We're finally turning the watermill from a renovation project into an actual home 🚽✨ Use code: ADVENTURE for 25% off Glacier Fresh here: https://bit.ly/4zaHHgg Become a Patron for personal updates, BTS footage and more ❤️ https://bit.ly/3J9kKoa After three years of renovating our abandoned watermill in Portugal, we're finally reaching the point where it can actually function like a home. But first… we have a problem. Our gray water system is completely backed up, leaving roughly 250 gallons of water sitting in our pump box. Without getting this working, we can't continuously use the kitchen, finish the bathroom, or eventually live inside the watermill. So Drew takes on a job neither of us expected to be doing ourselves: figuring out and installing our septic pump system. And of course, it doesn't go exactly according to plan. After cleaning out years of mud and debris, making another trip to the hardware store, measuring, cutting, gluing and assembling what feels like a million pieces of PVC, we finally get the pump installed and tested. Meanwhile, we install our beautiful old market find sink, add a new brass faucet, install our first proper flushing toilet, and finally have running water inside the bathroom! And then comes some HUGE news: our electrical inspection passed with flying colors, bringing us one major step closer to finally receiving the habitation license we've been working toward for the past three years. This watermill is finally starting to feel like home.

The AI photo with the future garden-entrance… guys it’s a DREAM I can’t wait to see it complete!!!
Drew, your resourcefulness, ability to get stuck in and do the right is incredible!!! You just figure it out and get it done!! 🎉❤
That sink in the bathroom is fabulous! Drew’s can-do attitude is also a treasure.
Thanks mr mrs adventure for the excellent new video.
Cue the angel chorus at 4:21 as we witness THE man reading the INSTRUCTIONS. ❤😂 Respect!! Drew you are a hardworking, wise and lovely man. 🎉
We have a Toto Japanese toilet that sprays us clean. Love love love it. Rarely need TP. The seat instantly heats up when we walk into the room. Such a pleasure and environmentally good.
Drew really is a Superman!
Hey people out there, like, subscribe and HYPE!!! This hard working couple deserve it.
This is such a good channel! You guys should have a million subs
You're learning SO much, Drew! And when things need repairs/renewals in the future you'll know how it all works. That's a great insurance! (and I think your choice of toilet may have not matched with the plumbing. Your toilet is very wide because of the closed in base, not like most toilets you see in the UK, for sure!)
Can’t believe you are hitting 200,000 and not 2M!! Love you
I love the drone shots, even the roof lines are charming and lovely. Drew is such a resourceful and fearless guy regarding the odd projects.
I am celebrating with you living in your own home, that you designed with your mind and souls, and you built with your own hands (plus artisan friends)!! I found you during the van life content boom in 2020, and you're the only one I still make sure I watch every week. I know I'm a stranger, but a stranger who is so proud of both of you. The resilience, patience, grace, determination and kindness you have shown throughout the whole process is inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I can't even imagine the feeling you must have to finally stay in your own home, with working toilets and sinks. A thousand congratulations!! Looking forward to the finishing touches!
that outside patio/entry area when done is going to be amazing!
Drew you are a champ! So handy and a hard worker! Admire you. ❤
Love how the house will look in the future. You're doing great leaps towards that dream-house! :)
Get a Japanese bidet toilet seat for the bathrooms and then you use far less toilet paper anyway. And it’s cleaner 😊
The first video I watch each and every Sunday. I never say much, but lately I have felt compelled to. Great video once again, and I am so happy that you are moving forward with flying colors toward getting the habitation license. The house is looking absolutely beautiful. Love Love Love! <3
Running water in the house is so awesome congratulations n many blessings from North Texas ❤❤
👍💡Brilliant !!
