    The rebuilt wall looks fantastic. You have moved a lot of stone and earth in 15 days.

    I would love to see pictures of the house before it became a ruin. Also if you're willing, I would love to see pictures of your grandparents and hear their story!

    Have you thought of Kuni Kuni pigs? They’re supposed to be very even tempered and they do not dig.

    Por favor, não seria possível legendar os seus vídeos em português? Afinal, entendo que apesar de ser uma língua comum, há muitos portugueses e brasileiros como eu que gostariam de entender a maioria as suas histórias as quais acho incríveis. Obrigado!

      Obrigado.
      Pode aceder ao tradutor universal que está no seu ecrã do UA-cam. Ao lado do quadradinho com cc dentro, está uma engrenagem, clique nela, depois clique em Auto-translate e selecione a linguagem para que quer as legendas traduzidas, neste caso o português.
      As legendas tem que ser em Inglês para que o UA-cam as possa traduzir.
      Mais uma vez obrigado por ver o meu vídeo

    Hello, can you please explain a little bit about the waterproofing?
    Most of the time when i see people on youtube restoring old stone houses the approach is "remove all concrete, use lime and even if water enters the walls, it will just evaporate". Now it looks to me like you did a pretty modern approach: Concrete, Bitumen and the black dimpled mat, correct?
    1. You didn't insulate the outside, is condensation in winter not a problem in Portugal?
    2. From what i understand old stonehouses have a problem with water rising from the ground up the wall, will you be adressing that? With frenchdrains on the outside when backfilling, or adding ventilation in the floor when pooring the new slab? Maybe even other modern approaches like injecting a waterproofing solution into the walls?
    Thanks for the video!

    I semi-witnessed a slaughther of the pig only once. It was horrible!😮The shrieks of the poor animal stayed with me to this day, and mother had to get me away because I wouldn't stop crying. Unfortunately, this traumatic😢 event wasn't enough to put me off meat.

    Just wondering if you plant the the Oak trees in this position, wil it obscure your views of the mountains ⛰

      They are off to one side, they’ll only hide the neighbour’s place from view
