A great video this week! Brilliant team work, that is the way to get things done. You might find it easier if you make your top mix a touch wetter, but I can't argue with your results!! Well done. Brian & Diane 😀
I can see that you two make a terrific building team. It's obviously great practice working on out buildings, ahead of plastering or rendering your main living space. My rendering tip would be to make sure you soak the old clay brickwork well first, before smearing on any mortar or render. Otherwise, in your Portugal climate, the render will dry too fast, with the dry brickwork sucking all the moisture out of your mix. Was this room used as animal stables before? Just watch out if you seal it off for a storage space, you'll need some ventilation, with at least one opening window or large vent, on the opposite side from the door - which ideally you should also leave open. I'm guessing the floor will have no damp proof course. Can't wait to see where you go with this. I'd love to have an old building to renovate like this.
Is there a water ingress in the top left corner, appears a different colour on the ceiling render. You possibly could pick up a cheap window in a demolition yard to box in rather than perspex. Looking much improved already.
Jen you are an artist, excellent job!🥰
Thank you! Cheers!

Me again, I didn't realize you already had the perspex, makes sense to use it.
@@Iwantalemon Well, you can always speed it up just like a video lol
Anyway, you're very good at that! 👍
