    Loved your video, thank you. Like the lay-out of your property, its not too big to manage. Doggie looks more settled and relaxed in the chair (haha). You could tie a rope from one concrete post to another and tie the dog to that so it can walk up and down a bit (if still escaping!). Cheers from NZ

    This is very reminiscent of the channel, Make Do Grow, who have a property in central Portugal that they have been renovating for two or three years.
    The block was overgrown,
    The Outbuildings where dilapidated and falling down, with lots of building rubble and materials throughout.
    The House was superficially presentable, until they started renovating and discovered huge problems with damp and then rotted floor joists, lintels, etc.
    The buildings had a cement render over original stone structures.
    Their are fruit trees in abundance, and old vine trellises
    Good luck!

    • @michaelboalch
      @michaelboalch  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Peter, I have seen their videos. I think their property is older than ours, we don't have any timber joists or floor boards as they were replaced by the previous owner with concrete beams and blocks. It's not as attractive, but at least won't rot.

Ours was roaming the streets for months when she was six months old and luckily my relatives trapped her in the back yard and the rest is history. Love mine to death. Her name is Dixie.

    • @michaelboalch
      @michaelboalch  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The shorter, chunkier ones are granite posts. They held up metal bars that supported wires, on these grew grape vines. Most of the vines have been chopped down, but there are some that are still here
