Have you checked your outside drainage ? The water looks like it's driving through the bottom of the wall, maybe you need to dig a bit more and put a better fall and render your base of the wall with waterproof in it ! Then backfill with pipe drain and gravel !
I’m currently watching your video from my hospital room in Brest, France. I’ve been working my way through cancer of the larynx for 2 years. (I hope I’m winning) my reason for telling you is in the hope that you both will think a bit more about your health. You are both an inspiration n your attention to the detail of your work but if you don’t slow down just a little or take a few more trips away you many not have your health to enjoy your building success. Take care and have a great Christmas. Ps I’m out of hospital tomorrow and intend to be in my camper van by the beach of Brittany on Christmas Day 🖖 live long and prosper.
Even for a Spaniard who forgot a lot about his school English, it is well understood that you are tired. That project is a very hard thing for two people. You are also documented to show it to us. In the middle of a pandemic with mutations. A Japanese thought goes " A retreat is better than a defeat. You have to know when to stop, take a breath and continue with more desire again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
In the camper or the barn is just geography. The true blessing and gift is that you have each other. Theo, you took amazing care of Bee when she needed support. Please take time to care for yourself as well as you take care of her. ❤️ Thank you for keeping it real.
Bee and Theo - John says “we are here to watch the journey - not the deadlines.” Give yourself time to live life! Theo, we weren’t sure if you said you were “autistic” or “artistic.” So you are both. You have incredible drive and vision. We just love you! We would love to see you off on an adventure!
At the futur you must do also an (""alpendre)"" to protect these wall from the rain that do infiltration throw the stone an other components of these wall ("empena") .IS N't easy to isolate these one,there are some materials like invisible tints you may to allocate Do a better drainage of the soil ,,,the double one with stone very deep and some flick of air .

That hadn’t occurred to me as I heard autistic, which being qualified to diagnose autism it had never occurred to me. However, I very much know artists to be perfectionists as well.
You say you are autistic. Certainly you are a role model for my family of autistic, creative, sensitive, loving and very honest folk, who likewise are autistic. We admire you so much
(In my “mom” voice..) THEO!!! Don't you dare get down on yourself!!! You sit back and watch your own videos!!! You will see how far you've both come!! You two have been AMAZING through this very stressful endeavor. SERIOUSLY AMAZING!!! You just take a break. Enjoy your Christmas holiday and just BREATH! Love on each other. ENJOY your property. Just put everything out of your minds and focus only on each other. You're such a wonderful couple and I for one just adore you both. I've watched you so long now you're like a part of my family. They're all far away too. lol Needless to say I understand what its like to feel lonesome and overwhelmed. If anyone can overcome it's you two! So MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! We love you both!!! ~Lisa
Said so perfectly Lisa Booker. Theo and Béa, you have done amazingly with all the obstacles that you have had to overcome. As far as the nasty comments, haters got to hate! I’m sure they are just envious and/or jealous of what you two have accomplished. Don’t ever let them get you down. The majority of us love you both, love watching you, we are praying for you both and cheering you on. Building a home takes so much time and energy. My husband and I have been down that road and I understand how you are feeling. You will finish with such a feeling of confidence and appreciation in the home that you have built. Enjoy your time off with family during this holiday season. Merry Christmas! 🎄 May the New Year 2022 bring you both an abundance of blessings. We will all be here continuing to cheer you on. ❤️
Joining you in my best Mom voice... totally agreeing with what you said !! I couldn't have said it better !! Mom's unite for Bea and Theo !!! Lol !! Love you two !!!
Listen, you two: Keep that optimistic, celebratory, life-affirming spirit alive. You are inspiring a lot of people. It's clear that your love for each other is the driving force that makes it all happen -- and makes it all worthwhile.
Absolutely. You inspire me. Thank you for all you do to share with us. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Love to All Four of you :-). Alberta, Canada
If you're are tired, take a rest. 😘😘 But please, do one thing first. Stop making apologies for the choices you make. It doesn't matter what other people think, it's YOUR life, your house, your journey. We got the honor to join you on this journey and to support. I love your videos, for the honesty, the authenticity. Keep on going on you own pace. It's not a sprint. Have an amazing christmas and a wonderful new year!
I'm sorry this happened. A big disappointment when you've worked so hard to get to this point. Sometimes you just have to slow down and enjoy some time together relaxing. You're such an amazing couple. The love between you shines through. Take care of yourselves.
Honestly I can’t believe that there are really silly people that would leave nasty comments, to two wonderful people like you. Theo and Bea don’t you dare get down on yourself, both are so amazingly awesome and so real. Yes take a few days off, I always say home is where your Heart is. Life happens, one day at a time.
Both of you are real, that's why I watch you. This year's journey has been filled with ups and downs. You both have given your all; so enjoy your Christmas Break. 🎄🎉🎄🎉Good Luck for the New Year
Wonderful to see other ppl with Autism doing so wonderfully in getting on with life! 3 of our 4 in this family are in the Autism spectrim, all now adults. Having had little support in years past because of lack of awareness and understanding, this family can truely appreciate how very successfully your family is progressing. Building a home is one of life's most challenging tasks, and dealing with other issues while doing so, puts you both in the "Super Star" status! Relax and enjoy the Holidays...you desrve it!
Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you burn out, you aren't being good to yourself. It will all get done. Relax and enjoy your time together. You have a cute little camper to live in. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Theo and Bee, as a fellow neurodivergent, I completely understand the Drive that drives you. I can keep going when everyone else around me falls, but I pay the price for that. Rest and Enjoy your holidays. Remember as you build your barn, you are building yourselves. I know the process can be frustrating and difficult at times, but you've already created this Barn home in your visions and it's just a matter of walking through the experience. These past two years have pushed and tested us all. I think the two of you are doing beautifully. I wish you both a blessed and inspired New Year. Happy Christmas!
Yes, TAKE THAT REST! You guys did absolutely amazing this year, you'll always look back and wonder how you pulled it of. We've been watching since the beginning and can't even believe how this barn looks...and you did practically everything by yourselves! That's mad! To say you deserve a break would be an understatement. Merry Christmas, and here's to a 2022 with more free time in your beautiful home & land 🥂
The physical labor is nothing compared to the emotional toll building your dream house can do. You deserve time off to relax both body and mind. Happy Christmas to you Theo and Bea!
Oh my goodness, you two... I have to say- Theo's "queen's speech" was lovely. So real, heartfelt, and inspiring. I'm a fairly recent subscriber, but y'all have been an inspiration. I'm a widowed, working, single mom of an adult child with mental health issues (who is, most likely, on the spectrum as well). And it's hard to see through the day-to-day, to the possibilities of what the future may be. The struggle is real, but so is the payoff. Sunny days ARE ahead, and it's perfectly fine to "duck in out of the rain" for a while. And you can just sweep the "nasties" right out the door, where they belong (I know, easier said than done). Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us weirdos. Rest well, and be blessed. Sarah
Just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are. In good times and bad, you remain honest and real. Rest up guys, take as much time as you can and hopefully all will feel a little lighter. A very Merry Christmas to you both from myself and my two kids who also love watching your videos.
I have never been so happy to hear somebody say “we’re going to hire in some help”. I’m also happy to hear you are taking some time off. You have both achieved far more than you appreciate. I am so proud of you both. You are inspirational. Merry Christmas. 💕
I agree. If you look back at the video from last Christmas and compare the barn with where it is now, you will be able to pat yourselves on the back and rejoice at the progress you have made together. Many blessings to you both!
