Hallway Renovation - PORTUGAL Single Woman Renovating A 100 Year House Old
I enter the hallway, if only it was small!! Vintage floor had to be removed and new floor put down.
The walls are in decent shape so only a lick of paint was needed to freshen up before the I decorate.
There are still lots more to be done
Here is the start of my crazy journey renovating a 100 year old house in the north of Portugal. I am a single woman taking on this renovation alone!
I do not have a huge amount of money so this will be a DIY project on a budget, join me on my journey.

    You are so stupid, It could have happened to anyone. But immediately you think it's because you're a woman, and we should feel so sorry for women. It's no wonder men don't want to have anything to do with women anymore, because you are so independent, and if something goes wrong it's the men's fault, even if there hasn't been a man within a 20 kilometer radius. Funny enough, there are women over 30 who cry about not being able to find a man, forgetting that they are the ones who have been the idiots since the teenage years. I would like to hear his side of the story. Besides that, you have pictures of him doing it?? Are you American? because it's usually only Americans, who throw this kind of thing on the web, without evidence.

      I’m 35 years old and was being polite and friendly with a 60-year-old Irish handyman (he's married, lives two doors down, and travels to Kenya every other year with his church group to volunteer in building schools for children). He seemed so nice and always reminded me of my late grandpa, whom I loved dearly. However, he mistook my warm and chatty demeanor as some sort of romantic invite. My 11-year-old daughter told me he was giving her strange, lingering looks that made her uncomfortable. I told my husband, and he banned the handyman from coming near our house. Sometimes I think of those Kenyan women and their daughters he came in contact with during his helping jobs...

    We've lived here a long time, and sadly this is absolutely par for the course here. Very very common. You've got zero chance of getting anywhere legally against a local. The lawyers will drag it out for years, rob you blind, and then the case will be dropped. It's not the same everywhere despite what other people are saying. It's common here, they get your trust, and then rob you or rip you off. That's Portugal in a nutshell. Be careful he doesn't poison your dogs either. that's very very common if you have a neighbour you've fallen out with.

    I'm a man so I hadn't be sexually harassed by builders (yet!), but everything else you can imagine happened to me. There's certainly a few good ones (never met them) but most of are the low of the lowest regarding professionalism, education and just being decent. And forget about the most simple deadline. As a rule, you need to keep the money on your side at all times - only pay them when the job is finish to your linking. Never accept a builder asking for money upfront for general materials (it's different if that's custom made stuff like windowns or whatever). And you learned the hard way a saying we have here: "Santos ao pé da porta não fazem milagres" - that's roughly "Saints next door don't perform miracles"". Good luck for everything. 🖖🏻
