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!

    As a Realtor of 43 years I must say disposal of discards is a shock to me. Here in the US that is a No No and at the very least full disclosure to buyers is necessary. It's often not the best for the environment but certainly not Good for new owners. Please make sure that you identify the area you have put the debre but also what it is. I highly recommend you not so such thing and make plans for proper disposal.

    Hey mate, I’ve spent a lot of time in Alaska and remote parts of the us. Pretty normal to use as hard core for drainage & fixing roads. What do them do in remote parts of Australia? Thats right they set fire to there rubbish. I really think people think that I don’t think things through when Infact I’m 5 steps ahead. As above it was not possible to shift it so the president of a town here told us this is perfectly ok. It also was done in this location as it’s where 3 big solar panels and will allow the water to drain nicely in heavy down pours. No need to worry lots of things go on in the states that would not be deemed as acceptable here to. 😀

Take pride in your idea and accomplishments . As a much older woman who has renovated a few homes in Colorado and California USA, I give you much credit for preserving abandoned buildings, returning them to their original footprints and essence using traditional and proven techniques to keep the structure true to its lasting beauty and intent. Bravo in so many ways. You have regenerated the fertility and encouraged the agricultural aspect of this property and have made a new start for this beautif land.

    Theo, you're amazing, is there anything you can't drive/operate??? 🤔😆 Bee, that was brilliant, loved Furnando as a 'turd' guide, I mean tour guide😜 Can I ask if you've heard back from the tests Theo had done? It's been on my mind ever since you mentioned it. You are creating a truly beautiful place for yourselves. To be able to live amongst so many trees and animals must be the best feeling ever. Do you have a trail cam around the 'mermaid's purse'? Would love to see who visits there.

    Fernando should write children's book, Life On Miracle Mountain. I'm gonna assume he works pretty cheap, i.e., a nice steady supply of catnip, unlimited belly rubs and cat food. And since he can't count money, well, I mean, what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right? It's also totally amazing that you speak cat.

    Yeah, that tour guide didn't even wash his paws after voiding. Harrumph. No Tip! Bee, it is a joy to hear you making jokes again and sharing your love for your beautiful home. Oh, our neighbor goats won't eat weeds at all, but they moan with pleasure when we trim the fruitless mulberry trees - they LOVE the leaves. Such fun animals. I should try throwing them an apple core and see what they do with that. Theo is doing such a great job on the 5 acre property. Being all clean and tidy should help it sell faster and for more money. I surely hope so.

    He’s come leaps and bounds since we found him in the street. He’s still trying out different avenues for work but I don’t think guiding should be his main focus 😅

    I’ve been watching you guys for years…i stated as a labourer, now almost retired machine operator. Your final landscape project is genius. Your skills operating that lil kabota my friend are amazing. May our Universe keep shining on your projects. Thank you for the great entertainment.
