FIXING A BIG PROBLEM The LEAKING FLAT ROOF / Glamping update

- This roof has been a challenge. To get this far and still discover a leak was disheartening. Hopefully now it will be resolved and the water barrier membrane will do the job.
Sometimes the simple looking jobs can be the hardest yet this will be satisfying when it works.
Thanks for watching and all your support.

What I particularly like with this channel and your projects is that you actually get the job done and finish what you set out to do, regardless of how tedious and large the tasks are. Superb execution, always.
You are a 100 percent star. Magnificient work getting that roof re-proofed. I admire your persistence and perfection.
I feel sorry you’ve had to deal with the aggravation of all this unfinished business. Great you have taken it in stride…..serves no purpose to stew. Now is the time to focus on the positive and not let circumstances suck the joy from the possibilities of your soon to be amazing home on your gorgeous land. You’ve got that figured out, and you are skillful and hardworking . I will enjoy watching your continued progress !
Wonderfully said.
Well put
Very true
Couldn’t agree more
I agree with this philosophy, don’t stress about the things you can’t control
Your videos are the absolute antidote to tv home repair shows. Every single one is inspiring in the best ways.
Wow. What a huge job!!! Congratulations for completing a 2man job in 1 week. Now you definitely know it won't leak. Happy you caught this before completing the interior. Its was a pain but a major blessing. Enjoy your week and the summer weather.
If you want it to be good, do it yourself. (Napoleon)
Doing roofing work while wearing flip flops?
Sir, you are living the life!
Fortunately it's a flat roof 😂
PS you and your dogs are a joy to watch.
Will and Chris are Majestic looking dogs ❤🐕🐕
From an obviously angry man to a focused and determined man who is now plainly enjoying his work. Go for it Andy. And when the roof is fixed don’t forget some Andy Time. Enjoy yourself and leave the anger behind, which I am sure you can and will. All the best, Steve
All the wildflowers are really beautiful!
Looks great well done. I am feeling disgusted (for you) that the contractor left all of this to you to do the work and pay the bills for his mistakes. You are truely a man of many gifts and abilities.
Nature’s canvas of wildflowers is absolutely gorgeous!
I cannot believe that you are back to fixing the roof. My God Andrew, I could cry for you. Bless your patience and perseverance In getting it done. I know it can’t have been easy. Take it easy now for a few days, give your hands a chance to heal and look after your back. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I thought the exact same.
Good on you Andrew. Never daunted, always moving forward.
Kept wishing I could hand you a leaf blower... Take care. 👍👍
Andy! You are "The Man"! Taking negative energy and turning it into positive energy!
Man I'm glad you didn't get rid of the house the scenery is so beautiful and it's a real Joy just to take this journey with you it's going to be beautiful I seen your work on the village house you and James and Christina did a beautiful job so I know you're going to do a beautiful job on your own home and I don't mind you taking as much time as you want because it's not the destination it's the ride getting there and I think all your viewers will enjoy that I know I do anyway my best to you and yours God bless😊
Great to see you again Andy.
The roof terrace is starting to come together and you are doing a fantastic job. Well done. 👍👍
That blond guy channel is the best there is with Portugal content.
have to say it andrew your a demon on the trowel great job you make it look easy .your a positive person and you,ve bounced back from the problem the builders left you. You know what they say you cant put a good man down and your a perfect example of that well done
I truly wish you well with this new product layer on the roof. It really is hard to push ahead, and be forced to re-do someone else's job when they should be the ones re-doing it. I understand, however, that you have made the right choice to put it behind you and do it right yourself. You're setting a good example for all DIY-ers who may find themselves in a similar situation. I hope the weather cooperates and allows you to get this done as soon as you can!
Well done Andy, Mr. Positive returned. A mammoth job , let's hold 👍
This IS Real Algarve Living! Silence, sheep, snoozing dogs & bird-song, heavenly just heavenly. You are creating peace to live in - well done!
I really hoped the contractor would have remedied the situation, but I guessed he did not
Hopefully any final payment is adjusted appropriately
If you get the glamping thing going, we're going to have to come to Portugal! Thanks for everything and keep ignoring the "nattering nabobs of negativism" when they surface!
