After selling EVERYTHING we owned, we bought an abandoned farm with 2 stone houses to renovate in Portugal. It’s been a wild journey so far full of highs and lows, and as 2024 approaches, we’ve been reflecting on our progress from the last year & thought it would be fun to create a timelapse showing our last one year of work in 25 minutes.br br Working every week in our spare time to renovate & restore this abandoned farm into a beautiful homestead, we easily forget how far we’ve come & the transformations made so far, so seeing it all put together in this timelapse video has really spurred us on for a productive next year!br br LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Central Portugal & the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone house, setting up systems to grow some of our own food & finally restoring the 100+ year old farm house.br br Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you br br Ricky & Victoria xbr br -------------br br 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.br br 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.
