Theo and Bee gave up their busy city lifestyles in 2014 to explore alternative living, and have lived in vans and boats since then without looking back! Along with their cat Ginjey Bear they have been driving around the world in their self converted Sprinter van. However, when the global pandemic hit they began converting their abandoned stone barn in Central Portugal to turn into a wonderful tiny stone cottage. Along the way, they have rescued a playful cat called Furrnando and have a wonderful flock of Chickens!

Just know that we love you guys, we can see the desperation coming through this video and we want you to take your time. Your audience will be here for you when you’re ready.

Although I agree with the sentiment youtube is their livelihood so Theo kinda has to keep uploading content until their property starts turning profit I guess. It’s probably a good thing to keep busy.

I agree with your sentiments of not feeling pressured to put videos out and that we will all wait because their health and wellbeing is more important. However, I'm not sure where you got desperation from? I saw enthusiasm and excitement to be getting into a new project. Sometimes making plans and starting something for the future is exactly what's needed. ❤

All due respect, but I also didn't note any air of desperation; like others, I just saw Theo's excitement about starting another project. Remember they're called The Indie Projects for a reason. Also, I think it was Theo himself who stated that working on multiple projects brings him joy & helps him deal w/the grief he & Bee are still coping with one year+ after the wildfire & flash floods damaged their beloved Miracle Mountain so drastically & infamously. He's doing exactly what he needs to do for his self-care.✌🏼

I agree, just Theo's positive energy... love you guys!!!!❤
Seeing Theos smiling face was a lovely surprise this morning. Sorry you were held up by the hornets. Portugal has trecherous Asian hornets, Texas has Africanized bees that have come in from the south and crossed with our docile domestic honey bees. Great work on the cleanup Theo.
Very exciting, Theo!! I know this will be a good project to sink your teeth into. Take your time, don't stress. Your YT family wants only the best for you and Bee. Sending lots of good energy from the US. Holding Bee in my prayers
You must feel so good getting that done! Looks like a great start. Hope the council gets there soon to deal with those hornets.
The stone house looks like a fairytale. So good to see you whenever you feel like making a video, no pressure. Hope Bee is doing well. ❤️
Thanks for sharing ! As usual your hard work produces awesome results. Just know Theo; you don’t have to put out content that takes hours to edit. We all understand you are down to one right now. We just appreciate seeing you and what you’re doing! Hugs big guy.
Your property is so vast and really beautiful. I enjoy watching when you drive about. No matter how often you do or don’t post videos, we will be here. We are loyal followers. We send love to both you and Bea.
Such a lovely building, stay safe while you're on your own, and sending love to Bee xx❤

Will do! Bee is still here as her surgery got put back, hopefully she will be back just before Christmas 🎄
Such a huge clean up job. You did so much. You are an unbelievably hard worker, as we all know. How is Bee doing? We miss her immensely
Theo, with your attention to detail and Bee's fabulous sense of home decor style, this place is going to be absolutely stunning when complete.
Seeing you work on projects that being you joy is the best content you could make! Thank you for bringing us along on the journey. Love to you and Bee!
Theo, you don’t have to entertain us . We are invested in your journey. Both you and Bea bring such joy to all of your viewers. Good wishes from 🇮🇪🙏🏻💕
Wow, stone house looks sooo much better!

It sure does and it is going to be exciting to see what Theo does with it.
It’s all happening but what an exciting beginning. Hope Bea is okay. Take care, be safe and stay away from those ‘pesky’ hornets. ❤ Dorset, UK
So good to see you. All the best to Bee. We are here and really appreciate when you post.
So glad to see a new video. How is Bee doing? Please send her all my love. I think the renovation is going to be so successful because you are a hardworking man. ❤
It is nice that you have cool weather to work in. This house will become a beautiful home when you n Bee are finished.
Good job Theo!.......what a wonderful house and big too!......Love the stone..................greetings to Bea and hope she is feeling ok......maybe the little building at the side was for pigs........they always had a pig sty near the house..........
It so awesome seeing you moving forward. I sense some sadness, not having your mate by your side. I’m so glad you guys are prioritizing the important things, and getting Bee back to her wonderful self. Much love from Southern Oregon!! 🌲🥰🙏
I am so excited to see what’s coming down the road for that beautiful old stone chateau, it’s beginning to come alive again! You guys are awesome architects!
you've been missed ! hugs to both of you. Bea has been missed a lot. ❤

