Honestly Kirsty it looks fantastic but I wouldn't expect any less from you and you wouldn't accept anything less. You are a perfectionist and will do everything to that standard. The mortise and tenon looked great too lots of hard work but oh so worth it. Look forward to when you get your new window in its going to make a huge difference for you 😊
The last shot of you with the window in the backgroud makes me so proud of you! I followed along with each and every piece, small and large, heavy and "light". The four study frames looked so impossible to work with. They gave me the most worry. And there they firmly stand! All done by patient, determined, ingenious YOU! I know there is more to do, but CONGRATULATIONS are in order. Well done! May God bless you! Can't wait to see you safe and warm for Winter and with a beautiful view! I bet the Mikey and Larry take over the wide window sill, though!
I was also a bit worried about those side and top pieces of stone but they're in there firmly now and it all seems secure. I'm very excited to get the window in and call this done! 😀
Have you thought about selling your snail logo as stickers or decals? I am really inspired by the concept of slow steady achievements. I bought a small old caravan and despite lots of calls from friends and rellies to do long trips around Australia, I’m taking my time doing small local trips to slowly get used to how it works and where everything is. I’d love to have a snail sticker for my van ❤
I have! But first I want to get more colour into the logo and then I need to figure out which company to use for this. It'll be a rainy day activity, hopefully sometime soon. 🙂
Love progress on your window. You are very particular about making things exactly as you envision. Thanks for taking us along for the process. Things are looking awesome.
Oh my goodness, the window is looking great. I’ve been waiting for you to take this on. I hope that all that light into your cozy abode will add so much to your life.
you can be proud of yourself and I love to see you being amazed by your accomplishments. That smile on your face 😀. Hope the window guy watches your channel 😅
All makes sense now 😊. The window space and pointing looks pretty awesome!! I love seeing how you put so much detail/care into the repairs you do. "do it once & omce is enough' 😊 agree about the plexiglass or even plastic sheeting stapled on a wooden frame maube enough to keep rain out until we wooden window placed. Brillant!! 😊
Nice mortice and tenon work! Go to a salvage store and see if you can get a large plexiglass panel to cover the whole window while you wait. Happy Saturday from Mexico.
One of the frustrations of living in Central Portugal is that the local culture values their used items. Good for the environment but difficult for newbys on a budget. Salvage on the secondary market is limited in both variety and discounted price. Due to the sparse population distribution, the fuel cost for the distance you often travel for picking up the item is exceeded by the price of the item. It is very difficult to "out-frugal"the Portuguese! I have been shocked to learn that new people to Portugal like me have to buy used shipping pallets because the sources of "free stuff" and construction "trash" are not obvious.
@@cathythomas2692 It's the same here in Mexico. Used things retain their value to a high degree. There are salvage places because of the denser population here, but they're found in the tent markets or sketchy areas.
Kirsty you have done a fantastic job of that window. It's looking like it could of been an original window opening from when it was first built. Well done you, you should be proud of yourself. 😊❤
Brilliant work on the window framing. When the window itself is in and pointing of the remaining front of house is finished, it will truly look amazing.
Wow - that looks like a genuine old stone window opening, like it was put in 100 years ago by someone who knew what they were doing (instead of having been put in just now by someone who knew what they were doing 🙂). Your little cottage/tiny home is going to be really lovely.
👏👏👏 you handled this window project like a pro! Good for you Kirsty. It looks fabulous! So excited to see the window installed and to see you enjoying the window. Take care! ❤️😊
What beautiful work Kirtsy. I think you should be very proud of yourself, learning new skills to finish your projects and doing such a nice job. It nakes your house look really cute and welcoming. You must be so happy to see your hard work turning your dream into reality.
I love the way the wall is coming along around the window, it looks very good. Perhaps you could make temporary shutters or something similar that would keep out rain but you could open them when you want some extra light in the house.
Thanks! I think making temp shutters would be tricky so I’ll probably wait until I’m ready for the real thing… but once I get this wooden box fastened in, I’ll think about a better solution while I wait for the window.
Absolutely fabulous, you have done a good job, it looks great, in my opinion this is the best project you have done. It transforms the external appearance for the better and is sympathetic to the character of the vernacular, it will transform your internal space likewise. If you have not specified the joiner to include a fly screen I would wish to ensure that your window design will accommodate a fly screen, if you later choose to add one.
Thanks! Ya I’m so happy with it so far and it’s a huge difference to the inside. I forgot to mention that… I asked for a quote with a screen. Let’s see what he comes up with!
Hi Kirsty, I am so happy to hear those words of pride!! What an amazing job. You did it and did it beautifully, as always. As someone said below, you rock!! Have a great week! Angela
Great job Kirsty on all aspects of the window. What I like the most is the nice big size of it. Many windows in country stone houses are very small. I think that's cause most were once agricultural barns, not requiring much light.💗👍😊🇨🇦
I bet your mam and dad are delighted with your amazing work on the window. I can't wait fpr the work she'd to go ahead so you can clear that mezzanine with all that messy wood and have a pure Zen like environment you truly deserve well done
Wow Kirsty, your window hole looks amazing! Give yourself a huge pat on the back for knowing what you want, and sticking to it! The end result must bring you so much satisfaction! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
If plexiglass is hard to come by, how about wrapping the tarp or some clear plastic around the wooden window frame to keep the rain out? Plastic may be thinner than the tarp so might work better. I’m sure you will figure it out.
You really did a great job on that window. I know you said you were scared BUT you persevered and you did it. You are very capable and that is really nice to see. I am very proud of you. You can do so m7ch to your place and I look forward to seeing the transformation. Yes you take your time sometimes to long for me but you make progress eventually and see things through. Hey you gotta go at your own pace. If I had to work in that heat over there I get it. I live in South Carolina which is so hot May to now and I manage but it's like 90 and humid everyday here. I moved from upstate new york over two years ago, and i'm not one for the heat. But I got tired of six months of winter in new york. So I pay the price in either place, but you can spend more time outdoors in south carolina for sure! I hope he gets your window done soon.
Looking great. 😊👍. Dodgy gloves indeed. I was thinking that in a couple of shots…not sure what they are offering in terms of protection. Hoping your superglued shoes keep going for you. I thought I noticed on a previous video that one was flapping!😉. Enjoy your Friday cocktails with friends.

