Eco and Beyond
Old buildings are fascinating and the more we peel back the layers on our old stone farm house in rural Portugal, the more we learn. Join us for a tour of the first floor as we try to piece together some of the history of the building and try to understand the work that was done to extend and "modernise" it over the years.

Uncovering the History and ROTTEN Wood in Our Portuguese Farm House – Ep 029

Eco and Beyond 8.6K views 10 hours ago

The temperatures are rising here in the interior of Portugal with a week of over 30 degree temperatures on the horizon. So, for a quick and easy (ha!) weekend project, we decided to tackle the cleaning of our concrete water tanks so we could see if they could be turned into a temporary plunge pool for the summer. We will ultimately use the tanks for irrigation but that project is a way off. So, in the meantime they will make a perfect place to cool off in the hot summer heat. As always, things are never as simple or quick and easy as they first seem. So follow along as we tackle this "one day build" that eventually spans over three days and see what issues we face and how we overcome them. And do make sure to watch to the end for the obligatory "test dive". Also, if you know/are a well cleaning company that serves the Sertรฃ region of Portugal, please do get in touch!

Turning a Concrete Water Tank into a Temporary PLUNGE POOL for Summer – Portugal Property Renovation

Eco and Beyond 34.1K views June 6, 2021 5:45 pm

We made a mistake and repointed the stone walls in the bathroom of our old Portuguese farm house with a product called HL5 (and sand). This is an artificial hydraulic (in water) setting product with additives and potentially up to 20% of cement. This is bad for buildings like ours which is made of stone and has barely any foundations. So in this episode we correct our mistake. We also share a bunch of information we've learned about lime and show a couple of ways of working with it: hot mixing lime mortar and slacking quicklime into lime putty. So sit back and watch us work - again. Hot Lime Mix Ratio ------------------------------ 1 part quicklime (cal viva in Portuguese) 3 parts sharp sand 1.5 parts water Here's a list of tools and other products that we use and love: ๐•๐ข๐œ๐ญ๐ซ๐จ๐ง ๐„๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ ๐’๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ ๐„๐ช๐ฎ๐ข๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐ญ US: https://amzn.to/3mJatQzโ€‹ UK: https://amzn.to/3g5Ibycโ€‹ DE: https://amzn.to/3g2Yko9โ€‹ ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐œ๐ก ๐๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ UK: https://amzn.to/3sddJolโ€‹ DE: https://amzn.to/3dfuGKkโ€‹ ๐„๐œ๐จ๐…๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฅ๐ญ๐š ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ (๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐š๐ซ ๐ ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐š๐ญ๐จ๐ซ) US: https://amzn.to/2Rs8Qehโ€‹ UK: https://amzn.to/2PXZczKโ€‹ DE: https://amzn.to/2PXZczKโ€‹ ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฐ๐š๐ฅ๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐ž๐ซ ๐“๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ US: https://amzn.to/3tgASY7โ€‹ UK: https://amzn.to/32anmtkโ€‹ DE: https://amzn.to/3gcLyUhโ€‹ ๐–๐จ๐ฅ๐Ÿ๐œ๐ซ๐š๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐‚๐ฅ๐š๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฌ (๐š๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐ฐ๐จ๐จ๐๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ข๐ง๐  ๐ญ๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ) US: https://amzn.to/3a6m0Elโ€‹ UK: https://amzn.to/2Q1OAzVโ€‹ DE: https://amzn.to/3mFCmJcโ€‹ ๐‚๐š๐ฆ๐ž๐ซ๐š - ๐†๐จ๐๐ซ๐จ ๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐จ ๐Ÿ— ๐๐ฅ๐š๐œ๐ค US - https://amzn.to/3mGJR2mโ€‹ UK - https://amzn.to/3e2jekuโ€‹ DE - https://amzn.to/3deKCwMโ€‹ ๐•๐จ๐ข๐œ๐ž ๐Ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ ๐Œ๐ข๐œ๐ซ๐จ๐ฉ๐ก๐จ๐ง๐ž - ๐‡๐ž๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐‘-๐Ÿ’๐ŸŽ US - https://amzn.to/3tfiaQBโ€‹ UK - https://amzn.to/3mHeq8aโ€‹ DE - https://amzn.to/3e0n11Hโ€‹ ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ซ: Order your NIF online and receive it in just one week.

