In this episode of our stone house renovation, we’re continuing the journey of building our home in the countryside of Portugal. We focus on cladding a concrete block wall with stones to create a rustic, natural finish and begin building a small roof to protect our outdoor utility area. Building an off-grid home comes with unique challenges, but each step brings us closer to realizing our dream of a sustainable, countryside lifestyle. Join us as we transform our abandoned farm into a beautiful, functional space!

we are super happy with the new results so far. we would have not been able to achieve the same level of quality at all! Yes, that week was a stressful one here. I’m glad autumn is here!

@@TheIndigoEscape the fires were horrible thank God we got rained upon but still many lost souls human and otherwise. Simon is a gem! Keep him happy...are you going to the Venezuelan Rally tomorrow?

@TheIndigoEscape 25 минут назад

I’m not able to go tomorrow. we did go to the one in Aveiro last time which was nice and then went to a Venezuelan restaurant. I didn’t know there were so many Venezuelans in this area. there was another in Lisbon and in Porto but Aveiro was the closest to us.

Simon is an artist in the finest sense. I really have garden envy as growing stuff in Florida in the summer is near impossible.

@TheIndigoEscape 2 часа назад

really? I would have thought it would be okay in Florida? why is that?

@triciazimmerman3522 Час назад

@@TheIndigoEscape just too hot and the never ending battle against bugs and humidity. I'm sure there are people who have conquered those issues but I'm not in that crowd.

@TheIndigoEscape 23 минуты назад

have you tried shade netting? next year I’m going to invest in some long shade netting to cover the plants during the hottest days so the soil doesn’t dry so quickly. Maybe long rows of shade netting will help.

Hi folks, Simon's stonework is beautiful. Thankyou for answering of questions last video. Your mum is so sweet. I am Australian so we know how devastating wild-fires can be. We always hold our breaths when we have a particularly dry winter and head into summer. I have lived in areas where I have experienced fires on both sides of the road I was leading horses down it was terrifying. The fire moving up the valleys towards us sounded like a freight train coming. The area was right on the edge of Sydney NSW. Always remember to never leave it too late to leave if you have too. The fire-fighters are the true heroes as they put themselves at the forefront protecting others and property. Floods can be bad too especially if you live in areas with river systems. I live in Bundaberg Queensland and it's a beautiful regional town close to the ocean. I love your videos and admired how you built your mum her own little home. It shows you both value family. Cheers from Aussie ❤

Looking forward to watching this latest vlog in a bit but i just had to shout out to say how much i love your thumbnail, it'ts beautifully retro to my 1970s and looks like you're about to drop your latest album❣ *chef's kiss*

@SonyaTucker98 4 часа назад

Hello beautiful people and fur babies. I honestly can't get over just how much these stone walls grow from week to week especially knowing just how much work and time goes into laying each stone. When does the weather start to change for the fall/winter?, so glad the rain has arrived to help put out the wild fires, So glad you are all safe and well and escaped the wild fires!. What do you guys do to safeguard your land?, and just wondering if you have a water collection system for your garden etc? (Sorry for all the questions)❤ Great video and detailed content as usual😊 So love that Mum wants to have a go at all different things, she's really coming out of her shell on camera now. Do you have a postal box address please?. Looking forward to seeing the roof take shape for your outside utility area. Best wishes to you all ❤😊

@louiseupton3363 6 часов назад

Wow!! Incredible progress you guy's and everything is looking stunning 😍 You are coming along in leaps and bounds, despite the awful fires putting a stop to work. Not even the welcome rain is slowing you down. 👏👌👍 Your cosmos is looking beautiful, I'm a bit late in planting mine, but I'm going to anyway 😅

@LazyLightning56 Час назад

Your mother is becoming more and more invested in your home. She's working hard!

@donzinette 5 часов назад

The house is sure coming along. I can't believe how patient Simon is! So glad that you guys were safe from the fires. We know all too well about the fires here in Central British Columbia, Canada where in 2017 the fires were so bad that we had to evacuate our herd of Highland cattle. No fun and very scary.

Lufa is a nice vegetables too, just sauté it in garlic and onions then add some shrimps and your lufa. Taste really good!!!

@izabela914 6 часов назад

It’s very nice to see the progress of your homes! I have a question. I was wondering if you’d need to put a barrier between the cement bricks and the stone wall so moisture doesn’t permeate inside the house and have infiltration problem like it happened in your mom’s bedroom? I’m not an expert, so I just wanted to understand better 😊 Love watching your videos ❤

@Cathy-ty3fp 4 часа назад

Can you not bring the roof out more, so that if it’s raining while doing laundry. You stay dry 🤷‍♀️🤣

Why do we always see Simon finishing the stone wall without your help, and the house is yours and Omar's? I think if you helped him, you could finish the wall in a short time, instead of being busy with the carpentry.

@TheIndigoEscape 2 часа назад

we already answer you first comment. We tried to do some of the wall and stopped because we cannot achieve the standard Simon has. would be a huge waste of time for him to them trying to fix our mistakes.

@TheIndigoEscape 3 часа назад

Why would we assist someone skilled in a job they've been doing for years? When an electrician or plumber comes to your home to work, do you step in to help them? We focus on what we know how to do and leave tasks we’re inexperienced with to professionals. For our renovation, we hire experts and pay them to handle the jobs we can't do ourselves. We did do a section of the stones and it does look half as good as Simon’s. It takes years to learn that.

many people have asked if they could hire him! He is booked with us for a while though. I’m glad he is working in our house. Finding skilled people is really hard.
