Thanks a lot - were you able to view it without any problem? (someone else said they only had audio).

Hey there Daniel - thanks for letting me know...our test works...I think there might be a toggle between video and audio...depending on how you watch it, but just in case, here's the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/tlUA8kdzeik

Somehow I missed the fact that there were NO buildings there at all! Hope to visit sometime in the future. 🤞

Amazing to see it all come together like that. The end of a chapter but just the beginning of the book!

We finished building and moved in on 14.12.2020, and we're still "snagging" a 4bed house, small garden and pool. What you've achieved over a similar period is phenomenal, as is your retention of sanity, perspective, and humour. Now. it's time to live the dream. I do hope you can, so go on; you've earned it.

I think you have managed to compile a wonderful summary of what it means to make something from scratch. Literally! We so enjoyed looking at it, because our superb memories of our stay over my birthday came alive again. What the film cannot show is the beauty, peace and tranquility of the Vale das Estrelas. We will return! Happy and successful New Year to you and Ana from me ‘n Clive!

P. S. Knowing well the dirt road into the woods to the retreat, Clive remarked you still didn’t explain how the heck you got all of that heavy equipment up to the building site!
