You guys should be less hard on yourself. Remember, the beauty and rustic nature of these old buildings lies in the imperfections. Not everything should be square and level. Best of luck

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Ahhhh Miranda! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means a lot, really honest. Thank you for enjoying this video, I did pour my heart onto it and took me a while to make so it means so much for people to enjoy our videos. It really took me down memory lane and was so surprised about how much we did and how every little thing made us so happy.

[@debbiefine2756]

I've followed you from the beginning. I have been amazed at your ability to work together and that you have not given in to any of the challenges. That says alot about your caricature and you life's goal.😂❤. Not many people can say that. We let so many things get in our way. Love you guys!

Your last video showed up as a suggested video. Really enjoyed getting caught up on your journey so far. Best of luck!

[@teepeeX]

You two have an incredible work ethic. I have loved watching you both create a home for yourselves and mum. Beautiful piece of land, and so much potential for just about anything. Well done. Thankyou Jackery for being a leading sponsor for many 😊

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Thank you Teepee! It has been quite a trip all this time here!

[@amandatopson5757]

Hi Andrea and Omar - thanks for sharing your journey!

[@lyndaf.6329]

I've enjoyed every single episode up to now and it's amazing to see how far you've come in such a short time. Putting your progress into a series of videos is a great idea and I look forward to the next one !

[@cruzangirl007]

Me Too! 🙏🏾💖💐

[@goingboldaciousforchrist]

Congratulations on your progress! I love watching you grow as homesteaders and humans as you go through this process. Keep up the great work.

[@lovealwaysmom]

I'm a big fan of before and afters. Both in others' lives and mine. It takes a special relationship to work side by side on a hugh project such as yours. To have a community helping each other must be wonderful. I'm looking forward to seeing your dreams come true.

[@rebekahdane5382]

Even though I've seen every video, this was amazing to look back on and remember how far you've come! Well done you guys!

[@samanthabond9607]

Great journey back in time, incredible to see how far you’ve come ❤

[@ShoresofGitcheGumee]

This was so interesting to me and I am sure, to many others. I love the approach you guys take to every challenge and frustration. Your self-discipline, commitment and positive attitude are to be commended. Looking forward to what's ahead! Love and prayers to you all!

[@geoffgreen5662]

The window and stone wall on mom's place is gorgeous. Perfect spot to talk about the Jackery.

I have enjoyed your content so much. So many design challenges with so many different materials. Excellent progress! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more. Cheers from Canada.

[@truvision1958]

Loved watching the process again as you alway miss something…..well done!

[@Glotglot]

Wow! This is back-breaking labor, doing weed root removal by hand, doing all the concrete and woodwork with simple tools, and hard work! I cant imagine how hard this all is. You two are amazing!

[@jenadidio6536]

Great job! I’m surprised you don’t have a few hundred thousand subscribers! Love you guys!

[@silvanaandrade1644]

This man works 😊 Cooking, cleaning, building 😊 well done .. it is.rare in this days❤

[@harrietlivengood6793]

You’ve both take on a HUGE project. I’ve seen you take on some tremendous challenges. I’m looking forward to seeing your next project. Good luck to you both as you continue to build your dreams.

[@melinda5777]

Hey y'all! I loved this video format! I know it was for a whole year, i hope to see it for the next years! Include the English house renovation, that is particularly in my heart for what y'all did for me! And i had know idea of your talents. A friend of the family told me, you have talented friends😂! I just love y'all and was thinking about y'all yesterday. Y'all really have accomplished a lot more than you even think!! The Jackerys look pretty good. I have seen y'all use it/them all the time. Something like that would bee brilliant for this island life! Every time the wind blows to hard, (not counting Hurricanes), the power is out!! Sometimes they, the Town, will cut it off early before a Hurricanes or Tropical Storms incase a power pole falls or a transformer blows. That way it reduces the risk of fires. Out here, if one house catches fire, you can believe 3-4 are going to burn too because of the breeze or wind. We have very strick fire rules too, like Portugal!!! I need to get me a Solar Generator. Gas ones you hear all night long and there least likley to get stolen bc you can keep them in your house and run the panels outside. STAY SAFE. XX. 🙏❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹⛵👣🤙🤗

[@anamagalhaes7571]

Qual central de energia será aconselhável para poder usar numa máquina de lavar roupa de 9 kg? Quantos painéis solares portáteis precisarei? Muito obrigada pela ajuda e parabéns pelo vosso trabalho

[@gailbenjamin5137]

You guys have come so far? That little charger would be perfect for my mom's c-pap if the power went out. Stay awsome❤

[@ruthconstantino6861]

What a look back at your amazing 1st year! 💖

[@NancyEwing-o2g]

I started watching year two -never saw year one- so watching this was enjoyable to see your beginning efforts!

[@pamthorburnart]

Love watching you guys working so hard to make your vision come true. Love the Japanese wood burning technique too.

[@MS-jj9hm]

Great progress in your project. 🎉

[@MS-jj9hm]

You are working very hard and I really enjoy watching your show and your progress but what I really appreciate about you is respecting your mother and building her house first. This is really respectful and valuable nowadays. Have a wonderful day and thank you for respecting and helping your mother ❤

[@atravelingboy7995]

Great job on your progress, definitely an inspiration to myself and my family; we moved to central Portugal last year and are loving it 😊

So nice to see your progress so far..... lots more to go!