Wow Amazing Theo!! The house is going to be so cool! I can only imagine. I just learned that if you grate a potato onto a sterile patch place it into the sting it will help with the healing. Of course you have to tape the patch so it holds. Also a very hot soak as best you can stand for 3 minutes then straight into the cold for 1 min and back and forth 3x apparently helps with the pain. Oh you have to change the potatoe patch 3 times a day. Hopefully you don't get stung again.
When I think of the beautiful work you did on the stone barn, I'm sure this will be gorgeous. Remember not to overdo it (yes, Mom mode, LOL) - with big hugs to you & Bea from Maine, USA.

Thanks dude 🙏💪🏻👌
Both you and Bee seem to ALWAYS put one foot in front of the other and make headway with whatever projects you take on! The Stone house/barn renovation will be incredible when completed! Excellent idea for another income stream in your future!👏🙏👍
You can imagine the beauty and peace when staying here. What a start.
Good blessed morning from central Pennsylvania. What a glorious project to take on. I know you will make it beautiful again! Not the initial way you wanted it to be but way better. Think about it. You can now build it with fire proof materials. So IF there would be another fire. You can be so much better prepared. You are building back better with your water and the goats are so much safer. Just do your best as always! Love always! 🙋🙏
I would be happy just to watch you cutting up the fallen trees. I dont need a big project to enjoy the visit with you two. Give Bea my love and take care of you Theo.
That was a massive clean out. Great work Theo
Wow, Theo. . Yes there's a lot of work to do and I know you have the experience to handle it. I watched you on the last homestead build the Stone Barn from scratch and turned it into a beautiful Tiny Home. I know you can do wonderful things with this Stone building, too.😊 Stay strong 💪 and try not to get sick...I can hear a little cold in your voice. 😊 You and Bea will smash it.... God is with you all the way. When the spring and summer comes would it be a good suggestion to have volunteers come stay on the land in little Glamping Pods that you can buy. The volunteers could stay for free, provide their own food, and help you on the Stone House project and other manual projects, too. When the house is finished, you can rent out the Glamping Pods as well as the Stone House to holiday visitors. It's another income for the property. So get your volunteers to help with the heavy work. Or teach them how to do certain parts of the renovation.😊😊All the best to you both.😊❤
Wow your years working on the stone barn conversion has given you so many skills!

Thank you definitely feel much more confident going into this one!
Good job Theo! You & Bea place is just Beautiful. We miss her & hope she is doing well. Can't wait for her to return. I live in Texas & the hogs are so destructive so I feel you. Much respect to you both for all the hard work & care you both give to your home & animals.
I'd use the concrete pipe-thingy, as a planter for the new guest accommodation. Put a hole in the bottom and plant a succulent. Place near the steps where you found it, to greet new visitors.
I hope Bee is doing well. I think she is an awesome human. We love you Bee, I think Theo misses his woman. I. Will keep you in my heart, and send you some good vibes.😻
Thank you Theo. A new project is so exciting. Thank you for taking us along all these years. Best tell Bea that I respect her need to take care of herself, however she thinks best. Your lives, your health, your relationships come first. A Gram from MO❤
It is great to see you Theo. Tell Bee that we are thinking of her and wishing her well.
Please say hello to bee for us. Theo you sound better than the past videos, I'm so glad you have a new project that brings you joy. Please know that we all care about you two and we want you guys to be happy. Love and hugs from California.
I always look forward seeing your videos. Looking good. I know you and Bee will appreciate it when it’s done so you can rent it out. That will be fantastic. And rewarding to the both of you and also to use. However Please take care of yourself. Tell Bee hello and we Love her. Thank you so much. For bringing us along on this journey.🫶💖
Theo this important work and made a nice look after finished. Good job. Please be safe from those hornets. Tell miss Bee hi from me. Love from Texas 🎉

