#52 Renovating bricks and windows in our old abandoned portuguese ruin

[@felixhartig_visual]

Thank you all guys! I really appreciate the love and compliments from you! Since a lot of you referenced on the negative comments: Actually it was not the biggest thing for me. I think Dave discribes there more the variaty of opinions and critics in general which you have to deal with as a YT video maker. You can read more about the main reasons why i gonna quit in the YT community post. Again, thank you all, was a pleasure to make these videos for you. Enjoy the rest of my work!

Felix, greatly enjoyed your videos and style of shooting/editing. It has a Wes Anderson vibe to me at time. Hope great things for you in the future and again thanks for your contributions!

[@deepteshsarkar5635]

Your every work was top class , always kept an eye on the channel. It's sad that you're leaving

[@johnlorrieboskovic2836]

Felix, I really liked what you added to the videos. It is a shame that the intensity of the negative comments caused you to think that you were not creating a good product. You were and continue to do so. Fair winds and following seas to you during your journeys!!

[@mancdown]

I think Felix made the right decision and sadly, I can't agree that the videos were a good product. As a viewer with partial hearing loss, the introduction of all the over amplified background noise is a massive issue and makes it almost impossible to watch the videos with the background noise drowning out the conversations. Why was it felt necessary to have the volume of the chainsaws and brush cutters higher than the conversation pieces? I imagine these kind of videos would also be very difficult to watch for people with sensory issues such as autism. I'm hopeful that I'll now be able to continue enjoying the videos in season 2 as I don't really need reminding throughout the entire videos what a loud chainsaw sounds like as I already know!

[@TrIs1493]

I actually think it sucks how hard comments can feel for people. At the end of the day, it's just an opinion, and especially online, they don't mean shit. It's just someone typing something and forgetting about it (plus: not thinking about the concequenses). Like you, I do like Felix' videomaker style, so I hope this isn't the end for Felix as (KZbin) videomaker.

[@LivinInSim]

I feel the videos have improved a great deal since Felix began. I am slightly hearing impaired as well, and I can watch with enjoyment, but my particular situation could be a bit different. I do use the captions, and am glad they are available. I would encourage Felix to do what is right for him. The comments are a necessary "take what you like and leave the rest" to roll off you quite easily if possible. It is not required to please everyone. Perfection can be the death of creativity. If Felix has enjoyed the making, perhaps he can continue with a partner to share the load.

Always climb INSIDE a scaffold tower not outside, that way it cannot overbalance as the load is inside the feet.

[@daylen577]

It's neat to see how people here overestimate the knowledge/experience of the peeps at Project Kamp. No offense to them or the viewers, but people have to keep in mind that it's all a learning process. Wouldn't surprise me if all but one or two of the Kamp members have never even touched scaffolding before now, and the same is true for other topics in other videos. As long as they keep learning and improving it'll all work out.

[@_TheDudeAbides_]

You don't only ned 2 video makers, you also need someone who knows how to build houses. I am not a builder but I can see that it all shakes. To make sure noone dies I would think the best idea is to take down the walls. Get a builder to help you on how to build it all and use the old bricks when you rebuild it. Also, please use protection when working with stone so you don't inhale stone dust etc.

[@gigi2212]

The building is dangerous and must be taken down. In the first serious earthquake can fell and kill you. In order to keep it you must reinforce it with iron bar net 10x10 cm in and out each wall and blast it with cement of at list 5cm width. I'm an engineer

[@georgiafloydsod9644]

Yeah definitely, guys If you see these comments please pay attention to them. We're not saying this as mindless internet trolling, if you put a safe roof on that structure then the structure itself will be unsafe. I'm a civil engineer by trade and I can think of a few solutions if you really want to keep the walls. For example, you could construct a frame inside the building which would allow you to mount a lightweight ceiling and hang light fixtures. This could be combined and integrated with your furniture plan by building the frame out of a heavily reinforced set of cabinets which act as pillars to hold up the roof. Even if you dont take that idea please just be safe, we all enjoy your videos and we dont want you guys to get hurt

[@gigi2212]

Hi Georgia, may I ask the country you trade in? I studied engineering in Greece and I know in the past you could build whatever without a permit in South European countries as long it was a small scale structure. Of course it was a wrong idea but for the time was a political decision to grow the economy.

[@kateapple1]

I agree less extras and more people who actually know how to build homes and structures like these

[@EsmagaSapos]

In Portugal, an inspector would probably ask for the house to be demolished, and probably it will if anyone make a phone call. But I mean, almost every channel about this in Portugal you know people don’t care about licensing, too bad the Portuguese people are usually the ones with less money and the ones that get in trouble, so they go by the book and hope nothing goes wrong.

