As a Portuguese I really enjoy seeing how these long lost properties are coming back to life... the laundry outside, the trees , the landscape .... all of nature in harmony with people
Its so beautiful to see the elderly Portuguese men work those trees. And their no nonsense old school approach. Reminds me of how my European father use to work. You don't see that too often now a days with the younger generation. Love them. You are truly blessed to have them.
Love how considerate you guys are. The land, the water, the entire ecosystem, and the people. Portugal benefits from people like you! I'm really appreciative. You are the best.
It's incredible to see just how much the landscape of your property has changed. I can hardly wait to see the finished product outside, it's gonna be stunning.
Wow. You guys have been working HARD!!! Looks absolutely amazing! You are also very good stewards of the land too. Fire safety is nothing to mess with, and you took all the correct precautions. I agree with the comment below too, about the older men helping with the trees! Incredible! The community surrounding you seems absolutely wonderful. Try and get some relaxation in soon so you don't burn out! All the best :))
Some of those long wood pieces would be good for building fence, compost bins, privacy, small bridges, used as garden walls/paths/borders, so much you can do with it.
Wow, you are both amazing. I am sure that you are working very hard. Every new video shows so many advances before you post. I can see a difference every time. Continued good health and good luck.
Just found your channel 3 days ago and so glad I did! I am living vicariously through your lives. You are doing what I should have done. I am now much older (70 yikes) and riddled with arthritis and many other non curable diseases. So living in constant pain requires as much diversion as I can find. It has been so much fun watching you attack the chores with enthusiasm and grit. Enjoy your lives in Portugal and continue on your quest of making a fabulous homestead. Well done!
That closing shot really showed the transition and clearing around the mill. It's looking better and better each time. Just don't get rid of all of your shade! That is important for your summers as you well know! #963👍 💕
Its truly a gem in the rough. I LOVE places with history. Hopefully when the previous owners come they can tell you even more. You were so sweet to remove bad memories before they arrive. You have good hearts.♥️♥️
Yes, that's how you cut a tree. Start with the canopy and work your way down. Maybe turn some of the larger trunks into seating areas/nooks around the property. Talking about property, are you thinking of naming your little bit of paradise. You need somewhere to store your wood as normal wood needs to be dry before burning. Keep safe, keep happy, and blessed 🌻🌞🇬🇧🐈🙏
I get that you want to thin out the oil filled eucalyptus trees but hate seeing other beautiful old trees come down. They clearly didn't burn in a fire six years ago. But you have to do what feels right for your property. I'm sure over time it will regenerate itself and regain its beauty and charm. Seeing the overhead drone footage at the end, I have a better appreciation for your vision. It looks beautiful. Digging Tip from a lifelong gardener: Dig down three or four inches and fill your holes with water a few times (allowing the water to soak in each time) 24 hrs in advance. Let the water work for you. Makes easy digging. Take care you don't hurt yourselves. Glad you're young.
Fire Hazards! The bark on the “gums”, which include Eucalyptus globulus, is deciduous. Constant shedding of bark is part of what makes these trees a fire hazard. The bark catches fire readily, and the loose strips tend to carry fire up into the canopy, casting embers outward.!
Ok so my mom and I saw your visit with the Newby’s video! We fell in love with both of you! SOOOOO….. we have been binge watching your videos. Right this very minute we are watching the video from 2 yrs ago where ya’ll are looking for your dream property in Cali. The thing I’m noticing is that all the “loves” you have on each of the different properties (mountains views, water features, terraced land for Yurts and such….. and would we park our van here?) are ALL met with your property in Portugal!!!!! I’m not sure if you recognize this but your journey to “now” set the stage for fulfilling your dream!
How magical to hear and see this from your perspective!! We will have to rewatch ourselves 😍 it all makes sense now doesn’t it. So glad you found our channel 🙏💓
You´ve worked very hard as it can be seen in the last aerial image and it is looking great!!!! I look foreward to see your next projects!!! See you next time!!!!
Just so you know, (it’s a very common mistake), tetrapak containers, like milk or juice cartons should go on the yellow recycling bin because they are lined with plastic. Keep the good work, it’s looking amazing!
Do you know the eucalyptus leaves are the best for when you become sick when you have cold ? Specially for Winter seasons are the best. Just put some eucalyptus leaves in a pot, fill water uncover and let it boil on high heat, then turn the heat down. Let it be 3 to 4 hours , the eucalyptus smells kills the germ in your room, you can also put a towel on your head while you're bending over the pot while its boiling and deeply breath the steam. Youwill see the results, it opens your sinuses and you feel so good and light.