I am SO PROUD of you both. I too am a small business owner burning the candle at both ends. Giving myself permission to take a day off is a personally difficult one. But we have to do it! Otherwise, why are we working so hard? If you need it, I give you permission to take two weeks off with two catches... 1- you must have fun everyday after sleeping in as long as the cats will allow...2- that you come back when you are ready. Please feel the support and appreciation. Most of all feel the awesomeness of what you have accomplished. You are doing great! Hugs from America!
Both of you are doing an amazing job on your property. You both have tackle some very challenging projects all the while sharing/bringing us your extended family through the lens with. We “THANK YOU BOTH” Look at all that you both have accomplished this past year even with all the side paths you needed to take. They were all a part of your journey and growth. We each have those side paths that we end up taking but from those side paths we grow and learn. Theo and Bea I am so glad your channel found my in box. Thank you both for sharing “REAL” life, you both are so encouraging and I look so forward to all that this coming year holds for you both and to ALL of the family here in your channel❤️. You both are genuine and I think I can say this for ALL your TRUE followers…we love you both and wish a very merry CHRISTmas 🌲❤️
I really felt your emotions in this video. There are so many people rooting for you and loving the house you're building!! You are my favorite RUclips creators! I enjoy seeing the successes and the struggles you have while living off grid, and I so appreciate the effort you put in to show us your lives! Happy holidays, and much success in 2022!
The whole point of living your life style is that your time is your own! Stop apologizing-ly explaining to yourselves and your audience why things aren't done exactly on schedule. You are putting out great content - a huge job. You are renovating a structure in a foreign land and turning it into a haven - another huge job. And you are living life and supporting each other and getting through difficulties in a very public way. Take the time you need and take the time to enjoy your life even if things need to be done and have to be put off for another day. This video made me wish I could go help you! A very Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your delightful kitties.
Don’t think of it as a failure that you aren’t in the barn look at far you’ve come with the house. The barn has been there for 100 yrs and what you have done it will be there for another 200 so take your time. Spring will be the next deadline. Winter is a slow time for everyone. Enjoy what you have done. You two are amazing at what you have done so far. A home is a never ending project 😄. My husband is a remodeling contractor and our house is 125 years old and we’ve been in it for years and there is always something to do. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year 🎄🥂
Bee & Theo, your perseverance, honesty, hard work is what keeps us here. You are disappointed right now, I am not! I'd rather see you both healthy. You've got a whole life ahead of you; do things when you can (I know, easier said than done). Guess what? Now we have something to look forward to into the New Year: Your eventual move! 😍 Boas Festas e Feliz Natal.🎄🎉 Go easy on the bacalhau (cod fish-huge in Portugal Christmas eve).
Theo, everything you said is exactly why we love you both so very much. You are REAL and HONEST and I wish you and Bee the very best that life has to offer!! Your home is GORGEOUS!!! Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Blessed New Year!!
You have deserved a few days off soooo much! We did the same thing, renovate a little old house in Spain and it drains you, people have no idea! And the going against all odds and comments does too, but stick to your plans and ideas, it will all be worth it so much in the end!! My admiration for the both of you is immense. Merry Christmas! Lots of love from Spain 🎄💃🏻
That's EXACTLY why we're here for. You guys being so real. I actually felt for you Theo, as I would for my younger brother, you look so exhausted bro. Take that well deserved rest and all the BEST for upcoming holidays.
I love you both so much. I admire you as well. Go and rest because you will get your lovely and wonderful house. I wish you both, from the bottom of my heart, a wonderful Christmas and a much better 2022.Hugs
Wow...... how terrible. Was the rain. storm a tornado maybe? You work so hard until you just have to separate yourself from your work . Just like this little get away with friends to rest and have some fun. But don't give up. Your dream is bigger than anything. Sometimes I wish I was healthy and strong to help you guys. Bee you trip me out with all that you do. Theo I am so sorry about the wall. The rain was so hard it was able to penetrate through the concret and the rocks? The wind sure was powerful. You have done an amazing job on the tiny home, get away, like 1 weekend a month, go and stay in town. Have a great dinner and maybe a movie. But just relax even if it means to just sleep. Your bodies are so tired and exhausted. Time to catch up on much needed sleep. Then work out a plan. Your new house is going to be beautiful. Everything you have done and all that you do, you do to perfection. I was absolutely 💯 amazed at that brick wall, where your bedroom will be. Washing the rocks and the space fille? Oh my goodness it's just beautiful. All the layers of concrete mix on the other walls, with the last coat was the lime wash. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's all so gorgeous. Stay on track have an amazing Christmas with your friends. You'll come home all relaxed and ready to go. Stay well and most of all don't put so much pressure on yourselves. 1 day at a time.
No wonder I’m drawn to you guys! My daughter has autism. Bee, Theo, you’re the perfect couple. I love everything you guys do. It will be finished when it gets finished. What’s important is the journey and the beauty of it all. You’re house is a gem shining in the rain and wind. Much love to you and Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️
Omgosh, you two! Theo's Queen's speech was just the most honest, vulnerable thing ever! Tears of support, tears of love for you both and your journey. This little house is built with so much intention, it literally is a living breathing thing. Merry Yule, enjoy, rest, bask in your accomplishments. There is no hurry now, it will be ready when it's ready and in perfect timing.
It’s good to find things out before you move in, even though you were planning on pointing the wall eventually. Your thorough research and understanding just how that building needs to be finished is working out beautifully. Yes, our attention to detail is great for focus and problem solving😉 Merry Christmas Theo and Bea!
We have gotten so much joy out of watching you both. Theo, we are in awe of how positive you have remained through all of the obstacles you face in each episode. Bea has an amazing smile and we love that she took time to heal and is back better than ever. We started off watching a number of Portugal RUclipsrs but you have quickly become our favourite. We would love to love to sponsor a really nice dinner out for you two. Do you have an email address we could send you details of a voucher to? Merry Christmas to you both and we look forward to seeing you back in the New Year. Feliz Natal!
I love your show. Theo, please remember that people’s words say as much more about themselves than they say about you.Try if you can to not let unkindness or thoughtlessness hurt you. You both are wonderful people with big and beautiful dreams and I wish you both the best.
Bea and Theo, enjoy your days off. Eat, sleep and play. Fernando looked so cute in his Christmas scarf. But the best thing in this video was the spot for Manscaped. I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. Bloody brilliant. So have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
So flipping proud of you two…you have travelled the world and that was a success and so now your renovating your new home and your smashing it! Perseverance and dedication to fulfill your dreams will come true….much love from Canada …..
The shinning, consistent underlining of your videos is your honest optimism and how deeply respectful your love for each other is shown in both your actions and words. That strength will be the firm foundation of your lives together. We'll DONE you two. 🎄😘
You know delays happen. The important part is getting all the materials together and ready to go. It's already looking fantastic. 2022 will be amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Aw bless, don't be so down, the reason you're not living in the barn yet and floor not laid is that damp wall would have effected your floor and anything near it, so in a way its better found now than if you were living in barn. You will have many years to enjoy living in your barn so hang on in. You've come so far and achieved so much. ❤ Enjoy Chrismas ❤ and 2022 will be your best year❤
Bee and Theo, not only have you shown us how to construct a tiny home out of a abandoned animal barn, you're showing how to build a life, and a loving relationship. You two represent "couple goals". How to work together; care for one another, support one another. You also show the reality of the hard work, struggles, challenges, joys, and accomplishments on going onto raw land and building a tiny home with your two bare hards, or more correctly, four bare hands. You honestly show your frustrations when things sometimes seem overwhelming, but you process it, and very shortly refocus and get on with reaching your goals. I wish you the very best for new year and I hope you recharge during this holiday break. Best to you. Aloha Judy.
