13 weeks ago we bought an abandoned farm in Tras-os-montes, North Portugal. Today we’re starting to build our wooden tiny house. In this video, you’ll see the wood base on which our tiny house will sit. And you’ll see us lay the isolation and the floorboards.
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.

Hi, Were any building permits required? All the Best
😀
Don't use those galvanise sheets on your roof, it will cause condensation in the winter. You will have water dripping onto your water proof barrier . Use one with insulation and it will always be dry. God bless you guys.
they think it's…fixe,lol.
Don't forget to cut the trees behind the house, they are too close and it's very dangerous because of the fires. Beautiful but dangerous.
Well done on your progress so far. I’m surprised in a way that you didn’t go with the sandwich roof panels that have insulation built in. But glad you know what you want for the long term.
Technically very correct to built the ground floor elevated in relation to the soil…otherwise the house always get humidity from underneath … unfortunately the majority of houses built in Portugal from some decades ago have the foundations directly over the ground and I believe even today some people build that way….in order to cut costs……
You doing so well.
It's coming along nicely.😃
You have a good looking partner, I'd like to see more closeups of him working and not so many butt shots.😁
Great team work. 👏
Great job guys, you really are moving forward well with the build 🙏🌞🏠
Do you have any regrets in choosing the location? If they could, would they go back?
Your tiny house isn't so tiny! Looks great. In slow motion I can see that the dogs are like little children – they follow you everywhere. Do you both have a background in construction?
Good job guys I enjoy it very much 👏👏👏. 🇺🇸🇺🇸 from USA
You guys are doing a wonderful job
Great video. Loved that it was a bit longer
Please talk more to the camera and less to each other.
