Sleeping on the EDGE of the Atlantic! Our EPIC Tiny House in the FAROE ISLANDS (Full Tour)

Good morning adventurers. Good morning y'all. And welcome to another absolutely beautiful day here in the Faroe Islands So if you guys have been following along you know that we have been traveling all over these islands enjoying the insane Scenery and we completely fell in love with all the grass roof houses So we decided why not get one of our own and I think it might be the coolest one on all of the Faroe Islands Well, the house should be over here somewhere on the water I guess are we just supposed to park on the this little spot on the side of the road? I think so a Little bit of a tight spot, but it'll do so we've arrived and our house is over that guardrail Are you sure that's not some other way to get over there that bee just flew into your bag These are aggressive around here Great kid Okay, I'm gonna go to this side. Yeah But uh, well, this is kind of cool, huh? All right. I'm not even inside but confirmed This is one of the coolest places we have ever stayed Have we entered the Shire or what? Watch out for Smeagol. Oh God Shut up acting Well, come on in y'all Welcome to our adorable tiny house here in the Faroe Islands Is this location amazing or what the house is built into this rocky cliffside you get Unobstructed ocean views and of course the roof is totally covered in grass later on We want to take you guys outside and explore the little coastline here we can I think we have direct access to the water down there and then show you more of the outside of the house because It is very cool how it's built, especially that green roof But first let's take a little peek at what's on the inside of our little tiny house little tiny house our tiny little house You get it it's a tiny house They have a very good design sense in this country, I don't know if you guys caught one of our last videos We actually stayed in another place that was on the coast did not have the green roof sadly But it was basically this size and it was just as well designed Everything is super polished very clean and most places have at least some kind of raw wood, which you know, we love Okay, but first off did you guys notice my sweet socks? You aren't allowed to wear shoes in here. So they give you a hand knitted woolen socks to wear Well, I didn't know that yeah, I get some they do have a pair for colors and I'm wondering Would they notice if we took them with us cuz they are awesome. They're so comfy. Oh Mine are even cooler than yours. Oh, there's are very cool Much better This is the living room I didn't fall that's pretty good I can moonwalk all over the place here But they have done a Very good job and managing the space here as you walk in you just have a beeline directly to the balcony and then on the Right side you have this very nice simple well-designed living room area over to my right We have this quaint little seating area over there And then on the other side is the dining room table with four little chairs there And of course they have to have some like sheep wool. That ain't bad at all Should have seen it coming. I almost started laughing before I finished doing that They have a full ish kitchen. I got a sink and an oven stove combo. No dishwashers You gotta do it by hand and then you have a mini fridge, but no freezer in there, which is kind of a bummer They've done some treatment on here that makes it kind of look like plaster, but I think it's just really thick paint It looks very luxurious like it definitely fooled me and of course, I love these floors these big wooden planks They're very sturdy So theoretically this place will sleep six people Two of which would have to sleep up in this little loft area You have to climb this very teeny tiny very not Structurally sound looking ladder up to the smallest loft in the world But all that's holding you up is this little triangle that's got two screws going into this pretty sketch Shoot I almost pulled the ladder right off of that Okay restart Yeah So we won't be sleeping up here because I don't want to have to go down to this when I have to pee in the Middle of the night the peak of the house makes it very tight up here So you have to either be a contortionist or a little person like me And what's really cool? Is that directly above you is a bunch of grass and dirt? Oh You know That's why it's insulated. So well, there is somehow an actual Bedroom in here. They really took advantage of the space The bed is a bit small though, and there's still an opportunity for me to bonk my head Yes, there is sitting up real fast. He'll wake you up like that or put you lights out Put me back to sleep and back in this corner is the bathroom and it's very cozy. Come on in Yeah, this is one of the more awkward bathrooms that we've ever encountered So we won't be a taking a shower like this or a bath. I guess I don't know We haven't quite worked that one out yet. I can't say I've ever done this before it feels very awkward Yeah, especially with all of you watching me. At least my clothes are still on now You got to show us your technique, but one that Kramer would be proud of We do a lot of Seinfeld references on this channel, huh? Cuz somebody might have an obsession. I watch a lot of Seinfeld I'm not gonna tell you guys how much because you'd probably think I'm insane, but it's my favorite show I love it. But a lot of the bathrooms here and in Europe in general, they don't seem to completely close the shower off I don't know why but a lot of water gets all over the room and it kind of bugs us But they do have heated floors. They've got the world's tiniest sink, but it does the job. I guess that's it. That's the bathroom Not here But this right here is the main highlight of this house the balcony that overlooks the rocky cliffside The sea off in the distance all the land the islands the greenery. It's pretty incredible But the only downside is they don't have any chairs out here. So you have to stand and enjoy Well, this is really dang cool, huh? A little slippery This is such a cool thing to have just right out your front door Huh? It kind of reminds me of when we were in that floating house off the coast of Florida But this is much nicer because you're not doing this all day long From down here. You can kind of see how the house is built It's actually just got this really rough stonework, but the stones are cute It looks like the cliff was formed by Mother Nature and then the house was too And it's black just like our tiny house. Yeah, we're a sucker for black houses and we love it Allison just noticed we have a potential visitor. There's adorable little us. I guess it's a seal Yeah, our sea lion poking his little head up over there He's looking at us and I think he wants to come over here and hang out I'm hoping he's just gonna appear right here all of a sudden. I mean, this is a perfect spot for him, right? The view is pretty dang incredible you can see all the little bits of land out there There's a big island right in the middle there If you've been watching our videos up here in the Faroe Islands You already know that there is a system of tunnels built into the rock underneath the water that connects most of the islands together There's actually a huge one underneath this water right where we're standing So if you looked from the top down, there's actually a road that goes underneath this This is the one