Abandoned Stone House Renovation | Installing Sandwich Panels Roof - Ep.13

In this Video I hired 2 builders from the village to help us install the roof.
But my father and I ended up finishing it by ourselves.

Hi guys, I am Alex.
I am an Ukrainian expat who moved to Portugal.
No one in my family ever did any farming, But I discovered that I am very passionate about farming so recently I've purchased this 28 hectares Farm in Central Portugal, with the intention to start a small scale farm raising worms, cattle and sheep.
In this little farm I am also planning to build an off grid home, and be as self sufficient as possible, by growing my own food.
I created this channel to share my journey with the world, The journey of a first generation farmer, that is starting with no prior knowledge and experiences.
That maybe all the mistakes that I will make along this journey, and all the fails maybe will help some of you to learn from my mistake and not make them yourself.
I want to bring value and inspire people who are thinking about farming.
I am not a filmmaker or an editor, I am just a simple guy with a camera.

Congrat guys!!

[@liongod1000]

@Alex Lukachina *_ Strange that you also have had bad luck with tradesmen because living in South Africa we used to 'Import' Portuguese tradesmen into the country as there was a shortage of Construction workers in the 60's and they were EXCELLENT workers.... Times have changed! _*

[@lextrombas]

@@liongod1000 God how arrogant you sound. But that is typical if a racist country. "We imported Portuguese into SA because they were better workers" Just like the slave traders of old. Those Portuguese were not IMPORTED you racist, they were fleeing their homes because of WAR! They were hard workers at trying to build up what they had lost. The absolute arrogance of your statement is gauling to millions around the world. Its why you are not welcome in so many countries unless you have enough money to buy your way in.

I'm very sad to see no more videos. I certainly hope all is well with Alex and dad.

[@cathunter3874]

It is possible the Ukrainian authorities were looking for him, I was best friends with my Ukrainian ex for twenty years, he had never even been back there and he was at risk of being conscripted at any point, never mind during a war. They have a dozen different ways to 'persuade' Bit concerned for poor dad too.

It so sad. The guy was building a house for his family and then Putin decided to destroy everyone's lives. Hope he's ok.@@cathunter3874

Alex and Dad: Rumor is that you have to sell your farm. You and Pop have done amazing things to that stone shed. I loved watching all the progress being made on that building. Please let your loyal supporters know how you guys are doing. Did you have to return to Ukraine? I almost felt like I had 2 Ukrainian brothers trying to build a better safer life in another country.

Alex, do you treat your sheep for worms and make sure they have the minerals that they need? It is very important to do. The male is looking very very thin too, have you had a chance to have them seen by a vet? You and your father are better than the two that claim to be professional. Wow, good job! It is good to see all that you are accomplishing with your stone house renovation! Thank you for sharing.

[@veragamsky1734]

Hi Alex. I watched a couple who had hired some men from the local village who were suppose to be professionals. This was individual tiles. Well one day they did not show up for work which it turned out to be a good thing as the husband had to take them all off and do it right like you had to. They had almost made it to the top. Thank goodness you and your dad were able to fix it. Hope your dad starts feeling better but i also have/had back problems and for me it never got better. At least he is still able to help you. Looking good.

[@SwimCoach8]

Well done Alex. It does truly make the home! Take very good care of your father and know when to tell him no. My dad worked construction and was always there for me. When he got older and I knew he was over doing things....My wife and I would take the kids on a day trip to slow what ever project we were doing. He would be angry because I wouldn't allow him to work alone. This would pass and we could resume his frantic pace. The son becomes the father, hehehehehe! Again, wonderful job and thank you for bringing us along.

[@AlexLukachina]

Haha yeah its really like that eh, Son becomes the father :) Yeah gladly my father got better at that point, He rested for about 2 weeks by that point.

[@joanbroadway759]

It's amazing how a roof makes it suddenly look like a house instead of a ruin. I'm glad your dad was feeling well enough to help you. I'm also glad you discovered the mistake that the builders made before they did too much of it. At least they were able to help you get the beams up.

[@wandajarabo1793]

The roof panels are amazing, all in one insulation and so easy to handle and work on. I'm impressed with how good your roof looks. your house is no longer a ruin. Always very happy to see a new video come up. Best wishes to you and your dad.
