ONE YEAR TIMELAPSE | Our Old Stone Home Renovation Project in Central Portugal

[@RenovationWork]

It has been such a fascinating journey, I can't believe it's been 1 years!

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

It's flown 😅 thanks so much!!

[@PlantCrazyMom]

This timelapse is the first video of yours that I've watched, and I didn't skip any ads-just a small contribution to help boost your channel in the algorithm. I believe your content has a lot to offer in terms of showcasing patience, tenacity, and grit during renovations. I also appreciate how you always keep your workplace tidy; it's so pleasant for the eyes and mind to see everything cleaned up at the end of each day. Your meticulousness in the tedious task of chipping off the lime plaster is truly admirable. The transformation of each space is awesome!

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Oh, thank you so much 😊 it really means a lot!!

[@LizChild-u9i]

[@jaegor2011]

When re-jointing, make sure you wet the cracks first by spraying with water, to get a better bonding (I use a basic 5 liter plant sprayer which you pump to pressurize with a spray nozzle on a flexible hose) also, you do not want the mortar not to dry out too fast. When it's hot, make sure you wet by spraying gently after some time (not too huch...the stones will get dirty from water running down)...keep up the good work

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Great tip! Thank you so much 😊

[@katiadp2145]

I don’t usually watch anniversary timelapse’s if I’ve seen all of the original content over the year already, but I made an exception for this because it was great to see Michael finally getting a shift on.. 😬 Only joking of course! the actual volume of work and attention to detail is genuinely inspiring especially when seen condensed down into an hour. You're doing brilliantly and make a great team, looking forwards to seeing your progress. Very well done 👍🏼

[@DreamofaHive]

What a great yearly update! You have achieved so much - but how did it get to be a year already? You have put in so much hard work to get down to the bare bones, and the exciting stuff is starting. I had forgotten that you clacked the back of your head (TWICE!) and feel bad for laughing (again haha) Pat yourselves on the back and enjoy the fact that you never have to chip that render off again, or cart it around in bags lol Well done, I am certainly looking forward to year 2. Onwards and upwards :)

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Oh, thank you SO much! And thank you for all your lovely comments and support along the way ♥️♥️♥️ P.S. definitely the best outtakes so far 🪜 🤕

I really love watching you work away and do such a wonderful job as I sit in my comfy chair in California BUT, I do worry that you are breathing in all that dust and mold because you are not wearing a mask.

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Thank you so much ☺️ hopefully that's a lot of the dusty work done now 👍🏻♥️

Great work but can’t understand why you took so much down it looks like it was in good nick 🤷‍♀️ ha, love the pointing looks lovely 🥰

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Haha... Don't be fooled! We have saved a lot of what we could though so as much of the original stuff will be going back in, minus the termites 😅 thanks so much 💛

[@LindaThorpe-v2h]

Do you think you should be wearing a mask 😮

[@ruthnoronha8206]

There’s nothing about Portugal or most of these videos that makes me think oh how cool this would be. The best, dust, the age of these structures and the immense amount of work. Maybe my life in Canada is so good I think most of you are completely insane.

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

🤣 brilliant. I have to say, I think anyone taking on a renovation like this is clearly a bit crazy! But, we love it 😊 thanks for watching!

[@Bernie5172]

must have been a mammoth job building that house with those small stones may have taken 20 years to build it

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

I know! It's incredible isn't it 😍

[@billyinwaves]

It's such an amazing property and you two work well as a team, producing fascinating videos. Michael works at something physically just like me, and I was fully into the episode where he installed all those floors beams on his own. I was also glad when you got some of that Portuguese yellow scaffolding, after seeing all that ladder work on the walls. It's also good to see stuff coming back together after a whole year of demolishing and chipping old plaster off walls. It'll be even better to finally see each room come together, one at a time. We can see it will eventually be a characterful and classy home. I can also anticipate that one headache will be to repoint al those schist walls because, unlike with granite stone, the schist flakes are so thin, meaning lots of cracks to fill. On the plus side, with so many walls to do, you'll soon be an expert on how to do this faster! Or have you thought about lime plastering them instead - or some of them? That would bring more natural light into the darker rooms. Just a thought.

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Thank you so so much 🙂 it means a lot! Know what you mean about the schist stone...! It's going to take some doing. We might break up some of the walls with some lime plaster but hopefully the pointing will brighten them up a bit too. We'll have to experiment a bit! Thanks again ☺️

Olá meus amigos fiquei encantada com este vidio . Fizeram um trabalho excelente a Beccy tambem está de parabens ela tambem dá uma grande ajuda. Fico preocupada de nao usar máscara essas poeiras podem fazer-lhe muito mal tenha muito cuidado. A sua casa é enorme vai ter muito trabalho pela frente mas tenho a certeza que a casa vai ficar linda . Nunca vi uma pessoa como o senhor tem uma capacidade incrivel porque é um trabalho muito complicado mas já vi que para si nao é muitos parabens. Eu adoro ver nao é nada chato pelo contrário é muito gratificante eu nunca tinha visto um trabalho destes e eu já percebi que quer mesmo uma casa de pedra. Muito obrígado por partilhar e nao vou perder um unico vidio. Que Deus os abençoe grandemente 🙏🏼 Thank you very much ❤❤

@PortugalonaPostcard yes I can see that.. in my next life I want to be an architect..that what I was to shy to learn in this life.. 😆 I'm 56 now emigrated from Switzerland 🇨🇭 in 2013, have the last 8 rescued dogs.. and want travel when i retired..was I was in 2009 because of memory losses 📉.. but with the real retirement I do travel whit my husband around Costa Rica 🇨🇷.. I married him in 2014..ä lol 😆 he married me too.. lol.. if that make sense.. o dear.. 😆.. first I must pay further my bank mortgage until hm.. until 8 or 7 years, what is not that long.. then we can start a new chapter.. slow down..but not too much.. my last dream I have is an RV to travel.. in the moment, in Costa Rica 🇨🇷 they are not seen so much..I would say non 😆.. but in some way I would it make happen 😉.. anyway I wish you two..3..the best.. love greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷 ❤️ Karin Ruth Riz ❤️

Renovating an old stone home, especially in a place as scenic as Central Portugal, is a challenging but rewarding endeavor. A one-year timelapse of such a renovation project can capture the transformation of a weathered and historic structure into a rejuvenated home full of character and history.

[@PortugalonaPostcard]

Thanks so much ♥️

[@sergiosapo2019]

Olá Theo e Bee, felizmente nada está perdido nesse lindo lago, mas essa relva semeada não vos vai ajudar muito, o vosso problema, uma vez que é estrutural, uma ideia que vos dou é, uma vez que ainda tem muitas árvores queimadas era fazer uma parede, muralha com troncos e acompanhar com terra, essa muralha basta colocar uns troncos bem enterrados na vertical e depois encostar outros na horizontal e acontanha-los com terra, do outro lado planta árvores para ajudar a suster a estrutura do lago. Árvores como choupos são árvores que gostam de terrenos húmidos e crescimento mais rápido. Ao colocares pedras não ajudam muito porque o espaço entre elas são criados canais perfeitos, para a água se infiltrar. Forte abraço para esta grande dupla❤

[@KarolinaDobrowolska]

Wow stellar transformation!❤ What might have the barrels in the cellar been used for?
