This week we found a way to save over €2k on our old stone cabin renovation! 🤩 Say whaaat??! Building our own home as amateur DIY-ers always results in challenges, & budget control is a constant battle as we transform our abandoned farm stone house.
Quotes for custom-made shutters for our cute cottage’s 3 little windows blew the budget for this building project right out of the water, so we calculated what it would cost if we did it ourselves & were pleasantly surprised….albeit a bit daunted!
So like most jobs here, we’re going DIY & creating our own bespoke wooden shutters - but we weren’t prepared to compromise on style or quality! Well, after decades of neglect, this old abandoned cabin only deserves the best right?! 😉 But if we were going to pull this project off, we’d need to do some tricky calculations, precision woodworking & have patience by the bucketload! 😅 Wish us luck! (Confidence going into the project….50/50!)
LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it and SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Portugal and the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone home, setting up systems to grow some of our own food and finally restoring the 100+ year old 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 off grid Portuguese farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful 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.
