The best thing I like about being off grid on my 60 acres is that it doesn’t matter if it takes me 3 days or 3 weeks to do something as there is no time restraints and as a retired service technician that is truly a blessing to work at your own pace. Good luck to you all!
Thats what we love too! thanks for watching 😀

Selamat siang salam kenal🙏🙋♂️🙋♂️
I mean there is somewhat because depending on where you live you kind of need to get things done before winter because it can be a bit harder to get food during winter because less animals out and less plants growing but other then that yeah you have a pretty big time limit
That is my dream to once be able to be nearly 100% self sufficient and sustainable. I’d like to wakeup and work at my own pace in my own space. Eat food that I’ve grown and raised. Such a satisfying and rewarding feeling. I am pushing towards it. Aloha👍🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼
This is not a negative comment, just an observation - going off grid is much easier if you have a lot of great tools available. Technology is very helpful. I applaud what you are doing.
We agree, technology is extremely helpful and we don’t think there’s anything wrong in using what we have available to us 😀
Technology is not a sin. I don't know where that idea came from. If you have it use it.
I agree, but it’s so much more better when you make do with what you have. Then you add a piece when you need it. This is so much better this way. God bless you both❤️

Technology is helpful. But..how many, hom much..? Living off grid is a way to escape from technology around us.
Wow Laura and Dan this is just awe inspiring! Thank you so much for taking us on this beautiful journey. To see how far you have come in such a short space of time is just brilliant! It gives me hope and so much inspiration for my future and what changes i'd like to make for myself! Lots of love 🙂
What a long journey of experience and hard work to get to where you both are now. You did a fantastic job, be proud of yourselves!! Loved this summary of all you did.
This is absolutely awesome! You two have transformed the abandoned farm and created a homestead in such a short space of time. Planning some things in advance was a really good decision.Well done👏🏽👏🏽 I have been following you from day 1, and can't believe that it has only been 3 months! I wish you continued success.
right?! they have done awesome! and much success to them!

Can you follow me?
Peace and love to you both. You have achieved much in 3 months. Loving your journey, take care both of you and stay healthy.
This has been great to watch and put me in a holiday mood -- happy and hopeful. Congrats on what you've accomplished for yourselves in so short a time!
It was awesome to see your journey building your homestead from scratch. I wish you both success in the next 3 months and can't wait to see what's coming up next. Thanks guys for a great video. Luv from Australia, I'm on holiday at my daughter for Christmas 🌲🎅
Beautiful progress. Beautiful mind set. I’m just starting out with my little place and like you say, sometimes it’s so easy to get overwhelmed or worried one doesn’t know how to do things… but if you try, at least you are Doing Something, taking steps forward…as if you never try, you just stay in the same place. Love watching what you get up to. It’s all looking so lovely already xxx
Have watched all your videos but it was great to see this overview! You've done a massive good job so far, congratulations!
A beautiful chapter “summarising” your journey so far. I appreciate the hard word on, off and with camera. Regards from Aus. 🌻
You guys are courages, gutsy and have more talents you are developing as you build your life! I love the quality of your videos too! Thanks for sharing! Merry Christmas! ❤️🇨🇦
Brilliant video! Great seeing the whole journey recapped in one video and amazing to see how much you got done in just 3 months! Well done! And great videography too! Well done on that was very professional and great voiceover and music too! You should be really proud of how much you guys have achieved in such a short time! 💪😎 Looking forward to seeing what's next on the journey! Have a great rest of the week! Cheers from London 👍🏴🇬🇧
"The key in life is you just have to turn up and find a way" is such an important lesson to learn, this video was great! Best wishes to you!
Yes! Thank you! so true
Laura's gentle voice works so well for the narration. You have the right to be pleased with what you have done so far.
You have done so much in just a few months! It is inspiring. 😊
I think your video may be the last push I need to get my wife on board with my crazy ideas... We are from Portugal and I have dreamed of returning for years. We have 4 kids we want to give a wild and natural life to. I too want to travel a bit and head back out there to get an abandoned plot and turn it into something sublime like you have done.👍😍
Love that glad we could inspire you and hope it all goes well for you. thanks for watching
A big change from Newcastle City Centre! We've really enjoyed watching your videos, we moved over from Newcastle to Central Portugal a couple of years ago and we've been renovating an old house in a tiny village for the last year. Best of luck!
All the respect and admiration to the 2 of you. You are amazing. Keep faith and keep going! It will be a big success.
Great progress guys. Laying the basis for a special place to call home. It must be so satisfying everytime you walk in that gorgeous wee outhouse.
Top notch work ,great editing and Laura's voice over is lovely easy listening . Your parents must be so proud of you ..as you say "well chuffed" .
Good Afternoon from Arizona you and Dan works so good together I absolutely love love watching you and following you two on your journey. Looking forward to next weeks video until then take care.
Absoloutely LOVING what you have done on your block!! HUGS to you both.
Keep it up! The time will soon come where you start to see what life is like after all your hard work, in that beautiful place you both call home, stay safe and be happy.
Thanks for watching 🌸😀
Love the videos and following your progress. When building a wall using wooden studs it works better to build it on the ground and then stand it up and brace it. Repeat until all walls are up. Works great on walls 12 feet or shorter. This will also help to make sure all is square. Great job ya'll
Beautiful film. It's not only the Portuguese who shared their farmhouses with animals. The Welsh Longhouse was designed to do exactly that, with the thought that the heat given off by the beasts in one half would help to keep the family warm in the other (that's the theory, I've never actually tested it). Recycling pallets is a great idea, the cost of new wood at builders' merchants is astronomical. You could build yourself a large flat trolley (like a kid's go-cart) to transport heavy things from the road to your homestead. It's amazing how manageable heavy things become once you get some wheels underneath them. I would level the track with a pick, using earth and stones from the high spots to fill in the ruts. The Sprinter will roll it down. Onwards and upwards!
Respect to you two. Good job on the homestead. You are making steady progress and the best thing of all is you will always remember the lessons you learned along the way. Greetings from fellow off grinders. 👍🏻
Great recap of the progress you've made - it is a lot of hard, hard work. Much continued success with your plans and work!
You two are living my dream, love the videos ! good luck.
I'm so proud of you Laura and Dan. You know what keep me to this channel, it is the way you both work do things together, the team work. I'm in love with your both, 🥰

