#41 - Pointing the Old Stone Walls & Adding Antiques to Our Shed
The hot weather brings some cooler jobs for Michael, which include setting up the outdoor shed (Becci's office) with some of our favourite antiques and making a start on the external pointing. We've found a ready-made mix so give that a try and the results seem quite promising! What do you think of the colour?
At the end of the week, we also get our new joist delivery, meaning we can get stuck back into rebuilding the house next week!
About Us 🏚️👫🏼🐈🐕🐕
We're Michael & Becci (the humans) and Tilly (sassy English tortoiseshell cat), Alfie and Anoushka (Portuguese rescue dogs). After four years in Portugal and numerous dreams about renovating our own property, we've taken the plunge and are renovating a schist stone house and its outbuildings in Figueiró dos Vinhos. We're doing most of the work ourselves (or... Michael is!) and we'll be stepping back in time to create a character property with as many original features and antiques as possible.
Join us for the journey and don't forget to like, subscribe and comment! We love hearing from you 💛

We're about to head off on a much-needed break with Becci's family, which means Michael's in full tidying mode! As well as working to the up-coming land-clearing deadline, he's tidying up all of the wood we've salvaged from the house so far. We're keen to use as much of this wood as possible, so we need to store it until we can re-use/re-purpose it. You'll also find him cleaning up an old stone...

    Love the new office space - got to love a fabulous bit of old wood. Also loved the ingenious use of an old fork to hang up the strimmer! And the pointing looks great! "BioEcological" just means they can charge more lol. The colour looks nice, but the problem you might have is if you decide to go the cheaper "mix your own" route then the colour of the sand is going to make a difference. The colour can change between loads etc. You might have to do one side at a time haha Loved the drone shots of your strimming - its all looking great - keep up the excellent work :)

    I'm loving the color of mortar you are using! Not that horrible glaring white stuff I always see used when repointing an ancient stone wall. To me, it screams look at me, I have been fixed! Destroys the whole mood. Too expensive? Just use it on the most visible parts of the house and go the sand-lime bit with a little bit of dye added. saw a guy that needed to repoint his fireplace so added pigment to match the granite. Why couldn't you do the same?

    • @PortugalonaPostcard
      @PortugalonaPostcard 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks so much! I totally agree! Much prefer something that blends in so the stone is the most prominent feature 😊 we'll definitely try and replicate this colour even if we have to use our own mix.

    Wondering if u can place the camera in a different position so you don’t get the white out from the sun when faced towards the sun in some shots? It’s probs tricky as the camera might get hot if standing too long in the sunny position looking away from the sun. Fine line to walk I’m sure.

    First of all... that opening drone shot of the houses and sheds WOW!!!!!! Id never have thought old glass and other "junk" left behind could look interesting but between that old timber and the presentation of it all it looks great. Now Michael be honest here cos you're a bloke, how much input did Becci have on that? 🤣 Ribbing aside, it looks fantastic well done the both of you. Being a music lover and someone who uses it both to relax and as a way of not noticing mundane or (soul destroying) tasks (Im a keyboard monkey for my city council) I would have earphones on listen to music doing that pointing 🤣 Another wonderful video this week folks, thank you and stay safe

      Ah, thanks so much!! Haha, I have to say, I (Becci), had zero input! I leave Michael and his OCD to it 😅 he's better at that stuff than me! When I get stuck in with the pointing, I'll definitely have my earphones in as well! I love a good crime podcast! I don't know how he doesn't have music sometimes 🤷🏼‍♀️ Thanks again and have a good weekend 💛

    Top Class.. been waiting for this so long .. Wow Michael the pointing looks great 👍like the finish .. all I could say is just ensure the wall is well hydrated before mortar goes in , slow cure wins the race 😊 & wet hessian sacks if sun exposed. I used to soak the wall a day before, it’s surprising how much the present old mortar can dehydrate your new mix 👍. Can’t wait to see how it looks once an area is complete 😉. I’ve spent many many years repointing & after retiring nothing I’d love more is to sit on the scaffold doing a hour or two, cup a tea & chit chat .. next thing you know a day has past in no time . 😊 Enjoy your weekend

    Hi Becci I know this is a bit late for your winter months but I live on a property which gets very cold because I have a national forest on one side of the property and a lake at the front of the cottage. Glass windows and doors suck out the heat which makes the house hard to keep warm. I have block out curtains up at my windows and doors. In the winter months. you will find Becci you won’t lose all your heat through your windows and doors Hope this helps you and keeps you warm

    Nice you saved the special stone. Where do you live right now? You show us the empty rooms and the garden but not the area where you cook etc.

      Thanks so much 😊 we'll have to do a bit of update on the cabin! It's right next to the outbuildings we've been clearing out.
