The windows have glass! The stone reveals are done and digging out the problematic roof valley

[@tonycosta3302]

I know it is a painstaking and time-consuming process, but the stonework looks great. You would never know it wasn’t built like that from the start.

[@jenh9252]

11,000 subscribers well done!

[@pamela5568]

Well, I have to say that Tilly is the first dog I’ve heard of having an obsession with getting in a wheel barrow. That would be something to see I think. You noticed your chickens knew about the eagle flying over, but your cats probably hid as well. Windows are looking good

[@patriceogrady9763]

Or you could get a gosling that once full grown will be a protector for the chickens. The raptors won’t mess with a goose.

[@FincaLife]

We have thought about getting a couple of 'guard' geese

[@doreenzahra1719]

Beautifully done amazing well done

[@Albrecht_von_Preussen]

Even a small scaffolding can make a big difference in these situations! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FincaLife]

Yes, it comes in extremely useful

[@Rickilyn]

As always, how you can see such beauty in the stone walls and the holes in the walls and turn them into windows and doorways. So beautiful.

[@mafish7962]

Have a good week 🍻🍻🐶☀️☀️

[@holymoly6829]

Just saw a comment and checked it out I thought you’d have way more subs I’ve been with you since the yard and outside door installation Wow what’s people missing I’m very surprised indeed Your community has got a job of work to do Sharing and getting the numbers up 👍👍👍💕🕊️

[@FincaLife]

Thank you so much. Several others have said the same...

[@gkanderson92]

Throughly enjoyed the video, as I do all your videos. Windows look magnificent. Must be a great feeling having those holes filled in. Just remember that one used to be a doorway so I imagine it will be alot warmer this winter.

[@FincaLife]

We're surprised at the difference it has made already. Much more than expected.

[@davidstoddard9160]

I myself have never done stone work, but I have watched alot of others doing it, and one thing I notice is so important to have a flat edge where you are butting up against a door or window frame, and yet some consistant space for pointing is necessary too. The inside of a stone where we dont see doesnt seem to matter at all. I am sure you will get it right, if you just hang in there as you have already been doing.

[@FincaLife]

lol, thanks. I usually get it right but still learning, even after over 30 years of practise :)

[@patriceogrady9763]

Sharon, love your new fringe!

[@sharonwhyler9942]

Thank you 😊

[@troothseeker7312]

Looks fabo Andy your such a great working team making rubble into a Lovely ❤️Home🙌👏👏👏🙌🌈

[@digger8090]

Andy, you could put a camaflauge net over the hens house so they cannot be seen from above

[@troothseeker7312]

Great Idea😊

[@FincaLife]

They are fine. There probably isn't enough space for a big bird of prey to land and take off again

[@CynthiaEvans-i2f]

Fine job on the windows! ❤

[@frankbosboom6993]

Hi Andy, just an idea for you with the upcoming huge amount of pointing, an appliance to attach to your drill for grouting is available on Amazon.This will save you a lot of time and probably muscle pain. Hope to help and keep up the good work. Cheers Frank from Holland.

[@FincaLife]

Thanks. We have tried several things in the past but they just don't work effectively on random rubble stone walls

[@DanSmith-v4l]

That man can fix anything.

[@FincaLife]

but only when it comes to old stone buildings

[@holymoly6829]

What about that then Andy & Sharon Building Works Home Decor Landscaping Gardening Keepers of Menagerie and everything else in between Its a pleasure tuning into your projects See you next time indeed 👍👍👍👍

[@FincaLife]

[@johanneslaven2018]

Looking good, its coming along well done

[@BriefTransit]

Windows look amazing and wonderful stone work as ever. Good luck with the roof channel!

[@evegalatis]

Good job! Looks great! Filling in the wall takes time but it's beautifully done1

[@murdomacinnes6176]

👍Cool man 🍻😎

[@Mark-F-Hopper]

Brilliant guys. Onwards and upwards!

[@mireillederamburedutheil8827]

Super travail soigné bravo vivement la prochaine vidéo merci

[@Roberto-b1g]

👊💯nailed again. Progress before winter time. Do you need to build a new gutter so that water not enter the building anymore

[@FincaLife]

Coming up on Thursday :)

[@Juanfernandez-sm8jl]

Thank you 😊

[@annievlachos7880]

New window in place bravo ,very good job done ...as usual ... I think the trees are greener ,after the rain do you have almonds this year .?

[@FincaLife]

Very few almonds this year as the rain came a bit late. No olives either for the second year on the run. Hopefully it will be a better harvest next year. The price of olive oil has doubled this year!

[@mariadange06]

🪟🪟❤👏

[@coby6417]

🌟👏👍🍀💐

[@martinjames3950]

Why did you not put a larger window in to give more natural light?

[@FincaLife]

To keep the original character of the building plus under the terms of our restoration project we must retain the original dimensions of the building

[@davidstoddard9160]

Wondering why you dont just put a metal or plastic conduit for the internet wire to go thur, and if you put it on the side, where the wire was you can just leave it or move it later, and if you leave an indent on the conduit you can just point over the conduit and not have to ever take it out.

[@stephengrimmer35]

Seriously guys, I wouldn't use the window frame (especially pine) to support anything, even a few stones. Insert a stressed concrete lintel, then hide it with a NEW olive wood beams, build it around a ply box to frame dimensions, THEN fit the window. Next time eh?

[@FincaLife]

How to say 'I know nothing about traditional building techniques' without saying 'I know nothing about traditional building techniques' This place has been here for over 150 years without any of your concrete (stressed or otherwise) and the supporting lintels are almond, not the window frame. It's been rebuilt as per the original and now will be good for another 150 years, eh?
