Hello and welcome to our channel. We are two simple people, realizing our dreams one step at a time, and sometimes ten steps at a time. We share with you our projects of forest restoration and ruine rebuilding in Central Portugal and building a round log house in Poland. We have not much experience or expertise, and a tight budget, but the desire to be in and with nature, and to contribute to a more sustainable future, helps us to move mountains.
Forest Dwelling Project: Extension Walls
We're building a small extension (3x3m) to the house with a similar style of making walls from trees from the land. These are fresh cut, not seasoned trees, so pretty heavy. First part of lifting the logs is not yet on video.

Making a bamboo sliding door from kitchen counter top
zhlédnutí 138Před 5 měsíci
To save space we wanted a sliding door but not an ugly one. We bought two bamboo kitchen counter tops and the required tools and put them together into a door of the right size. Not all steps were caught on video.

Portugal project: little tour

In September I was on my own in Portugal, clearing the land with simply a small hand saw and hand scythe. After few years the brambles and mimosa finally start to reduce.

We haven't uploaded a video for a long time. We have been making videos but editing has not yet happened. We have still many plans for the building, but are taking a bit a calmer time to regain energy for the next steps. Here is a short overview of what we have done in the meantime.
Portugal Project: maintenance update
zhlédnutí 180Před rokem
Visit to our off the grid tiny house in Central Portugal to maintain the land and the house. Luckily the weather was mild with a few days of rain. Now 5 years after the 2019 fires, native trees start to grow back nicely.
Viking buildings in Sweden

A visit to the archeological Viking site in Gamla Uppsala, Sweden. Interesting wooden buildings and roofs.
Forest dwelling project (month 26): hammock floor
zhlédnutí 280Před rokem
From the mezzanine we have an amazing view through the windows upstairs and we didn't want to obscure the view with a balustrade. We mostly considered a glass balustrade but were concerned about the weight that it brings on the structure, and it is also pricey. We then remembered some tiny house videos with loft netting, or hammock floor. These are usually square and that clearly doesn't work f...
Snow and no electricity, get used to it
zhlédnutí 101Před rokem
It is quite common here in Poland (even close to Warsaw) that electricity breaks down when there is storm or a lot of snow. Not all villages have good power cables. I was just into making a video about how we heat the house when the electricity went off, and stayed off for the next 8h... i learned, for heating we are prepared but for light and cooking not. As power cuts will happen more often w...

