What Did We DO in a Year? Portugal Renovation Timelapse 

I have no doubts your will eventually reach your objectives. You already have done an amazing amount of hard work. It may sound a bit cliché or jaded to say this. But the fact is that you have . Looking back at this condensed version of your hard work... it is amazing. And you both always seem to present a happy disposition. Your individual sense of humour complements each other. Your slightly dry remarks and your wife's genuine short bursts of laughter making light of a serious situation... and both of u plodding determinedly on. You have my admiration for your determination and hard work. Have no doubts you will continue to flourish in your adopted country and life style. Thanks for making a window into your life. It is educative and a lot more interesting and wholesome to watch than modern tv. I look forward to your next video . I vicariously partake of your satisfaction with your life there.

Your wife deserves a medal she is doing most of the heavy work I salute her

That was absolutely outstanding! So pleased the French drain worked too. Here's to a fabulous 2023. Much love and good fortune to you both. 🌞

You know what I like about all of these projects, is how slim & healthy the two of you are looking❤❤❤

My partner and I love to watch your videos! Very inspiring!

That French drain around the house was a MASSIVE LOAD OF WORK! Very, very well done you guys! I was quoted $10,000 to put a French drain around my old house, and to install new vapor barrier in the crawl space.

You have no idea how much I appreciate your attention to detail and your aim and fastidiousness to get things right (and all the understandable gruntings that go along with it ha) the first time or rectify things as soon as you learn how to do things better. I'm glad you have the "push" to do most of the work yourselves because it's just awful to contract work to someone else who mostly operate on minimally acceptable standards as opposed to highest. Sharing you vision, pain and anticipation of the finished product!

Finally found you after being stranded on your previous channel! Amazing job as always!

you are my favorite type of a movie genre: epic. intellectual. thriller. such a treat.

Okay, I'll say it ... that was unbelievably freaking fabulously, outlandishly brilliant and wonderful.

You should be proud of what you have achieved in only a year, Hatts off mate keep doing what you're doing & growing and I enjoy watching from Down Under.

I thought I work hard, but this is a hard working lady. I admire you strength, you motivate me to do more. A lovely couple indeed ❣️.

Super video. Your truly both awesome and real grafters. 72 year old carpenter joiner here. I've done every conceivable types of construction work as a multi skill tradesmen. Well done both. One thing is watching videos of other people carrying out work. The 2nd thing is actually doing it yourself. Great work in every respect both of you.

Building that Chickencoop is a fine testament to your building skills!

The amount of sheer bull labour that you two do is phenomenal

The algorithm introduced us today. I’m just sorry that 70.7k people found you first. Hello from Vancouver Island Canada 🇨🇦

I've watched every one of your videos, and seeing this summary reminds me of a few important points. You did a lot of research and planning. You had the resources to purchase the equipment and materials you needed. You did a hellava lot of hard manual labor. You have realistic goals, and though there will always be improvement projects, you can make this your "forever home". Your video diary will be very useful for others who aspire to do the same.

I am so proud to see you guys working so hard to have your house and grow land. Love yo have a place like it in Portugal. I live in USA and decided to retiree in Braga never been in there. Your experience is amazing. Congratulations for everything your did together. God bless you and your husband. ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

I love when she said “bye” thank you guys

This is the first video I've seen and OH MAN. ... I don't know how old you are but that is a serious amount of back braking, bone crushing physical labour you guys did. VERY impressive.

Amazing re-cap of the past year. Here's to 2023 Kylie & Guy.

Well done! Hope 2023 treats you well!

Wonderful summary of some back breaking satisfying progress (from my couch)

Even though I've watched every episode in 2022, it was still amazing to watch all your hard work rolled into one compilation. You've achieved so much.

You guys are awesome! what a great example of what people can do when they put their back into it. And for a couple of IT people, kudos for trying all that construction work by yourselves. Congratulations! I'm a bit far away (in Sintra), but I do enjoy this kind of endeavors, and If you need a pair of hands for a bigger weekend project, I would be glad to help

I’m in awe of all the VERY hard work you’ve done.

