As a woman in living in London working a corporate job, I really look up to you both, but Kylie has a special place in my heart. She really inspires me to do more. She is the embodiment of a strong successful woman. I love the way she thinks and plans, and I love how she can be thoughtful and gentle as she does things too. It's amazing the life you have built yourselves and how you inspire others to work hard and pursue their dreams. As a native Portuguese you make me homesick, I would love to be back as the way of life is a thing of dreams, however there is no economic pull. London has allowed me to have a successful career and there is no way I would have been able to have anything close to this back home. But I want to say thank you, thank you for investing and giving back to my country. Also thank you for cheering up my Saturday mornings, I love these videos so much! Wishing you all the best. Also please tell Kylie I find her accent endearing. It's an odd mix of Australian? and southern English? I don't know, but it has a lovely twang. Take care!
I hope it will be possible for you to return to Portugal should you wish so later in your life😊 I agree, it's very inspirational to watch these videos.
@@Winnie-hq5hs I would love to retire back there eventually
Kylie is an Australian who lived in the UK for quite some time.
Thankyou for those kind words 😊
We are very fortunate… we used our successful London based careers to enable us to move here and establish this life. We can’t emphasis enough how welcoming the Portuguese people (and government for allowing us) have been, it’s truly phenomenal.
So if you wanted to return, we are evidence that it can be done … with some hard work and planning (took us about 10 years to get everything in place).
My accent is a mix of Australian and British, having spent 20+ years in each (being born and raised in Aus then moving to the UK)
@@MAKEDOGROW Did you use the discontinued golden visa scheme? Thinking of using it for me and my wife to be able to live in other EU countries
Several channels feel it is an instruction video for every little project they need to do. Several think the audience wants to watch them make strange facial expressions. This channel is always a good view. We enjoy your banter as it fills the work with the pleasure part of tedious projects. You are definitely excellent planners and doers and video makers. Keep us up to date and waiting for the next episode. The trip with you has been great. Keep it up.
Yes, I am one of those people that does enjoy watching and listening to you both work. Love the noises of the hemp/lime work. Squish!
I agree. It has an ASMR quality to it. Which, by the way, I would love to see Guy do with a food/garden episode. (wink)
I absolutely love the organic nature of the walls. They are beautiful!
Kylie and Guy, We love the channel and enjoy seeing the progress. Being a gaffer, I couldn't help but notice that you used Gaffer Tape to hold up those cool vinyl zip up doors. A word of warning, Gaffer's tape reacts to plastics and rubber after a few weeks. It gets all gummy, sticky, and really difficult to clean up. That's why we don't use it for cables on long term projects.
I would love to see your unseen footage or bloopers from your house restoration.
Me too!
Me too !
“Just cuts out dur….” Made me genuinely LOL.
😂 not everyone will get it, glad you chuckled
Haha. This made me laugh too. 😂
I agree with Kylies perspective on the finish of the walls. It does fit in with the character of the house. It looks great!
It's always a pleasure to see your progress. Best to you both.
Always love your content. And even more, love your company. Adding in the 'talking' segment is delightful because it's like spending time with YOU. The plastering came out awesome by the way. I really do enjoy a more 'organic' feel to a home.
Maybe it's just me, but this is the first video of yours that I skipped forward. I love the rounded edges too ❤
I must say you two are Never boring…..I love your interaction
Waking up and seeing the progress on your renovations and your garden is my favourite part of Saturday mornings. Things are coming together nicely.
It's amazing how quickly the look of the space outside transforms into a uniform and calming interior. You can literally picture the finish project once the initial coat goes on.
Great job.
Maybe you need a small wooden door on hinges over the electrics going into the fuse box? I imagine it will be handy to always have access to that part.
It seems that the fuse boxes will have an a fire proof doors, same material as the boxes their self. It's a safty issue.
Don't mind you talking its100% better than music😊
I really like the imperfection and texture of the hemp lime plaster-reminds me a bit of handmade pottery where you can see the traces of the hand that formed it.
yes to the extra footage and also request for a blooper reel :D
So many plastering techniques. You should make a compilation video and add in bits of you on vacation getting plastered on local wines.
