- What a week...! From twisted joists that we're not sure we can use to dramatic thunderstorms, it's all going on at Casa das Parreirinhas this week! Thankfully, it gives Michael time to catch up on a few overdue projects like finishing off the render on the front of the house.
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 💛

Looking lovely well done
Thanks so much 💛
You're doing a great job! Congratulation! I only hope you're going to use lime mortar to redo the joints. Without cement. Good luck!
Thanks so much! No cement here 😁
You deserve a metal for all your hard work, unbelievable! Love the ending smile shot!!!
Oh thanks so much 😅
I wonder how the expression "and Bob's your uncle" came about? Love your version of it, planning and working towards making it a case in point. You work hard and it can't be easy doing so much on your own, but determination carries a lot of weight. There's a lot of hard heavy work I was unable to help with too. Leverage rather than brute strength is often the answer I noticed. Clever. Best wishes to you both.
😅 haha, yes, it'd been interesting to know! I'm sure it'll have confused a few people who aren't familiar with it too! 🤣
Thank you so much 💛
Incroyable le travail accompli , depuis que je vous , bravo à vous , une mamie de Bretagne😍
Thank you so much 😍
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, good work 👍😁💪👌.
Thank you 💛💛💛
Hope you two have a cool off place where you can take a dip.
The hot season is hot in Portugal so pacing yourself is a must from now till the end of the summer.
You've made incredible progress over the year, time to enjoy yourself a bit in the summer.
Yard and land are looking beautiful.
♥️🇨🇦
Thank you so much 💛 we do! We're near a river with areas you can swim in and we also have some lovely friends who invite us round for a dip! Thanks again 😊
Almost finished the floor beams, the front of house is looking picturesque.
If you put cardboard down underneath the wood chips it will keep the weeds down for up to 2 years.😊
Thank you so much 💛 oh amazing! I'll dig some out. Thank you 😊
You and I have something in common, we love bananas. Always eat while working.
Haha 😅 the best fuel!
Maybe you should try and burn the sides of the joists that fit in the outer wall to prevent them from decaying.
Thank you 😊 We will definitely treat them. We want to leave them exposed so need to work out the best way.
Thanks
Thank you SO much 💛
Hello,
Just so you know I was brought up to believe that it is against the grain to trim trees, including wine-stocks, after February. Trimming should be just before the tree goes into the blossoming mode. But it looks good. 🎉
Eeek. Thank you. Hopefully they will be ok... They were just growing wild and under the roof tiles in places! 😅
Great progress.... would you consider building a staircase from the lower level up into the upper level?
Thanks so much. We will be putting something in. We're thinking of maybe having a spiral staircase! 😊
Que excelente trabalho que tem feito mas muito cansativo. Gostei de ver essa tempestade cheio de trovoes deve ser assustador. Eu acho que o meu amigo depois podia lavar as paredes com jato fica impecavel.
Muito obrigado meu caro amigo pelo seu vidio desejo-lhe a si e à Becci um bom fim de semana
God bless you 🙏🏼🩷🩵🇬🇧🇬🇧
Muito, muito obrigada - sempre! Você é sempre tão gentil meu amigo, isso significa muito para nós. Bom fim de semana 🙏🏻💛🇵🇹
@@PortugalonaPostcard Se vc homem, tem que falar "obrigado". Nao "obrigada"! 😂
Secure ya noggin in one end then use a sash clamp to pull the twist out and pull the joist up flush and square, then keep on repeating 🤔🫡😎
Thanks so much 😊 we've been having a rethink with them so I shall pass this helpful tip onto Michael! 💛
Nice storm shots you got.
Thanks so much 😊
What was the fire in the right bottom corner your fire place 😁
Fair play to you, but I’m buggered if I’d wire brush that lot off, way too much work. Did you think about having it sandblasted?
😅 unfortunately, there are quite a lot of small stones and looser bits of stone so we're worried about damage. Plus, there's something quite satisfying about going back to basics 😊 thanks so much for watching!
Won't noggins straighten the joists out as well as strengthening the floor?
👍🏻 we've been thinking about how we can use the joists we have so noggins and a plane could be the answer 😊 thank you!

Thank you 😊
Why don’t you get an electric wire brush. It would be fastet
We have one on a drill but it didn't work as well as we thought 😔
What kind of vines are those?
Sets back are steps on the way.
I sent u some coffee money 🎉
Thank you so much 🙏🏻 it means a lot to us!
Too much talking. I'm unsubscribing. Sorry
Agree
❤
