Back in September 2021 we met Eveline. She bought a property in Central Portugal and drove from Scotland in her camper van with her two cats to start a new life.
Renovations are now underway and in this video we catch up with the progress so far.

Isn’t it just marvellous Ruth, Eveline certainly gathers no moss (I think that’s really a Dutch trait of excellent organisation and planning) The house will be both ascetically pleasing and extremely practical …. I’d love to see Eveline doing garden produce and preserving vlogs … we need to persuade her ! 🙏☘️😘

Oh wow, thanks for the content. I am inspired. Love the stone work. I am 52 from South Africa, planning to purchase a renovation project in the next 12 months for my retirement in Portugal. Not sure if I can live in an isolated village but with close neighbors I can do, even a semi detached. Am not good with my hands so acres of land would be difficult to manage for me. Very happy for this brave lady. Nothing gives one peace of mind than having your own debt free place to call home 🏡. Am currently traveling through Europe working as a freelancer. Luggage is always a problem. Having a home base would solve the problem. I can't wait!

The new layout is a much better design than the original one ….👍 But I am so very impressed with the work those builders have done, it is so neat and perfect finishing , a rare commodity indeed AND they are keeping very much to schedule … next update maybe you could give out their business name and contact … 👷‍♂️👷‍♂️👷‍♂️ they would be in great demand after seeing your works 🤞 Speaking of next update I feel you need to get back very soon Luise as work has continued to motor on rapidly ! 🚽🚿🛁🧻🪠🚰 Great to see you looking so relaxed and well through all this Eveline … and outstanding that you have managed to progress with lush vegetable patch AND pick olives AND do so much preserving …. Superwoman !!! Perhaps there is some sort of vortex around your property where time goes Slllllllooooiwwwwwllllllyyyyy ….. 😂 Thank you Luise for this vlog … 🙏☘️😘

Had to go back and watch the beginning. The pointing looks 😍 and the the wall they broke through to make the door was thick! I wonder if Eveline will share more costs of the work done. Most videos I watch are of people doing work themselves, so it’s hard to determine labor costs. Would love to see tour of Eveline’s larder when it’s completed. Gardening, canning, preserving…it all sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing, Luise! And, way to go Eveline!!

The original quote was €21000, more roof over the real shed was added €1200. The door to the kitchen was not in the quote and the window in the bathroom upstairs €850. The borehole was €3740, the electricity, digger for all the trenches and submersible pump €2306 so I have spend so far just over €29000

@Carrington Herrin I think that a lot of people passed away due to so-called COVID. There are just old people in the villages. House prices are still affordable in Central Portugal. Don’t do politics, but I believe that CDU is big here seeing all the posters.

There are no jobs for the Young people, so they move away to the big cities, and the old members pass away, they cant return because theres no way to make money there, so they sell the land...polítical preocupates because Chega a radical right moviment won many deputies, mostly in the interior districts, because of "invasion" of foreigners that only want to buy cheap land...and just dont care about the country, the know the costums, the language....the people.

Hallo. Is het mogelijk om bijv. een Engelse of Nederlandse ondertiteling onder de filmpjes te zetten? Ik vindt het proces dat jullie mee maken interessant maar niet altijd goed te volgen. Mijn Engels is wat minder, maar ik kan de tekst wel volgen. Als er nog veel afleveringen volgen zou het ook makkelijk zijn om ze te voorzien van een volgnummer. Ik hoor het wel. Karel Zoetermeer.

Karel, als je in de rechter boven hoek van je KZfaq scherm op de drie vertikale stipjes klikt en dan op captions klikt kun je ondertiteling instellen. Ik hoop dat dat helpt. Er komt denk ik nog 1 vervolg video. Eveline

I took the ferry from Plymouth to Santander with Brittany ferry’s . I did not use any tolls in Spain, in Portugal you don’t have to use tolls. Up to Castelo Branco the non-toll roads are more or less alongside the motorway A23. Just avoid toll roads in your satnav.
