Our team returned to install a 200-liter solar hot water system on the roof, giving us the possibility of hot showers powered by the Portuguese sun. We also installed our very first air conditioner and dehumidifier, an important step toward creating a healthy, comfortable home and securing our habitation license. Inside the mill, we finished grouting and sealing the theater room and foyer floors, continued preparing the lower bathroom, and made progress on plumbing connections for our future laundry room. Meanwhile, our carpenter returned to transform the rough staircase structure into what may be one of our favorite features in the entire house — a handcrafted, bespoke European oak staircase 😍 As we get closer to move-in day, we're also starting to ask bigger questions: Where will the furniture go? What will daily life actually look like inside this house? After more than a decade of living in small spaces, imagining life inside a full-sized home feels both exciting and unfamiliar. Join us for a busy day filled with progress, problem-solving, beautiful craftsmanship, and a few moments that remind us why we started this journey in the first place ✨ Thank you for being part of the adventure 😘 ► Subscribe for a new video every single Sunday: https://bit.ly/3fW095N ► Sign up for our weekly(ish) Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/bn13VD Where we get our music 🎶: http://epidemicsound.com/referral/x7uwj3 ► JOIN US ON OUR SOCIALS: https://www.instagram.com/mrandmrsadventure https://www.instagram.com/heradventure FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/mrmrsadventure/ TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrandmrsadventure Our blog: http://www.mrandmrsadventure.com Our Amazon Affiliate Shop organized all nice for ya: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrandmrsadventure ► CAMERA GEAR: ORIGINAL VLOGGING CAMERA: https://amzn.to/2DZo3M2 UPGRADED VLOGGING CAMERA: https://amzn.to/3GmGqJm MAIN VLOGGING LENS: https://amzn.to/40ITvoo GOPRO: https://amzn.to/40ITDnS DRONE: https://amzn.to/3nF5THl ALL OTHER PHOTO/VIDEO GEAR: https://amzn.to/2PzrwSJIs As always, we are so grateful to have you joining us on our journey here and we appreciate all your support ♡ #offgrid #Restoration #Portugal #Bluetti #primeday

You could put the gym where the camper/van currently is (under the awning) and away from the house since it’s more utilitarian. It would be a great space for yoga because you’d be outside in the garden. The theater room would be a cool lounge area.
You should paint the rooftop tank the terracota colour.
The wooden stairs are beautiful!
The steps are beautiful! Ferg did an incredible job! He is very talented, you all very fortunate to have him working for you.
I would recommend putting the couches by the kitchen/dining area. That way when one is cooking - the other can be on the couch / guests can be on the couch - and the cooker is included in conversations. Nobody is left out. The yoga studio -put on second level - and recreate an oasis up there ..everyone can enjoy..and no moving if guests come. Keep extra room for guests & babies.
Happy Father’s Day!!!!
I can't believe how much work has already gone into your beautiful home. It has been fun to watch your videos. Looking forward to next week. Love you guy's. ❤
Sending all the love and support around your future family. When you teared up saying the word baby and looked in the distance, I remember that feeling myself and I wish I could hug you through the screen. You have a village in your followers sending love and support and most importantly hope. ❤
The stairs, all the stairs, are amazing! 🤩👌 Air conditioning and solar water heater too. Wow! ❤
Your house is becoming a home and it’s absolutely beautiful
Everything is coming along very beautifully ❤❤
I can't tell you guys about how proud I am of you. The mill is absolutely beautiful, and it won't be long before you will be living in it. As I've said for many months, the only way to eat the proverbial elephant is one bite at a time and it looks like you are getting close to having it gone.
It is coming together beautifully! I love the wooden stairs!
the stairs are gorgeous.
Such an exciting time! You might want to put the living room in the theatre since it’s a showcase spot and leave the yoga/exercise area down below. You could get lovely rice paper screens, or something, to make it more private. You’ll want that 2nd bedroom for guests and future child. What fun that you’re at this point!
Your home is taking shape with such love and care thank you for inviting me along on your journey amazing 👏🤛😃❤️🤗
Looks like you’ll be having your first Christmas living in the mill! Sure hope so!
Your Staircase is Gorgeous! ....one of the best I have ever seen! 🤩 Well done. > The nicest staircases are often made of wood... particularly hardwoods like 'Oak' which is valued for its durability and attractive grain.
The steps are gorgeous and I am glad the kitty approves 😊❤
Good morning sweet friends, from Harley, Ryder and Callie to your 2 girls.😽😽😽🐾🐾🐾
