It’s not the curtains need to be hemmed, it’s the curtain rod needs to be moved up. That ceiling height is low so chopping into that wall makes it look lower. Put it up as close to the ceiling as possible to give the illusion that the ceiling is higher.

I think having an Otter. Find your lake/pond should make you very proud of yourselves. It helps prove all the hard work you have done has been right. Having wildlife return is an awesome thing. You have improved the land so much since the fire and flooding. I look forward to seeing how much more you have planned. I've been watching you since you were on the boat. ❤❤❤

[@CampOutWest]

Sorry to hear that guys ❤ we started backing up the same thing onto 3 hard drives when we started shooting weddings out of fear of loosing everything for our couples, this way we knew we had 2 back ups and we have continued doing it for our KZbin too. It's quite expensive buying 3 hard drives each time and takes a lot of time to save everything but it's just that added protection 🤞🏻

[@dennisepollyea4246]

Oh wow! Having an otter in your pond is fantastic! Sooooo cool!

[@maryhart637]

When curtains are long it's call "puddling" and is perfectly acceptable❤ Wow, clearing that tree is a huge job!! Love your office...stunning🌈💙🥰

[@Hillbilly007-yd9gu]

Enjoy watching you all working together. Always a job well done.

[@LisaJason-b1b]

Leave the curtains puddle. That’s the name of the style which is so appropriate for this rainy video. It’s ottering amazing 😂!

[@reatreatseclusion9891]

I love the curtains trailing on the floor. Room looks gorgeous xxxx,

[@dennismatthews6660]

A love the tone of the recent episodes. The interaction between the two of you is so supportive of each other.

[@rianahayes84]

So sorry for your recording lost. I hope someone can retrieve it for you. I love how you have organized your office space. You are amazing!

[@celiasnyman2885]

I know it's beyond sad. But all your stories will live on in our memories for sure

[@lesliesChannel-hu8gr]

"Pooling" curtains IS a thing! Looks lovely😊

[@HellyAvard-xt6mz]

Thanks Bea & Theo for another great video. What a team you make! I enjoy watching all your hard work.

[@kevinh.w.crabbe8748]

If necessary whoever has been watching your series from beginning to now probably could send you the process of what you’ve done back to you if you want watching you from Alberta Canada

[@Aggie_vom_Rhein]

I am "otterly" impressed by the wildlife on your property. Sorry for your lost data, hope you can get it solved any time soon.

[@judithparsons1920]

Exactly!!:”Never give up!!” Love you Bea!!

[@digitalgrammy9978]

Sadly, you are not the first KZbinr I watch that has had this happen to them. Remember … tomorrow never comes. You only have today. It’s a hard lesson, but you both have a great attitude about it. It’s just a hiccup in time. Best wishes to you both!

[@sandratweedale2579]

I think that wall sconce needs a dimmer switch. It’s very bright in there. You’re so much fun together. Theo you are a beast!

[@5starliving]

You didn’t lose everything, you have alote of amazing videos here on KZbin to look back on😘👍🏻🥹wow an otter, thats so cool🤩👍🏻❤️

[@carlal9984]

Love your office! I’m glad you decided to position both desks on one side, it makes the room look more spacious. 😊🌷

[@laurascholz7334]

Bee, your blond hair is growing out, reminding us how far you have come. You look so happy know, and I hope you will continue to improve on all fronts. Theo, your excitement is contagious. Nice dest. Theo after you finish every video, put it on a flash drive.

[@MacrobianNomad]

So gutted for you guys losing all that footage I really hope the online community can have a miracle making geek who’s not going to charge something ridiculous like that quote you got. Great progress on the office room renovation. Nice work 👌🏽

[@hilda4114]

Your room turned out beautiful. Everything fits perfectly. And when you sew the table is small enough to put it in front of the window for natural light. AND you have lots of room on the floor to spread out the curtain material. I use my dining room table. Hopefully one day you find a person who can retrieve data from your hard drive - maybe in another country.

[@lorimontcalm9086]

Good thing you have all your KZbin videos that have documented a lot of the trials, tribulations and triumphs over the years. The room looks lovely! Hugs from 🇨🇦

[@callumortiz6723]

I am so sorry for the hard drive loss. Well …. new start. We understand how hard it is to have lost hart work. You guys are amazing.

[@UncleMo2]

You should put the hard drive with a note on it in a time capsule along with other keepsakes somewhere at miracle mountain to be opened many years from now. What a treat & by then a solution to recover the images might be known. It is so great to see all the progress 🙏🤗

[@thizizliz]

It's lovely! An office is a great thing with all the work you two do. Congratulations. The paint color is set off beautifully by all the white.

