It's time to finally tackle the dreaded concrete "mortar" that has been slopped all over our little stone house. Why did someone in the past make such an awful mess on such a beautiful old stone cottage? Who knows?! One thing we do know, WE HAVE TO FIX IT! So Victoria's picking up the SDS & chipping away at it. Whilst she's busy with that, Ricky's continuing with stone & brick work on the gable end.
LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Central Portugal & the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone home, setting up systems to grow some of our own food & finally restoring the 100+ year old farm house.
Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊

We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned off grid Portuguese farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful homestead for us & our two rescue dogs Teddy & Poppy.
We both agree that we’re not experts in anything that we do here, however we don’t let that stop us from giving it a try. We live our life by trying. We live our life by doing. We live our LIFE BY LIVING.

Victoria makes me proud to be a woman, shes tough but soft,hardworking, beautiful inside and out. Nurturing and good-hearted. Youre nice too Ricky 😅
-
I’ve watched the whole series and enjoyed your progress. The two of you are so natural and likable. You hooked me with the Poppy episode. How could I not follow such a couple after that?
-
Oh you guys the dogs are such sweethearts, watching them get the treatment for their noses and paws. I think they loved the attention and care. Very nice vlog. See you soon. ❤
-
Thank you! Thank you! .,.. I'm 83 years old, in Florida, USA and your POSITIVE, loving, music .... just great videos are so welcome on Sundays and I find that since I found them my Sunday chores after watching them have me doing them all with a smile in my heart and on my face!.... Thank you so much!

Don't you mind the people that can't appreciate the hard work you have put into the roof. I am pretty OCD and would hire you any day off the week. Your work is done to perfection! I truly love watching your videos. I think you guys make the cutest couple ❤. Greetings from South Africa 😊

When cutting stone and steel, a paper mask is a great way to keep your lung’s healthy. 😊

Said it before, but rescuing Poppy and giving her a wonderful 10/10, loving, doggy life is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in many a year. ❤

Ricky, I never doubted your roof plan. Everything you do and Victoria too, turns out just as you planned it to. Your hard work and perfection show your talents and learning skills. I always learn a lot from watching you two do your tasks and bring your dream cottage to life. I wish every one could relax a bit and wait till your done before they doubt your reason for doing things as you do.

Yes, a good-fitting respirator is a must, even when working outside, when mixing or removing silicates. Sadly, we know many people who have died from silicosis due to their previous employment handling such materials. The disease catches up to people later and cuts their life short. It's a rough ending. Also, a paper mask is not enough.
-
Strongly agree with others who’ve suggested adding masks to your safety gear. I know they get hot, but construction dust is no joke! And yay! you made balm! Spa day for the pups! Kudos on all the hard work! Have a great week and stay safe❤
-
I hope you will be pointing with lime mortar…the home can breath and also remove carbons dioxide from the inside! It lets moisture out and you won’t have damp bit…cement mortar will absorb water and you will have damp❤
-
Omg, that last bit with Victoria and Poppy!! So sweet♥️
-
YES THIS IS THE WAY TO CUT THE BRANCHES AROUND THE TREE . WITH AN AXE . I HAVE EIGHT FIELDS OF OLIVE TREES AND I DO THIS VERY OFTEN .........❤ 🇬🇷
-
It is wonderful to see you trying new things for the olive trees. Good luck, hope it works. You both are awesome. Watching from Canada 🇨🇦.
-
So loved how the dogs enjoyed their paw balm at the end 😊So sweet to watch! Great work on all your projects, exciting to see how the trees do too. You are full of good ideas!
-
Good luck with the replanted olive cuttings. And as others have said some additional safety equipment will have both long and short term benefits to your health and comfort.
-
No matter what job your doing always wear a good mask
-
I love the way you treat and love your dogs. They just ask nothing but love. ❤ My husband and i renovate 2 old houses some times we think it was madness but at the end it was so nice. You just go on you will come to the end. We live in Sout Africa and love your channel...my English not so good😅😊
