Just a Few Tiles Left! #79

We’re so close to having a fully finished roof! In this episode, we carry on laying tiles up the final side, carefully cut roof tiles to fit perfectly along the eaves, and install even more ridge caps along the top line. Every tile brings us one step closer to completing this huge part of the tiny house build.

It’s a detailed, hands-on day — full of measuring, cutting, dry-fitting, adjusting, and finally seeing the roof take on its final shape. By the end of the episode, we’re down to just a few tiles left… and the feeling of standing on the edge of a completed roof is unbelievably exciting.

If you’ve been following our tiny house journey here in rural Portugal, thank you for sticking with us through every muddy day, every mistake, and every moment of progress. And if you're new here — welcome! This is the real process of building a home by hand, from the ground up.

We're Amy and Kieran, we're turning our abandoned house with half an acre of hill and forest into a homestead where we can try to become as self sufficient as possible by growing our own food, renovating our own house (DIY style!) and living life on our terms

We have zero experience with home renovations, and this one needs some renovating.
So follow along as we gain all the DIY skills and try to turn this abandoned house into the home we never thought we could own.