It is time for breathing, resting, appreciating all you have accomplished and looking forward to peace and balance in the new year. You two are doing amazing work and should not be worried about whether you are doing anything fast enough or good enough. All you contribute from yourselves and your projects has created wonderful ripples throughout the planet. We wish you good health and happiness now and in your continued journey forward. Boas Festas! Much blessings and love from our home to yours.
You do not need to apologize to your viewing audience. I especially love your beautiful attitude towards your work and each other. Go take a few days to relax and feel better. Y’all have all of my best wishes and blessings for a terrific Christmas and Happy New Year. Rest and enjoy each other!!💜💜💜
The day you finally move in will be like Christmas all over again!!! Your home is turning out to be so beautiful! Thank you for bringing us along on your fantastic journey💗💗💗
I'm so sorry about the wall. Please don't get burnt out guys. We're here for the journey not just the destination. Both my sons are on the spectrum so I get the being particular part. You do it the way you know how to do it.
I told my wife in November that if I pushed we would be finished by Christmas. I pushed and pushed till I hurt my back. I'm hoping now for sometime in January. We love you guys, just keep pushing, hug each other and when it's done enjoy it. We are patient, we will keep watching peacefully waiting for your beautiful home. Merry Christmas and God loves us all.
Theo & Bea, please take the much needed time to take care of yourselves. We all appreciate you sharing your adventures with us but your heath is most important. Much Love and Merry Christmas 🎄❤️ from Washington State USA
I think celebrating the "Scrap Pile" is just brilliant!! We've all had lots of scrap piles in out lives... I just never celebrated one... I was always so disappointed... I think you both are so clever and gifted... you have such deep pockets of humor and creativity to draw from... You make me more grateful every day... Both for the immediate and planned successes... And the delayed successes that we all crave. I "Thank You" for helping me to see more clearly... I wish you, your families and friends, a very wonderful Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year! Please take a break... Give your "burnout" a vacation... Treasure what you have... And will have very soon!
We've done the same, Theo, worked our guts out mostly on our own for 20 years, to get ourselves into a position of being debt free, owning our home (a converted Sprinter Van) and having TIME to live how we want to live now. It's worth every drop of that blood, sweat, and all the tears. Yep, next year is time to slow down a bit and enjoy the fruits of all your labour. We love you both, you inspired these two oldies to give it a crack (we binge watched your build videos last year to build out our van), and live the way we want. There will always be people who just don't get our "why" - that's their issue, not ours, not yours. Thank you! Have a blessed rest xxxx Rae & Nige, Australia
Just remember Theo the barn isn’t going anywhere. Take time to smell the flowers. Your are such an amazing couple. Have a Merry Christmas and a lovely couple of days off. You’ve earned it.❤️💙
It will be a great New Year in the barn! Step back and relax. Reflect on what great accomplishments you’ve both made this year. Thanks for letting us be part of your journey.
Aww guys, thank you for being so 'real'. Theo by you saying about having Autism, explains the precision and your attention to detail. Yes "things do happen for a reason". Just imagine if you had already put the floor down! All the ends would have been wet, from the rain coming through the wall!! It really must have felt utterly devastating to see the water damage. But I believe it was meant as a warning, to slow down and take a break. Bee knows how you are feeling, but you both need to heed the warning and think about both your health. The barn will still be there after a break. Take care. Merry Xmas to you both and to Gingy-Bear & Fernando. Best wishes and I look forward to more super videos in 2022. Love from Kt, GriffGruff 🐶 & SammySprout 🐶 x x x
Loved your speech Theo, your honesty is so refreshing. You've both done an amazing job so far and I enjoy every minute of time spent with you on RUclips. Have a wonderful Christmas and a good rest. You deal with setbacks in such a sensible and down to earth way and I admire you both very much! XX
Awww jeeze care for you both so much!! Been following for years, cannot tell you how much I love your influence in my life. Thank you to both for existing!!
So sorry for the setback: take a break. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! A King's speech indeed! Love you two for your honesty, recognizing our limits is so important. You've done a great job!
You both have done an “Amazing Job” building your homestead. Enjoying your journey from the start. Thank you for showing us the up and downs of your build project. Give yourself “Top Credit “ your both awesome ❤️🔥Happy Holidays And also to Fernando and Gingybear 🐈🐈⬛
How lovely to see the two of you together in the same shot! You handle things with such love and intelligence. Thank goodness the floor wasn't in when the water came through the wall, that could have been even worse! Many blessing to you both, you are certainly a blessing to me.
Honestly I’m really glad you’re talking about going a little slower to make sure you’re healthy both physically and mentally. What a positive example you are! Thank you♥️
Happy Holidays to you, Bea and Theo! You've persevered through a very very challenging 2021 but be proud of how much you have overcome and achieved! Here's to a 2022 filled with lots of love, light and laughter for everyone!
Bring on 2022 Theo and Bee! Be more self centred, think about yourself’s for a change and do it at your pace. Thanks for letting me ride 2021 through this journey with you highs and lows! Have a great Christmas 🎄 and a even better new year!!!!
It's practically impossible to stop yourself in your case Theo so this is why having rules and routine is important. You commit to taking rest breaks because the health and relationships need it. You've both done incredibly well this crazy year, so so much better than most would in your circumstances and I so much hope your 2022 is a whole lot easier. Enjoy your rest and Happy Christmas 🎄
I’m wondering if it was a bit of a blessing to not have the floor finished. There could have been more damage from the water, and less ability to see what happened. Theo, thank you for sharing that you are “on the spectrum” of autism. It is just a part of how how your brain works, and clearly it works well, creatively, and diligently. I appreciate being able to enjoy the ups and downs of your journey. I’m rooting for you, and amazed by your growth. You are inspiring and real.
You are both utterly amazing and such wonderful people. Chin up. Don't be afraid to have a weekend off every now and then. You need it. You deserve it.
As with any dwelling, there is always something that needs attention. You guys are doing an AMAZING job with this project. Enjoy a much deserved break 💕
I so look forward to "catching up" with you guys every week. The ups, the downs, we all experience these...it's just life happening. May you both have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
You are inspirational. I had three sons with autism (ASD) your determination and that of Bee is awesome and for me - a mum who lost a son to autism,depression, anxiety and body dysphoria and gender identity disorder, you fill me even more with hope and confidence and watching your progress over the last x number of years brings me joy. Thank you thank you.
Theo and Bee, you're both doing an amazing job, and remember Rome wasn't built in a day. Enjoy your break, you deserve it. Happy Christmas! 🎄 Love from Dudley. 💕🥰
I'm so happy to you say the positives in the mist of the truck problem. Silver linings for you getting the varnish on the floor boards. Inside work. 🙏🇺🇲♥️
Both of you truly deserve a few days off. Renovating the barn into a beautiful home has been a lot of physical and mental toll on the two of you. We love you and we all have our own ups and downs. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you all refreshed after your time off. God bless both of you.
Laughed and cried at this one.......probably your best video ever ! You've done an amazing job so far and should be incredibly proud 💖 best wishes to both of you.x
That sponsor content was epic! The autism makes a lot of sense why I like watching this channel so much. My 6 year old boy is diagnosed and we are probably on the spectrum as well. Take care of yourself guys! There’s no pressure from us.