So inspiring for a person like me , I lived in a village as a kid , enjoying traditional farming… lived my chunk of my life in Bombay … crazy city life ( never enjoyed the concrete jungle)… now moved for good to a big city like ATL but this city is different even though I live in middle of the city but it’s like I am still inside a village … finally planning to get into serious planting vegetables around my half acre property … thanks for the inspiration 🙏

The Love , Sweat , and Tears You Two Have Put into this Ultimate Project is Beyond Belief and Your Talents and "Know How" are Purely Honorably and Stand Alone ! Beautifully Filmed ; and is a Treat to Watch ,Bravo , Well Done... Do I Need a Huge Orchard or Tree Plantation,,Etc.Soon toBe a Company of Others and Run Amuck , ? I'm Sure , your Not Finished and at this Point in Time as I Watch , Tells Me You've Got Good Reason to Hold You'rs Heads Up High !

I accidentally stumbled on your channel and spent the last four hours watching both of you achieve a miracle while facing several obstacles. Your background was in IT, the house was old and falling apart, and the land needed an enormous amount of work, in addition to living in a tent, cooking outside in the rain, and having no lavatory. I applaud your determination to work together and complete your goal. I look forward to watching your next video.

Sitting here, with my wine, watching your year in review for the second time, I was again thoroughly impressed with your work ethic . Watching your changes is fascinating to me. Thank for sharing.❤️🍷🇨🇦

Thoroughly enjoyed the journey and the humor. Thanks. 10:18pm , February 7, 2023

Oh but your willpower seems inexhaustible. I put off watching this for hours as I'd expected a visit and wished to have an uninterrupted viewing experience. Also, I mostly feel immensely less adequate watching you two working miracles with everything you touch. You are so inspirational. I'm 57 and want to be like you when I grow up. Fantastic work.

I commend all of your hard work, looks wonderful.

Wow! The heroes of your own story. Congratulations on your achievements.

Your best video so far! Well done!

You guys should be very proud of yourself, so much done in a year.

Amazing year, looking forward to see what you do in 2023 x

I have just finished watching you total video. You two are amazing.Your work ethic just makes my old body hurt.!!!!!!!!!!!!Y

Wonderful, thank you. Graft, trial & error, commonsense, give-it-a-go, learning, understanding (a bit more), stupidity, and laughter. I went back in time, ... along way back. Swear I also felt wind, rain, sunshine, heat, cold and smells. Amazing what you can put on video these days, ... I never knew... Magnificent. Hugely inspirational. Compelling. Thoroughly cheered me up. Thank you and best wishes.

*Kia ora (hello) Kylie & Guy, you both have done so much in such a short time... now take some time off for yourself over the holiday break to regain your energy levels again.*

Enjoying your video with my morning coffee. So much accomplished, so much more amazing reno on the way. Cheers to 2 people who are not afraid of hard work!

As a Portuguese that traded our sunny country for the quick pace of London ... I just have to say: I cant wait until I can save some money and do EXACTLY what you decided to do with your lives. Starlink and all 😁

Congratulations guys. Absolutely impressive. Keeping fingers crossed for a flushing toilet in 2023 🙂

Sweet sister , great sense of humor .😄The cat thinks that sweet little chicken house or coop is for their furry lounging .🐓🐈‍⬛

Amazing how calm you are when problems come up!

5 mins in and my nearly 3 yr old grandson came and sat on my lap for the remander, thank you for the video, top progress well done keep it up :)

Amazing. I'd also love to know how you both manage to stay friends through thick and thin, and when you're together 24 hours a day. I imagine that with so many chances for frustration or disagreement, that each is also an opportunity for strengthening your relationship at the same time? Hats off to you both, can't wait to see the next 12 months of progress and when the day comes that it all starts pay off when you move in.

I hope you folks had a well deserved rest over the Holidays as you have a busy 23 ahead.

You guys are amazing. I've never seen a woman work so hard in all my life!

