This is coming from an old married woman, watching plaster go on so professionally is really cool. But watching plaster go on by a plasterer who looks like a model is even nicer to watch. Yes, I’m married but I’m not blind. Yet. 😂

The interior is looking so good! I love the combination of plaster and stone to still keep the rich texture of the stone, but the plastered areas look clean and contemporary. The combination keeps it from looking like you are living in a stone cave! The arch looks so much like a Renaissance-Gothic influence! Your squash, or melons are growing like crazy! You can eat the flowers too! Love your kitties. It is nice that they are comfortable going in and out of the mill and sleep with you❣️❤

@tonynunes4965 21 күн бұрын

Hey, if you haven't committed to painting the walls yet, I would suggest that instead of conventional paint, you consider using a lime ("cal") wash, which has several advantages over paint: it is breathable and so won't trap humidity behind it, which can lead to bubbling and flaking; it is clean and healthy (no weird synthetic chemicals); it inhibits mould growth as it is mineral and alkaline; it is a lot cheaper than synthetic paint; it is traditional. The main drawback is that it can rub off more easily than paint, however this can be minimised by adding a fixative agent to it (similar to white glue), which you can easily find in Portugal. Some people also add boiled linseed oil to it or animal fat to make it more resistant. You can also add mineral powders in various colours, such as blue, red, yellow, etc. if you want a coloured surface: people often do this for a pleasant and mellow pastel-like colour.

Our very old home growing up had thick plaster walls with archways. I loved the archways that had built-in shelves waist high to head high. What lived there changed throughout the year including beautiful holiday decorations that were well protected but easily accessible as you passed thru the archway. Your build is very creative & beautiful!

You have a nice view from the yoga corner but it looks like there’s a beautiful open spot on the other side of the creek. All the eucalyptus clearing and brush clearing opened up a beautiful little terrace. I was wondering what those melons were. 😉 Are your builders using cement based or lime based products? The walls look so smooth. They are awesome craftsmen. How about some lime wash on the walls instead of regular paint. The color of that plaster isn’t too bad IMO. And Adobe or Cobb structures maybe outside for your future chickens or something? 15 years together! Wow. I think it’s more like 30 years. Because most couples have at least 8 hours a day away from one another but you both work together as well so hey that counts for more. 😅 You’re an awesome couple and I do wish you all the health, happiness and a long beautiful adventurous life. ❤