Next time you have a fire, maybe, remove the pile of logs on the ground above it. If the brush went up as quick as that, imagine how quick and ferocious the fire would be from that lot!
Portugal is so beautiful. I didn’t think anyone could find a prettier property than the Newbys did but yours is right up there with theirs! Both different but both breathtakingly beautiful! All your hard work is really showing. A labor of love is always more pleasure than pain. Keep well and safe.🤗💖👍👍🙏🙏
Never understood why Americans remove the safety cover of the angle grinder. I see that on most YT videos where americans use it. Guess you are ok with less then 10 full fingers? And some ear protection would also be a good idea. And as a tip ... the milk and juice cartons are not suppost to go into the paper / cardboard recycle bin. They have a plastic/wax liner 😉 The reinforcement in axle is the suspension 😉 Fit a jockey wheel to the trailer, makes manouvering a lot easier.
The beauty of the place requests s lot of initial work, so Drew and Brittany don't stop putting all your strength into it. Your big progress is so visible, day after day. Love your ❤vids
So many have said what I feel watching this…amazing progress, incredible helpers, beautiful stewardship…might I add, THAT HEADBOARD!!! What a swoon worthy score! I love the idea of using it as a gate somewhere! Cannot wait to see it used one day! 😍
Also, your opening deep breath…I close my eyes every time and breathe with you. It feels like such a beautiful way to start each video experience. Thank you for that addition! ❤
Establishing a homestead ourselves, the first things we did was start growing food, then compost and drainage around the building sites - long term storage for firewood and other wood that can be used for various building projects - goat fencing etc: as we reframe the road accesses and fire safety - just like your format. Then we first built a shed/workshop cause it really gave us a place to create with efficiency and sort findings to reuse such as windows, doors, and keep all the tools organized. Horizontal work space - adequate tables to work on like rip a half a sheet of plywood lengthwise x 2 to make two tables long layout - and put your saw table in the middle of those two tables. You’ll have adequate horizontal workspace for all the wood stuffs you will be tackling when rebuilding your roof, making window and door frames and walls. You have so much great stuffs on the property already and sorting will be a bit time consuming in the front of your project but will make all the difference to have access to useable resources of your stock. It also inspires extra creativity like elaborating on that exquisite red bed frame - love the gate idea! Much love - Coyotes Natural Medicines
You guys are my fave to watch n I don’t know how you work the patience into your filming but you do it so well. And again thank you so much for the post card you are the first I have ever received watching You Tube creators. Love you dearly, Aloha Hui hou (love till we meet again) 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
My DNA comes from Portugal. Seeing the beauty of the county helps me to appreciate my heritage even further. Seeing the work involved is totally humbling. Bless your hearts! ❤️
WOW! So much transformation in a few short months! Y’all are hard workers and know when to bring in expert help. The couple who owned it before is going to be so amazed!
Your property is looking so good! All of that hard work is paying off! I applaud your plans for including sky lights on your remodeling! We have 3 in our house. I just love them! They make all of the difference to the interior!
Your progress is amazing! Proper attire is essential to a safe adventure. Especially footwear (gloves too!) on all your rocks, gravel and uneven grounds. Make the investment of each getting a good sturdy shoe that will last a good 6 months and save the crocs for a campfire. Even a twisted ankle can cost weeks of recovery time.
We are in Chile and we have the same issues with fires here. Eucalyptus trees have a lot of oil and that is why when we burn them there is so much smoke and its easy to start a fire. We also have to request a permit to burn. I hope you will not have any fires this year. Your are doing the best thing about putting a huge barrier between the trees and the house. We had to do the same in order to lessen the possibility of a fire should it comes again in our area. Great job guys.
Hi guys watching the tremendous hard work you both due. The results are just great. New about a month on your site love it. Look forward to next week. Great neighbors👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, great video! With as many adventures as you all do, and now that you are working on your homestead full time, you should really think about getting one of those rubber rings to wear as your wedding bands. I always see your ring in the videos and think - she's going to lose that one day. Or worse, your finger is going to snag something and break or rip right off.
