Well, I was worried about the lack of dust protection at certain stages, as well as wondering whether anyone was wearing abdominal support (esp. young woman) when carrying heavy weights. I think I would have installed hook on points on the new faîte du toit. Gloves - that saves your skin and nails and means you don't have to remove wedding rings or other finger jewellery. Sorry to be critical but I'm at the "other end" of life and have seen so many people with occupational diseases. Stay safe❤

So nice to see the transformation in one video, one forgets how it looked before all of your backbreaking work. You have come so far, in such a short time! I think a renovation on this scale is far tougher than a new build, from scratch?

[@Diego_Leon]

Yes! Thank you so much Tania for deciding to join Patreon! Well, I love to see how it was 1 year ago. I don't know if it's easier or more difficult, but of course you have to demolish parts in poor condition and redo them and when you build a new one, well, in some things it's easier, but you also need more permits and land for construction isn't cheap, so... happy with everything achieved. all the best

[@bored.already]

i watched this till the end and the amount of work you did is absolutely amazing! planning and fulfilling such a big project and being versatile in different things is a talent and a hard work. that was really inspiring ✨ it seemed especially important to me that you’re using the existing structures and renovating that you have - not building from scratch. it’s really touching that you’re saving the soul of that place, terracotta roof tiles, wooden doors and such. in my country (russia) it’s more common to demolish historical buildings and just build something from the cheapest materials, like blue corrugated sheets. it’s so important to use proper materials and make the building match its surroundings!

Well done. ❣️
