A KITCHEN ROOF at last - British couple's renovation progress ABANDONED FARM in Portugal EP53
At last, the outdoor kitchen of our renovation project in central Portugal has a proper roof - transformed on the abandoned farm site from tumbledown buildings covered in vegetation, via a camp-style temporary cover, to a proper structure. It took us a year, but we are only in Portugal part-time, and it was well worth the effort.
In this episode, we pass a big milestone in our renovation project, and do it in our typical style - optimistic, having a go, with a few embarrassing mistakes thrown in - as we challenge ourselves to learn, enjoy and grow older with a smile.

Ruined house renovation - HARD SUMS for kitchen roof rafters in Portugal - EP52
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.16 часов назад
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 an...
Turning the corner - renovating Portugal abandoned house kitchen roof EP51
Просмотров 3 тыс.14 дней 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
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.28 дней назад
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...

In this video, we’ll focus on the outdoor kitchen as we renovate our ruined farm in central Portugal. 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. Then, we build on last week's work to raise part of the frame, add a temporary section, and cover it with OSB and waterproof membrane. This is the driest and most structurally sound roo...
Adapting to AUTUMN IN PORTUGAL on leaky ruined farm - EP47

The rain sets in at our leaky ruined farm, but work continues as we renovate our abandoned homestead in central Portugal. This week we learn to live with some scavengers in our kitchen store room, and work around the limitations of solar power on stormy days. A highlight is a day out in Coimbra with friends Geoff and Lesley, still around after the exertions of last week, who make excellent tour...
KITCHEN TEAMWORK - friends lay outdoor kitchen gravel floor in abandoned farm - EP46

The outdoor kitchen floor project gets a boost as we team up and welcome friends from London to help us renovate our abandoned farm in Portugal. Geoff and Lesley kindly broke into their holiday to help us out, and we had a blast preparing the timbers, levelling the sub-floor, and laying the gravel base. Phil and Geoff go back 25 years through work, living in the same London neighbourhood, and a...

Lots of digging at our abandoned house this week as we make the outdoor kitchen floor lower and level, and respond to an unexpected failure of the canopy roof. This is our project to renovate an abandoned stone farm house in Portugal and turn it into a dream home, future-ready and sustainable with off-grid power, heating and water recovery. #outdoorkitchen #abandonedhouse #stonehouse #ruinedfar...
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? What will we build? Will we do the work ourselves? Why did we connect to mains water? Do we stay at the farm in the winter? Will we move to Portugal full-time? #oldhouserenovation #movingtoportugal #r...

The outdoor kitchen at our ruined farm renovation project gets another upgrade with the addition of hot water - that's great news because nobody likes washing up or showering in cold water, even on hot summer days.

Portugal abandoned house renovation - nearby fires but safe - EP42

A normal week gets turned upside down, but don't worry, we are safe and the risk has gone right back down. We see the fabulous Bombeiros dealing with big fires around the country, and a couple of times get a bit closer to us than we would like. The community pulls together and our thoughts are with those further north still at risk or impacted by last week's events. In other news, Phil gets sta...

      I’ve heard of them used for that. Don’t know the technicalities, but good luck figuring it out. Let me know how it goes because we will have a big span in ours when it eventually gets built.

    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 14 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. 💪🛠️😎
