Nothing beats the smell of clothes dried out in the sun. The best way indeed.

GM Maria. I have never tried that combination of beef and cabbage in a stew. Something new to try here then because we have been getting a lot of rain and it is stew weather here 😊

Thank you 🙏

Our biggest challenge so far living in this old property has been the lack of toilet and bathroom. We have had to resort to various creative solutions but as the fall has arrived and with it, rain, we are really glad that the work in our bathroom has finally started. Here are some photos of the progress so far. #buildstr #homesteading #offgrid

It has been raining a lot lately, so I am not sure how well our fall garden will do. We have some garlic, some cauliflowers and some radishes going at the moment, trying to #growyourownfood. We have left some flowers for the pollinators, hopefully these help them in this chilly weather. Husband has been working hard all day trying to fill the deck area with the rubbles. Our daughter took her first steps yesterday and since then she just wants to walk all the time. And our spring water tap is back to it's full strength now. All in all, it has been a great day. GN!! #offgrid #homestead #fall #garden

As promised, the progress pictures from the bathroom. The plumber is coming somewhere end of this week to fix the water outlets and everything else. Let's see if this time things will work out as per the planning. #buildstr #offgrid #homestead #construction

Sometimes when it feels like things are not moving along, it is good to look back at the pictures from before and compare them to how far we have come now. It has been tough to get this project going. We have been living in a small 10 de meter space for the last half year with our baby daughter. We have no running water, no facilities and every chore has to be done by hand. So survival in itself takes up half a day each day. But slow and steady, we are moving forward. Hopefully we get to move into at least the ground floor before Christmas this year. #offgrid #homesteading #buildstr #building

GN! Enjoy this cool video from my garden today. Thank you dear husband for your great sound effects 😜 #garden #homesteading #offgrid #nature

Yes, but very slowly 😅

We live in Portugal. But we have seen this type of bricks and method of building in Spain as well. So it makes sense I guess that Brazil would also share this type of construction method 🙂