[@admirableawesome2317]

i love watching this. so cool what you're doing!

[@dykyd]

Just an advice, you should wet the brick first, spray it or just dip into the water so it can attach strongly with the cement.

[@Michael-tn9ov]

Ceramic bricks need to be submerged for a few seconds in water if they are dry, otherwise they absorb the water in the mortar before the mortar has time to set.

[@jmsaltzman]

This sounds like useful information! Any other tips on using those bricks? Inexpensive block materials all seem to have their own special issues wrt moisture.

[@Michael-tn9ov]

Yes, reinforced concrete perimetral strap for the next layer of beams. Actually in the footage you can clearly see it had been done everywhere except on the collapsed wall. (you can see the shuttered concrete both in the cellar and along where the roof beams went). The reason is that technically those are not load bearing bricks, but they got around it with the straps so as to spread the load equally.

[@gailordroberts]

Are these not terra cotta bricks?

[@rafavince]

no need to submerge if you just throw water at them.

[@timvogelin8632]

[@jayinla310]

Felix did a great job on your videos and I'm sorry to see him go.

[@JamesPascazio]

I can’t be the only one thinking those bricks are too hollow ? And the whole things looks structurally inballanced and unsafe, there are no reinforced concrete pillars on the corners

[@MrBiger48]

if you are working in all that dust you should probably wear a dust masks especially when inside the ruin or a confined space

[@koennie100]

Just nock the top part down, there's no way that building is safe. If your gonna keep it standing reinforce the walls in the corners, for isolation use pir or styrofoam on the outside of the walls and stuco it.

People have always needed the psychological skill to decide what criticism is worth letting in, and what to ignore. Social media has vastly increased the volume and exposure of criticism and I don’t think as a species we have caught up psychologically to the emotional deluge that we get hammered with. FWIW, I have been enjoying the videos and I think they’re great. I also thought the earlier, less professional videos were fine too. Personally, I think it’s possible to increase the production values so high that they detract from the content. Your core story here is a bunch of regular folks learning how to live and showing some mistakes along the way. DIY-style video supports that narrative. Anyway, Felix, thanks for the videos, I think you did great, and best wishes in your next endeavors.

[@QuickMind]

that building has no skeleton that i can see, you usually have to have concrete poles on each corner with reinforced metal bars on the inside to provide structure... that looks like a death trap, using only bricks and mortar is extremely dangerous, that is why it wobbles so much.... i imagine that if i ran into one of those walls it would all come down like dominos! Be careful guys, build the skeleton first, that thing is not up to code in Portugal (or any other country i imagine) Also, all that rebuild, alterations and things might require permits from town hall since what might exist on records may not be that brick house (highly doubt that "house" was legal) and without a an approved project, and use change (you want it for habitation), you may have to tear it down

[@SplatterInker]

You are aware that ppl have been building houses just out of bricks and mortar without steel reinforcements for ... centuries... right? But yes, quite, getting the structure secure is the most important. In the UK our house of over 10yrs had steel supports only where we'd put a patio door on a structural wall... it was built in the 1940s... sturdier than a lot of the prefab stuff being built now.

[@QuickMind]

@@SplatterInker Indeed i am aware, but there are now stadards and building codes that have to be followed and that did not exist centuries ago (or even decades for that matter)

[@caraneal2761]

I agree, I’ve been loving following this project for a while and I follow a fair amount of renovation stuff on KZbin but this is just upsetting me to see how careless they are to the risks. Knock those top walls down and start again. Stop with the bullshit strap on the walls, do it properly, and remember that your bodies are far harder to rebuild than walls.

[@jaymeese7714]

im not a brick expert, but it seems to me those bricks are hollow. They are only held up by the other walls and the weight of a roof. no way would i keep any of those walls. I would remove them and rebuild with blocks or have concrete pillars. i feel comfortable with a house i have in Hungary made of block and brick walls that are 2 feet thick. That house is a death trap!

[@DaDunge]

@@SplatterInker Those houses were built with interlocking duallayers of bricks (With offset interlocks, I don't know all the phrases in english I have a book on the subject in Swedish) not single layer walls like this, single layer walls only became a thing when we started reinforcing it with concrete. Also there are bricks and bricks, real bricks is lss then 50% empty space (holes facing upwards) these are much less then 50% soid and have holes faing sideways. This makes them far far more brittle.

Dave, I really love your humor. Luggage rack is a little bent but the solar panel will hold it....great view of the lintel .......

