The House with No Name

We're Amy and Kieran, we're renovating an abandoned house and land in Central Portugal.... And we're doing ALL the work ourselves!
We're brand new to house renovations, growing vegetables and homesteading so we have a lot of learning to do.

Follow along as we learn new skills, take on life in a new country and turn our abandoned house into the homestead we never thought we could own whilst becoming as self sufficient as we can by growing vegetables, harvesting rainwater, and everything else along the way.


The House with No Name

New video TONIGHT!
Happy Saturday, next video will be up tonight at 6:30pm, shifting things forwards a day so you can enjoy a new video on Saturday each week instead of Sundays

Been a great week of work on the tiny house renovation project, we installed the first floor beam which was challenging, most of all because of the weight (Its close to 200kg)

Enjoy, have a great weekend and see you tonight at 6:30pm

Afternoon guys!!
No video this evening, we had a really fun video where we took some overgrown padron peppers and made hot sauce (Because they were SPICY) but had some audio problems so none of it was really usable 🀦🀦

We'll be back on Thursday next week with another video, we've started work on the fence along one boundary by cutting fence posts (From more mimosa trees that we cut down). So Thursdays' video will be work on the fence and turning it into a productive boundary by growing vining plants on it!


Also, pulled the first potato plant out the ground this morning - hopefully the rest of them are slightly larger πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚


Happy Sunday and see you in the week

Morning guys! EXCITING.... 🀩
We've got another video coming TONIGHT at 6:30pm (GMT +0100)

A full tour of the garden and everything we're growing on our half acre homestead


SUBTITLES
Update on the subtitles, sorted it out so tonights video should have full and translated subtitles for those watching not in English (Our Portuguese isn't quite good enough yet to do a full video! πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή)
Still working on adding subtitles to the last 3-4 videos but hopefully will have those sorted soon


AND we'll also have our normal weekly video coming on Sunday this week too where we've been working on cutting down trees so we can re-build the roof on the tiny house using trees from our own forest - How COOL is that?!?!

Anyway, full June Garden Tour tonight at 6:30pm
See you then

Been a big week in the garden, expanding the growing operation by finally getting our fruit trees in the ground

We added a few rows direct into the soil and planted some herbs into pots

The current seedlings are doing great, especially the peas, peanuts and corn

See you at 6:30pm

Hey guys!
Great news, even more videos over the next two weeks because we managed to get a whole load of stuff done (Even though there's been a LOT of rain!)

So we have a few videos coming your way....

- Thursday 20th March
- Sunday 23rd March
- Thursday 27th March

All 6:30pm

We also have some VERY exciting news that we'll share soon which could mean us actually starting some of the bigger projects we want to get into - Like the roof on the separate house, the home gym and growing LOADS of vegetables and fruit trees (Although we have actually kicked the fruit trees into action already, more coming soon)

See you tonight for the next video

Internet dependant 😬

Been a busy week on the tools trying to get things done outside ahead of the weather changing AND being on cameras that weren't just our own

We're going to be on Portuguese TV next Saturday evening, on SIC πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡΅πŸ‡Ή along with our amazing agents and friends that helped us get this amazing place πŸ™ŒπŸ™


Pictures
- Yes that is a hole dug next to the bathroom, more on that in next week's video

See you this evening

Amazing Christmas present from Amy's sister and brother in law (Thanks Ria & Keir!)

We're back to weekly episodes for the next few weeks of January as we're tackling a bunch of projects whilst we're here in Portugal

On the list of projects currently:
- Install our new log fire (It's huge and heavy)
- The bathroom needs a new waste pipe and waterproofing outside
- Clear out bramble hill
- Cut through our forest (Get rid of more brambles)
- Build pantry shelves
- Build a second kitchen unit βœ…

We've made a start and you'll see what we've done on Sunday! πŸ™Œ

We've also got a really cool partnership to share with you that we're genuinely excited about because it's something we've been using ourselves, every single day for the past 3 years (Kieran has actually been using it for like 6 years)

See you on Sunday evening
