Been wondering where you were, now I can see just how busy you have been, Great tour! All is looking wonderful!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much 😁

[@sharonrobb.94]

The dampness is due to the stone not being able to breathe. The render or paint should be replaced with lime based plaster or paint which will solve this problem.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you Sharon. You are right. Probably something we'll have to do over time, bit by bit.

[@xavierwatteeuw8275]

The kitchen is a room where a lot of vapor is produced, going upwards and condensing on the ceiling ( and the walls ) because the roof ( and the walls ) is ( are ) not insulated. Painting will not solve the mold, it may hide it for some time. Nice house, it was in my favorites on Idealista some months ago.

The ground floor would make a great rental or holiday let.

[@TeaAndTinto]

It would indeed Heather! Something we'll have to consider in the future. Thank you 😁

[@LorraineinAustralia]

Gracious me, what a gorgeous building. I’m thinking you are both at a great age to actually finish this renovation/restoration and have a luxury home to live in. It’s big enough to let out the ground floor as a B&B for holiday makers. There is quite enough room upstairs for you and your family to visit. I think I’m a little envious 🧑🏻‍🎤… Wishing you both every happiness, lots of strength, and of course , myriads of patience.. Cheers from Australia 🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you for your lovely comments Lorraine. I hope you are right about our age as there is plenty to do. It's also true that there is enough space for visiting family and friends upstairs. We had visitors over from Australia at Christmas. 😁

That's a great idea and we have thought about it but our windows are a bit too low for standard kitchen units in the conservatory. But we are not ruling out the idea just yet. Thank you so much for the suggestion.😁

[@juliam9214]

Hi from Sr Petersburg Florida. I love your home, you are so lucky to fine and enjoy. You have to dry the moldy ceiling or it will keep coming back. Mold is very dangerous to your health. It would be best to take it down and replace all that is wet. I know that cost a lot but your health is worth it. Please show more oy=f your gardens. Enjoy your home. 😊😊❤❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi there in St Petersberg, Florida. Thank you very much for the lovely comments. You are right about mold but luckily our living and sleeping areas have none . Just need to focus on the other areas.

[@shirleygraham6229]

Gosh I have so many questions. It is a lovely house. I must admit, I would be happy to leave the down stairs as it is. A bathroom to clean up in after being out in the garden for hours wouldn't be amiss. For any man, including my husband, all those downstairs rooms could work very well. One being an actual workroom, the others storage of equipment and tools. That must sound odd, but as you have so much space, it would be a nicer option (to me only) than having a whopping big shed out in the beautiful yard. You won't believe what came to mind as you showed us through. That long conservatory, would make a fabulous kitchen, handy to the beautiful big lounge area, fabulous outlook and perhaps the small current kitchen could be a laundry. Enough room to leave an ironing board set up, and have a bench for folding things, cupboards for typical laundry items. Just my thoughts. You have chosen well and the land looks lovely too. Best wishes from Australia.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Shirley. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your ideas. They are great. You are right about the downstairs and up to now it has been so handy to have the space for tools and storage without having to build a storage shed elsewhere, so there's been no rush, but we are planning some layout changes now. Definitely need a place to clean up after gardening. I like your idea of the kitchen in the conservatory and we have seriously considered that. However the windows are a little too low for standard units. Thanks again for sharing your ideas. We're hoping to post a video soon with further thoughts about the ground floor. 😀

Congratulations on your new adventure!! If I was you I would move the kitchen into the biggest bedroom closer to the living room and dinning room. On the main floor, and make the kitchen your laundry room with a sink for DIY, soaking cloths and anything else you need.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Wow. Thank you so much Anabela. I really appreciate your suggestions. At the moment all the water input and waste is on the other side of the house so in the short term we need to leave it as it is, but we'll definitely consider it in the future. Thanks again 😀

Hi Ruth in Oregon. That's a really great tip. I will definitely give it a go. Thank you 😊

[@johncooper5293]

Very impressive house. Looks like the living room was made by knocking down the rooms either side of the corridor. It is in very good condition for age. I've just bought a similar age house near Coimbra, 4 bed but it has been split in two so probably a similar size to yours originally. I still have the original windows like yours on the ground floor. Not sure why you want more bedrooms as ground floor is great for storage and workshop! Looks a good compromise of a liveable house but with opportunity to improve certain rooms. Mine is the same as has no heating and never had open fires so you do wonder how they kept warm in the winter. It does have good sun exposure so will warm up during the day.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thanks John. That's very interesting. Yours had no heating either!. I think you are right about knocking down divisions. It makes sense to me. Glad you enjoy your house too. 😁

Just thinking of this from your tour. You mentioned the continued stain on the kitchen ceiling. Also you have an odor. My suggestion would be to call in a professional on how to deal with this. Odor is mold and can be serious health problem, My best to you in your restoration.

