Kirsty what impresses me the most is how much patience you both have for the other. You needing to do things correctly, and Shanade building with gusto and a dream, what a combination you are !!!! I think it is wonderful !
We all have our way of doing things. Never doubt your way of getting things done Kirsty. Different is good! Whatever you do is always a work of art, solid and isn't going anywhere soon. Taking time and thinking things through is great. You've also developed a set of skills for helping others too. What a special group of women you are. I hope you have a great week! Take care.
Thanks! Yes, my shed will be different and take way longer but it's more permanent and I have the time to take on it. This shed of Sinead's is an excellent quick solution and it' been fun to see something go up quickly, for a change!
Kirsty lovely to watch friends helping each other, to work out difficult problems and complete needed tasks togther. Glad your friend now has solar energy installed. Portugal is just such a caring, happy, lovely place. I love watching your tranquel happy, relaxed beutiful country videos.
Those power lines, frustratingly, can't be connected too. They're more powerful ones for moving power between places, not for hooking up to. She did get a quote for going on grid but the price was around the same or a bit more than the solar setup and would involve bringing lots of poles and wires down into the valley so she opted for solar in the end.
Kirsty, you and Sinead make a good team. Sinead is settling in to her living quarters. We need for her to be warn, dry and cozy for winter. Thanks for the video. Take care. Stay safe.
Kirsty you gotta get Sinéad to be churning butter now since she finds tamping relaxing! Looks like Sinéad is getting right to it! No messing around in her world!!😂 So glad you girls are independent and can fend for yourselves building your lives as you please! You guys are definitely not helpless.Women and I love that! Kristy does your friends with the pond have a RUclips channel to watch?? I really worry about the base boards of that little shed sitting on that concrete is going to rot very quick. THE BASE OF THAT BUILDING NEEDS TO BE UP ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT PART OF THE BUILDING SO THAT THEY COULD BE CHANGED IF THE BASE STARTS TO ROT, AND THE BASE OF THE BUILDING NEEDS TO BE TREATED ON THE FLAT SIDE BOTTOM.
A bit of freshly churned butter would be great! My friends with the natural pool who we picked olives with? No RUclips, no. I also worry about the base! I agree, putting wood directly onto concrete, especially at ground level isn't ideal. It's what the guy in the shop recommended but I'm dubious for all of the reasons you've mentioned. We're thinking of solutions and will come up with something... open to ideas! 🙂
I suppose that by now the shed is already done. But if not Sinead might consider to put a layer of blocks underneath it. And also to put an extra ring of stones around the shed. I know that is more costs and work, but when it rains the rain will splash up mud against the shed, and with the extra blocks under and around the shed that mud won't splash up against the shed as much. Which will protect the shed a lot more against wood rot. And I would also highly recommend to paint the first layer of planks before installing it, especially the underside where the wood makes contact with the stonework. Otherwise the wood will rot very fast, probably even within a year. There is a product that is called Bison rubber seal, that would be a very good product to protect the underside from the wood. You might even consider to paint the entire first layer of planks with that rubber seal. I bought that rubber seal 2 days ago, it was an entire kit with a brush and some fiber so that you can bridge larger gaps, and a mixing stick, and it was only €15. But it will last forever after you applied it. It is also good for fixing roof leaks and making things water tight such as leaking water storage tanks, or to protect wooden planters against rotting from the inside, or to protect wooden fence poles against rotting. It is very strong and after application it will stay flexible and you can apply it on pretty much every material, except for some plastics such as nylon. Anyway, keep up the good spirit. 👍
