- As wet weather drives Michael back inside, he gets to work removing yet more render from the internal walls and figuring out how the walls and floors are constructed. He does get to venture outside to the front of the house again, revealing a beautiful small stone window in the process!

Hey guys, I’m starting to see the real potential as the layers are being peeled off. All this hard work is going to pay off because eventually this will be a spectacular comfy home . Best wishes always, Moody 😎
Thanks so much, Moody 😊 it's changing every day! Have a great weekend.
I think building a thicker wall under the windows is a good idea maybe a window seat !😊
I LOVE this idea 😍 thank you!
I really like this show especially as you have a place to live in on site takes the pressure off and allows time to do the job properly this place is going to look great keep up the good work!
That's really lovely to hear. Thank you!! 😊
Jeez you're hands must be hurting like hell! It's really looking great 😃
I don't know how he does it 😅 thanks so much 😊
Bravissimo 💪💪
Grazie mille 😊
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys good work guys 👍😁💪👌.
Thanks so much 💛💛 have a lovely weekend!!! 😘
The stone walls you worked on earlier look as if they are drying out. Good to take time off and live instead of constant work.
They definitely are! Thanks so much 😊
Coming on lovely! So much hard work paying off
Thank you so much 😊
It's great to see the progress your making and thanks for all the great videos, we never miss a single one. You must be so looking forward to pointing those walls, I pointed the garage once and that was brickwork, somehow I have never got around to doing anymore. Stay positive guys it's going to be a great house when it's done.
Thanks so much 😊 that really means a lot!! Can't wait to point them and see how it changes things. Thanks again!
The good thing is that you're seeing the damp up close in the rain. It gives you a better idea of what you're up against.👍
Definitely 😊
Awesome job. 💯💯💯💯💯
Thanks so much 😊
Wow, so much progress!
Thank you! 😊
Love the view of your property from the back as well, don't get to see it often.👍
Thank you 😍 hoping to get a drone soon 🤞🏼
Seeing how thick the downstairs walls are, I'm surprised at how thin it is under the windows. I would have thought that it would be as thick as the rest of the upstairs, with nice deep windowsills.👍
Yeah! It is strange but very common!! But I think we'll build them out 1) better insulation and 2) nice features! 😊
I love it how tidy you are!!
😅 thank you!!
you really are bringing back the beauty and chacaracter well done❤
Thanks so much 😍 it's amazing to see it coming back to life 💛
🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️😊🇧🇪
💛😊💛
Another epic amount achieved.👍
Thank you 💪🏼
Unfortunately the stone pedreiros used cement wood everywhere from 60’s onwards they did not know about the necessity for the buildings to breathe and the housed became very humid and cold.
It's all a learning process 😊 I often joke someone will come along and add render to it again in years to come! 😅
Surely you've been through a cramping period, when you started all the chisel work? It makes me think of the first few weeks of having to milk two cows twice a day as a teenager. I used to dread it a before long it was over.😂👍
I don't think he has! I (Becci) completely seized up after a couple of hours at it!! 😅
Great progress!
Thank you!! 😊
Uma solução para as janelas seria demolir a parte inferior e instalar uma "janela de sacada". Se reparar, são um tipo de janela muito comum no andar superior das casas portuguesas antigas. Ficariam com mais luz no innterior. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho!😀😍
Boa ideia! Muito obrigada ❤️
Are your feet feeling the ladder? It used to get to me after a while.👍
Not a fan of heights! 😅
Did you noticed there was hardly any dust while you were working on the walls?
Not much at all... Very damp!
In winter all outside facing stone walls will become damp. Humidity will travel from outside walls surfaces to inside. It is difficult for space heating to fight the dampness of the walls. Good luck.
Thank you 😊 this is something we need to think about (a lot!)
@@PortugalonaPostcard You need to choose the inside wall looks or the comfort. love your videos. Cheers
@@adobo6905 thank you 😊
We've got the same problems with some rotten floor boards in our renovation. Have you found anywhere to source reclaimed boards or are you intending to replace with new timber?
We'll definitely try to use reclaimed but haven't found a source yet... I keep my eyes peeled on OLX! We are just getting a quote for new floor joists too. Whereabouts are you?
@@PortugalonaPostcard we’re in Vila Nova by Alvorge. Apparently there’s timber merchants nr Avelar but not been there yet
Safety glasses, PLEASE!!!!
👋🏼😊