The 'fix' for the textured sand paint, in your second bedroom, is a skim coat of lime plaster to fill in the surface and smooth it out. Did you say how much you paid for that beautiful home?

[@faithbrewer6246]

After you paint, urn the office upstairs into a library with over stuff furniture and a coffee/tea bar. When you finshe painting, move into the first floor and start a B and B/wedding events.. The junky kitchen on the bottom floor turns into a storage room and wine cellar. The room under the second room kitchen adds a dum waiter to it, and it will be easier to take food outside the dining area. The second floor kitchen turns into a catering kitchen to later have local teach your guest how to cook a simple Portugal dish. As soon as you open the selection of the house to guests, you can start making money to hire people to do major projects. Serve only breakfast and have finger food preparation buy the local. Only open your house to guests summer and fall so local teens and young adults can help with exter work.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Wow Faith! Thank you so much for those amazing ideas. You have certainly given us food for thought. I especially love the dumb waiter idea. That room you mention certainly isn't habitable and we already had ideas to make it a service room for water and plumbing. I also think the library is a great idea. As for B and B we have no plans for the future but you never know!!!

[@j.j.9123]

Do not paint or replaster until you’ve had some expert advice as you have dampness issues. That means there’s a lot of water being retained already. There must be a historic preservation office somewhere in Portugal where you can seek advice. What has happened is that the previous owners have made mistakes that have trapped the moisture. In a brick house, this can cause the brick to spall. I’m not sure about the stone. You need to take off all the layers of paint and sand plaster and only use lime based plaster and paint so the house can breathe. I am hoping that the mortar that holds the house together is also correct and has not been relayed or repointed with a hard, modern, cement. This can also help trap moisture forcing the water to escape via the stone rather than through a softer more line based mortar.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you very much for the detailed advice. We'll have to explore these issues further. The kitchen roof is flat and made of concrete and perhaps should have had a damp proof membrane. It's difficult to know if the whole exterior is pointed with lime or cement. It'll be a long, slow process if we have to repoint.

[@j.j.9123]

Yes, I meant replaced with hard concrete, not relayed. Auto correct. I volunteer for a historic house that had dampness issues. The wrong mortar used in a previous restoration had caused tremendous problems. Perhaps you could set up a program to have people stay and work on your rooms for several days in exchange for several vacation days. You may be able to mitigate much of the moisture with the right plaster and paint. At least try to remove the layers trapping the moisture. Please seek expert preservation advice from people who understand the old stone and your roof issue.

[@AlexNh3]

Brilliant advise! I have 40 plus years working in the field of historic building conservation. Please get the advise of a qualified professional. You have a beautiful home. Do it correctly and it will cost a penny or two up front but it will save you more in the long run…

[@hanspeterfluck4828]

Your house is beautiful and very big. And in a very good shape. Not like most of the properties on the market today. Overprized ruins! And people buying like crazy.

I saw where u can take a bucket of water about halfway and a branch from ur trees leave it till u can lift it out and see roots but leave it till u have a good rooting system. U can use fruit u may be able to root u more willows...I would dig the lemon tree up and put it in a big pot and keep it up by ur house also u need to pot it in a bag of compost with citrus in it..😊

[@TeaAndTinto]

Willow is amazing isn't it? It can also be used as you said by putting cuttings in water for a few days and the liquid can then be used for other plants as a rooting compound. I will try your method next year. Thank you so much for the tips. 😁

[@krisscamire4081]

The mold that is in that kitchen is not just going to go away you need to stop the moisture from coming in through the rocks on the outside there is a moisture barrier type of spray that you can

If fixing the roof hasn't solved the problem then you are right. We'll have to consider some kind of external barrier 🙂