My husband noticed some things that the roofer was doing, that would later cause an issue, he even specifically said, leak. I am very sorry I just did not put in comment, but did not want to be "that person" :( Then maybe you could have at least check out what he noticed and it would not have gotten this far. If he were home right now I would ask him what he saw.
Your videos are very inspirational. A constant reminder to have patience and take things slow. Thanks for sharing your building journey
It's a shame people are so unreliable. Well done on a fantastic job, Andrew. Stay happy and enjoy life x
The actual quality of the videos has improved greatly with your new camera and editing. A joy to watch and share your journey with you.
Hi Andy, nice cinematography and video editing this week. It made what could have been a boring video very entertaining. This must have been a lot of extra effort on top of sealing the roof but appreciated. Nice job with the roof.
Great job again. I wish you all the luck for the coming week. Blessings!
It definitely didn't look easy! You are one hardworking man Andy.... very impressed with what you are accomplishing AND your dogs love you !!😊
I admire your tenicity and will power. Keep it up.
Bravo, Andy. 😊
Good job you had heavy rain before tiling the roof and doing indoor work so you saw the roof leaked. Although it's given you work to do you weren't expecting at least it's been nipped in the bud. Hats off to you Andrew for simply getting on with the job at hand. You are an inspiration
Oh very well done . What a huge job and so efficiently accomplished. Your skills continue to amaze me,well skills and sheer unstoppable persistence. No drop of water will dare broach that barrier . The tree’s white arms looked wonderful viewed at night with your roof work light illuminating them .What a beautiful property you have.❤
You have such absolute commitment to any task at hand, it's inspiring!
Happy to see you, "complete the square". You will be successful.
You might want to consider doing the same steps up and over the top on the inside of the parapet. It is an area often overlooked, and with the amount of work and destruction done on the parapet it could easily create a path for water intrusion to run down the side and under the roof membrane. Not necessary to do the outside of the parapet.
Great work Andy 🫶
Another great video. I feel invested ,as a viewer, in your channel. It is a bonus that your dogs are involved and living their best lives too. Looking forward to the tile installation on your roof top veranda.
Well done Andrew. What a lot of work, that's a big roof. Your skills are amazing - you seem to be able to master every task. You got your mind set and just look at the result. Hope your back survived - we were worried for you. Love watching the dogs, they have a great life with you. Looking forward to the next vlog.
I am watching all of your hard work and thinking that I might do things a bit differently and go to plan B. . By the third or fourth time of roof leaking, I would be putting me a roof over the roof/ terrace. It would still be a nice place to be outside in the fresh air but it would not rain on this pesky roof. It would make a super party covered terrace with grill, pizza oven, party lights, and anything else. An outdoor kitchen maybe for too hot to cook inside days.
That’s what you do. You make us dream about this place. lol!
I so hope that the roof’s waterproofing barrier that you applied works - no more leaks! I am looking forward to see the tiles you will add to the roof top deck. You do amazing work Andy, thanks for the video.
Almost 100,000 subs 👍
What a massive amount of work. Good on you for having such a “can do” attitude and work ethic. All the best.
I bet the roof is sound now. Well done Andrew. 🥳👏👏👍💞
❤Andy...just keep us all going forward. I once thought I would write a book ' The Reality of Fantasy ' Or What I wished, is not what I got. As I sit here in my now wonderful Jamaican Villa...this 14yr journey has been bloody hard ...... Paradise With Prickles on It. 🇯🇲
My latest mantra: Keep calm and carry on like Andrew 💪🏼
Man! Absolutely, love your channel! It would NOT hurt my feelings if they were a bit longer! Excellent job!
Lots of patience, lots of hardwork and of course, lots of money. Great job.
First....The roof system looks great. I had to laugh when you were worried about having enough mix. I manage to convince myself a little thicker is better and wind up with three or four extra bags. Then...Because I'm worried about coverage, I forget to include overlap in the mesh and wind up three feet short on the final application.
Thanks for all your time.
Good Gawd, Andrew I think part of the reason I watch this is because of your focussed discipline. The roof repair looks like it’s gonna work for you. And, you have a roof. Good work.👍👍
Andy ,having had the exact same problem,make the evacuation hole really big so that the leaves can pass through and not block the hole and cause a water backup.
