Gorgeous!! Makes me really happy to see this big investment in to making the building true to its origins. There is something innately beautiful about big stone borders around doors and windows that most modern architecture seams to forget.
im really stunned how much work it is. Its really increadible, my compliments. 99,9% of people would just prefer to demolish and build a new building... Its amazing... It will last thousand of years
Respect from Croatia ... i already see this house will look amazing in future !!! Can't wait ! Good luck with your building and i like that you are so precise and have patience and skills with hands. 🙌😃🔥🔥🔥
A massive amount of work with MASSIVE stones. I have watched every stoneworking video in you tube and this was a masterclass in stone positioning and cutting. I would really like to see you packing some mortar BEHIND the stones when placing them in the wall and not only around them where it's visible.
Thanks warpspeed! Your comment means a lot to us. After we had leveled and stabilized the stones with small pieces of slate and granite (like you would do in a dry stone wall), we added some mortar. Maybe not as much as you suggest and would like to see, but also consider that even mortar erodes over time, a well placed granite piece might even last longer.
Just came upon your channel and it is amazing work, i especially love the fact that its all about the works and not trying to fill up with constant chatting, brilliant 😊
I’m so glad you share this with us. My profession is software project management…and yet my passion for things like this… welll let’s just say you allow me a little vicarious happiness.
You are welcome! Glad to hear, that you like our videos. I am sure you will find your way to live that passion and get that keyboard hands dirty on real tools. Wish you all the best!
Your own stone masonry skills are not shabby either ❤ If you spread natural yogurt onto the new stones the lichin grows quicker to blend in with the old 👍
What a magnificent job! Extremely well done. I would ask you to lengthen your videos to show more detail of setting and shaping the stones and figuring out the strange shapes to fit rather than fast forwarding through them. You and your colleagues’ craftsmanship needs to be studied and admired. Greetings from Canada, where I have lots of granite to build empires with. 😊🇨🇦
Hello my friend It's coming a long very nice. I like your work , and I can't wait to see the progress in next Viedeo . Have a good one Daniel from Switzerland
What a piece of sh1t you are. Like everywhere else, you can find good and bad professionals. Suggesting that just because it's Portugal it is remarkable that they are good at building, speaks volumes about your stupid and irreal prejudices.
Wonderfully skilled masons. Beautiful work. Do those masons prefer lime or cement for mortar? Why do you prefer the cement based? I’m confused about the layout. Do you have a video with the information? Thank you.
Thanks :)! Sure you can opt for using lime-based mortar for natural stone walls. It has several advantages over cement based mortars when it comes to giving the stones more freedom to move and cracks in the mortar can heal over time. However since we were opening windows we wanted the stones around it to be as stable as possible, so the wall stays in place and nothing falls on our head. This was the main reason why we choose a ciment based mortar. If you do not make openings or other structural modifications to your natural stone wall, feel free to try a natural lime based mortar or other alternatives which can have interesting properties that a cement based mortar does not offer.
@@vale.do.salgueiro i see. Although when asking myself what keeps stones near window openings stable, i can't believe the mortar it is. All the stones seem pretty heavy so much, that no mortar should play real structural role - that is just how it looks from the point of outside observer who has nothing to your experience. There's such a scare of using fully lime-based martars in structural works among specialists present on RUclips, that nobody seems even try that to practice. Along with that companies like NHL who produce lime do say their lime mortar can be used for that with regards to known material limitations. May i use lime for a stone foundation? Mistery, pure mistery.
Hi Goglebert, Its not only the mortar that keeps the stones in place, correct. It is also the positioning of the stones on top of each other. Like when you are building a dry stone wall, it is stable because stones touch each other and keep each other in place. However when you remove some of the stones in a stable dry stone wall, things get more insecure. Stones can collapse because some of them no longer are supported by others next to them or below them. If one falls, the ones above also fall. Now the mortar comes into play. It fixes stones at its position and makes it harder for stones to move out of their position and fall down. If one falls out it does not mean necessarily that the ones above also fall. That is why we used mortar and in this case we opted for a mortar that is stronger. Out of gut feeling... And probably it is possible to use other kind of mortars here too. As you say there is little information on this, so for the next ruin I am going to try a limebased mortar and will let you know how it goes. Regarding your question for your foundation I do not know. Do some test and ask more people/material or construction engineers to calculate the weights it needs to support.
@@vale.do.salgueiro Thank you very much for the attention and your reply! I would be happy to see anything build with pure lime at your experience. These days in Ukraine i am into some other things, but i still hope to discover a stone/brick foundation made with lime and it's secrets. Cheers!
That would be nice, also thought of that some time ago. But actually we put them because we live in a region where wildfires are not uncommon. So we thought better protect the windows in case one passes.
Yes it is not so easy to get a building permit in Portugal. You need a local architect and engineers to hand in a lot of paper work for you. In our case it took a year.

