  1. In Brazil, this reinforced concrete belt is very common to support the entire construction. You could have taken absolutely every brick it wouldn't fall. The iron beam is completely unnecessary, as the reinforced concrete belt already has four iron rebars inside.

  2. You should treat all your raw wood with preservative that kills any wood boring insects before any finish treatment if you really want them to last longer in Portugal. That chunk of wall you put into the previous doorway is a disaster waiting to happen. You need to cut out the bricks that should overlap into the existing wall to tie them together. Also, you need to wet the receiving surfaces of the bricks before cementing them in place to keep them from drawing out the water and drying out the cement too fast. The entire holes in the hollow clay bricks, not just their ends should have been filled. You need a structural engineer to correct the safety issues with your rebuild/renovation of the ruin.

  3. bruh, Im a marblestone worker and let me tell you that window frame is gonna last a year or two at best before it breaks. you need to pour the cement before you place stones on top. the cement needs to be semi wet when you place the stones, that way they will have good support. watching this was like seeing a house being built starting from the roof. oh and the marble stone should be placed inside and outside the window frame AFTER the window frame has been put in place… otherwise the temperature changes will make the materials warp and air/wind will go through whatever "seals" you installed (if you even did that) you literally did everything upside down and backwards

  4. I’m a retired structural engineer and following your videos. I would NEVER stay or live in this abode. It’s a house of cards. Too many structural issues to list. Be safe. This is a serious accident waiting to happen. Not a matter of if, but when.

  5. After this what is the next project power wise i have seen geo, helix turbines and large solar arrays also summer wise it might be smart to look into earth ships and maybe dirtbag housing for eletronics storing food wise you could go deeper for food storage of fresh produce