Hi Andy, Howdy from California. Your channel showed up as a viewing suggestion on my account 6 months ago when you released the 2-part village house renovation project. I loved those vlogs, so much, that I went back to your vlog #1 and started at the beginning. Fast forward 6 months later and I've finally caught up. The village house turned out so great and I'm so looking forward to your renovations on your plot of land. The relationships you have with Will and Chris are so loving and it's a joy to watch you with them. Looking forward to viewing when the vlogs are actually released. Michele
Well done Andy 👏👏
Your lovely boys have a great life there with you, sleeping on the warm roof, cooling off in the pond. Us people will do the work😂good luck Andy🙏🙌
Thank you Andrew, another terrific episode in your refurbishment process. And what an achievement, finishing the waterproofing of the roof - to your exacting standards! Helluva good job, you've got to be proud of that!
I too feel very sad that your contractor left the roof leaking. It's so frustrating when they do things like that.
You did a fantastic job on the roof.
What a joy!
Finally !
Sure it's a huge burden off your shoulders!
Sorry you had to do that again but at least you know it's going to be sealed and waterproof!
Looking really good!
What fun Andrew, with the noise of the sped up footage it took me right back to my scalextric days
Andy…. Epic task mate…. Think you’ve solved the leak… kick back and enjoy your weekend mate⚒️🔨🔨🍺🔥👍🫵🏻
Clean up always gives me a new perspective. The dogs look so happy. It’s going to be great 😊
Andrew, I've been in your shoes before and I don't know how you do it. You are correct about one thing you're can stay mad and pissed off you go nowhere fast except being mad and pissed off. Sometimes when you want a job done correctly, unfortunately you gotta do it yourself. That's what it looks like you're doing, moving forward in life, good job mate! Keep up the hard work and I'll keep smashing that like button and watching your content.
It's a shame you had to repair the roof yourself, but at least now you know it's done correctly.❤
I was just thinking, "What about the box?" ... and then you cut to it. There is hope and I believe that it's on your side. Excellent job!
Wow, well done Andy on all your hard work getting your roof water tight, love your dogs 🐕🐕 can't wait to see your next video , take care ❤❤❤❤
You are persistent and determined Hope this is a final solution to the leaking 👍🏽
Aww Andy you're so methodical and a perfectionist in all you do. It's a shame you've had to spend time doing that but it's done now and looks really good. Beautiful scenery out on your bike rides...no wonder you love living there. Have a good week xx
Hi Andy, just brilliant attention to detail and commitment - well done. As a long time viewer, I still find it a privilege to watch your endeavours. Best wishes from Brisbane, Australia
Definitely not an easy job. Fingers crossed the testing goes well. You've done a fantastic job so far I think. Stay positive and this whole roof saga will be all behind you soon.
And congrats on the glamping news :-)
You've got such patience! Looks good!
I'm glad to see your roof is coming together nicely, God bless you , God bless your Family. See you on the next video.
🤲💐 Glória a DEUS! 👏👏👏você está DE VOLTA INTEIRO 100% Andrew! O trabalho no telhado com TELA ficou PERFEITO mais RESISTENTE, Vídeo Lindo TOP Amei TUDO, o panorama praiano pra RELAXAR, a RELVA, flores, o por-do-sol, os cachorros felizes; como gostaria de falar Inglês pra entender tudo que você fala Andrew, sigo Google tradutor dos comentários pra entender, maravilhoso te vê vivendo o cotidiano dos momentos sublime no Algarve. Grata por compartilhar conosco, Felicidades Mil na sua VIDA CALMA e LINDA na Natureza , cuide das mãos ok? boa semana 🤗🇧🇷
In Israel there are bituminous sheets for sealing roofs. The tarpaulins are made of tar with a mesh and a thermal coating from the kamesh that reduces heat transfer to the roof of the house. The sheets are applied by soldering with a gas burner. Such a sheet lasts at least 15 years and even more. A layer of light concrete can be made on the sheet and you will have complete silence from long-term leaks.
Good to see you back in action Andy. Roof looks great. Fingers crossed 🤞
I would put a screen on roof drains to ensure leaves dont get in and clog it. Im loving your home and property.