Do you know that tetra pack milk cartons are typically not recyclable unless you have a specialist tetra pack recycler who has a bin in your area. We have 1 who turns up monthly on market day in our town. It's because the outer card has an inner lining of plastic, basically, infused into the inner surface of the carton. This makes it difficult to separate and, therefore, not easy to recycle at a standard recycling facility. Same for fruit juice cartons too. I don't know if what you were using to recycle yours in your recycling segway was a cardboard only bin or specially for tetra pack, but, it's something you may wish to consider in the future. Also, plastic film wrap can be recycled with plastic carrier bags at most supermarkets (in the UK at least). Oh, one last thing, black plastics typically cannot be recycled at all.
Wow, never would have considered a burn pile without running water available. Thankfully it turned out ok. Nelson could haul your mulcher any place you need it.
I get so excited to see a video pop up from you two! I'm so happy for you and I would be lying if I didn't admit that I'm envious as well! All of the work will pay off in the long run. It was great to see how the water runs off so you have an idea of how you will need to direct it. Nature is so amazing! All the best!!!
You need to invest in an angle grinder, makes cutting metal so much easier and less vibration which can shake the crap outta yah. you csn also get many attachments for it, wire wheels, cutting blades etc, etc.
I got my AG1 package and had my first one this morning. I was prepared for it to not taste good so I just tried to chug it but it actually doesn’t taste bad at all! Nice! Thanks guys on with the episode ❤
Your property is looking beautiful. I think you definitely made the right choice in selecting the old mill. The elephant is getting smaller. You've taken quite a few bites out of it. 🐘
I live in my RV here in the U.S. i tried those sheets but here in GA. they ended up just all struck together from all the humidity. I do think they are a great deal.
Yes Eucalyptus trees are native to Australia, however Koalas only eat a certain type of this tree. Here in Australia we consider them to be a nuisance and not safe in suburbia.
Ola, nice to see you around. What we do is putting the leaves, logs into a shredder . Handsome to use. Dump it on a place with humidity means make compost. The mulch can be used on the foot of the trees. Like Olivera, Oak is a slow growing one, Stone oak, Gravilia is great, and more ....
You may want to look into getting an essential oils kettle for the eucalyptus leaves. Use the wood to power a stove to heat some water to steam through some leaves and collect the oils which are extracted. Then, sell it at market or something...maybe, also, grow lavender on some of the terraces and do similar.
We were just discussing how we should look into doing this! Thank you for encouraging and answering a little bit about how we can start experimenting ✨😍✨
@@Mrandmrsadventure there are some systems out there which have a 'kettle vessel' which has a pipe running out the top which feeds into the top and then, via a perforated tube, deep into the interior of a second vessel containing oil producing plant matter (possibly, some barks may also work too, as well as citrus tree leaves which may still be good to use as they drop during autumn or if collected from the orchard floor during harvest), which then has further piping coming out the top which is fed through a condenser (a pipe surrounded by a jacket of cool water) and into a glass beaker. The cooling effect of the condenser causes the steam to turn back into a liquid as it travels down the final pipe and into a beaker. Once it cools completely, you end up with a separation of oils floating atop water...which you can pipette away. I think that there are also uses for the oilly water mix too. It's pretty cool that you have water freely available. I'd you could work out a way of collecting and cooling it then pumping it though your condenser, it should work really well...and, as a free resource, wouldn't cost anything to use. Probably could be used for the kettle too if not too brackish...nothing a good muslin filter wouldn't sort I shouldn't have thought
@@weedfreer Very cool! So much to learn about this process. Seem like something we can experiment with once we have our home and living situation more developed.
Hello .. you were using Chipper.. MULCH is the best way to avoid little pools on the way. instead of fire, you may chipp all these brunches. I remember your very first episode when these gloves and shoes were brand new, and now you are a great expert. Well well done
The bars in the middle of the trailer axle were springs for the suspension, similar to what is in the front of an air-cooled VW. Spring steel is very hard, so good job getting it cut!
wow!!! you guys are accomplishing a lot of hard work clearing out all of those hazardous trees. great winter firewood prep. it's truly transforming your land at the water mill. exciting. continued blessings. 🕊
It is excellent that you found an arborist for that large tree via Nelson who made that bridge so thoughtful….all that fire wood!! 💪🤗 you both SO hard…who needs a Gym? Drew loved you dancing to the sound effects of rain drops! 💙 The burn off was intense! Looking forward to your design for your Mill home!! Take care guys! ❤️🤗🇦🇺🍻

