That was never our intention. It could be cheaper to knock it down but the much longer wait for a full new build project was projected to be about 3-5 years. We only waited about 18 months for full approval. Though I believe planning rules changed this week.

Your final decision was probably the only one that will fit in with the age and build of the house, but it is a mind twister trying to imagine how it works.

Just wondering, you said that salts were what was causing the stone wall to flake, usually caused by damp. What is used to stop the progress of the salts in Portugal? I feel that chemicals might not be your usual go to, What are you going to be using as a neutraliser? Brush ,wash, vinegar, wash then baking soda I have heard used, but that was not on a wall with such a build up as those at your place.The Ledge option will get the build above the issue and I wonered if the salts issue would be addressed first.

I've been following you for a short while and I've seen how much enthusiasm and effort you do to make this place livable and enchanting, but I have a question to ask you. Isn't it costumary in Portugal to consult an engineer or architect before making a purchase? I've noticed that many people experience infrastructure problems after purchasing and I'm sorry that you then have to double your available budget. In Italy we usually rely on them and if the deal is convenient, we make the purchase. Consider that if you buy in a mountain area, you must even consult a geologist, this is for the safety of the buyer
