Hello everyone and thank you for watching our video! I apologise for the shakiness of the camera work in this one! It was our first week back and we’re getting back into filming vlogging style! Have a lovely day! ❤
Beautiful stonework! Simon is a master stone mason.
Simon's work on the walls is just amazing. Like doing a 5000 piece jigsaw puzzle with no image where every piece is a different shape. The house is looking beautiful already, even without half the roof being on yet.
Nice to see your sister, it's been a while.
Simon and Omar make a good team. Now with you, Jay, and your mom, it's a family working in unison to accomplish the goal.
Good to see you all. Great progress.
Lovely stonework
The stone walls are looking great.🔨🔧⚙️🧰🛠💪👍⚒️
Coming along great, wow. How wonderful to have most of your family there, where does everyone sleep? Your mommy is going to have a cute room, thick walls to keep it cool or warm. Nice
Well i have to admit, im watching both. Well, yours was better. Ill watch yours again later. No i haven't been to bed yet. Up all day and will probably puke before its over with. All i can think of is Diana. Ok, no more comments here about that.
Y'all know i love all your videos! Tell Elf and Mum (right) we spell it and say Mom, i said hello! ❤xx
Nice walling
What a blessing to have the whole family coming together ❤️ in Portugal, you guys are so creative and hardworking the stone wall is coming up so beautiful. 😊
Tongue & groove 👍❤️
Al fin alguien que esta construyendo como debe ser, con suficiente fierro estructural en cadenas y pilares.
Hay mucho yuotubers en Portugal que no lo hacen y debo recordarles que Portugal tiene terremotos tambien
Terrific progress! Simon is a huge asset, kudos to you mixing the cement.
Simon's stonework is just beautiful
Wow, mums room is coming along really great. Hope everyone is adjusting after the big move including the fur babies.
Great to see your progress. You are all so resourceful. How wonderful that your mother will be able to live with you.
Thank you! We try to do as much as we can but at the moment we are at our limit and it's best if we habe people who knows what they are doing. I'm so thankful to have mum over.
Amazing to have such a wonderful stone mason for a brother-in-law! I'm glad your mama is with you.
You’re so blessed to have family close by.
Yes we are!
Emocionada viendo los avances de este proyecto. Esta quedando muy lindo. Gracias hijos por todo.
I love watching you're progress, well done so far and you're family is lovely ❤
How lovely to have ur sister and her family and your mother all together and your other sister and her family in the summer…and the build is coming along splendidly…I also find the wall build fascinating….can’t wait for the next video ❤
Thank you Laurie! So blessed to have family around! It makes all the difference
Tongue and groove would be beautiful, better than plaster board. A lot of progress is being made. Lovely to see your sister and your mom. Simon has done beautiful work on the stone walls and they are a work of art. Omar and Simon are a good team. Have a lovely day.
Unfortunately we checked today and it is 3 times more expensive so we may do some of it T&G but most plasterboard
Fun to see you working with Mum and your sister! The stonework is just beautiful 🤩 take care everyone, Laura ❤❤❤
What a beautiful spot you have! Another great vlog and good to see the progress. Does Simon use cement mortar?😊💜
All the rock work is beautiful ! Can't wait to see it finished 😊
Thank you Cynthia! Almost there!
The new stone wall is so perfectly straight what an amazing job!
It's wonderful when people sing or whistle while they work....❤❤❤
I just know that you're home is going to be so so beautiful when it's finished, all the attention to detail and the walls Simon is building are just stunning. Cant wait to come see you guys soon :) hope your mum is settling in, was lovely to see her with you and your sister :) xx
You find what's the range... cheapest to most expensive and go with what you can afford. Myself: white plasterboard is what I prefer visually.
Your home is coming along beautifully... well done and thanks for sharing 👍💯🤗
Admire your work..regards from Tokyo 😊
What a great video. Very good progress. Andrea, I was wondering where your mum is. There she was. Also your sister. I did not know that your sister has been living here for 12 years. This is so amazing, that all your family is here. Thank you for sharing. Love and Blessings to you all.