You are doing a great job in maintaining the character of your building, and your videos are never boring .
I really enjoyed this episode. A lot more fun compared to the sanding . You guys work so hard. You're making such good progress. ❤️
Just seeing you sanding and getting the job done is rewarding enough for me. You might be surprised just how quick it goes.😊
It helps to make the wood wet with water before you plaster. The plaster dries slower because the moisture out of the plaster won't go into the wood.
I did a couple of shelves in my house and admired my work for ages. What you two do is miles beyond my small projects; what satisfaction! Bravo.
I know what you mean about those gloves. I worked in "cleanroom" environments for several years. We wore full body "bunny-suits" including nitrile gloves. So, to keep from having sweaty hands [super dry hands, and developing skin irritations] we also wore Pure Touch Glove Liners. Maybe try those under your rubber gloves.
Greetings from Palm Springs California! 50 years ago I would eagerly await Saturday mornings with my sisters to watch cartoons. Now I await all of my You Tube heroes in the EU who are homesteading, farming and /or restoring ruins and old farmhouses. Unfortunately, it makes for an unproductive morning for me😂 I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!
That is so lovely, I can't wait for your lovely ceramic decorative medallions and cute cat pottery you will later be inspired to create!! No pressure!!
The spaces in the laths were to allow the plaster to hook over the lath so it was really important to push up when applying. Those “hooks” then held the weight of the plaster firmly to the wall. You probably saw that squished through and folded over slightly in the old plaster you removed? Your laths are soooo neat (Kirsty?). Love your channel and until the crochet episode I was slightly worried about what Kristy would do with herself when the Reno is finished
That hooking over is a lot more important when using lime/sand whereas lime/hemp is super light. Plus, hemp sticks to almost everything… including a flat surface of timber. It truly is amazing to work with
ps. It’s Kylie 😀
@@MAKEDOGROW oops sorry Kylie
For a two person team the progress being made is quite impressive.
Love the rustic look of the plaster especially where it meets the stone walls. It will be beautiful.
its after 3 in the morning here in the states and this is nice to see
Wow, that’s dedication 😃
I would watch it. Gonna be hilarious. Watching you both talk for 20 min is a good way to get to know you a bit better. Next to learning how to adapt when renovating. You always have great video's to watch in wathever format.
I agree with Kylie it looks GREAT!!!!!! Love the texture and the curved walls. LOL! GREAT JOB!
I enjoy all the LEARNING SKILLS aspects of your channel!!! You make taking on new skills and jobs seem less daunting and more achievable. 😎❤️🥰🎶🎶🎶⭐️⭐️⭐️🌻🌻🌻
Smushing day againg. "nice little space", that remains to me the movie Being there, Mr. Chance in elevator, wondering: "It was a very small room"
Another awesome video! I am envious of the life you lead to a point, but I'm also fully aware that I don't have the attention span to do it myself, and I have zero tolerance for living rough. That being said, watching you two work together has always been a joy, and the fun banter (and the deliberate jump cut) was hugely entertaining. You guys are awesome. Keep on keeping on!
go you two - very jealous of your location and efforts. We go to auction a week today and then a few days after we move to our new home - so think of us please?
The wood strips and plaster bring back memories of my grandparents ' house in Indiana. I was raised by them on their tree nursery/farm. My grandfather remodeled the house in 1968, he promised my grandmother he would do this but she died in 1964. One of his sons was a contractor and family pitched in to help. I remember smells of drywall, plaster and smoking pipe tobacco each day. When they tore out the plaster walls they found historical items left in them. It was cool to see. Maybe you should put a time capsule in one of your walls.
You can search for anti fog glasses, and N95 masks with a filter. Or a respirator with a pancake multi cartridge filter. They are flat can be pink in colour filters that work for dust, vapors, aerosols, fumes, particulates etc… There are also ocular goggle type glasses with foam rims that have air vents. You can also look into face shields. Best of luck to you, PPE is tres importante! Always protect your vision, hearing, lungs, appendages, and wear proper foot wear. Glad to see you wearing it.
Yep, we’ve tried multiple ‘anti-fog’ glasses, but still haven’t found any that actually work.
