Thank you for the castle and church images. Truly breathtaking and Beautiful.
You’re welcome. Beautiful places are meant to be shared 🙏💕
Love love love that color and yes match countertops with trim!
Thanks for the love Susan 🙏💕
You have done a good job of commissioning and overseeing your project.
Thank you. I appreciate you saying so 🙏💕
Your house is going to be absolutely beautiful when its finished, idyllic. I would be surprised if your builders finished it in a week, keep a list of all that needs doing x
Thank you Hilary. I’ve done the list and we are already ticking things off. Let’s see how much they can get done 😀💕
Even small jobs can take so much longer than you expect so no I don’t think it’ll all be done! Great scenes of your birthday travels. Can’t wait to see what you do with the courtyard once it’s all cleaned up. The house will be so cozy. I just love the stone. You’ve got a lot accomplished. High fives to your team of workers! Hope you’ll have an enjoyable summer in your little home.
Let’s see how much can be achieved 😀
Hello, I wanted to tell you that the house is looking very beautiful, and I hope you can incorporate a British touch in the interior decoration. I believe that the English have a good taste in these things.
I also wanted to tell you that thanks to the CZcamsr from Indie Projects, who convinced you to come to our country, we are lucky to have you here. You are a lovely lady, with a charming smile and a denture that many people envy (sorry for this comment).
Keep watching those videos and I wish you lots of happiness.
Thank you for the compliment and the denture mention made me laugh. It’s a good job I have good teeth with a smile like mine 😀
The house is becoming a home soonest 😊 ❤
It is Martha 😀💕
So beautiful. You are going to be living a special dream.
You are right. It is a dream 🙏💕
Your home is going to be absolutely beautiful
Thank you Jennifer. I think you are right 😀💕
Your sofa is very visible
Beautiful kitchen
ENJOY the f😮ruits of your labor
Hopefully soon 🙏💕
Don’t forget to seal your grout to prevent stains. 😊 I love the cabinet color. I love the sandy color of your lime plaster. It’s blends very nicely with the stone. Still very bright and airy. Saludos desde California.❤
I’ll look into sealing the grout. I didn’t know about this 🙏💕
Oh forgot to say last week, watching from Kent, UK x
Fabulous
The color is beautiful. I like it a lot. The green is such a lovely green. The white does seem a bit thick, but I am not an expert. Can you use a small roller? It would probably be easier on you. Progress has happened very quickly. I know you must be rapt with that. Your home and property is beautiful. Brava.
The problem with rollers in a small space is that they don’t get into the corners so you end up using a paintbrush as well. It seems to have worked out ok 😀💕
Para os cantos use o pincel...para o resto o rolo🤷 mas com um tabuleiro onde fica o excesso. Fica muito mais uniforme e menos cansativo 🤦
@@dreamlifeportugalya, cut it in with a detail brush then roll
Make a punch list of all jobs to be completed. Without a list builders forget what projects remain to finished
List made and shared. We’re ticking things off 😀
Hello from Rhode Island, the smallest state in the USA. For reference, we're located between Boston and New York. I was born in a tiny village outside Porto de Mós in the Leiria district. Love that Tomar was the headquarters of the legendary knights Templar. Sounds magical! Good job finding reliable tradesmen in Portugal, it's not easy. Not unusual that they don't show up on Friday, sometimes Monday too, especially if there's a feast in town 😄. Mad respect for what you are doing! 🥰🇵🇹
I know Porto de Mos as I used to live in Leiria. The builders have been very reliable but probably because the company is run by a English man 😂
Beautiful home! It will be a great day when you are settled in! So happy for you! Have a wonderful weekend!👍❤🌻
Thank you Linda. It was a weekend of painting the kitchen 😅💚
Thank you, Suzi for sharing your trip to Tomar. Another lovely memory for you. I think give the Reno another two weeks! Kitchen tap and drainage, pipes going where? The plumber still has lots to connect, electrician not so much. Sliding doors very nice and touch ups and snag list. Write it all down and tick it off, so none forgotten! Enjoy the completion inside and new growth outside! Especially the red rose in full bloom!!💐🐝🐈🐈Cape Town.
Hi Nicolette, I’ve made a list and it’s pretty long. I think two weeks but if the builder is pushing for one week let’s go. 😃💕
Btw...Gorgeous, soft eau de nil? green cupboard doors. 💐🍈🍏🍐🥑🥝🍵🍸
Love your new house and can't wait for next weekend! Love from 🇿🇦
Me too 😀💕
Love the hotel you stayed in With all the water. That town was beautiful and the ornate. Architecture on that church was just amazing. Thanks for showing us all that. I don't know if they're gonna finish all that next week in your house, but it sure is coming along nicely. Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful place when it's all done. Good luck next week. I hope it all gets done.
