What a wonderful, homely space you have created for your family! Lovely to see everyone working, playing and milling around in it! Can't wait to see the bedrooms and then, of course the BIG BUILD! The sentiment in that song at the beginning about you together as one being better than two is perfect!

[@MMCVIP_Marco]

Happy Sunny Sunday guys. You are not only genuinely entertaining, what you have achieved is nothing short of incredible and you are living proof of living the dream of many in Portugal, wanting to go 'off grid' and build their paradise. Keep smiling and doing what you're doing, your all an inspiration 😉👊🍻🍷🥂

[@Pauline-m9m]

What a lovely opening to your video. A very happy looking home with loads of interaction, conversation, smiles and happy, happy people. What a joy this video was to watch. Pauline, Australia

[@AnneHeyns]

Loved how your daughter made her own lip balm.

[@maudeestrella8196]

You shouldn’t be surprised by all the lovely comments you get; you give your subscribers so much pleasure. We love watching your journey and taking us along with you. Have a great week. 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

[@kathleensabourin556]

Happy Sunday Scotters family❤ It's always a happy day for me when a new video comes out! It definitely feels good to sort out neglected areas. I've been doing a bit of that this week too!! I think your lemon tree may not be getting enough sun to produce a lot of lemons. The good news is if you plant more lemon trees, I think they will have fruit quite soon! I'm looking forward to all the things coming up, garden, chickens, bedrooms in the barndominium and of course the main house! I loved Betsy's lip balm!❤

[@cherimawby9709]

It’s a joy watching your enthusiasm for making a lovely little home. You just get on with all the hard work with a smile and lots of love all around 👍❤️

[@joiejarvis4461]

I love the little temp house. I can’t wait to see the bedrooms. This will be a place for all your visitors to be able to stay after you get the big house . You use such good products even though they are throw sways or finds. Your minds are amazing how you put things together. Your property is beautiful and you are always trying to keep natural. Thank you. Even making lip balm who would think of using natural items from around you. Love it. Blessings on continued journey. I look forward each week to see y’all take care. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Badger sees a lemon and his first thought is ... PERFECTION

[@tarynkriebel319]

Great music

[@barbaradavie150]

Your barn conversion is amazing. Looks so spacious and comfortable. Love it.

[@user-uk8sm4ec3l]

Clearing of the outside space went well and looks beautiful. You two just don't stop, I wish that i had your energy. Cannot wait to see phase two. 🍋🍋

[@lindamesa5122]

That green explosion is magnificent! I live in the Arizona desert! We have some vegetation and trees but nothing like what u have! The midges are hard to cope with but OMG you have a Lemon!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋 The children must be thrilled to have all that space to live in after so many yrs on the bus! You guys are so amazing! I'm so glad the Newby's introduced us to you!! That lip balm is going to be Fab.!!!! ❤❤❤🌸🌼🌷🐸

[@annshanks5862]

Good morning, Scotters family. You accomplished a lot of outdoor cleaning this week. Looks great ! Happy Sunday! 🐸🍋

[@darasannz919]

Wow the first clip showing you're in the barn is just epic... even without the bedrooms yet, it's really working out well for you guys... keep it coming

[@dianeconnors6263]

I love the me memories you bring back with our grown boys getting ready for school so many years ago🥹❤. So nice to see your family work together ❤❤❤ even the dogs ❤.

[@meganborole4201]

Hahaha, your excitement when you find the lemon is so beautiful! “one whole lemon, 100% more than last year!” What an absolutely gorgeous spring day out there and I really enjoyed being taken along for the gardening! And also loved seeing everyone in the morning un the new space you have created. Looks so perfect!

[@knelson5442]

Your opening vignette was a breath of fresh air. My favorite part was Badger waiting all of 6 seconds to let the dog in. So precious. Keep it up. ❤

[@debdeb62065]

Looking cozy and beautiful.

[@dawnfitzgerald2951]

Watching your family all together,doing different activities, was very satisfying. Such a zen spot. And a dish washer to boot🥰. ❤️🇨🇦

[@Bjmc4uk]

You have the most beautiful blue eyes! I know that was probably the first thing Badger noticed about you. I can see why the kids and you guys are happier. The extra space is wonderful!

[@champagne1231]

Happy Sunday everyone

[@susanhirtzel8410]

I appreciate the jovial and positive attitude you two always bring to your videos!😊

[@Aotruba]

Mr. Toad was huge and so cute! 🐸 Yayyy! Phase 2 ! 👍🥰👍

[@TheHavasu_77]

I’m almost all caught up to your current videos, then I’ll have to wait for new videos like everyone else!! Nooooooo!!! 😫😭🫠😂😂😂 The barn is adorable guys, and good job on the clean up!! 💚

[@katibenelli9142]

You make me wish I was young again. And able to do all the creative builds you guys are doing. I use to, but now ehhh not so much. lol. But I love that you are teaching the kids how to make homemade lipbalm! That's so cool. Try soap too. That is pretty easy and fun.

[@Jojo-lf7yo]

Love how you’re kind to the wildlife and all your dogs

[@JudySnyder-dv5ld]

It's so lovely to see your family enjoying your home.