Your work is beautiful! It‘s a joy to watch you making progress! The tall window with the mix of new bricks and bricks of the wall is amazing! 🥰

Imagine how hard it was thousands of years ago with no modern tools? We had a different breed of human in those days.
Sir, I admire and bow down to your patience, skill and artistry! Truly inspiring, can't wait for the next video.
The windows look like they have always been there, incredible talent and perfect design..
As a stone carver used to working in granite: my compliments. Great job.
Simply magnificent. And so much respect for the workmanship of all. The professionals were awe inspiring. Thanks
Respect from Croatia ... i already see this house will look amazing in future !!! Can't wait ! Good luck with your building and i like that you are so precise and have patience and skills with hands. 🙌😃🔥🔥🔥

Are you actually qualified to be giving the experts advice in this way?? I mean more than just having “watched every stone working video on RUclips”.

I’ll be working with similar granite in Galicia. Very helpful this video. Thanks a lot!
Absolutely love what your doing to this place , its going to be beautiful when you are done , CONGRATULATIONS !

I like the slit-wondow-construction. Looks great, being unregular by using the existing stones. 👍🏾😎
Hope next video is coming soon. 😉
WOW! This video made me a little nervous but it all turned out so beautifully. Thanks for posting. DA
I understand you have water flowing by. Muting it a bit would give a lot more peace and quiet for half an hour.
Keep up the good work!
Amazing craftmanship!
Loving the way the tall one uses the existing stones!
Eu adoro casas de pedras! É um trabalho ancestral
Absolutely amazing work. Loved watching that!

Really interesting and impressive, your stone building skills!
Massive stones, scary to watch. Amazing end result.
Really good and informative. Thank you
Wonderful
This is the most complex stone workmanship that i have ever seen.
„Don’t try this at home!“ … 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Beautiful job
Magnificent stone work!
Beautiful, nice job
Wow! Your Portugal Professionals are way more professional than other Portugal "professionals" I have seen on other channels. Excellent work!
What a piece of sh1t you are.
Like everywhere else, you can find good and bad professionals. Suggesting that just because it's Portugal it is remarkable that they are good at building, speaks volumes about your stupid and irreal prejudices.
You are magicians. How you put that tall, slit window in without the wall (and corner) collapsing, I'll never know.
Strong work!
Super Arbeit, verlangt viel Geschicklichkeit.

Love natural stone work

Восхитительная работа!
awesome. i wonder, what do you guys think about using 100% lime-based mortar for such works? Do you see any potential in it for this day?

Fantastique job ❤
NICE BUILD
Amazing work! I'm just curious as to the sprinklers in the windows. Are you going to do some kind of living wall, and need them to water the plants?
That would be nice, also thought of that some time ago. But actually we put them because we live in a region where wildfires are not uncommon. So we thought better protect the windows in case one passes.
excellent ¡ formidable travail
Did you think about perhaps installing a couple of more powerful light bulbs to brighten the interior? Or maybe a skylight? 😂
Compliments !!! du beau travail.. à 2.38 quel est l'outil sur le perfo ??? Cdlt.
imo you should engrave 2024 on one of those window top stone
very nice work amazing
10:13 - That bottom doesn't look flat. I;m sure it is though. But anxiety so much, haha..
sprinklers for a forest fire area?
Compliments ❤
Reason for sprinklers?
What is that bit that you are using on the hammer drill? Amazon?
Hi Tiogoala,
added some links to Amazon into the video description for you.
Chapeau l'artiste
You were probably asked this several times but which 3D software modelling program are you using please??
massive stonework
Cuando uses el taladro para picar la piedra, prueba a darle girando también verás que es Mais fácil
AMAZING!!!
Was it very difficult to go through the building permitting process in your area?
Yes it is not so easy to get a building permit in Portugal. You need a local architect and engineers to hand in a lot of paper work for you. In our case it took a year.
What are the sprinklers for?
In Portugal, unfortunately, they have this tradition of setting their forests on fire. The house is in a forest, thats why.
beautifull
Wow - now it look supoerb.. BTW - make 1 way roof
Madeira?
,👍👍
Que buen trabajo, que hermosa estan quedando las paredes.
what is the name of that instrumen please
What instrument?
If its the tool to work on stone surfaces you can search for: Sds Plus Bushing Bit, or Stocker
A fantastic work with great professionals!
But it seems to me that the architect was a bit silly or the owner has an unfathomable bank account...
멋지게 변햇네요 저도 같은일 합니다
