REVEALING OUR FINISHED hand-cut round roof masterpiece!

[@anneyday3493]

I am glad the tradesmen there allow you to follow their work so closely. It is very interesting to see how they do their jobs and utilize skills we don't otherwise get to see, including humor. I hope you tell them how much they are admired by your followers. That turret is a work of art!

[@kathykeene2092]

I am positive they really appreciate Drew and how he helps and cares. I’m sure they have had many arrogant homeowners that make them feel ill-at-ease.

[@cabbking]

One ongoing aspect of your adventure that isn’t ever recognized is how Drew bravely puts himself out there with his beginning Portuguese. Anyone who has visited a country where a different language is dominant knows how huge the effort is to try to communicate complicated needs and thoughts in a language that is not one’s own. Drew is carefully building his new language and has pushed past the natural reluctance of risk that is pretty overwhelming when moving from understanding what others are saying to actually communicating with native speakers. I’m sure Brittany is going through similar stages but in a more guarded way. Anyway, good on you, Drew. It takes as much macho to learn a foreign language as it does to learn all those building and construction skills.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Well said!! He knows how to get right in there and simply try his best! 💪❤️

[@bluezauza]

And Portuguese is not an easy language to learn because we have many sounds that are unique. Great job Drew.

[@Enfrance2003]

We appreciate how Drew is learning Portuguese the hard but effective way. After spending many wonderful holidays near Sao Bras we only learned to say Obrigada, but of course most of the locals could speak a little English putting us to shame. Ultimately we lived in France from 18 years and had to go through the same process that Drew is using. It’s important that the native speakers correct your mistakes though.

[@module79l28]

And Drew is not even speaking with native speakers, remember that they're ukrainian and they don't speak Portuguese fluently themselves!

[@Hope-fv3kf]

Tower roof is perfection. Craftsmanship is exceptional.

I hope this helps them get many future lucrative contracts. I just love your vision for raising the turret roof. It really has become the feature of your new home. ❤

I bet the Dutch people are so proud of how this "tower" became, and that the workers are such absolutely amazing artists

[@Enfrance2003]

@@monicavonr9029 We lived in France for 18 years and saw quite a few examples of projects by people from the UK, Netherlands and Germany that foundered for various reasons but none that were as beautiful as this mill. I hope the Dutch family who started the project are proud because it was their inspiration that brought this to life. It’s nice that Brittany and Drew frequently acknowledge that and voice their gratitude. A charming couple. And those craftsmen! 👍

The lineage of the tiles, the lines of the glass in its formation and angle of lift for the turret and all wrapped together produces such a pleasing piece of true art. A book needs to be written for your magical home……and a line of build artsy pictures to focus On your progression. Spectacular!

It's very rewarding to watch these craftsmen at work. Beautiful results.

Watching young men, who are such incredible craftsmen, is incredibly delightful. It seems like a lot of specialists are growing too old and there are not enough young craftsmen/women to replace them and their unique skills. You do manage to find the most incredible help!

[@ricardodeangelo3851]

The turret roof turned out marvelous!

[@sandy89107]

Those glass blocks are so pretty. They are at the perfect location for just enough light ❤

[@ginkodragon]

Actually, Cristopher, glass blocks are making a comeback after being considered "old fashioned"! Archiectual Digest starts out their article on glass blocks making a comeback as "When you hear the phrase “glass block,” the mind immediately wanders to neon-accented icy interiors of the ‘80s. And don’t worry, those decor trends have been left in their decade, hopefully never to be seen again." In the 1950's, my father designed and built our house in Hawaii with a wall of glass blocks in the hallway that was exposed to the outside. It provided light to the house that was set on land that was below the street level. I have always loved the look of them, used inside or out, not just for its ability to let light into a otherwise dark area, but to give an illusion of space and light. ive always thought that they provided a rich sparkle too, like diamonds! It made me so sad everytime I would see or hear someone say that they were going to get rid of the glass blocks in their homes because they were out of style or old fashioned. But hopefully people are recognizing the potential beauty of glass blocks! I'm extatic that they are making a comback in home decor!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Loved reading all of this!! Thank you for sharing. And how they sparkle is just ✨🫶✨

[@JenShea]

I've always loved glass block. There are definitely some poor design choices with glass block... but it can make places so special. My dream is a tiled walk-in shower with glass block!

