STONE HOUSE RENOVATION - Racing to Get Ready for Winter

- The weather eased up this week (kind of) so work continued on the stone house renovation & we're racing against the clock to finish the cottage roof before winter arrives in full force!
Insulating this old abandoned house is key to retain the internal warmth in the winter & also keep out the blistering heat in the summer. So before we can get round to tiling the tiny house roof, we need to get it insulated which is what we're tackling this week.
LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Central Portugal & the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone house, setting up systems to grow some of our own food & finally restoring the 100+ year old farm house.
Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊

We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned off grid Portuguese farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful homestead for us & our two rescue dogs Teddy & Poppy.
We both agree that we’re not experts in anything that we do here, however we don’t let that stop us from giving it a try. We live our life by trying. We live our life by doing. We live our LIFE BY LIVING.

Victoria, you are the star of the show!
Your positive attitudes are wonderful. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.
Thank YOU Mandy for watching our adventures 😊
This project is definitely testing your problem solving abilities. Points for your persistence!
Looking forward to seeing those tiles on and having the building watertight. When Ricky called it the woof I assume he had been listening to the building inspector.
😂😂
Believe me, we are looking forward to seeing those roof tiles in place too! 😅 Thanks Raymonde!
😃😃
Ricky and Victoria are the team to watch! They are the best!!
Thank you Susan ❤
Your little house is charming, can't wait to see it with the "woof" on!
Agree totally.. a wonderful couple?!
Amen
Those inspectors were clearly looking for a bribe, I mean treats,
This tiny house is going to be amazing once finished
Please be careful though both of you in these strong winds ❤
Thanks Jennifer 😊 & don’t worry, we aren’t taking any unnecessary risks. 😅
You folks have been valiant with “road blocks” , and the “unexpected” …weather especially
I'm sending a message on your behalf to the Weather Gods to lay off you guys until you get that roof on. You need a break. Keep on keeping on!
You guys are great teachers......and are the most pleasant folks ever. Victoria you warm my heart, wish I was your neighbor
Thank you so much Robin ❤
The building inspector said it is a bit rough rough,
Keep up the good work 👍✅🇬🇧🍺
4:38 "I had one line!" 😂 btw you look so pretty in your rain hat. Good progress on the roof!
It makes it hard when you have to keep stopping, but you will get there
The building inspector🤣🤣🤣 I hope the weather cooperates so you can get the roof finished soon!
Good teamwork, good progress. Good show.
Hope the sun shines for this week to get this job done…bravo !
Thanks Marianne! The week’s off to a good start 🌞….long may it continue! 😄
I love the way she speaks :)
Wind wind, wain wain and no woof. You're getting there. It'll be snug for Christmas!
Wow! The tiles have arrived!! So exciting, even though you had to man/woman-handle them all!! Working between raindrops and wind, the dynamic duo perseveres!!! ❤❤
Thank you, as always, for your kind words ZeeCee! We are super excited for the tiles too 😅
Still making good progress.
Congratulations on getting your new pencil!
Oh my god, you saying “The sun has got his hat on”, brought back so many memories. We lived in the UK for 6 years, and 2 of our kids went to school there. “The sun has got his hat on, hip, hip hip hooray………” was sung a lot, and even after all these years, I still find myself singing it 🥰.
Victoria, you tell him girl! 🥰😁🥰.
Ricky, I’m currently having lower back issues, and watching you work on the roof, bent over like that, I can feel your pain 😟
It’s a wonderful song which deserves to go global 🌞 🎩 🎶😅 I hope your back heals soon Anne ❤
Guys, ye had me smiling the whole time I watched! I'm hoping ye get some sunny days so that ye get to finish the roof. 😁🥰😘
Rain, rain, go away. Who needs THAT? That just makes life more difficult. Good luck another day.
The tiny house is going to be lovely and snug first class job looking good glad the inspector came and passed it 😂
🐕 it was touch and go for a moment! 😅 Thank you Patricia
Getting the Tiny House ready for the cold wet winter is like running between the raindrops. Slowly but surely, it will get done. Great video guys 👍👍 Hope you guys are doing ok.
from Jim, Harriet and Yuki🐕 Richmond, Va.
Thank you Jim, Harriet & of course Yuki! 🐕
I love your banter guys and the woof is looking good 😂
You two are the power rangers in the flesh! The roof is looking fantastic, and so well done because it is being done correctly! All this effort will be so well worth it! Thank You for sharing this video ♥️
You two always make me smile!

