You guys should be less hard on yourself. Remember, the beauty and rustic nature of these old buildings lies in the imperfections. Not everything should be square and level. Best of luck
This was a trip down memory lane ❤ it's good to see your journey again and remember the steps you have gone through. ❤ Stay safe and keep smiling.
I loved this trip down memory lane! It's amazing how productive your first year really was! Your channel is my favorite and I always look forward to a new video each weekend. Cheers to you! 🎉
Ahhhh Miranda! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, it means a lot, really honest. Thank you for enjoying this video, I did pour my heart onto it and took me a while to make so it means so much for people to enjoy our videos. It really took me down memory lane and was so surprised about how much we did and how every little thing made us so happy.
I love watching you build your home, I have been following you both for months now and enjoy your episodes..you have come along way since you started, keep up the great work your putting in 👍🙂
Olá bom dia, foi a primeira vez que vi o vosso vídeo adorei a evolução do vosso trabalho e sim trabalhar em comunidade é muito gratificante a entre ajuda é maravilhosa continuem com essa energia positiva ... Beijinho para vocês ♥️😘🇵🇹
Hi Andrea and Omar - thanks for sharing your journey!
You two have an incredible work ethic. I have loved watching you both create a home for yourselves and mum. Beautiful piece of land, and so much potential for just about anything. Well done. Thankyou Jackery for being a leading sponsor for many 😊
Thank you Teepee! It has been quite a trip all this time here!
The window and stone wall on mom's place is gorgeous. Perfect spot to talk about the Jackery.
Great recap of year 1!!! Love the photography and personal experiences. I've watched you from almost the beginning. Can't wait to continue! Thanks for sharing your life with us! See you next time. ❤
it makes me so happy to see your comment because I recognise your photo and I know you have been here from the beginning so thank you so much for your support to us, it means a lot!
This was so interesting to me and I am sure, to many others. I love the approach you guys take to every challenge and frustration. Your self-discipline, commitment and positive attitude are to be commended. Looking forward to what's ahead! Love and prayers to you all!
I've followed you from the beginning. I have been amazed at your ability to work together and that you have not given in to any of the challenges. That says alot about your caricature and you life's goal.😂❤. Not many people can say that. We let so many things get in our way. Love you guys!
It’s nice to see people grow and move on step by step, with a little help from friends… keep it up, you are great.
I've enjoyed every single episode up to now and it's amazing to see how far you've come in such a short time. Putting your progress into a series of videos is a great idea and I look forward to the next one !
Me Too! 🙏🏾💖💐
So happy that I've followed both of you on your wonderful journey. Youve achieved with honour, grace, humor & affability. Dedication to; your goals, hard work, facing challeges shows in all you do. I hope all your dreams come true. You both desereve it.
You guys have come so far? That little charger would be perfect for my mom's c-pap if the power went out. Stay awsome❤
Congratulations on your progress! I love watching you grow as homesteaders and humans as you go through this process. Keep up the great work.
Great job! I’m surprised you don’t have a few hundred thousand subscribers! Love you guys!
I love the journey you have taken and look forward to the rest of your journey watching the construction of your future home!
Even though I've seen every video, this was amazing to look back on and remember how far you've come! Well done you guys!
To see your shear will to forge a new life with your own hands is a beautiful thing to witness. Your commitment to build and grow, learn from challenges and work together to solve and conquer is truly inspiring. I am praying for you two. Be blessed!
oh wow Rozanne, what a wonderful comment. Thank you so so so much! And for many blessings your way too!
This man works 😊 Cooking, cleaning, building 😊 well done .. it is.rare in this days❤
Hey y'all! I loved this video format! I know it was for a whole year, i hope to see it for the next years! Include the English house renovation, that is particularly in my heart for what y'all did for me! And i had know idea of your talents. A friend of the family told me, you have talented friends😂! I just love y'all and was thinking about y'all yesterday. Y'all really have accomplished a lot more than you even think!! The Jackerys look pretty good. I have seen y'all use it/them all the time. Something like that would bee brilliant for this island life! Every time the wind blows to hard, (not counting Hurricanes), the power is out!! Sometimes they, the Town, will cut it off early before a Hurricanes or Tropical Storms incase a power pole falls or a transformer blows. That way it reduces the risk of fires. Out here, if one house catches fire, you can believe 3-4 are going to burn too because of the breeze or wind. We have very strick fire rules too, like Portugal!!! I need to get me a Solar Generator. Gas ones you hear all night long and there least likley to get stolen bc you can keep them in your house and run the panels outside. STAY SAFE. XX. 🙏❤🇺🇸🇬🇧🇵🇹⛵👣🤙🤗
I'm a big fan of before and afters. Both in others' lives and mine.
