Another great vlog folks, both getting more and more off grid knowledge as the weeks go by. Please read up and get some knowledge on living and being around snakes! Identify what type it is first and take the appropriate actions if needed. Outdoor kitchen looking great and if it’s OK for you both, then it’s OK! Please stop thinking about what others may say/think about your work it’s what’s good for you both that counts. Keep the faith and continue looking after each other.

I see you take the time to answer most all the incoming comments. Shows your commitment to your viewers. Well done. I had a thought about your rats in the United States we often place mothballs (which are made of naphthalene) in and around locations we want to keep rodents out of. It works for me keeping rats and mice from getting in my vehicle's when parked long-term on the farm. A few under the hood or in a container sitting on the floor in the front of my pickup truck. No more chewed up wires. Thank you for sharing your journey with us

Some GREAT shots in this episode! You guys are getting it together. Good to see some critical thinking skills going into action! Laura try some raised beds or plant bags for some fresh veggies. You can have squash and peppers before you have to leave. Tomatoes and corn will take longer and may not have time to ripen. Leaf lettuce, mustard greens, collards, will all be pickable in less than 90 days. Worth a try at least once! Depending on customs, maybe you could even start the seeds BEFORE you get back to the land.

Good on you guys. BTW to get rid off snakes use moth balls you know those balls with strong naphthalin smell what you'd normally use against moths in your clothes storage. Strong smell repels snakes and rats as well. It may take some hours but they most definitely go away. Do not let them get wet as they would dissolve and lose smell and efficiency

A half serious proposal would be to find another couple with property in Spain or France that are in the same sort of residency limbo, and trade being on each other's land when you have to be out of your country of choice.

Morning Dan & Laura, wow wow wow you have done such a wonderfully beautiful job on the outdoor kitchen the patio and fire pit love beautiful and the colours of the rock when wet are absolutely stunning I really look forward to seeing it in about 5-10 years when it’s aged in with mosses and other lichens and plants growing on it it will only get better and better with the time. This is hard to see when it looks so beautiful as it is but it will. Quick question but don’t answer if your wishing to surprise us later Are you going to cement flat rocks to the outside kitchen or are you going to render and paint it? I’ve been waiting for your snake friend to come on the show and it’s so funny to see it disappear into the wall.😂😂😂 Good luck with your residency though I’m sure you’ll be fine in the end but it’s a shame that they make you leave for so long thus preventing you from setting up a garden to grow your own food. But I’m sure you’ll succeed in the end. I’m now looking forward to next Wednesday evening. So it’s bye for now. Xx

Hi Both, As somebody who is in a similar position to you, but in Spain. (We literally arrived this week) one thing our solicitor told us was this… if you apply for a visa (or residency permit), once you’ve applied, you don’t need to worry about overstaying the 3 months. In fact, if you left applying until the last week of your 3 months, you can just stay on while the visa/permit is being dealt with, which can take ages. Also, our plan was to use the new digital nomad visa as we both work from home. I work for a Uk company and my wife is self employed. Turns out I was never able to get the DN visa as the company I work for would have to open an office in Spain. But what it has meant is that I am simply a dependant of my wife, who will be able to get the visa as self employed. The Portuguese DN visa requires just over £700 p/m income, but not from each of you. If you’re able to increase the revenue of these videos (or make more in order to generate more money), this should help with getting a residency permit. Also, once there you have the olives to sell, if you wanted? Good luck!

Cool Spain hope that goes so well for you and thanks for sharing all the informative information really good to read and thanks for sharing how you have navigated it all :) So not sure if Spain is same Portugal but with the way our self employment is structured the visa that we can only unfortunately go for is the Digital nomad visa. We are assessing all options but would take a complete resurrecting of our business, so lot going on ❤❤❤❤
@jamierothwell6789
@jamierothwell6789 10 ай бұрын
Sorry, I’ve just noticed my mistake. It’s not £700 pm is it. It’s FOUR times that amount. Yikes! One other things which I believe is the same in Portugal as it is in Spain is to get your visa whilst IN Portugal as it lasts longer. Spain is 3 years. Getting our visa in the UK would have meant it only lasted 1 year. Finally, I would say this… I’m sure you have already, but get yourself a solicitor that makes everything easy to understand. We are currently on our third and she is excellent. She’s made everything much more “user friendly”, if that makes sense? No trying to circumvent the law by doing other things or things we weren’t happy with (like the previous 2). Again, good luck to both of you. I love watching your videos and what you’ve done with the place. If you fancy popping over to Valencia between November and January to help me with the olive harvest, I won’t say no! 😂

I wonder if the snake will raise a little family of its own, in place of the rats? Is there someone locally who can identify the snake for you? Anyway, stay safe guys, much love for you & your little patch of earth ❤

There are no "killer" snakes in Portugal. At least that's what experts say. There are about 11 different snakes, some non-venomous, some venomous, but not really dangerous for humans. They can attack you and (some can) bite you of course. If they are cornered or feel that they are under attack. On the downside. Some people are allergic to snake venom, like some are allergic to bees or wasps. Also a small child or toddler theoretically could get hurt by (mild) snake venom because of their much smaller body size. To me it looked like a green snake, but i'm not sure because it was inside not in the bright daylight. If it is green it might be a Grass snake, they normally live close to the water, a river lake or pond.

@@petervermeer.4904 This is not true there is a poisonous snake in Portugal her name is Lataste's viper (Cobra cornuda). This snake a few years ago a boy with 10 years old from England in the Geres forest almost lost his life because this snake. The last know dead was 30 years ago one old man with 70 years die, but because he dont see the snake in the brambles and wait to long to search the hospital. He thought it was a wasp that had stung him. The next day his daughter find him in very bad state at home and run with him to hospital and was to late to save his life. The daughter reported that he had referred to a wasp and later in the autopsy it was discovered that it had been with the venom of this snake. They normally only live in mountains with lots of rocks. Very very rare to find them in a terrain like that, but is not impossible. The snake is very small i do think the maximum total length is 70cms, they hate using his venom to attack because they need him to hunt small rodents and birds. But yes in the last 30 years only one dead and a a dozen cases where people have their lives threatened. You can find the news of the boy if you make a search in google with "Snake bite drama in Penela: child in serious condition". Sorry my broken English.
