Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

"Summer kitchen" is a must in the Mediterranean, thanks to whoever blessed you with that cooker. You're slowly turning into real homesteaders, I can imagine once you have enough time to focus all your energy into it, it will be so abundant!!!

[@francinesnow4786]

Bea, you are so lucky to have such a talented man to make these units for you. Way to go.

[@magdamundt9483]

Loved to see this video. Because I don't know if you have too few "party" moments, or you just keep them to yourselves. Because it's absolutely important that you fête your amazing accomplishments properly. With good food, candles, flowers, good music. Watching the sunset and your cats having fun, cuddling and talking about the amazing things you accomplished and unique things you experienced. You do that often, I hope??

[@fionagrows1848]

There is no joy quite like the joy of picking the veg that you have grown and making it into a meal for your family! You’ve definitely got “the bug” Bee. Growing food= happiness and joy!

[@theindieprojects]

Thanks Fiona!

[@tammyhall8495]

Bee please don’t listen to the people who hate themselves with their negative opinions. Your beautiful smile and your beautiful self is enjoyable in every video. I enjoy listening to you and watching all your videos that you and Theo put out. Much ❤️❤️ to the 2 of you.

[@happycamper4329]

Great idea with the outdoor kitchen, but... please re-think having a pizza oven directly above the gas bottle from a safety perspective. If you do end up enclosing the gas bottle, I would suggest that it be enclosed in those crates, so the slits act as an airflow. Congrats to both of you on a fantastic build. 👏👏👏

[@suecooper3016]

NOTHING better than growing & eating your own food. Enjoy xx

[@cellularenvios2339]

Simplicity Is The Key To Brilliance

Tip to help Fernando ease down on vet trip. You can buy a spray ( usually at vets ) that capms cats down. Spray it on a fabric which you cover the cage with he is in. Wonderful project you guys! Inspiring. The best of luck to you! 💪❤️

[@relocatetoItaly]

The summer kitchen is the best thing you've done, makes complete sense

[@medusa729]

YUM! Looks good Bea. Nothing better than fresh veggies plucked from your own garden.

The food that you made yourself from your own veg looked absolutely incredible 😍😍😍

[@pamelarw58]

I noticed the goats are so obedient! Great job with outside kitchen….no fumes inside & Spring looks incredible on your land! Your vlogs bring JOY to your subscribers especially during a Pandemic & cost of living due to many factors, thank u Bee & Theo! I think that is first time I have seen u eating ….your own food that u grew yum! 🤗😍🇦🇺🥂

[@sandyschmalhofer5672]

Bea, you are a beautiful person inside and outside. You have a beautiful face and a contagious smile. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't. You and Theo are the most honest and authentic couple I have seen on KZbin. I have enjoyed every moment of your journey. Sandy from Lancaster Pennsylvania, USA

[@sari4079]

What a lovely outdoor kitchen you have now! That'll be so handy when it gets really hot. Glad to see your garden is doing well, Bee, and you can enjoy the results of your work. You're a natural!

[@seanpjkennedy]

I think you need to change the introduction to The Indie Projects because that's not an old barn any more. It's a dream home, with beautifully crafted floors (nice scribing, Bee) and beautifully pointed walls and mezzanine. I can't wait to see your next project. You guys are skilled artisans.

[@theindieprojects]

You’re right! We’ve been talking about it for a while but keep forgetting 😂

[@susanfrary6880]

Seeing you two so supportive of each other while building a forever home worthy of envy makes me super happy!

[@ToniAdventures]

Oh that b-roll of the farm and wild flowers and the tractor… so very beautiful!!!

Just an advice, be careful with the sun directly shining on the gas bottle it can let loose the tube of the connection and waste the full tank, it already happened two times with my family and I'm not sure if it's safe to put a pizza oven next to it also! Just be careful guys! ❤️ Love your videos!

[@ahamatmabrahman]

I was also thinking there should be a moveable screen to block the sun and keep the area cool/dark. '' But isn't it all coming together beatifully ? All the animals are happy and well cared for These guys have done an amazing job !

[@kathleencarter308]

I was thinking the same thing about the pizza oven next to the gas bottle it would be better the other side like Bee said in the first place , great work guys , love everything you are doing xxxx

This was a fantastic episode in your lives, setting up the outdoor cooking space and then to top it all eating a meal mostly grown by you own hands is a massive achievement. Bee please promise me one thing, if you feel a bit low in the future, try to remember this episode x. Well done you two x.

