Ruined house renovation - HARD SUMS for kitchen roof rafters in Portugal - EP52
The kitchen roof goes a step further at our ruined house renovation in Portugal. This week Phil makes the structure more robust to survive Portuguese rain and wind and then adds the rafters. This is more challenging than expected when we have to calculate dimensions and spaces on top of a roof. Lots of hard sums, and all our engineering and maths qualifications are lost in a flurry of mental and phone calculator maths written up on a scrap of wood. It almost worked out to plan.
Meanwhile Jane is back on the landscaping, trying to make some sense of the sloped site that will one day be a series of flat spaces for entertaining and relaxing. One day!

Turning the corner - renovating Portugal abandoned house kitchen roof EP51
Просмотров 3 тыс.2 дня назад
After all the dismantling, we turn the corner to build a proper roof to protect the outdoor kitchen, the only catering facility at our abandoned house renovation project in central Portugal. This has become the centre of the site and so, before it faces another winter, we must give it the protection it needs. This structure is intended to last for many years, as a remedy to the multiple tempora...

Portugal renovation part-time - resetting priorities - EP49

We are back at our old house renovation project in Portugal after a short break. The part-time approach enforced by Brexit visa rules means we must reset each time we return. New trip, new enthusiasm, and the list of jobs is longer than ever. Everything has grown, but it's great to be out in shorts at this time of year and getting back to rebuilding our abandoned off-grid farm. The big question...

We go back to the first days to see where we have come from with a short timelapse of one year's work so far.

The rain sets in at our leaky ruined farm, but work continues as we renovate our abandoned homestead in central Portugal.

Why choose Portugal? Ruined house renovation Q&A - EP44

We celebrate one year since we first saw our ruined house in central Portugal and started the renovation project. We've had many questions, like: Why choose Portugal? Has Jane done voiceover work?

Will we move to Portugal full-time? #oldhouserenovation #movingtoportugal #r...

    That looked like a black squirrel, for many decades living in NY state I only saw chipmunks, or red or grey squirrels...when I was in my 40s my dad sent me a picture of a black one he saw, that was the first time I knew they even existed...I have seen more black ones the last couple of years with my own eyes, and much less chipmunks.

    • @HotkeysPortugal
      @HotkeysPortugal 13 дней назад

      Possibly yes, but I’d rather go that way than under-spec it as it is intended as the ‘permanent’ structure there. I am working with the available materials - I originally planned 4x4 columns but the timber yard only had smaller or 6x6 in stock so I went stronger. Probably for the best as I will also be mounting some solar panels on top of it as well. 💪🛠️😎

    • @HotkeysPortugal
      @HotkeysPortugal 21 день назад

      No, not missing anything, just a result of late material supply leading to a temporary fix while we waited for the base plates for two of the main posts. We have dabbled with sail awnings and tarpaulins in the past but they never really stood up to the weather. We wanted to have something there whilst we were away, hence the boards that we have just taken down again. Not ideal, but now we have all the materials, this is the ‘proper’ job going up. It will take us a couple of weeks to get it done properly but it will be worth it in the end. I think/hope.

I saw this one on another channel and they rated it highly. It has been brilliant so far. And thank you for the invitation - we have so much to explore and if we make it to the north we’ll be in touch. I take so much from seeing how others have done their stuff - can’t stop learning, even at this age!

      Thanks a lot. Ours are at least 20 years neglected and produce virtually no fruit. First pruning last year were a bit tentative, then we got some help in to show us how deeply it should be done on old trees. No fears now, but a lot of branches on the ground to process. Give them a few years and we should have a collection of healthy and productive trees 🤞🪚😎

    Мне очень интересен процесс покупки автомобиля. Не могли бы вы описать его более подробно . Вы не гражданин ЕС, и вы еще не имеете вида на жительство в Португалии, и у вас нет резидентской визы( вы когда то говорили , что приезжаете по Шенгенской визе). Какие нужны документы для совершения сделки ? (NIF, британский паспорт с визой , подтверждение адреса проживания , счет в португальском банке ......) Где вы получите документы на купленый автомобиль (физические документ на бумаге или пластике ) ....

      Hi Alex - the purchase is still in progress and I will go into more detail in a future video once it is done, but for now the process has been quite simple. We used a local agent to help us to find the car and he has done the paperwork so far. All we have needed is a NIF, our local address (proof is on the NIF) and passport for ID. I understand once complete the documents will come to our house in Portugal. I hope that helps.

      @@HotkeysPortugal Спасибо. Я планирую переезд в Португалию и покупка автомобиля по приезде - первая задача чтобы быть мобильным. Мой NIF оформлялся удаленно и в нем стоит мой русский адрес. Этот адрес выставлен на продажу(((((. Чертова война и ипотечный пузырь держат меня.

      There always stuff that gets in the way. Good luck sorting it out, and take a deep breath when you start looking for cars, especially good quality and well maintained used ones - the prices are astronomical by the standards I’m used to in the UK. Just part of the local picture I guess.

      ​@@HotkeysPortugal Я морально готов ценам на автомобили в Португалии ( они ниже чем в моей стране ) . Диплом инженера-механика и 30 лет работы руками дают мне неплохой шанс ремонтировать авто самому ( месяц назад я делал замену 2 ступичных подшипников , замена задней ступицы , замена 2 шаровые опоры , замена рулевых наконечников и 2 сайлентблоков ревизия тормозов и регулировка схождения колес). Надеюсь потратить на авто до 4000-5000. Многие частные продавцы хотят делать смену собственника "на месте", этот процесс мне не очень понятен. Есть совсем странный вариант - ездить на немецкой регистрации ( Старшая внучка живет в Германии). Еще раз спасибо , что уделили моему вопросу время .