That's quite an achievement! Good job guys, and hunker down for Winter! (House will still be there in the Spring...hopefully)

Love your attitudes Ricky you are a real trooper ❤
Love watching and learning from you two. Such hard workers!! Progress is looking great. 😊
I look forward to each installment! And Victoria, your offer of hot chocolate had me blurting out "Yes!" to my computer screen 😊
Thank you 😊 There’s one major upside of getting rained off on a job - HOT CHOCOLATE! 😋
You two are such a lovely couple. 😊
Love the building inspector....you had me going there lol!!
😂 I don’t think inspectors are all so affectionate! 🐕
Vapor barrier is incredible and will protect your woof
Fully enjoy you two!!
Thank you so much Ann! 😊
Congratulations! It is great to see someone on CZcams holding a saw correctly.
Very refreshing channel in Portugal. You have such a good balance between work and play.
Your videos are always too short for me.... More please! I love watching you guys.
Thank you Marilou! 😃
The two of yu put a smile on my face! 😊 I am safely watching your weather from Texas and you really need to stay safe.
Blimey...who knew that roofs were soooooooo complicated!!! I know nothing so this is all very interesting to me!!
So glad the roof is taking shape. Awesome work as always
Thank you for your kind words of motivation Leslie 😊
Victoria, you are the sweetest “glamorous assistant” 😅
Dont forget to pay the inspectors with treats.
Great video guys. The roof is looking really good. It will look fantastic when the tiles are on. Hope you get some good spells of rainless days with no strong winds to enable you to finish the insulation. Can’t wait for your next video. Take care ❤️
As always, a pleasure to watch and fun to!😊😊😊😊😊❤❤
Thank you for your support Helena! 😀

Great progress guys! Love your sense of humor and I especially love that cute building inspector! I don’t know how you get any work done with her and Teddy hanging around! I would want to play with those two instead of working 😄 Kudos to your strong work ethics and I’m looking forward to the finished roof 😁
Well, MamaCat, you might be right there 🐕 🐕 the two doggos are the most wonderful distractions! 😅
You guys are so fun to watch. I love how you persevere!
Thank you so much 😊
Wow! Half way there with the insulation. Hope the weather holds off for you 🤞🏻 stay safe up there. You’ve come so far and I’m sure you will have the tiles on before you know it 🙌❤️

Good job you two looking great thanks for sharing Pete cape town 😮
Thank you Peter 😊
Lmaso, every staple !….. I’d loose the will to live 😂

Good on you! I like the multi-layer roofing system.

A little pencil makes a mark lol its nice to see you making good progress😁
You have been working under some pretty horrendous conditions just be careful it will look pretty amazing when it is finished.❤️❤️
Hehe. You need a BIG marquee tent 😊
Keep on keeping on great work folks !!
Victoria looks so cute in her new rain hat!!
You guys are doing such a fabulous job. Very impressed.
Thank you Petra 😊
I am watching another guy in the states doing a roof and he uses a black waterproofing goop, tar like to cover the nail holes and the tape for the seems . 😊
You guys are great. 👏👏
Well done both of you, it's looking nice and getting nicer everyday :)
Always find it interesting how you all (across the pond) install insulation on the outside. Here we do the entire shell and insulate from the inside.
OSB here in North America is waxy and thats why the tape does not like to stick. The waxy substance is a by product of the glue used.
What a lovely looking building already. ❤. Xx
😂😂😂 I thought the exact same thing (Ricky needs a new pencil) great minds think alike Victoria!
Gotta hand it to you guys I have a low half gable roof and I don't want to get on it. Good on yous for doing this yourselves👏👏👏👏
You’ll get there!!
GREAT progress! I love watching your videos and how skillful you are! ❤❣️ Your doggos are adorable💕💗
you guys are real troopers
Thank you Carol, one step in front of the other! 😊
I would have left the overhang if the roof..makes it easier to hang the gutters....? Doing a splendid job!!!!!...
Love watching you guys.
Always a good laugh with you two awesome peeps😊 regards from South Africa 🇿🇦🎉
Thank you Lyn 😊
My favorite channel
You are the best! 🤗👍👍👍
Thank you 😊
Great job guys!!!
Coming along!! 🌧️/ ☀️ fun to watch you both!
You 2 absolutely wear me out😮💨 watching ALL your hard work you do!! Great job guys👏👏🙏🙏❤❤
Great progress guys! ❤❤❤
Who knew roofs are so complicated? Great job, especially in all that wind and rain (remnants of Ciaran?). Looking forward to seeing it with the tiles on and then…on to the interior! Hopefully the building inspectors approved, or at least were open to bribes😂. Loved the nature shots. Stay safe and have a great week❤
I would say they’re VERY open to meat-based bribes 😂 It always amazes me how we struggle sometimes with the wind & rain, yet a dainty butterfly can perfectly stay sat on top of a flower 🌸 Amazing nature!
