- We're still cracking on with the vaulted ceiling and the front door but take a little time out for our local fiestas.

House renovation is thirsty work, especially an old Finca (Spanish farmhouse), so if you would like to buy us a coffee or even a beer, you can do so here: www.buymeacoff.... It would be very much appreciated.

Brilliant channel. My favourite finca restoration channel. You show it as it is, mistakes and mishaps as well as success. You both come across as very genuine people.
I'm starting to see how wonderful this house will be in the future; a real palace. Keep it going!
You must have the patience of a saint. I couldn’t live in a house which is a building site, thank goodness you have your apartment.
I was thinking about your front door with all the bits of wood missing. You could take the door and make a frame around it ,then make epoxy either clear or a bit of color. You would have a unique door with light and a strong door. 😊
that would be really special
I was thinking the same
We have experimented with resin outside in the past - We'll put the result in the next video :)
Thank you for the tour! I loved seeing the whole place at once. You both work so hard on your home and its beautiful!
Enjoyed your trip very much , you are such a hardworking beautiful couple....
Glad the weather cleared for the fiesta!
Loved seeing the parade plus where you get your mail! I liked seeing the big city ( haha McDonald’s!). I love that you are keeping the old front door too! Love your channel as always
Thank you so much for the tour Sharon. Been watching for a number of months (my fav RUclips tbh) and l couldn’t make hide nor hare of what was what👍
Keep oiling that door Andy and she’ll fill out and be looking like new before you know it.
Greetings from Oz!
Cheers😘
I love your commitment to preserving as much of the original features as possible and that door is yet another. It is beautiful and deserves to be nursed back to life as you are doing it could never be replaced with anything as characterful. You are a great team working towards the same goal and I love it.
The ceiling looks so great!
Thank you for the walk through Sharon, it definitely has helped me to understand your property.
Thanks joined 4 months ago so the update helps understand the layout 👍👏🏴
Thank you for the tour....that really helped understand the layout.
Thanks for another great video. The front door sure cleaned up well after the pressure wash. Should be a show stopper after a good coat of your oil.
Who even likes painting ceilings ??❤
Jean-Baptiste de Champaigne and Michelangelo apparently :)
@@FincaLife Haha! It's the numb arms,stiff neck and face splater......Bit like an edutrance sport...You would get 1st prize ...A fabulous Finca.....🥰❤
Never knew it was so big. Great to have a full look around. Man ow man you have loads to do, that’s going to keep you busy for a long time. Good luck ❤❤
The total constructed is 350sqm (3770 sq ft) - Yes, it will keep us out of trouble for a while :)
Lovely video! Tfs the tour of your home! Laura 🍻🍻🍻
Lovely. That door is looking good. Glad you had a bit of a break and enjoyed your town fiesta. Paella looked Yummy. 😊
What a wonderful life to indulge in Spanish culture x love your content 😊
Enjoyed the tour
Thanks for the tour, for a while I was wondering the relative position of your house to the neighbour's.
That was a lovely video😊
Looking good guys, lot more work to be done. Shame you haven't the money to buy the derelict building from the farmer.
He won't sell them - They are such an important part of their family history and they are very attached to them
Why dont you and Andy do us a song one day just for giggles after a few cold ones it would be great we will buy you big coffee so star struck we will be....
You would be better to buy us a coffee not too! lol. We have done in the past but always seem to get pulled on copyright
@@FincaLifeYou need to write a little funky finca ditty.... of your own original selves no copyrights required lopl
@@andyjota8906 lol, next time we get the guitar out
The house tour was ace. When I was there it looked completely different to the videos when you are working on a specific area
Perhaps we need a wide angle lens lol
absolutely love it !
