Never ever pay a builder in full in any country ever..they do a fly by night and run with the money.. I'm so sorry these ass holes did this..what a bunch of jerks
I do hope that there is also a possibility in Portugal to put an official complaint away somewhere, so that these disaster builders🤬😡 , but also can never drag away a eurocent somewhere, and that a claim for damage caused can be made. After viewing the images, I checked my balance again, and made an additional deposit. Good luck guys, and girls of course.
only 56% raised so far , I watch both channels and have donated what I can but they need a little bit more , at least to get the roof on and the house dried out , paint , sewer pipes and such to make it livable again. Let's help them reach the goal so Baby Valentina has a dry place to live
16:08 Do not bother trying to reinforce that, it will be easier to take it down and rebuild it. She’ll never sell the house if she leaves it like that.
I take offense to your character assasination of "Portuguese builders". Granted, the ones that were chosen are amateur butchers, however, don't lump them into a stew of "Portuguese builders" First mistake was yours by paying these clowns up front. Second mistake occured when you witnessed their less than professional methods. Your third mistake was allowing them to continue. You need a good lawyer.
I posted this when I was half way through your video because you pissed me off with the "Portuguese builders" comment. And then, I went back to your video only to learn that you want this builder back to finish up. You're kidding... right? I wouldn't let those butchers back on my property.. Would you let them come to your village to do any work?
Also winter in Portugal is not the ideal time for roof replacement. These people come across as a bit impulsive and not very organized both the shoe makers and the home owner.
Sad, sad situation, and it seems everyone involved is to blame, whoever picked the “builder”, without investigating his credentials, whoever witnessed the chaotic start of the work and didn’t stop it, whoever paid upfront, whoever wanted the same “builder” to remedy the damages. I feel sorry for this poor lady for her choices but I’m willing to contribute.
@@CarlosRodrigues-xz2bsThat roof won’t survive a storm, part of it is taped together. Wind uplift load is tremendous force. If storm force winds get under that roof it’s coming off, partial or whole. The anchors shown near the apex on the new blocks, the cement will freeze; contract and expand in warmer weather, possible the cement could detach itself from the block, again a storm will lift your roof. The builders are not stupid, they have set a trap. How that father can look his daughter in the eyes he must have known.
In my opinion she should get the full refund from the builders plus the compensation, then leave the roof as it is until May or June in the dry weather and redo it again from scratch the proper way. I know it's a nightmare but life is never easy
By law in the us they would be, I don’t know what kind of crap Portugal is doling to people, showing up when they want too, don’t they have set working hours in stores I couldn’t live there
@@sharonmenzel7791 I guess she could claim back her money plus the compensation if she takes them to court in Portugal, but again it could take time plus the cost of hiring a good solicitor.
The roof needs to be fixed as soon as possibe. They need to use dryers (not only heaters) to get the moist out of it. If they do nothing till May the mold will take over.
Timing is everything and obviously winter in Portugal was not the ideal time. Do the work in the summer and higher real contractors. The extra cost is worth it.
Just an idea but could you not prop the main roof supports and take down the wall from the inside and move it off the ledge.. and rebuild above the supporting wall, and try and make good of the roof sheets.. good luck guys..
12:50 they threw the water tank in the ceiling onto the rubbish pile. You have a video of that happening. 13:43,says it all! 😮 14:26, seriously?!! 16:57, unf*%king believable! Sorry this has happened. Such a tragedy. With the basement can you draw the cold air through it and pumped into the house above?
Finding good tradesmen in Central Portugal is a nightmare as if they are good they are very, very, very busy. We ended up getting a team from over an hour away and waited 6 to 8 months for nearly everyone that worked on skilled jobs, and it was worth it. It was a warning that it was all in for a set fee and the care (or lack of it) that was taken when removing the roof should have been a big red flag. We know it is easy to have hindsight but please don't pay up front again. It would be nice to see you both so do pop over for a meal next time you are around.
I was wondering about inspections and permits in Portugal. In the U.S. it would have never gotten passed the inspector. Never pay up front to contractors. Pay as work is completed with a possibility of a deposit. Also make sure your contractor is bonded or insured, this separates the professionals from fly by nights. There also should have been designs that are approved and certified. Might be time file a lawsuit. Good luck
My god it looks like they decided to eyeball everything, not a measurement made. And drunk while they're at it! How terrible they could do this to a young family. Behavior like animals the way they treated that property. Praying that this new builder keeps his word on schedule 🙏.
That roof job is a disaster. My dad would call that construction crew a bunch of 'shoemakers'... No offense to any real shoemakers. Hope the next crew gets it done properly. In the meantime, try to get a large enough tarp to cover the entire roof until work starts again.
This whole video pissed me off !! how can these scumbags thought that this craftmanship was acceptable ? you don't gotta be an expert to see that there's so much wrong here, Korina is very sweet and calm..if it was me I would be ranting venting and about to kick some azzes.... unbelievable !!. and complaining that company would be a waste of time because we all know everything in Portugal moves so slooooooooow.
What a damn shame!!! For crying out loud she's Portuguese and lives near a city and she couldn't find any roofers who knew what they were doing???? %&*#$$$$
The gables are Not standing in the same hight, because on side their is the floor of the attic between and on the other side the gables Blicks are ständig direkt on the old wall( crashside0... and it seems that the gables had switched short and long side... Autschn! 😅😢😮
Dear Jasper and Carina, I am so sorry that this happened to you but you need to be extremely careful with your wording and comments. Portuguese defamation laws are extremely punitive. I am certain that you have already left yourself wide open to a lawsuit with just the title of this video. Speak with Carina, speak with your lawyer and maybe take this down until you do. Please don’t do your normal response of machismo. I am serious, this could potentially cost you as much as a house in Garridas. Sending you much love and best wishes.
@@jamesesonia your dealing with Mr chaos, don’t try and advise him, just send money for the lady and her kid, this fiasco may not be her worse decision.