You guys are the best! This 67 year old grand mother looks forward to each new video and I am proud of all your efforts. Merry Christmas from Louisiana in the US and please enjoy a few days off, you deserve it!
With tears in my eyes, I echo Lisa Booker's comments (I think she must have been reading my mind !). I feel like I just went thru a dozen emotions watching the Vid, from Bee's sense of humor dealing with the broken clutch, to watching the joy that you Theo always have riding your trusty tractor, to one of the funniest Promo spots I have ever seen (truly a laugh out loud moment) to watching and hearing your frustration with the rain infringement on the wall and figuring out how to deal with it, to such joy watching your Furnando be his playful self, and finally watching you Theo as you lay your heart out to all of us, which was so brave, and I love your honesty and your work ethic, and I along with so many others, truly love and care for you just the way you are, so never apologize, embrace your inner self and be proud of who you are, what you have done, and will continue to do. And Bee, you spirit always continues to inspire me as you take care of yourself, Theo, the Kitties, the chickens and a gazillion things that we don't even know about ! Watching this, I just wanted to reach out over the Big Pond and give you both Hugs, and yes, please make those New Years resolutions....slow down...take your time ...endure and enjoy the journey, take the time to rest, eat, reflect and have some fun each day, just keep on trusting and loving one another and trust the Karma, It will All be Okay. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! Now, get some sleep 😘
That would stop my heart in my tracks to see that wall. I'm so sorry Bee & Theo. I know what it is to be driven, best words of advice I was given 'patience'. I'm still working on that - but you two seem to be perceivering ! I'm on Team Indie Projects cheer team! You got this! And you got when to stop and breathe !
Take a breath you two.. stop and marinate on what you have accomplished… it’s amazing and beautiful, your determination, perseverance, love for each other is what keeps me coming back .. you inspire more then you know …rest, take a break.. we will be here cheering you on always.
As someone who is currently struggling with mental health issues I just want to say to Bee that hearing her chuckle is such an encouragement! As to the building project not being done for Christmas, that was just a date you hoped for and with all the supply problems this year it is a miracle you got as far as you did. Rest up and start fresh next year, there is no real deadline, just a self imposed one, be kind to yourselves x
Hang in there! Get the rest you so deserve. The “barn” will be waiting for you as we also will be waiting for you. 😁 Blessings to you both and a Merry Christmas. Be refreshed!
I am dumbfounded by the amount of hard work and dedication you two put into your projects. I’m amazed by how well you plan, decide and execute your activities. You have won my sincere admiration. Please do take some time for yourselves. Life is about finding balance but, most importantly keeping healthy. Think of all the time you’ll have afterwards to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Receive a big hug from one of your hundreds of fans. All the blessings & good wishes of this Christmas are sent your way for an even more successful 2022. 🎄🙏🏻💕🥰👍🏻🎉
Bee - your hair in those pigtails and beanie are everything! I'm so sorry the truck's clutch went out - how frustrating. I had no ideas what great actors you both are! I howled with laughter during your "commercial break!" Great working together! 🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄 Happy Christmas!
Keep it real guys , that’s why we love and respect what you are about ! Lots of us have deadlines we have to flex - it’s life and it’s not a failure. It will be amazing and we look forward to seeing you being able to relax and enjoy your beautiful home. Love and hugs xxx
Glad you've recalibriated and have put your health first, the absolute best thing for you right now 🤗💖. You two are incredible individuals and a blessed dynamic duo. I see no negative in how things beyond your control have unfurled and affected accomplishing your goals. Thank you for taking the time to talk us through how jam packed your lives are and your own personal challenges. I hope folks can be less judgy and demanding of their expectations for you as viewers can not fully appreciate what you slog thru to realize your dreams. Wishing you great rest (sneak some time in an unfinished house if the camper gets boring, it's YOUR house! 🤗), peace, self care, love love love, and yummy noms🌟🎄. 💖
By the way, as a former Sociologist Prof.& photographer, I commend you not only on the quality production of your content & editing (overall) with the bonus of remaining honest & sincere, as well as perfectly entertaining. I also totally enjoyed your production of the promotional for your sponsors of the male grooming kit. OFF THE HOOK BRILLIANT!!!
Great job! My son and hubby are both spectrum - you do an AWESOME job with supporting Bea and being flexible. Autism is a challenging divergence. You are right, you have to learn to balance the work, the house, and your lives. Good luck!
Aw guys I'm sure this was devastating to discover. Hopefully you guys get it sorted in time for New Years so you can start 2022 as your mean to go on. Definitely think you should make it a mon-fri job, even if it means 1 video a week. Your happiness and mental health and selfishly your videos are worth more than working yourself to the bone. Merry Christmas to you both ❤️
Merry Christmas to you both-and the cats!! Your home is so beautiful and you will be in it soon!! I loved the Christmas lights!! What a wonderful example of your spirit !! Dreams do come true-with lots and lots of work !! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your "family". Thanks for sharing, Theo-we love you and Bee and look forward to the new year. Forget the nasties-they do not count. Most people are good and kind and please don't allow the few to put a damper on your spirit. And you are so correct-you need to take more moments to "smell the roses". You are both so talented and hard working and I really admire you. Thanks for a grand experience.
Guys, please don't feel down about your damp patch... we live in an ancient Cretan stone house, and every year we get damp patches somewhere, despite trying to keep on top of it. Don't forget the climate you're in means that it will dry out for all of the summer, and once you get your pointing done, it will improve. But as anyone who lives in an old stone house can tell you, damp's kind of normal. One small patch like you have is actually a win! As long as don't put anything in front of the damp patch, it'll be fine.
A retreat is better than a defeat.....I love that. I feel so much love for you both and urge you to take time out for a LOT of self-care. Another good saying is 'you don't have to justify or explain yourself to anybody'. Take a break....we will all still be here wishing you health and happiness in 2022 xxxx

Manscaped 🤣🤣🤣👍
Theo is a natural-born comedian actor. Great job. You're hired.
Have you checked your outside drainage ? The water looks like it's driving through the bottom of the wall, maybe you need to dig a bit more and put a better fall and render your base of the wall with waterproof in it ! Then backfill with pipe drain and gravel !
I’m currently watching your video from my hospital room in Brest, France. I’ve been working my way through cancer of the larynx for 2 years. (I hope I’m winning) my reason for telling you is in the hope that you both will think a bit more about your health. You are both an inspiration n your attention to the detail of your work but if you don’t slow down just a little or take a few more trips away you many not have your health to enjoy your building success. Take care and have a great Christmas. Ps I’m out of hospital tomorrow and intend to be in my camper van by the beach of Brittany on Christmas Day 🖖 live long and prosper.
That was the best "commercial" I have seen in a long time. You two are a riot! Merry Christmas!!
Even for a Spaniard who forgot a lot about his school English, it is well understood that you are tired. That project is a very hard thing for two people. You are also documented to show it to us. In the middle of a pandemic with mutations. A Japanese thought goes " A retreat is better than a defeat. You have to know when to stop, take a breath and continue with more desire again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Beautifully put
Well said!
Thank you for putting my thoughts into words!
Well said.
Merry Christmas
In the camper or the barn is just geography. The true blessing and gift is that you have each other. Theo, you took amazing care of Bee when she needed support. Please take time to care for yourself as well as you take care of her. ❤️ Thank you for keeping it real.
Very well said!
