The paver with the ladybug is a Dutch concept to draw awareness to pointless violence, bullying and aggression. How interesting that it founds its way to Portugal! They are placed all over the country near schools, stations and municipalities etc. The ladybug was chosen as they represent love and luck!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

Oh wow! We had no idea that there was a meaning behind this and used to symbolize something so important.

[@anneliesjoss]

The previous owner was from the Netherlands 😉

[@eleanorcramer7986]

The previous owners were Dutch I believe. They also brought the clay, maybe to Make more ladybug tiles?

[@taliasya2273]

Thank you for that information!

[@mnmlro]

Quick thought: you should create a book with all the stories you heard about this mill. It'll be a nice thing to give away to the next owner if you ever sell or just a nice document to share with the local council or if you plan on receiving field trips from schools around Portugal. It'd also be a nice thing to pass on to your children if you'll never move. These tiny bits of history tend to be lost and the more I grow old the more I appreciate these nuggets.

[@goulash75]

With a building that old, you are never an "owner" but a custodian for the time being, and I love that you are approaching the renovations in this way. You are putting your own touches on it, while at the same time, honoring those that came before you. This alone says you were the right people to take on this mammoth project. Kudos to the both of you.

[@nisar8009]

I’m so glad they aren’t covering all of the walls in plaster. I love the look you’ve chosen for the interior of the mill. The history is so interesting and important. It’s amazing how much larger the area looks now that everything has been moved out from the main room! It’s going to be so beautiful!

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

The old stone walls are charming and add so much character. There is no way we could. ✨🏰

[@debradelpazzo2619]

@@Mrandmrsadventure will you be sealing the old stone to cut down on dust when you need to brush them off? It already looks so beautiful and charming! ❤

[@gafairbanks2434]

​@Mrandmrsadventure I love the fact you both will let contractors add their artesian flares to the project. More historical preservation for the future tours of our children/ peoples. The Mill is a history lesson in itself. 💜 A future book perhaps?

It's incredible how quickly projects get completed with a skilled & experienced crew of hardworking tradesmen.

[@ГаляЧміль-з1п]

At least two of the masters are Ukrainians.

[@maganalia]

I love watching them do their craft.

[@mango8918]

This is one of the most transformative episodes yet. It is all coming together. An uncluttered space is a beautiful space. For the first time I can really see how amazing your home is going to be. I think it should be featured in "Better Homes and Gardens". I know you still want to travel some in the future, but I don't know if I would want to leave the peace and beauty of your castle.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

we wonder the same thing! a happy, peaceful "problem" we are ok with working through 🥰🙏🏰

[@adapa22]

When you are finished can you send me those Ukrainian builders to my house? They are awesome! And cheerful as well … your mill is looking great! The flowers and the kittens give the house a homey vibe 🥰😽🌷

[@Camey71073]

Watching these guys work is just amazing. They are amazing at what they do. Love the aesthetic you guys have chosen. The artistry involved with their work is just😮. It's all coming together so well. I think the ladybug tile should def be a feature somewhere Entryway, patio, kitchen, somewhere. I like the TV above the door idea.

[@earthkeyper]

That opening shot was gorgeous. It's a long journey to completion, but then all of sudden it's seems you'll be standing in your completed achievement. 😺

[@eldcar72]

U guys have the best crews working for u.. U must be impressed with the crews work ethic.. Everything is looking great.. See u next Sunday!!!

[@rosewardale159]

Loveeee that youve kept stone and added plaster, gives it so much more character, it truly is going to be magical! The small piece of glass for the mill stone a light shining under it would be amazing☺ Those guys are worth their weight in gold for the work theyre doing! Takecare of each other. Love Rose xx

[@moniqueblondel5829]

It’s amazing to see how fast and nicely the guys are working. Now we are able to guess what your home will look like. I’m very impatient to see the achievement. I remember how wild and frighten the cats were and now they get into the van and even sleep with you. It’s a good thing that you adopted us, I think they are precious companions. 👍🇫🇷

😻 They sure are!

Each week the mill moves closer to being livable. Unique touches and accents are starting to be revealed.

[@lacylobdell7455]

Have you considered putting a small hidden light inside of the mill stone before you put some glass over the hole? To illuminate it and make it a feature

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

LOVE THIS IDEA ✨💡✨

[@zitagabriel3978]

Thoroughly enjoying your videos! Love the progress made and the transformation in the water mill. Love it, it has so much character!

You don't want a TV that high up. I did and regretted it

[@katesummerlin]

Definitely hard on the neck having a TV that high. Maybe they can have some sort of curtains to cover the TV when not in use. Or a pull down screen from the ceiling that essentially acts as a facade to cover that section of the wall where the TV is mounted.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

@@katesummerlin That's a creative idea to put curtains 😊

[@mariadange06]

You could build a curved wooden seating bench to go around the big watermill protrusion next to the mill table for your morning coffee ;)

[@Bindismom]

Love it all! So many important choices to be made it’s a bit mind boggling to me, but you two are the perfect people for this important transformation. I am constantly amazed at the talent and superb craftsmanship of the men working there. This has just been such a wonderful channel to follow and I look forward to each Sunday. Hugs and love to you and the kitties.🤗👍👍🥰🙏

[@judischarns4509]

I absolutely love the way you are getting that plastering done. That band of rocks exposed in theater room is wonderful. That river clay will be a good coating on some of the surfaces too. I think it could be sculpted into the house in a myriad of ways. That of course can wait until much later. When you transfer it to the new containers keep some out to play with.

[@Mrandmrsadventure]

yes, yes, YES! You "get" it and us 🤗😘

[@dorothyallen3614]

@@Mrandmrsadventure You might consider getting a Muriel painted on that big hump in the kitchen area, maybe have painted terraces, native wildflowers and trees, the river bed n stream flowing, even cliff behind the mill, the kitties, your dragon garden; you can see where I’m going with this; make it your bright cheery place to start the day. I just feel it’s a special part of the mill and a scenery artist could add the special touch to the HUMP😂❤.

[@debbiebarnard2922]

So many good choices for good reasons! Saving the history for future generations. Well done!

[@DanielPinto-oh4yb]

A lot of plastering to do...btw in Portugal we use 3 diferent stages of plaster inside walls 1 chapisco or very liquid scarse coat of cement plaster to improve adhesion 2 mortar plaster with a proper sand to regularize and straighten the imperfections of the walls 3 the finish plaster with fine sand and in some cases lime stucco plaster to let the wall became smooths like silk ...after the finishing plaster if you use a good quality plastic paint the walls will turn beautiful...

[@trevorhhall7497]

You must be very happy at all the work that's been done...it looks amazing to see the inside becoming a home you will absolutely love..

This is my favorite video to date. Watching the rooms come together with plaster.....AMAZING

[@hipperdanjou]

The tile at 6:18 is from the Netherlands. These where introduced in 2001 and placed in all different cities to remind people about acts of violence that happened. People getting bullied(around school areas) or people getting seriously injured because of violence (around bars in city centres) They are called "Lieveheersbeestje tegen geweld"

The tradesman did the a great job. It would be awesome to have all of their names inscribed somewhere in the house - even if it would be on a piece of wood hanging - The Hands that built our Home. Its a beautiful way of gratitude for future generations...and a great conversational piece for guests when they enjoy your home.
