- Plans and approved drawings for the resoration of our abandoned property in Portugal.
It's been a long road to get here (2 years) and now, finally, we can get things moving.
Thanks for watching.
Meraid and Dan
Dan presented this as if he was David Attenborough, announcing the discovery of a new species of animal. Lol. Loved it.
Lol😅
I often think he’s channelling Attenborough too! Other times it’s Griff Rhys Jones 😂
Congrats 🎉 I'm so excited for you. Can't wait to see the transformation ❤
😂😂😂 l am speechless, l better SHUT MY MOUTH,🙏🙏🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
Now you mention it 🤣
You two just sparkle as you talk about your new home. You have worked so hard for this. I can't wait to see it completed.
Thank you so much 😊
Having watched you from the beginning, I am SO excited for you. You have done an amazing job on the land, and you are wonderful teachers of the organic, natural way of life. I appreciate that you are always teaching, especially in preserving your harvest. It is work, but it is worth it! I am looking forward to watching the progress of the demolition and rebuilding.
Thank you so much!
So exciting for you. I love your balcony. Hope it goes smoothly.
Thanks so much!
I love the plans, practical and honest to the building.
Thank you 😊
It’s good to see two very happy people, eager to continue making big dreams come true! Your house will be perfect, I wish you good progress and 🍀.
Thank you so much ☺️
That was a brilliant update.
The plans were very clear.
I’m so excited to be following you guys. ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
I like your new scheme for this building. It is well thought out and uses the inherent strengths of the existing structure. You have also integrated smoothly with the planning regulations and the traditional design.
You will, of course, have to break a lot of eggs to make this cake and don’t forget that you only get the benefits after you have suffered the pain.
We are looking forward to seeing how you progress.
Break a leg!
Parabéns vocês são extraordinários merecem ser felizes nessa vossa mansão! Deus vos abençoe e ajude sejam muito felizes ..
Many omelettes to come probably 😊
Boa sorte na aventura ! Eu vou adorar acompanhar com vocês esta obra !❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Obrigada ☺️
It’s so great to see the plans and have you talk through them. Some great editing in there too Meraid. Guest accommodation gets a thumbs up from me!! X
Thanks a million, Maggie. We had you in mind when we planned the guest suite. 🥰
Meraid in red an beautiful smile got me up an going this mornin!!!😍
Smiling now 😊
We came to your site for the gardening but are looking forward to your rebuilding stories. Bless your architect for his ability to take those odd angles and use them efficiently. Love your veranda plans, especially the moving of the stairway. It makes so much more sense and will allow you to go right straight down into your gardens. Lovely!
We’ll be back in the garden next week 😊
Congratulations! The plans are perfect for two people who want to enjoy life, hobbies and garden. If the builder has good relations with the camera, you shouldn’t run into many more problems.
Hopefully everything will be wonderful
Bursting with excitement for you. I can see it in your faces. You are both full of new energy and love. You are an amazing couple, absolutely inspirational. Looking forward to seeing all the videos going forward 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😊
You are un absolute lovely couple. I wish you all the best in your new adventure. Much love to you. ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Go Maith, you guys are fantastic. Every good wish . 🇮🇪☘️
Go raibh mile maith agat.
Eline emeğine sağlık bu güzel video için kolay gelsin hayırlı işler....👍👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
So exciting! Also looking forward to seeing what you do with the Square garden outside the house where I think chickens were kept? Hope you're fully recovered soon Meraid. 🥰🌷
Us too!
Oh wow I am sooooo excited for you - can’t wait to follow your adventure 🌺🤸♂️
Yay! Thank you 😊
It’s going to be gorgeous and it will be lovely to see you eventually sitting on your new verandah & enjoying you new kitchen
That's the plan. Thank you 😊
Fantastic plans I can’t wait to see this all take place it will be beautiful when done. Love the old stone and with a lot of TLC this house will be gorgeous.
Can't wait!
I really appreciate you haven't ranted about the process - not even ONCE!!
When I say I appreciate, I mean I am flat out amazed because you must have the patience of JOB cause I've done renovations but nowhere near the scope of yours - and oooh the frustrations!