Fixing Our Lime MISTAKE! Hot Mixing and Slaking Lime – Portugal Property Renovation – Episode 027

Eco and Beyond 23.6K views May 29, 2021 9:00 am

Weโ€™ve been putting it off for ages but the time has come. So we can move forward with progress on our Portuguese property renovation, we need to remove the rotten old (chestnut?) lintels and replace them with two beautiful pieces of oak that we restored in a previous episode. So, grab your hard hat, gloves, respirators and safety specs and hold on tight as we slowly start to remove the stonesโ€ฆ If you have any questions about lime, lime mortar, lime pointing or working with these beautiful old stone buildings, do let us know. We're planning for the next video to be all about lime and hope to be able to address some of your questions and comments then. Thanks!

Replacing Oak Lintels in a Stone Wall (DIY) – Portugal Property Renovation – Episode 026

Eco and Beyond 23.3K views May 22, 2021 9:00 am

We brits love to talk about the weather and in this video that's exactly what we're going to do. Over the last four months I've been using the Netatmo Smart Weather Station, collecting data about our local climate and enjoying the experience of knowing exactly what's going on outside without needing to look out of the window. However, it's not all been smooth sailing and I've had a few issues with the system which I outline in detail along with the features that I do like about this tool / toy. When I bought the Netatmo weather station I also bought the smart rain gauge and smart wind gauge (or anemometer) but hadn't previously installed them as I was living in temporary accommodation. Now we're settled on the farm, growing (some of) our own food and living off grid in a tent, understanding the weather is even more important and I've FINALLY gotten around to installing the Netatmo smart rain gauge and wind gauge to complete the system. So follow along as we play with some apps, install some smart home devices and troubleshoot a couple of issues along the way.

Netatmo Weather Station: Installing Wind and Rain Gauges (and Troubleshooting)

Kylie is running the show this week and getting her hands dirty with some lovely pieces of wood. In preparation for installing two large oak lintels above the windows in our bathroom, we're peeling back the layers of dirt, grime, water damage and more, hoping to reveal some beautiful grain and rustic charm within. In this episode Kylie plays with some new tools and rocks out on her own while I spend the week in a hotel working on a client project. You'll just have to wait and see what happens to the lintels โ€“ and one of our most valuable tools โ€“ on my return... The Story So Far --------------------------- My nameโ€™s Guy.

LIVE Q&A – Portugal Property Renovation

Eco and Beyond 18.9K views May 2, 2021 11:11 am

Reverse engineering the water supply is the name of the game in this week's episode. We have water in the house and we have an outside tap. We know where the water meter is and we've found a sliver of the pipe that brings the water into the house. But there are a lot of unknowns and in this video we put our detective hats on (and grab some new heavy duty tools) and start digging up the concrete and marble crazy paving that surrounds our house in an effort to get some answers. When we know where the existing water feed is and how all the taps, manifolds and old gas boilers are fed we can start taking steps to remove the old and instate the new. As usual, nothing goes to plan and we end up making all sorts of ridiculous mistakes so stick around and see what happens! The Story So Far --------------------------- My nameโ€™s Guy.

Itโ€™s been almost 3 months but weโ€™re back on the building site on our Portuguese property renovation. This video starts all the way back in January and finishes just a few days ago, in the middle of April. Repointing our stone walls with lime mortar was not a massive piece of work but it was time consuming, tedious and a prelude to a slightly nerve wracking task ahead. But as always, we got our hands dirty, got to work and got the job done. And while things were a little slow and frustrating along the way, we definitely ended on a high note.
