It's starting to feel like our home  ✔️🏠   Couple Build Dream home in North Portugal 🧔‍❤👩 🔨

This week was a game-changer for us and totally helped us with new solar light up, most windows, and the front door installed. It starting to feel like home. We are 17 days away from our moving date into our self-build dream home. We’re feeling the pressure, but we’re not letting it stress us out. LOL, It’s too hot to stress out. Thankfully with the insulation installed on most walls, the house is starting to feel fresher.

26 weeks ago, we bought an abandoned farm in Tras-os-montes, North Portugal, and we’re building our dream place with a public garden, an ice cream kiosk, and a tiny house.

We left the Rat trace for a simple life in North Portugal. And this is a slice of our dream and a new simple life.

  1. I think a sage green would make the wood/metal exterior pop. If sage is too lite for your taste I still think green would be the best color to complement the exterior. Sorry, I've been scarce but I broke my wrist and needed surgery. The cost was more than 10 times what my insurance will cover so I am now chomping at the bit to get to Portugal and looking at the first half of 2023 which will be just in time for your ice cream kiosk opening.

  2. Hey Sindy those lights are awesome for late night work, great progress, hats off to you both , no idea how you both work in that heat, been watching some of the others and they talking about 41 deg in central toiling away as well.😬😱

  3. Wow you two work well together and have achieved a lot, but why your windows open in instant of out? That will take do much space from the inside, but I don't know anything about building lol

  4. Be proud, very proud of your accomplishments! Your warriors forging ahead in this heat. Wishing everyone who watch your posts to become subscribers, hit like and notification button and watch advertisements. You deserve this after taking the time with filming, editing while trying to complete your home. Best of luck from an admirer of all your hard work. 👍👏🙏

  5. Would it be possible to modify that small square window? Maybe create your own drip holes so you can reposition it? Probably not feasible, but it may be worth looking into. What a big difference windows make! 💕

  6. Wow so much completed this week. Once your friend comes to help with the gypsum ceiling install, you will be soaring though to the finish line. It’s getting so exciting for you.

  7. As a qualified builder would you not have considered purchasing a flag pack home (many to choose from) from the USA all you would have needed to do was assemble. 📣💰 You done an a.asking job but the hard way, made difficult using supplies that don't necessarily work or aren't of qualty. It will be awesome once finished. 🏠🌼💮🌸🌷🌺

  8. STILL WITH YOU, SINDY & DAN, GUFFIN & NATHAN…LOOKING GREAT, BOTH OF YOU…AS TO THE DOOR…I HAD A WHITE DOOR IN A COTTAGE I LIVED IN FOR 20 YEARS…I DIDN'T LIKE THE WHITE SO I TOOK SOME BROWN PAINT & RUBBED IT ON SO THAT IT LOOKED LIKE WOOD…I HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ON IT THAT I WAS TRULY AMAZED…I WOULD DO IT AGAIN…AND I ALSO PAINTED THE TRIM AROUND THE DOOR DARK GOLD METALLIC…OLD WORLD DESIGN/MIDDLE EASTERN, THAT'S MY STYLE – BUT THAT WILL SOLVE YOUR WOOD DOOR PROBLEM…IT'S YOUR DECISION…WHATEVER YOU DO, I'M SURE IT WILL LOOK AMAZING…ALL THE BEST…🙏;)

  9. That door doesn't look that bad, painting it is a good idea if you don't want white. Like the windows also, the solar panels are great. The insulation makes it look a bit more finished inside. Each is a great accomplishment. The heat in the US is also unbearable and understand why you would take a break in the hottest time of day. You both got a lot accomplished in this video. Keep cool as much as you can. Thanks for sharing.

  10. Insulation, windows, & door – woohoo! 🎊 I vote red door , but I’m sure it’ll look awesome whatever color you choose.

    Love seeing the progress you guys are making- it’s very inspiring! Great work, as usual. Look forward to your next video! 🙌🏽

  11. Well done you two, what incredible troopers you are working in such extreme heat. So good to see the windows in and insulation, it will make such a difference for you. Sending you both every blessing and encouragement 🌞💚🌞