All great advice and I would have done the foundation a bit differently in order to have a stem all for the wood to sit on. I'm a big fan of a rubble trench foundation but the guys in the shop recommended this. way. I definitely see the flaws and keeping the wood off of the concrete base where water will be is important. We're trying to figure out some solution now... thanks for the info and advice!
@@PortugalfromScratch I really recommend to apply the rubber seal anyway, and to seal the area or the gap where the wood meets the concrete tiles. So that water can't even get under the wood or inside the shed when it rains. When you apply the rubber seal make sure to tape the wood with painters tape where you don't want the rubber seal, so that you get a nice straight edge. Remove the tape when the rubber is still wet. The rubber is 15 euro, but I can guarantee you that it will expand the lifetime from the shed by many years. Otherwise I do not see how the wood is not going to rot within a year. And when that bottom plank start to rot the entire shed, including the electrical system will come down or it will start to lean over. I would also recommend to make a dedicated frame and a board for mounting the electrical system and that is not attached to the shed. And I would not recommend to install the electrical system directly to the walls from the shed. The planks from the shed are not thick and strong enough. And I would recommend to install some extra 2 by 2 upright beams in each corner from the shed in order to support the entire shed. Those planks are not made to support a lot of weight.
@@insAneTunA All great advice, thanks! We'll look for that rubber seal stuff tomorrow in town and try to retrofit it. Sinead is insulating the shed and cladding the inside with OSB board so it'll be very strong when it's done, but ya, the sheds aren't the strongest things and without that the walls are quite flimsy. Thanks!
I love your community. So nice to have friendship and help nearby. All these tasks tackled are interesting. Love getting to see all the steps. Music is great too.
Great work laying base for shed but girls can you both consider your knees and use knee pads as you will suffer damage getting older. Rubber cushions are vital as prevention is better than cure. Tis a pure joy watching end result ❤
Sinead is a very organised person 😊 Love her choice of shed, I have seen one of those on an Irish channel I watch and it was lovely for them and actually fairly easy to put together. Theirs was bigger tho as it was being used as an office primarily 😊 Looking forward to seeing what happens next 😊
Hi Kristy. These materials are pretty cool, could you tell me what the boards are called? Do you know if they are sold in the US? Love to use it on my chicken coop.
Not as far as I know but with all of the things inside there and the wooden base, I'm doubtful fireproofing would help with a fire... what is it, exactly?
@PortugalfromScratch You can buy fire retardent treatments for tents & other materials, just put 'fire retardent treatment for tents' in Internet search engine.
I think it can be 30% larger than the footprint and she's also adding a second floor. I think the current building is around 4 x 5 metres on the inside.
You are the envy of your viewers. I am sure many people would like the lifestyle. In fact, I am sure many Americans who have flexibility will get out before the inauguration. They may even become the new refugees looking for a country. Never mind...going forward is best and muting out the ugly roar is essential.

