    I am so pleased that the previous owner is still helping you uncover all the water lines.

      We are, too! Luis is such a good person. We appreciate him so much and he knows so much about the land. He helps us so much 🌿🥲🫶🏻

    3kms is a long way so you did well! It would be nice if the larger diameter pipe ran the whole way but at least you have an endless supply of useable water .

    Congratulations on achieving this and from the looks of things the local community seems to be enjoying your presence and three kilometers of pipe wow talk about Luis having to achieve that

      Of course we immediately told Luis and he was really happy 🥲 But yes, the neighbors are so happy that the land is no longer abandoned and they love to come around and share so much about the land 🌿🙂

    Whoa! That was a great amount of work! Wouldn't have been easier to just use a suction pump in one of your streams down the mountain that it would have been faster and easier to maintain in the future.
    Well sometimes you just want to follow what is already done. I understand.
    Thank you for the video for the amazing word you did and I'll tune for the next one.❤

    • @Montinho_Monchique

      Unfortunately we do not have electricity at the stream, so this wouldn’t be so easy for now. The pipe was our best option and we really wanted to restore this old structure 😬

    When all of the farms were populated throughout the Portuga,l the water ran smoothly along their wonderfully engineered terraces, but I can see where pipes now have to replace that system.

    It must have been quite a feeling when you realised that the water was there after such an extensive search for all of those leaks. The one thing I could recommend is a longer victory dance for sure.😂 It's pretty amazing seeing you restore something that was done so long ago, but if it worked then it will definitely be a huge asset. Love following along. Cheers from Cape Town.❤️

      Thanks for your comment! The main work you see in the last videos was make in 2 months (November last year and march this year). We took vacation from our jobs and put all the time and energy in these two months to achieve as much as possible. The next 2 updates will show the preparation of a “base camp”’for temporary living and our move to Portugal.. stay tuned 🙏🏽🧡

    Hey, thanks for the videos, It's great to see your project going forward !
    I'd love to have subtitles when you guys speak german (even in german). Mine isn't so good and it's sometimes tough to understand what you guys are saying (and I'm sure it's interesting).
    I guess it's more time editing, and I'd understand completely if that's not feasible for you. Thanks again for your work and keep the videos coming !
