Whilst we wait for our 3000-liter water tank to arrive it gives us time to prepare for the location of it – we need a sturdy concrete slab for the tank to sit on.

Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

  1. Must be nice. You have great dirt there. Our yard is half clay and if want to plant anything, we have to pull out all dirt and replace it. Makes it so difficult.

  2. A quick suggestion for your waney-edged lap siding… Lay the bottom board waney side up, that way you have a square edge at the bottom to work to should you ever need it, plus it cuts down on the size of the gap at the bottom.

  3. I hope you went and cooled down in the river Theo. I hope you took care because a dry socket is the biggest concern with a molar pulled out or at least that is the way it was years ago when they packed the socket and cautioned not to do anything that involved sucking because it can dislodge the packing and cause a dry socket which is extremely painful. You guys are doing splendidly on your homestead, I enjoy watching you two.

  4. I am so happy to see Gingy-bear again. I love to see your progress on your property and those boards look beautiful Bea it does look rustic and as Theo says the grain does pop out on the wood. Have a lovely day to the two of you. Greetings from the UK.

  5. What an amazing accomplishment. Looking back when you started i couldn't believe that you could really convert the building. You are both geniuses in your own right. So fun to watch you. Especially love the goats!! My husband and I watch you from New Hampshire. All the best to both of you. 😘

  6. Has Theo thought about wearing a bandanna to alleviate his perspiring into his eyes? He needs to be more careful. I’m always expecting a snake to get one of you as you uncover stones, or other things and you Bea as you stroll through the grass. You’re way braver than me and I grew up on my grandmas farm. 🐍 aaawww😲😱🤪. Love you both

  7. Hi guys, so enjoy watching the progress of your beautiful farm, it’s relaxing (for us), informative and entertaining! Two things, here in Texas we call converted barns ‘Barndominiums’, and second, if not too late, a friend used rebar driven into the ground 18” to 2 feet to hold a cement slab in case of water erosion underneath the slab, he used 5 in a slab that was 4X4, center & toward corners. Just a thought to pass along. Again really enjoy your videos. Happy Days
    Rebar goes into slab & down into the ground, like you did to hold form, but the top part is part of slab, hope this makes sense.