I can volunteer to help with the house. I arrived in Portugal from Norway last night in my bus. Ready to pitch in. 🙂
Bravo!!! 👏🙌👏

Yeah there are a lot more builders here in Portugal that you cannot count on at all 🧐 in compare to where I’m from

@@schuhschrank947 Very complicated
That could easily blow off the house.. I don't see any anchors
Holy Sh*t, I am sorry for the ladie and the Baby, hope it turn out well, just Spended on the crowdfounding Page, all the Best for you guys

Since you paid upfront you can involve the police, it’s theft
What a mess! You need dryers (not only heaters) in this house to save it from mold.
What a shame too that the destroyed those tiles instead of carefully removing them and selling them to some one who might be able to reuse them.
What a mess, sorry for your girlfriend,
The roof need to be redone from scratch ..the supporting wall need to be redone..
What a cowboys job....
Just an idea but could you not prop the main roof supports and take down the wall from the inside and move it off the ledge.. and rebuild above the supporting wall, and try and make good of the roof sheets.. good luck guys..
Come on lets get them to there gole and donate what you can. But only if you can x
I can give you£10.pounds 😊
It’s done hope. It helps 😊

13:24 they’ve made the window that small so they don’t have to put a lintel above it.
Know the story but had to watch again 😢 ❤ hopefully we get a great outcome

OMG! You’re screwed. It’s all got to come off and be redone.
I wouldn’t have them back on my job.
My god it looks like they decided to eyeball everything, not a measurement made. And drunk while they're at it! How terrible they could do this to a young family. Behavior like animals the way they treated that property. Praying that this new builder keeps his word on schedule 🙏.
Personally I would take it all down start again.
Omg how sad. I'm so sorry for you all. 😢
finally back on the main! 🙂
Don't forget to get a good contract just in case if you get another bad builder, so you can get some refund.
Start from New. Redo everething. No more ridges. Is the top in the middel? Overhang on all sides off the roof. Goed Luck.
This is just so sad, did the present as certified roofers? I cannot imagine what your girlfriend is going through, I hope you get proper help.
Thanks!
Good afternoon !!!

Do builders have public liability insurance in Portugal?

Hold his mixer to ransom.
I never donate, only to people
WTF....i am so sorry about that...😖
Como se puede pagar una obra que no te han hecho? No lo entiendo
Come again, you said, "And now the roof is F..beep" what does the "BEEP" mean? LOL!, OK, my wife just explained to me it means "UCKED", LOL!!!!!