You should be so proud Kirsty it’s amazing❤
I am, thanks!
You bet it looks cool, Kirsty. It's beautiful. :)
Thanks!
You are one talented young lady.
😀
You go girl. Great job Kirsty. I watch a lot of reno vids and you’re up there with the best of the diy’s mate. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks so much, glad to hear that!
Window is looking awesome!
Thanks!
Well done. you are on a roll. Thinking of replacing the snail with a Hare by the looks of it at this speed.
Haha, I'm not sure about that but it's amazing how the upcoming rain and cold can be a motivator!
Honestly Kirsty it looks fantastic but I wouldn't expect any less from you and you wouldn't accept anything less. You are a perfectionist and will do everything to that standard.
The mortise and tenon looked great too lots of hard work but oh so worth it.
Look forward to when you get your new window in its going to make a huge difference for you 😊
You have good ideas for coping with perfectionism.
Thanks so much! Ya in this case I think patience has paid off along with really enjoying the challenge of it all. 😀
Well done you! Looking fabulous ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Congratulations on a job well done. The frame and surround look like it's always been there
Thanks! I'm very pleased with it!

Your whole window project is a "Smashing Success"! Looks so Awesome!
Thanks! I'm so happy with it!
Your stonework around the window looks professional! You really are growing with your skills!
Thanks! I love to keep learning as I go.