Doris, Penrith 🇦🇺🦘 ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
So excited to witness the finishing 🫢😅
Wait, its playing again. But the date says 15 April. Im so sleepy.
Maybe you should see about hiring some goats to assist Omar with the the strimming 🤣
I really want some sheep. Not only are they like dogs but they also will help with the grass. Plus their milk is so lovely!
@@TheIndigoEscape yes! Sheep are probably a bit less naughty than goats too. And you are not far from the home of one of my very favorite cheeses, a ewe's milk cheese called Queijo Serra da Estrela. Sheeps milk makes the best cheese.
A great effort everyone! Your goal of completing the addition for mum is indeed going to be a challenge, but with the wonderful helpers you have coming in, I know you can do it! 👍🏻👏🏻
Great progress on your extension and your mom's granny flat.
Everything looks great and amazing. Your builder does fantastic job on your home. Keep it. He is Miracle.😏♥️😄
The work is going beautifully! So nice to see Mum/Mom smiling 🙏! Tongue and Groove those walls. I would say leave it be, but, your going to want the insulation. The wood is really pretty! The hole in the wall, leave it for you cat's to escape or enter, LOL!! Yes, I would have burned the wood too. Make sure the wood is not treated foe veggie garden. Or maybe since it's burned to ash, it's burnt all the treatment off! Sarah and Luke call it black gold, lol! Are yall going to get chickens eventually? Their 💩 makes great fertilizer 😂😂😂! What is ELF's real name? I tried catching it twice. I'll just call her Elf. I've been doing it so long now, it's her endearing nickname. Does she still sale property? Just curious. The property on Terceira is ridiculous what they're asking for compared to what you can get on the Mainland. OK, I'll shut up now. It's nice to see y'all with proper work pants to protect yourself s. Do y'all have an Amazon Account? Let me know. Take care and GOD BLESS! 🙏🙏❤❤🇺🇸🇵🇹⛵🤗🤙👍🏋♂️
Another great video. If the wood you are burning is full of chemicals are you sure you want to use the ash on your veg patch? Really enjoying watching everything come together
Plus the nails?
yes, we checked later (Omar told me after I edited the video when he realised what I said) and told me that most doesn't have chemicals, just some and possible just the wood over the main door we took down which hasn't been burnt yet. So I'm sorry for saying that on the video. However, the ashes are most going to the compost bin instead of the garden as pure ashes isn't that great to be added directly onto the veggies.
Nails were picked up later
I'm surprised you dont have a cement mixer on such a property
I don’t think you watch the whole video 😄
Muchos avances!
Simon has impressive knowledge and building skills. Love the stone work. Your mums room is coming along nicely. Ring beam is great. Is your mums room going to be detached? Or is going to be part of the house eventually?
Lovely.
I love watching your videos an missed you when you took a break.
I don’t normally hand out advice, But …
I would like to see you get a proper grass cutting lawn mower. Strimming (we call it a whipper snipper in Australia 🙃) it very tine consuming and energy sapping . It’s obvious that Omar is not a fan of the job.
I know it’s more expense, but a lawn mower would go over your yard completely in a couple of hours and probably use the same amount of fuel as the trimmer (not very much).
The only thing you need to do is go over the land and pick up and stray stones.
I’m loving your progress,
Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺💕
No problem! Thank you for your comment! I think one of the best things about YT is people giving us advice, so it is always welcomed! 🥰
To be honest, we are looking at getting a small tractor this year because we need to rotavate some of the land as well. A lot of the grass is in big lumps, we also have so much spiky brambles, a tractor will just cruise through it and will take so much less time. The grass is already high! Haha
You get this chains attachments to a tractor and cuts the grass as well.
@@TheIndigoEscape brilliant.. I’ve seen the chain mowers on other channels doing a great job. And let’s face it, a little tractor could be so much more fun for both or you.. Even your mum could have a turn..
