The dampness is due to the stone not being able to breathe. The render or paint should be replaced with lime based plaster or paint which will solve this problem.

Got to be the grandest house I've seen in Portugal Lots of potential

Wow, your home and land has so much potential. looking forward to following you in restoring it. Thank you from Australia.

Been wondering where you were, now I can see just how busy you have been, Great tour! All is looking wonderful!

Gracious me, what a gorgeous building. I’m thinking you are both at a great age to actually finish this renovation/restoration and have a luxury home to live in. It’s big enough to let out the ground floor as a B&B for holiday makers. There is quite enough room upstairs for you and your family to visit. I think I’m a little envious 🧑🏻‍🎤… Wishing you both every happiness, lots of strength, and of course , myriads of patience.. Cheers from Australia 🌸🌸🌸🌸

That was a great tour of your property folks. Good luck on your new life journey.

The ground floor would make a great rental or holiday let.

Might move kitchen to added on area ,room where it leaved and use kitchen as laundry/ utility and mud room

I saw this property for sale and fell in love with it. I'm glad someone lovely has bought it and will bring it back to life. ❤

Congratulations on your new adventure!! If I was you I would move the kitchen into the biggest bedroom closer to the living room and dinning room. On the main floor, and make the kitchen your laundry room with a sink for DIY, soaking cloths and anything else you need.

What a charming house! I see why you gravitated toward this property - it's lovely, with so many interesting features. It looks like a chapel/church from the front doors, then opens up like a butterfly!

That house is magnificent! The wooden slats floors are amazing. I would die to live there! I see why you had to have it I would have been the same way!

Its all about the heart, when buying a house. Of course your criteria went out the window. I love this house. I like that you have a village close by.

What a beautiful house. Granny South Africa

Hi from Sr Petersburg Florida. I love your home, you are so lucky to fine and enjoy. You have to dry the moldy ceiling or it will keep coming back. Mold is very dangerous to your health. It would be best to take it down and replace all that is wet. I know that cost a lot but your health is worth it. Please show more oy=f your gardens. Enjoy your home. 😊😊❤❤

HI GUYS LOVE YOUR HOUSE YES DEFINITELY BE WATCHING YOUR PROGRESS AND SEEING THE MIRRORS UP ON THE WALLS ❤ FROM AUSTRALIA

The house is gorgeous ❤ thank you for sharing ❤

Love your home and agree with you about painting some of the ceiling white. So many possiblities, can see it decorated and beautiful paintings on the walls.

Love your new home! I have lived all my life in the western and southwestern United States but dream of getting back to Europe. We have watched many UKposts videos about Portugal and I hope to visit soon. I hope all goes well with your renovations!!

My son lived in Aveira for a year while he played basketball there. We visited him. Lovely country

Awesome! Fun! Funny! Thank you!

Well done. Lots of progress so far and it looks like you have resolved a lot of the roof problems. It is a fantastic house but I would get lost in such a big place. Nice to see that you are both brave enough to take on all this work. Good luck 👍

I like the texture on the walls

Its an amazing house, luckey you!! We have a stone house as well here in Greece, full renovated because it was built in 1871, from granparents, and we are so happy to live there every summer with family and friends, and luckily it is by the sea!!! Be happy my friends at your beautiful home!!!❤❤❤

1st bedroom would make a nice dressing room for the larger bedroom. Look very closely at condition of wood ceiling and floors for rot and wood worm. It’s a lovely home.

Your home is going to be stunning. I'm looking forward to following the journey with you. From New Zealand

I saw where u can take a bucket of water about halfway and a branch from ur trees leave it till u can lift it out and see roots but leave it till u have a good rooting system. U can use fruit u may be able to root u more willows...I would dig the lemon tree up and put it in a big pot and keep it up by ur house also u need to pot it in a bag of compost with citrus in it..😊

❤

Amazing house! You could rent out the downstairs a a seperate holiday let. It ha everything one could want for a short or longer stay!

Very impressive house. Looks like the living room was made by knocking down the rooms either side of the corridor. It is in very good condition for age. I've just bought a similar age house near Coimbra, 4 bed but it has been split in two so probably a similar size to yours originally. I still have the original windows like yours on the ground floor. Not sure why you want more bedrooms as ground floor is great for storage and workshop! Looks a good compromise of a liveable house but with opportunity to improve certain rooms. Mine is the same as has no heating and never had open fires so you do wonder how they kept warm in the winter. It does have good sun exposure so will warm up during the day.