[@susanamberg3960]

Oh how great to be able to cook a meal outside. My most favorite part of this video is that lovely little pea tendril sticking out of your salad.

It tasted lovely!

Bea, your floral print blouse is beautiful. It goes so well with the gorgeous natural background. You and Theo are so blessed with all the beautiful wildflowers on your property.

There will always be work to do on the property, it never ends, however the two of you have accomplished so much and have made a beautiful tiny home. There will always be time for pockets of peace here and there as you continue to develop your dream place.

Yep, I think we all would have loved to join you for that wonderful lunch. Another project ticked off the list! Hugs from 🇨🇦

Outdoor kitchen will sure come in handy for preserving fruits, canning veggies and jelly making. Just needs an outdoor sink.

[@MissJen007]

That meal looks delish! You guys are my favourite people, I am so glad things seem to be going smoothly now for you both

[@sanjanamareddy7480]

You should build like a small railing on the porch on the side of your outdoor kitchen, I think it makes it look cozy and enclosed

[@moragebbin5483]

Thank you for another very enjoyable vlog; and as well as looking forward to seeing your projects and tasks,( in some part of every vlog) I also so enjoy seeing glimpses of your land with the various 'outhouses', the chickens and the chicken coup, the beautiful wild flowers, the bees and butterflies, the birds singing, your wells and water areas, and your fruit trees; and watching the goats , your cats playing in the sun, Theo driving the tractor and tilling the soil or cutting the grass or strimming and Bea enjoying her plants; seeing her planting them, picking them and then cooking and eating them ( while relaxing in the sun), is just so relaxing and so enjoyable. I wish there was time for it all😊😊

[@callileahrizzuto2290]

Hi Bea and Theo! So good to see the newly installed Outdoor Kitchen. I love cooking outdoors year-round, even in the Winter. Though I prefer a Wood Fire Cookpit. I really love grilling meats and veggies and even baking over a Fire. And you have discovered the joy of doing the same. You are going to get a LOT of use out of your Veranda. 🙂

[@PeggyLeeSebeni]

I noticed as Theo was mowing around the garden that you have a lot of dandelions. I am curious if you have thought to harvest your dandelions root for tea? It has excellent health benefits. The leaves are also edible with a light peppery flavor & are highly nutritious. I love the outdoor kitchen. This is in my book of dreams.

[@sheilajoseph9953]

How great to reuse materials and recycle things to make something else. Bea, your cooking looks tasty and what better than being self sufficient as much as possible. Love ❤ to both.

[@melflip6542]

Dang Bea you got me wanting a salad right now… that lettuce and broccoli looks so fresh and sounded so crisp when you cut into it!!!! That shot of the plated salad was the best!!! You go girl!!!

Congratulations on your beautiful farm. It looks like a lot of work, but very rewarding. I would like to suggest that Theo build a kitchen sink with running water.

[@colly1952]

I Enjoy seeing all you're doing to make your life and home the best place for you. I also love to watch your land and its beauty. Love your animals! You should try to find more of them to save, and to help keep your land free of weeds and mowed, lol.

[@onemorchatykathy]

A very inspiring video. I’m so happy for you’ll! You’re living the dream, instead of just dreaming!

[@karen5912]

It was awesome to see Bee cutting the veggies from the garden and then cooking outside. I wonder if Theo could build a small or narrow partition that would protect the cooking area from the elements of the weather. Maybe something that is clear and attachable to the roof so Bee could still have a beautiful view of the outside area. I know, more work, but there is so much more to do and it's wonderful!

[@ciprianoneves7246]

You are looking great Bee, and you look happy.

[@sth.777]

Theo, if you tape a plastic bottle to your saw's sawdust output, you could save that and use it for animal bedding, etc. - if you do enough wood work, that is! Just a thought - using resources to their fullest potential is environmentally friendly, as you already know! 😊

[@loril.mangold8160]

You might get a disposable dog mess pad to put in the basket when Fernando needs to travel. We had a cat that did that the last time he had been at the vet (he was only getting a flea med checkup) and a disposable mat would have been a godsend!

[@donnahawkins3135]

Keep up the hard work you two are amazing

Dandelions are a sign that your soil is lacking calcium. Garden lime (calcium carbonate) can help rectify the imbalance, but you'd only really need it in in-ground beds (unless you used just regular native soil in the planter boxes, then they'll need it too).

Hi guys just a tip. You need to put a screen to block the wind on your stove flame. It will save your gas when cooking in the wind
