Will it be worth it? Renovating an abandoned stone house farm (49)

[@adoniscortereal2666]

... Rural life in the interior of Portugal is quieter, than in the big cities, where everything is faster.... But it has its advantages, where one can better enjoy and appreciate the "little big" things in life. The your property has a lot of potential... Step by step and the dream comes true.... Good work and all the best😉👍

I only found your channel recently and have been watching from the beginning. I know this was quite some time ago, but I thought I’d still comment. The renovated, rebuilt walls are looking amazing! I’m so looking forward to catching up on your videos and seeing how it all turned out!

Love your little padfoot supervisor just waiting to leave a pawprint signature on any fresh concrete 😂 Best of luck with it all guys... Feels so great once you have the roof on...😊

[@sharong8511]

My 21-year-old cat came up the stairs to the side door stepping in the not completely dry stain that had been applied to the cedar boards. He left 7 or 8 perfect paw prints on the vinyl flooring covering the kitchen floor. I love those little prints, even more now that he has passed over the “rainbow bridge.” 🙁

[@evelyngorfram9306]

Happy birthday, Andrea! Everything is coming along nicely & it all looks beautiful. A small thing that you've probably already done; but, when you get a chance, please sharpen your pruners/secateurs. Sharp clean cuts will really help with rooting, & also all around.

If you’ll add some vermiculite in with your potting mix, you won’t have to water them as much. Love y’all’s videos

I commented on April 15th for this one. Dont know how that happened....still watching KH and HF! LOL😂😂😂

Simon is your brother-in-law? How did he learn to build with stone? You are so lucky to have him!! Love the drone shots of the landscape around your home--looks beautiful!

Hi Andrea and Omar...great progress guys...all your hard work is really starting to pay off...looking forward to the roof going on..🤙👍🙏

Just started watching ur videos, u r all working so hard. What a shame about ur little greenhouse, perhaps u can peg the bottom into the ground? 🤞 for the next lot 🥒🥬🥦

Your place is really starting to look very nice. You will be happy when you. Get things further along. It will be rewarding in the end.

Always enjoy your videos, looking forward to your next ones. The tiny house is going to be beautiful. Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@turawolfe2841]

I enjoyed the video!

[@melinda5777]

Hey, tip, if you plant Tomatoes, plant Marigolds beside them. They keep the bugs away. Their pretty, but I think they stink......but it works. I'll take more picks for you.

[@CampOutWest]

Found it sooo calming watching you sew your seeds 🥰 excited to see tour gwrden flourish in futue uplods and now even more excited to start our own 😍

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you guys! I appreciate it. It is a huge source of calmness and enjoyment to me. I’m sure you will find it just as wonderful. It’s not easy and intricate but the learning journey is just as enjoyable as seeing everything grow. Can’t wait to see what you guys do as well ❤️

[@nancibishof6462]

The granny flat you are building for your mother is going to be really nice. What did you dip the cut ends of the lavender in? I hope your lavender does root. Some of it by the granny flat's door would be pretty and provide a beautiful scent.

[@casaMariaPT]

Another great video guys, lots of varied content.I thought things were moving pretty quickly before, I can’t believe how much ground you have covered in such a short time.

[@KnutBluetooth]

2:57 I hope the inspection went well! It's always helpful to have a purrfessional take a look at things :)

[@adamosman7284]

Waryaa Omar!!

[@louisbruzon]

Great progress guys… well done & congrats 👏. I have a question. At 26.31 the drone footage. It seems to show that each gable end of the building is not parallel. The space left for the ridge beam to sit does not look like it will allow for a ridge beam to sit at an angle other than 90 degrees to each gable end. Are the spaces on each wall bigger than the width of the beam to allow for it to sit at an angle on each wall? or do you intend to cut the end of the beam or the walls to allow it to sit at an angle to each wall? I’m so excited to see how it all works out. It’s going to be great I just know it. 👏👏👍

[@mafish7962]

Making good progress. Was the gulam expensive i need one for my new house?

[@mrspeabody3128]

not sure if your carrot seeds were mouldy ....sometimes companies coat tiny seeds(and carrots are very tiny) with something to make it easier to plant them...I had some carrot seeds that were bright blue...also check the back of the packs because some plants grow better if you sow them directly into the place you want them to grow

[@TheIndigoEscape]

No I don’t think so. I think they were just a different variety, I’m not sure to be honest but they all sprouted really well ☺️ I wish I could sow them directly but there is so much land movement at the moment, I want to make sure to finish that work first (pipes, etc) before planting directly.

