  • you will see the last day with our stonemasons who helped us to build amazing kitchen walls and opened up big window in the living room.
    It's amazing to see how stonemasons work and how strong and clever they are. They are very fast and wall's are rising every day higher and higher !!!Very happy we found them
    From now we will be doing work ourselves .. we not professionals but we will try our best to do it and we can't wait to do it !!!
    If you would like help from Vicente and his team or just would love to see what they do please see they Instagram link:

    You made a wise decision in getting the stone masons to help in the rebuilding process. They worked so diligently to choose the
    right stones to make it look right. I certainly want them to feel appreciated for their expertise. Kudos to them!!! This is shaping up to be really beautiful!!!!

    It's been amazing to watch your team of craftsmen lift those massive rocks and even throwing smaller rocks around. How they positioned the rock and made the walls was wonderful. Todays video has also been amazing to watch you move all those massive rocks and start the tidy up. You two are amazing.

    The work your stone masons accomplished is quite awesome and beautiful. Their ability to hoist those rocks and place them is quite nice, it's a job Very Well done. Since you still have a lot of those stones near the building, use them to build a stone wall around the area you excavated for your "planned" addition. Then put a roof over it to make a nice sheltered open air patio.

      Omg, yes! 😱 Andrius loading boulders with his open-toe plastic slippers... It"s like soldering or sawing through metal or stone without protective goggles & face shield. It's all just fine until something flies into your eye or one suddenly and very regrettably realizes the searing pain of bouldered toe 😭.

    Hoo boy, nothing rings my old human resources alarm bells like Andrew wrestling granite slabs and boulders! 😬🙈
    The new walls in your cottage look fabulous. Your inside space will have so much nice indirect light coming in through your future windows. I'm sure it'll feel like a castle after living in your camper for so long.
    I've been enamored with granite stone houses since i started watching Centro videos, but now i know i'm as fascinated to watch structures being rebuilt by modern day masons. What ever shall we do now to get our masonry fix 🥺?
    G, did you tell V about my comnent about him being a descendant of other-wordly beings 🛸 who levitated huge slabs of stone? You know, the guys who built Machu Pichu in Peru, the Pyramids in the Americas and Egypt? That's why he's so tall and powerful. Did he cuddle the kittens? If so, where's the footage? 😁
    I'm so looking forward to how you roof your home. I was hoping for a high pitched roof to give space for heat to rise up into, though that's not necessarily what you want in winter 🤔. It'll be a surprise!
    Will the secret project be my, oops, er, a guestroom? Another thing to look forward to finding out! Heck, yeah, we're gonna stick with you❣