What a great Fiesta...❤
You have made great progress. Enjoy your videos. At the end of small steady steps are great results !💗😊👍
Great taking us on tour nice to see. Succes with the door 🚪
Thanks so much for sharing la fiesta and your trip about town. I love the Spanish culture and it’s amazing to see the traditions carrying on, you rarely see anything like that in old Blighty sadly. We’ve just booked to go to Mallorca next summer, our first holiday abroad in ten years, can’t bloody wait ha ha!..I remember the days when we used to come to Spain three times a year sigh..anyhow, really enjoyed that, thanks again for taking us along!
Thank you Mark. Yes, the fiestas are a massive ongoing Spanish tradition. Mallorca will be a welcome break, I'm sure
Hi Sharon and Andy love the door, it will be magnificent when you oil it. Noticed you were having problems with the masking tape falling off. We had the same problem when we were masking our beams. My neighbour recommended using frog tape and it is so much better, it seals tighter, stays put and you can get aclean line. Many varieties for different surfaces, if it's available in Spain definitely worth checking out. ❤
Thanks for that - someone else mentioned Frog tape too. We'll definitely take a look
Leroy's I love that store, ours here in the South (Algeciras) is massive, we have yet to explore the competition Obramat
Your was very helpful.
Anither great video, guy's, but you forgot the subtitles! Keep the faith!!!
We're not sure what happened there...
Well done😃
Fantastic progress. Does the farmer plan to do up the main farmhouse, looks imperssive. Well done Sharon and Andy.
No, not at all. They do repairs on it so it doesn't fall down but that's about it. They use it to cook in the winter when they are working outside. It's totally original and stuck in a time warp :)
quite like the theme music at the start and end, did you perform it your good selves ?
Click on the title and read the description … has song info
Not us lol. It's a copyright free piece called 'Amazement' by the Freedom Trail Studio
Where are the dogs 🐕? I haven't heard or seen them in a long time.
You probably missed the video where Sharon explained the they rehomed the dogs. It was hard to keep them there, especially when it got so hot. And, I think, two puppies were cute until they became two really large dogs. Anyway, they're rehomed and happy.
Do you have a videos about electrics and changing plug sockets etc? Is there some where you’ve been looking to know “code” regs or anything like that?
Hi guys. We tend not to do videos on electrics as the consequences of someone misunderstanding and doing something wrong can be dangerous - if not fatal! 'Code' regs are pretty similar in a lot of European countries - I have done full electrical installations in the UK, France and Spain and all have passed. There are rules in Spain about certain appliances having their own circuit but whether these apply to domestic dwellings or rental properties, I'm not certain. If you're just changing sockets, assuming the electrical installation is good, it's simply a case of swapping the socket using the existing wiring. Of you want to drop me an email with more details I'm happy to advise fincalifespain at gmail.com. The main things to consider for a new installation are correct size and routing of cabling, potential circuit loads and protection devices and a good earth - the caveat is, if in any doubt seek advice from a qualified electrician as mentioned above, incorrect electrical installations are dangerous.
@@FincaLife hey, thanks for the quick reply! ah that makes sense not to go into to too much detail. Yeah I might send you an email, to give a quick opinion. A older guy has apparently recently redone the wiring but I’m suspicious about it. He also re-used the old style plugs that look like bathroom shaver plugs. Standard EU plugs don’t go all the way in and stick half out the wall when live 😳
@@SmithsdaleFarm ouch, sounds a bit iffy... be careful with those sockets - sometimes they have a very low amp rating. Standard sockets are usually rated for 16A. You should be able to change them if you're happy with the wiring. Check the consumer unit / electric supply box. It should have modern double pole breakers that break both the positive and the negative (i.e. two wires which should be brown and blue, going in the top and out of the bottom of each breaker) Also check you have an RCD fitted (A twin pole breaker with a 'test' button) Press the 'test' button, it should trip the power.
👍😎🍻
💐👏👍🌟🍀
Faltou legendas....................................................
Apologies, we aren't sure what happened...
If it was abandoned,, your house that is, why did you have to pay for it ,who took your money?