[@ginkodragon]

It is so satisfying to see all of you enjoying the space in the finished areas of your barn house! It is beautiful! I can't wait for your phase 2, bedrooms, and bathroom of your house! Loved that you now have the space to cook, prepare, and eat in your new kitchen! That was a great little project of making lip balm using honey and lemon! Honey, especially raw, unfiltered honey is healing and I'm glad that you have instructed your daughter to use a wooden spoon to handle the honey as metal will destroy the beneficial properties of the honey! Removing all of the stacked wood and debris was a good idea! The spring is a time of growth for the foliage and critters that like to move into the shelter of debris and wood stacks. Everything grows so fast in the spring, but if not cleared, become a fire hazard when it dries. Love your single lemon on your newly discovered lemon tree, but I also thought that I saw a fig tree! Did you know that you can eat the young grape leaves? They are used in Greek cooking to make dolmas, but i have used the young new leaves of my grape vines to cook as just a pot herb. I am amazed at your energy and creativity! What a lot of work just maintaining the land!

[@user-fr2nk7lk2r]

love both of your positive attitude, no matter what presents itself, cute kiddos, and very creative thinking to get a new semi-permanent home. thanks for sharing all your bits and pieces.......

[@cristinareyna799]

Love it all! Please clean the geram area around the barn because of the fire hazard! All this precious work and your family have to be 100% protected. The fires in Portugal can get out of control in the summer. All the best for you guys. ❤

[@paulettebarber7219]

I agree tidying up before starting on more work is so necessary for one’s sanity 😂 This time of year the project just pile up on you. It will be good to have a little home to be able to relax in.

[@jcarlosfonseca3317]

Wonderfull spirit, you amazing, i wish it never ends. Kisses for your lovely family from a portuguese follower😊

[@rosemaryjasper1121]

Great video, liked the funky music! Well a star in the making”beauty with Betsy” hope you’ve got the necessary paperwork and registered it as a web site. It certainly has a ring about it! Betsy did a great job as well! Nice to see you take time off from building projects to do other bits and pieces. It’s very easy to become too focused on building projects, they then seem to take on an”all encompassing” dread! The project seems to grow too important and everything else goes to pot. As my mum used to say, “tidy and children don’t go together, if the place is too tidy then the children aren’t enjoying life!” ❤

[@hilltopvt]

The barn looks amazing! So cozy and beautiful and functional!

[@terryvonberg1290]

Whenever I watch, I think what an adventure, what memories you’ll have to look back on. 🎉 🇿🇦

[@Susan.I]

Your temporary home kitchen came out so very nice!

[@galefrost7404]

Looks amazing. I love that you recycle everything. Wonderful! Such a great space for the family ❤❤

[@Jetta4TDIR]

"Toady mcToad-face" is prolly not the only guest that would find the wood pile comfy, Portugal hosts quite a nice selection of snakes (some venomous)... Point is not to scare you but more to make you aware and to be vigilant when lifting wood or stones and even metal sheeting (roofing). Especially where the kids are involved. Chances are they will want to flee long before they're seen, but there is always chance they get surprised and will appreciate a gentle usher to move on with a broom stick( without harming them of course)

[@KSMCEVOY]

Everything is looking wonderful. Awesome work on the windows. The garden is coming along lovely!

[@54mgtf22]

If this is the ‘barn’, I can’t wait to see the home. Love your work 👍

[@anniebee2962]

Amazing. Look how far u have come in such a short time. Woop woo Onward n upward. 👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@HeatherNaturaly]

Those wood chips will make great weed suppressant mulch for around the base of those olive trees, which just may be a tad too close to your road... WOW what a lovely pile of leaves under that rotting wood! More deliciousness for the compost pile.

[@lynnbfoster]

Absolutely loving the biny tarn house! You guys rock😁👍

[@joannecalcutt6724]

Great strimming song. 😜. So enjoy this family and this channel. ❤❤❤

[@janehodgetts6078]

Breakfast in Ontario -Tea, toast and the Scotters, perfect.

[@celiabonifacio3912]

I would just live in the barn forever, looks so nice 😊

[@lidijabirsa7768]

Me too! 😆

[@carinep.4520]

Beautiful lemon….I agree with you…start planting fruit trees. No need to get overwhelmed and plant 50 of them but I would suggest planting 5 now and then 5 in the Fall and again 5 next Spring and 5 next Fall. Fruit trees take time to mature so once they are planted they do not need a huge amount of care and you will be glad when you see them starting to produce fruits. That’s what we have done here in Chile and after 5 years all the trees are now producing and I am making fig preserves and quince jam as I am watching your video. It will be fabulous to eat them on a winter day. If you don’t start planting them this year, it is one more year without a production of some fruits. It will be exciting for the kids if you get them involved :). I loved the beginning of the video where you can see your family enjoy that new space. I am very happy to hear that the children are doing great at school. Well done everyone.

