Making A Feature Out of Old Chimney Is Transforming The Village House Restoration #94
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- We are half way through the rendering on this old house and can’t wait to move on. The good thing is, it’s satisfying to see the results. Bit of effort always feels good.
Good opportunity to do a spot of welding too.

you have got to keep little Eddie, he's a diamond and he has chosen you
Those bugs are the larvae of the may bug …. I think, chickens love em’! House is coming along very nicely, just goes to show what that little extra time in the detail does.
It’s so therapeutic watching you do everything so perfectly!
Can’t wait for the life sized elephant sculpture. ‼️‼️🐘. The area outside the bus is looking nice with the bamboo etc. Electric welding in the rain - with lightening. Exciting show this evening. ‼️. 👍❤️💐
Whomever purchases that home will be very fortunate. It has already transformed into a jewel.
Excellent work on the fireplace. You may not be professionals but your work ethic makes you surpass most of them.
The chimney looks beautiful! I hope you can save your trees from the bugs
Andrew, for the welding if you were to turn the piece you are welding so it is flat it would make it a bit easier (while you are learning). Thanks for the videos
You need to install a rain water catchment system. Lots of water came through those gutters.
I see Eddie is still around, great little dog , looks very affectionate. Lots of storms in the Mediterranean already , so you will most probably get a lashing as well . Reno taking on another look outside, well done .
Lovely to see the chimney gets the same love and care as the wall gets, plus it turned out stunning. Good attention to detail Andy. 👍🏽😎
an elephant in the Algarve? Hell, why not: there's already a giraffe.... lol
Great work on the house, btw.
Great work 👏 The straw hat suits you, you look like Vincent Van Gogh!
I like those moments where things make you laugh or catch you off guard such as the thunder in this vlog. Chimney looks great even if it took two days to do. 🏴
Your whole family (edit: that means, including you) are incredibly talented. Be safe in thunder & lightning storms! Agree with other comments: Eddie isn’t going anywhere. 😍
That some satisfying work done with the rendering well done Andy James both as balanced team of one. Keep up good work.
The chimney is such a beautiful feature. The walls are looking good.
that chimney! beautiful. And your white shirt and hat are a perfect match
Hi Andy. Rendering looks a lot like sanding wood, have done years of it. Tedious and takes a long time. Great job on the chimney, a labour of love, a piece of history, beautiful, I bet they don't make them like that anymore. Great to see some rain and experience that. Thank you for the update, Love from New Zealand
Amazing job on the chimney! Loving your channel! Watching from USA
Eddie ha settled well with the family 👍
The house is looking brilliant...its a lot if work and takes patience but worth it...
Great work as ever. I love watching these episodes. Until I manage to move down to the Algarve myself, I'm living it through your channel instead. 👍
Just noticed you are over 2million views, nice one, keep up the great content
Thanks Jon 👍
You, Andrew, are in the very right place for you. Whatever you find, you can make other essential things out of it, wherever you go you ameliorate things around you.
After you have made such a treasure of the initial situation I feel sorry for the fact that you are going not to live in it. But, of course, your plans are not to be changed...
Rendering has proved pretty good!!!
Andy, on UA-cam there are videos on how to work the rod so there’s penetration and metal buildup from the rod. In the beginning you might want to weld the pieces in a flat position. Not up or down. It takes a lot of practice. And resting one arm against something stabilizes ether welding arm nd hand. Gotta have stability so you have control of the tip of the rod. Your welding arm floating in air is almost impossible to control the rod in those tiny movements needed.
Well Andy..you gave us a great Sunday vlog. Loved every section of it ,as usual .
The side of the chimmney facing the flat roof is just crying out for a big mossaic..a Crowing Rooster in all his glory 🐓🐓🐓❤
Wow Andrew, your attention to detail is very impressive, and that bamboo/mesh wind break makes an interesting back drop. Enjoyable video thanks 😊
Great job you all did with the roof terrance!
Hi Andy when u stick weld don’t weld straight move very slightly left and right so the weld layers and then when you grind it down you will get a better finish. And when you weld thick steel always angle the edges so the two edges go together they form a v. Hope this helps my father was a welder so I just learned on the job best regards Andy from Felixstowe uk.
👍thanks
Great job!!
You got yourself a cute Eddie! dog!! His legs might be short, but they are sure mighty!!Hahahahaha you look funny with two pair of glasses!!
Fantastic job Andy. Looks great👏🏻👏🏻
That lightning was just 200 meters away😱
The rendering looks so nice. Really enjoying your channel. I went back and watched the compliation video of your previous projects because I did think you were a bit mad when you first started this house! LOL! Very cool to see your other projects, you definitely have vision.
You guys are doing an amazing job. Great skills 👍
Hi Andy
Love your channel keep up the great work fair play to you brilliant you looking after the wee dog too gentleman first class love the algarve best of luck 🐾🐕🐾👍🐕🐕👍
Beautiful work! Envious of your patience. Love how chimney came out and great idea for umbrella stand. @ James beautiful TV table
You scared the hell out of me. Welding gives sparks and you were next to the bamboo screen.