You young man are no stranger to hard work. Just make sure you don't over do things. Look after yourself. Let Bea know we are wishing her all the best and a speedy recovery ❤
Oh! Theo! I just know you're going to do something awsome. Love you and Bea so much! Your love for each other is a great inspiration. Stay well. We miss you, but first of all we want you to stay healthy and happy.
Nice to see you excited about life again Theo! Best wishes to Bea! Your plans are exciting but please work safely for body and soul! Remember to take time to just enjoy what you already have. You work soooo hard!
Thank you for filming from the waist up on the warmer days.
I feel that you are in your "element", here, Theo. Don't worry about the time it takes, do it at a pace that feels right for you. Awesome start, though! Blessings to you and to Bea❤️
It all has to start somewhere. And now you've started the journey and you will see lots of hard work, but instant results as well. That is the great thing about refurbishing older buildings. You get to see how it all shapes up instantly... Thumbs Up!
Wonderful project! Looks so much better already! We have wild boar here in Turkey. Last winter, while we were away, they made a real mess of a part of our garden. It looked like a plowed field and all the massive paving stones were thrown all over the place!
Fast action on the weed disposal, so satisfying to watch.
Amazing old building. You could use that round stone container as a flower pot if nothing else. Tell Bee hi!
Brilliant start Theo. Love to Bee, hope she's doing well.X

Wishing you well on this endeavor. Please pass my best wishes on to Bea. She is in my thoughts and prayers, as are you. Take things one day at a time and you will progress forward. We will be here for you and look forward to the changes ahead.
I love when you video yourself working. I could watch you work for hours.

