Summer Days on Our Little Farm Renovating an Old Stone Cabin

Published 2024-07-21
The beautiful stone house has been ruined in the past with messy concrete pointing, but bit by bit we're repairing & stripping it back to reveal the original walls & give our tiny house the transformation it deserves!
Elsewhere on the farm, the intense summer heat is causing our veg garden to struggle so we need to act now & rescue our plant babies before the sun overwhelms them. 🌞
LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it and SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Portugal and the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone home, setting up systems to grow some of our own food and finally restoring the 100+ year old farm house.
Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊

We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned off grid Portuguese farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful homestead for us & our two rescue dogs Teddy & Poppy.
We both agree that we’re not experts in anything that we do here, however we don’t let that stop us from giving it a try. We live our life by trying. We live our life by doing. We live our LIFE BY LIVING.

Greetings from Brittany France 🇫🇷. Good luck! My husband and I (late 60's) renovated an old broken down longère and 7000 sq meters wild land. It's amazing what one can do when you are determined! Took us 3 hard years and we still busy with odd jobs!

I always use a drill post hole digger to get posts down three feet and put concrete around it after it is leveled.

Very impressed with the job you have done filling those window stone holes. Keep up the grest v-logs, I am thoroughly enjoying your content and banter. I learn something each time and sometimes I shout at the screen "Why are you doing it like that?" Then I see the finished article and then I go "Ahhhhhh."

You have done such a fabulous job on that little cottage. When you are done you will have friends come and visit you and never leave.

Greetings from Scotland - watching you from early days and pleased to see how your viewership has increased !! Slip off to the beaches one day and show folks all the great things about Portugal.

You can replace the whole carburetor on that weed eater and it will run great. Just find the part number and order a new one online. Take the old one off and DONE!!!

Things to check for: 1) spark plug fouled or corroded (clean\regap\replace) 2) fuel line\fuel filter clogged (clean\replace) 3) water in fuel (drain and refill tank)

The new brackets certainly look like they should do the job, looking forward to their arrival and installation. Thanks folks for another great insight into your lives.

Aah a proper sewist with a Bernina. Excellent choice Victoria, it will pay for itself in no time. If it can’t do something nothing will❤❤👏👏❤❤❤❤

Early on with your courgettes bury a couple of outside leaf stems about midway. They will form roots and will keep your plant alive. Worth a try.
