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 Theo, fyi when you trim the Oak limbs try and cut back to the (stem collar) and the limb wont bolt or throw several sprouts from the cut area, saves future work if done this way

  2. I have enjoyed your videos over the years
    However on this issue ie homestead I really am not seeing how it can be sustainable
    Self sufficient food wise takes a lot more than the few small raised beds you have a few goats and a cple of hens . It is a scorcher of a place to live off grid without air conditioning etc . I think you are promoting a faux idealistic life in a baron wasteland . Far better be situated in northern Spain ,France Wales , scotalnd England .

  3. Sitting here enjoying your videos. The barn is looking so amazing. Have more Water. Life will be easy. Lu you from Dartmouth Nova Scotia 🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️❤️🎁🎁🥰🥰

  4. I just love how you repurpose most everything from the property to help improve your life. You are both looking great as you continue to build your little piece of Paradice.

  5. A shed! Methinks we could be looking at the start of a mancave! And a car port! Shiver me timbers! Can't wait to see the start. Great vids,guys. Happy Daze!

  6. Just love how you all work so well together, Theo is like me, “A Horder” never throw things away as it always comes in handy one day. I wondered why Theo had a Knot in the last piece of wood on the side panels, but once finished I could see it was the same as some other panels, so looks real Rustic. ❤️💙 Love your videos xx

  7. eucalyptus is from Australia and was introduced to many countries by Errol Flynn in the early 1900s, he never advised how flammable it is due to the fumes given off during hot summers that is why Australia has such fierce bush fires. the wood ic so useful such as mak8ng paper, firewood, building materials and oil which is a natural strong antibacterial cleaner, put it on a hanky when you have a cold and inhale the fumes to open your airways or wipe cuts and abrasions to clean wounds and even put on chewing gum stuck in hair , clothing or carpet etc to remove the gum.

  8. Jeez Bee, you are the hardest working person I know!!!! I know Theo works too, but you never get to drive and man, oh man you do so much of the fiddly manual labour. I don't know how you do it.

  9. The concrete beams look like lintels for strength over say a door opening. Or they could be a giants toothpicks. I think I’ve had too many beers!

  10. Great work guys! You make everything look so easy to achieve! Such an inspiration 😊
    One thing, eucalyptus has been grown in Portugal since the 60's, very recently! So, most probably the first roof of the barn was done with oak or chestnut beams, most probably oak in that area!
    All the best for you! Love watching your videos!
