing better. Bon voyage on your trip to Iceland. I'm a world away in Alabama.

[@beulahforrest4779]

I agree, Bee does not hve to explain her Depression to us, especially whn we sufferers ourselves! Frm:- South Africa

[@elizabethmusso5946]

Regarding the cactus: look up nopales, the pads of the cactus. They’re edible as well.

[@Robin-tr5me]

My husband and I watch your wonderful videos with our grandchildren. We are so thankful for the openness and honesty about depression and the ups and downs of life. We loved this video answering alot of things we have wondered and talked about at the dinner table LOL. You are beautiful people and so kind and we wish you safe and wonderful travels to Iceland! Much love from Tennessee US

[@terrynewell8968]

I've always wanted a summer kitchen, you have the perfect place for it. A wood cook stove outside. You haven't lived until you've had baked goods from a wood stove and with it being so warm in Portugal you'd keep the heat outside! I think you'd love it! ❤️

[@beverlyhendricks9456]

Germany has a low power van/ portable ac that mat work for you. Whatever u get think about “soft start” that helps eliminate the power surge when unit starts up. Perhaps check out the solar set up for you tubers “life Uncontained “.

[@hivolco151]

Beautifully done Q & A video! I love how many of your answers were right where you could Show the item in question! So creative! The Well is beautiful and I do not remember seeing it before.... The trees and lovely grass on your property show the reason you were attracted to it in the first place, to say nothing of the barn that is quickly becoming a very cozy home! I am not sure I have ever known a couple that works so well together and appear to agree on the artistic style so well. Thank you for sharing everything you bring to us! :)

[@nspires1]

Do you ever regret not winning the property in Alaska? I personally think you're better off in Portugal. (I also live in Portugal, so I may be biased). 😜 But your property also seems WAY more habitable than the other. Alaska would be nice to visit, and a beautiful place to do a reality show. But I think long term living that far off the beaten track would have been pretty intense.

[@suzannehartzenberg4944]

The holes in the stone wall would look nice if you find 2 glass bottles or jars and cut them and join the 2 together end to end and fit then in the whole still giving you light. You can trial it before you decide.

[@MadgazelleFilms]

I feel 100 times better about the loft now that you said you're going to build a rail! :) Everything looks beautiful, guys - hope your trip to Iceland was fantastic!

[@SeanMacLennan]

I am glad you are not putting the solar panels on the roof. You put so much effort into the roof and the solar panels would look very out of place.

[@serenashaw-q3y]

I agree

[@barbibutton9619]

The best cats I've ever had, have been rescues. So glad you rescued that beautiful baby. Thoroughly enjoyed the video btw! 🌺🌷🌸💕

[@EvansvilleJill]

Great video. Have you considered getting a guard donkey? My granddad use to say he wouldn't trade his guard donkey for ten guard dogs. And they are so sweet too.

[@cynthiairish497]

I rarely comment on videos unless I am not feeling shy. I have watched you guys starting just before you found your property.through all of lifes ups, downs, trials and tribulations. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. I love all your fur and feathered babies and all of their antics. Last but not least your beautiful tiny home, I LOVE IT !!! Love you guys too.

[@fondoftheduh]

I would totally use the hole over the stove and put in a stove hood. Remove cooking odors, smoke, heat.

[@barbibutton9619]

I think your ideas and vision for the mezzanine access are spectacular. Center - YES!! LOVE YOUR STYLE. 🌺🌷🌸💕

[@SunflowerHeather]

I love that you guys are high school sweethearts that married. My brother and Sister-in-law are too. They are in their 50s now and a happily married team. 🌻💪💌💛

[@lindastoll6987]

I love hearing about your life. Thank you for sharing. You both are inspirational.

[@maggieodwyer]

LOVE YOU TWO:). I am 65 and and watch multiple youtubers but you are my absolute fave. I live in the US. Can't wait til you come back here. I love your pets/ family...goats, chick's and cats. I have never responded to a youtube video before. I think this might go thru. Not sure.

[@batterbury4477]

I loved this- having a chance to hang with you while you tell me your thinking - Theo and Bea - it is really a privilege to be allowed into your life. Thank you for sharing this day with me - honestly I feel like you gave me an amazing afternoon touring your property. And just want to say -even through you are 5000 miles? away - I can feel how happy you are ! If only you could capture the glow you have - you wouldn't need solar panels at all :)

[@skullwan1]

One more question😀 (1) are you going to build cabinets under your range and fridge so your countertop will be a little higher?