And standing on a rug 😂
Nice to see the welder out again and you burning rods Andy
Nice job.
Thanks for posting and sharing. The chimney has coe out so well.
Andy you really nailt it with the shimney! Great work again. Just learned something new with the foam rubbing. Thks for that one. Happy days all
Nice job👍Hi from Egil. Norway.
Big hugs 💕 Xx
What patience Andy! Great job! It’s the little touches like this that makes the difference.
Hi Andy that’s a cracker and that made you jump,nice work on the roof and the chimney.😊
I had no idea what that was but thought it beautiful, great job saving it ❤
Just finished reading the news. DREARS! Then up pops Andy, wee Eddy and Will to brighten my day!
Love that you restored the chimney. It’s has a lot of character.
Very satisfying to render out a surface to a pro finish. Looks really good.
Very neat! I always look forward to your videos every week Andy. Have a good weekend.
What do the neighbours think of all your good work? They must be happy the village is looking better
Yes be good to have a neighbours point of view ? Can you add some footage about them?
They are very happy.
Andy that chimney looks great! The sped up video of you rendering has some beautiful clouds moving by ⛅️I am impressed with the amount of rain during that thunderstorm. Is your well filling up with the rain or is it deeper groundwater fed? Aww that is a happy pup snoozing on the couch.
That Chimney has a real Moorish element about it. - I know what you mean about that Thunderstorm directly above you. Wait until you narrowly miss being hit by a lightening strike! Don't expose youself during a Thunderstorm, especially with so much metal about! - Where are the Chickens? If they didn't all die of heat exhaustio, feed those grubs to them!
Another entertaining video Andy. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸
Smart work on the chimney.
Building a work of art!
Nice job on that chimney, Alex worth the attention. Looks pukka
genial andy||. Saludos desde sevilla
Hola 👍
Love the render Andy! You've all done such a great job! Decorative tile accent or stencil on chimney might be nice after painting the roof area? I'm sure the trees you planted would have loved all that rain! How are they holding up after the long dry summer?
Better than I was expecting 👍
LOOKING GOOD ! great work.
great hat
Chimney looks great and worth the effort. Will be a feature on the roof terrace. Wonder if you cld hang some light source in there? Might be tricky but cld feasibly pull something up from inside. Then a lantern at night events!
Hi Andy, respect for the hard work and your humor of course 😅. Question; where did you buy the MH-19? I have not found it yet here in the Eastern Algarve… Thank you & keep smiling 😊
Hi thanks, Fassa Bortolo. Anywhere that sells concrete blocks and bricks etc. 👍
nice job fella
it looks very nice.
So, your message from this week for next week is....🎶🎵
' Return to render'.
Enjoyable
Love the finish that you've achieved on the rendering - well done one and all. Do you get Woodpeckers out your way - they'd love those bugs !
We do
@@rusticcrow Excellent
Thanks Andrew for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you guys.
🙂
Tfs🍻🍻🍻
I don't think that dog is going anywhere, Andy.
5:00 The tall vertical edge of the wall at the landing, would rounded glass blocks add a nice finish like a bull nose and provide a light effect when the sun shines on it?
What kind of material do you use for the rendering? Looks amazing!
Mentioned in #93
Hi ,nice job love all your vids , bit of advice please , I'm back out at my project end of month , and I'm going to be having a go at some rendering,what render are you using? I have a new extension which is bare red clay blocks, can the render go straight on? Do I need a cement scratch coat first or maybe a grit render adhesive what's your advice cheers Paul
I mentioned in #93
👍 👍 👍
what brand of render do u use there

Are thunderstorms scarier in the countryside? I mean, you seemed properly scared!
I wasn’t scared. It was really close, loud and took me by surprise. The thunder storms here are epic and with a 360 view you feel surrounded.
Finally got you in a straw hat.
No more sunburn
Do you HAVE to paint the outside white?
no
@@rusticcrow Yay! That yellowish one across the street stands out with the only color around it seems, have you selected a color yet?
Andy. To help your hands and wrists get hand braces and wear them at night. Told this by a doctor. Most wrist and hand problems come from repetious work
Where is the Buletti link😐
Oops, going on.
You worried me how you welded with flammable stuff nearby.....my husband caught his beloved motorbike on fire when a spark set alight the cover he had over it....he was working 3/4 meters away but with his back to it so was unaware of the flames initially and it proved too late to save it.... he got burns to his hands and one foot trying to!
The chimney is now a “feature” instead of an eyesore.
2:15 Crikey! Those are almost big enough to eat!
(joking don't do that)
🐷👍
Andrew, we need to talk, it’s the wet season here in Cairns so perfect UA-cam watching time but nothing is happening, no updates, what’s going on, come on and more updates, plse..
#96 is uploading. I’ve had no internet so had to delay till now. 👍
Too bad you didn’t have chickens close at hand. They’d have made short work of those grubs!!
Is that a new tat, Andrew?
No 👍
You will love this handy hint !