Cheers good people..🌸❤️🌸
Tongue and Groove! Right now the video has been buffering for about 3 minutes at this spot on my tablet and my phone. The connections good. It's not raining. It's just stuck. I backed one up a bit. Once it got to this spot....buffering. I don't want to forward it. (Don't want to miss anything and I want y'all to get credit for the views. I might push one up a little. See how it does then come behind and let it play again. Will let you know. 😊😮
Hi Andrea and Omar and mom....so much progress guys..your working so hard..the stone work looks great and and really taking shape...hope your mom is settling in as she looks happy...not sure if plaster board would be a good idea in the kitchen area...cladding maybe better...take care guys..😊❤ this is jim my grandson changed my name but will change it back shortly 😊
I would take out the nails before burning. You don’t want the nails in the ground where you might have future plantings
It' has all been removed after burning, they just were left on the ground
Good job❤
Chemicals in the wood? Is the ash safe to use for the garden, or would it contaminate the soil with lead, arsenic, and cadmium, causing your early deaths from cancer?
We checked afterwards and it wasn’t all chemicals. Mostly it’s just powdery but no r that many with chemicals. It’s going to be added onto the compost bin instead of the garden and hopefully it will be okay after a year.
@@TheIndigoEscape Excellent.
Hi and congratulations on what you have done so far. How long did it take to do the Ring beam. I ask because i am due to create a Ring beam shortly. Thanks
Hey Peter, with 2 people at least, we did it in 4-5 days. This includes the shuttering. This is also done by someone who has done it before so if it’s your first time, take your time as it takes a bit of time to set up the shuttering.
Keep up the good progress, your homestead will look brilliant when it’s finished. 👍🇬🇧🍷🇫🇷🧌
Pros like you have no difficulty planning and executing a complicated project like this one. Then I hear you say you aren't professionals and I'm like... "Eh?"
Cuidado com incêndios têm que limpar toda a área circundante é de lei
😊❤
your mom is originally from spain. i heard you speaking spanish to her earlier.
We are from Venezuela and yes we speak spanish :)
@@TheIndigoEscape wow! why didt you move to spain? you already speak the language and its similar terrain to portugal. i was going to move to barcelona after university but the universe had other plans for me. watching you from new york city.
Why don't you guys use a mortar mix instead of cement who is the rocks
I think you are referring to Hot Potty or lime mix as mortar is a general word for a binding component which may or not include portland cement. Sometimes people use a mixture of lime and cement which is generally what Portuguese builders use here and works. We have many friends with renovated ruins (going up 20 years) and they are in perfect state or you can just use lime mix, even with a bit of clay for a nice tint.
We are building a cladded wall which doesn't breath, specially if it's surrounded with cement, there is no way water will come through the wall. That's why you build French drains as well. Anything that requires moisture to evaporate through the walls will be pointed. In that room we have two walls like that.
When you have to build ring beams, or lintels then you need to add cement because you need your ring beam to get bonded onto something. You will find most proper stone ruin renovations are doing exactly that, building a ring beam to hold the new roof. If lime is used instead, it eventually gets powdery and will definitely jeoperdise the integrity of the wall.
Just want to add Simon has been in the trade, in Portugal for 12 years. We also have a local Portuguese civil engineer and a 35+ year of experience Portuguese architect involved. This is where we get our trusted information as we are building our home and are not into the " Fixing our mistake" videos because they come at a expense.
I thought we already answer this question to you 4 weeks ago?
@@TheIndigoEscape 👏👏👏
If the wood is full of chemicals, do you really want the ash in your veggie garden?
We then check later and just a few had been treated. It’s mostly just powdery and shouldn’t be use to be burn inside. It’s going to the compost bin instead of directly to the garden.
if the wood is full of chemicals you don't want to burn it and leave the ash for the vegetables... because guess who will eat the chemicals then ;-)
Yes for sure! We checked later and it doesn’t seem like most have chemicals so it may be okay but it’s going to the compost bin rather than straight to the garden.
