This week sees a HUGE TRANSFORMATION on our stone home renovation project! After months of blood, sweat and tears on this stone house restoration to give our old house the new roof that she deserves, the wait is finally over and we can lay the beautiful NEW terracotta tiles!

But after realising how wonky the angles are on the ancient granite stone walls, we are still pretty nervous to find out if the tiles will look good in the end! (…and if we can actually manage to lift all 3500lb of them on to the roof by ourselves! 😂)

LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Central Portugal & the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone cottage, setting up systems to grow some of our own food & 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.