Wow what an amazing house! Those cupboards in the bedroom are absolutely stunning. So much storage. The living room is remarkable and again stunning!!! What a gorgeous home. I can't wait to see what you are going to do with this house. More videos please!!! Cheers from Toronto

Get a dehumidifier for the kitchen! Nice house!

What a stunning house. The extension to your first floor lounge would once have been an outdoor terrace, I think. So hence the grand doorway and arched windows in the main room.

I found your channel , I have subscribed. ❤

The house is beautiful.

Hi from Cape Town. Ive had withdrawal symptoms from no Tea and Tinto! Im absolutely in love with the 2 wooden beds in the 6th bedroom!! ❤

The house is lovely. I love Escpecially the bathrooms with the very old sinks and Toilets. I suspekt that they were very high quality and expensive 😢 greetings from Germany 😊

Beautiful house ❤ enjoy it😘

The walls on this floor look great

Get a scrapper flat with a handle will take all popcorn sand paint.

fantastic guys,well done

Amazing house and very well explained

Beautiful 😊

Hello from Australia.. love your house...gee wouldn't I love a project like yours..I think I would love to paint those dark dark ceilings white..but OMG what a time consuming job that would be...sooo many coats of paint...another alternative would be what we call gyprock ...sheets of plaster cut to fit...on ceiling would give good insulation cheap to buy and is quick install if you hire the right equpment to lift up to ceiling . Loved the tour...I am genuinly impressed...what a find..

What a lovely, charming and very large house. If you paint the ceilings white, i think, you will turn it into an ordinary home taking away some of the warmth and charm. You might regret it. Looking forward to seeing what you will do. Thank you for sharing. ❤️🙏

Are you planning a B&B? House would be ideal for that, so many rooms with great views.

Hi , from California

Ur home is simple but quite beautiful. It is nice that u have a good piece of land. The 0lace itself is beautiful

Your house is beautiful and very big. And in a very good shape. Not like most of the properties on the market today. Overprized ruins! And people buying like crazy. Investing lots of money and years of getting somthing out liveable. For myself not unterstand able. I for myself retired 5 years ago to Thailand. Built a house on my wifes Land outside a village. And enjoy the quiet, lush green envierment and the fishpond. If i would have stayed in Switzerland i probably would not have a life as good as mine here.

Loved the tour of the house We have a house in Sao Miguel and we added some fans in each room to circulate the air And I have to say it helped immensely with dampness But with that said your house is amazing Great job

Beautiful…

Une très belle maison avec beaucoup de caractère. Super acquisition , sans compter cette magnifique propriété. Je vous souhaite beaucoup de joies et de magnifiques expériences dans le rafraîchissement de cette propriété qui en vaut la peine. Bon courage à vous pour le futur

Boa tarde,os meus parabéns pela linda casa que compraram embora tenham muitos trabalhos pela frente mas foi uma boa escolha, neste lindo país a BEIRA mar plantado,vos desejo muita saúde para usufruir dessa lind porpiedade bj abraços👍👍👍

Hello from Clinton Connecticut love your channel! I am also Portuguese and I have spent many summers there. Have fun!

What a beautiful home you have. So much potential in the downstairs especially but costly on time and money so a little bit at a time is very sensible. Thank you for the tour with only one thing left to say 😊 Mirrors hung pretty pkease and maybe a few lights fixed 😂😂

Stunning, thank you for the tour, Love to follow Hello from ON Canada 🍁

Olá, adorei a apresentação 👍 a casa é linda com enorme potencial.😍

What are the plans for the house? B&B?

Hi from India Was wondering y u didn't post any updates Happy to seeit

Do not paint or replaster until you’ve had some expert advice as you have dampness issues. That means there’s a lot of water being retained already. There must be a historic preservation office somewhere in Portugal where you can seek advice. What has happened is that the previous owners have made mistakes that have trapped the moisture. In a brick house, this can cause the brick to spall. I’m not sure about the stone. You need to take off all the layers of paint and sand plaster and only use lime based plaster and paint so the house can breathe. I am hoping that the mortar that holds the house together is also correct and has not been relayed or repointed with a hard, modern, cement. This can also help trap moisture forcing the water to escape via the stone rather than through a softer more line based mortar.

TEXAS just found you

😮🥰🥰🥰💕💕💕👍😘