Sinead is a very organised person and her choice of little shed is lovely.
She is!
I just love watching women figuring it out and doing it! Well done, ladies! Power secure, every woman's dream!! I concur!!
Hugs from 🇨🇦
Haha, yep! Power will be hers... soon!
Kirsty what impresses me the most is how much patience you both have for the other. You needing to do things correctly, and Shanade building with gusto and a dream, what a combination you are !!!! I think it is wonderful !
Ya we work really well together and it's always lots of fun!
👍👍
Chenade and you make a great team.
I think so too! It's fun to work together and then see the results at the end.
Kristy you are an amazing neighbour. Your dream to build a community of sharing and caring!!! I’m so proud that you are our Canadian sister!!!
Ah thanks so much, thanks really nice to say! 🇨🇦
i thought for a minute the panels were going on the shed..things are moving along fast..sinead is fully glamped up..good stuff.
She's on it!

Wow great work ! Solar power and women power Ya got it all going down there 💪☀️
We do, thanks!
Kirsty

Portugal is just such a caring, happy, lovely place.
I love watching
your tranquel
happy, relaxed beutiful country videos.
Thanks! Yes it's great here... solar is on the way but there's been a bit of a delay in the delivery, so hopefully early next week. 🙂
She's opting for off grid instead of the nearby power lines, that would be tempting for many. It's looking great!
Those power lines, frustratingly, can't be connected too. They're more powerful ones for moving power between places, not for hooking up to. She did get a quote for going on grid but the price was around the same or a bit more than the solar setup and would involve bringing lots of poles and wires down into the valley so she opted for solar in the end.
Ah, right, that is frustrating but also, who would want to see all those poles anyway?
I agree!
Kirsty, you and Sinead make a good team. Sinead is settling in to her living quarters. We need for her to be warn, dry and cozy for winter. Thanks for the video. Take care. Stay safe.
She's got a lovely, cosy setup in her yurt! I'm about to head down now for a glass of wine by the fire. 😁
Kirsty you gotta get Sinéad to be churning butter now since she finds tamping relaxing! Looks like Sinéad is getting right to it! No messing around in her world!!😂 So glad you girls are independent and can fend for yourselves building your lives as you please! You guys are definitely not helpless.Women and I love that!

Yes. Maybe a piece of pressure treated wood with a little bit of a moisture barrier under foot.

Keep on keeepin on
😀
Thats what friends r for 😊
Yep! 😀
Great shed setup, lots of work but I’m sure it will be much used. That is also quite the solar panel setup.
Yes it's going to be a great little space for her!
Great work laying base for shed but girls can you both consider your knees and use knee pads as you will suffer damage getting older. Rubber cushions are vital as prevention is better than cure. Tis a pure joy watching end result ❤
A fine suggestion, thanks!
Sinead is a very organised person 😊

Looking forward to seeing what happens next 😊
Ya the shed is great! We'r making good progress and hoping to have it all done by tomorrow and then the solar stuff on Thursday. 😀
She is, indeed! It's a great shed, it's been fun to work on it... more to share on Friday! 😀
‘I do know it has six panels’ 😂. Love your work
Haha, thanks!
They sell them sheds in Canada. I have seen a few of them. Looking, awesome girls. Love it.
It's been fun to put the thing together... so far! 😁
That's gotten pretty far, pretty fast!
Yep! 😀
Neat shed!
Ya it's a great wee thing!
Saludos
Hi!
Hi u r both doing good 😂
Thanks! It's been fun!
Was sinead’s shiney new green /orange wheelbarrow a nod to her homeland?!❤❤😊 🇮🇪
Haha, maybe! 🇮🇪
❤❤❤
😀
Don’t make it level! Have. Slight slope away from the yurt for drainage. There is my 2 cents worth. 😂
Ooh nice idea! Well, it's definitely sloping in some direction!
👍
😀
Hi Kristy. These materials are pretty cool, could you tell me what the boards are called? Do you know if they are sold in the US? Love to use it on my chicken coop.
Hi! Do you mean the shed? It's sold as a whole kit, I'm not sure you can get the individual boards. But they're great! Go together very easily.
Look for something called a bunkie
Ur doing it right, wood is flammable ie not good in portugal
Yes it’s better to build with clay, I think!
❤
😀
in your country have hard wind??? because this electricaly panel necesary more heavy base..... for my.. bay
It is actually quite windy at Sinead's but the solar guy seems aware and confident, so that's all we can go on. 🙂
Hi🎉
Hi!
❤️😁
😀
Hi Kirsty, has Sinead's yurt been treated with fireproofing?
Not as far as I know but with all of the things inside there and the wooden base, I'm doubtful fireproofing would help with a fire... what is it, exactly?
@PortugalfromScratch You can buy fire retardent treatments for tents & other materials, just put 'fire retardent treatment for tents' in Internet search engine.
How big of a house is Sinead going to have built?
I think it can be 30% larger than the footprint and she's also adding a second floor. I think the current building is around 4 x 5 metres on the inside.
👏👍🌟🍀💐
🙂
No fanning about thats mt gal Sinead
Haha, nope!

Yes it's definitely a nice little life we've got going on here! 😀
Please keep your left arm down.
Sorry, that thing has a mind of its own.
❤❤❤