[@0HARE]

It’s such a joy spending some time with you folks. Aside from your intelligence and industriousness, you both are just SO charming! Also, thank you so much for rescuing little Mr. Fernando. He is absolutely delightful. All The Best

[@zenandink3531]

I look forward to these videos SO MUCH!!! Thank you for making them-love to get a glimpse of your lives, your land, your animals, your garden!-and your amazing home!!!💕

[@101life9]

Having trucks are like having extra arms and legs, muscles and friends. Great idea. Any outdoor pizza oven in the plan 😋😀? Have a great trip. Travel safe 😍💖

[@deniseclark1349]

I really enjoyed your q&a not just sitting in front of the camera so a different and wonderful way to engage

[@terijohnson3110]

This was great and I love the way you filmed, going back and forth, each answering questions, as you walked around you property💕

[@glendahamm5530]

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU BOTH THAT YOU HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT AND OUTSTANDING JOB CONVERTING THE BARN INTO YOUR HOME !!!!YOU HAVE DONE AN EXCELLENT JOB ON IT, AND I LOVE 💘💘 IT !!!! SENDING YOU LOVE FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS !! HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME IN ICELAND !!!! 💕💕😘😘🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@janine7418]

Oh Bea, I am celiac as well and at 65 I remember when the only gf bread was literally a brick, LOL! There are so many rescipies out now.

[@tommcallister3660]

That was a great Q & A I really liked having you both wandering all over the property answering the questions🙂 Most Q & A's are quite boring yours was not 👍

[@ginam3379]

Bea, here is a great recipe for gluten-free rolls that have that nice “bread” texture and are so easy. Brazilian Cheese Bread 1 egg 1/4 cup olive oil 2/3 milk (nut/oat milks work) 1.5 cup tapioca flour 1/2 cup cheddar cheese 1/2 tsp salt Preheat oven to 400F. Grease a muffin pan. Combine all ingredients in a blender, pulse until well blended, scraping down the sides as needed. Pour into the muffin, divide evenly between all. Bake for about 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes, serve immediately. 🙂

[@jans3133]

Sounds yummy!

[@furyan9382]

You are lovely guys. So well done for your achievements! You deserve to go on Netflix/Prime.. Such a great informative & quality content.

[@sgrvtl7183]

Nature, sunshine, gardening, movement are essential for our health!

[@patriciapratley6773]

Thank you for sharing your progress with us. I love watching what you are getting up to. Your enthusiasm, creativity and sheer hard work is hugely impressive. And, Bee, thank you for sharing a brief insight into your personal journey with depression. It is absolutely brilliant to see you happy. But you shouldn’t feel any pressure to share anything with your followers. Just seeing you both happy and healthy is all we need x

[@dandial3733]

My wife suggested that you could hang al crystal in that small hole in the wall. As the sun comes through, it will project rainbows around the home.

[@bevtrue6937]

That sounds cool also.

[@kathleenomalley7838]

I had an elderly cat an introduced a 6 wk old puppy to the cat, the puppy bonded to my eldery cat. The elderly cat was 9 lbs and was the Queen, the Staffordshire dog was submissive to the cat to their dying days

[@Beegee1952]

Thanks for answering all the questions. I feel like you guys are part of my extended family and love that you share with all of us!

[@jdeane9442]

Very entertaining to listen to you both answering questions about your lifestyle. Thanks for sharing.

[@trishrynn5693]

Hi from Delaware,US…I ove watching such a lovely vibrant couple who’s dreams are fun. Keep it up and God Bless.

[@maggiegregg5533]

So enjoyed the information you shared in this video. You are both such hard workers! Happy that you can finally “relax” into the home and environment that you have created. ❤️❤️❤️. Anxious to hear about your adventures in Iceland. (Maggie)

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Little by Little things start to take shape guys👍👍 It's been a ride watching you guys. You did all the work. We watched and advised through our comments. It will be interesting, what your barn and land will look like a year from now. Bee, you are amazing and Theo, you are determined and incredible, Harriet and I want to say "Thank You" for taking us along. Sending you lots of love💖💖 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

[@Mary-uh1vr]

Hi Bee, it’s so wonderful to see you so happy 😁 I too have suffered from major depression for most of my life and unfortunately Covid has not helped, but you seem to have pulled through it well and it’s very encouraging, thanks again for a wonderful video and I’m looking forward to seeing the next one🙏🏽😻♥️

[@bobbiemooser7417]

I love, love, LOVE your videos! I am amazed that you are just finishing most of your home and you are leaving! But you both really DO need a vacation. Have a great time. Keep the videos coming so we can follow your trip.

[@MissJen007]

I can imagine all the apple pies you will bake in that kitchen with your beautiful apples

[@theindieprojects]

100%!! Can’t wait 🙌

[@marjorieschulz6658]

And orange marmalade to spread on the awesome gluten free bread.

