    Hi there, make sure that you control everything at least twice, because of its all electric ~ 230 V AC ... and remember to old saying on the big billboard next to the hairpin curve and the abyss? "Drive safely! Death is soooo permanent."

      We will have breakers and fuses to cover the electrical system. These will run from a brand-new consumer unit.
      Thank you for your interest in our videos

    DAY AFTER DAY THE PROGRESS. I'LL GIVE 1 TIP ABOUT TREES, ON ONE OF THE BRANCHES IF YOU TAKE OFF THE BARK AND WRAP IT WITH EARTH AND THEN WRAP IT UP WITH 1 CLOTH, THAT BRANCH GAINS ROOTS! THEN CUT FROM THE BOTTOM AND YOU WILL HAVE 1 NEW TREE! HUGS

    It looked like the large headed screws holding the box to the wall were holding the front plates off slightly. I assume your going to plaster so some of that gap should dissappear. With the electrics coming into the house. Is there a requirement to have a consumer unit. With various trips etc. Good job so far.

      Some expats in Portugal upgrade to modern consumer units. As this is from scratch, I'm guessing that's what will be installed in this restoration.

    • @Iwantalemon

      Yeah, this room will be plastered

    It looked like you were just passing wires through the wall? In our build it all had to go through conduit 🤔

      We just followed our English electrician told us

      @@Iwantalemon ok, but just to let you know, we saw someone who installed English sockets in their guest room and thought ‘that’s a cool idea’ until we were informed that if anything went wrong insurance wouldn’t pay out as it’s not to code! Everything we have seen in Portugal has conduit for all electrical and network cabling. But not sure about renovations? Keep on rocking though, look forward seeing it develop 👍