Been playing catch up on your videos and the resilience you display is quite impressive! Hard to believe those workers you hired can get away with such terrible results! Nice to see you learned how to fix the situation for yourself ~ great solution Andy! The finished product will prove your best reward and hopefully well worth all your efforts. Thank you for sharing the journey with us! 🦋
Fantastic ! Nice work! Can’t wait to see the tile go on.😎👍🏼
Loved the zippy mowing, like busy little (big) bee 🐝 😅
Gorgeous rooftop...I m team Alex..im sure you will have this rooftop watertight 💪
Seems like a lot of painstaking work, but very nice to watch every week. Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you for letting us take a look at the process of creating a beautiful home.
As a painter and decorator a few years ago we painted a few lidos (paddling pools) for the local council and we used chlorinated rubber rolled onto bare concrete in a lovely shade of blue. Seem to remember painting the foot Wells in my old XR3I escort with it aswell to seal them 😉
😍It is truely beautiful where you live. Sometimes when sh.. happens it sounds crazy, but I feel it’s meant to be. Think if it had happened suddenly when you were getting inside completed. Your surroundings help heal so much. ❤what you are doing. Take care & have a Fantastic week. 💕
🎉 Great work Andrew 🎉
You really are an inspiration, Andy. It's so easy to feel overwhelmed when things go wrong (like after all that time, cost, and effort spent to have your contractors work on the roof and then having it leak!) Most of us have experienced that kind of setback, in one way or another. But not you, Andy! When you're knocked down, you just seem to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and then you go figure out how to solve the problem! Thank you for your videos.They make me feel as if I can find a way to be more competent (like you clearly are) when I see how well you handle the various problems that arise! Keep up the good work. Wishing you all the best in your continuing endeavors. Thanks for how you cheer me up with your positive attitude and "can do" approach. Your house is going to be great, and may it bring you great comfort and joy.
Beautiful assortment of wild flowers you've got there ❤ and that last bit was very refreshing. Might want to try setting up a temporary tarp on the roof while working up there in the sun sweety. One that can be moved around easily enough and that will keep the area covered where you're working. 🍻
You are truly admirable‼️ You are a perfectionist and your results are top quality‼️😍👍🏻
Well done on putting the wrongs to right. More power to your elbow. Onwards and upwards 👍💪❤️
Working at night, great idea❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ya need one of those leaf blowers. I used to hate the sound of them, but then someone gave me an electric one and I use it all the time! Now I'm the annoying noise maker. Haha//
I was practicing my Portuguese before bed (that's how I found ur channel).. Then I had a dream I moved across the street from your land & when I saw you I yelled "hey, that blonde guy!!" Haha
Great work, great video night time shots. Wish I had a food top hang out like that🌎🕊🙏😎🌼🌸
Looks like you’ve done a great job, I hope you can get the tiles down and know that that is the issue solved. The property is looking beautiful just now with the meadows blooming.
great job on your roof Andrew !!! sooo much work but you always soldier on !!! keep the videos coming
Inspiring and encouraging for many reasons. Keep going, and bon chance.
Looking good. Progress and moving forward. Blessings.
Good job Andy - pleasure to watch
That did not look easy. Carrying all that out, by yourself? As a workman & builder you are an effing beast, man!
I'm sorry your roofers let you down. I can't think of anything more disheartening. The good news is I've seen your work on the house you did with your brother (?) and quality will never be an issue. You will never settle for half-assed work.
(forgive the expression)
30°C is not ideal. When it gets that warm at my house an afternoon siesta is a sure thing. Frankly, I can't stay awake! Lol. I probably won't be buying a summer home in Portugal!
Look after your back!
Great views of the coast. I sometimes wish I was closer to an ocean. Ah well, if wishes were horses, beggars would ride! That's an old expression!
Blessed Be!
Woo hoo 🎉 What a relief to have that roof done fingers crossed for the water test but the cardboard box test is very promising. So glad you didn’t have to remove the previous product that the workers laid down. I love the bird songs that you catch on the video. I wonder what they are. The meadow flowers are so pretty right now. I’m interested to hear more about your glamping idea. Gorgeous spot you have there Andrew! What a spectacular coast.