[@marcellae3999]

Thank you Theo and Bea for sharing your lives with us. Love you guys ❤️

[@susancollado5290]

💕ENJOY ICELAND💕You should get yourselves a Dehydrator then any food you can dry & store for later use💕Dried apples & fruits are great to snack on & it means you’ll always have plenty of produce that might be seasonal💕

[@alexandrastevens8892]

It's great when other people ask the questions that I'm sure lots of us are thinking about. I think all important areas where dealt with, I'm always glad your animals are so well cared for and happy. Your so right Bee depression sadly is not curable but can with good support be lived with, I'm so glad that you recognised when it was becoming a bigger issue and you reached out for professional help. It's really good to see you in a better place Enjoy your holiday it will be absolutely amazing 👏

[@XXXBUTLER]

Most Q&A videos I’ve seen are somewhat boring because they just sit in one spot , read and answer questions. BUT y’all have a really good time with it and make it fun for the viewers. BEST Q&A video EVER. I hesitated even watching once I realized it was a Q&A due to all the other types I’ve seen are long and drawn out but you grabbed my attention and kept it the entire time.

[@XXXBUTLER]

From the southern United States 🇺🇸 Tennessee How y’all’s doing?

[@nickytanton107]

I agree 👍

[@lorimontcalm9086]

Thanks for the update!! There are only so many hours in the day!! You've accomplished so much, yet there is always more to do!! Enjoy your Iceland venture. Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@NickyDunn]

Having my allotment helped my mental health so much. Great video. Love this Q&A. Always great content. Thank you for sharing. I hope you are both enjoying your trip. Your pictures on Instagram look amazing. Take care.

[@_._moonstoned_._]

This was the BEST Q&A! so fun!

[@alenescoblete5540]

Great video! Many of these questions were things I had thought about but never asked. It would be great if you did this periodically.

[@AURPH79]

Enjoyed all of the Q & A. I started following you at the beginning of this project and now will always watch whatever you are doing. Much respect for your skills, style and personalities. (Not to mention production value. Gold star there!)

[@1szera]

Followed you For Ever and loved this video! My developing appreciation and ... could it be 'love' of Portugal has totally surprised me!! All the best ... always🙏🏻❤🙏🏻

[@bethdumont9020]

I'm in Northern Australia. I have rooftop solar - 6 kWh. 24 panels. But no battery - I'm grid feed. I run air-conditioning, a pool filter and a washer/dryer combo unit. My last power bill was a $49 credit!. During a Northern Australia summer!. My house is also well insulated. I find that I don't need the Ac during the day, I can get by on fans with open doors & windows. Even some nights I can do sans ac, just the fan. The biggest cost with solar is if you want battery storage for nights/cloudy days.

[@janine7418]

You might consider looking into a guard donkey or two.

[@joantrotter3005]

My sister is running llamas with her flock. I had suggested a donkey too, but apparently the llamas are working.

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Your videos are so uplifting thank u both So much going on it’s a joy to watch 💕💕

[@melinayorke7462]

I love your vlogs and I am always excited about your plans. I’m really interested in your landscaping, I LOVE your property. It truly warms my heart to see Bea standing in her kitchen space. You both need and deserve that wonderful space. A long time ago I heard the saying that an army marches on its stomach. And I believe that any work that needs doing is manageable if you’re well rested and well fed. Have a wonderful time in the frozen north😁🤪😻

[@olddaphon]

i had depression for 8 years now, came on after my triple bypass. i find that my garden fixes everything and in the winter i work on my garden tractors. winter is the hard time for me. love and prayers for the both of you.

[@janemsxrayspecs9843]

At last!!!! I've been wondering about that hole in the wall for over a year 😊

[@areleesdelites1]

Its a privilege to be on this journey with you both, thank k you for letting us into your lives, and I can't wait to see Bee baking, I love to bake also, stay safe ,stay blessed👍❤

[@nogarlicplease]

I really enjoy your videos. You two are a lovely couple with such pure joy in living. This is only a suggestion : : : have you thought of naming your home ? I seems to me that the Barn is quite insignificant when you step into the rustic beauty you have created. It takes my breath away to see all your creative ideas and mastery in the incredible home you have made. I think it would be awesome to rename your home to a much more fitting name as it certainly is not a barn anymore. 🏡🌞🛋

[@marydurgin5654]

I see the hole where the sun set light comes in is just above the stove and that would be a perfect place to vent the cooking orders. It would be nice to make it Esthetically pleasing. I know keeping your place fresh would be wonderful! I am genuinely so happy for you. You have done a fabulous job together on building your home. The whole place looks so peaceful and welcoming.

