We’ve been busy for some time working away in the house and finally have something to show for it. Join us for the first part in a series of renovation videos as we start the process of laying a new floor in our old Portuguese farm house.
To lay a limecrete floor we first need to dig out to accommodate all the layers. That meant digging out 400mm (over a foot) of earth and clay and moving it bucket by bucket.
Join us for some good old fashioned digging timelapse and an explanation of what a limecrete floor is and why we’re installing one in this old wine making room.

Loving what you two are doing with the downstairs room. Appreciate the hard work you've done. Any chance of sharing a list of the materials planned for the flooring?
If the pole was not structural why was it there?
The floor looks very dry as you are digging it out so I guess your trenches took care of most isf not all of your damp problem
Love your videos, and watching how your plans work out. Plus you have the hardest working Wife I have ever seen, and also the most skilled woman. Hope you have enough down time to recover from your labors…I have binged watch all your videos…it’s a easy watch…even though she seems to work harder consistently…keep up the great work…I know it’s no small task
If companies are not contacting you to advertise, your butt is not that big. Your fine!
Have you considered replacing the post with steel beams to support the ceiling? It’s ugly.
Love love the content! Love love the way you present the content, perfect time lapse use (in my layman’s eye), the integrity, the humor, the way you work together. Chapeau!! And great entertainment for me who has already lived a live of diy 😉
Great work as always ! 💪
Cool, back in the house. Really looking forward to the ground floor renovation, very curious how it will turn out. Has lots of potential to make a really cozy stylish downstairs!! 💪💪💪
Hey guys, you do realise barrels are made to roll?🤔😉😁
You two are amazing, !!! informative videos, always worthy of watching….. thank you both ..
Ha, I love a nice wooden pole myself. I'm glad you decided to leave it.
Sorry to be contrarian but the pole should go . Pls don’t take offense.
Would be amazing to build your dineing room table around the pole. Hello from Australia. Your butt is not big. Lol
Love watching you both. Kylie, you make us women proud. A note about butts: here in USA big butts (booties) are becoming more and more a sign of beauty, thanks to Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez and many others. I agree, the camera makes things bigger, but a booty is something to be proud of. 😃
I think your butt is perfect! I'm jealous of anyone with a little junk in the trunk. I really enjoy the time lapses on the tedious parts and the thorough explanations of what you are doing on the rest.
It’s not that nice a piece of wood. It needs a lot of tlc before it looks even half decent.
Thumps up 4 the humor
What a job!
Amazing you two
I’m so impressed with your engineering skills. You to work so hard, and it’s so gratifying to see your projects come to fruition. Stay cool this summer.
Kylie does feel fulfilled when it comes to a big bit of wood.
This is why she married you Guy!
Guy what are you like at building ladders ? That hole you're digging is getting deeper by metres. When Kylie said 'be honest", your reply should be 'it is just the way I like it!!!!!' My husband has found himself on several occasions with no wood at the bottom to build a ladder! lol. You are incredible workers and obviously a fabulous team. Well done
Being honest.. its great 😂😂
Say the right thing Guy 😅🤣🤣🤣 but"t" good job though 👏 👍 👌
There is never a right answer!
Guy! How dare you! lol.
If you have to ask is that the right answer, you best move to the dog house. 🐶
You didn't need to explain why you were digging, everyone knows you are looking for gold!
Almost made it through the whole video without a sexual inuendo but it didn't last long! "I like a good piece of wood" and "butt size relative to wide angle lens ". Shockers, the pair of you!
Love your channel and sense of humour.
Always enjoy your work! I learn so much from you! You’re such hard workers.
Very pleasant to watch you guys. Keep it up!
Lol, a good piece of hard wood always looks bigger than it is!
Loved the music… made the whole thing look and sound like a major archaeological dig..
cheers from Oz🇦🇺
These areas under the main room where wine was made and stored were called "adegas" (cellars), like the one you explained. But the others are called "lojas" (shops) and it was where the ancients kept food for cattle, all utensils for work in the fields and agriculture and store cereals, potatoes, beans, etc, etc.
Good work, great workers, fantastic content, as always.
It’s so fun (and somehow relaxing) watching OCD people doing excavation!
Girl, I don’t know how much you eat or drink , but with all you do you should not weigh more than one hundred pounds! You, my love are a BEAST!
that woman might be worth holding on to ? she seems to work very hard, and is not too grumpy !?
You two are gorgeous 😍 and such hard workers! I'm sure it will look amazing when it's done. Love from Australia 💞
That's going to be a very small kitchen, could u make a round table to go around the pole