So, kudos to you and GOOD LUCK (I'm sticking around to see the transformation, oh yes!)
We appreciate that. We do have patience ☺️
Ya tengo ganas de ver la obra paso a paso cómo va quedando y cómo no .... el resultado!!!
Gracias ☺️
Your personalities and your story is far more important than fancy photography or ace audio. It is so good to see your patience rewarded.
That’s really kind of you. Thank you 😊
How many memories in this house are gone. And now you make your beautiful memories there. I wish you happiness and a long life. Thank you, you are wonderful🧡🧡
Thank you. You too 😊
OMG you folks have a big dream and a wonderful vision it will be nice that you are sharing this with us. I hope the happiness that exudes from you follows you until completion as it is the real value of the project.
Thank you so much 😊
Like the explanation of the house tour. The icing was front door with the bells.
We love our bells 🔔
Awesome update will done , we can’t wait to see the project ,keep it punching guy’s, blessings
Thank you. Will do.
I have zero questions, just compliments on your awesome views and congratulations.
Thank you very much 😊
Oh, it will be awesome. The groundfloor will be fantastic for storing all the lovely things you produce in your garden and the first floor will be gorgeous, I'm sure. I definitly will stay to watch the hopefully "un-rocky" road to your dream house!
So nice of you. Thank you 😊
Congratulations I am sooo happy for you and for myself. Will be watching every minute of the progress. Stay healthy and keep smiling. ❤
That’s lovely, thank you 😊
The physics of those stone walls is so totally different than any North American buildings, so yes, it takes specialized professionals to get the structure to be stabilized (holes included).
I'm not surprised it took 2 years, with historical records, the original building (without the lath and plaster walls, along with knowing which load bearing walls needing to stay.
A new roof, the change to the attic, the moving of the parts of the verandas, front and back need careful planning..
Some of these had wood gutters, which are traditional. Windows will need to be made to fit the stone, not the reverse.
Those floor, yikes, definitely not safe.
It may take another 6 months, perhaps a little longer, but it's worth doing right the first time.
Wishing you both health, patience and fun watching the restoration. 🇨🇦🙏
Thank you 😊
Great stuff guys. My wife and I did up our house many moons ago in our 20s. It's quite a journey. The garden had 2 trees in it when we came, it now has more than I can count including some I have grown from seed and are over 30 feet.
That is awesome 👏
@@NearbyVeggies quite a journey! And loving yours!
Thank you 😊
Congrats on a long awaited dream! My wish for you is that the completed project will it will be everything that you have been dreaming of! May God bless you!
Thank you so much 😊
How exciting! Can’t wait to follow the progress. Best of luck with the renovation. I think I’m as excited as yourselves😊
Thanks so much! 😊
You are such a beautiful couple and to see you excited about this build is inspiring. I like a home grown tomato but I LOVE stone house restorations.
Us too. 👍
❤❤❤Meraid looks so excited, I imagine how happy it must feel to start a project like that, it is my dream, to have my own house!! congratulations!
I am excited 😆
@@NearbyVeggies ,you are great!🙌
Thank you 😊
Love your channel, you are now covering my 2 favourite things…..gardening and renovation!
Awesome! Thank you 😊
So happy for both of you that finally everything is in place for the renovation. I can't wait to see how it turns out. When I was a girl I would sit out on that varanda enjoying the view. One of my fond memories from visiting my Aunt and Uncle
Fingers crossed! 👍
I am so glad that you got approval for plans for your house!!
Yes! Thank you. 😊
So excited for your building and restoration project , wishing you the best of luck .

As a building professional I love the plans best use of the space, keeping the aesthetic as best as possible and hopefully cost effective ….. restoring the veranda is essential for the view etc……can wait to see the work starting and progressing…….best wishes from Donegal x
Excellent. Thanks a million, Evelyn. Great to see some new Donegal viewers. Keep ‘er lit. 😊
Looks great, Thank you for actually doing it properly not just knocking things down without consideration to the planning laws or the history of the building. Fingers crossed for you. It will be an amazing house when its done!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 😊
It's going to be beautiful. If you are half as good as builders as you are gardeners...it will be a showplace
Thank you so much 😊
I went through a similar challenge when refurbish from the scratch my country house at Alentejo but after all odds and typical Portuguese burocracy today I enjoy every minute. Wish you all the luck on the big challenge's ahead..
