    It's been a long time coming but we've finally completed (most) of the downstairs renovation works and have moved in. Join us on a tour of the downstairs as we reveal what we've achieved over the last few years. We'll show some of the highlights of the work that took place in each room and give you a tour of our new home.
    Yes, it's still a work in progress. Yes, there's still lots to do - both in the house and on the land. But we're proud of what we've achieved so far and are looking forward to share the rest of the journey with you.

    I’ve been following your channel for the past 4 years and I finally wanted to leave a comment to express my admiration for your work. I love the understated and elegant way you share the renovation of your rural house in Portugal. Your sense of humor is delightful and always makes the videos enjoyable to watch. It’s inspiring to see how you incorporate traditional building techniques so intelligently and sustainably. I’ve learned a lot from you and am thoroughly entertained by the progress of your project. Congratulations on reaching this significant milestone in the renovation. Keep up the excellent work!

    Like others, I can't believe it's been over 3 years since I started following your vlog, and I remember watching you do the projects you show us in this video. It's nice to see you sit back and enjoy the results of all those frantic weeks and months of labor.

    As someone who's followed your channel since Day One, including (whisper it) the old channel, the work you have done is incredible. The results are beautiful and a true expression of your shared version.
    It doesn't matter how long things take, it doesn't matter if you change your minds along the way, the journey is the destination.
    You're a great inspiration!

    Thank you for doing this recap video! It brings somewhat of a closure as the viewer that has watched you throughout the struggles of digging up a floor, plastering walls, doing plumbing, ceiling beams, putting up the bell tent area, and all the other do and redo projects. And thank you for letting us tag along during this journey where we can forget the worries of life, enjoy nature and watch the build come along. And let’s not forget the jokes/ innuendos along the way that have made us smile. Looking forward to more of your videos, be it cooking, beer making, garden or house build.

    23:05 You can get battery adapter for Dyson battery hoover (dewalt, makita or Milwaukee). So You can use it with your battery tool batteries for longer and swap them without waiting as original charger not so efficient and meter of time when original battery gonna show signs of life. If You consider buying adapter make sure You choose correct model of Dyson as there are two or three types of adapters. Like Your project. Kind Regards

    You guys work so hard!
    Well done!
    Can’t wait for what is ahead and the transformation!

  • @SteveHainesCounsellor
    @SteveHainesCounsellor Před měsícem +3

    Attention to detail pays off eventually. Quick jobs lead to big problems. I've been a builder for 50 years and I can honestly say you're doing a great job.
    A professional would do it quicker. That's all. Taking it more slowly ultimately leads to better decisions. Revised decisions sometimes. I'm old now and I have to go slowly. I find that, that leads to more thinking about things for longer than I ever did before and a better result.
    I had to earn a living at building but you guys don't.
    Carry on doing the job well and creating great videos.
    Go well. 💪😊👍

Seeing other ppl's vision for a reno is very interesting to me. Thank you for sharing your vision and your calibre of workmanship and cinematography it's been a great journey so far.

    It's great that you now have a properly comfortable set of rooms to relax in. Living in a mess is tiring in itself. One small suggestion I'd offer if you're not going to get the overhead work done quickly is to staple some nice fabric on the ceiling over your bed so you don’t have to look at the plumbing 😁