[@brendahogue5487]

Theo and Bea always knows what to do. May the lord bless and protect you and your Theo and working on the miracle mountain office.

[@paulas_lens]

The view out of that window is so lovely!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

So sorry that you lost your valuable info on your hard drive. All is not lost . Hopefully some computer geek out there can recover it. The office looks great. Fernando makes his presence to show whose boss. You guys rock. All the best. 👍❤👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki

[@planetalien]

You should get yourselves a NAS drive and set up in RAID 1, that way if a drive fails, you have the files mirrored across 2 disks, and replace the failed disk, and it re mirrors itself

[@gerardinehealyminard6984]

Perhaps one of your followers might come up with a solution for the hard drive. It's great to see you so full of life Bea, & the next time I buy from IKEA you might come to Sothern Spain & help me put it together😅❤

[@tammyfleming6428]

The perch will be prolific so no worries about the otter. Most likely he is hunting the goldfish anyway because there’s so much easier to see. What a great job you guys are doing with this property.

[@shirleywest9402]

I can imagine all the creative power coming from you both as you enjoy this wonderful space!!!

[@airenesmiler6624]

You took the loss of data with such humour and good grace. I love how the office turned out.

[@estherrossnewman4261]

I’m sure somebody here can preform magic

[@connieverbeck1110]

Oh how painful to loose your footage. Hoping it will be recovered!! I actually cried when you sawed the massive log. I know you have an abundance, but still Painful! lol. The office is stunning!! Great job!!

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Love the 'evil' clock corner🤣 The office looks flippin' amazing😍

[@carolranes91]

I have an idea I think you should take seriously. Set up a fund for your milling equipment or a Buy me a Coffee type account. We could all give like 5 bucks or more. You have such a great audience we would all love to participate in helping you with that because we know you are so creative you could use the wood for lots of projects! Go for it!

[@cuwest1]

A friend once said, “IKEA should throw in a case of beer with every piece of furniture they sell, because it’ll drive you to drinking by the time you’re finished assembling.” But you two have proved that theory to be wrong. Beautiful office. Excellent decor!

[@mandy5539]

Love the curtains like that, I do that with mine, call it the puddled look😊🩷

[@reneewoywitka3504]

That rain! Reminds me of North Vancouver Canada where I live. November is Rain Month, as most of the time it is raining. Sometimes we can’t see across the street it’s coming down so hard…..😂 Your vids inspire me to investigate my Portuguese roots….

[@Anita-gp1gv]

Hope he and your niece and nephew enjoyed their stay ! Happy new pick up since they left .

[@elizabethseybolt5215]

Time to release the old with your defunct hard drive and go forward into your awesome Miracle Mountain life. Wishing you both the best and thanks for sharing!

[@judyweber9855]

Yep, I have also had this happen, and I am not a KZbinr, just amateur photography nut. Thankfully, I could afford to send it to a specialist and got almost all of the data retrieved. . Lesson learned. Good luck, love your attitude and your videos.

[@theindieprojects]

Really happy to hear you got most of your data back!

[@PegAMurphy]

I'm going to start out on a positive note and say I love the office and the desks & shelving looks great like that....wonderful flow 💖🙂 I am really sorry to hear about y'all losing all of the footage that was on the hard drive 😢 hope y'all have a lovely week and I'm sending positive vibes y'alls way ✨💖✨

[@bamamom2929]

I just love you both such tanasity that you both have and love for everything you go at. Sorry you lost the hard drive.on your computor.

[@colleenrodamer9497]

YEAH RAIN ! LOVE that print u have on the sewing desk so happy for u on getting the office done many blessings from North Texas ❤

[@pattijohnson997]

Cat 🐈 heaven. Torn boxes and paper.

[@brendaw2255]

I love how the room turned out!! I was worried when you were going to be back to back. This gives you each your own area. Someday I hope to have an office/craft room again 😊

[@soniaclarke1171]

Thank you both for yet another video, even when you lost what you previously set out to do. Theo, you are such a gifted man , you are amazing. It is great to see you Bea in such a happy place after all you have been through. Can't wait to see what you did around the pond.

[@patriciapepe3013]

I love what you have done in your new work space. Besides being very functional it is really beautiful.