[@pammcfarland1727]

You sure can accomplish so much in a short time while taking care of three kids.❤😊

[@roo9565]

Love your videos and watching your family make the absolute most out of life. Life is fleeting and you're doing it right 💓

[@JanisTilyard]

Gorgeous half a barndominium 😂❤. Can’t wait for Part Two. 🙌🙌🙌

[@annapower9799]

Great progress. So much to do but you’re staying focused!! Great job reminding people to like and subscribe early and remind again at the end. Can’t wait to watch your subscribers grow. Have a great week Scotters!

[@sandraduffield9481]

You guys have done such a great job on that house I can't wait till Monday and you're doing the other part of the house and a good clean up on the yard everything looks very tidy and your daughter is so cute making her lip bomb good for her you're such a good mom

[@pollyb.4648]

I always say I'm not a clean freak, as long as it's tidy. A mess will drive me crazy too so good job outside!!🎉 Next week Phase Two!!

[@lagringa7518]

Spring has sprung and Phase #2.... can't wait! 🙂

[@dorothyallen3614]

I’m so glad y’all know where all of that stuff is going to be stored while working on this section, bless your hearts 💕. Are you going to weed eat around your barn home too? Great job on the make up, what fun 😂❤. Can’t wait to see your 2nd part of your barn home build.

[@kathleenmouat8499]

Theirs a saying us gardeners use. Best time to plant a fruit tree is yesterday 🤣👍❤️. Your barn set up looks amazing. I have raised four boys through many renovations , and just getting a kitchen sink and plywood counter tops was a wonderful milestone 🤪🙏❤️🇨🇦

[@wiechertginhovenvan8887]

I love the way you both go about things 😊

[@lindabrooks8242]

Your exuberance, and joy is awesome! ❤

[@sonyagair1219]

[@hanneliewiese3477]

Your place looks so warm and great already - well done😊

[@user-hp2il6su8r]

So great to see you all enjoying your new home! Such a fun place

[@selinab8532]

thought you had apple trees down near the river? they needed some TLC, it's been some time since you been down there... how clever making your own lip balm, lovely flavours too; you could try making in bulk & selling a few to replenish your stocks? would be your 1st business adventure? nice idea with extending the kids area, sounds like fun raised beds around your outdoor kitchen would be perfect for vegie gardens, even one in front of the tiny home :)) fill them in with all that leaf matter & all those twigs can't wait til next week thanx for sharing

[@connieperkins5135]

❤❤❤ love watching y’all! Very sweet family❤❤❤

[@rachelfrees1268]

See you and what’s been accomplished. So far you have done an amazing job. Your land, water springs and wild flowers are amazing.❤

[@kellysherrill4224]

Wow!! That turned out awesome!!! Well done!!!

[@arjanvogel6444]

O yeah maybe give your lemon tree some more Sun light by cutting some big branches away 🌞😋

[@knelson5442]

I’m absolutely a novice but next time your lemon tree flowers, you might look into artificially pollenating the flowers. I saw on another show where they artificially pollinated the blooms since they were not getting any bees in that area. So - give the tree sun to bloom and healthy pollenates.

[@hilaryholt3061]

Sitting outside watching your video on my iPad on a beautiful spring day in the south of Portugal! I’m totally with you on the wild flowers! I keep putting off ringing the ploughman to ask him to come and plough our field. 🌼🌿🌸🍀🌺🌱

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys.

[@jacquelinecorreia1049]

Land looks amazing. A lemon!!🍋👏🏼👏🏼 When are you building steps to go to your chicken terrace? I hold my breath for you each time you are at the edge. 😮

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Well done your whole place looks amazing. Love your interaction with each other and your work ethic. Really nice video well done. Hope you have a great summer god bless you and all your family 😊😊😊❤❤❤

[@SuperMrSik]

thank you for another enjoyable video. but I'm afraid your driveway will fall apart again. you will need to lock the smaller stones in place with bigger stones or a log dug into the ground. ideally this is positioned slightly diagonal, so it will divert water of to the side. this will also reduce the risk of ruts forming in the unpaved section.

[@Lucas3055]

Congratulations to you both, you’re amazing, lots of work done

[@ladyofquills]

Aren't you guys going to be super hot up there next to the ceiling in the summer? I love all this work you've done!! Thanks for sharig it!

You have created a wonderful family space. Well done! Will you continue the paved driveway through the gates and to the tiny house and stone house at some point in the future?

[@kerrywhimsey2061]

I do worry about the location of the olive trees. They spread out and can get so big and you have them right next to the road. Not to mention harvesting them will block traffic.

[@victoriamorgan5859]

Hello from 🇦🇺 Melbourne Australia Your property is amazing it's beautiful trees everywhere, so green, the dogs really enjoy it. I want to know if you have adopted the sausage dog because it's always at your house ?? It's as cute as your dog❤❤❤🎉🎉 I'm so glad you are all comfortable in your small temporary small house. Glad to here your kids education is going well, especially the homework , kids need this to get good marks in later grades they won't have problems with finding jobs & perhaps to support mom & dad when you both retire 😅😅😅❤❤🎉 Love your channel because you don't exaggerate anything you are planning to do. You both entertain us every video in reality time it's great . Thank you .❤❤❤❤❤
