- This window hole on my off grid barn conversion in Central Portugal is a project that's haunted my dreams for years now... but I feel like I've finally conquered my fears and managed to get it done! Well, mostly done... the hard parts are finished and I couldn't be happier!
Sinead makes an appearance to help me with some work and then I help her attempt to save the life of a neglected tree...it's a fun video and I hope you like it!
Thanks for watching!

I'm Kirsty and I'm novice builder attempting an off grid stone barn renovation here in Central Portugal. I love going slowly, learning along the way, and trying new things as I attempt to build a beautiful tiny house using natural materials.

Kirsty! You window looks amazinging. It's just like the stonework in the village. It's truly beautiful. AND... the view is wonderful. You are going so well. All that very hard work is paying off.
id over winter the avocado in the polly..next watering should be when the pot is nice and light but not bone dry.that wont need watering for a month at least..remember over watering makes plants sick and dormant and they wont search for roots.
Yay! Sooo close to having a window! I’m excited for you!!! Have a great week, Laura ❤❤❤
Looks amazing, great work Kirsty!
Fantastic work, looks beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Great job!
It looks great and nice .hopefully the windowman come soon. Gunda
Fantastic job ! A perfect cottage window. In the spring you can build a window box !
You are getting very good with the grinder. I have only used my grinder for cutting tiles. Good idea for fitting the top piece. The window hole looks great.
Kirsty you truly are amazing!! I believe you saved thousands of dollars by doing the job yourself. I don’t think any professional would have done as good job as you since you are a perfectionist!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Congratulations 🎈🎉🍾 It’s looking amazing!!
That stone work looks fab. What type of lime are you using on the pointing? Here the windows all open inwards with shutter doors on the inside, partly because we have security reja's on the outside, but it also means there's plenty of space for the insect netting. We have set our windows halfway in the wall as the originals were, that gives a sill inside and out, handy for plants
I have thoroughly enjoyed every minuet of your incredible hard work creating a very beautiful window. You are a credit to yourself for your perseverance and hard graft. Superb
Window is beautiful! Can't wait for it to be finished! Your home will be warm and light this winter. About the avocado. It looks like a fungal issue, that has possibly pests moved in taking advantage of a stressed plant. I would spray the avocado with insecticidal soap and fungicide. I would also raise the pot off the ground so it can drain really well. I recently have taken on the rehabilitation of a family members lime tree. It was looking similar. I sprayed the fungicide and insecticidal soap once then again in ten days. I also repotted and raised it up off the ground to the drainage is over ample. Six weeks later and it is looking great. I have hope for success!
I must say it's looking really good. Nice and slow and cautionary. This is going to be a beautiful feature if the home.
More light is deffinately needed.
Das ist ja herrlich schön geworden das ist Super ein Tolles Fenster
You have done an amazing job on the window. Well done. It must be lovely having more light and air in your home now. What an achievement. After all that time you have been waiting to do it what a talent you have to conquer what you were worried to do. 👏👏🌟🌟
awesome window..love the wide sill
Yay!🎉 Portugal from Scratch! Just started watching - exciting!
That window opening is looking Amazing, great job on all that stone work.
Kristy I just have to tell you how much I love your new logo. It’s one of the cutest I’ve seen.
Sooo glad to have u back
I'm here! I should have a bonus video out tomorrow or Sunday, too!
awesome job!
Hi Kirsty🎉
primeiro
😀
Looks wonderful!!!!
Wow it already looks like a window 👍Success is going to be very happy from now on 🌱🥑🌱🌝
Woah! Kirsty! Ab.So.Lu.Tely Amazeballs!!!! Kudos to you for sticking it through! Although, I guess that once the hole's there you have to do something. 😅 The front of your cottage is looking wonderful. Once things are finished it's going to look beautiful, comfortable and homey. Very well done. You sound wonderful, confident and soooo coool. BTW, I wonder if Canada has those wee horses? What a handy form of manure. I have a past life of handling a little regular horse-sized doo and it was far less attractive. You always do a beautiful job with whatever you touch. (The knobs were brilliant.) Have a great week and bask in the glory! Angela
Beautiful window. I'd prune the top bits off the avocado. Maybe polytunnel over winter.