[@margarethusted5245]

Bea i just love you keep up the happy face your smile tells it all

[@foundfate6931]

You guys definitely need a mill - have you ever considered building a Davinci saw mill? It is of course, a much slower process, but it does work efficiently nonetheless. There are a few bushcraft videos that depict the build (different variations too) of a complete water-run saw mill, well-worth considering on a budget :) I loook forward to every video - have been a fan since your van days... I am always amazed by your energy and syncopation in thought - you are each and both a lovely example of humanity. You inspire. Thank you!

[@kathleenchild]

Lovely and fun video for being last minute. What a team! I personally don’t like curtains dragging on the floor but I’m guessing that a style. We just bought a condo and all the curtains are on the floor and I’m trying to live with it but I’m leaning towards replacing them. You’ll need a name for your otter. How about Oscar? 😅

[@Misty45-kx3bz]

SUGGESTION: hang a lovely large tapestry on the wall behind your desk area. It would also help with the echo in the room (it is a bit hard to understand you). I love the way you have the room arranged now.

[@roberthealey7238]

They do make manual milling attachments for chain saws that aren’t too expensive, you’ll waste a bit more at the planer getting them as exact as a mill but they work for small scale milling. You could try eyeball milling with string line/guide boards but that would only work for 3-4m long cuts max and you’d lose a lot more planing them down. I did this as a kid with uncles and grandpa but their was a lot of waste, vs a proper mill, but beat having to slog entire pines and maples out of the deep forest land. Make sure to use fresh chains if cutting manually for best results.

[@TheHiawatha]

You two are a force of nature!

[@debsprice4362]

What a bummer! Hard lesson learned. Love the office. Looks amazing. Take care you two xx

[@roberthealey7238]

If you have monitors you might want to consider wall mounting them above the desks to give yourself more desk space. I’ve had friends actually mount mini-computers to the back of the wall mount monitors and use wireless keyboard/mouse/trackball/tablet/headsets to get rid of all the wiring on the desks.

[@deborahpray5387]

Love love the Marshall fridge..classic rock❤

[@Anderbender]

I’m an offline/film editor by profession for 35yrs. My advice is……. BackUp Everything!!!! ❤

[@skyeseaborn1170]

Love you two. Hope you can get it all back.❤

[@susanherrmann2938]

I know that puddling curtains are the trend but no one shows what a pain it is when they get sucked up by the vacuum, catch every dust bunny in the room, roll up into the casters of the chair, hide every creepy crawly that gets in...never mind me, I'm a pessimist. Cats love em.

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

Oopppsss!!! Oh well, that just leaves room for new things❤️🐝🤗

[@kathinkadalseg6262]

All your posted videos Are here on KZbin. That is a god thing in The midle of your 🥰🤸🏼‍♂️

[@debbrelph6133]

Theo is amazing with that tractor!! And Bea - wow, so good with the desk!! :)

[@cadence9055]

Unrelated - Bea your hair is super cute! Grow-out sometimes (at least for me) is usually so icky and awkward but I love this look! You could keep it. So cute. ❤

[@eileenmetzkow8475]

Beautiful Office. Great Job on Carving the chair Theo!!! Looks great!!!! A great Conversation Piece. You might want to stain it to protects it from Bugs and the elements!😊😊😊💕💕💕🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@sylviajones4907]

So sad about your lost material! Arghhhh! My cat decided to sleep on my laptop. Yep, overheated. I have a computer guy that i need to contact. Glad you guys are getting the office finished. Thanks for all the time, effort, & angst you two put into your videos.

[@samchapman7513]

Those flowers are very florally 😂 and that clock is definitely evil!!!! You guys are hilarious! That room looks beautiful 🧚‍♀️ This vlog was so much fun xxx

[@maurabradley6484]

Be careful of that chair on wooden floor, mine scratched it badly. It was laminated floor...room looks fab. Lovely to see you doing inside house...

[@andreaamer1183]

Your space looks fabbbbbb🎉. Sorry about your hard drive 😢 great to see you both stoked for projects xx

[@janvas7690]

Bee you’re so lovely! Good luck with building IKEA! We were always so challenged by IKEA building products!

[@eleanorcramer7986]

You nailed the clickbait! Otter was moving like a Hoover around the pond. Herons too can clear a population of fish. Don’t think nets keep otters out. Vibing with nature’s balance on your Miracle Mountain. Thanks for sharing. You are masters at your craft and most all your endeavors . Can’t remember any big blunders accept this back up which you might still retrieve. You prove life goes on with many wins and pure joy.