Love it, what is the diameter of the circle, length of the roof logs, I am looking forward to using it for my build. Thank you very much
Hi, the diameter of the skylight is 1m. I think the rafters were 8m or longer, but the length will depend on the angle that you want to make.
❤ermoso trabajo ❤️🙏
Idiot music. Explains nothing.
świetna robota, można wiedzieć co to za tarcza do szlifierki kątowej? pozdrawiam!
Hi, I'm not sure of the name. We call it "Sparky". It's a large metal sanding disc. It cuts whole chunks away. Thereafter we sand with discs with 40, 80 and 120 fineness. Last step was the finest sand paper. we use 2 different angle grinders (DeWalt and Bosch) and a DeWalt sanding machine for the last sanding phase
@@dreamforagers2906 thank you!
😊 Thumbs up from France 🇫🇷 👍
Oye aprovecha la fuerza del río 🤷♀️ y monta un molino pequeño, solo para ti.. y tienes luz...
Did you cut a hole in the EPDM to put the drain pipe through? How did you flash or seal around the pipe?
Yes, the EDPM was cut. Then, the groove is covered with adhesive butyl tape.
beautiful simplicity, splendid isolation💜
it looks cold outside
Well done!! we are so impressed!! xox
Hello, I'm planning to build a similar house myself but is struggling with the roof ventilation/condition due to cold weather. May I ask how you handle condensation building up underneath the EPDM rubber on your roof?
Hello, we have some inside condensation against the windows but not on the roof. There are no signs of condensation on the ceiling. We have 2.5mm wood, then 0.4mm foil, then 40cm layer perlit in bags and then EDPM.
Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the LooseNatural farm in Andalusia Spain where we currently live through a drought and we are creating swales
Vloog daar een ijsvogeltje door het beeld? :D
Nee, een mooie blauwe libelle. Vergeten de foto ervan in de video te stoppen.
😊
very cool :D but why do you put saw dust in between?
Hi, a bit late reply, but we just followed existing recommendations. I think for isolation and extra stability of the walls, especially when there are quite some distances between the logs
@@dreamforagers2906 tanx :)
Что в этих мешках?
The bags have perlite. It's a natural light isolating material.
Грызуны не заведуется по середине?
Es la mejor y prolija manera de hacer este trabajo asta ahora, te felicito!!
Witam. Belki są na samej górze skręcone wkrętami ?
Tak
ah just stumbled over your channel (YT thought I should see it) so you are only in Portugal now and then or are the plan to move there permanently? I see you got a sweet location in Poland too?
Hi, we live in Poland now and are only few times a year in Portugal. We started the project in Portugal when we were still living in Austria and had no clue that we would have our own piece of land in Poland only 3 years later. Things went a bit different than planned, but in a good way!
@@dreamforagers2906 aah okay, what are the plans with the Portugal property then? keep? sell? rent out? could be interested if it was, you got a mail to reach you on?
And safety has flown out the window!
very cool roof.
wow roof
Looks amazing!!! Great place to stay!!!
That's an idea yes men. Easy and it looks amazing too so you can walk on it and you can reach the windows ans most important more safety.
Get some goats for land clearing! It's like an army of gardeners 🐐
I think the wild goats that are there are so fat from eating Mimosa and brambles that they can't jump the mountain anymore :p These wild goats are very shy and I haven't seen them in a while but their poo is everywhere, so they do help with browsing.
you can make that fast river into free electric
Indeed! We have been thinking of a water pump but are still looking into the options. So far we mostly manage without electricity. Solar would be good as well!
@Dream Foragers water turbine would generate constant power 24/7. Installation much less expensive than solar panels. Good luck and cheers!
@@davidfrederick2394 Indeed, we have to try! Only the stream is much more shallow in the warm seasons and in summer is 2 months dry in summer.
looks fabulous, show more!
Thanks! I'll make a longer video later on.
works for freshly cut trees only. if is week or more or trees with bark eating bugs you have to find a different way.
Hi, it also worked on trees cut even 6 months before, but seemed to depend on the type of pine and the weather.
Thats amazing, you are huge inspiration for me. I wish you all the best. Beautiful home you have😍
me gusta el trabojo que haces yo e pensado hacer mi cabaña hasi en ese estilo de pared todo artesanal
What kind of clay mixture is used?
It looks amazing. Question: how the temprature is holding in the house now the outside goes down for some degrees celsius?
In summer it was really cool inside the building and currently it is keeping a comfortable temperatuur inside. We have to see what happens when winter really starts but we have the floor and ceiling quite well insulated and will have floor heating and a fire place.
I don't care if it is you and your friends, SAFETY FIRST. The guy at 4:15 who climbs up the scaffold and the stands outside (!!) of the building to hold the rafter, WTF.
13 sek really ?
Technical error!
That looks amazing. That will give the enviroment a very special air smell and flow. It will control the humidity in a healthy way, believe me.
Thanks! Hope so too
I find it fascinating how easily the bark let loose in strokes as soon as you have a beginning
What are you gonna make from it?
How can i join this movement
1minute lohnt sich nicht zum zeigen ! Ihr habt sicher mehr , so 30 - 45 min das wäre super . Die Videos sind aber sehr intressant. Viele Grüße aus der Schweiz ! Daniel
Danke! Wir haben mehr, aber nicht soviel Zeit 😅 We first have to finish building the house before we can take really the time for video editing to make CZcams videos ;)
Beautifull place, hope to do the same someday somewhere in nature too
This reminds me living off grid in Portugal couple of years ago. Such a beautiful place to live a peaceful life. Wish you could share much more beautiful videos in future!
Maravilha...Excelente idéia e uma beleza de execução...Parabéns a TODOS...Abraços...
That's a smart concept 🙂 and it's looking really cute 😍 Irene, it's giving me Efteling vibes. 😄 Looking forward to seeing the result! 👌

With lights it really gets a housy 🏡 feeling instead of a big camping 🏕️
Bhp? Nie wiem, nie znam, nie słyszałem 😉😀!
Thanks.. We know.. over time the safety equipment gets less used. The downside of getting (too) confident.
Yayyy for the bath and the promiss of floor heating ! Must be nice to work in the warmth of the wood stove.
please make longer videos! 🤗 i think you have more stuff then 2 min 😉
Thanks. We have indeed much more - but are lacking 'a bit' in time to make videos, so it often become short videos made late at night. Glad to hear it is not too long at least. :)