[@mariearce8021]

I commend you for sharing such personal things and answering so many questions with so many people. I suspect as one gets older this won't be the perfect set up but I'm sure you will enjoy it while you can. Best of luck.

[@sleeplessonterra9845]

You two are an inspiration. I love to see the progress and enthusiasm. Love from Canada🌿

[@doreenzahra1719]

Very proud of you Bee you are lucky you have a great husband allso your precious animals to me you both are a beautifull couple and living your dreams i suffer with depression to some days i cannt do this anymore but then i am good for a length of time keep being happy love you both Australia xx

[@dianefrench9128]

Thank you for such a GREAT Q&A. You guys are simply the best speakers and you pull us in with your enthusiasm. I love your place and you have created such a beautiful home , I see it added to down the road in the same style to be a SPECTACULAR mission STYLE. If that’s a style in Portugal. I just learned to bake artesian bread. Gluten free is tricky so prepare to practice a lot. ❤️

[@loislewis9900]

Great progress on everything. You two really get things done. Have the goats started playing on the teeter-totter? What have the cats been up to? Love your idea for the upper bannister and central stairs-ladder. This place of yours will be Tiny Home jewel when done. God bless you two.

[@EvansvilleJill]

I love Furnando! So glad you have him. I've never had a successful fostering. I always fall head over heels in love.

[@skytechbits]

Thanks so much for sharing everything. It is super cool to learn what people are doing in different parts of the world. I love your farm and home. Enjoy your trip to Iceland. I hope you visit the hot springs there too.

[@chanchoyling4919]

Have been curious about your meals! Would be interesting to see your creativity being expanded to cooking/baking/preserving your land/garden produce

[@danbraun3780]

Thanks for answering questions... very interesting. I'd still like to see a diagram or drone shot of your whole land and see where your home, goats, chickens, outhouse/shower, etc. are located relative to each other. It's hard to get a feel for how far your home is from your garden, from your chickens, etc.

[@tammyhalcomb6440]

Hi guys I love your videos...your my favorite. I wanted to share with you about my solar system. I'm a 56 year old single female who did a lot of research. I wanted to try living off grid in Florida. It worked and I had an air conditioner, fridge, microwave," limited use" only when it was sunny or had plenty of battery power. But it worked great!! I used the 3000 growatt all in one system. I paid about $700 for that it works amazing...highly recommend it. It is capable of allowing my generator to charge the batteries if need be. But most of the time I didnt have to. I had six 320 watt solar panels that kept my system toped off. I had a total of 8 solar panels. The other two typed off my portable eco deltas. One panel for each delta. It worked great as I had one in my camper and one in the cabin. They are only about $800 and could run a blow dryer, microwave, pretty much whatever I needed. Also I wired a 30 amp plug on my cabin to plug my RV into. This system would run my window air conditioning and my RV air conditioning. If it was sunny...no problem. Of course the batteries is where the expense was. I had three 100 amp hour lithium plug and use. That was $2600 all together I paid about $6000 U.S. The batteries are where to put your money. That will make the most difference for you. Great to see you guys doing so well. God Bless You all ..I'm praying for you both and your animals.

[@janetwhite9046]

The both of you are great for my mental health. Thank you for being you.

[@maryedwards4118]

Loved, loved, loved this video! Have fun in Iceland!

[@MamaVee50]

So many questions answered! One suggestion is to elevate that wee refrigerator. Getting down on the floor on hands and knees to see what’s in the back gets harder and more annoying as you get older. Love all your projects. 🌺

[@denisecafferky2248]

A lovely informative vlog. Thank you. Enjoy Iceland x

[@JGwhiz47]

Bee, I think it's a wonderful idea to do a video on how you have dealt with depression and mental health. It's a world wide issue that effects millions of people and not all deal with it the same way. Your experience and and insight just may help someone. Have fun on your trip and I look forward to your next video.

[@deborahwhite2339]

Have a great trip to Iceland. I was there many years ago during the month of July. It was fabulous.

[@hamimahatan3325]

[@bevtrue6937]

I always so look forward to your videos. You have been my favorite from even the v-dub days. Worst? Maybe when you were broken into in Spain. Or when Bee got hit by depression. Was really worried about you. Best...perhaps the Bears seen from the shelters in (I forget what country) hard to pick a "best"....so many.

[@annar6430]

Thanks Theo and Bee. You could power a 5 gallon water machine (delivers boiling, room temp or chilled ) for purified water. Awesome. Enjoy Iceland

[@truckerdaddy-akajohninqueb4793]

Of course it is. If Theo and Bee did it, we know it's top notch

[@theindieprojects]