That window just gets better and better
Ya I think so too, thanks!
You are amazing. That window and the pointing really make the front of your house look like a house now. NO MORE BLUE TARP! You should be very proud!
Thanks! The blue tarp (or some tarp) might return for a short while but I’m hoping to have a window in by early November.
Kirsty.The frame Looks Beautiful but you are more Beautiful in and Out.Great Job Like always.♥️. Raquel.
Thanks so much!
you can be proud of yourself and I love to see you being amazed by your accomplishments. That smile on your face 😀. Hope the window guy watches your channel 😅
Thanks so much! Yes I'm quite happy with the results!
"Clamping my shoe together" wasn't on my October Bingo card of jobs I expected to see you do. You made me laugh out loud with that one.
I hope it works! I'm not sure the glue I bought is the best... 😁

Thanks! I'm very happy with it and will attempt to come up with a rain solution today. 🙂
You are doing a marvelous job keep up the great work 😊✌️
Thank you!
Well done! Looks amazing!
Thanks!!
Hi Kristi, great job. He might surprise you and come a little bit earlier than you expect. Hope that happens for you.❤
I hope so! I'll be ready! 😁
Wow, what beautiful stonework, Bravo, 👍👏👍😊❤
Thanks! I’m learning as I go! 😀
Another amazing video, thank you 😊
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Kirsty, so pleased, you have finally finished enough,
to order your window
The window frame looks Wonderful !!!!!!! Kirsty
I'm waiting on the quote now! 😀
You've done an excellent job on the window. It will be so good to have an actual window.
Thanks! Yep I hope the window doesn't take too long.
Your work on this window is truly inspiring. What a great example you are to women ❤
Ah that's nice, thanks so much!
Kirsty,
the pointing on top of the window
is
Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
🎉 Well done Kirsty

Your wall looks gorgeous I love the color of the pointing material it really makes your stones pop.
Thanks! Ya pointing is an easy way to make a huge difference in a short amount of time. 😁
Kirsty you have done a fantastic job of that window. It's looking like it could of been an original window opening from when it was first built. Well done you, you should be proud of yourself. 😊❤
Thanks! That’s a great compliment! 😀
I’m very impressed with your window. It’s going to look so good.
Thank you!
Stone by stone has made you a stonemason, lovely pointing.
Thanks so much, it’s been a fun challenge!
Brilliant work on the window framing. When the window itself is in and pointing of the remaining front of house is finished, it will truly look amazing.
Thanks so much! I’m excited with how things are going so far!
Tracy is TRUMPETING gorgeousness and your window ROCKS!!! (Puns intended😊)
Haha, thanks!
You should be very proud of your window box. It looks fantastic.
I am, thank you!
Proud of you sweetheart you’re a classy wee lassie.
Haha, thanks!
Window hole looks really amazing! Well done!
Thanks!
Fabulous project, your skills are definitely not 'dubious', great work, Kirsty 😊
Haha, thanks!
The window box looks great! The stones and pointing looks awesome too! Great job! 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
The window wall is looking great! Well done as it looks like it was there long before you owned your barn.
Thanks so much!
It looks amazing. The stone border frames it perfectly. What a huge undertaking. Well done!
Thank you! Ya it was a huge effort but so worth it!
Brilliant job, it looks amazing!
Thanks!
Awesome stonework above your window👏👏👏
Thanks!
❤ Go Kirsty Go!
Great job. So excited for your near completion of kitchen window.
What a lovely view you will have. 👏
Thank! Ya it’ll be great once I get that pesky scaffolding out of the way! 😀
So happy with your progress on the window. Great work. You are probably enjoying the light.
Me too, thanks so much!
Your skills are getting to a whole new level of crafts(wo)manship 💫 Your attention to details is top notch.
Thanks! I feel like my stone stuff is improving but by bit. It’s fun!
Wow! What a great job! It just makes me smile to see you happy with your work, especially all that work above the window. Just wow wow wow!😊
Thanks! I'm very pleased with myself on this one! 😀
Great attitude makes reliable results. Rocking it, Kirsty.
Thanks!
Absolutely fabulous job so far Kirsty… very impressive 😊
Thanks so much!
Looks like it’s always been there, great job! My dad was a brick and stone mason and he would have been very proud of your work!❤❤❤
Ooh that’s a great compliment, thanks!
Add a time capsule with story for future in wall.
That’s a great idea!
Wow - that looks like a genuine old stone window opening, like it was put in 100 years ago by someone who knew what they were doing (instead of having been put in just now by someone who knew what they were doing 🙂). Your little cottage/tiny home is going to be really lovely.
Haha thanks! I definitely did not know what I was doing but that makes it way more fun! 😀
Beautiful window 🇬🇧😊
Thanks!
Wow Kirsty.... Excellent job! 🎉
Thanks!
The rock work is looking great along with the pointing.
Thank you, I really enjoy that part.
👏👏👏 you handled this window project like a pro! Good for you Kirsty. It looks fabulous! So excited to see the window installed and to see you enjoying the window. Take care! ❤️😊
Thanks so much! Me too! Still waiting on a quote. 😁
It does look really cool. You should be pleased with yourself!! Thanks for having me over.
Thanks, I’m proud of this one! 😀
The window opening and the pointing looks gorgeous. The wood frame looks fab. Manuel will be impressed with your work.🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks very much! I think after I get the quote he’ll come to measure and I’m curious to see what he thinks. 😁
It looks soo good, well done Kirsty 🎉
Thanks!