Ó
Bee and Theo - John says “we are here to watch the journey - not the deadlines.” Give yourself time to live life! Theo, we weren’t sure if you said you were “autistic” or “artistic.” So you are both. You have incredible drive and vision. We just love you! We would love to see you off on an adventure!
Well said.
At the futur you must do also an (""alpendre)"" to protect these wall
from the rain that do infiltration throw the stone an other components of these wall ("empena") .IS N't easy to isolate these one,there are some materials like invisible tints you may to allocate Do a better drainage of the soil ,,,the double one with stone very deep and some flick of air .
You may do a observation of the localisation and inclination of the local .Some water may became by some where Escuse me my English ISN't,t DE better MERRY CHRSITMAS. AND ENJOY YOUR HOUSE AT PORTUGAL
dampens ?? Portuguese is empena ???? Will be???
That hadn’t occurred to me as I heard autistic, which being qualified to diagnose autism it had never occurred to me. However, I very much know artists to be perfectionists as well.
You say you are autistic. Certainly you are a role model for my family of autistic, creative, sensitive, loving and very honest folk, who likewise are autistic. We admire you so much
(In my “mom” voice..) THEO!!! Don't you dare get down on yourself!!! You sit back and watch your own videos!!! You will see how far you've both come!! You two have been AMAZING through this very stressful endeavor. SERIOUSLY AMAZING!!! You just take a break. Enjoy your Christmas holiday and just BREATH! Love on each other. ENJOY your property. Just put everything out of your minds and focus only on each other. You're such a wonderful couple and I for one just adore you both. I've watched you so long now you're like a part of my family. They're all far away too. lol Needless to say I understand what its like to feel lonesome and overwhelmed. If anyone can overcome it's you two! So MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! We love you both!!! ~Lisa
Said so perfectly Lisa Booker. Theo and Béa, you have done amazingly with all the obstacles that you have had to overcome. As far as the nasty comments, haters got to hate! I’m sure they are just envious and/or jealous of what you two have accomplished. Don’t ever let them get you down. The majority of us love you both, love watching you, we are praying for you both and cheering you on. Building a home takes so much time and energy. My husband and I have been down that road and I understand how you are feeling. You will finish with such a feeling of confidence and appreciation in the home that you have built. Enjoy your time off with family during this holiday season. Merry Christmas! 🎄 May the New Year 2022 bring you both an abundance of blessings. We will all be here continuing to cheer you on. ❤️
Joining you in my best Mom voice... totally agreeing with what you said !! I couldn't have said it better !! Mom's unite for Bea and Theo !!! Lol !! Love you two !!!
Listen, you two: Keep that optimistic, celebratory, life-affirming spirit alive. You are inspiring a lot of people. It's clear that your love for each other is the driving force that makes it all happen -- and makes it all worthwhile.
Absolutely. You inspire me. Thank you for all you do to share with us. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Love to All Four of you :-). Alberta, Canada
If you're are tired, take a rest. 😘😘
But please, do one thing first. Stop making apologies for the choices you make. It doesn't matter what other people think, it's YOUR life, your house, your journey. We got the honor to join you on this journey and to support. I love your videos, for the honesty, the authenticity. Keep on going on you own pace. It's not a sprint. Have an amazing christmas and a wonderful new year!
I'm sorry this happened. A big disappointment when you've worked so hard to get to this point. Sometimes you just have to slow down and enjoy some time together relaxing. You're such an amazing couple. The love between you shines through. Take care of yourselves.
Thanks so much! A bit of time away will help a lot. Merry Christmas 🎄
Honestly I can’t believe that there are really silly people that would leave nasty comments, to two wonderful people like you.
Theo and Bea don’t you dare get down on yourself, both are so amazingly awesome and so real.
Yes take a few days off, I always say home is where your Heart is. Life happens, one day at a time.
Both of you are real, that's why I watch you. This year's journey has been filled with ups and downs. You both have given your all; so enjoy your Christmas Break. 🎄🎉🎄🎉Good Luck for the New Year
Wonderful to see other ppl with Autism doing so wonderfully in getting on with life! 3 of our 4 in this family are in the Autism spectrim, all now adults. Having had little support in years past because of lack of awareness and understanding, this family can truely appreciate how very successfully your family is progressing. Building a home is one of life's most challenging tasks, and dealing with other issues while doing so, puts you both in the "Super Star" status! Relax and enjoy the Holidays...you desrve it!
Don't put so much pressure on yourself. If you burn out, you aren't being good to yourself. It will all get done. Relax and enjoy your time together. You have a cute little camper to live in. Merry Christmas! 🎄
Theo and Bee, as a fellow neurodivergent, I completely understand the Drive that drives you. I can keep going when everyone else around me falls, but I pay the price for that. Rest and Enjoy your holidays. Remember as you build your barn, you are building yourselves. I know the process can be frustrating and difficult at times, but you've already created this Barn home in your visions and it's just a matter of walking through the experience. These past two years have pushed and tested us all. I think the two of you are doing beautifully. I wish you both a blessed and inspired New Year. Happy Christmas!
I needed to hear these words. Thank you. Blessings to you
Well said.
Exactly what I was trying to say.
Yes, TAKE THAT REST! You guys did absolutely amazing this year, you'll always look back and wonder how you pulled it of. We've been watching since the beginning and can't even believe how this barn looks...and you did practically everything by yourselves! That's mad! To say you deserve a break would be an understatement. Merry Christmas, and here's to a 2022 with more free time in your beautiful home & land 🥂
The physical labor is nothing compared to the emotional toll building your dream house can do. You deserve time off to relax both body and mind.
Happy Christmas to you Theo and Bea!
Oh my goodness, you two... I have to say- Theo's "queen's speech" was lovely. So real, heartfelt, and inspiring.
I'm a fairly recent subscriber, but y'all have been an inspiration. I'm a widowed, working, single mom of an adult child with mental health issues (who is, most likely, on the spectrum as well). And it's hard to see through the day-to-day, to the possibilities of what the future may be. The struggle is real, but so is the payoff. Sunny days ARE ahead, and it's perfectly fine to "duck in out of the rain" for a while. And you can just sweep the "nasties" right out the door, where they belong (I know, easier said than done).
Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us weirdos. Rest well, and be blessed.
Sarah
Just wanted to let you know what an inspiration you are. In good times and bad, you remain honest and real.
Rest up guys, take as much time as you can and hopefully all will feel a little lighter.
A very Merry Christmas to you both from myself and my two kids who also love watching your videos.
I have never been so happy to hear somebody say “we’re going to hire in some help”. I’m also happy to hear you are taking some time off. You have both achieved far more than you appreciate. I am so proud of you both. You are inspirational. Merry Christmas. 💕
I agree. If you look back at the video from last Christmas and compare the barn with where it is now, you will be able to pat yourselves on the back and rejoice at the progress you have made together. Many blessings to you both!
I am SO PROUD of you both. I too am a small business owner burning the candle at both ends. Giving myself permission to take a day off is a personally difficult one. But we have to do it! Otherwise, why are we working so hard? If you need it, I give you permission to take two weeks off with two catches... 1- you must have fun everyday after sleeping in as long as the cats will allow...2- that you come back when you are ready. Please feel the support and appreciation. Most of all feel the awesomeness of what you have accomplished. You are doing great! Hugs from America!