[@tatoute1]

you may use some of the land to grow Miscantus, and install a granular storve. This may provide you heat during winter.

Oranges only become sweet once there have been a couple of heavy overnight frosts whilst the oranges are hanging on the tree. Without the frost cycle they stay bitter/sour. ( I live in an orange growing district in SE Australia with a similar climate to Portugal)

[@relocatetoItaly]

those are seville oranges very sour, and bitter but good for making bitter seville marmalade

[@robinprice6879]

Just watched my first of your videos and became a new subscriber. I really enjoyed watching the build of your new outdoor space. I bet it’ll come in really handy. And really like the new work bench with the badass new/used vice

[@veraoliveira5059]

Great job. Congratulations.

[@KevinCullen]

What an amazing adventure so far! This is my introduction to your channel, I've subscribed, and will be going back and watching every video from the beginning. You brought tears to my eyes, seeing what you achieved together. What an amazing team you two are, so much accomplished. Even the rain coming right at the start of the roof tiling was helpful in it's own way, Mother Nature allowing you to know things were being placed correctly and functionally. I hope you continue to thrive and share this joyous path you have chosen in life, far in advance of completion and how you both live life in Portugal. Look forward to getting to know your neighbors, the cadence of your village, being brought along for bbqs virtually, learning how to make fig jam through watching your content and all the other wonderful things that make like a pleasure to explore. Felicidades e muito amor, da Irlanda.

[@craigyoung7590]

Great stuff just the memories together are priceless... One thing to remember when building especially structural... Nails are flexible they bend with shrinking of timber and general setting and structural movement screws just snap off then your structure loses integrity...

[@susanriverione7437]

I enjoy your ongoing videos so much! Thank you for the update. Yes to Jackery!

[@ladyjustice5505]

Great work you two! What a team. It looks great❤

Great work! Congruatulations from Romania.

[@StCreed]

Those water levels seem nice in theory but they can be incredibly finicky and imprecise if you're not very careful. Personally I'm sticking to a large level (1m, 3m) for most cases. That 1mm deviation will be compensated by ground movement and wood change over time anyway.

[@StCreed]

Should sugi ban would also be my first choice for weather protection if I had to redo my garden fence.

[@mikestambersky4750]

I’ve stumbled across the channel and have been hooked seeing the older dwellings in that amazing country watching you guys learn things across the way. I wish I could be doing the same thing. You guys keep up the great work!!!!

You are learning so much while building your new home. Thankyou for sharing your journey with all of us.

[@RebeccaSenge-ko9tx]

OMG the cable tie in the temp shower...❤😂...i was feeling really incompetent when i did same...im not alone...❤❤

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Haha. There is no reason to splash on something temporary which by the way was temporary for 2 years. It’s amazing the solutions you can find to just not spend money haha

[@FrankieOffGrid]

Absolutely loved this video and seeing all that you did in the first year. The charring of the wood is so stunning. Beautifully put together and can’t wait to see a recap of year two 😊 xxx

[@annie1626]

Absolutely stunning what you have achieved, and all the things you have learnt along the way. I know that because I saw the early steps, and you couldn't have got where you are now without learning so much. Here's wishing you an even better fourth year - you've earned it! Um forte abraço aos dos!

[@polgarauk5606]

Just finished the final video on my week long binge of your channel. I like to go back to the beginning when I find a new channel and get to know you properly 😊 Awesome video's, great progress and I look forward to seeing more 😊

Hi Indigo Escape, great to find your channel especially after sharing a BBQ with yourself with mutual friends Iain and talking of similar things & myself being in a similar position in same county buying a renovation. Good luck looks great! One more new subscriber 😊

Any chance that really sour citrus is Seville Oranges? They are generally used for making marmalade, not for eating fresh.

[@nancysweigart4123]

I'm enjoying the ride. Thank you for sharing.

[@billiebowman6225]

Really enjoyed seeing all your hard work

[@maranathashalom9402]

Local legend has it, the real estate agent after selling this dumpsterfire of a house ran through the streets screaming "They bought, they bought it, my God, I can't believe they bought it!!!" Property is amazing though and I can definitely see your aspirations! Good luck and God bless you!

[@TheIndigoEscape]

Nuno is actually a family friend now and my sister's boss, she got a job with the same agency we bought the house from. A estate agent also earns exactly the same commission flat rate of 3,000 Euros for any property below 100K. We are really aware of the housing market here and did plenty of research. Not only on the actual market but also how things work (laws lawyers, housing market, estate agency fees, etc) After looking at how much property has gone through the roof in this country (in our area alone it went up 25% in a year), we are even happier for our luck finding this property which would easily cost 45K now.

[@maranathashalom9402]

@@TheIndigoEscape Yeah... Portugal has become VERY popular in the last 6 years. I was looking at little Fincas in Spain and similar properties in Portugal 10 years ago and the prices have at least qunitupled since... Glad you made the jump in time! Good luck! I highly recommend you watching Kirsten Dirksen's video "Homstead Paradise: got barren land, boosted it at a profit", that video contains Mark Shepard, he talks about restoratation agriculture. Basically he manages this huge plot of land by only growing stuff that worked in that area for hundreds of years etc., would work for your land great too, it's a minimal work effort system. Also interesting are traditional European hotbeds, bees etc.... :D Go wild, have fun!
