We've been working away on the lounge renovation over the last three months: plastering, plumbing, lime washing, tiling and more. Since we've shown a number of these things in previous videos we thought we'd put them all together into one long video to show how this room has transformed over the last few weeks.…

In this video we start work on the new bathroom plumbing, running hot and cold water feeds up from the plant room, through the lounge ceiling and up through the concrete floor into the bathroom above. With a few obstacles to work around and a mid-way undo, redo, we always thought this project was…

Since December 2020 people have been obsessed with the pink toilet in our retro 1990s bathroom. After today's video, the famous toilet will be no more. It's kind of crazy to think that it's taken over three years for us to circle back to the bathroom renovation and finish what we started all that…

We've been cracking on with some bits and pieces projects downstairs in our Portugal house renovation. First up I mixed a bit of lime plaster to outline the pointed stone wall to start the process of blending it in. I also try my hand at upside down plastering in one of the doorway reveals. Stick…

Some time ago we installed a flushing toilet – a most welcome addition to our renovation project in Portugal (since we'd not had a conventionally working toilet for over two years). But, when we installed that toilet we knew the plumbing was temporary and we'd have to come back to redo it – and plumb…

We've been cracking on with some snagging and last minute finishing touches in the ~almost~ most complete kitchen. Some decorating, some filling and protecting the 80 year old exposed wood with hard wax oil. In between ticking off all these renovation tasks off our todo list we'll take you on a short tour of…

After three years of extensive renovation works, we're no where near done but we *are* completely exhausted. After taking some time off over the holiday season we realised we weren't just tired or tired of the project but burnt out and in need of more rest and a change of pace for the future. …

In a mad dash to end 2023 on a high note, we've finished the kitchen floor and tackled a couple of other last minute projects so we can move in to one room of our house just in time for a small celebration at the end of the year.

Our kitchen diner has plastered and limewashed walls, lights and power. But there's a major missing ingredient for a functioning room: a proper floor. In this video we aim to fix that. Join us for some tiling fun (and a few late nights) as we try to get one room in our house ready…

Work continues on our Portuguese farm house renovation and we now have lights and working sockets in our kitchen dining room. Join us for more experiments, trial and error and a bit of undoing and redoing as we try to work out how to show off our feature "nooks" to the best of our…