Great home stead !! nice to see the beautiful journey you are taking , Dreaming living learning , enjoying the outside , Rest of your life these days are to be so remembered so fondly ! peace an blessings , craig
Awesome video! It is always fascinating to watch the countryside's beauty. Congrats on what you have accomplished in a such short time. Can't wait to see what's coming up next.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
I have not missed a single part of your journey. It's so close to the way we started. Keep at it, after a while you will be doing jobs you WANT to do not jobs you HAVE to do. That makes all the difference in the world. I realize the budget is tight and currency is an issue but with Christmas being right around the corner maybe you can sweet talk Santa (or Father Christmas if you prefer) into bringing you a sturdy garden cart. One where the sides are removable Moving your IBC's would have been a breeze once they were balanced on it. You will find it more useful than the wheelbarrow over time. If he won't spring for that, you still need a decent garden rake especially if you plan on planting some crops of your own. It never hurts to ask! Recap videos are hard. A lot of editing and a great deal of time is required. You did a GREAT job with this one!! Keep smiling, keep working and keep making the videos we like to see!
Your doing an awesome job you two..been watching you from the beginning of you getting to this property...keep up the good work...your channel is a good one to watch..
I can't wait to see the following episode and what you're going to achieve. You did a very good job on this property. 👍
I so admire you guys 😊 you pull together and work so hard. Well done on all you’ve achieved in such a short period of time… you are going to be successful because of your wonderful qualities of patience, resilience and endurance 👏👏❤ x
The farm is looking great now. Keep up the good work
Awesome teamwork and results. Here's to a healthy and happy holiday season 🎄and a New Year 2023 full of joy and prosperity. Blessings to you from NYC😇🎄
Great storytelling. Loved every moment.
Huge Respect to you both. Absolutely feel and admire your love and passion for life. Best of all, is seeing you both enjoying the journey together! God bless!
Thanks for the kind words James ❤
First time subscriber and how refreshing to follow a young grounded couple having a go at life and doing a fantastic job
Thanks for the sub Steven, we appreciate it 💖
A lot of work , but what a transformation i love this what a beautiful job you have done on this property.
It is always nice to see couples building their house together and having fun with it 🙂 Most of the time, I have to work alone on our house project and we definetly have not so nice weather conditions here in germany ;-)
You 2 have done a great job over the last 3 months it's a lot of work well done
Loved the video. Love each other and what you have built together because that is who you are. All the best!
Thanks Jose ❤
Brilliant job .Well done you have both worked so well and achieved so much.So glad we came across your channel
Thanks for watching 😀
You picked a great Country to settle in , it is an honor to see people like you choose Portugal to live in
That's so kind Tony, we absolutely love Portugal 💖
Welcome to Portugal! With all the rain in the last months you should have a good amount of stored water. Love and peace for all.
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL STORY
Awesome video showing just how far you’ve come already! Fantastic editing too btw 👍 Out of interest, what jobs did you both have before you left the rat race because Dan looks good at DIY to be able to sort the electrics out for the shower and at least one of you is pretty nifty with the computer techy stuff 🙂
I loved watching your video. It’s made me realise how jealous i am of what you’ve achieved. Especially as someone who’s been going to Portugal on and off for the last 30 years (and not to the Algarve) I know how beautiful and peaceful the interior of this country is. I appreciate that your video has condensed all the best bits as I’m sure there’s been some tough moments but keep going on what your doing. It’s Absolutely wonderful stuff.
Thanks so much, Portugal really is such a beautiful country 🌿💖
Great job you too. A labor of love to be sure. yall seem a couple of old souls. really enjoyed the content and watching the growth.well done.
Thanks Greg 🙏 glad you enjoyed the video 😀
Bom final de ano e um 2023 com muita sorte, vocês merecem.

