We don’t think it was too much, because it’s more than just the house we bought. It’s an acre of land, which is almost all flat and is 100% usable, in a great location with lots of amenities (supermarket, banks, doctors, restaurants) only 5mins away, and there are 2 buildings to renovate. Doing it ourself and at the speed we can do has definitely helped the budget too 😃

Maybe it was a lil bit expensive back in the day but even if they didnt do anything the property would be at least 150k by now. Everything increased prices, even complete ruins in the middle of nowhere its crazy. Damn you english, french, germans and brazilians buying everything LOL

Hi. I don't think you paid too much for it, today you would easily pay much over the 100k...I Wish you all the best you got yourselves a sub, from a possible neighbor, Portugal is an awesome country, we Portuguese people don't realize it much, we just live a simple life, work hard, raise a family, buy a cheap house(if you already bought a car), retire, raise grandson's and die forgotten, by everyone you cared and loved during life...we are poor basterds who get mugged every single day, by our dear Good friend Prime minister...we struggle a whole life to buy this, or that, but at the end we own nothing, or even if we own we won't be using it for a long time, retiring at 67yrs...sorry for ruining your positive comments here...I just feel sad, because it's gonna be my ending, I'm a 38 yrs old father of two, that feels depressed, about everything, life is so hard, our governments, our rulers who ever the hell run everything, just need us to fulfill their objectives, this shitty wars, they don't care, this crisis on housing market, financial crises because of the war, and the gas prices, I mean come on let a man life a humble but honorable life. I'm good in life I can't say I'm bad, but I see so many people not having a fair one. Again sorry and thank you for making this video it just proves my point that Portugal is the best country for welthy people, retired people and for criminals 😞✅👍 I see no future ahead that ends positive...what world will I leave for my daughter's as heritage??? Cheers and Why So Serious?😂

You’re so right .. anyone can do anything…. they just have to want it enough and be willing to do whatever it takes to start 😀

Wouldn’t it make more sense to buy a land and build a new house?!

Yes, everything was left behind … almost felt like they just walked out one day and never came back. There was even food in some of the cupboards. We never thought we could live in the house in the condition it was in, but we definitely underestimated the amount of work required. And almost daily we ask ourselves why we’re doing this crazy project 😂🤣😂

I have just watched for the first time wow I take my hat off to your hard work but 3 years and still not near moving in that's great if you are young and many years ahead of you can't wait to see the rest of the work hopefully you do it quicker than next three years brilliant work guys well done ❤

Bravo both of you …what a mammoth task….its going to be stunning..and loved the rave soundtrack

I saw another channel that they used what looked like a pastry bag that you filled with mortar, squeezed and it went right in between the rocks?

There’s a second building, in much worse condition, that we plan to rebuild. That’ll keep us busy for many years to come 😂

Um dos melhores vidios que eu já vi que coragem que tiveram um trabalho estenuante mas que nunca desistiram. E o que é interessante foi tudo feito pela Kayla e Guy sem ajuda de ninguem e que ficou perfeito graças ao esforço e tenacidade estao mil vezes de parabens. Adorei este vidio . Thank so much both God bless you a lot 🙏🏼🩵👍👍👍👍

@@assuncaomeireles198 I agree 1000%

We knew upfront about much of the rip out work … the biggest surprise was the timber damage

Thanks for letting us know. My partner tells me that if you guys can take on such a large project then we should too! Hmmm I'm not sure I have your skills and persistence. All the best.@@MAKEDOGROW

A lot of the furniture we’ve kept so we can upcycle/repurpose it at some point, some we broke down so we can reuse the materials, some we gave away (mattresses for example) … and a very small amount was thrown away. Hopefully in the next year or two we’ll be able to start finding new homes for things 😀

Such a lovely comment, thank you 😍

We learnt that lesson quit a while back … but cheap, but twice as they say. We still do fall foul of it sometimes, especially when it’s a tool we don’t think we’ll use much so don’t see the sense in the investment (the cheap reciprocating saw is an example, didn’t last long at all)
