Stone House Portugal | We found DEADLY plants but LIFE (and work) goes on

[@annematten7218]

Your husbands right, all streams should be wibbly wobbly, nature never makes straight lines.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Ha ha! He'll be pleased to hear that

Hi from Switzerland

Hello from a sunny Portugal.

[@Hegen601]

Superb works ❤❤❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you very much 😊

[@bethintexas9678]

iI love seeing the stream run clear across the land in channels. I noticed a stone across where the pipe comes out. Maybe there's another water mine somewhere along there.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you Beth in Texas. There is a large tank from a water mine further up towards the small road that is also fed by a water mine. So you are right 😃

[@michellephilips8807]

Hi from France, Burgundy. Beautiful land and I love the big stones! I also would love to see the house, maybe a house tour? In and out? 😊 looks so pretty

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi new subscriber here just came up in my recommended so took a look at all your video's 😊 I am watching from Washington UK. Lots of hard work done and the land is slowly being tamed. Look forward to seeing more. 😊

Hi there in Washington UK. Great to have you with us and thank you for the lovely comment

Very old stone Wall and lime-mortar is a super work, that is a good cocktail for this so old house better than cement mortar. To make the joins between the stones, I allow myself to advise you the use of pouch for lime-mortar, as for the kitchen, and if there is not a lote.!! It exist some mortar pump with hose and pistol to deeply inject the mortar between the stones, this made of very clean and easy to clean joints. This square and conical metal roof could have been a place for the coal fire of a blacksmith, is there would be an anvil by chance ?? Running water on your property is a fortune.!!!!!! Bon courage and stay safe.👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Jean-Marie. Great to have you with us. Thank you so much for the useful information . Very good idea about the tool to inject the lime mortar. We'll have to look out for one. Maybe there was a blacksmith, we're not sure but someone definitely used it as a workshop.

Totally amazing… the stonework is stunning on the house & walled gardens.. going to be extremely cool to see how you transform the project. So keen to have a tour of the house

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi friend. Thank you so much. Great to have you with us.

[@Mimi2Two]

I love the sound of the moving stream ❤❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi there friend. We agree

[@onthebay66]

Love the stream and down the road when prioritized items are finished a rock wall on each side would be lovely.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi there. What a marvelous idea!

[@reniam6788]

Hi friends! So macth work, congratulations!! I cant wait to see the house renovations, we did a renovation in a stone house as well here in Greece, I love it, the feeling to live inside a stone house is amazing.Wish you good luck, to make true everithing you dream!!!❤❤❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi and welcome friend in Greece. You are giving us inspiration. You have been there and seen it through!Thank you so much for the lovely comments.

It certainly is 😀

Watching from Adelaide, Australia. ❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Kathryn in Adelaide. Great to have you with us.

[@rosemaryjasper1121]

It’s quicker if you do straight lines! Tinto could do twice as many channels in the same time it takes to do wibbly wobbly channels ! It’s quite amazing just how noisy the water is! ❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Ha ha. My thoughts exactly

[@icandivideos5743]

no straight lines in nature :)

[@AnneGregory-l5k]

Thé granit stone entrance that you moved looked great. I remember it being so tight to get to the parking. Every where looks fantastic. You have both worked so hard. Can’t wait to see more love to you both xx ❤

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much for those lovely comments. More to come next week 😄

[@gracemeneses9910]

[@rosemaryjasper1121]

You could use the tiles to make a temporary roof to the clay oven! How wonderful to be able to pick your own oranges!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thats a thought!

[@moniquearnaud8029]

Anita and Mik, what a lovely Garden. Hopefully you can get the water hemlock away... 🍀

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Philip and thank you. We will try 😁

[@magaanusha9799]

What an adventure!! So much fun and hard work but it will be very rewarding once all is done. Well, nothing is ever done in a farm. There is always more to do but you know what I mean. Great work guys!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you so much for your lovely comments. You are right about the work never being finished on a farm. Sounds like you know that from experience.

i love your sense of humor, watching from Portugal

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi there in Portugal. Thank you so much. Great to have you with us.

[@barbarakloise6790]

I just wonder where all those big giant stones come from that you see all over Portugal especially in the old homesteads. Are they all stone or are they a conglomermation and formed? It is hard to tell. But they really are beautiful looking.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi Barbara. Thanks for watching.The granite stones are found in many places in Portugal especially in central and northern Portugal. It's quite a mountainous country and there are lots of quarries. However building with natural stone is much less common now as it's very labour intensive. Some local houses are centuries old.

[@paulocosta2378]

In the past building stone houses was the cheapest way, because the materials (granite) is very common. Nowadays build houses in granite our other kind stone is very expensive. Because the cost of extraction and the lack of people with experience on that kind construction.

[@barbarakloise6790]

@@paulocosta2378 Yes I understand thanks

[@barbarakloise6790]

@@TeaAndTinto Yes I see that. Your place has the most big stones like that that I've seen of all the channels that I watch I see how mountainous it is around there and parts around Portugal but it is an amazing country. One channel I watch had a whole room of an old barn made out of those big giant same stones like along your driveway there that the guy had to cut the stone to make it wider. Just amazing place you have there and those giant stones! I'll keep watching!

[@TeaAndTinto]

Thank you

Why did you cut the citrus tree

[@TeaAndTinto]

We pruned the citrus tree, it was covered with brambles and ivy when we first arrived.

[@bevkirk1475]

Has your house been renovated? Great work on the land 👏. Watching from Leeds x

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi friend in Leeds. Thank you. The house needs renovating but some parts are habitable.

[@jopipi]

Don´t burn leftover wood. Cut it a wood chipper and put it on the soil. No CO2 to the air, more organics to the soil

[@TeaAndTinto]

We don't own a woodchiper but we like the idea

[@Rasputin-p4e]

Do you mind me askin if you got children. you are my age, i believed, nearing middle ages. Ive got 7 children. A third generation farmer.

[@TeaAndTinto]

Hi friend. Farming is a very difficult profession, so raising 7 children in addition the hard work has me in awe. My hat off to you. We have 2 adult children.

[@Rasputin-p4e]

@@TeaAndTinto you are right. I'm a Frenchman, by the way. I worked in construction for 30 years.. I'm a small time contractor. I do condominiums and houses. France nowadays is getting crazier. It's not safe anymore. There's drugs and violence. Streets are not safe compared to the 90s. Strange culture are introduced. My Homeland became a stranger to me. People are not the same. Three years ago, we sold our property and left for Christmas Island. My wife inherited a land. I'm a farmer now.

[@TeaAndTinto]

@@Rasputin-p4e Wow! What an adventure you have been on! That is a really brave move and sounds dreamy. We´ll look out for growing and building tips from you as we progress😀