Keep following you.
Oh wow. Delighted to hear all turned out wonderful. 😊
I am playing 'catch-up' from your 1st video, resisting the temptation of watching the current videos, so this may be totally out of date! The plans look wonderful. You'll have a beautiful home when done. I am in awe of all the very hard work you have put into your land and your success growing fruit and veg. My preserving days are over and much missed, as are the 4 allotments we used to rent.
Enjoy your life, make the most of every day and have fun always...
What a wonderful comment. I really admire your patience and wish to welcome 🤗 you here. Enjoy ☺️
Your new home will be beautiful looking forward to see it being built the plans look exciting your windows looking out onto that lovely view amazing
Thank you 😊
I am very excited to see all these plans come to fruition!! It's going to be lovely!!
We hope so. 😊
ahh, look at this big smile on Meraid’s face 😀. That’s going to be big! Looks very promising. Can’t wait to follow your biggest adventure ever. Good luck, guys!
Definitely worth smiling about. Thank you, Claudia.
It’s going to be a very comfortable home! Can’t wait to see it get started, as I’m sure you feel the same.
So excited 😆
Welcome back! So excited for you both, and for the anticipated project.
I’m looking forward to the process, and seeing this beautiful house, once again turned into a home.
I love your videos, and look forward to the next!
Get well soon Meraid ❤
Thank you so much. 😊
Happy to see you survived the Portuguese Bureaucracy, I understand it is quit a nightmare. The plans sound great, and what an improvement , good luck !!!!!!

Gardening Coming next. 😊
What a YEAHHHHH, moment. Congratulations on getting the permits.
That was a very cute episode the two of you talking to the camera while looking at each other.
Your excitement is palpable all the way to Canada 🙂
That’s lovely to read. Thank you 😊
Congrats! we bought ourselves a ruin that is over 100 years old and we will begin our journey
Congratulations 👏
I can't wait to see the next part of your journey! The graded road is great, and I know what it must represent to you. This summer marked 6 years since we started our own old house rescue. 'Portugal time' seems very much like 'island time' where we are, but eventually time does pass and things do get completed 🥰 Pro-tip: grey hair is easily covered up by hair color, but don't put a foot through the floor (or on a roofing nail) 'cause you can't get a new foot! (lucky our nail didn't give my hubby tetanus 😔)
Glad to hear your hubby is fine 👍
So glad your going to get the house done, seems like ages since watching you both, it’s fantastic it’s going to get going.🎉🎉
That's the plan! 👍
Thank you so much for the update. I can’t wait to see the building begin.
You and me both 👍
I'm excited to go on this adventure with you both....❤ A big big job ahead...well worth it. Ty for sharing.... ❤❤❤
Can't wait!
Congratulations and looking forward to your next steps ! Enjoy also each day spent in this awesome natural surroundings 🙏🍀
Thank you so much 😊
I can completely relate. We bought a ruin in Spain, a farmhouse build in 1880, and we are starting with the architect. Such an adventure. I perfectly understand your feelings regarding the excitement and seeing the potential in these buildings. I wish you all the luck in the world and I'm so excited to see what you do. It's going to be so wonderful! I love the garden you've made. Saludos desde Asturias.
Oh wow!
Congratulations! You both look so animated. It looks like a big job, but it should be well worth the effort. Regards and best wishes from Australia 💚
Thank you so much 😊
Good luck with the builders, and the rebuilding. Look forward to seeing it eventuate. Take care, and hope you get better soon.
I’m almost 100 percent again. Thank you for kind wishes. 😊
All I can say is wow.
Thank you 😊
Love the door bell
Thank you 😊
Greetings from Lisbon 🍀 These rules about the windows and doors are so absurd. They’re really good at making things complicated
Best wishes, God bless you both
Thank you 😊
