A few weeks ago we set ourselves a challenge. Could we complete the first fix electrics and first coat of hemp lime plaster in every room on the ground floor of our Portuguese farmhouse?
Let’s cue the timelapse and some inspirational music and find out.

👍👍
Whatever doesn't kill you makes you strong. I'm proud of you.
Excellent video, as always, and thank you for reminding me to to listen to Metamorphosis by Philip Glass, which your music reminds me of. Cheers.
A Merry Christmas and a blessed, healthy, New Year 2023.
What a great end to a year. Project goals are a wonderful tool to keep you on schedule but not the end of the journey. The walls and the teamwork seem to work out well, you guys are still laughing and talking to each other. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, looking forward to a Happy New Year and can’t wait to see what tasks/project make the list for 2023. Thank you so much for sharing!
Well done! It looks amazing, and must be such a boost to have accomplished all this. Lots of hard work in that. Also, that shot of the house with the citrus trees on either side is absolutely perfect. Such a pretty scene.
Great job guys, you really do deserve a rest! Such a lovely finish already to your downstairs 🙂 Merry Christmas to you both and a very Happy New Year. Jane & Mark x
Nice work, Feliz Ano Novo!
Blessed Merry Christmas to both of you
Celebrate anyway, you’ve earned it.
Amazing work❗️ it looks so much better and really like the lighter hue. Congratulations‼️🌲
Merry Christmas guys from a very warm Sydney 🇦🇺
Hello guys. Just a thank you for posting your videos this year. I enjoyed most of them and hope you'll continue. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Great work. Happy Christmas and new year to you both. Have a good rest, plenty of booze and food. See you 2023 😍😎🇫🇷
Lovely to see all the progress. Merry Christmas.
Very well done.
Massively well done on smashing your goal, and huge congratulations on getting so far along with the restoration of your house.
Well done guys 🎉🎉🎉
whatever quantity of wine you guys drink is certainly worked off 😁
So glad your taking a break enjoy the time off
Excellant job on the walls
🐶👍
(beautiful music)your hands have literally touched every inch of your house…take a break and blessings to you both. (beautiful music)
Hey guys have a good CHRISTMAS season and happy new year .
Nice wrap and summary. Like the contrast between the music and the pace of work. Thanks for the update on the change in the material selection, incremental price increase, technique preparation and time saving. Downstairs is looking drier, warmer and brighter. Any before/after measurements for room humidity, temperature, brightness? This with just 1 layer of plastering, with large holes and cracks filled.
Amazing transformation already. Go rest & celebrate.
LOVE the music!
I wish you take a good vacation. You deserve it.
Holy moly , you're like the beavers constructing a dam by the river 😲
You can honestly say you have touched every square inch of your home. Great team work. I can't wait to see when it all completely finished. Happy Hoildays. Take a needed break you guys deserve it.
the plaster really takes the walls from looking rough to looking much more finished.
Trying to learn British English, as compared to American English Is shattered worst then knackered? Have a Happy Christmas look forward to your work in the New Year
Congratulations guys! Happy Christmas and have an awesome New Year! Looking forward to seeing your home improvements on your journey! Take super care, Laura 🎄🎄🎄❤️❤️
Asking for a friend, with the new mixing of the hemp plaster now not generating heat could you use the cement mixer to make it easier on your back??
Parabens!!! Looking great! Well done.
Well done, enjoy your Christmas,you deserve a good rest.
👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Congratulations. I know hard it can be, but once the mind is set it goes faster. We watch content and wonder why people "get nothing done" but there so much more to life. That's why we all need encouragement, goals and accountability. Putting it up on YouTube helps.
I wish some handy volunteers could step up & help you out. Help you get a bit farther on in your reno.
Great work! Just wondering you were experimenting in earlier video between 1 and 2 hemp to 1 quicklime. What was working best before ye switched to using hydrated lime?
Happy holidays, Merry Christmas Kylie and Guy.
Do enjoy your break, it's well deserved. Be safe and see you both in 2023.
Cheers!
I think a well deserved rest for Christmas and New Year is needed for you both, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and hope to catch your new stuff soon, toodles
You two are amazing. Congratulations and happy holidays. Can't wait to hear about your plans for 2023. Enjoy your break.
Happy Christmas holidays. That looked like hard work but you persevered.❤❤
Merry Xmas 🎄!!!
Well Done now go on the piss lol😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Watching you work, while taking a break from my "Christmas work." While yours is very physical, mine is reading barely legible type from 70 yr old recipe cards that were my mother-in-laws. We continue to use her wonderful recipes for Christmas cookies (and other things) so my extra gift to all of us is to create new cards we can actually read easily. I am using a previous Christmas gift (I love my Mac Book) to layout and type 4 at a time so they can be printed on card stock and I will have them laminated to avoid the horrendous staining that happened to the originals. My plan is to have an image of the original printed on the back of the "reprint" as a historical record. Dear Bea was an amazing cook and, perhaps reincarnation of, a pastry chef. This is the time of year we miss both our mothers most and do something to include the joy they added to our lives.
We wish you both a joyful and restful Christmas. May all your memories of this year be of pride in your accomplishments and your efforts in the future be as beneficial as ever.

I really want to wish you a merry christmas! Thank you for your effort in making these videos and sharing them. The progress on your house reno is really amazing and I wish you a lot of strength to keep on…
I really like the concept of the hemp/lime insulation but do you plan on plastering the walls smoothly with just lime?
Also, why did you choose to make the light switches stick out like a feature in the wall? White switches in white plaster are less intrusive, but it seems you chose to give the switches a more prominent appearance. Just curious.
Enjoy your well earned break.
