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

The House with No Name
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 π€¦π€¦
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 ππ
Happy Sunday and see you in the week

Morning guys! EXCITING.... π€©
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! π΅πΉ)
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

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

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

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