What a fantastic video diary ...full of admiration... you're the best

Senhor..! Aguardente.!!! Que coisa..!! Kkkk Mas, aquelas laranjas..! Eu ficava no céu..!! ❤❤❤❤

Perfect example of " If you want it done right Do it yourself" !!! What a team. Just can't figure out which one of you does the most work . 🤣🤣🤣

As with anything, there are good quality plumbing fixtures and those that are not so good. With all the work you have put into your floor, it would definitely make sense to install something that you trust to do the job and that will last for years. This is where the old adage "You get what you pay for" comes in. Good luck with your project.

That's amazing I just felt exhausted when you two were working since I also do Farming and such handly works. It was an encouragement to move on

The growing is so fantastic.

Love the rock music, represents the blood, sweat and tears you must have gone through. You must be so proud of what you've both done.

I live in Portugal Leiria, near Porto de Mós. If you guys looked houses in Central Portugal, you probably know of this area. I don't live in a particular old house, our parents house is from 1990's. I'm a huge fan and overall enthusiast of these particular houses from 40's until about 70's. My dream is to defenitely buy one and live in it. These videos give you a perspective of how much work renovating a house like this can be. I was delighted to watch this series of looking for houses, your reactions are funny because you're not really used to this architectural style, however, we both share the same interests. I wish you all the best of luck for your future projects and dreams.

I gotta say!! really good video, great story. LOVE IT!! keep it going. I am Portuguese American, (born in USA, raised in Pt). I moved back to Portugal in 2019. So I kinda relate but different story. All the best!

Thank you! Your videos are always fun and inspirational to watch. Looking forward seeing your plans for 2023. Keep the good work and humour up!

Wow! It’s a good thing you’re young,healthy and dedicated. Amazing amount of work.I enjoy watching .

You two are an inspiration.If you can do it, I can do it. Don't rely on trades people. You can do it better than them.God bless you both for 2023.

What a great year that was for your make.do.grow. I loved the dramatic music during the digging timestamp parts. You've both done really well in everything you've accomplished so far. I'm loving joining you on your journey thank you. All the best for 2023 xx

How amazing what you have accomplished in a year! You are an amazing couple! I wish you all the best and most of all joy and happiness! To a good 2023.

Eu quero saber onde essa mulher consegue tanta força, é muito trabalho, mas vale a pena. Parabéns ao casal 👏👏👏

Congratulations 👏, it wasn't easy to reach this result, you are warriors💪💪. I wish you all the best. May 2023 be of great achievements 🙏🥰💚🌺 Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷.

I have a pretty small garden, that I have grown food on. The best advice I was given by an elderly gent was, always use the companion growing method as it reduces the amount of work you have to do. e.g. Grow corn with green beans or peas, as the corn provides upright growth space for the green beans/peas to grow up and they provide nitrogen for the corn at it's roots. Carrots should be grown with strong smelling plants as the scent of, for example garlic or marigolds, covers up the smell of the carrots, so the carrot fly are less likely to find the carrots to lay its eggs on. It's worked well for me.

Hi 🤘🏼 seeing it fly by like this 2 things stand out. First, you worked incredibly hard and second, not one grain of sand was out of place 😂 WoW…can’t wait for the final reveal although I also hope it will be a 10 year plan 😉 keep the videos coming 🎉

the timelapse part for the second layer of the flooring i can't believe you have the image of moving clouds inside the room like inside of a basic camera that was amazing

Wow!! What amazing work in just one year you two. I look forward to watching your 2023 achievements 😉 Happy New Year 🎉

With all the caring and sweat equity I do hope this is your forever home. Loved the video.

You will never regret ! Great job guys, best wishes from me .

Какие вы молодцы, сильные смелые. Какой же это труд всё делать своими. И какая вы пара интересная, трудолюбивая. Просто получила море удовольствия смотреть вас

Absolutely marvellous effort by both of you. Regards from Australia 🦜

Gosto muito de tudo o que fazem na vossa propriedade Só vos encontrei agora. Não vou parar de seguir-vos. Bem vindos a Portugal. Espero que sejam muito felizes aqui connosco. ❤.

