Hi Christine good progress on the build guys are doing a grand job be nice to see the roof on,those stones were huge seems they wanted it to last.😊

How exciting Christine… your plans are really coming together. You have a great team there working for you… where did you find them, was it easy to employ these builders? Can't wait to see next week's progress… Can just picture you and your furbabies in your new courtyard with your morning coffee … stunning view 💛

It’s really moving along! Take super care, Laura 🐶🐶🍸

Thanks for the plan of the rooms. It helps me understand what’s going where. Your courtyard is going to be so lovely!

Wow what fabulous progress! your builders are certainly cracking on. It’s going to be fantastic and I’m so pleased for you. Looking forward to next weeks catchup 💕

I’m so excited for you as well! 😁

So good to see you smiling…I'm glad for you…its going to be beautiful!

Looks really good 😀 Going to be epic when done !!

Your amazing architecture really.. Good luck Christine.. I love old thing maybe you can renovate some not strong structure and reinforced some walls and post.🙂🙂🙂🙂💪💪

Are you going to keep those cinder blocks outside of the stone walls.🇨🇦

I’m so excited for yu

have someone paint a mural, or two on the wall through the outside window. something classical 🤔

Looking good! ☺ Hope you like the gift, hopefully meet you next time!😇

So your structure is Dependencia Agricola?
You have a structure with Urban Article on the land?

Are you sure you will be able to get habitation license without it being urban article?
Changing something from "Dependencia Agricola" to "Habitacao" in the Caderneta Predial is very hard.

*Edit – I talked to my engineer that works in the camara of Idanha-A-Nova regarding the urban article, he said that it is not Mandatory but he needs to see the house( even 1 picture) and the caderneta predial then he will know to answer me better.

Beautiful… Love to see your progress…

Why didn’t they remove the old cinder lock and build up with the boulders?

Wow the speed of the work is amazing! By the time you have a whole house, I might finally have a window hole! 😆 Love your vision and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all comes together!

How exciting to see all this work done already.. those old walls are thick and sturdy, quite a job to remove it. I can't wait to see the transformation… oh such comfort for you.

You are blessed to have an architect working with you. Good luck with your plans Christine 👍🏼🍀

Its coming together so nicely. You must be so happy

I am excited for you! Amazing how construction is done in Portagul!

I’m going to bottle your enthusiasm and drink a whole glass of it 😂
Lovely to see and it looks like a great project is moving forward we’ll. 🍷

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you girl, Wow you are getting there good worker's.

I am so happy you are taking us on this journey. When it is finished, it will look amazing. Thank you!😁

I enjoyed your interesting explanation of what the building process entails in Portugal!
The building team needs to be applauded for that enormous effort they put in….granite boulders and thick walls –
They are nevertheless moving at great pace.
The courtyard is definitely going to become a favourite spot to relax.
The project is taking shape amazingly fast.
We are excited with and for you, Christine!👍

Wow! It's coming right along! It's exciting to watch the build develop. The bedroom and courtyard will be beautiful. So the courtyard will be private with no other entrance from the outside? This is going to be a beautiful home once it's all done up. I can't wait for more!🙂👍👍🐕🐕

Christine,
The 1951 law is only for Licença de habitação ( Habitation License)
It has nothing to do with renovations.

You still have to submit renovation plans even for houses pre-1951.

Amazing progress. It starts to get clear. It looks like the spaces are going to be airy and full of light.

It seems you have found a very good crew! Looks like their work is top notch. Love seeing the progress. Will you do any ceiling fans in the new area? I've seen really nice can spots or even small spots that can pivot to aim lighting where you need it. Another option is up lighting. Aiming at the ceiling and relying on reflected light to illuminate areas. LED strip lighting that can change colors is a different and cool option for evening lighting. I'm sure what ever you pick will be wonderful. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Be safe!

Whoop…progress indeed & just love the view. Things are moving along at a pace, won't be long before this part of the renovation will be complete…..onward and upward. Good luck clearing up your growing rubble pile 🥰😯🥰

You made great progress and it already looks so nice, I cannot wait to see the next step. Are you also going to talk about estimate cost of this project so other people can have rough idea if they wanted to do something similar?

Paradise is getting closer!!!!!! LED Lightbulbs!!!!

What architecture form did you use? Or construction company?

It's going to look great

Great progress! That patio area is going to be so nice when you sit there with your morning coffee. So many lovely, large rocks to use for your patio wall, and elsewhere😊👍🏽

Looking good 🏡🤗

What is your estimated cost for renovation and also how much you pay for the guys please. Thank you

Great vision!

Loving the progress 😊
