Behind the Scenes: Limewash in the Lounge

  • In this video we apply some homemade limewash to the walls in the lounge. But this video isn't really about limewashing (as much as we do talk about it a lot). We recently purchased some new microphones to improve the sound quality of our videos and this video was made to test how they perform in the real world.
    Join us for some excellent conversation about lime wash and a sneak peek behind the scenes at how we plan our videos and the kind of nonsense we talk about while working on our renovation project.

    I appreciated the sound quality very much. So clear, much better than my phones. Even the noise from outdoor clean-up was background rather than drowning out the dialogue. I think you've made a good choice.

    You do know you two are the perfectionist of renovations in Portugal.. who renovate to the enth degree.. it’s a masterclass for all ex pats and Portuguese to follow who need to know how it’s done correctly.. I doubt most people will not put the work in you both have.. perfection does exist on their property ❤

    The mic' s sound quality is excellent!
    - no shirt rustling when you move
    - doesn't pick up much external noise when you're outside talking (eg rustling of leaves)
    - doesn't pick up on heavy breathing while you're working
    All great points that would make for a great short ... since you asked! 😛 ❤

    The mics were extremely acceptable; I enjoyed your conversation as you worked, the discussion regarding attic work processing I found enlightening whilst tickling my fancy for what has to come up there. My thoughts, regarding your comment as to what we would find repetitive or unnecessary, are that I would prefer to be a party to every aspect of the transformation of the 2nd floor, just as you detailed the excavation and reconstruction of the ground floor. Remember perfection is to be strived for but sometimes a tight second is acceptable; you could overpaint the stained wall patches with a decorative mural. Progress is marked and moving to a new focus in terms of location and projects, keep it up. By the way, just loved the rustic brickwork in Vietnam - brilliant.

    I use those mics too. I also have a large rode mic and run it on a second camera as a safety because sound can be so tricky. I normally favor the large mic, but these are great for movement. The little wind sock works great. If you don’t like the way it looks you could buy a lav to attach to it and clip it in a hidden spot. Anyway your room is look so great!!😊🌸🌺

    Shorts are for the TikTok sect. It's for those with short attention spans and who want to scroll from video to video. I like the longer form video. Much more interesting and informative. If you just did shorts (which I don't watch), don't believe I'd be following you two, hard-working, creative, and interesting people. Mics seem to work really well. Couldn't hear the wind while you were working outside.

  • @myitaliantherapyginafiore4414

    My favorite OCD lime wash couple. You two made me laugh when you said do we talk about anything but lime wash or building. LOL. I do old home restoration and am finishing up my reno and putting building for sale in August. I bought a farm in Central Portugal so headed your way and that is all I do are my projects. But how fun are they when we love what we are doing and being creative and making progress. Keep on keeping on. I love it been following you guys for about a year. Thanx for the inspiration.

    Sound is defintely better, although Kylie's trademark "bye bye" sounded a bit distant. Deliberate? The audio while washing out the buckets was impressive.
    Looking forward to the resullts of the limewash. We are about to embark on an attempted restoration of a woodfired oven - last year's makeover with exterior masonry paint had disappointing results (for "disappointing" insert your derrogatory expletive of choice). Up next is a commercially-available limewash that needs to be mixed. I think. I haven't read the instructions yet...
    "Behind the scenes" is a great idea. A good addition to your expanding, and very enjoyable, mix of videos (the Vietnam videos were an eye-opener. Kudos to you both).

      The new mic was 100%. Your voices were very understandable both inside and outside. I could not detect any breathing while you were working. When you were outside, I could hear the breeze, but it was a background noise and did not overpower what you were saying. The water when you were filling the metal bucket was loud but not overpowering your words, and when you were filling the plastic pails, it was not as loud.
      I believe your new microphone wins "hands down"!
      Loved your (working) visits to Vietnam. I hope you treated yourselves to some relaxing times before the long trip home. You both are very deserving.

    The mikes are great! As for the discoloration, we had the same ( renovating with like, meteorite stone house in France),in our case is down to rising damp in the walls, salpetre building up too, even with natural lime mortar on it it still happening, dries off in the summer a little more. Even after the french drain, redirecting rain water and so on,we still have it on outside walls, mainly because our house is on a slope about 150 from the river in a wet winter spring and autumn . Back them the stone walls were built with compact dirt system so it absorbs all the water.
