WE BOUGHT AN ABANDONED FARM With Stone Houses to Renovate in Portugal | YEAR TWO

Our 2nd year renovating our abandoned farm in Portugal turned into a 30 minute renovation timelapse! Head to https://squarespace.com/lifebyliving to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain using code LIFEBYLIVING

After selling EVERYTHING we owned, we bought an abandoned farm with 2 stone houses to renovate in Portugal...& we're doing it all with no experience! 😬

Now at the end of our 2nd year working on the farm & stone cabin restoration in our spare time, we've been reflecting on how much we've learnt & how much has changed in that time. So we thought we'd put together a collection of everything we built on our abandoned land & condense 1 year of work into a 30 minute homestead renovation timelapse!

It's only when we stop & look back that we realise how far we've come & we can really appreciate this wild journey that we're on!

We hope you enjoy this year recap & if you do, LIKE THIS VIDEO & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as this next year will be our most exciting one yet as we complete the tiny house & move in, ready to start renovating the main farm house!

Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊

We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful Portuguese 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.
