We’ve Upgraded our plan of the renovations of the abandoned house in Central Portugal.
Link To The Previous PLAN Video :
Hi guys, I am Alex.
I am an Ukrainian expat who moved to Portugal.
No one in my family ever did any farming, But I discovered that I am very passionate about farming so recently I’ve purchased this 28 hectares Farm in Central Portugal, with the intention to start a small scale farm raising worms, cattle and sheep.
In this little farm I am also planning to build an off grid home, and be as self sufficient as possible, by growing my own food.
I created this channel to share my journey with the world, The journey of a first generation farmer, that is starting with no prior knowledge and experiences.
That maybe all the mistakes that I will make along this journey, and all the fails maybe will help some of you to learn from my mistake and not make them yourself.
I want to bring value and inspire people who are thinking about farming.
I am not a filmmaker or an editor, I am just a simple guy with a camera.

my option would be to move the bathroom in the living, you have a lot of space, kitchen beside bathroom for drainage and you can also lower the bedroom by digning like 30 cm, I did this to my garage and got some extra space
How about, raise the roof on the bedroom area side of the house which will create a split level roof, build up the gable walls, i.e the middle wall and a side wall and use that wall to build your staircase in a corner and follow the upward line of the gable up to the first floor and build dormer windows into the roof for the bedrooms. Create as much space now as possible so that you "Didn't Regret!"
😀
Hv u considered raising the wall height by another couple of courses of stones? Then yr two floors of bedrooms would not feel so close to your heads. You’re champions at the stone laying now!
Muy bueno el nuevo plan. Pero agregar un metro más a las habitaciones no estría bueno. Éxitos en la tarea 💪
IT is a great plan! To Haven more space in second room, you can building at Poland we say " lukarna konstrukcja" Google show you lot of grfic and how IT do.
Your plans look nice, i suggest to do also a bathroom on the 1st floor.

An option for the second Floor is to make a dormer over the hole wide of the roof👍
Hi 👋 Alex love your project but I would like to suggest if you make the ceiling height to 2.50m it will make a big difference you could add 30cm only to the top of the barbet.
🌟👍🍀💐
I think its much better. Perhaps a dormer window for the upstairs area and in the shallowest part of the roofline in the upstairs bedroom u could make it built in clothes hanging space.
Hi Alex, here's an idea (actually two): A) Couldn't you move the kitchen to the opposite corner to have shared plumbing with the bathroom? And B) You could avoid building stairs if you'd just cut the bedroom on the first floor in half and so have two 9-square-meter-bedrooms. Small, but maybe a bit less costly than building a second floor, and less cramped. All the best from Spain!
A thank you for taking us on your journey, please put it towards lunch for you and dad. 🙂
I much prefer this plan over the last one Alex, and if it 'clicked' for you and your dad, then that's what is right for this building and for the 2 of you. Now we look forward to the plan being put into action and I am looking forward to seeing how you build it 🙂
So why not build a dormer in the roof space of the second bedroom either one side or both sides of the ridge line to give you more head height in the first floor bedroom?
It looks very nice already and I'm also a huge fan of open spaces, which allows for socializing if you have friends/family over for visiting. MAYBE the smaller area above the bathroom could be used as your office/studio, where you can sit quietly to edit videos or do other stuff. It wouldn't require much space as you'd be sitting most of the time, but you'd still have a dedicated space to plan/edit content. As you progress with YouTube it may soon become a part-time work (financially viable).
Best wishes and looking forward to watching the next videos.
Looking good.👍
My little other channel for inspiration.

Hi Alex, this is a much better plan, am happy to see you going to use the Attic space, it may be more spacious than you think even. Please watch my other channel I made short videos of great ideas, it has Loft, Attic, Mezzanine, Rustic kitchens, bathrooms and living interior and stunning Rustic bedroom ideas. It will give you an idea how it cam look.
Dormers can give you the ceiling height at the head of the bed area without extending the height of the overall roof
If was me I will add one meter an outside walls
I would suggest move the kitchen's location to next to where the bathroom is so the bath and the kitchen could share the water and drainage system. That would put the kitchen where you have the living room right now.
Damn my American feet and inches. I couldn't keep up with the video trying to convert all those metrics, lol. Do what ever plan makes you feel good, because their will always be a better or a worse plan from someone else's point of view. It's hard to relate as an American because you would need at least 2 bathrooms, one for guests, one for you. Ceiling heights would have to be as high as possible and 7 or 8 feet is now considered very low. And of course you would have add your home office for all your computers and such. 😉
I think the house has few windows. Bed rooms and living Room + kitchen need light.
Vaulted ceilings is where there is not a flat ceiling
You don't really have to have low ceilings if you put dormers(wide) on the top bedroom.
…kitchen near the bathroom…so all the plumbing is in the same area….🤔🙂