Hi Barbara, Tomar is a beautiful town. We’ve ticked quite a few things off the list today 😀💕
Yes,it is 🎉
I love your positivity 😃💕
Hiya , it's all coming together now it's going to look amazing when all done .Well done to you .🤗
Thanks so much 😊
Your remodel is coming along quite nicely, well done!
It is indeed. I think it’s going to be amazing 😻
❤❤❤❤ love the green paint work … can’t wait to see it finished xx
Me too!! 😀💕
Susie, make a list of unfinished things. Would suggest you make sure they correct the things you are not able to do: plumbing,windows on roof, sliding doors, bathroom etc. And make sure you are there to monitor every movement. I watch a lot of videos and once they leave, they will not come back. Or if you have not paid them in full then wait until they finish. Be patient and if it takes a little longer it will not matter. Good luck to you. Beautiful property and lots of potential. Lots of love from Florida.
Absolutely agree with your comment Angelica. I have the list already. I am not concerned how long it takes. The builder wants to get the job finished now so he gets his final payment 😀
Is turning beautiful ❤❤❤
I believe will take two weeks. 😊 Cheers! From Rakeigh, North Carolina, USA
Fingers crossed! 🤞💕
I love ❤ cabinet color!! Thank you for sharing such lovely Tomar tour. You are amazing! 👍😊👍✨️
Thank you so much! 🙏💕
Almost there what a courageous way but it will be so rewarded when done kisses from Lisboa
Your house looks lovely. The green cupboards are great. It will
make a beautiful home. 🏡
Thanks so much! 😊
Love it,excited to see it finished.
Follower from Christchurch New Zealand.😀
Hi Elaine, thanks for being here all the way from New Zealand 🙏💕
Hope all goes smoothly next week, as that seems a long list to complete 😊😊😊 Love the scenery what a lovely area 😊😊
It doesn’t really matter to me if it takes two weeks so long as everything gets done. The builder is keen to leave and get paid 😂
Very lovely home!!! I love any shade of green! 💖😊
Thank you! 😊
It is starting to look like home and i so happy for you! I'm from Florida!! ❤
Yes! Thank you! Hello to you in Florida 👋
You can do it!!!! Stunning finishes ❤
Trying to 😀💕
Beautiful transformation. I'm in California. My grandfather is from the Azores. My younger Sister lives there in Lisbon. I am eager to visit again.
Portugal is a fantastic place 😀💕
Your home is looking absolutely beautiful. ❤ xx
Thank you Susan 🙏💕
Your home is looking beautiful
Thank you so much 😊
Hiyya, love to see your progress, watching from New Zealand. I lived near Barcelona for 3 years and wanted to do what you are doing, but age caught up with me. Good to see what you are doing.
It’s so lovely to have you here. I’m glad you are able to find enjoyment from my journey even though you weren’t able to do it yourself. 🙏💕
I wish the guys that made your cabinetry had a you tube channel
Sadly not. They are builders not CZcamsrs 😂
Boa tarde está tudo muito lindo um bem haja 🇵🇹🙏👍👍
Obrigada Lúcia 🙏💕
10:17 a foam roller would help. I think primer is sticky to make sure it covers well.
Thanks Susie for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you girl.
Hello from Philippines. Excited to watch your vlog
Hello Imelda in the Philippines. Great to have you here 🙏💕

Thank you Raquel for all the prayers. It will all get done, just maybe not this week, but that’s ok. The dog belongs to the plumber so he was just a visitor. 😀💕
Lovely video! The house is coming along well even with the things to fix. I hope they do them all for you.
Thank you 🙏 All will be done, just maybe not in one week. Let’s see 😀💕
❤
Thanks for sharing your adventures with us , Such a beautiful country. Your videos are always so relaxing to watch and I can’t wait to see the progress next week.I think we will see a huge difference and it will all come together. Good luck and I hope everything goes smoothly ❤xx
I am happy to hear you find my videos relaxing to watch. I’m excited for the progress this week too 😀💕
Hi Suzi, its all taking shape now and looking lovely. The colour of the paint for your doors is so nice your house is going to be amazing. I’m so happy things are nearly complete and soon you will be able to live in your new home. Not so long now you must be so excited. Take care. ❤
Thank you so much Jean. It really is coming together. It will be amazing to finally move in 😀💕
Well done 😊 I am watching from Istanbul
Hello do you in Istanbul. Thank you for being here 🙏💕
BTW, Happy Birthday! It looked like a lovely birthday getaway.🎂🎂🍷🍷
Thank you!! 😊
Great progress 👏👏👏
Thank you! 🙏💕
It’s so beautiful. I think it’ll be done within 2 weeks. Love the stonework and so much light. The green you chose is supposed to be the color of the year. 🇨🇦 eh!