We already have the serious type of respirators with the hard triangular type filters, but can’t find anything that’s good for just woodworking. I’ve seen the pink type ones on YT but can’t seem to find any here. Might have to look further afield.
Our steel caps are probably our best, and most effective PPE purchase 😀
Oh please include it! you might deem it silly, but it's part of your lives - keeping it real.
Another lovely video and it was very interesting watching you use and applying hemp plastering. I think it is much better than dry wall. You both are doing a fantastic job. Slowly, slowly is the best remedy than rushing ones projects. It may take time but look what you have accomplished. Have a lovely day.
So, mud pie-like smooshed on wood slats.. excellent 👍
In the past couple of years you've used various mixes of plaster over a variety of surfaces, so I would consider you to be plastering experts! You could put together snippets of your videos that involve plastering and publish it as "Plastering 101" for the novice. You doubtless know more about the subject than the people who write the instructions on the bags.
I loved that, plastering is so satisfying to do and watch, obviously much easier to watch but I did have get a coffee part way through so I did my bit lol. I think the idea of the outtake talking shit video is great even leave the swearing in if you not worried about being demonetised for it, but I do think more people than you think would watch it 😊👍 great work guys ❤
OMG! The place is coming together, a bit at a time. It's looking so good. And my 2 cents...I love hearing you two talking sh*t.
What an AMAZING technique!!! 🥰❤️😎👍👍👍
I was watching a French builder ,renovating his own house , he cut some pieces of straw ,in his lime mixture , I hope it can help !!! ...
I always look forward to your videos, I think you both keep it real, and your honest about everything, and both work so hard.
Plastering over lathe is just how my house was built back in 1896. I love how you both work together.
and my house in LA in 1936
Wonderful job, looks fantastic!
Nice wishing you too one good week injoy it
Kirsty from Portugal from Scratch has done several lath and hemplime plaster walls might be worth a look 😊
Yes, but she doesn’t seem to finish anything….
15:15 I suspect the end result is going to be vastly different, but I absolutely love the gap shadow between the wooden frame of the door at the top and the lime plastered wall. * chef's kiss * (btw, hell yes to the deleted scenes!)
Very wise advice on the merits of lath and plaster
Kylie and Guy, the concept of hemp and lime looks natural indeed. I remember doing plaster board, mudding, taping and skimming it shows up imperfections more readily. Through my eyes as a viewer, the finish looks more authentic, warming, and original. It has surely shown the possibilities of potential and craftsmanship from a unique perspective. Thanks for sharing, and yes, the dialogue draws an audience into observing, with a feel of being there. At least it did for me.
Love the banter and watching you work things out and enjoying the progress. Don’t mind at all if it is slow progress.
Love what you both done ,i like the round cornes, well done , Time you have finished this house ,will be well build ,cheers to both ,
I like the unedited chat 😊
Maybe bi-fold doors for the dunny could be the answer for you.
The hemp plaster I reckon is a great success on the lath and just love the organic curves on the corners. And YES keep talking crap too!! hahaha
The different type of hemp/lime finishes, consistency mix, finish expectations (smooth, flatish, rough, rounded) for pointing, wall build-up, slat fill. Subjective and personal. Each recipe requiring some functional tweaks when desired.
I believe there are anti-fog treatments for glasses (sprays/wipes). Decades ago my Mom had a waxy type of product that she scribbled onto her glasses like a crayon and polished the surface with a cloth. Hope you are able to find something like that in your area. On a funny note, when you use your nailer, closed captioning says "applause", LOL!
Yes, I would watch episodes of "Talking Crap".😁
As far as the sanding video, maybe you can narrate over it, chatting about future plans or technique. Walls look nice! You and "Portugal from Scratch" are the only 2 who use lathe and plaster technique (that I've watched). It's a cool process. 🥰(Robin E.)
Any progress is worthwhile seeing so film.
Another cracking job. You guys have made that look easy! Well done! 😊😊
I agree with Kylie, the rounded edges are so organic and beautiful
The renovation is starting to get really interesting now. I love your wobbly walls!
The hemp looks so good
Nice Lathe loo walls 👍🏻
Having someone to banter with whilst working together passes the time.
