My brother, Andrew and I bought an old abandoned house in Portugal and spent the next 18 months, along with my wife Cristina and our good friend Detlev, renovating it back to new.
Not going to lie, it was tough, but we got there.
Watch the transformation through my eyes as we went full steam at taking on tasks well out of our comfort zones.
This is a story of perseverance and determination, that I am incredibly proud of our achievement.
My brother has his own KZfaq channel: / @blondguy where you can see his side of the renovation.
Although we did many jobs together, we also did jobs on our own. This is my version of The village house renovation.
Thanks for watching and if you enjoyed, please consider subscribing. This goes a long way in enabling us to continue the journey.

Thanks for the wonderful comments. There seems to be a reoccurring opinion from a few people that the house should have been demolished and rebuilt. The simple answer is, you can’t. Rules and regulations apply. Hope that clears that up.

This demonstrates what skill goes into building. I think people often view construction work as fairly menial labor. This video perfectly illustrates that builders are truly craftsmen and artisans!

Yes, exactly. I have had to work with a few clowns over the years who came into renovation from a non trade background, but thought they knew it all, with their ‘uni’ degree. You can’t be a dimwit and build like these guys.

My brother was a carpenter and I worked in the trades for a number of years. I would help him remodel houses which he would flip and eventually he built two new construction homes which I helped with extensively. Now my brother is gone and I am retired on disability but those times are some of the best memories of my life. Great times, and I miss him dearly.

This is one of, if not the most spectacular renovations I have ever seen. Even more incredible it that you did it all in just 18 months with a small team. I can truly appreciate all the work that went into this. Not to mention the broad spectrum of talent held by your small team of folks doing work that would usually involve a small army of specialized tradesmen. Structural, roofing, plumbing, electrical, masonry, tile, counter tops, cabinetry, windows, sheet rock, painting, insulation and probably a few things I missed. Job well done to your team of men and women. It is something to truly be proud of. Had someone shown me this job at the start, I would have run away screaming! 🙂

Unfortunately, at 63, I'm slowing down and can't do what I used to, so I'll do what I can. Yeah, I'm the Grandma that owns all the tools and does the construction!!!

I cannot believe people would even think of wanting to level this house. I’ve collected and sold antiques over the years and the whole idea is to preserve what can never be duplicated or replaced. What a huge project to undertake but so worth the blood, sweat and tears and in Portugal! I cannot wait to see more.

@eeliejun 3 ай бұрын

Tbh, it is for for a couple of reasons people would level it. Cost is one of them. A lot of times it is cheaper and simpler to start again, two is the layout not really working and 3 is that the bricks are old so structure problems can happen in the future because the brick is just decaying. Making it cost more in the future. Not saying it is a bad idea to renovate but sometimes stuff can't be saved or fixed.

@latebloomerabroad 3 ай бұрын

At the beginning, I thought it looked like the inside was in much better shape than the outside suggested. But I can see that it would be cheaper to tear it down and build new, if the regulations allowed it. But to me, the entire reason to do this is to keep the old charm that can be saved. And of course, you want the home to blend in with the surrounding homes on the outside at least.

Portuguese here. Absolutely awesome job! Love the end result. I have a small farm with an old stone house that need similar treatment. Unfortunately me being on the opposite side of Europe do not help the quest. Love your work. Cheers.

Wow...just wow! I have always wished I knew how to be a craftsman like your brother and you clearly are. I can't twist two wires together... Absolutely wonderful work. I hope you and your family enjoy that place for generations. God bless.

@trevormiles5852 3 ай бұрын

twisting wires is easy. First you hold one wire while you eat your sandwich then when your done with the sandwich you clean up the area of crumbs and go get yourself a drink. Oh. go get the other wire and watch tv for an hour. No need to hurry. Where was I? Go to the pub and tell your friends how hard you been working . Done! Wasn't that easy my dear friend?

Thanks for restoring our landscape. The final result looks amazing and really captures Portuguese tradition. With these ridiculous salaries and taxes, regular Portuguese folks don't (and never will) have the capability to do something like this. Hope you enjoy your time here.

It’s sad that the people of Portugal wouldn’t be able to rebuild and own homes like this in their own land. They did a beautiful job but I wonder who can afford the home now?

Stunning transformation. I admire anyone that takes it on and makes something old new again. I get tired of the continual tearing down the old and building new with less quality or character. I think you did an amazing job and I love that you kept a few of the original touches and reused them. I think you're all amazing and did a great job. Bravo!!

I am genuinely impressed by the diversity of your skills and the commitment to see such a renovation through - not to mention the creativity underlying the design of the end product. Well done. Really, well done.

Taking something that was basically falling down to something liveable again warms the heart. Buildings with character are so hard to come by these days. To bring back this building to life really was a joy to see. Thank you for saving this home it was well worth the effort and enjoyable to watch

Having been fortunate enough to have stayed at my grandparents village house in Spain kitchen cows and bathroom downstairs bedrooms upstairs and a mid 1700 Danish plantation house kitchen in a separate building massive house I have a respect for old houses. well done...well done....

Wow. I've watched a lot of complete restauration videos of old houses but this is the most satisfying one I'v seen. In every step you can see that you clearly know what you're doing. Every step is well thought through. Plastering walls and roofs is not easy and needs a long time to practice and you make it look so easy. Is one of you working as a bricklayer or concrete builder? The result looks beautiful and I love the contrast of the old and new structure. All the work and effort you've put into this house really paid off in the end. Kudos!

There's a lot of work and love that went into doing all this. You can tell, it's well thought out. These folks are tight and care about each other. You can tell that they all know what they're doing. They're some of the best folks that construction has to offer nowadays! Good job!

Sorrowfully with the younger generation all knowledge gets lost, they aren't interested in learning. We are so happy our son wanted to stay in his dad's footsteps in the motor trade and is now a Company Director within an established business. with 5 members on board. His future is sound, doing very well, so proud x

I am watching this slack jawed. I have a lot of familiarity with the construction of American style homes but this is something new to me. Beyond that, the vision and the unending energetic work and willingness to go big is mind-boggling. I never thought I'd see somebody who would say to themselves, " let's renovate this house and tuen it upside down entirely, one room at a time.". You took down the roofs, you took up the floors, you replaced the beams, you put down new floors, you took down walls.... It just didn't seem to end. I lost faith in your vision when the courtyard was an absolute disaster. But just before you put up the words "We have a plan ", on the screen, I decided to trust you a little bit longer. And by the way you're rendering was absolutely beautiful. 💯🏆🎶🎶🎶Lovely results. Outstanding. 👏👏👏