Bee, Theo, Gingey, and FERNANDO, what more could we ask for? I’m serious. You have no idea how amazing you are! Have a sweet little Christmas ☺️❤️🌲
It'll all be worth it in the end guys. Rest up & hope you both have a fantastic Christmas!! 🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas 🎄
Both of you are doing an amazing job on your property. You both have tackle some very challenging projects all the while sharing/bringing us your extended family through the lens with. We “THANK YOU BOTH” Look at all that you both have accomplished this past year even with all the side paths you needed to take. They were all a part of your journey and growth. We each have those side paths that we end up taking but from those side paths we grow and learn. Theo and Bea I am so glad your channel found my in box. Thank you both for sharing “REAL” life, you both are so encouraging and I look so forward to all that this coming year holds for you both and to ALL of the family here in your channel❤️. You both are genuine and I think I can say this for ALL your TRUE followers…we love you both and wish a very merry CHRISTmas 🌲❤️
I really felt your emotions in this video. There are so many people rooting for you and loving the house you're building!! You are my favorite RUclips creators! I enjoy seeing the successes and the struggles you have while living off grid, and I so appreciate the effort you put in to show us your lives! Happy holidays, and much success in 2022!
The whole point of living your life style is that your time is your own! Stop apologizing-ly explaining to yourselves and your audience why things aren't done exactly on schedule. You are putting out great content - a huge job. You are renovating a structure in a foreign land and turning it into a haven - another huge job. And you are living life and supporting each other and getting through difficulties in a very public way. Take the time you need and take the time to enjoy your life even if things need to be done and have to be put off for another day. This video made me wish I could go help you! A very Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and your delightful kitties.
Don’t think of it as a failure that you aren’t in the barn look at far you’ve come with the house. The barn has been there for 100 yrs and what you have done it will be there for another 200 so take your time. Spring will be the next deadline. Winter is a slow time for everyone. Enjoy what you have done. You two are amazing at what you have done so far. A home is a never ending project 😄. My husband is a remodeling contractor and our house is 125 years old and we’ve been in it for years and there is always something to do. Don’t be so hard on yourselves. Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year 🎄🥂
Bee & Theo, your perseverance, honesty, hard work is what keeps us here. You are disappointed right now, I am not! I'd rather see you both healthy. You've got a whole life ahead of you; do things when you can (I know, easier said than done). Guess what? Now we have something to look forward to into the New Year: Your eventual move! 😍
Boas Festas e Feliz Natal.🎄🎉 Go easy on the bacalhau (cod fish-huge in Portugal Christmas eve).
You two should get a medal for resilience, adaptability and determination!... Plus hard work!
Theo, everything you said is exactly why we love you both so very much. You are REAL and HONEST and I wish you and Bee the very best that life has to offer!! Your home is GORGEOUS!!! Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Blessed New Year!!
You have deserved a few days off soooo much! We did the same thing, renovate a little old house in Spain and it drains you, people have no idea! And the going against all odds and comments does too, but stick to your plans and ideas, it will all be worth it so much in the end!! My admiration for the both of you is immense. Merry Christmas! Lots of love from Spain 🎄💃🏻
That's EXACTLY why we're here for. You guys being so real. I actually felt for you Theo, as I would for my younger brother, you look so exhausted bro. Take that well deserved rest and all the BEST for upcoming holidays.
I love you both so much. I admire you as well. Go and rest because you will get your lovely and wonderful house. I wish you both, from the bottom of my heart, a wonderful Christmas and a much better 2022.Hugs
Wow...... how terrible. Was the rain. storm a tornado maybe? You work so hard until you just have to separate yourself from your work . Just like this little get away with friends to rest and have some fun. But don't give up. Your dream is bigger than anything. Sometimes I wish I was healthy and strong to help you guys. Bee you trip me out with all that you do.
Theo I am so sorry about the wall. The rain was so hard it was able to penetrate through the concret and the rocks? The wind sure was powerful.
You have done an amazing job on the tiny home, get away, like 1 weekend a month, go and stay in town. Have a great dinner and maybe a movie. But just relax even if it means to just sleep. Your bodies are so tired and exhausted. Time to catch up on much needed sleep. Then work out a plan. Your new house is going to be beautiful. Everything you have done and all that you do, you do to perfection. I was absolutely 💯 amazed at that brick wall, where your bedroom will be. Washing the rocks and the space fille? Oh my goodness it's just beautiful. All the layers of concrete mix on the other walls, with the last coat was the lime wash. Wow. Wow. Wow. It's all so gorgeous. Stay on track have an amazing Christmas with your
friends. You'll come home all relaxed and ready to go.
Stay well and most of all don't put so much pressure on yourselves. 1 day at a time.
No wonder I’m drawn to you guys! My daughter has autism. Bee, Theo, you’re the perfect couple. I love everything you guys do. It will be finished when it gets finished. What’s important is the journey and the beauty of it all. You’re house is a gem shining in the rain and wind. Much love to you and Merry Christmas! 🎄❤️
Omgosh, you two! Theo's Queen's speech was just the most honest, vulnerable thing ever! Tears of support, tears of love for you both and your journey. This little house is built with so much intention, it literally is a living breathing thing. Merry Yule, enjoy, rest, bask in your accomplishments. There is no hurry now, it will be ready when it's ready and in perfect timing.
It’s good to find things out before you move in, even though you were planning on pointing the wall eventually. Your thorough research and understanding just how that building needs to be finished is working out beautifully. Yes, our attention to detail is great for focus and problem solving😉 Merry Christmas Theo and Bea!
The barn will be there after Christmas, so take a break and enjoy the Christmas season. You've done an amazing job both of you 😊
We have gotten so much joy out of watching you both. Theo, we are in awe of how positive you have remained through all of the obstacles you face in each episode. Bea has an amazing smile and we love that she took time to heal and is back better than ever. We started off watching a number of Portugal RUclipsrs but you have quickly become our favourite. We would love to love to sponsor a really nice dinner out for you two. Do you have an email address we could send you details of a voucher to?
Merry Christmas to you both and we look forward to seeing you back in the New Year. Feliz Natal!
I love your show.
Theo, please remember that people’s words say as much more about themselves than they say about you.Try if you can to not let unkindness or thoughtlessness hurt you.
You both are wonderful people with big and beautiful dreams and I wish you both the best.
Bea and Theo, enjoy your days off. Eat, sleep and play. Fernando looked so cute in his Christmas scarf. But the best thing in this video was the spot for Manscaped. I was laughing so hard, I had tears in my eyes. Bloody brilliant. So have a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
So flipping proud of you two…you have travelled the world and that was a success and so now your renovating your new home and your smashing it! Perseverance and dedication to fulfill your dreams will come true….much love from Canada …..
It’s not only the quality of work you’re doing it’s the love you’re putting in 🌟🎄🌞🧚🏼♀️🌝🫒❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎❣️☮️🕉☯️
The shinning, consistent underlining of your videos is your honest optimism and how deeply respectful your love for each other is shown in both your actions and words. That strength will be the firm foundation of your lives together. We'll DONE you two. 🎄😘
You know delays happen. The important part is getting all the materials together and ready to go. It's already looking fantastic. 2022 will be amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Aw bless, don't be so down, the reason you're not living in the barn yet and floor not laid is that damp wall would have effected your floor and anything near it, so in a way its better found now than if you were living in barn.
You will have many years to enjoy living in your barn so hang on in. You've come so far and achieved so much. ❤
Enjoy Chrismas ❤ and 2022 will be your best year❤
Bee and Theo, not only have you shown us how to construct a tiny home out of a abandoned animal barn, you're showing how to build a life, and a loving relationship. You two represent "couple goals". How to work together; care for one another, support one another. You also show the reality of the hard work, struggles, challenges, joys, and accomplishments on going onto raw land and building a tiny home with your two bare hards, or more correctly, four bare hands. You honestly show your frustrations when things sometimes seem overwhelming, but you process it, and very shortly refocus and get on with reaching your goals. I wish you the very best for new year and I hope you recharge during this holiday break. Best to you. Aloha Judy.
