Those homes are truly a treasure trove and most likely a home of a parent of a child that migrated to another country. At some point I too will likely have to sell my parents or grandparents home. The thing you called a dungeon is actually an Adega. That room was the coolest in the home and was used to store wine, olive oil, and food. The wooden chest in the Adega is actually and old refrigerator that stored food burried with salt to cure the meat and keep it from spoiling. Loving the videos and your true enjoying of all things old. Keep them coming. You guys are great.

The round wooden thingy is upside down, it is the platform for the metallic round thing you put in, it is for for hot ashes, the ones that turn like charcoal after the wood has already burn for a while and is not smoky, to heat a room. It is call a brasero in Spain. It would go under a table with some big cloth close to your sofa, so you can keep your feet warm underneath the table. We use it electric now.

I'm thinking that if the older items are still functional, it would make it less expensive to keep them so that the feeling of a Portuguese house would remain. People who would want to rent a functional Portuguese experience rather than a totally updated and modern updated one. At least that would be my preference.

The copper pot in the attic is called "Braseira" and is used as a portable firepit, an old times heater. You put hot coal in there and the hexagonal wood frame goes underneath the wood round table like the one in the first living room, with the crochet cover on. In the winter people usually sit around that table with the Braseira and cover their legs with a thick table cover to keep the heat inside. It's a very efficient old way to warm yourself and heat the whole room where it's on.

Hello Theo, that platform with a hole in the center,( where the copper cup fits), is called in Portuguese "Braseira" and is intended to receive burning coals, to place under a table. You put the platform upside down...the flat part is up (for people around the table to put their feet on). In the hole you place the copper cup with burning coals. The table itself is round, and is covered by fabric that reaches the floor (it is called "Camilha") and each person, when sitting, gets up the cloth to place their feet on the platform. There were also electrical "braseiras".

Braseiras were used under large dinner tables during winter at dinner time, or while the family gathered around the table for a nice “serāo” Stories were told, cards were played or the day’s events were discussed. The long table cloth would keep the warmth from dispersing. That is how I remember we used it at our home during the 1950’s. It was really nice and warm.

Renting it out to locals is also an option, especially when they are being squeezed out of the property market. The house is too small for a multi-family, the one 'bedroom' has no window, it will take some rearranging and to do properly will need a fair bit of investment. From Theo's comments it sounds like they want to slip it. The boy needs a project and can reinvest on another house, using his new found skills. Personally, I think he should stick to chicken coops, who wouldn't want one like the palace he built. Love it! Want it!

Normally these kind of houses are in more secluded smaller villages a bit further away from main cities where the majority of the people are older as the younger moved away to the bigger cities where is more work. You'll find hundreds of them in Alentejo and in the North of the country also, they are very cheap compared to houses in the bigger cities. Normally they are very dated houses that need a lot of renovation and loads of them are sold fully furnished like this one because the owners or pass away or moved into a home and the next of kin do not want any of it. Depending on the area, you can find a full furnished 2 or 3 bedroom house for as little as 30 000 euros, some need a lot of work but most of them are livable and just need modernisation.

You could even establish a business in the village that would employ many who have been displaced in these horrible globally economic times.

Lovely house, you both have an eye for detail. The item in the attic Theo is a lampshade. It would hang on chains. Bea I think you should reserve one room to display the old artifacs you have, it would definitely interest anyone who likes history. Good luck with your renovation. And if its a patch on your barn Conversion it will look amazing. ❤

The little stool is something sheperds used to bring with them since it's very light. In town houses it was frequently used to sit by the fire since it wouldnt set on fire easily and wouldnt get too warm.

First of all I want to say it's so great to have Bea back taking part in the video and looking so well & excited about your village house. Where others may see junk you both see beauty and your enthusiasm is so catching. Can't wait to see the progress as it happens. God bless x

@ 21:43 is a "Braseira" it was used in winter to put red hot embers in the metal part and the people put the feet in the wood part to warm up during winter :D actually, you put the wood part upside down

Great side project. It is a true gem. I guess a little tour of the village would be nice. It sure seems nice to have another thing to share your imagination on. I know that you can get burned out if all your focus is on one thing. Love all the hidden treasures and glad you’ve got a place for friends and family. I’m sure that not everyone wants to enjoy the rural lifestyle but still want to visit you. Thanks for sharing!

The new project is incredible - I would definitely appreciate updates as you work on it. I think the window in the door between the two halves of the kitchen is for ventilation - fresh air in summer to dissipate the heat from the cooker and heating for the back part of the kitchen in winter. It’s a shame there are no balconies on the upper floors - many town houses in hot climates have them. It sounds like you’re going to flip the house but have you thought about using it for an AirB&B?
