Thank you Harriet! Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to you too! 🎄🎄

Simon is so talented and has the patience of a saint…oh my Lord I was holding my breath then…well done Simon that took some falangoring….thers a lot of science goes into building those walls Omar the drawers look fantastic…im sure the rest of the cabinates will be just as good…

Merry Christmas! God Jul! 🎄🎁

[@rianakoen5782]

I could just watch Simon work on the house. I’m in awe of this man single handedly(mostly) building the house. Simon should have had a KZbin channel on just building the house

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you! Simon’s work is amazing, and we’re glad you enjoy it. Running a channel takes a lot behind the scenes-editing, planning, and more-but we love sharing his craftsmanship with you!

[@rianakoen5782]

We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year 🥂🎄🌟🍀👍💐

[@AlanHough-p1w]

Simon is a master craftsman and you can tell he enjoys working with stone. The wall's are looking beautiful and not forgetting both your own work in the kitchen 😊

[@brianfitch9030]

Big thumbs up to Simon, skill and persistence.

[@elisaortiz5827]

Simon’s work is beyond amazing. It feels as if he was building his own house. He has spent so many hours dedicated to building the house well and correctly for the period. A jewel of a man; an artist. ❤

[@WendyNCBlue]

Omar is doing an amazing job. Sometimes you do have to walk away and go back.

[@paulag1109]

Simon is so patient and calm. Watching him work so diligently on building these stone walls is so inspiring. I never realized how labour intensive a job a stone wall is to build. Also the skill involved, wow. The cupboard doors are looking so great. Awesome job Omar ❤

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thanks Paula, very laborious indeed!

[@margiemistretta8885]

I think heath is abbreviation for heather you could try to take cuttings off tips you can put in greenhouse

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

I think the stone walls are a work of art, and Simon is Michelangelo! Now we know why it took thousands of men to build a pyramid! May you and your family enjoy a peaceful and joyous holiday. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you Abigail! We are very lucky to ahve Simon involved and home to be beautiful! Thank you Merry Christmas and HNY to you too!

[@SandraH-i7h]

Boy, the memories that are attached to the creation and placement of each of those boulders! Not to mention blood, sweat and tears. It’s amazing that Simon doesn’t have more injuries! The cabinets are looking great. Btw.. your beef dish is very similar to Beef bourguignon. Except the beer! 😊 Merry Christmas to all!🎄🎉🎅🧑‍🎄

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Yes! I would agree on the Beef bourguignon! Also a delicious dish. Merry Christmas and HNY!

[@knelson5442]

Omar your cabinet skills (especially drawers) could be a side gig. They look amazing.

BOM NATAL para Andrea e Omar, mais Simon e mamã. Da portuguesa em Sintra.

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Obrigada Ana, Boas festas e feliz Ano Novo! Sinta debe ser muito bonito durante o Natal

Simon needs a hand truck.😮

[@sammie44]

Bom dia e boas festas, Andreia, Omar e Mom. 😊 Great work as usual in your house. We’re also doing renovations! 😬 Very hectic situation here at the moment. 😆 Omar is funny. Lol You are doing very well, fantastic progress and accomplishment, indeed! The decorations and the Christmas tree look lovely! Did you not want to chop down a real tree? I remember decades ago, as a child, spending Christmas in Portugal, up north in Minho, going into the forest with cousins, inside a wooden wagon, pulled by a cow, to chop our pine tree and collect moss for the nativity scene. Fond memories. You are creating your own wonderful memories too! Desejo um Feliz Natal para vós! 🎄 🌟 Sam e Pedro 🇨🇦

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Hey Sam thank you for your message. We did chop a real one a while ago but as I have a fake tree already, might as well use it. I would probably prefer one day to plant a proper pine tree close ish to the house and decorate rhat so we don't have to chop one every year. MAybe one in a pot that could plant later. best of luck with your current renovations and make sure to have a break to avoid burn out! Thank you! Merry Christmas and Happy new Year to you too! 🎄🎄

[@martinwelsford1353]

Simon's stonework is of the highest quality. It is a joy to behold. The cupboards in the kitchen are very well done and the finished product is useful but attractive

Will you make something with the oranges on the ground?

Hello beautiful people and fur animals Wishing you all A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎉❤ Wow what an amazing year 2024 has been, with all the progress that's been made on your land etc, I've fully enjoyed everything that's happened and watching your beautiful home/outbuildings change and develop. Simon's stonework is impeccable is a real pleasure to watch, and within no time at all the new kitchen and your new bedroom will look like that too has been stood there for over a hundred + years. I've enjoyed watching you and your mum working your magic on your garden again this year 🎉and seeing it spring back to life and it bare fruit/vegetables/flowers and again for yet another summer season. I've also enjoyed watching you and Omar make bespoke wardrobe/shelving to keep everything in its place in your bedroom, and watching Omar making bespoke kitchen cupboards/drawers etc, really making the most out of the spare room in your tiny kitchen and making it look beautiful as well practical. And I and can't wait to see what you have instal for 2025. Especially seeing the stone building develop more. Your working trip to (my home land) England etc. Take care guys! ❤❤🎉🎉😊😊

Simon is one hell of a stone mason and his work is beautiful like a beautiful painted picture and Omar has made a lovely kitchen those cabinets and draw fronts are amazing. Let alone your camera work and garden. Imagine how they had to haul those big stone blocks building the castles etc long ago, poor Simon and Omar you got those lovely stone blocks up there and they are beautiful.Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a very blessed, healthy, prosperous New year 2025 and look forward to seeing you and your antics next year. Thank you for sharing everything you have done this year, and look forward to seeing what you do next year. Enjoy your rest off over the Christmas season and Simon too. Till next year.

[@r.salyer8179]

Either Simon is a Master Stone Mason, or at heart a boy who loves to arrange rocks in mud 😀 I'd say the former. Omar is becoming a great woodworker too. Isn't it wonderful how when you do something over and over, you get better at it? Videos too ❤ Practice does make perfect. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

The orange tree is an ornamental one. It gives the worst oranges you can image so they arent edible. Maybe for marmalade they could be used but I really doubt it.

Simon and Omar did good working together placing that rock. Two heads and double the muscles made it possible. You are advancing at every turn. Kitchen is almost done! Wish I could make those big sliding drawers like Omar, buying them it's too expensive, and in my space, none would be the right size. Have a Merry and Blessed Christmas Omar and Andrea! Same to the whole family. Have a safe trip.