Epic journeys always start with humble beginnings.. Wishing you guys achieve greater heights !!
Thanks so much 😀
Wow, kudos to you two!! So much and really nice work, keep going!
Thank you! Will do! 😊 ❤
Looking great so far, I love how the first thing you did was get a large range of tools and a tidy store for them. Will you be living in the van on the property for a long time or building a temporary accommodation before the stone house is completed?
i loved every second of this video, what you guys did is just amazing.
:)
Grandads paint brushes as well? love it 😀 I bet he is proud 👍 Love the country ive been on many retreats and met alot of folk out there that have done what you are doing now it's a great way of life congratulations to you both .

Thanks Lesley 😀
I so get the mindset. I just want to go home. To my quiet lakehouse. I also now live a minimalist life. And love it. No stress. And into more holistic life path. Great video. Hope to see more
I love your videos. I'm in the USA and would like to go off grid here. Your camera work is really great!
Thank you very much!🌻
Nice journey, you come a long way for 3 months, look forward to seeing more
Super cool! Some really neat ideas in place here and well produced. Great job.
Glad you liked it Kyle 🌈
You didn't hear this from me ;P but I would use a long lumber/2x4 as a yoke between two people and tie the IBC Totes to the lumber. It'll be a leg lift vs an arm lift. Awesome content!
You bring a tear to my eye 2 young people going out and taking what you need not what society tells us we should have please don't give up. 64 year old who had this opportunity 35 years ago just had to sign paper work 1st wife would not go 10 years later we split up o well that's the way it goes good luck Will continue to watch your journey.
Thanks so much 🌻
If I can help you with one tip get approximately 12 foot length of rope or cloth and tie it together to make a loop now put it through the pallet on one side of the ibc then use the rope cloth to carry the ibc by putting the rope over your shoulders you’ll find it a lot easier to carry big things as your using your body to do the work not your arms and back. Keep up the good work and get yourselves sorted to temporary sleep in the barn at least you can have a wood fire to warm over the winter months. Waiting for next episode. Xx
For two people who hadn’t had much building experience, you’ve done quite well. Very impressive.
Yes the simple life is just the way to go. Thus doesn't mean no hard work it means a more rewarding experience of life. So blessed to find this out early.
WHAT AN AWESOME EDITING JOB. BEAUTIFUL VID!! SO GLAD TO SEE ALL THE STEPS OF PROGRESS. ITS A GOOD FEELING TO SEE YOUNG PEOPLE DOING THE THINGS WE SHOULD HAVE DONE WHEN WE WERE YOUR AGES. IM PLAYING CATCHUP, BUT BETTER LATE THAN NEVER I SAY. FORGETTHAT NORMAL RATRACE PROGRAMMED SOCIETY. I ACTUALLY DONT EVEN LIKE GOING TO TOWN ANYMORE. I JUST LIKE TO STAY HOME AND WORK ON MY HOMESTEAD. LIVING OFF THE BARE MINIMUM. BEING FARTHER AWAY FROM THINGS IS SAFER TOO, AND THERE IS A PEACE IN THAT. BE SURE TO STORE WATER AND FOOD AND SUPPLIES AS WE ARE GOING THROUGH A TUFF TIME SOON. THATS REALITY. BUT GOD IS STILL EVERYWHERE, IN THE STARS, THE SUNRISE ,AND ENJOY EACH NEW DAY, YOLO. WELL DONE ON THE HOMESTEAD.....
Loving your journey. You are living the life I wished I'd done when I was much younger. I look forward to seeing many more vlogs 😀
Peace and love back at ya. Looking good.
You guys got a big heart. first, I am a bit worry how you guys make it but you guys have everything.
What a lovely comment ❤
Well done guys, you've achieved some great projects, I lived in Alvor Portimao for 10 years, Keep up the good work 👍💙
Thank you max 🌹
your journey is awesome, hard work dedication endurance and just the love of doing things simpler.. my hats off to you my respects take care be safe have fun life is an adventure and your living it! Dan Laura to help you out wen moving those big totes around again re-invent the wheel tale scraps make wheel say20 inches in dimeter your choice make an axle out of wood post and then hook one wheel on each end of axle make two axles and then put beam in center so you have a 4 wheel cart. when done it should look like a huge H with wheels. you could either push or pull it. it should roll fine if you make the wheels thick enough.
Thanks Gary 🤗
So amazing what you have achieved in such a short time, well done and looking forward to the next episode 👍
Hello what county is that a see oil tree very beautiful is like Spain my iam from Greece
Very nice. Everyone should live like this. I've seen a lot of great solo projects, but I think it's real living when these couples venture out.
Thanks for the lovely comment hope you well x
Thank you. Throughly enjoyed that video. So proud of you both ❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
Awesome amount of progress you have made in such a short time. Can't wait for the next 3 months' progress. One thing though, you may want to put a black cover over the ibc to stop bacteria/algea growth in the water.
Thanks Kevin 😀
This is absolutely awesome! You two have transformed the abandoned farm and created a homestead in such a short space of time
Thanks so much 😀
