It is finally time to start our Dream kitchen for our homestead. For us, a Dream kitchen means lots of storage and a place where we’ll cook and preserve lots of healthy food. After 8 months of self-building our entire home, this is a major milestone for us. Plus, this video marks the start of our kitchen series! More to come!
44 weeks ago, we bought an abandoned farm in Tras-os-montes, North Portugal. We’re building our dream house with a public garden, an ice cream kiosk, and our dream house optimized toward minimalist yet comfortable living. But we’re not just building a house – we’re bringing back to life an entire Portuguese Homestead and working on self-sufficiency. 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.

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys, kitchen looks interesting there is definitely a handy man at work, for the oven maybe look by project camp on you tube they build one of clay very beautiful and working good 👍.
Unique idea with the built in chopping board, I’m intrigued. It’s going to be fantastic!
Shame about the bbq. The idea was great but I’m sure you’ll have a fix for it.
Keep rolling guys, you’re doing great. 😎👍
You guys are doing amazing! I’ve never seen someone that works as hard as Dan. He seems unstoppable and has many talents. Love the bread cutting top…very unique. You make a great team! Elroy was so adorable in the footage…tumbling a bit on his puppy legs…he’s so darn cute.
Best wishes from Canada.
PS loved the kitchen you showed from Pinterest…yours will be beautiful too and made with your own hands
Your kitchen is turning into a unique comfortable space. Your man is a creative skillful hard-working individual. Hats off.
I love watching the two of you working together. You are so compatible
HELLO SINDY & DAN…WHAT AN AMAZING JOB ON THE DRAWERS OF THE KITCHEN UNIT…LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT REVEAL…ALL THE BEST…🙏🎄❄🔔🕯🛷;)
Wow! Nice start to kitchen. I love the butcher block. Will you do this with all of your countertop? It's a great way to use up your wood. Why buy a countertop? I can't wait to see what's next.🙂👍👍🌲❤🇨🇦
the kitchen build is looking good so far, you need igneous rock to build a fireplace, the sedimentary rock you used is made of layers, air trapped can also make those rocks pop out shards of hot rock so be careful
You both are massively talented! Looking great.😍
O absolutely LOVE watching your channel. Lovely couple… your love for your pets is amazing. I applaud you
Will a metal grate across and then build the walls higher and put a stone high across the top where it is not in direct heat? The kitchen build is great.
❤
That's great, fantastic job on the drawers Dan 👍👋
The kitchen is going to be amazing! The chopping board is fabulous and so beautiful! Good luck this week! Laura 🐶🐶🐶
You’re so talented!
The only stone that can withstand theta kind of heat is "soap Stone" (Pedra de sabão) also use for Pizza stones. but it was definately worth the try.
It's looking so good! Sorry about your injury, you had me worried 😟 but I'm glad you're okay!
I absolutely love your “oh well “that is life one step forward one step back ,you have such a positive attitude , I want that chopping block in my home good job!
Your carpentry skills will make you famous
You guys are doing an excellent job on your kitchen, I hope it comes out the way you want!!! Congrats and merry Christmas 🎄🎁
I had a lovely feeling when your cupboard was built. I bet you must be feeling it too. You have lived temporary lives for so long it’s nice that you can have a permanent cupboard to store your items.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😍
The barbecue must not have a roof… If you can put a metal plate on it and cook on it even… But it must have a chimney, if not free…
Seems to be a load of work, there a reason people buy ready made and have them I stalled. 😇
Absolutely amazing as usual. I'm just so impressed! Well done 👍
Who new all those hours of playing Tetras could come in handy for a real life skill 😂
So loving these end stages of progress as you vision comes into fruition 🙂 ~ Luise🇬🇧🇵🇹
Hi Dan and Cindi, WOW, custom built cabinet for the kitchen is a game changer. Real wood, not compressed. So lucky Dan can do almost anything with wood. Sorry about the BBQ, you could use an old oven rack to place on top where the stone broke or a steel grate. Really enjoyed watching you both working on the cabinet. Its going to be a beauty and so handy for storage. Thanks for sharing. Elroy is almost as big as Mason.
I like the kitchen build looking great want to see it till it's ready. Better than IKEA are you going to take any orders I'll be the first in line.
Omg what I would not give to have these skills……I have always had the theory and vision but putting it into reality a no go…….it’s so creative and the solid wood is amazing…..
