When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago. When is the second best time to plant one? Now. If you want an avocado tree, it only takes about a day to go to the plant nursery, buy the tree, and plant it. If you wait a year or two till the interior renovations are done, you will delay the maturity of the tree and fruit harvest from it by that amount.

My best friend is white as is his whole family. He has a black partner and a beautiful mixed-race daughter. We all live well and race isn't an issue at all. Does racism exist in Portugal? Of course, as it does in the rest of the world, but way less than in other European countries towards black people, imo. If they want to move to Portugal, racism will not be a problem.

Very happy for you guys! May your family live a happy prosperous life in Portugal. I have one comment on the renovation plans though. Personally I’d keep the downstairs kitchen, open it up to the living room and make the upstairs kitchen the 3rd room. I think you’ll want the kitchen and living room to be on the same floor while the rooms on a separate floor away from the living room noises and the sounds from upstairs. Also having a ground level kitchen is better for when you bring groceries - you won’t need to carry them all the way to the first floor. Good luck!

Our Rich Journey I am a home builder here in the US but I have ambitions towards retiring and building in Portugal so it would be great information to know. Thanks!

[@Monacanthus]

There are big box stores eg Leroy Merlin, great trades and fantastic tile stores etc.

Andrew it would be great, yes. Renovation here in USA is very risky with un regulated chemical materials. I was chemically injured just from moving into our new home breathing in all the chemicals. Left me chronically ill. We did move and gut an old home using all non toxic materials from green building supply.com. Check them out. Great family owned business and a life saver for us. Everything is non toxic.

Also are the houses made of wood or cement?

[@lesliewilliams9072]

What a beautiful homestead! I am DEFINITELY interested in seeing videos of your renovations. Thanks for letting us follow your rich journey!

Leslie - thanks so much for following us along our journey!!!

Can’t wait to see the Reno work on KZbin. My husband and I live in Viseu, Portugal

The marble floors in living room needs to be replaced with oak wood. The kitchen needs to be an extension of the living room oak wood. The bathroom tiles need marble floor. The bedroom being wood is fine but I prefer a lighter oak wood. My suggestions :)

[@whitzala]

The bedroom floors look great, consider keeping them. Would love this to be a series!!!! I have three questions: 1. Will you live in the house while you renovate? 2. Would you ever put in a pool? 3. Could the attic maybe be a airbnb situation in the far future? 🤔 anyways love this, love yall, congratulations!!

[@roslynsmith5153]

Omg great price for all that land, you are blessed that it's already blooming with fruits and vegetables! And it sure looks like more than an acre of land. Congratulations!!!

Watching from New Zealand. Thank you for the inspiration. God bless!

[@dukkaliskitchen6288]

Beautiful home. Congratulations! I love Portugal, I have been to almost every city there from Algarve in the south to Montelagre in the north. Great food, great people and lovely weather.

Simon what are the winters along the silver coast like?

Bem-vindos ao mundo do português. Em relação à renovação, eu pessoalmente não mudaria o parquet é muito lindo e parece bem conservado. Parabéns pela linda jornada e muitas felicidades.

It's incredible how you managed to save a lot of money by simply moving away from Lisbon. There for this price you would get a studio or a 1 bedroom apartment, and you managed to get a huge hou with two kitchens and an awesome back yard and also an amazing entrance. I also wonder who the previous owner was because it seems like he meant to rent the upper half of the house while living in the lower floor which is a very smart idea. Thank you for this video and for all your content in general 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻

It is very typical for portuguese houses to have the upstairs being the "formal home" but live everday life dowmstairs only. The upstairs is usually only used for holidays and in some cases to sleep, if there aren't enough bedrooms downstairs.

Tears of joy in my heart...this will be me someday. Congrats!!! 😍😍

[@redwoods7370]

I lived in Cascais, Portugal for a year in the 1970's. Portugal is indeed a wonderful country with wonderful people. A very live and let live open culture. I loved it and often think about moving back there. I'm happy for this family.

[@Aih777]

The garden is to die for. You didn't mention what part of Portugal you bought the house in. Can't wait to see what you do to this house. It will be amazing.

[@wordygrrl]

I believe Christina said it’s along the “silver coast of Portugal” if that helps.

[@jayshah4106]

Hi Hetal, Being an Indian, I also am very thrilled the way they have found this property, and their future plans.I am SOLD on their huge back yard & vegetation!

[@ItsYomo]

The ‘Silver Coast’, but how far are you from Lisbon? And does this also mean your kids changed schools?

[@mrsiz218]

@@jayshah4106 Right?!!! Amazing!!!

[@PatriciaIsRonniesMom]

​@@ItsYomo the Silver Coast is a long stretch of the Portuguese coast, north of Lisbon. If they moved to, let's say, Peniche, they are 45 minutes away from Lisbon. They can be closer or farther away.

[@DividendGrowthInvesting]

Lol love the intro!!! Amon is so excited!!

[@spiral-m]

Thanks for that! Some great tips! I wasn't expecting all the fruit and veg growing - just shows how first impressions can be misleading.... Inspiring!

[@Chutney1luv]

Your journey is impressive! I love the land and your home! Can't wait to see how you've added your personal touch!
