  • Wouldn't want to do this for a living, but feels good when done. Im dreaming concrete at the moment but this old Portuguese house deserves it. Every stage now feels like a transformation.
    Thanks for watching and all your support.

    Every Sunday morning I excitedly say ""We've got an Andrew!". I run downstairs, make coffee and we both indulge. Frankly, we feel like we have done the work and own the house 😅. You are clearly a top man. Keep on being a legend and I'll keep on making the Sunday morning coffee for my beloved 😊

      Here in Canada we’ve had consistent 25-30 C with high humidity. I can barely handle gardening, and my husband stays indoors 24/7. I’m watching this from my back deck under shade and a welcome breeze, but it’s 29C at 11:30 am. Yes. I am amazed with what Andrew accomplishes in this heat. Then the monsoons come.

    You're doing a great job, Andrew. I’v been watching your vids since the beginning altho never commented. I used to be in IT and never felt I did anything building our digital world, but the second we bought our dream home: “Płaza del Pile of S%#T” it all changed. Great experience, loads of knowledge. Mishaps will only strengthen you.
    Looking forward to follow the projects. Sincerely Lars.

    When I did my obra in Spain our fridge danced all around the house stopping in every room as each was replastered. Suddenly it (and everything else) found its place in the new kitchen and - ahhh - suddenly things clicked into place and an ordered home was created. Such a relief!

  • @AbigailGerlach-zt1sh

    Dogs are so smart. Go for the simple solution. A cool concrete floor, a bowl of cool water, and a bit of shade outside for a change. It's we humans who make everything more complicated. Silly us! Lol.
    I've decided I'm a cool weather woman, so I'm hibernating when the temps hit 30+ degrees. It's ridiculous to hope for a blizzard in July, so I'm aiming my desires for the end of August. 😏
    In Portugal, do new construction homes get designed with a basement? Considering the summer weather, I'd have thought a basement would be a must. It's easily 20° cooler than the ground floor.
    Order your stones, tidy up, head for the beach and your juicy steak! Enjoy you weekend!

    With the quality and efficiency of modern windows and insulation, underfloor heating is an unnecessary expense that can cause problems if it leaks (and it often does). Great work, you should be very proud of what you've accomplished.

    Good job! Two points my grandparents gave me years ago that helped me through life. Grandma said ' Rome was not built in a day' which I had heard so many times , except to my projects. Grandpa said notnto worry about codes and proper way to do things , one proper procedure changes and second poorly built houses might only last a 100 years , you'll be dead don't worry. Point is your doing well and your legacy will continue. Blessings from America.

    Another great video, thank you Andrew. I agree with you that under floor heating is a luxury and not absolutely necessary if your funds aren't a bottomless pit. I'm still finishing off my house (a steel colourbond house above ground) and a wood heater is perfectly adequate in the freezing Central Highlands area of Tasmania. Wood is now very expensive but if you can get wood at a reasonable price then it's the best type of heat.
    Hugs to Chris and Will 💓.

    Ps I think you did right not having under floor heating, but wood is warmer. Here they put a mat & then wood on top. Its called click flooring. You join each piece together & it clicks in place. So much quicker than tiles. Tiles are very cold & if you drop something on them Ive experienced both. From a woman’s point of view. 😂Naturally your choice. 😘
