After we’d already completed the construction of the stone cabin’s new roof, we discovered that our roof timbers were undersized (thanks to a few misordered building materials). NOT the news you want as an amateur DIYer building your own home! The solution - two huge wooden purlins. Our stone tiny house is already pretty small, so we really didn’t want to give up additional headroom on our DIY mezzanine...so, we got a second opinion, & hoped for a different outcome!

Ricky’s traditional stonework skills get put to the test in awkward spaces & working at height in the sweltering Portuguese summer heat. Meanwhile Victoria tries out some new homesteading preserving skills with produce straight from our own little farm!

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