É verdade . Portugal sempre arenovar-se
Very inspiring 👏🏼👏🏼😍

We so are! It’s a very real way of living and getting the work done. We admire that! 💪
Well, not exactly elderly! lol If they were "elderly", they wouldn't be in those trees!
God seems to fulfill all of our desires! Even brings in men to help your dream home 🏡
@@zariballard I had a laugh at that one too🤦♀... hardly elderly.
@@zariballard My neighbor boys think I'm elderly at 67. I don't feel too elderly yet. 😄😄
Even though I understand why you're doing it, I just can't bear to see mature trees cut down, I cry. So I'll wait for your next video.
Love how considerate you guys are. The land, the water, the entire ecosystem, and the people. Portugal benefits from people like you! I'm really appreciative. You are the best.
🥹🙏❤️ Obrigada ❤️🙏🇵🇹
It's incredible to see just how much the landscape of your property has changed. I can hardly wait to see the finished product outside, it's gonna be stunning.

I didn’t even notice he was older. ?????

It is fun to see while working on your property you guys are making new friends for life. I love the Portuguese people. They are very loyal.

You both deserve such a huge break. Hope you are taking time out to enjoy the beach and get some R & R.
The beach is exactly what we could use. Coming soon in a future episode 🏖️
Fire Hazards!
The bark on the “gums”, which include Eucalyptus globulus, is deciduous. Constant shedding of bark is part of what makes these trees a fire hazard. The bark catches fire readily, and the loose strips tend to carry fire up into the canopy, casting embers outward.!
You can use the two tree beams from inside the house to make some sort of entrance/gate outside at the begin of your road❤

Wow!! Nelson's top-secret project, flying chainsaw, rain leak drumming amid so many magical transformations. So wonderful 💪💪 💟
Good for you guys for recycling the metal & sparing the past owners any sadness.
Another benefit of having eucalyptus trees near by is, because of smells of leaves it make all the mosquitos fly away from same area.
Portugal is so beautiful. I didn’t think anyone could find a prettier property than the Newbys did but yours is right up there with theirs! Both different but both breathtakingly beautiful!

how about clear plastic to put over skylight to let sunlight still light up the room, since just temporary doesn't need to be heavy tarp material
Wow!!! Your property is getting so beautiful, you two are doing a wonderful job. ❤
Hi guys watching the tremendous hard work you both due. The results are just great. New about a month on your site love it. Look forward to next week. Great neighbors👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Eucalyptus tree leaves are great in the bathroom. Research that. Fresh or dried.
Yes, hanging them in the shower smells wonderful ✨
Plant some natives!! Research native plants!!! also in case you didn’t know, don’t use eucalyptus mulch in your gardens ! It can burn the plants
Love watching your vlog, you both are putting hard work, take care ❤
There's a certain amusing symmetry seeing your fire prevention measures become....firewood! 🤣😍
Yes, it is ironic lol
Wow, great video!

Alot of work. I remember you guys in Panama with Jordan and Kaley now sadie. Great you found your own homestead.
Wow, never would have considered a burn pile without running water available. Thankfully it turned out ok. Nelson could haul your mulcher any place you need it.
Wow...such a much better environment....imagine how it will be as you flow with the house ....🎉
Looking great..clearing makes the terrain look so different and open…so forwards and upwards
tip for your saws-all is to turn the blade around the other way. cuts easier.
I get so excited to see a video pop up from you two! I'm so happy for you and I would be lying if I didn't admit that I'm envious as well! All of the work will pay off in the long run. It was great to see how the water runs off so you have an idea of how you will need to direct it. Nature is so amazing! All the best!!!

Great video guys! I hope you get all of the burnable trees down before burn season. And the gentleman at the end was quite handsome.
I got my AG1 package and had my first one this morning. I was prepared for it to not taste good so I just tried to chug it but it actually doesn’t taste bad at all! Nice! Thanks guys on with the episode ❤

I also wondered what a toast wrap could be. Ha! A tow strap makes much more sense!
You may want to look into getting an essential oils kettle for the eucalyptus leaves.
Use the wood to power a stove to heat some water to steam through some leaves and collect the oils which are extracted.
Then, sell it at market or something...maybe, also, grow lavender on some of the terraces and do similar.
We were just discussing how we should look into doing this! Thank you for encouraging and answering a little bit about how we can start experimenting ✨😍✨
@@Mrandmrsadventure there are some systems out there which have a 'kettle vessel' which has a pipe running out the top which feeds into the top and then, via a perforated tube, deep into the interior of a second vessel containing oil producing plant matter (possibly, some barks may also work too, as well as citrus tree leaves which may still be good to use as they drop during autumn or if collected from the orchard floor during harvest), which then has further piping coming out the top which is fed through a condenser (a pipe surrounded by a jacket of cool water) and into a glass beaker.
The cooling effect of the condenser causes the steam to turn back into a liquid as it travels down the final pipe and into a beaker.
Once it cools completely, you end up with a separation of oils floating atop water...which you can pipette away.
I think that there are also uses for the oilly water mix too.
It's pretty cool that you have water freely available. I'd you could work out a way of collecting and cooling it then pumping it though your condenser, it should work really well...and, as a free resource, wouldn't cost anything to use.
Probably could be used for the kettle too if not too brackish...nothing a good muslin filter wouldn't sort I shouldn't have thought
@@weedfreer Very cool! So much to learn about this process. Seem like something we can experiment with once we have our home and living situation more developed.
I like the headboard. I am sure you will put it to good use.
Make a garden seat out of the red metal bed frame.
That’s a neat idea!!
Hello .. you were using Chipper.. MULCH is the best way to avoid little pools on the way. instead of fire, you may chipp all these brunches. I remember your very first episode when these gloves and shoes were brand new, and now you are a great expert. Well well done
The bars in the middle of the trailer axle were springs for the suspension, similar to what is in the front of an air-cooled VW. Spring steel is very hard, so good job getting it cut!
I’m so glad we found your channel
Don‘t forget some external sunshades for the skylights. Preferably electrically operated. Best wishes from Germany. Olli