It is time for breathing, resting, appreciating all you have accomplished and looking forward to peace and balance in the new year. You two are doing amazing work and should not be worried about whether you are doing anything fast enough or good enough. All you contribute from yourselves and your projects has created wonderful ripples throughout the planet. We wish you good health and happiness now and in your continued journey forward. Boas Festas! Much blessings and love from our home to yours.
I'm so sorry to hear about your mishaps this week. Take your break, and have a wonderful Christmas lovely people. All the very best for the new year x
You do not need to apologize to your viewing audience. I especially love your beautiful attitude towards your work and each other. Go take a few days to relax and feel better. Y’all have all of my best wishes and blessings for a terrific Christmas and Happy New Year. Rest and enjoy each other!!💜💜💜
The day you finally move in will be like Christmas all over again!!! Your home is turning out to be so beautiful! Thank you for bringing us along on your fantastic journey💗💗💗
I'm so sorry about the wall. Please don't get burnt out guys. We're here for the journey not just the destination. Both my sons are on the spectrum so I get the being particular part. You do it the way you know how to do it.
Love from Canada. Rest is vital to mental and physical health. You’ve got a community here who will love seeing you take time to just “be”.
I told my wife in November that if I pushed we would be finished by Christmas. I pushed and pushed till I hurt my back. I'm hoping now for sometime in January. We love you guys, just keep pushing, hug each other and when it's done enjoy it. We are patient, we will keep watching peacefully waiting for your beautiful home. Merry Christmas and God loves us all.
Theo & Bea, please take the much needed time to take care of yourselves. We all appreciate you sharing your adventures with us but your heath is most important. Much Love and Merry Christmas 🎄❤️ from Washington State USA
Best wishes,, Nashville GA USA
I think celebrating the "Scrap Pile" is just brilliant!! We've all had lots of scrap piles in out lives... I just never celebrated one... I was always so disappointed... I think you both are so clever and gifted... you have such deep pockets of humor and creativity to draw from... You make me more grateful every day... Both for the immediate and planned successes... And the delayed successes that we all crave. I "Thank You" for helping me to see more clearly... I wish you, your families and friends, a very wonderful Christmas and a Happy Healthy New Year! Please take a break... Give your "burnout" a vacation... Treasure what you have... And will have very soon!
We've done the same, Theo, worked our guts out mostly on our own for 20 years, to get ourselves into a position of being debt free, owning our home (a converted Sprinter Van) and having TIME to live how we want to live now. It's worth every drop of that blood, sweat, and all the tears. Yep, next year is time to slow down a bit and enjoy the fruits of all your labour. We love you both, you inspired these two oldies to give it a crack (we binge watched your build videos last year to build out our van), and live the way we want. There will always be people who just don't get our "why" - that's their issue, not ours, not yours. Thank you! Have a blessed rest xxxx Rae & Nige, Australia
Just remember Theo the barn isn’t going anywhere. Take time to smell the flowers. Your are such an amazing couple. Have a Merry Christmas and a lovely couple of days off. You’ve earned it.❤️💙
It will be a great New Year in the barn! Step back and relax. Reflect on what great accomplishments you’ve both made this year. Thanks for letting us be part of your journey.
Aww guys, thank you for being so 'real'. Theo by you saying about having Autism, explains the precision and your attention to detail. Yes "things do happen for a reason". Just imagine if you had already put the floor down! All the ends would have been wet, from the rain coming through the wall!! It really must have felt utterly devastating to see the water damage. But I believe it was meant as a warning, to slow down and take a break. Bee knows how you are feeling, but you both need to heed the warning and think about both your health. The barn will still be there after a break. Take care. Merry Xmas to you both and to Gingy-Bear & Fernando. Best wishes and I look forward to more super videos in 2022. Love from Kt, GriffGruff 🐶 & SammySprout 🐶 x x x
Loved your speech Theo, your honesty is so refreshing. You've both done an amazing job so far and I enjoy every minute of time spent with you on RUclips. Have a wonderful Christmas and a good rest. You deal with setbacks in such a sensible and down to earth way and I admire you both very much! XX
Awww jeeze care for you both so much!! Been following for years, cannot tell you how much I love your influence in my life. Thank you to both for existing!!
So sorry for the setback: take a break. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! A King's speech indeed! Love you two for your honesty, recognizing our limits is so important. You've done a great job!
You both have done an “Amazing Job” building your homestead. Enjoying your journey from the start. Thank you for showing us the up and downs of your build project. Give yourself “Top Credit “ your both awesome ❤️🔥Happy Holidays And also to Fernando and Gingybear 🐈🐈⬛
All the hardships just make you more appreciative of your achievements.
How lovely to see the two of you together in the same shot! You handle things with such love and intelligence. Thank goodness the floor wasn't in when the water came through the wall, that could have been even worse! Many blessing to you both, you are certainly a blessing to me.
Theo Mate, I love how genuinely crafty you are! That roofing was a great idea!!
Honestly I’m really glad you’re talking about going a little slower to make sure you’re healthy both physically and mentally.
What a positive example you are! Thank you♥️
Happy Holidays to you, Bea and Theo! You've persevered through a very very challenging 2021 but be proud of how much you have overcome and achieved! Here's to a 2022 filled with lots of love, light and laughter for everyone!
Bring on 2022 Theo and Bee! Be more self centred, think about yourself’s for a change and do it at your pace. Thanks for letting me ride 2021 through this journey with you highs and lows! Have a great Christmas 🎄 and a even better new year!!!!
I'm in New Hampshire ,USA . I wanted to let you know I love watching you it breaks up my day. Don't change you! Love you both!
It's practically impossible to stop yourself in your case Theo so this is why having rules and routine is important. You commit to taking rest breaks because the health and relationships need it.
You've both done incredibly well this crazy year, so so much better than most would in your circumstances and I so much hope your 2022 is a whole lot easier.
Enjoy your rest and Happy Christmas 🎄
I’m wondering if it was a bit of a blessing to not have the floor finished. There could have been more damage from the water, and less ability to see what happened.
Theo, thank you for sharing that you are “on the spectrum” of autism. It is just a part of how how your brain works, and clearly it works well, creatively, and diligently. I appreciate being able to enjoy the ups and downs of your journey. I’m rooting for you, and amazed by your growth. You are inspiring and real.
You are both utterly amazing and such wonderful people. Chin up. Don't be afraid to have a weekend off every now and then. You need it. You deserve it.
As with any dwelling, there is always something that needs attention. You guys are doing an AMAZING job with this project. Enjoy a much deserved break 💕
I so look forward to "catching up" with you guys every week. The ups, the downs, we all experience these...it's just life happening. May you both have a blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
You are inspirational. I had three sons with autism (ASD) your determination and that of Bee is awesome and for me - a mum who lost a son to autism,depression, anxiety and body dysphoria and gender identity disorder, you fill me even more with hope and confidence and watching your progress over the last x number of years brings me joy. Thank you thank you.
