Video is out much earlier this morning as I've been up since 5am doing a virtual school visit in the Middle East. Gotta love time differences!

How many pigs do you plan on having with those additional pens?

Are those huge trees at the top of the property Cork trees?

I like the plan. My two favorites are the log cabin and barn.
Have you figured how many litters you will need a year to support the farm? I noted all the expansions you are planning. Great job so far.❤️

U got a cold, or too much work

Great plan and so much to see the gang having an evening out!

Cindy, I saw bottles used horizontally along with the circular ends in a log wall. It lets you create patterns with dots and dash lines. It was attractive and added a bit more interest to the wall. A fence post auger might be a really good investment for you considering how many new pens you want to create. It might be good to place your posts closer together to make the fencing sturdier.

that's a lot ! I hope you wrote all those plans down for future reference.!

Background music not even needed as you walk about the farm… the natural sounds and bird song of Bela Pedra are beautiful. You're breathing wasn't very labored while walking up past the mushroom rock — your destiny as land carer and steward, as the ladies said above, is guiding you to become stronger & stronger.

How many pigs are you planning to have ? How about some chickens? Chickens may be easier?

Cindy what you already have achieved on one year is amazing. You will definitely reach your goal within your 5 year plan. 💚

😁

The bowling get-together video was perfectly timed after the “stay sane” title

Great five year plan Cindy… thanks for the update and looking forward to all the future working progresses 👍💯🤗

Piggies piggies everywhere !! And I can't wait to see the chickens !! When do you think that'll be?

The Mushroom Rock" is awesome ❤

Please create a map / drawing of your property now and a rendering of the goal of your 5 yr plan. It is hard to visualize based on even your good description. Thank you.

Thanks for your vid Cindy 😇💟💟💟 Love you. nice to see you all at the end.

Love the five year plan
Beautiful pictures of your son and grandson
Can’t wait to see how is goes
Thank you for sharing 😁

I love the walk round the farm, it's so beautiful and your plans for the future will all come to fruition, like any property there is always going to be something to do and I can't wait to see the progress. You are doing a great job Cindy

Hi Cindy, sounds like a good plan, always be proud of your small achievements as there are so many of them, I know it knocks you back when you get negative comments but you done such a lot ,so straighten that crown and be proud. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Nice plan. Look forward to following. 🐷🐶🐷🐶🐷

I love your plans! For fencing, do you have enough rocks around to build gabion fence posts/columns? The whole fence doesn't have to be made of rocks- just the posts/columns. If they are wide enough they are very stable & maybe Oreo resistant. They don't have to be tall since you can use some scrap wood for the upper part of the fence post if the bottom of the wood is buried in the gabion rocks. If the wire fencing between posts is buried in the bottom then it will be hard for him to sneak out I think. If you don't have enough rocks then old concrete & construction rubble can be used. But maybe wood fence posts are cheaper than the wire fencing for each gabion post. The gabion posts might work well in areas you can't dig because of granite boulders. You just have to make sure the post is vertical.

Coucou , bonjour,
effectivement Rome ne c'est pas faite en un jours .
Je pense que vous devriez changer vos priorités , un lieu de stockage pour la nourriture de vos animaux en est effectivement une , et en dur serais le mieux , par contre votre bien être est aussi important , finir la cuisine qu'elle soit hermétique serais bien non ? je sais que les hivers au Portugal peuvent être glacial …..
Pour les enclos à cochons renseignez vous mais je crois qu'il y à une norme entre les clôtures extérieures et intérieures .Pour évitez tout contact et transmission de maladie entre les cochons sauvages et les vôtres !!!
En tout cas votre avancement est bien réel je vous félicite , prenez soin de vous et de vos animaux ^_^^.

Thanks! Loved the video. 💕

I think Frank the digger is a good plan. I think brick pig maternity pens would be great. Also maybe use a sheet of insulated roof panel so they will be more protected from heat or cold. I wonder how expensive these panels are.🙂🙂👍👍👍

Your land is so beautiful! ❤

Think that wood will be too flimsy for pig pens. You need the eucalyptus poles for that, they are really strong.

A lot of work to do, but also a lot of fun together !

It is so nice to see your plan coming to fruition! Whatever time it takes, you are enjoying such a beautiful space that exudes peace and tranquility! GOD bless your journey and much health and help to make it happen!

I wish had a good place to stay in the area to give you a good few weeks help. I would love to get stuck in…not using an angle grinder though. They scare me!
