In this episode, we follow the first day of painting as our painters prime the entire exterior and begin applying the first coats of color. Seeing the warm, blush-toned ochre appear against the white plaster was one of those renovation moments that made us stop and realize just how far this old water mill has come. But there is plenty more happening behind the scenes. We head into town to deal with yet another piece of paperwork for our Portuguese habitation license, visit a local quarry to choose granite for our upcoming landscaping and paving work, and catch up with a local farmer, and friend, who is working on regenerative land and water management in the Monchique mountains. And while this episode is filled with an exciting renovation milestone, we're also sharing a little more honestly about what's been happening behind the scenes in our lives lately — including some difficult losses and the challenges of caring for our cat Baby during her treatment. This has been one very long adventure, and we're getting closer and closer to the "finish line"... sorta 🥰 Thank you for being here and following along with our renovation of this very special home ❤️ ► Subscribe for a new video every single Sunday: https://bit.ly/3fW095N ► Sign up for our weekly(ish) Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/bn13VD Where we get our music 🎶: http://epidemicsound.com/referral/x7uwj3 ► JOIN US ON OUR SOCIALS: https://www.instagram.com/mrandmrsadventure https://www.instagram.com/heradventure FaceBook: https://www.facebook.com/mrmrsadventure/ TikTik: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrandmrsadventure Our blog: http://www.mrandmrsadventure.com Our Amazon Affiliate Shop organized all nice for ya: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrandmrsadventure ► CAMERA GEAR: ORIGINAL VLOGGING CAMERA: https://amzn.to/2DZo3M2 UPGRADED VLOGGING CAMERA: https://amzn.to/3GmGqJm MAIN VLOGGING LENS: https://amzn.to/40ITvoo GOPRO: https://amzn.to/40ITDnS DRONE: https://amzn.to/3nF5THl ALL OTHER PHOTO/VIDEO GEAR: https://amzn.to/2PzrwSJIs As always, we are so grateful to have you joining us on our journey here and we appreciate all your support ♡ #offgrid #Restoration #Portugal

Love the blush color! It’s perfect. So sorry for the loss of your Nanna. Praying Baby is well soon!
Its absoluty ok that you show sad things. Once i cried watching when Brittany shared her eating disorder. It was very healing for me, going through it myself.
I’m so sorry for your loss of your grandmother and neighbor. Also wishing sweet baby a speedy recovery. I absolutely love the blush color! It’s perfect! Gorgeous!
After 4 YEARS of renovating this water mill, seeing the first coat of color go onto the exterior felt absolutely surreal 🥹 What do you think of Ochre Alhambra now that you can finally see it on the house?! And if you've been following the renovation from the beginning… can you even remember what this place looked like when we first arrived? 🙈🥰🙏💪❤
Sorry for your loss. Sending you love. ❤
Hang in there. You guys will come through better and stronger .
Sending love and holding your hearts in the light while you grieve your loved ones and hoping that helps while you're in the thick of it. Don't forget to be gentle with yourselves, to stop and breathe when you need to, to get sunshine and wind on your faces, and take breaks when you need them. It doesn't matter in the long run how long these videos are. We're here and we support you, regardless. Sending hugs all the way from Vermont, and little meow from my kitty too.
Love the microphone holder at the end 😂. The colour is spectacular, it may sound strange but it reminds me of the warm light glow you get at sunset ❤

The painters are fabulous, as is the color! The watermill is now a wonderful part of the natural landscape!
A quote from Angel Feathers Insights - May all the good you are needing in your life find you with ease. So sorry for your losses - stay strong and positive ❤
Paint roller mic is the best one yet.
It looks fantastic. I can't wait to see all the landscaping in progress.
The watermill is looking amazing. Hang in there with the Permits. Being Portuguese and having a place in caldas da rainha. It's taken 4 years to get our place legalized after inheriting the house from my parents😊😊😊.From Niagara falls Canada
The color looks so GOOD...such a wonderful milestone of accomplishment you two.OXOXOOX One of the most difficult life lesson of all in my 65 years of life has been saying goodbye to my loved ones Especially My own Dearest Gram, my heart goes out to you for the loss of Drews Nana❤ Their love shaped our lives in the most precious of ways and they will ALWAYS be in our hearts... till we are with them again one day 💕
Drew, I am SO sorry for the loss of your grandma; even if we are blessed to have a parent or grandparent for many, many years, we are never ever prepared to lose them. Sending prayers of comfort for both you and Brittany!
House looks beautiful! So sorry for your losses 💔 Hope lBaby gets better after her meds!
Thanks for sharing, openly and honestly, what's been happening behind the scenes! Yes, you both always show us such positive attitudes with no matter what you've encountered during this renovation, so we don't always know all the downsides that are going on, too! It's good for you to let us know that life happens amid it all! Don't worry, it won't be a downer for the viewers, just a reality of life that we all can appreciate happens! Boris and Natasha are glad to hear that Baby is getting better! They are usually at my side when I watch your videos and when they hear Minou and Baby mewing, their ears perk up and they come look at the screen! The color of the exterior is beautiful! So perfect! Getting so close, and I'm sure all the paperwork will all fall into place, but I know it has to be frustrating that it's so random you have to come up with different items! Hang in there! You got this and the reality of the dream is coming soon! 💚💚🐈⬛🐈⬛😸
That does look blush, love it
Britney, 1st I have to tell you that you look great. You guys need to be proud of yourselves when looking back and seeing what you both accomplished. You took on this huge project and you're nailing it. Your water mill looks amazing. You have actually inspired me to fix my house up. Sending you guys much love and light. Stay strong 💪 🧜♀️ 🧜♂️ ❤❤