It takes a special relationship to work side by side on a hugh project such as yours.
To have a community helping each other must be wonderful.
I'm looking forward to seeing your dreams come true.
Loved watching the process again as you alway miss something…..well done!
You’ve both take on a HUGE project. I’ve seen you take on some tremendous challenges. I’m looking forward to seeing your next project. Good luck to you both as you continue to build your dreams.
Wow! This is back-breaking labor, doing weed root removal by hand, doing all the concrete and woodwork with simple tools, and hard work! I cant imagine how hard this all is. You two are amazing!
Great job on your progress, definitely an inspiration to myself and my family; we moved to central Portugal last year and are loving it 😊
Great progress in your project. 🎉
You are working very hard and I really enjoy watching your show and your progress but what I really appreciate about you is respecting your mother and building her house first. This is really respectful and valuable nowadays. Have a wonderful day and thank you for respecting and helping your mother ❤
I wish to dot he same, has craftsman blood in my body but now I am 80 years disabled man. Now I can watch how you work and be happy on your behalf. Breed some tropical fruits on your farm.
Andrea and Omar - what a wonderful, supportive and happy couple you are! ❤️
Beautiful journey of your new lives in Portugal you have taken us on and continue do so.
Parabéns!
Felicidades e sucesso com os vossos projectos pela frente. 😃

Oranges only become sweet once there have been a couple of heavy overnight frosts whilst the oranges are hanging on the tree.
Without the frost cycle they stay bitter/sour. ( I live in an orange growing district in SE Australia with a similar climate to Portugal)
those are seville oranges very sour, and bitter but good for making bitter seville marmalade
you may use some of the land to grow Miscantus, and install a granular storve. This may provide you heat during winter.
You've both made amazing progress!
I absolutely love this compilation video. Takes us all back on the journey of the first year. I’d forgotten how exciting some of it was, and very interesting too. I hope this is the first of many as I can’t ever wait for your videos to drop I just can’t get enough!
Wow great job!
Great catch up video,Thankyou. Wow,so much achieved 🎉. Looking forward to further ones. 😊
Great job, wish you all the best!! If you need any help in Portugal, I am a real estate agent born in Faro (also Algarve).
You are learning so much while building your new home. Thankyou for sharing your journey with all of us.
I was delighted to see you finished your workbench on June 11 2021. My birthday. Love your content . Lots of love from Florida.
I started watching year two -never saw year one- so watching this was enjoyable to see your beginning efforts!
What a look back at your amazing 1st year! 💖
Great journey back in time, incredible to see how far you’ve come ❤
So nice to see your progress so far..... lots more to go!
Love watching you guys working so hard to make your vision come true. Love the Japanese wood burning technique too.
Absolutely stunning what you have achieved, and all the things you have learnt along the way. I know that because I saw the early steps, and you couldn't have got where you are now without learning so much. Here's wishing you an even better fourth year - you've earned it!
Um forte abraço aos dos!
Excellent catch up guys, looking forward to getting stuck into your many future projects. Onwards and upwards!
I’ve stumbled across the channel and have been hooked seeing the older dwellings in that amazing country watching you guys learn things across the way. I wish I could be doing the same thing. You guys keep up the great work!!!!
Wow you have done so much over the short time. Greetings very Bournemouth 👋
Things are coming together pretty well…thanks for sharing!😊
Love the enthusiasm. I hope you have a happy life there.
So good. I enjoy watching you guys flow and grow... ❤
I loved watching this video ss it brought bck memories of the actual build which I loved…I never missed an episode…what you have achieved is amazing…
❤
Your last video showed up as a suggested video. Really enjoyed getting caught up on your journey so far. Best of luck!
Meus queridn Andreia e Omar vocês sao geniais tem feito uma trabalho perfeito muitos parabens. Adorei este vidios e fíco à espera de mais tem sido uma aventura fantástica remodelar essas casas que estavam uma ruina.
Muito obrigado meus amigos por compartilhar tudo .