[@biddyodea3876]

Blue seeds treated with roundup most likely

[@sandrasantos-tv8gm]

The plant you have is " lírios ".I have a lot of colours. I send you the photos in messenger.

[@robertbird3086]

Make sure you dont plant the reg . corn next to the popcorn or ornamental ones. as they will cross polinate with your eating and wont taste good. just a FYI.. Also plant some basil in the area with the tomamtoes. Smile. Ninette Bird.

[@damepasty9203]

Put some weight in the bottom of your seedling greenhouse and that will make it more stable and resistant to being blown over

Thank you Carmen! It was the 2nd of April. 🥰

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

Curious how well do stone walls and earthquakes get along?

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Not so well actually. That’s why it’s a good idea to add foundations and reenforcement when possible. Also have house insurance that covers it. Portugal hasn’t experienced tremors or earthquakes in a while. At the moment the biggest concern is forest fires.

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

@@TheIndigoEscape Yes that's true about the fires. also very scary. Hi I'm starting to look for a place in Portugal. I think I might consider sort of an outdoor living arrangement. Something with a roof but without walls. I wonder if the authorities would approve it as an official address. A campanista sort of abode. Every winter I'd go to Morocco and so skip the colder weather.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

If it’s only land, that may be a bit of a problem as it’s not legal. I know people talk online (some videos, FB groups etc) that it’s not legal and that’s the end of. In reality, it isn’t. People Do it. There are people living here in tents, yurts, caravans and have been for years and everyone is aware of them. Nobody bothers anyone. As long as your neighbours don’t get upset and don’t call the authorities, it’s okay. It’s not ideal because rural lands are surrounded by forest (and the authorities may not know you live there in case of fires) hence why it’s not recommended but people do do it. Only neighbours will then make police/council do something about it. You can get a land with a ruin (that has exemption of habitation license) and be in a temporary structure while you renovate the ruin. If you explain that to the authorities, in the majority of the cases, they are okay with it. In the Algarve, that wouldn’t fly or near the cities but in central, they don’t mind you doing that, in most cases. As long as your neighbours are happy and you add something to the community (renovating a ruin in a neighbourhood does lift the value of the other houses) then you may be okay. Something a lot of people do it’s camp in properties they are interested to have a good feel of the neighbourhood, that’s totally legal to do as long as the owners are aware. Then test the areas. Morocco in the winter sounds awesome. We keep on saying how much we want to drive there. Absolutely love it there

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

@@TheIndigoEscape I should have mentioned that I am an American wanting to get residency. But I suppose everything that you said about being a legal residence would be the sort of legal resident that I would need for the application. Sounds like I should look for land with a ruin on it that has the exemption? Yes definitely come down to Morocco It's so close. And I would imagine the weather is a lot sunnier. You could buy or build a camper van and solar panel on top and drive around and explore the mountains the oceans the deserts.

[@surfreadjumpsleep]

@@TheIndigoEscape actually I guess what I need to do is find something that has a lot of land and a tiny little house on it that counts as a house. To be honest I'd rather live outside but it also rather not spend my time trying to convince someone that living outside is okay. In a central European countries most people have a second country house. Do these exist in Portugal? Typically they are something small with more land than house.

[@melinda5777]

You poor thing. I was talking to the video. Tie down or secure the lightweight green house with rope or something. Now, you can make a six foot squared (6 x 6 ft) raised bed. Fill it with Peat Moss(great for germination and water retention) fertilizer (your sister have chickens?) And potting or topsoil as long as you have the Peat Moss I just use garden or the soil you have in that bag looks great. Mix all 3 up in the 6 x 6 ft bed and then all the seeds that got lost when your greenhouse, well, accident, put the soil w/the seeds just right on top and mix them around. Before you know it, you'll have a SALAD!! YA YA YA. HAHA. But for real, I would and have done it. Last year I got my Zucchini and Summer Squash mixed with my Sweet Potatoes. No Squash or Zucchini....but loads of nice Sweet Potatoes!! Yum yum 😂😂😂 🙏❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵👣👍🎶🎵 Yall are doing such a great job! I want to help so bad! And Teach your Mum and Elf some Southern Slang!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ola Ana! Agora tenho! Tenho umas plantas que meu Vecinha deu. Coração de boi. São muito boas mais para saladas com aceite de Oliva.