Kirsty, your new window frame, looks beautiful, and an outstanding, achievement by you, the special extra design work on the top stone works perfectly, brilliantly well, to secure the frame.
Lady Advocado plant will flourish, with all the special love mixes she has been given and the perfect, site location to live, during the winter season near your stonhouse, to protect her, will give her every opportunity
to grow and flourish.
“Pooped out by little miniature horses” 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant!
Great video 👍🏻
Hey Kirsty your window looks fantastic! Well done!! Keep it up we'll be watching from Scotland 👍👍
The nightmares should stop now! Really well done, and the notches worked a charm. Windows before winter? Hope they can make them quickly for you. It's quite inspiring the things you take on. Even just being there and starting your whole journey was brave to my mind. 🎉
Good job, well done. Those "nubs" worked great!! I guess dreaming about work morphs into real life solutions in this case. I really enjoy watching you problem solving and implementing. Thanks for having me over.❤
Omg! Kirsty! It looks so good!! I’m sure it has been and will continue to be a confidence booster for the skills that you currently have and will explore in the future. BRAVA!
Hi Kirsty. The window is looking so good! It seems like such a beautiful big window sill that you could put stuff no if the window opened outward instead of inward. Just tossing it out there. I know it will be perfect however you install the window 😊👍
Beautiful!!! Clever stonework with the "key" on each side 👍 How long does a battery last when you're stone-grinding? We have a Makita grinder, but it is corded -- it would be convenient to have a battery powered one, though.
Avacados are semi-deciduous and your has Black Streak. It may not have gotten enough water. If it does not have cankers it should be okay but will need some TLC. The stone surround on the window is looking fabulous. You really should be proud of yourself in making the window where there was none. What an improvement for the Tiny Barn House conversion!
Mini celebration time. Time out to relax the body and mind. I always found the garden a great place to regenerate. Well done, Kirsty.
I'm glad you will help lifting the top stone! I love how Larry looked for someone to blame when you said to him, "was it you?"
The window looks amazing! Beautiful job! I love the wide sill. Lots of room for stuff to sit on, but I'll bet the kitties will love lounging there. 🙂👍👍🇨🇦
Master pointer at work!!! You do such a good job of pointing.
A ton of work nobody will notice in the end, but it looks really great. You might know the live of living channel, they have build shutters and windowsills, maybe there is some inspiration for you.
Regarding work safety:
I do not think that your glasses are delivering appropriate eye protection when grinding stones, so you might consider getting ones that are closed at the edges. More importantly a plastic garden chair is no ladder especially when handling heavy stones. So it was great to see you replacing that by the scaffolding.
Wow Kirsty it really does look wonderful, the stones are perfect and the notches were an inspired idea well done. Really hope the window man can get you sorted quickly 😊
You are very inspiring to people you overcome the things that make you nervous and you do it so well. The router and the window.
Sending good vibes too success that she will survive and flourish.
Take care and enjoy some non stone work for a bit you have well and truly earned it 😁🤗
Looks so cool🎉🎉🎉
To fill up the middle up top, maybe put another piece of wood like the inside.
Here in the old houses you see that often.
Your window is opening is wonderful. Your idea about shutters will transform your barn into a cottage! How super that will be. Also, your stone work to get the top piece in place was very creative. Well done!
The window looks very nice, congrats. 🌟🥂👏👍🍀💐
'Awesome' is thrown around a lot now, and means nothing. Your window is truly awesome, in the real old style meaning of the word. Thanks for sharing. :)
Window is looking fabulous. It compliments the little house so well.
Mikey and Larry are going to love this window in the winter. Looks like a big enough ledge for them.
You're bloomin' marvellous! The window looks so good.
Well done! It looks truly amazing
I think everything you do, you do very well!
Your window looks great and the piinting, too!
Thank you. Loving the window 🪟