God bless you very much 🇬🇧🇬🇧❤❤❤❤
Muito Obrigada Assuncao! Ja sido uma aventura increivel para nos e ver o acontecido no ano 1 foi muito bonito!
What an amazing adventure so far! This is my introduction to your channel, I've subscribed, and will be going back and watching every video from the beginning. You brought tears to my eyes, seeing what you achieved together. What an amazing team you two are, so much accomplished. Even the rain coming right at the start of the roof tiling was helpful in it's own way, Mother Nature allowing you to know things were being placed correctly and functionally. I hope you continue to thrive and share this joyous path you have chosen in life, far in advance of completion and how you both live life in Portugal. Look forward to getting to know your neighbors, the cadence of your village, being brought along for bbqs virtually, learning how to make fig jam through watching your content and all the other wonderful things that make like a pleasure to explore.
Felicidades e muito amor, da Irlanda.
I enjoy your ongoing videos so much! Thank you for the update. Yes to Jackery!
I just found your channel I love it when a couple works together to accomplish their goals
God bless men of many talents, have a blessed year ahead. Team work will make for years of happiness.
Absolutely loved this video and seeing all that you did in the first year. The charring of the wood is so stunning. Beautifully put together and can’t wait to see a recap of year two 😊 xxx
Great to catch up on the Early Days! ❤ the celebrations of landmark accomplishments.
I'm enjoying the ride. Thank you for sharing.
Good job you guys !!
Wish you all the best in the future ..
Start planting soon
Loved watching the Timelapse ❤
Great stuff just the memories together are priceless... One thing to remember when building especially structural... Nails are flexible they bend with shrinking of timber and general setting and structural movement screws just snap off then your structure loses integrity...
Hello from South Africa. I've just found your channel and an in awe of all you have accomplished. Love the methods you used.
Thanks for the great travel and renovation vids. We have enjoyed the whole journey and look forward to many more. Oh and cheers for the Esim link, that's going to come in very handy over the next few months.
A very merry Christmas and New Year to you and your family ❤
Hello from Madrid, guys. I really enjoy watching your progress every time. Thanks for sharing.
Desde 🇪🇸 España.
Felicidades por vuestro esfuerzo y logro. Siempre os veo, pero no había escrito. 💞
Just finished the final video on my week long binge of your channel. I like to go back to the beginning when I find a new channel and get to know you properly 😊
Awesome video's, great progress and I look forward to seeing more 😊
CZcams just recomended this video to me this morning and I'm glad it did! As someone with very little experience who wants to do something similar, you guys are so inspiring!
Thank you Natalie! We also have very little experience so when you can, go for it!
What a great video Thanks. What a beautiful couple you are.
You guys make an awesome team, and inspire me to keep searching for my dream land and the Queen to be beside me to help me achieve the goal of my own Ranch style homestead!
Keep up the great work and stay close for life💪🏾
Thank you! It has taken a while to get there but it is definitely doable. Just take your time finding the right place and then take it from there ❤️
I really enjoyed this recap! 🎉 So good to see how far you've come and looking forward to more video's...🎉
Well done guys! Such an inspiration to those who long to follow a similar path.
Want to say the best Chanel by far love n enjoy your content... please keep us posted

Thank you, for sharing your journey from the start!
Its exciting to see your progress, its going to look lovely when finished. The puppies are so cute too. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Best wishes x
I love your channel, and look forward to new episodes every week! Thank you for sharing your dreams with us. ❤
Great work you two! What a team. It looks great❤
Always look forward to your videos. Love the progress you have made.
It's all falling into place. Good luck with the next stage.
Love the Jackery it’s an ideal portable power unit.
Those water levels seem nice in theory but they can be incredibly finicky and imprecise if you're not very careful. Personally I'm sticking to a large level (1m, 3m) for most cases. That 1mm deviation will be compensated by ground movement and wood change over time anyway.
Should sugi ban would also be my first choice for weather protection if I had to redo my garden fence.
I can't wait for the 2nd installment! You guys are an inspiration! From one Andrea to another Andrea xx
You are truly inspirational I recently bought a property in central Portugal and you’ve inspired me to try and do more myself xx Good luck with the main house renovation and keep making the videos ❤
Hi Indigo Escape, great to find your channel especially after sharing a BBQ with yourself with mutual friends Iain and talking of similar things & myself being in a similar position in same county buying a renovation. Good luck looks great! One more new subscriber 😊
