It’s Year 2 of restoring our abandoned $32,000 stone house in rural Portugal. We’re still living off-grid — no kitchen, no bathroom — but here’s what we’ve built so far.
This slow renovation is teaching us everything: how to live with less, how to build from scratch, and how to turn a ruin into a real home.

We’re Omar and Andrea. Four years ago, we bought this abandoned property in Portugal for 30,000 Euros, including a 100-year-old stone house and a few crumbling outbuildings. We shipped our container home here and began this incredible DIY journey. Today, this container is more than a house—it’s a home filled with warmth, love, and endless memories.
