Whilst I took a “holiday” to do a piece of client work, Kylie held the fort at the farm. Did she take a holiday of her own or put her feet up and rest?
Of course not. She single handedly dug out over 5 cubic meters of clay soil from the two small rooms under the stairs of our old Portuguese farm house.
This is all part of the preparation for putting down a new limecrete floor which will help deal with some of the damp and moisture issues on the ground floor of this old stone building.
So sit back, relax, grab a refreshing beverage and enjoy one of my favourite things – watching someone else work hard.

The Story So Far
—————————
My name’s Guy. My wife Kylie and I bought an abandoned stone farmhouse and almost an acre of land in the autumn of 2020 and have been slowly (but surely) restoring it and bringing it back to its former glory. We’re renovating the house (doing most of the work ourselves) and rejuvenating the land. We’re currently growing a range of crops and one day plan to raise animals with a goal of building a semi-self-sufficient homestead.
Stay tuned to see what we get up to and follow our progress.
