We are in the middle of renovating our house in an abandoned Portuguese village. Today we continue with our Grey Water Wetland and we will find out if the 2nd attempt of the water barrier will hold….or not.
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.

Tie your dog up to a post, problem solved.
Your starting to look Portuguese.
You don't know how to tell a dog no? You don't sleep with the dog. Tap him on his ass a couple of times, he'll learn. A dog not trained even a little, is a dog not needed.
Oh duarte was there,nice job.
Instead of telling people what you're going to do why don't you just do it! Actions speak louder than words.
Jasper why you don't do roof. Something happens or what ?
Did you add a cement waterproofer to the render such as Sika Cim or Optimix mortar plasticizer? We have a similar masonry water feature that was not rendered with waterproof additive and it leaks often 100 liters per day. The plants and fish will all have to come out so it can be properly coated inside.
Really interested in this project.. need to do something similar in my house..
Will you be able to use the water at the end of the process of it just filters away into the ground?
☝️👍👍👍👍👍
Hello Jasper I think you need to buy a cement-mixer for Duarte (200 euro) .Please get the guy with the digger to make a new septik-tank ,what you are doing is not going to work .
You guys should be working with gloves with that cement. It will damage your hands
You are happy now that your so😅n is home.Stay happy .🙂
Jasper, please excuse my ignorance with the wetland, but I just don't get it. You have put so much time and effort into this middle section with the lintel, but I don't see or understand its purpose. Considering its designed for the water to flow under it, why does it even need to be there, let alone have a wall on top of it? Surely it would have made more sense to have a number of walls from the ground up at various heights. This would slow the flow and force the water to "cascade" from one to the other in a controlled manner. As it stands now, once the water passes over the first wall, it just creeps along the floor to the last one. Doesn't this make the middle section redundant? or am I just uneducated.
Now to keep doggies out of the grey water pool. One challenge at a time!
Is it going to work. IMO no.

That young man is a really hard worker, this will serve him well in his future endeavors.
I think I know what the problem is! Your septic tank is full of crap!
Please, don't forget to wear safety goggles
Duarte is turning into a very handsome dude! You guys work well together. The wetlands project is lookin' good.
Good job. Love your videos.
brother, bricks should be wet, that cement will fall and crack … why dont u guys do some research be4 wasting materials ? … lol … gl
Bro.. just look at the sky right now!!! It's Jupiter!! It's now or in 59y. Beautiful
As someone said previously, why aren't you using the holes in the ",tijoles" for water flow…make your "dam" from them and let that water flow ..just like the music tonight….good vibes R.
Wet the walls lads. Stops the brick sucking all the moisture out of the render and will help it stick to the brick and create the waterproof layer you are looking for. Love the videos. 😊
Duarte did a great job on rendering. It’s looking great. Almost done guys.

Great to see you back here Duarte 😙
Lovely job you two work well together 👍
🙏☘️😘
🍻🍻🍻
Why is the tarp still on the mini build thought you had finished the roof
It might of been cheaper just get a new septic in
nice stripey sky, nothing to see here 🙂
Nice job , but I think I'm going to die waiting for you to wet the walls before you put the cement !!! Lol .
Your septic tank needs to be pumped or replaced or the wetlands will not do you any good. First things first
Where's Diana,,,thought she was brain s for this project
Put a brick under in middle
How does water get in…ojt
Nice to see Duarte again.
Hola Edwin se te extrañaba!!!
We also digged and digged to find our septic tank. We never found it.
Then we just closed up again
Live and learn. Looks like you got it. Bravo!
Hiya Jasper and Co i
I suggested a few days back to buy and place some reed plants into the open sewer.
I suggest to do this now.
The reed plants would soak up the water and grow.
If you wanted you could after completing your construction possibly use them there if they had soaked up the water at the site of your old syptic run off.
Think seriously about it.
Anyway still liking your content and your ability to change what you are doing.
Looking forward to your new way of content showing.
Keep up the good work.
It's very entertaining.

The wall must be wet before you apply the cement, to improve adherence to the brick wall.
Would put one block in the bottom of your center divider to help support the lintel you pored.
I think you have a new fan. My little orphan kitten Gina watched your whole video with me! Great job on your Grey water wetlands! We're still figuring out how to set up our Grey water system so we will watch you for ideas 💡 😉
Great progress but you should really not be using bare hands to put wet concrete between the bricks, it really dries out your skin and can give you contact dermatitis.
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you all guys, nice to see you finish something there is still hope.
Nada mal cara, parabéns
for the septic tank dig a hole about 3 feet away, then dig a channel linking the two to drain the fluids. they should soak into the ground..
Great progress 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
