I am Brazilian and I live in Rio de Janeiro. I love watching your videos. God bless the couple.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Glad you are enjoying the channel, Alba!😎🇵🇹

[@Olderthantime-ic]

Oh well done both of you. From what I see of others, it seems to be a common problem. But you did very well. It won't be long before you have the store room kitted out as a lovely space for friends.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Thanks a lot. We're really looking forward to having another more 'respectable' room on the property 😎

[@bfox5767]

That was a lot of work. I'm glad you were able to accomplish it. Great job!

Thanks a lot. You're very kind😀🇵🇹

Ja estao fartos de ouvir isto com certeza mas adoro a vossa calma perante as situações. 😊 Usar o que há é uma boa maneira de poupar! Bom trabalho e ate ao proximo vídeo!! Bjinhos Jane & Phil 😃

I have put one of those shelf units together, a nasty fiddly job, but handy..i can see Phil is itching to fix that barn roof. Such potential for storage.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

I'm itching to get all our stuff nicely boxed and labelled. So many itches 😂📦📦📦

You could also get one of those outdoor roller shades that come out too! Will see you in Feb. Can’t wait ! I’m pining for Poiares

Can't wait!

Your green wine bottles how about a lovely feature wall with the green bottles as they would do pretty green light into a room or on a patio area as a wind block but still get light streaming through, just a thought something I’ve always wanted to do ! Xxx

Thanks Patricia. I've seen all sorts of ideas for using the bottles. Just got to decide on one now. Take care and have a lovely week🤗

Another piece of the puzzle is in place and a step further into your future.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Thanks. It's a VERY big puzzle!🧩🤔

[@Portugalonashoestring]

Hi, well done on getting all the mismatched tiles to fit. On the screen it looks like you don't have much of a fall on the roof? I know i had a shed roof that i tiled a few years ago with a shallow pitch and realised when i finished that once the tiles were sitting on the ones below that the top surface was actually level and water would blow back under the tiles if it was windy😂 😂😂

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Hi guys, and thanks for the tip. Yes, the pitch is right down at the minimum recommended, but we're hoping it's sufficient for now. We'll be doing a better job once our project is approved. Just been checking out your latest video, and looks like we're shelving buddies! 🏡📦📦

[@stuartwilliams2034]

Did you go to Mondego Wok, next door to Leroy Merlin while you were there? It's a wonderful all you can eat buffet

[@HotkeysPortugal]

We haven't tried it yet, but have heard great comments about it😋

[@cybermumsue]

Very resourceful . Does it matter that the pitch is different as I read pitch should be 14degrees?

[@HotkeysPortugal]

It is down at the bare minimum, Sue, but we're keeping everything crossed that it's sufficient for now, until we get our project approved and can do a more long-term solution🤞

[@LauraHausman-l8y]

The tiles on the roof seem to be very complicated. How much does one tile cost? Do they have reuse stores in Portugal? Perhaps you can fined, used tiles that match better in the area to fill in on the garage roof.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Thanks Laura, it was ok once I got my thinking cap on. With small numbers we can mix and match from our own or tap into the piles at a neighbour's house - everybody has them somewhere here. For the garage, it will probably be a different solution, maybe the ridged metal sheets like we have on the kitchen.

Eucalyptus seems to be a coveted building material for its hardy and long-lasting qualities.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Very true, but I have to learn lots of new techniques to work with round wood rather than the normal milled timber we get in the UK.🛠️😎🇵🇹

[@martinjames3950]

Looking at your tiling in my opinion the batterns are slightly too far apart the front of the tile should overhang the batten not sit on it😊

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Yes, it does a bit wrong and made me think hard about it. I experimented with batten spacing on the bench (earlier episode shows details) and because these tiles are sculpted with like a dropping claw on the lower edge (hard to explain, sorry) to fit a recess in the course below, then this fixes the batten spacing with about 1cm of tolerance. My problem was more with variable widths, but I think I got there in the end.👍🛠️🇵🇹😎

