WE BOUGHT AN ABANDONED FARM With Stone Houses to Renovate in Portugal | YEAR TWO

Our 2nd year renovating our abandoned farm in Portugal turned into a 30 minute renovation timelapse! Head to https://squarespace.com/lifebyliving to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code LIFEBYLIVING After selling EVERYTHING we owned, we bought an abandoned farm with 2 stone houses to renovate in Portugal...& we're doing it all with no experience! 😬 Now at the end of our 2nd year working on the farm & stone cabin restoration in our spare time, we've been reflecting on how much we've learnt & how much has changed in that time. So we thought we'd put together a collection of everything we built on our abandoned land & condense 1 year of work into a 30 minute homestead renovation timelapse! It's only when we stop & look back that we realise how far we've come & we can really appreciate this wild journey that we're on! We hope you enjoy this year recap & if you do, LIKE THIS VIDEO & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as this next year will be our most exciting one yet as we complete the tiny house & move in, ready to start renovating the main farm house! Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊 Ricky & Victoria x ------------- We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful Portuguese 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. ------------- 00:00 - Intro 00:42 - Bricking up stone cabin roof 02:35 - Building the vegetable garden 03:08 - Adding tile overhang 03:37 - Rebuilding under the windows 04:55 - Removing windows & building new sills 06:12 - Rendering brickwork (chapisco) 07:14 - Adding drip irrigation 08:11 - Squarespace 09:09 - Rendering brickwork (finish coat) 10:32 - Installing new window wills 11:57 - Building workbenches 12:43 - Building custom window shutters 14:39 - Fitting shutters 15:28 - Doubling our solar power 17:45 - Demolishing the old floor 18:40 - Laying new concrete subfloor 20:46 - Picking olives 21:20 - French drain 23:14 - Repointing with lime mortar 25:22 - First fix electrics 26:50 - Drywall the vaulted ceiling 28:47 - Wiring downlights 29:28 - Thanks for watching #timelapse #abandonedfarm #houserenovation