[@lazywarrenlewis]

I still don't understand why oh but why didn't you remove everything but the granite structure. Even when you finish with reconstruction there will be too many weak links in the structure. The brick and the concrete are old and porous , and I doubt there is even minimum required reinforcement steel built in the structure

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

I'm far from a builder, in fact I have zero qualifications, but from videos and from a friend, when I've been learning various things completely unrelated to this video and now watching this series I can't lie I did wonder why they aren't just taking it completely apart. It's gone already anyway. Try and take everything down carefully for potential reuse but doing it that way looks like it's going to be botched and it'll just expose one issue after another. At the end of the day I'm not a builder, I don't have structural degrees either, and I suppose you can only learn if you make mistakes, even though those mistakes might be costly. They may well have consulted somebody who knows what they're doing, maybe there is a plan that will work and make it safe, suppose we'll see.

[@timslee2573]

As someone who is about to set up a similar project in the UK (Cornwall) then I must say, these videos are the benchmark for anyone creating content in this area of YT - they are so good, I genuinely look forward to the next one like I used to wait for a weekly update of some show when I was a kid - I love them.

Lovely to see Jim and Bob working! ♥️ Also I think it's a great decision to have two videopeople in the future. Lots of love to you guys!

[@moderate_distractions]

Guys great video and finally good to see you working on the ruin, just couple of quick tips(I'm a site manager in construction in Lisbon), window sills in granite/limestone should be installed with tile paste glue, should there be any further contention on the wall, the mortar is subdue to cracking rather glue, which will flex. Also keep in mind the wall faded and is fragile due to lack of structural columns, a lentil is only good if directly unloading on the lower, load bearing wall, in Portugal, every slab or lentil should be vertically supported(usually in concrete) every 5m of span, and edges of the building envelope, bricks can be as straight as you want, but if not supported by a structural beam and column system, they will most likely settle after some time, keep up the good work!

Those bricks look pretty rough! it's good to reuse things, but im not sure these ones are worth it. maybe there is some local reuse group nearby where someone is throwing out some bricks that are a bit sturdier!

[@garyharris8082]

Those type of brick/block used in Europe I'm not too sure what type of blocks that would be better?

[@ruimiguelchocas]

Those bricks already had been exposed to sun, water, frost, and intense heat from the fire in the property… Reuse them in a chinken coup, or veg garden, NOT in structure/house

[@EastLondonKiwi]

Using granite as a windowsill is a smart idea. The angle on a windowsill is common, in wooden framed houses builders often use a wedge that is laid under the widow frame, which is covered with a rubber flashing tape. The wedge creates the flow angle while the flashing tape creates the water proofing. What you have not done is cut a drip edge channel in the underside of the granite sill. A drip edge breaks the surface and causes the water if any gets on the sill to pause at the channel, build up and then gravity causes it to drip (hence the term drip edge) harmlessly away from the building. The risk of not having a drip edge is that water will continue to travel under the sill and get to the wall surface, after which absorption or ingress can occur. Regardless I like the recycling of the older windows. Take care D

[@rtyria]

For windows that don't have a drip edge, a bead of caulk in the same area can often serve the purpose just as well.

[@shidinpisincrying]

You should not be putting knots into ratchet straps. Their strength rating is based off of the load being distributed across the entire surface. When you knot them, you're greatly reducing the surface area the load is on, and they then become rated for only a fraction of their typical load. They fail very easily in that state. Stay safe!

[@CrosshairLunchbox]

This is true of any lifting or load strap!

[@AlexdaCunha]

I just found your channel today. Thanks for choosing Portugal for your project 🙌 we really need more people like you guys! Welcome

[@gusser2121]

When you put in the frame, you'll need to figure out some method of tie-backs that will secure the wall to the frame. The way to wall was leaning and was shaky was pretty scary to watch.

That’s why it’s illegal in Portugal. For what he did, he’d need licensing, an architect and an engineer. People usually do this in Portugal and with a simple phone call they have to demolish everything and do it by the book. So, hope you got good neighbors, otherwise they can get you in trouble. Portugal is a country where papers are needed, people don’t understand it but it’s a question of security and safety, and also to make people spend money on every profession involved.

Just as an advice: when you place the window in the wall's hole, it is pretty hard to properly level it.

Seems to me that a lot of properties in Portugal are built in a similar way. Single brick, poorly constructed with little strength. In UK this is referred to as jerry building, this sort of approach was used to construct temporary pig houses in the countryside and would never pass even the most basic building inspection.

[@archive4059]

Exactly what that building was.

[@srantoniomatos]

This is not common or even alowed for home buildings anywhere in portugal. Not in the last 25 years, at least. That was probably a pig house, or some kind of agro building, built on top of an old stone ruin. This rebuild dont seem legal and safe...
