Week seven of the renovations at the farm! A whole lot more rain and eventually 2 days of sunshine, just enough to finish the roof tiles and complete this big milestone. I’m feeling really great as it’s all coming together!
Enjoying the journey? Consider buying me a cup of coffee 🙂

About Girl Meets Farm:
I’m Christine. I started this journey in search of my forever farm in Portugal, and now I have found it!
This is my adventure as a solo expat on a farm in Central Portugal with my two fur-kids, Shakti & Shiva.
I’ve never owned or lived on a farm, but moved to Portugal in the hope of fulfilling a life-long dream of finding open space, subsistence farming and a safer, better life.
Now that we have found our farm, the second stage of our journey begins!
I have to figure out farm life while renovating an agricultural structure to make it habitable and turn it into a comfortable home for me and my furkids.
Thank you for joining our journey!

Wow, what a train wreck of a building. Not much left of it. Been better off knocking it down and building a new one. GOOD LUCK!
Congrats Christine! Such good progress. It's going to be an amazing house
👍
Fabulous 🎉 can’t wait for the next update x
Many tanks for this video, the work is progressing very nicey. I was wondering if they do insulation of the buldings from outside and also roof insulation? Are you going to have any? I can imagine that during the winter it can get quite cold at night and what would be the solution to keep inside to house warm?
Hi Christine your builders are doing a nice job on your extension your very lucky to have good builders looking forward to seeing the finish😊.
Oh I am so excited for you! It is looking fantastic! I am sure you cannot wait to be lying on your bed, looking out of the french doors, at your magnificent view <3
Oh my goodness…it is fabulous…love watching you. You are always positive,happy,and always looking forward.
Hi, Christine. What a lot of work achieved. Your now water tight. Looking forward to your next progress video. Your smiling ear to ear, I can see your joy. It might be all done by NewYear….. stay sane,stay safe. Have a good weekend.
Pure awesomeness!
It looks much bigger now the roof is on! Good workers. Please don't postpone putting guttering on because it is very important so your walls don't get all the moist
Looking good 👏
It certainly goes faster once the roof is done. Indoor plumbing will be wonderful to have done, too.
I'm jumping with Joy for you….a comfortable place for winters, awesome news. However, is there any way to brighten up the room? Sunroof? Will the room get darker if you wall in the office? Just some thoughts came up.😁
Loving the progress on the farm. I'm so happy things are going well for you.
I am so impressed with the builders, and so happy for you.
Fantastic progress Christine . I’m looking forward to seeing the next lot of work x
From what I can tell you have a really good construction team. Still a bit rough inside, but it won't be much longer you'll be moved in. Congrats
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you girl.
Great progress! Just a thought…there seems to be lots of useful material in your rubbish pile that could be saved for your future projects. Maybe a day sifting through and keeping some since you have paid for the stuff, seems a shame for it to be taken to the dump?
I’m so glad to see your improving your beautiful place. ❤❤❤❤
Looking great! Are you going to be renovating the attached buildings as well? Would be great for visitors.
Looking Great so far Christine x
Looking great 👍
Wow! Christine, the place is looking amazing! So good to have the roof on so the work can continue uninterrupted. The house will be so gorgeous when it's all done. I can't wait for more! So exciting!🙂👍👍
The renovation is coming along beautifully, in spite of the rain, and will make your living really comfortable. Happy for you and looking forward to seeing the finished project. Congrats!
😃
Congratulations, Christine!
Your building team achieved so much this week. We'll done!
Roof is looking great and glad the plumbing and electricity work inside will be able to continue, despite rainy days expected.
Can imagine how much you are looking forward to your completed project, and mainly the bathroom😊
Sorry we couldn't be there for the traditional 'roof wetting' 😀
All the best for the week ahead. Can't wait to see the next completions😊
I’m so excited foryou
Well done, it’s really coming along. Looking forward to the final reveal🇨🇦
Keep on rockin in the free world, Christine! Congrats on your progress. I’m flying over to PT this weekend. Wooo Hooo!
WOW! How exciting this is! I think the work looks excellent! Oh how you will enjoy the bathroom especially at night! I am so happy for you!
Je ne me lasse pas de vous regarder miss
Great to see how the builders are getting on! Are you going to get some guttering, as that roof will now catch a lot of rain?
Congratulations Christine! I admire your courage and tenacity from 🇺🇸👏
Good job abraço
You builders are really doing a great job! It's so nice to see the weekly progress. The finished roof marks a big milestone👏🏽
Nice to see professional work
I’m going to bottle the sunshine you’re channelling 😊
Great work done! Are you going to put an extractor fan in bathroom to prevent mould due to humidity?
These lads seem to be top notch workmen. Happy for you that things are looking great.
It's looking great! Glad to see you soon confortable and warm. Greetings.
Cool !!! ça progresse bien !!!