I think 2 weeks is definitely more realistic. But maybe I will have a working shower. That would make me very happy 😀
Yes. Showers would be nice. Sounds like it’s Scorchagul there in the summer time. Haha 🇨🇦eh!
Hello Suzie, Next week will be the most exciting. Watching every little job being finished and thinking it's nearly there now. Remember those times sp well in France when I had 3 small rooms knocked into one to make a new kitchen diner.
Don't forget to buy your special meal and of course a bottle of something nice to drink. To be able to finally un pack all your kitchen wares -what a treat! Definately, watching next week.
Hi Elizabeth, I’m not sure I’ll be able to put things in the house next week as after the builders leave I need to clean and put the bed together. Maybe I’ll be in there in a couple of weeks. Let’s see 😀💕
I like it a lot..
Thank you 🙏💕
Hi Susi lovely watching your bldg. Have never seen that decorative wood used in your trim in your bedroom area. It I’d gorgeous even without the Linseed oil. Can you tell us what the name of the tree is? Please make a list of everything you want done so your builders know they have to cross off every thing before they are completely finished. They will appreciate it to as it means they don’t need to make a lot of return trips to do things they may have forgotten. I am living in Georgia USA.
Hello from Alabama. Your home is lovely.
Thank you! 😊💕
Love the colour of your kitchen doors, pistachio ? Suzie, your home is looking wonderful. I can't wait to see how much more is done next Sunday. My fingers are crossed it's completed, so you can move in ❤
Thanks Jen. To be able to have a hot shower would be wonderful 😀💕
I think they will, it will be pretty hectic but bet you can't wait eh. I can't wait to see it 😂 I'm so excited for you. Happy painting this weekend xx
Thanks Liz. Fingers crossed 🤞💕
Happy Birthday
It's all looking stunning. But maybe allow another month before completion.
Two weeks tops Billy 😂💕
Tomar é uma cidade pequena com muita historia muito obrigada por a mostrar ao mundo 🌏
It is my pleasure to be able to share the beautiful places in Portugal 🙏💕
Gostaria que o Brasil PRESERVASSE AS construções como Portugal
My guess is they will go over 1 week. Just a guess. So many little bits to do. Your green cupboards are very pretty!
I think you are right. The list is long. Let’s see 😀💕
Hi Suzi.lovely birthday trip to Tomar.
Back to the house I really think that for the rest of the things to be fixed one week won't be enough. But a little more,once you a
I think you may be right. Let’s see 😀💕
Hi from France. Hoping to move to Portugal myself. Have to persuade hubby. 😊
You can do it! 😀💕
I'm a big green fan too, great choice. It's not going to be long before you are fully moved in and I am so envious. Just one thing I missed though, the doorway on the outside next to the bedroom, is that a useable space that can be incorporated into the house, for some reason I felt like it could have been a bathroom...
It’s the old kitchen and one day in the future I hope to turn it into a self contained unit for friends to stay in. 😀
@@dreamlifeportugal perfect!
Absolutely fabulous so far, I think it will be very close to finished at the end of the week. Maybe you could mention how long the conversion has taken when everything is done as I have lost track of time but it has been interesting. Best wishes.
Hi Madeline, it’s taken four and a half months. Probably 5 by the time it’s completed. Then I will be doing projects on my own outside in the courtyard. It’s going to be fun 😀💕
Beautiful home, I never miss your videos😄❤️
By the way I am from Canada. Visited Portugal in 2023. Absolutely beautiful. Wish I can buy a place next to you❤️😊
Glad you like them! 🙏💕
You're nearing the end of this renovation now and your home is going to be beautiful. As far as finishing next week, well unfortunately I see at least 2 - 3 weeks of work there, but good luck xx
Let’s see Pauline. The list is long indeed 😅💕
@@dreamlifeportugal I'm sure it is a long list but you are making great progress, I'm sure you're thrilled and I can't wait to see next week's video xxx
I think it's a bit of a tall order to finish it all in a week but definitely in the next 2 weeks. I think it's looking really good and can't wait to see how you decorate it. I love the kitchen area and the colour you've chosen for the cabinets is really nice.❤
I think you are right. When I went around making a list I too thought the same thing. Let’s see what the builder thinks when I show him the list 😅
Oh my God, it's so darn gorgeous! Surely they will be able to finish next week, if not, maybe just a couple of extra days. That wood is warping a bit because it may be still wet, or there is a lot of humidity, or something. The burning thing they did should have helped dry the wood out. Not to mention have an amazing effect. Anyway, I can't wait to see the finished result. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Thank you Deborah. The wood is hard and strong.💪😀💕
Happy Birthday! 🍷🌷
Thank you!! 🙏💕
You have transferred this place. Will like to see the front door to the garden. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦cape town .
The courtyard area in front of the house will be my next project 😀💕
Do i think all this work ,will all get done in a week ,I don't think so ,Love the green paint ,everything is coming along so well ,🍷🍾cheers to you
Let’s see Sylvia how much we can get done 😀💕
Progressing wonderfully, love from Malta 🇲🇹
Thank you 🙌
Your vision for your new home is amazing. I could not invision what you could do with this space. I hope you share your final cost for this project, it’s so beautiful ❤
Thank you Pam. I will indeed share about the costs. 😀💕
Your house begins to be much like the Alhambra itself,or even more beautiful😊...you have a very nice property,and it looks like you manage the work very well
Thank you so much 😊
My favorite CZcamsr kitchen
Wow, thanks 🙏💕
So beautiful, well done! Do you buy homeware second hand or in charity shops, would love to see that, what it’s like in the shops and what you buy for your place, I’m so nosy 👀😂 but looking to buy land in Portugal so thought it would be interesting, your videos have really helped, thanks so much 💋
Kira, that’s great that you are looking to buy land and I’m so glad my videos have been helpful. I want to buy traditional Portuguese homeware and love a bargain. They have plenty of shops here to choose where you buy things. It’s all a balance of quality and price. Olx is a great resource for buying second hand. It’s like market place. I will talk about furnishings in a later video as well as costs. 🙏💕
OH wow, what is that beautiful wood? The beams?
Douglas fir 🌲😍
Hi, ideally a top coat of white primer and two coats of colour layers.
I’m using a special chalky paint that doesn’t need a primer. But has a wax coat put over the top of the paint. It’s looking good 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal it is all coming together great. Lovely home
My husband said you need a special mdf primer sealer otherwise the pain may chip off, that’s if the wood mdf
He’s shouting mix your paint and you need a smaller brush 😅 One week no, 3-4 weeks work we think
The primer is for MDF 😀
@@dreamlifeportugal The green one? Oh right missed that. The green looks great
Have a nice day!🌻🤗
Love it Love it Love it
Thank you 🙏💕
Olá, I should have been there in Monsanto because my father lives there near you in Barreiro, Lagar Maria Martins but i've had an accident in México and cannot walk
When im ok I will visit you.
All the luck ✨✨😘
I have friends that live there. It will be lovely to meet with you. I hope that you make a quick recovery and you are not in pain 🙏💕
Definitely not going to be finished in a week, think you have quite a few problems to get sorted there Suzi.
It'll be lovely when it's done but I'd be hitting the wine bottle every night if it was me.
Good luck with getting all the popped wood fixed properly, just as well the builders are still on site to see their handiwork needing attention. Can't see how the electric cable could be moved above the worktop as there's no access above the timber that I can see.
It’s quite a list. It can be a little stressful at times but I am detached from it as I’ve got my own space to retreat to. To move the cable is a matter of removing the board and cutting a new hole for it and filling the existing hole. 😀💕
@@dreamlifeportugal That's a relief on all counts, can't wait to see it finished, it's going to be a lovely home for you. 💐
It is a dream house /can you analyse to us the cost of this things in Portugal???? Maria from Greece/have a nice continue...
Thank you 🙏 Costs can range from €500 - €1000 euro a square meter.
@@dreamlifeportugal thank you
That is a lot of work to do in one week, but who knows. Either way, the end is in sight, and it's going to be lovely. I'm moving house tomorrow, so I'm going to be at the very start of the process. Looking forward to it, but also not...
I hope your move goes well. Always lots to do when you move into a new home 💕
@@dreamlifeportugal Thank you
Your place is looking great! By the way, I love your elephant outfit. Can you share where you got it? Thanks!!
Thank you. I bought the trousers (pants) in beautiful Bali 💕
Hello,good morning and i am only from here!
Hello, over there 😂
The finished tout hints takes a lot of time to do it.
I’ve in tomar several times. It’s very beautiful, thank you for showing.
It really is a beautiful place 😀
Have you tried using a small roller? Much quicker and i find easier in cupboard spaces.
For some reason I didn’t 😅💕
I certainly hope they can finish your honey-do list. Will you be pointing the exterior as well?
I’m located in southern California in the USA.
Let’s see. Yes, repointing the exterior I will be starting later in the year. It’s best to do it when the weather is cooler 😀💕
Lovely shade of green. Where is the wood burner going? Will builders need to cut hole in roof for wood burner outlet or is there a chimney somewhere?
It seems like a lot to get done in a week but good luck. X
The wood burner is going in the living room area. They are going to have to make a hole in the wall. Don’t want to jeopardise the integrity of the roof. It’s a harder job to go through the wall but a better one 😀
Hello good to see you looking lovely home 😊
Thank you 😊
Try to plant passion fruit
Yes, I will 🙏💕
