Impressive work, your snug is coming together. The lime washing is remarkable in covering up the water damage.

[@sharondensmore5823]

Love that you are keeping the character of the old house as you do your wonderful restoration!!!

[@troothseeker7312]

Welcome Home! Hope your Mum & you had a Fantastic Chrissy & New🎊Year ✨So it pays to do your homework when renovating when replacing stonework/lime mortar, lime plastering & lime washing✨ 🌟Great Advice🤗🌟 Your Snug is really L👀KING F🤩BO🫶 The deep plum (if you can get the the tint mix right) would look beautiful on the Fireplace Wall, like an added feature bringing warmth to the eyes. Whatever you decide I know you will be happy as you have to live in your Home! Your such wonderful Humanitarians with taking care of GOD’s little creatures- maybe Midnight (for short MIDDY) 🌈🥰🙌👏👏👏👏🇦🇺

The house I am looking at next week is over 100 years old and judging from the pictures I've seen hasn't ever been modernised. It still has it's original terracotta tiles on the floor! I am thinking of going down the conservation not modernisation route. Like you said, there's not many untouched places left.

‘Sooty’ 😃😃

[@lisacraig4585]

She’s a Joan Jett❤with her attitude and black fur. That plum lime wash will be a knockout, Sharon.

[@holymoly6829]

I’m looking forward for Andy to start blocking up the doorway into the new bathroom Then your little den will only need the floor finishing Then moving on to next project 🤗🤗🤗🤗 Here’s to a productive 2025 👍👍

[@guadalupevee3828]

It looks better and more beautiful every minute.

[@pamela5568]

I wish I’d had your Fitville discount about a month ago when I ordered boots and house shoes. I love the house shoes that are fur lined and warm with good support. Haven’t worn the boots yet. Happy New Year

[@katefinnegan8129]

The snug is looking fabulous. Can’t wait to see if the 2 more packets of pigment does the trick for the fireplace paint. Always lovely to see you two. Thanks for the information on the lime Andy, I appreciate your knowledge. Sharon, your neighbor must be so happy he moved in next door to you as you have filled a great need in his rescue. Love of animals is so special. Have a blessed 2025.

[@venturingout4235]

Happy New Year 2025🎉

[@Moby79]

I always thought you guys were about soul❤️ Andy pretends he’s rock n roll..,but you both have roots!

[@barbarashapiro7499]

Perhaps Holly or Noelle for your Christmas season addition to the family? I've always had a soft spot for black cats.

[@Roberto-b1g]

Good to have the boss back on side 😊 it's going well 👌

[@coby6417]

Looks better every time 👍👏🌟🍀💐

[@charlenequinilty7252]

It’s great that you are restoring the ruin in a traditional way while making it comfortable to live in. You will be happy in the long run and I’m enjoying the journey.

[@robertshuler6797]

A possible name for your new kitty, Jetti oe Jettie. Since she is Jet black and a precious addition. Love your channel! The Finca is looking spectacular. Cheers from Columbia, SC USA!

[@patriceogrady9763]

I love licorice!

[@theresamcinnes8440]

U have done amazing with ur home ❤ How about Sooty for ur new addition to the family? 😻

[@user-bx5xf5ki8r]

Looking forward to seeing the plum on the fireplace Sharon! I know you will be closing in that doorway. A bookcase would be good in that area with a cabinet with doors on the bottom and shelves on top. Love the rustic old charm you have kept on the Finca. That’s why I enjoy watching so much.

[@vanessagray8604]

Happy New Year to you both. I love the fact that you are keeping the integrity of this lovely old property. It is turning into one heck of a beauty.

[@effie924]

Love your love of animals and how much and beautiful your home is coming along. Happy New Year!

[@donaldmackinnon5779]

Happy new year to you both, looking forward to seeing your future projects. Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉 1:21

[@Devon-r1f]

Happy New Year! name suggestion - Sooty 🖤🐱

[@heatherjohnston8946]

Happy new year to you both. I love watching your videos and I think the house is looking fantastic. I think a good name for a wee sweetie is Liquorice. Take care. xx

[@farmerconnie8172]

I like Mora, or Morita. Traditional names for black cats. Means either BlackBerry, or “The Moor one”

[@mariadange06]

Agnes 🐈‍⬛ name suggestion. Walls look so good once pointed.

[@sue7190]

Have you thought of trying to replicate the lovely colour of the old walls with the pigments? It looks lovely next to the white walls.

[@manfredpaul7937]

Lovely cat ...what about naming her Shadow or Hope

[@solamano7239]

Happy New Year to you both! Wishing you continued success with your home! It's looking lovely!

[@Moby79]

Christmas❤️

[@jenh9252]

Would the little cave be a good little bedroom for that lovely dog?

[@garyflint3781]

New cat Name suggestion - Whitewash !

[@Albrecht_von_Preussen]

[@ColliWobblers-d1b]

[@Ruthcatt]

Name .... remember sootie and sweet !

[@melgamelguinha9542]

Feliz ano!

[@bensouthwell1339]

Would a 'Damp Course' not help these old Spanish buildings perhaps Slate ? new cats name = Elsie

[@FincaLife]

lol, no. The problem ,probably 99% is condensation caused by incorrect materials used on solid (ie no cavity) walls. Google 'no such thing as rising damp'. The other 1% is probably caused by water ingress. Secondly, how would you insert a slate damp course in a 150 year old rubble stone wall that's 2 feet thick? There is no need. Look at any canal, with brick lined walls, bridges or even tunnels - They are not damp, even though they are sat in water! The only 'rising' damp is caused by the wash from passing boats. It's a very interesting and contentious topic. There are very interesting articles by Stephen Boniface and Peter Ward of Heritage House. Elsie is a nice name for the cat.

[@bensouthwell1339]

@@FincaLife I disagree rising damp is there for all to see in every part of the world. Anyone who disagrees simply take away the damp course or stack soil above the damp course of there house? 100% it is there just waiting to rise.

[@idapacheco7381]

Pietra or Jet

[@sue7190]

How about Rosie or Rosie Posy?
