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. Hi! Congratulations! Exciting times!
    I am Portuguese, I live in UK and just came across your video!
    I hope I can help with some queries…. the barber shop (not hair dresser) had, back in the days, a chair ( not a commode! So funny! ) and the bottom of the chair would flick from costumer to costumer… and the chest of salt in cellars, again back in the day (no fridge) was used to preserve meat in salt ( it was delicious!) …. the chamber pot is called “penico” in Portuguese… the brown clay pots, usually used to store or preserve lard….
    best of Luck in your new adventure xxx

  2. We have a "dungeon" room on our home. We have a two story home in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas that was built by my hubby's grandpa and his brothers. The bottom story is built into the earth and on one end is the "dungeon". That room stays in the 50's even when our temps are in the triple digits. We've been discussing ways to use that room to help cool the rest of the house.

  3. Wow that is an amazing little house and glad you have shared your vision with us we would love to see the progress you make with it. You are making a wonderful life for your selves so good luck and keep it up it's awesome.

  4. The wooden octogonal shape thing with a metal bowl in the middle, looks like a “braseira” traditionally used under a small round table (“camilha”) to heat the feet of those sitting at this table (with a table cloth that touched the floor to trap the heat). People would put “brasas” (wood still hot but not on fire) from the fireplace in the metal bowl. Yes it was a fire hazard, no I haven’t seen one in use under a table all my life and I am Portuguese.
    The scale was used in farms to weigh harvests and other things. You put the weights in the hanging plate and what you wanted to weigh in the big platform. My cousins and I usually weighed each other just for fun 😅. There might be other uses, but these are the ones I know of. Best of luck!

  5. Nice video. Love the new place. Nice for a rental. Best of luck. Maybe consider stop using the word, "tiny," when describing the farm house. It's such a cliche. LOL. perhaps I'm the only one so tired of it. Keep up all the hard work. You guys are amazing.

  6. What a lovely house! I personally would love to see what you do with it! It’s so cool to see how people live in other countries. I hope you don’t change too much!