Theo and Bee, you're both doing an amazing job, and remember Rome wasn't built in a day. Enjoy your break, you deserve it. Happy Christmas! 🎄 Love from Dudley. 💕🥰
I'm so happy to you say the positives in the mist of the truck problem. Silver linings for you getting the varnish on the floor boards. Inside work. 🙏🇺🇲♥️
Both of you truly deserve a few days off. Renovating the barn into a beautiful home has been a lot of physical and mental toll on the two of you. We love you and we all have our own ups and downs. Wishing you both a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you all refreshed after your time off. God bless both of you.
Laughed and cried at this one.......probably your best video ever ! You've done an amazing job so far and should be incredibly proud 💖 best wishes to both of you.x
That sponsor content was epic!
The autism makes a lot of sense why I like watching this channel so much. My 6 year old boy is diagnosed and we are probably on the spectrum as well.
Take care of yourself guys! There’s no pressure from us.
You guys are the best! This 67 year old grand mother looks forward to each new video and I am proud of all your efforts. Merry Christmas from Louisiana in the US and please enjoy a few days off, you deserve it!
With tears in my eyes, I echo Lisa Booker's comments (I think she must have been reading my mind !). I feel like I just went thru a dozen emotions watching the Vid, from Bee's sense of humor dealing with the broken clutch, to watching the joy that you Theo always have riding your trusty tractor, to one of the funniest Promo spots I have ever seen (truly a laugh out loud moment) to watching and hearing your frustration with the rain infringement on the wall and figuring out how to deal with it, to such joy watching your Furnando be his playful self, and finally watching you Theo as you lay your heart out to all of us, which was so brave, and I love your honesty and your work ethic, and I along with so many others, truly love and care for you just the way you are, so never apologize, embrace your inner self and be proud of who you are, what you have done, and will continue to do. And Bee, you spirit always continues to inspire me as you take care of yourself, Theo, the Kitties, the chickens and a gazillion things that we don't even know about ! Watching this, I just wanted to reach out over the Big Pond and give you both Hugs, and yes, please make those New Years resolutions....slow down...take your time ...endure and enjoy the journey, take the time to rest, eat, reflect and have some fun each day, just keep on trusting and loving one another and trust the Karma, It will All be Okay. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!! Now, get some sleep 😘
That would stop my heart in my tracks to see that wall. I'm so sorry Bee & Theo.
I know what it is to be driven, best words of advice I was given 'patience'. I'm still working on that - but you two seem to be perceivering ! I'm on Team Indie Projects cheer team! You got this! And you got when to stop and breathe !
Take a breath you two.. stop and marinate on what you have accomplished… it’s amazing and beautiful, your determination, perseverance, love for each other is what keeps me coming back .. you inspire more then you know …rest, take a break.. we will be here cheering you on always.
You both should be awarded a medal for patience and hard graft , bless you for taking it all on the chin . Great to see .
You have done wonderful work, both on your stunning home as well as your health. Cheers to you! Enjoy your time away and Christmas holiday!
Thank you Amanda. Hope you have a lovely Christmas 🎄
As someone who is currently struggling with mental health issues I just want to say to Bee that hearing her chuckle is such an encouragement!
As to the building project not being done for Christmas, that was just a date you hoped for and with all the supply problems this year it is a miracle you got as far as you did. Rest up and start fresh next year, there is no real deadline, just a self imposed one, be kind to yourselves x
Hang in there! Get the rest you so deserve. The “barn” will be waiting for you as we also will be waiting for you. 😁
Blessings to you both and a Merry Christmas. Be refreshed!
I am dumbfounded by the amount of hard work and dedication you two put into your projects. I’m amazed by how well you plan, decide and execute your activities. You have won my sincere admiration. Please do take some time for yourselves. Life is about finding balance but, most importantly keeping healthy. Think of all the time you’ll have afterwards to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Receive a big hug from one of your hundreds of fans. All the blessings & good wishes of this Christmas are sent your way for an even more successful 2022. 🎄🙏🏻💕🥰👍🏻🎉
You two are amazing, I'm blown away by the attention to detail of this build. Take care not to burn out, rest is vital!
Bee - your hair in those pigtails and beanie are everything!
I'm so sorry the truck's clutch went out - how frustrating.
I had no ideas what great actors you both are!
I howled with laughter during your "commercial break!"
Great working together!
🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄🎉🎄
Happy Christmas!
Happy Christmas. Don’t push yourselves so hard. The new home will be done when it’s meant to be done.xx
Keep it real guys , that’s why we love and respect what you are about ! Lots of us have deadlines we have to flex - it’s life and it’s not a failure. It will be amazing and we look forward to seeing you being able to relax and enjoy your beautiful home. Love and hugs xxx
Love the festive rubbish pile, we decorated the Christmas stud in our home build haha
Glad you've recalibriated and have put your health first, the absolute best thing for you right now 🤗💖. You two are incredible individuals and a blessed dynamic duo. I see no negative in how things beyond your control have unfurled and affected accomplishing your goals. Thank you for taking the time to talk us through how jam packed your lives are and your own personal challenges. I hope folks can be less judgy and demanding of their expectations for you as viewers can not fully appreciate what you slog thru to realize your dreams. Wishing you great rest (sneak some time in an unfinished house if the camper gets boring, it's YOUR house! 🤗), peace, self care, love love love, and yummy noms🌟🎄. 💖
By the way, as a former Sociologist Prof.& photographer, I commend you not only on the quality production of your content & editing (overall) with the bonus of remaining honest & sincere, as well as perfectly entertaining. I also totally enjoyed your production of the promotional for your sponsors of the male grooming kit. OFF THE HOOK BRILLIANT!!!
That was super funny, especially when the little bush fell on the floor!
I was so impressed with your content and footage for manscaped. You two are the cutest!!
That was really 😄
You guys are legends, have a rest, enjoy Christmas and get back into it when you are ready. All the best from Scotland.
Great job! My son and hubby are both spectrum - you do an AWESOME job with supporting Bea and being flexible. Autism is a challenging divergence. You are right, you have to learn to balance the work, the house, and your lives. Good luck!
We are with you, just know that. Through every let down and every up moment we are cheering for you! Happy Christmas
Aw guys I'm sure this was devastating to discover. Hopefully you guys get it sorted in time for New Years so you can start 2022 as your mean to go on.
Definitely think you should make it a mon-fri job, even if it means 1 video a week. Your happiness and mental health and selfishly your videos are worth more than working yourself to the bone.
Merry Christmas to you both ❤️
Sending you as much joy as your arms can hold and more. Enjoy your much deserved rest.
Merry Christmas to you both-and the cats!! Your home is so beautiful and you will be in it soon!! I loved the Christmas lights!! What a wonderful example of your spirit !! Dreams do come true-with lots and lots of work !! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your "family".
Thanks for sharing, Theo-we love you and Bee and look forward to the new year. Forget the nasties-they do not count. Most people are good and kind and please don't allow the few to put a damper on your spirit. And you are so correct-you need to take more moments to "smell the roses". You are both so talented and hard working and I really admire you. Thanks for a grand experience.
Guys, please don't feel down about your damp patch... we live in an ancient Cretan stone house, and every year we get damp patches somewhere, despite trying to keep on top of it. Don't forget the climate you're in means that it will dry out for all of the summer, and once you get your pointing done, it will improve. But as anyone who lives in an old stone house can tell you, damp's kind of normal. One small patch like you have is actually a win! As long as don't put anything in front of the damp patch, it'll be fine.
A retreat is better than a defeat.....I love that. I feel so much love for you both and urge you to take time out for a LOT of self-care. Another good saying is 'you don't have to justify or explain yourself to anybody'. Take a break....we will all still be here wishing you health and happiness in 2022 xxxx
