Being a couple of newbies to building with stone, restoring a house, and just DIY in general, this old stone house renovation has been pretty overwhelming at times, and in an effort to avoid said overwhelm, we’ve only been able to focus on the current task at hand as well as maybe the next one or two jobs. Well that way of thinking caught up with us this week as we realised we hadn’t left sufficient room to create the brick overhang design that we wanted.
As well as problem solving this issue, we also started prepping for Portugal’s fire ban and land clearance deadline, and Victoria added a new fruit tree to our ever growing collection!

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.
