@@TheIndigoEscape thank you

[@Grannysinthehouse]

Please don't pay attention to negative comments. Everyone always does it their way and how they want it to look. It is beautiful. Great Job!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you ❤️

[@brittawrolson5936]

Working with minimal tools and budget is not easy, but you soldiered on and have achieved great results. Having mom, sister, and brother in law nearby is a blessing as well. Simon’s skills and his willingness to teach and help you is invaluable. Omar has done very well indeed while still working to earn income. Not everyone is that ambitious! Great job everyone!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you very much for your comment! There has been times when we have thought to ourselves: “my goodness what have we done?!” But all in all we think it was a really good decision to come here plus having family is such a great blessing specially when they can be involved. We are incredibly lucky and blessed. We have all the confidence this will be a beautiful home in the future.

[@havvashenol6777]

Wow Simon is a true master in everything he does his work is simply beautiful

[@lieuwina]

Wow, Simon did so much in those four months alone. Simon that was incredible. Simon really takes his time and the quality of his work is exceptional. He takes pride in the finish and what he delivers. Your mom is adorable and so appreciative of what Simon, you and Omar have built. Well done every one. Looking back at this video Andrea, Omar and Simon just shows how far you guys have come in these last few months and the land is looking beautiful, you cleared so much and I thank you all for taking us on your adventure and I am enjoying the ride. Have a lovely week end.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

It was amazing. It was that time when we already knew mum was coming so while we were packing up the UK, he was here organising.

[@Rebeca-sd1md]

Andrea, you're such a great daughter. It was great to see your mum so happy with her room ❤❤❤

[@TheIndigoEscape]

You are so kind

[@howardgilmour8464]

The scale and scope of the project is mind bending. I assumed that a building in such condition could be 'beyond repair', but your skill, hard work, vision and perseverence has shown that this isnt the case! What an achievement! Maximum kudos to you all

[@lapsedluddite3381]

It is good to be reminded of the skill and hard work that you all put in to creating this lovely space, thank you for this reminder, well done all! Simon is truly a master craftsman, everything he builds is done with such precision and meticulous attention to detail. He is a real gem, a rare find in this day and age!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you for enjoying it. I truly loved making this video and it was great to see how far we have come. Without Simon we would be so behind and nowhere near with the same finishings.

[@susannemcmahon6093]

You all work so hard .so lucky to have Simon's help also .great work .love what you are doing

[@CarrollDyer-xj8dh]

What an absolutely beautiful build.Loving the use of old skills and traditional products. You all should be very proud of your achievements. Your mum is a very lucky lady. So sorry for you loss. X

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you Carrol for your condolences. Yes we are very lucky we can build this with the family. Everyone has a job and does what skills they can apply. I think it’s important to always do things within your limit. This last year mum and I have been doing the garden so we can grow even bigger crops next year!

[@bryansarty3821]

I usually do not enjoy timelapse episodes of renovations and builds, especially if we had followed the progress from all the previous episodes. But, this one was very enjoyable and we watched it all from beginning to end. Such a nice gift to your mother Andrea. Her smile is her gift back to you, Omar and Simon. Speaking of Simon, what a true craftsman! Will he available for hire next spring to help us out? We'll have a project in the area.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thanks Bryan! That means a lot to me! I completely understand why someone who has been following us for a while may not enjoy it as its like seeing it allover again so this comment makes my day! About Simon's availability, maybe. Send me an email to [e-mail] with more details about your reno. We try to keep Simon as much as possible as I think it would be truly difficult to get any close to his craftsmanship.

[@bryansarty3821]

@@TheIndigoEscape Well, I think that is well deserved. It takes a quite a bit of your time and effort to put something like this together and not making it boring. 🥱 😆 Good editing and good tunes to go along with it. I understand why you guys want to hang on to Simon as much as you can. Aside from being family, you can tell that he really enjoys his craft. He cares. We’re still currently in Canada but moving this fall. I’ll send you an email tomorrow. Saúde! Boa noite.

May the next year bring equally exciting progress! God bless Simon for his expertise and willingness to help make your dream a reality. Your mum has made wonderful contributions too. The garden is really taking shape. I look forward to seeing your efforts for the next year.

[@bobbrown5529]

Truly an amazing build . The Bathroom looks awesome . It amazes me the amount of people who take on these build jobs , either rebuilding a home from scratch or repairs , to doing up a boat . They do all this with little or no experience in any of the building trades . But they do make comment , that they do refer to You Tube . The end results speak for themselves . Stunning work , yes there are a few hick cup along the way , but that's part of the fun . I wish you all well and look forward to the finished HOME . Cheers from Australia .

[@TheIndigoEscape]

That you Bob! We at the beginning did many things ourselves like the tiny house but then realised quickly that it would be better to have someone onboard that is way more experienced than us so that’s how Simon got involved. Otherwise, we would have made many mistakes and lost a lot of money fixing our mistakes. So I’m quite glad we made that decision. 🥰

Very lovely and Simon is an excellent craftsman with attention to detail. The painting is of an expert quality by someone who understands the process. I love the wooden doors and the sills.

[@Hummingbirder1]

Also: so nice to get this compilation! I found you just a few months ago, and haven't had time to go back to all the long format updates, so I never got to the "middle" videos, suddenly your mom just lived in this nice finished tiny house/room. Simon is a beast and I can't help but be impressed with his stonemason-ship. Or whatever the correct term is, I'm from Sweden... You and Omar sure put in the work, when you can, and learn when you cannot (from the start). Your piece of Portugal is shaping up nicely, and after the hard work you sure deserve it :-)

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you for your comment. We did wanted to do a lot of things ourselves at the beginning but it is so much better having someone who knows what they are doing and then get them to do it while we can do other DIY projects, plumbing and electrics. I think if we tried to do more ourselves, we wouldn't be where we are in the project. Likely also, taking things down if they weren't done correctly which its a waste of time, money and materials. I have done a new playlist which may make it easier to follow the project :)

It's fun to see the timelapse, I was reminded where the gate went that used to open to the courtyard! I personally love a gated courtyard (although adding it back may not be in your overall design!) and got a little disoriented to the layout of the ruin after it was removed! Sometimes I wish there was a time lapse of all the new building in my town so I could remember how it has changed over the years.
