Six weeks of relentless wind & rain. Flooding. Storm damage.
And somehow… we still finished insulating the second mushroom container.

When we moved from the UK to rural Portugal, we expected challenges — but this winter tested everything. The land turned to mud, the caravan leaked, and progress felt painfully slow.

In this episode of In the Stix, we take you through the full transformation — from a cold, empty shipping container sitting in standing flood water… to a fully enclosed, insulated, off-grid workspace ready for mushroom production.

This wasn’t just a build.
It was persistence.
It was problem-solving.
And it was pushing through when quitting would have been easier.

If you’ve ever started a big project and hit a wall — this one’s for you.

What You’ll See in This Episode:

• Working through storms and flooding
• Installing insulation and internal cladding
• Building out the interior structure
• Managing setbacks in rural Portugal
• How we’re scaling our off-grid mushroom setup

We’re documenting our journey relocating from the UK to Portugal and building a more self-sufficient life — one container at a time.
