😭😀😁👍😁😅😘🙂👏

Another box ticked off (well two really 😉) it might be worth investing in an SDS drill to save your arms from all that chiselling, if your house is anything like ours you will be doing a LOT more of that 😂. We drove past your house a few days ago and it is looking good, keep it up 👍

Any news on your D7 visa application yet ? My wife and I had our "interview" with VFS on 1st July and we are still waiting 29th September.

👌👌👌💯💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️

Is the box area abit sqiffy or is it me 😂. It was me lol

Aww, bless Mum for sending such an excellently useful cutting tool. Great to see Dave so at ease with creating pathways needed to fit boxes and conduit in your stone house. You've taken pretty well to what were new building skills, being thoughtful and methodical helps a lot. Oo, i just had a thought: you know what might be helpful during you dyi and after is an air purifier. It'd be multipurpose as aside from building dust, it'll help with any sooty air, Sahara dust clouds, road dust kicked up from passing cars, things floating in from strimming, rototilling the kamd, burning debris, etc. I got 2 for our house when we has successive years of great forest fires in Northern California -- they made a huge difference in our home's air quality. As our also having heating & air circulation features, i keep at least 1 on for most of the year. Great investment. Hooray for being ready to get hooked up for grid electricity!

Good job ❤

If you get a misting bottle with water in it and give a couple of squirts high in the air during grinding, the mist will capture the dust in the air as it falls. Clears the room much quicker than waiting for it all to settle naturally, and makes breathing a bit easier. I don't envy you the job. Good result though - electricity one step closer :)

❤❤😊

We enjoy your videos because they are real life. You are both doing great. Can i ask if you have heard about your visa yet please? We went to VFS Global in London yesterday for our D7 😊

Amazing job😘😘🤗🤗🤗

You looked and sounded upset at the beginning of the video. I have renovated a house, it takes a lot of time and effort. It becomes overwhelming if you just try to get everything done as fast as possible. With exhaustion comes mistakes, corner-cutting and disappointment even depression. Be kind to yourselves. You are achieving a lot. Take the time to smell the roses often. You WILL get there and it WILL take longer than you imagined. Jen you are really an excellent renderer :)

Looking great Dad and Jen! Xx

Glad you've got your priorities right. I always remember the fellowcfrom Part-Time Portugal saying "Well, this is Part-Time Portugal, not Kill Myself Working [24/7] Portugal." Love your practical approach to making your home liveable. Best use of finances smd upcycled materials. Your rendered walls transformed the stable from hovel-like to a pleasing, clean place to help keep whatever you store in there from getting mildewy, etc. Your instinct to dig the floor down seem spot on. From watching other channels, your laser level (that will come into your life) will help you get the earth as level as poss, you'll put down a sheet of moisture barrier to run up the walls a bit, use stone or composite aggregate to level the floor, then pour your cement. If you want underfloor heating, i believe you coil the hot water piping over the steel wire support laid over the gravel before you pour. Just saying out loud so you have an idea of what to look up re steps to such a project and materials you might need. Keep having fun!

Good balance with work and play. Lots of love from Florida

I agree with your comment regarding making time for friends and leisure. Appreciate the reasons you chose to move to Portugal. Love and best wishes to you both. ❤

Jen your walls look beautiful!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

👍

I agree with you, friends are treasure, and as long as you have food in your belly, a warm bed and a dry roof over your head, you are rich. Jen is becoming an expert renderer.

Slowly slowly wins the race! Take your time and don’t forget to live the dream 👍 Can’t wait to see the finished kitchen too.

Good job, you should both be proud of the jobs you have completed. I couldn't agree more with you about the price of wood here! Brian and Diane x

Loved how you both laughed when he said that the room was a temporary situation. That is was going to be a luxurious home kitchen some day.

Continuação de bom trabalho 😊

EXCELLENT, PERFECT WORK

Loved the story, Daniel,truly is a great guy,i couldnt think on having a better cousin for life .

Upcycle Recycle… great job 😀.. drove past your place yesterday ..

👏👍

Great job on the windows, use what you have before you start throwing money at a project! A couple after our own hearts. Keep it up 🙂👍

That is a very nice door for 100 Euros. Serves it's purpose for sure. It's well made and hefty.

Taking shape! All these efforts are paying off. Can i ask where your furniture is please? Did you bring any or store it?

Well done

Great door and at the end of the day will do the job just as well as a new one. Doors and windows are so expensive here and yet many are manufactured locally. This will give you peace of mind.

One can make a very comfortable home using 2nd hand furnishings, and hard labour. One man's rubbish is another man's treasure. The door will do very well.

Mooi werk👍👌

Wat een mooi video deze week en ook lang🎉❤

Jen you are an artist, excellent job!🥰

Good afternoon, I just discovered "I want a lemon". I am trying to watch all the episodes again, but it is very difficult to find the order. Is it possible to provide the next movie with a sequence number. Thanks

Qwerrt

I can see that you two make a terrific building team. It's obviously great practice working on out buildings, ahead of plastering or rendering your main living space. My rendering tip would be to make sure you soak the old clay brickwork well first, before smearing on any mortar or render. Otherwise, in your Portugal climate, the render will dry too fast, with the dry brickwork sucking all the moisture out of your mix. Was this room used as animal stables before? Just watch out if you seal it off for a storage space, you'll need some ventilation, with at least one opening window or large vent, on the opposite side from the door - which ideally you should also leave open. I'm guessing the floor will have no damp proof course. Can't wait to see where you go with this. I'd love to have an old building to renovate like this.

Awesome! You will always treasure that bed, made with your own hands❤👏🏽👏🏽

Good job with your bed. We might pinch your design because it looks nice and sturdy and we are both pretty sturdy people. Thanks for a great video. Brian & Diane ❤

A great video this week! Brilliant team work, that is the way to get things done. You might find it easier if you make your top mix a touch wetter, but I can't argue with your results!! Well done. Brian & Diane 😀

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Looks really good, amazing job Jen you inspiring us 💯🙏🏽

Get Jen a job plastering at a local builders, good job.