Olá. Desde já quero dar as minhas felicitações por terem a coragem de recuperar a vossa casa. O local é lindo e tranquilo. Espero que gostem de estar aqui e que sejam felizes. Já agora queria dizer que a parte da esquerda que não é coberta por telhas devia ser substituído porque a mim pareceu-me serem placas de fibrocimento que por serem muito velhas tinham na altura amianto. Informem-se se realmente são essas placas que estou a falar (procurem no google por Lusalite amianto) e se forem devem ser retiradas com todos os cuidados que merecem por terem amianto. Antigamente usava-se muito em Portugal porque não se falava dos malefícios do amianto. Eram feitas aqui em Portugal por uma empresa que se chamava Lusalite, O fibrocimento foi uma das maiores tendências da construção civil em Portugal durante os anos 60, 70 e 80. O país encheu-se de “telhas onduladas” que substituíam as tradicionais, de depósitos de água cinzentos e até de tubos feito do mesmo material. Era então um dos materiais mais utilizados no país para isolamento. O sucesso do fibrocimento foi tanto que ficou conhecido como “placas de Lusalite”, o nome da empresa que o fabricava. Só nos anos 90 surgiram os alertas acerca dos perigos do amianto, uma das matérias-primas do fibrocimento, o que levou progressivamente ao seu desuso. Hoje, o amianto é um material cujo uso foi proibido, e a remoção de placas de amianto deve ser assegurada por equipas altamente especializadas. Podem comprar as mesmas placas de fibrocimento em cinza sem amianto no Leroy. Saudações de Portugal.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Obrigado por uma explicação muito útil - temos regulamentos e experiências semelhantes em Inglaterra, onde este material também foi proibido na década de 1990. Essa parte do edifício vai ser demolida e reconstruída como parte do projeto principal, pelo que vamos minimizar o nosso esforço nesse sentido, se possível. Recentemente, fizemos um trabalho semelhante no telhado de uma garagem em Inglaterra e, com essa experiência, aprendemos que o principal risco é a perda de poeira por painéis danificados ou partidos. Estes painéis estão em bom estado e, por isso, não os vamos mexer até ser necessário. Obrigado também pela dica sobre a compra de alternativas.

[@luispinto5113]

There's no bucket or rope to lift the tiles onto the roof... Poor lady doing slave work. Lol😅

[@nba6124]

Verdade. Deixei um comentário nesse sentido. Eram placas de uma empresa portuguesa que se chamava LUSALITE.

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Gracias por su preocupación. Tenemos normativas y experiencias similares en Inglaterra, donde este material también se prohibió en los años noventa. Esa parte del edificio será demolida y reconstruida como parte del proyecto principal, por lo que minimizaremos nuestro esfuerzo en ella ahora si podemos. Hace poco hicimos un trabajo similar en el tejado de un garaje en Inglaterra y de aquella experiencia aprendimos que el principal riesgo es el polvo que se pierde por los paneles dañados o rotos. Estos están en buen estado, así que no los tocaremos hasta que sea necesario.

[@evacorme3593]

Estupendo trabajo. Os aconsejaría sustituir el techo de la nueva habitación junto al baño, pues la Uralita es un techo de amianto nada aconsejable para la salud, en especial al sistema respiratorio por las partículas que emite son cancerígenas, cuidado al retirar usar mascarilla y traje porque las partículas se adhieren a los pulmones y por la piel al sistema sanguíneo....en España hay normativas para su retirada y empresas que se dedican a ello y su eliminación....en Portugal no sé. Además en invierno con esos techos te hielas de frío y en verano te asas de calor. No son nada aconsejable para viviendas aquí se están sustituyendo de la mayoría de los lugares. Yo lo subiría por un techo igual al del baño, con su correspondiente aislante. Ganarías en salud y confor . El garaje quitar las tejas guardarlas y poner techo de chapa metálica como la cocina al aire libre. Ganarías un gran espacio como taller, Garaje o simplemente almacenamiento

[@HotkeysPortugal]

Gracias, y sí, entendemos los retos del otro tejado. Lo retiraremos cuando empiecen las obras del edificio principal. Ya hemos hecho esto antes en el tejado de un garaje en Inglaterra y de esa experiencia aprendimos que el principal riesgo es el polvo que se pierde por los paneles dañados o rotos. Estos están en buen estado y no los tocaremos hasta que sea necesario. Para el granero, tienes razón, los paneles de metal son una buena idea y voy a investigar más adelante en el año para ese edificio.
