How about checking out this YouTube channel ‘Never too small’ for ideas for the stairs. Having a staircase in the middle of the room may posed a problem if and when you have company. On this channel, I saw a featured stairway to a loft that the designed is disguised like a storage/bookcase which I think would work perfectly in your layout.

Hi there 🤗 new sub here from Boston MA ~ look forward to binge-watching more of your past videos in the next few days 👍 lovely home & property…and Fernando! ❤❤❤❤ have a great time in Iceland. {Lisa}

You all like the lake

I think you enjoy the lake

Thank goodness it is Q&A time as many questions were on my mind, thanks!! I love that u guys love animals!! 💜💙🇦🇺🌞

Thank you for this lovely update, safe travels to Iceland. Enjoy❤️

Thanks for answering viewer questions, you both were so lovely to do that. I can already imagine a goat A frame enclosure. What have you planted in the second raised garden bed? Bee, you are such a gentle soul as is Theo and answering those questions about depression is a deeply personal matter. I'm so glad to hear you say that you do take care to have quiet personal time and find gardening and the animals so fulfilling and satisfying. 😉 So I guess a firemen's pole down from the mezzanine is out of the question‼️LOL Have you looked into building a ships ladder? It is such a beautiful design style and in chestnut would be another magnificent piece in your home. Two other thoughts, they do make gas refrigerators, A/C is expensive to buy and run off of solar. A beautiful ceiling fan w/5 blades, to move the air on hot days and nights should keep you comfortable and dry. With your thick stone walls I'd be concerned about creating a mold situation with Acon. A dehumidifier is better than Acon anyway. As I remember both skylights do open to vent the hot air with a ceiling fan. My birthday this year is on Feb 28th & March 1st because 28 + 1 = 29 and that is my actual birth date. Yes, leapyear! I'm turning 17 1/2 this year. So our birthdays are close. As Leaplings, we write our age like this,
17@70. So Happy Birthday to you in advance 🎉🎊🎉 🍷♥️🇺🇸

British in Europe! Bad!

Still have not seen or heard that you both have a permit from the goverment of Portugal to change the destination of a barn into a home. And than quickly rent it and flea the country. Hey, it wasn't me who bend the rules.

Hello Bee & Theo, I'm so enjoying this video of Q & A's. You've become like my family far away and I do follow you and the progress on the property. Will the new t-shirts say Barn Life on them? Lol I hope so! Can't wait to follow your adventures in Iceland which is a beautiful lush green world. Today is Feb 25th in Massachusetts USA and I've 7" of fresh snow and the total is expected to be 9"-12" before it's over. Yikes that's way to much winter for this old lady to handle alone. Thank goodness I have two wonderful neighbors who are real gentlemen and take care of the snow shoveling for me. I am truly blessed to have them as my neighbors. They're both single so I cook dinners for them asy way of showing my gratitude for all they do. Do I remember correctly that your Mom & Dad will be coming to stay while you're in Iceland? How nice they must be wonderful parents to come and home and animal sit. 🙏♥️🇺🇸

put a green or blue bottle in that hole and let the sun shine through it 😉 looks amazing

IS OUR BARN SAFE TO LIVE IN? Yes I hope so! You converted that barn into a house yourself, so I think it's pretty stupid to ask yourself that question!

Hey Theo, with that T-shirt, I'd call you 'prickly bear'😄

Get better soon.

I just found you site. How lovely to build your own place. What part of Portugal you live in? How many acres you got? And if it is okay with you the price of your property? Thanks and on smiling.

This was a fun video, with lots of questions answered. Thanks!

I stopped eating gluten about a year ago for thyroid issues. And yes, gluten free food is both expensive and small packages. ☹️

LOVE YOU TWO:). I am 65 and and watch multiple youtubers but you are my absolute fave. I live in the US. Can't wait til you come back here. I love your pets/ family…goats, chick's and cats. I have never responded to a youtube video before. I think this might go thru. Not sure.

Great Q&A!

Get a puppy dog and they will accept him easier. They will bully him for a while and then they will be friends.

I hope you feel free not to talk about your mental health journey Bee. Even if it is highly helpful for others never feel pressed to share beyond what feels comfortable ❤️

It's wonderful watching you guys succeed. But if abnb is brought into the mix, I'm out. W abnb on board everything becomes too commercialized for my taste. Be well! And thank you.

I love your house

donkeys make great guardians and are loyal to any animal which they protect , not special food needed as they will graze with the goats , can and do take on dogs.

Great video!!

Don’t worry snakes in Portugal are armless unless the small vipers but it’s not deadly anyway

Do you want to have children ?

Are you getting married?
😊

I have a question: Are you going to get a big ass TV for the barn?

What a lovely video.

My husband and I watch your wonderful videos with our grandchildren. We are so thankful for the openness and honesty about depression and the ups and downs of life. We loved this video answering alot of things we have wondered and talked about at the dinner table LOL. You are beautiful people and so kind and we wish you safe and wonderful travels to Iceland! Much love from Tennessee US

Use a bottle for the hole

Great video! Many of these questions were things I had thought about but never asked. It would be great if you did this periodically.

The same amount of money spent on AirCon could be spent on Geothermal, thereby saving on both heating AND cooling, and using much less electricity…

Great job . It’s all looking very professional. You did comment that many people have written giving their opinion about your central architectural feature- the stairs. I understand why, as there are so many variations on methods of accessing the mezzanine bedroom, admittedly maybe only once or twice a day. When you consider that the stairs will be used about 5 minutes total a day your plan will create them as the permanent major dominant feature of the I room house. Libraries world wide have solved a similar problem requiring access by having a ladder/ stair on wheels that slides along horizontally and can be out of the way most of the time. . That would allow it to be positioned for use to access the bedroom, while able to be slid away to the side when nor actually in use.

👍🏻

Enjoy your trip to iceland

Man !!! With this giant cactus, You can make your own Tequila… baby …!!! lolol

Thanks for all the info! Enjoy your trip!

Are you going to build a barn for your vehicles, etc?

I enjoy your videos.
So glad you two are making great progress on your barn conversation.
Love all the things you have done with it.
Keep the videos coming for us to enjoy.

Hi from Delaware,US…I ove watching such a lovely vibrant couple who’s dreams are fun. Keep it up and God Bless.

Hi, I love your videos and I've followed since the beginning! I wondered if you thought about putting an extra leg in the middle of your new sofa so that it doesn't end up sagging later on?

Stair I’d put up to wall so you have space for your tv and guest visiting you just a thought bee 🐝

This video shows how fab caring and loving a couple you both are Have a fab safe time travelling to iceland and why are you going to iceland ? X

Great Vlog, thankyou! I did avoid it because I hate the vlogs that just sit staring into the camera and answer questions as they come up on the side panel.. and then thought I would just have a peek! and there you were – answering all the unanswered questions to those of us new to your channel with an interesting format. Have a fabulous trip and thankyou again.