@@PortugalfromScratch Big push to finish so you and kitties are cozy this winter. The window is perfectly crafted!

Or you can make shutters
To use to cover window and use for cuteness later
I’ll want shutters… I might get a quote or try to make them myself… let’s see!
Well done! Be proud of yourself!
I am, thanks! Still lots to do but so far, so good!
I love those Japanese saws
Me too, they're great!
If plexiglass is hard to come by, how about wrapping the tarp or some clear plastic around the wooden window frame to keep the rain out? Plastic may be thinner than the tarp so might work better. I’m sure you will figure it out.
Not sure, I’m heading to the shops now so will see what they have. 🙂
Well done, you have so much to be proud of!
Thank you!
Brilliant work Kirsty,it really looks beautiful. Well done
Thank you!
Well done you, it looks really nice, you should be proud of yourself. Look forward to seeing it finished
Thanks! Yes I definitely am proud of this one... so far!
Staple some heavy plastic to the wooden frame you made. May not let the view in but the light will come in, the rain and wind will stay out.
Ya I'll see what's affordable at the shops and come up with some plan. 🙂 I probably should have thought of this before!
You really did a great job on that window. I know you said you were scared BUT you persevered and you did it. You are very capable and that is really nice to see. I am very proud of you. You can do so m7ch to your place and I look forward to seeing the transformation. Yes you take your time sometimes to long for me but you make progress eventually and see things through. Hey you gotta go at your own pace. If I had to work in that heat over there I get it. I live in South Carolina which is so hot May to now and I manage but it's like 90 and humid everyday here. I moved from upstate new york over two years ago, and i'm not one for the heat. But I got tired of six months of winter in new york. So I pay the price in either place, but you can spend more time outdoors in south carolina for sure! I hope he gets your window done soon.
I definitely can't handle the humidity! It's brutal in Southern Ontario where I'm from.. At least here in Portugal it's mostly dry heat. 🙂
Absolutely beautiful job! ❤️🇨🇦
Thanks!
It looks amazing. Can't wait to see it finished. This is one of my favorite you have done.
Thanks! Ya I'm very excited to work not the inside and to get the window!
Looking great. 😊👍. Dodgy gloves indeed. I was thinking that in a couple of shots…not sure what they are offering in terms of protection. Hoping your superglued shoes keep going for you. I thought I noticed on a previous video that one was flapping!😉. Enjoy your Friday cocktails with friends.
Thanks! Ya those gloves are ridiculous but I like a certain type and the store isn't one I always go to... I'll need to make another trip soon. 🙂
BEAUTIFUL! Honestly, you are so talented, I’m surprised your not building that window yourself!
Thanks! Maybe if sinead and I ever make a workshop that’s a job I’d tackle!
Looking really beautiful, you truly are incredible - willing to have a go at anything that needs doing, and succeeding so well.
Thanks!
