Abandoned House in Portugal Renovation - 3 Year Timelapse

hello and welcome to Portugal which is normally a little bit nicer and sunnier and a little bit less gray and drizzly than it is today but it is the autumn in fact it is Tuesday the 17th of October 2023 and 3 years ago today we signed the papers and bought this house that you can see in the background now it had been abandoned for almost 20 years and needed a lot of work and that is what we've been doing for the last 3 years and so in this video we're going to try and show you almost everything that we've done to the house in that time we've also done a lot of land clearing we've got a nice veg Garden we've got a small flock of chickens but today we're going to be focusing on the house and we're going to show you everything we've done so far and at the end we'll show you what it looks like now so let me show you what we've been up [Music] to yeah it's been a while since someone's been here yeah three days Cherry three yeah this this was a family that Liv in okay was quite a rich family building with a bit of character it's got a bit yeah it's lovely Windows this is NI yep oh wow this is in much better condition than most isn't it she's the oh look at this my favorite color oh that's nice I mean yes the rooms are small rooms are small but this look like a perfect office yeah yes if there is another floor mhm this is very nice [Music] mhm this one is also around 60 or 75 is it yeah not so cuz it's just a smaller land it's a smaller land oh it's big holy and you have ni Big Stone malls big big stone walls oh wow all original you think yeah and it's and you have this side [Music] also that's not good there is a sink right there Safety [Music] First [Music] oh [Music] [Music] it just keeps going back and back and back here oh my goodness how is that even supporting anything no oh there's a hard piece there oh good so it's got this much I mean not here cuz this is all crap this is going to have to come out it's quite big ready yeah oh I got it yeah no worries it's a big thing got it you right got it okay yep on my arm y I got it you okay [Music] look at that mess yeah look at that [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] mess [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] all [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] w take today we're putting up a tent no today we're building our home for the next 6 [Music] [Music] months [Music] and this is why we're [Music] replastering [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] ah [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] n [Music] [Applause] [Laughter] holy crap I don't know what percentage of this has been eaten by bugs There is almost none of this [Music] left [Music] [Music] oh [Music] in case you're wondering we are going to be able to keep these doors we're going to do whatever we can to keep these cuz these have loads of character but they're much harder [Music] wood see if my arms that was infinitely easier than last [Music] time [Music] oh [Music] yeah all of this cleared couple of props just for some extra safety precautions got [Music] [Applause] it [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm getting an nauy shot good job you shaved your arms recently [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah [Music] [Music] w [Music] [Music] stop yep your [Music] way get down bit more bit more yeah and that's it good better than it's slipping the rocks that are coming out right [Applause] did not go well that's okay h [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] ah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] bloody [Music] orid y now is that the same as the red one you like to come and inspect check my work I don't know if you get a good sense of that you kind of see the the moist lime glistening in the morning [Music] sun [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so it's just a case of going through getting a bit on the tra and pushing it into the holes and of course we are not professional plasterers lime persons any of that this is very much a DIY job we've just worked out how to do it by doing it yeah a mess on my already well that's why we put the cardboard [Music] down so it's basically just a lot more of that it's not particularly difficult but it is a bit fly and very timec consuming I think we're going to get Kylie to have a go and see how she gets on then we'll probably just stick the time lapse on so you can watch this work I mean I would just do it a bit slower in smaller sections than what you do getting the job done well why don't you try and lift some of it onto the tra and see yeah I don't have the coordination I don't know how to do that now is a great time to practice a few thousand people are watching how do you do that when it's like this and you kind of chop it all up then it doesn't stick together as well if you get a bit on there and you kind of tilt this towards you get a bit less then you can use this to kind of push it away and it balances on the end then when you drop it in the that starts to get it more sticky so now it's not going to fall off show me and then and then you can press in and up so it's like a this kind of [Music] motion oh this one's going to take a while to Lun there you go that works okay and then like that yeah perfect and try not of my floor you're going to be more worried about the floor [Music] h [Music] oh [Music] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] for [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] right Mark on this one what are we doing [Music] again we just score it around very gently bend it score it and bend it not too deep just enough there's a joke in there somewhere yes [Music] is [Music] [Music] h [Music] where [Music]

but it might be longer than that one thing we are hoping for in the very near future is a flushing toilet and we're crossing all the fingers toes and everything else that we might be able to have one room finished downstairs so that we can move in for the winter because you know that would be nice but we'll have to wait and see on that one so do stick around for future episodes thank you for
