We are in the middle of renovating our house in an abandoned Portuguese village. More rocks for the wetland, building materials get delivered and we finally continue on the main house!
Stay tuned for more building content and why not hit the notification bell so you don’t miss it 😉 thanks for watching!
My name is Jasper and i bought a house in a Portuguese ghost town. Together with my dogs Zoey & Akira we show you the rebuild of our house and what it is like living the daily life in Central Portugal.

Aaah..I just saw them !! Nice lorry..here in Brazil that unloading would have been done by hand in our neck of the woods !!
Where are the bags of cement?
Sorry it’s not Duarte it’s Rudy doing the work
Geeese never seen you work at so many things yes. It was a pleasure to see you getting it done bud congratulations on efforts from you Duarte
How is possible that the local authorities in Portugal allow this ? In Italy you would be heavily fined , no architect ,no structural engineer no Health and safety ….I don't think in any third world country you could get away with this totally non compliant work
Hi Jasper & Co. Glad you have the cooler weather now. The wetland area is looking great. Rudy will be able to plant up his area outside his abode. Grow some veg and flowers.
Back to the roof jobs, your getting on with the task. Jobs again being ticked off your list. Zoe does listen to you, she just chooses when to listen….. Don't forget to drink water too, I know its cooler but your using engery,muscles and they need water. Stay safe. Have a chilled weekend. 😎
I think those pins from the scaffolding where the cross members attach are supposed to turned up and dropped to lock in, the way they are the cross members could fall out.
Nice to see the progress you've made so far. It's important to get the roof done before winter. Hope you can make it. Judging by the comments, there seems to be concern about the strength of the walls (or what's left of them). I like the idea of a separate roof on the bathroom. Hope you'll have some time off after the roof job which looks like a lot of work. You're nailing it! Be careful.
Thumbs up Jasper.
Howdy Jasper!! Just stumbled on your channel & have been binge watching your videos! It's great that you have some great volunteers to help your project reach fruition. Duarte is a real gem & it's great that you're teaching him in the remodeling arts. I can easily see how close the two of you are & it's wonderful. Keep up the great work, it's gonna be fabulous when you finish!!!
have Duarte order a cement mixer
Un abrazo.
Admiro ese bonito genio del dueño de la finquita. Me parece adorable.
The last 4 episodes from @Destino Portugal will teach you a lot Jasper. A cottage roof stripped and re-built in a matter of days, not months, by a true professional with tips on certain aspects

The roof just needs a hip to alter the angle of the pearlin you can look on the internet it will show you actually very easy 😎👍👍👍👍❤️🇬🇧
Check out Destino Portugals video on finishing his roof the gentleman doing the work explained some things
Glad to see you are starting on the roof. Once that roof is on you will be getting the the rest of the house done in no time.
Whose Rudy and are the 2 ladies still there
Hey! U Need sharp sand for that (areia lavada) that Yellow sand is for rendering! Please get some sharp sand só u get a strong mix with the cement! Good luck!
Says the old pole to wifi antenna: – "What are you doing today? And the antenna replies: "Hanging out!"
Love time lapse music
with the diagonal wall, the wall will have to go higher as the room gets narrower.
Should have a wooden wall plate so you can fix roof joists
to wall plate
Awesome work getting done 👏
You guys are on fire!
For me as a German the thin walls made of these "tijeles" look very dangerous. The stones are made of clay and air and the walls are very thin. Here it would be simply illegal, not only for reason of lacking isolation, but it looks also very dangerous if you think they have to carry a heavy roof. Did a structural engineer made any calculations about your house?
Great to see the house worj has started! still don't know why you don't poor a solid concrete beam along the top of each wall! instead of bricks! it will strengthen the wall and give a stronger roof, and wall roof bond.. Also think of all those roof tiles above each lintel/ window.. keep going guys..
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you all guys, maybe make a crans on top of the whole with rebar that makes the wholes much stronger to carry the roof, and this top beam make it in till this big whole where you took this middle out.put a other big beam over this one whole and let the long beam lean on the smaller with a makelaar under the long beam, I hope you can understand what I mean. I like some progress.
They would still be building Rome.
No need for a cement mixer?

You three are rockin it and I have to say again so is the music ! … Great 👍
🙏☘️😘
Zoe said dad you know I'm not stupid. Yes I hid it.
Maybe if you centered the top beem just for the long room and food accordingly.
The bathroom maybe have its own unique roof with a very slight pitch 🤔
like the side dump
All coming together nicely I know where to come to put my order in for building supplies🙈👍. Lovely 🥰
Finally! Can’t wait to see the progress!