[@TheTenfourroger]

In Europe, glass blocks have never left the scene 😃

[@lindsayhenson6628]

Quite literally the icing on the cake, not only stunning to look at but so practical with the light you will now have. Once again what a group of builders you have, they are fabulous.

[@kbVACArestatecarsnrvs]

I've always loved glass block since I was a kid. My Dad worked at Coca Cola and the 50's building (in VA) had it in front at the entrance of the building. Lights were behind it for night time enjoyment when you passed by. And living in CA I always enjoyed seeing it in bath areas in new or remodeled builds. It looks so good you guys. Such a smart decision to use it on the turret. It really transforms it to a new level!

[@ginkodragon]

Gee, i cant believe how labor intensive this whole project has been! As Drew pointed out, in the US, buildings are constructed with wood, but it seems that here, in Portugal atleast, buildings are constructed with stone and concrete. It is looking beautiful however. You have a hand-crafted roof! It was intersting how they used a blowtorch to soften the asphalt material and how the tiles were laid. Glass blocks are out of fashion these days, but I have always loved them. They are beautiful!I like the wider grouted spaces between the glass blocks. They mimic the grounting in the brick! Your turret would feel like a dungeon like silo without the glass! Brilliant! Your kitties have become so adopted to you, they choose to stay and clearly love you! Brittany, i have used that Lash mascara as a primer and really loved it, so thank you for the discount code!

[@christopherr4046]

There is no such thing as being out of fashion. That's just some social construct for people to judge others. The Glass blocks are beautiful and exactly what this project needed. And duh, they serve the practical purpose of lighting up the top of the tower.

[@juergenzenner4219]

What an amazing job the men did on the turret! It lets in beautiful light & the way they did the tiles looks fantastic! I hope you resolve the water leaks quickly. Ironically I had no idea there were scorpions 🦂 in Portugal! 🇵🇹 I was just in Arizona a little over a week ago & encountered one staying at a friend’s home. I was walking barefoot in the bathroom when I felt something moving under my feet along the side of the sheepskin rug. I believe the only reason I didn’t get stung was because its stinger had to have been under the sheepskin. We were both startled. It was transparent & at least 4.5” Long. It was huge! I’ve never encountered them in person before. Turns out the cleaners must have brought it with them that day! 😬 So happy to see all the beautiful progress you’re making! 🎉

[@merklingassoc]

My heart is weeping, I have wanted glass bricks in a home forever. My grandmother had them in her entryway in San Francisco. I always loved them and I guess they are also a very dear memory for me. I live in a redwood cabin my dad built in 1953. I also live in a redwood forest, back in the 50's redwood was the cheapest wood for building in Santa Cruz, CA. So most of the inside of my cabin (outside too) is all beautiful redwood. Beautiful , but very dark inside from all the wood and the tree canopy. We've two islands, one between the kitchen and dining room and one between the kitchen and living room. It's a very open floor plan. Guess my dad was ahead of his time when he built it. Lol. Anyway, I so want to remake the islands using glass bricks, solid countertop and some sort of rope or newer version of colored lights to light up the block. It's a dream, and your project is reminding me of it once again. Your master bath is going to be stunning. ❤❤❤ Brittany, love the black lace top and grey leggings. Very cute. Drew very sharp hair cut.

To fill those gaps between the glass blocks, a bag to fill with that filling material is very effective, then it is cut at a corner and by pressing, the respective gaps can be filled very easily, a kind of adapted pump.