that has that little roundabout right in the middle of it There's like traffic under here This is kind of funny I noticed that they're just using like a trash bag to cover up this like I guess it's an electrical Connection it just seems kind of funny to me They go through all this trouble like 99% of this place is really polished and really well done almost perfect And then you have a trash bag hanging on the side of the house There's got to be a better way, but this is one thing we love about the Faroe Islands They seem to really care about placement and covering up the trash can they have it hidden in this little thing and it's right next To the front door. You don't have to go hunting for it. Pretty cool Well confirmed the grass on the roof is very much real I'm gonna get down before I go sliding off It's very slick. But how cool is this? It's about this thick of dirt and grass I believe but I came across this little PDF that shows in depth how these roofs are actually constructed and it is very cool back In the day, they used to use birch bark They would put five layers of birch and each layer would last about ten years So you'd have 50 year lifespan on your roof before you had to replace it They actually stopped doing that in like the 50 60 70 somewhere around that because the birch was way too expensive They started to use this tar paper stuff and then the roots would just grow through it. So that wasn't any good nowadays What they do is they put a felt paper on there They put plastic and then they put some kind of netting so I guess the roots can't get through any of that stuff You will notice though on some of the green roofs. There is a little bit of birch sticking out That's because any visible spot where you can actually see underneath the dirt. They will have the birch bark there So it looks like it's authentic. It'd be really cool to plant like a bunch of really vibrant flowers on top of one I wonder if they do that. Maybe they just don't really grow here I haven't seen many flowers But they must have to have some really strong lumber for the rooftop because just the snow load alone can be a lot of weight So imagine having a foot of earth on top of your house that can also get snow on it I just walked out on the balcony to get some fresh air and noticed there are about a million jellyfish down there They're all just washing up on the rocks and stuff. There are just so many at every corner of the property What the heck is going on? They're all alive too. They're swimming around Just climbing a guardrail Yeah, this is the awkward part of this house you got to climb up there and your car's right over there don't get killed So right across the bay from the little house that we're staying in is this lake that is friggin incredible There are so many goofy little sheep right when we got out of our car There was one just really ominously staring at us. But man, is this magical? It looks like the Loch Ness Monster is just gonna come right out of there Kind of crazy to imagine just uh, you know living here Yeah, this is your daily walk or where you come with your dog. Is this? Yeah to have such close access to such incredible beauty almost seems unfair Now, I know we chose to live in Texas where nothing like this exists, but I mean we can still dream right? We can get multiple properties Feel like everywhere I point my camera on this island or these islands looks amazing This looks awesome Mostly because I'm in it and you're carrying a bunch of goodies Went to the grocery store and they make you pay for baggies. So I'm holding everything You guys can I just say I'm in love with this place. I've just been enjoying this a lot. It's so cool It's one of those places where We haven't left it. Usually you go out and explore I mean other than the little walk, but we're just staying in all day tomorrow as well just to take it all in All right, it's wine o'clock Well, cheers, oh yes Not a bad spot to chill and watch the sunset, huh? Although maybe a bit of a cloudy sunset, but it's beautiful nonetheless the weather here is so crazy you guys It'll just be foggy then it'll be cloudy then the Sun will come out But man, it is at all times in every direction It is so moody like look at the clouds rolling in over that island over there. Oh my god It's so cool. Now, if only that little sea lion sea otter thing will come back. Where are you? What are you doing? Trying to find the trapdoor It was just a shoehorn Yeah, according to the sign over there is a trapdoor and this is where the laundry is That's how you get below the house into the basement Right. Am I allowed to do this? No way That looks creepy. Okay, I knew there was a laundry. I just assumed you got to it outside Okay Hmm, is there a flashlight or any kind of light or is there? Oh my god. Oh This is cool Okay, bye have fun down there. No, don't close it. No, it's scary. Oh I found the light switch Whoa. All right, let there be light All right, cool There's a little boat down here so you can see kind of some of the inner workings They have like a drop ceiling here and then there's a bunch of foam insulation You're keeping everything all warm And then of course you have the stone walls that the foundation is built out of and then this is the actual rock from outside So they just built it on top of this. There's like a little bit of concrete around it. That is pretty cool You decided to join me Well, you were gone for a long time so I got curious Well, I've just been poking around at everything trying to figure out how it all works Oh wow. Well you weren't lying, they got a washer and dryer, huh? I was wondering the floors are very warm and the Bathroom right above us has a heated floor. So I guess this is how they do it They put the foam insulation there also confirm just took a shower and it was the most awkward shower in the entire world Did you have to sit down and yeah, and I couldn't even put my legs straight. I had to sit there cross-legged It was a little awkward to say the least. I should have popped in to take a look You definitely missed out. No, nobody needed to see that. I guarantee you Just like that our Faroe Island adventures have come to a close I know I hate leaving but this has been one Magical delicious and not delicious trip, but it was adventurous the food anyway, yes and the rest of it We lived up to our channel name It was an endless adventure every single dang day, but we're a little over the cold and the rain and the clouds So we're heading south y'all to Portugal where the Sun is shining. It's 80 degrees We were actually there not too long ago, but we didn't get to see enough and it was very chilly So we were going back this time in the summertime and we're gonna take it in this time We're gonna I think end up drinking our way through Portugal. Y'all they've got wineries out the wazoo And we were just gonna see some beautiful landscape. I think some maybe some coastal views I don't know still kind of planning things and you know what they have in Lisbon a Camera store, so I can get a new lens. Eric has been fantasizing about going to this camera store So have you so I should stop complaining about it. He's been complaining a lot behind the scenes Yeah, so there's gonna be no more weird blurring like you see over here I'm gonna be able to zoom again because right now I'm stuck on 20 millimeter It's all gonna be so good. Goodbye adventures. We'll see on the road