[@carolranes91]

On the KZbin channel château diaries Stephanie actually found a guy in France who owns all of the equipment for milling! He’s like a tree specialist and she first hired him to thin out her forest around the château and pass for her and then he brought his equipment there and started milling wood Because her cousin is a carpenter and he started doing repairs to the château and they use their own trees! Maybe there’s somebody like that in Portugal that has their own milling equipment that travels around with it on a trailer and you could hire them to do the milling part.

[@alpinegeordie]

Looking good,i have just soundproofed my home studio with those cotton blankets for removals, the grey ones that are 2x1 meters,made some into curtains and hung the rest with spring clamps on the book cases, they are 5 quid each and work great .... from the local big box store. good luck with your Haed drive Bill

[@Solo50plus]

Sorry to hear about the hard drive. I feel you pain, it's my worst nightmare! That's the good thing about having vlogs up on KZbin! The otter!! 😳

[@paulinefreeman9492]

Ive loved this vid, nice to see the inside for a little change ❤❤❤

[@maryellencook9528]

Bummer, Theo. But you and Bee are great at "soldiering on" as you Brits say. Bee, the curtains puddling on the floor can be considered quite chic. Also, using the larger stumps as chairs is brilliant. Maybe make a table top out of rock or even acrylic so that you can sit out with Margo and Matild and drink your coffee or tea. Theo is so creative, I'm sure that he can think of something. Have a blessed week from the Texas Hill Country. 🙏🙏🙏

[@mattbeamer6918]

You can mill your own lumber with a chainsaw jig for making planks. It's obviously rough cut stuff but it can work very well.

[@suz-annemoss6500]

Bee & Theo, you may want to put a plastic mat for under the work chair. We have hardwood floors in our office, and when we had no mat, there was a patch under the chair that damage the finish, and it had to be sanded and finished again. The room does look lovely for your sewing area, and Theo’s editing area, and a yoga area, and then a place for a guest to sleep. Such a beautiful room for so many tasks. Well done!

[@pamelarw58]

That was terrible news about your hard drive etc backing up can be missed by many of us……don’t feel bad it is just another life lesson! At least you keep a sense of humour. 😄 take care! 🤗❤️

[@AlGilby]

We timed it well with the weather, can't believe you have an otter!! ❤❤

[@kathleenlynch5763]

Oh how great .you have a Otter watching that will keep you amused for ages.but hope he doesen't eat all your fish Theo.you could make a few two seater benches with those tree stumps.then position them at random along the pathway on your land .great for a crafty sit down when the walk gets tough.that vision comes by the way from a 78 year old with gammy legs and a stick.but you two lovley people wont need that for a long time.take care 🐹🐹🐹

[@baukjevandenbosch7661]

Lovely your new office! Spacious and organised. As they say here in Portugal ‘Parabéns’.

[@melanierawlings35]

At least some of your stuff is on KZbin, though I know that isn't all of your raw footage but at least it is something. So good to see all of the progress with your office and amazed by the tree!

[@DukeofEarl1961]

Trick I've used with a broken hard drive (not an SSD) is to put it in the freezer for a few hours, then get it out, reconnect to pc and copy off as much as you can before it warms up and maybe fails again. Repeat while you save files.

[@mrsmop1000]

Oh noooo leave the curtains love them like that ❤

[@jangrahame4891]

So sorry for the data loss. So glad for what you managed to post up over the years. May ther be many more to come! ❤

[@Joey-wu5su]

As usual wonderful video❤😊 I still voted for you 2 to get the Montana property But this place is so you 2 much 💕

[@futurekron]

I absolutely love the layout of your room! I love a good-ol-fashioned sewing corner (as someone who's a proud owner of a right proper quilting machine).

[@traceymorgan7961]

Get some boiled eggs and throw them in the pond the otters love em ❤❤❤

[@AnneHeyns]

The office looks very comfy and you going to enjoy being in there every time.♦

[@Rbmc2611]

30” in under 2 days moved tmountains here and took many lives in Tennessee and North Carolina with many buried probably very deeply under mud. Never underestimate the power of water and what it can do praying for the people that were in the path.

Great video! The colours of the trees are so pretty. ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦

[@patriciapoyanestebanez408]

Me encanta veros sonreír y bromear entre vosotros , enhorabuena, lo habéis conseguido 💚

[@michelebushnik2874]

Gosh what a great video!! Congratulations on finishing your office! The tree is down and you already made a bench chair! Enjoy your down time!

[@praiseyethelord7121]

Just like you say "Never Give Up!" The eggs are cracked and just make the omelet! 😉 Add all your favorite toppings and enjoy life. The video is wonderful and you both are a great team.