You both should be supremely proud! I've been popping back every now and again. So happy to see this. P.S. Re: Corks. Our collection is out of control. You're not living in Souther Europe unless you collect one! P.S.S. Consider runner ducks. 300+ eggs a year, awesome eggs for baking, great affection pets, eat the bugs in veggie garden AND consider planting hardy origano plants around the chicken coup. Natural pesticide for chickens. I have the attention span of a goldfish, yet watched this entire video ❤

Sorry about the plumbing redo but you did it and learned more about plumbing in the process and it still cost less than hiring a plumber. So well done you should be very proud. You guys do a lot of work. I like seeing the progress!

Watching this reminds me of a project my then partner and I did in France before the turn of the century..... I spent every holiday, every long weekend in the French Alps. We weren't married and when he cheated on me and we seperated, he kept it all..... I am takin my hat off to you .... both !

Love your channel and can't wait to see what comes next💜🧡❤

Que trabalho magnifico! I have no doubts your will eventually reach your objectives with the house. A vossa força de vontade é enorme!

Just watching this before my Nanna nap, I have watched pretty much all of your videos but this time lapse……phew! Very,very impressive. Great job!

I’ve been watching since the beginning and I enjoy every minute of it!

You 2 are a powerhouse. This new year is going to be another strong year.

You both are doing great! I have been working on renovating and expanding my own property for 5 years now. While suffering multiple depressions. But thank fully with the help of my dad, i keep making progress and finish projects time to time. These things take time, but are so satisfying! I love your vids and the work you are doing, keep it up!!!

Amazing 😍 x

These views give me such a feeling!

What stunning veggies Enjoy All your work is beautiful ❤️

I kinda like the stone walls without the plaster. But I guess you may end up with a lot of dust in the room, maybe? The incredible work you guys put in, is just remarkable! My back started to hurt just watching you all just 5 minutes into the video. You guys are strong and determined. I thought you guys would cheat a bit and hire some help and just film once it was completed. But nope! You guys are really doing it all! Kudos to you guys! Something to very proud of, and will become the history of the house for generations to come. It is going to be so beautiful when completed as you guys are very talented. The farm is just such beautiful piece of paradise. Yes, take time to enjoy the journey and not just getting to the destination. Cheers from the US.

You two... what can I say? You are amazing and I bet a total hoot to hang out with!!! "Great job" hardly describes your accomplishments!!

The humour is priceless.

WOW when it is put into this timeline of year end I can see it was as incredible all lumped together as it was watching each video you put out.. Absolutely an incredible year for you two.. Well done and what an outstanding collage timeline. Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for you two. YOU BOTH should be so proud.

Just incredibly fabulous! I saw this video while enjoying my morning cup of coffee..in Canada.. so delightfully relaxing. Excellent job!

Just a fantastic piece of work, humour, feeling and love for life!

Brilliant videography and scripting making for an absorbing documentary, as well as achieving so much with your new home.

Okay..! I’m not afraid that you’ve bitten off more than you can chew..!! If you built that FABULOUS SPECIMEN of a ‘casa das galinhas’.. I have NO DOUBT your main house will be AB FAB in NO TIME AT ALL..!! ❤❤❤❤ That car episode was too funny..! Keep up the good work..! It will all be worth it..! Looks terrific so far..! Kudos… e parabéns com todo..!! ❤️👍🏻❤️👍🏻❤️

Hello there! I've been following your journey for quite some time now and I must admit that the way you create and edit the videos has improved greatly. I personally find Guy's voice very soothing and calming, I really like how he narrates throughout the video. Also, I want to point out how genuine and lovely it is every time Kylie laughs on the video, that laughter always gets me. You both seem to be very down-to-earth and natural people and it's something that makes me come back to watch your videos every time you upload a new one. Can't wait to see how far you progress this year, and how you overcome all the challenges that appear while rebuilding that beautiful house and land. (Sorry if there are grammar mistakes, non-native speaker here.)

Love, love, love watching your videos and your very clear and precise explanations and descriptions. You two are amazing.

What you two are creating, is only what I can dream of... I love it. All of it... Amazing.

epic year! you guys must be proud!

Great job! You two are very inspiring! Many will not find out the amazing reward of doing projects and putting in hard work together as couple as you both know. You learn so much and it deepens your relationship.