Like plaster corners too.good job.looking foward seeing more .thanks
Hello there send you a big hug from Ireland 🛠️🔧💪👍🙏👌⚒️😉🏕️🏚️🥰 What you are creating is unreal restoration project to a very High Standard all the best 🙏🛠️🔧🍻🥂🏡🪓🔐🗝️🔨🪓⛏️⚒️🛠️🧰🧲
The light in that foyer is stunning. The work is coming along beautifully! 😎
Love the episode in the little room!
Maybe try spraying the laths with water. They are bone dry and absorbent, it would be worth trying at least. I did a quick search on Google and all hits say to wet the laths first.
Great job! Love seeing this! If you want to be able to keep working in colder weather, we would recommend mixing also with hydraulic lime (we use Prompt by Vicat, which is also available in Portugal!) You will reduce the curing time and improve the consistency of the mixture!
This is one of the few walls that isn’t stone … and we don’t really want to use hydraulic on our stone walls. We’re hoping we might get to do some proper hempcrete, rather than hemp plaster, in the future (to add to a very thin brick wall) and then it would definitely be better to add some hydraulic.
We’ve not had a lot of luck sourcing hemp related products here, no-one seems willing to deliver to us (we’re right in the middle of the interior which is too far from many of the bigger cities)
How clever so useful to keep dust out well done and thks for sharing
Lol. Well done with the chat and cut!
Very satisfying results! Well done you two!!
It looks good and the texture will keep it quiet. 👍
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
I'm always talking crazy love your crazy talk x
If you've got a water connection to the house, taps that fit onto plumbed in piping aren't expensive, and you may be able to plumb in the toilet so it flushes, and have the rest of the plumbing to finish when you can. You don't have to do the entire plumbing work at the same time at all.
It looks great! Naturally and original.
Rub washing up liquid onto the inside of the glasses then wipe it off ( no water ) that will stop fogging for a couple of hours 👍
Cool, will try that. We have about 20 different pairs and they all fog 😟
Or do the same method with shaving foam. That usually works :)
Why do I watch your videos? I enjoy watching your relationship, as you make your way through each project. I think Kylie is amazing and her skill set is extraordinary. The two of you follow the old saying "Where there is a will, there is a way" in all you do. I think the two of you will make this old house very beautiful one day soon. I love your garden and trees also..
I agree with Kylie the rounded edges of the walls looks less clinical.,I really like what you've done on the walls, well done Guy on getting the consistency right. Roll on to the next project xx
Great job plastering!
Very well done. Looks great.
Your an amazing couple working together
The room is perfect the way it is, natural, nice wooden door to finish.
Love your channel. Xx
It looks very hard to do. Yikes you guys are brave. 😮
Brilliant job, well done. You are both so clever xx take care
I love your back and forth banter! And wonderful senses of humor,; keep it up!
I've got drywall in my house, and rounded corners. There's a round corner trim piece that goes over the edges of the drywall and gets mudded in.
Thanks for the chuckle #Talkingcrazy.
Cut🖐️🇦🇨
We like sanding ! 💗😊
I sure am glad you guys felt this project was fulfilling. It looked like the most dreadful of all the things I've watched you do. Thank goodness it is such a small room!!!
Loved the small talk while working. That’s what hubby & I do. So keep that in your videos please👍
Lovely finish. I adore the curved edges, too!!! I am always listening at the end for Kylie's "Bye!"...wouldn't be the same without her steadfast, cheerful goodbye. Good luck on the sanding.
Ah a couple who plaster together stays together! Even in a cupboard xx
Such a neat job you have made of the walls.Especially in the heat of the day.Hope you both have time off soon for a little holiday.🎉😊
There's more benefits using hemp lime plastering compared to dry wall'in;
- Texture; The walls are "organic" (as someone said), does not - depending on personal taste - require filler and sanding and additional wallpaper or paint.
- Acoustics; The surface irregularities gives a less "echoing" area wihtout need to add additional textures.
The latter might be a benefit in a toilet - sorry....
You are both so hard-working, and I am always amazed. I am in your cheering section!
I’m waiting for a surprise kiss you give to Kylie while in the little room!
Bless you two, for being yourselves! With my coffee in hand, it’s a humanly way to enter the day!