Very nice work, Theo. You’ve made some major progress there today. The salvage potential of all that tile will come in handy. It’s tough hearing you got stung by those Asian Hornets. Wishing you well, and a speedy recovery. Let’s get this done!
The trimming makes it look much better. I enjoy all of the roads into your property. Fun to see the the forest etc.
Theo, seeing your smiling face made me happy. Just getting the overgrowth cleaned up from the front of the stone house made such a huge difference.
Those building look amazing. The stonework once cleaned and pointed will make it look even better. Good luck with the Hornets
I admire your ambition! Taking on another renovation is daunting. I know you’ll do a fabulous job . Love to you and Bee.
Theo, it is so good to see a smile on your face and your positive attitude.
Love how hard you work and hear the pure joy in your voice. I’m amazed at how much you know about your land❤
Wow, huge project but I know you'll do an awesome job. Be careful with the wild boar, as you stated they are extremely dangerous. There are areas that will pay hunters to get rid of them so keep a look out. Above all, stay safe and remember to have fun.
Absolutely obsessed with this stone house! It looks so much more ancient than most of the houses I’ve seen in Spain! Lucky you! I can’t wait to see what you do! ☺️
Esa casa de piedra es hermosa ,cuando este restaurada va a quedar genial
Reminds me of when you and Bee first bought the off grid property and had to clear your way into the building 😄
Well there you are Bea it is great to hear your VOICE.Hope you will join Theo very soon
You could turn the cement dog kennel on its side & use as a stone table. It would even work like an island like they have in kitchens
Hey Theo, great to see you in a new video. Last I saw you, you were working on another property fixing a roof that had been poorly installed by a contractor. What happened to that property? Say hello to Bee, I hope you are both doing well. I'm looking forward to seeing this project continue. Cheers mate!
Well done Theo! So great to see your enthusiasm and your plans unfold. Best Wishes to you and healing love for Bea!
Theo beast cutting mode! Thank you for sharing . 🙏for Bea. Stay safe, stay true, stay you.
I’ve found a new love of watching people strimming! Very satisfying. What a difference it makes. Love to Bee x
Now that you have cleaned ,the front of the house ,the stone building looks much bigger !!! Much love to you both ,all the best for Be a, give her warm kisses ...
what a transformation already really excited to see where this project brings us !! I see at 14.59 your scrambler got a upgrade :)) !! give our love to Bee ! take care folks !!
All the very best for you both. May it all work for you two. No one beats you for persivearance and determination.
Theo this is you at your best ! It brings back so many positive memories.
Good to here from you again I hope Bee is doing ok I miss her alot.😍🥰😉🫠🙃🙂👍👍👍🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💥💢💯💫💫💫
So good to hear your voice Theo sending my love to you both and a speedy recovery Bea we miss you so much xxx
How wonderful to see the natural beauty emerge
You are so encouraging Theo! No job to big! Hope Bee is doing well!
Looks soooooo much better......just one day at a time....love to Bea........
You're such a hard worker Theo. It's amazing what a good clean up can do.
Remember to Work Smarter, Not Harder. You should remember to drag a trailer around so that you can dump the bush cuttings into it immediately, so that you don't have to waste time picking up the cuttings later on. Then you can drive the trailer down to the goats to feed them the fresh cuttings. As you well know, this will save you extra steps & labor.
Take your time, I will be here, waiting for the progress, watch y'all on the TV KZread channel. Love watching your mini movies. Progress on the mountain looking amazing. Keep up the good work 👍💯💪
It looks beautiful always wait to hear from you. Tell Bea we miss her and hurry back love you more
That concrete "dog kennel" might be a precast vault like are used for junctions in underground piping or wiring - or it might be a dog kennel :). My best you warmest wishes for you & Bea both.
Your property is so outstandingly gorgeous
Hi hope bea is okay and recovering well.take your time with your new project will love to see it done
Having been with you and Bee from the start of your project of the other property and seen you work ethic and amazing drive to succeed, I am looking forward to being with you on this journey. Sending Love ❤️ to you both. Reading the comments sure makes it evident that you and Bee have our backing. Xxxxxxxx ❤️💙
Great to see you back… what a difference the strimmer made. Cant wait to watch and follow this project.. love to Bea ❤❤..
On another channel they had a problem with hogs. They installed a round fencing that lifted in the air. They bated the pen with corn,dropped it around the hogs and trapped them.
Fabulous work Theo!! So glad you found your chopper loppers. Missing Bea! Give her my Love- I am sending soothing healing energy to assist. Such a wonderful video!! Inspirational!
Theo...you are amazing, a machine. I dont know how you stay so positive and upbeat about all the stuff you are tackling on your own. I would just feel overwhelmed by it all. Well done mate.xx
Theo, it's time to get some man power help. Bring a crew in to help you. Then you don't feel so overwhelmed with this task. So much to do. Great start on this project. You always see the potential, Bea will be so happy with the progress.😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤

I don’t feel overwhelmed, unfortunately I can’t afford any help right now, bees operation is expensive so I have to keep costs down best I can. Thanks for the support 🙏
Sending prayers to Bea. Hope everything is going good and she’s starting to heal. ❤️❤️🙏🙏. Prayers for you too Theo.
Lots of hard work ahead that will keep you busy for quite some time to come. Stay healthy and stay safe.
Love you both Leo and I have not had access to your videos for 5 weeks as been away from home. Now a massive binge watch to catch up.
Hello Theo & Bee! Good to see you are doing well Theo. I pray Bee is getting better as well. I like the progress you are making. I can see it gives you much joy. I would feel the same way, I love mountains!
Best wishes on the stone house. It will be beautiful. The steel beams will be handy for temporary support but will have lost their real strength from the fire.
The stone box at the front of the entrance would make a lovely water trough. stay safe j
A lot of work but looks like a fun project. Amazing what a difference a weed whack makes ❤
Praying for Bea I had procedure done back in 1993 was in hospital a week my sister had it done 2 years later she was out of hospital next day . Medicine has changed Get plenty of rest
