So glad Sharon doesn’t need additional surgery. Right back into collecting rocks and helping move solar panels! You’re a trooper! Wall is looking so good, Andy.
Good to see you again Sharon!!

So happy that you are healing well Sharon, take good care! Laura 🍻🍻🐶❤️
Nice to see you back Sharon, wishing you a speedy recovering. Loving the stone work Andy, take care
Stonework is beautiful. Happy for you Sharon that you don’t need surgery. Take care and sending wishes for a speedy rehabilitation!
Glad to hear your arms on the mend and no operation needed. The walls are looking neat xx
Great news Sharon.. If you are unhappy about the plaster coming off too soon, ask for another cast. It would be better to be sure than sorry🌸🌸
Andy, that wall is unrecognisable with your patching job. You really are a clever lad..
Cheers to you both❤️🌸❤️
The end results are fabulous Andy Such hard work but very rewarding Glad Sharon’s on the mend ❤️🩹 💕🕊️👍👍👍👍👍
I just love the extended patio area beyond the BBQ area..the paving stones and tree are a tempting 'explore'
The wall looks beautiful as does your lovely table. Glad to hear Sharon doesn't need an op.❤
Andy, try taking pictures on your phone of how the stones are positioned before you dismantle each small area.
Cracking along fast! Plenty building material lying around for lots of stone walls 😊.
Welcome Sharon ,happy your hand is healing well , cold beer and sun will do the rest.!!!... nice work on the walls well done again, .
Has Tilly chosen a human favourite yet between the two of you? Good news Sharon on the wrist!😊
Sharon is her favourite because she spoils her lol. Thanks!
Good news on Sharon’s wrist, collecting stones is really helpful for you Andy. Love the way the wall is going, I try not to thing how many stones to do before all your walls are done LOL. But I know that just like the kitchen, it will be well done and lovely. Quite a team!
Quicklime was used by my teacher in horse-riding to spray on the inner walls of the stable. It sure got rid of all unwanted insects that would bug the horses. But the horses had to stay outside for a time and people were not allowed in without protective clothing and masks.
Nice solar power with all your sunshine!!
Good to see Sharon again, pleased your recovery is going well ❤ wall are looking good 👍
Amazing results that you achieve with your expertise and great work ethic. Good to see Sharon back and healing properly. Always look forward to your videos and the progress you make.
Hi Sharon! Welcome home.
Thank you!
Glad you're home Sharon. Andy is a cutie but you're the beauty. Hopefully you'll be healed up soon. ❤
❤ thank you 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Great to see you back Sharon and fantastic news that you’re healing well and don’t need an op, thank the Lord it wasn’t your beer arm, I don’t think I could cope with that myself 😆…great work again..especially given how much time that lime must’ve cost you. It’ll all be so worth it in the end though 😀👍
lol, thanks Mark
Take care Sharon
Let Andy do stuff and you can always be the Clerk of Works.. old school..overseeing renovations 😁😁👍
Thanks
Thank you very much!
It may be slow and tedious work but does it look amazing when you get done.
Everything is looking great. Those walls will be better than first built when you are finished with them Andy.Glad to see Sharon back and looking a bit perkier than when she first broke her wrist. I hope it heals well without surgery Sharon.
Thank you 😊
Find hole,Vacuum hole, find stone , Wet hole...Slap in Lime mortar..Bung in stone...tap in stone...Smile😊👍🍺🍸
The process is running wel 😊 and now Sharon is back you are on the agenda again.😅 keep it up
Take care
We never thought of actually checking the temperature when mixing ours, all we knew was it got hot 😂also it gave off vapors similar to when we made putty from quick lime.
We only did it out of interest and because we had a thermometer stuck handily in a pot of compost :)
You need to start a fund to fee Tilly. My gosh she is getting big, but she's beautiful. What kind of dog did you say she was?
lol, probably. She's a Mastin or Spanish Mastiff
You're doing a fantastic job on your house. The courtyard is a great setting to kick back and have a beer at the end of the day. Do you have any info on the solar panels that you are adding?
Thank you - they are just standard panels available from the DIY superstores. In our case they are 405W panels and are 79€ each
Courtyard is looking wonderful but I think putting the solar panels where you can see them might spoil the effect. Why not put them on the donkey shed roof??
The stable roof faces north - it was considered a while ago :)
Trade her in for one with two hands
There's certainly no shortage of stones where you are. It's just a matter of time before there's a massive pile of rubble (more building materials) within 2 minutes walk. 😂
We are fortunate in having an abundant supply of raw materials lying around
@@FincaLife Say no more...
😉
👍😎 🍻
Hi which type of lenseed oil do you use 😊thanks
It's standard linseed oil available from the DIY super stores. It contains natural drying agents and in some places is referred to as boiled linseed oil.
@@FincaLife thank you so much x
Why do you do such a small mix does it go off quickly?
We mix what we can use - It takes about two hours to use up the mixes we make. If we're needing larger quantities at once, we get the big mixer out
🌟🍻👏👍🍀💐
Hello
Another couple of RUclips channels that use lime that might be worth watching is MAKE.DO.GROW and Portugal from scratch. You can slake lime a long time in advance apparently
If making a lime putty from quick lime (cal viva) it must be slaked and matured before use unless you are using it as a hot lime mix, which is a different method and for use in a different situation.
Why on earth would we want to do that? You can buy it, already slaked, for peanuts, without having to go through any of the palaver. A bag of quicklime costs nearly as much as a bag of ready to go stuff and we have better things to use our time on.
