Brothers Bought an Abandoned Courtyard in Portugal | Transformation - TIMELAPSE Start to Finish 

I feel so lazy sitting here in my living room watching all this hard work!

Wow!!! I chat believe I have now spent 10 minutes just watching a guy a dont know, in a house I will never visit, jig saw puzzling a court yard floor back into full glory stone by stone! I have watched the whole thing, by the way and also the full restoration of the house itself. Unless you are completely exhausted (hope to God you're not 🙂) you guys must be in phenomenal shape from all that physical labour. Whatever that house sells for and no matter how much you make, it is not enough!

Timelapse is a wonderful thing. I barely broke a sweat. Bloody well done!

Woke up at 3:00 am, couldn't get back to sleep, then found your renovation movie 🎬 it was the best thing ever!!! Loved it in it's entirety 🙏

U people are believable l have never seen people work so hard you are a credit to the human race you all take care and l know everyone just loves you all to bitsxx.

Eish! That courtyard was really a disaster - I marvel that you made something out of it!

Nice touch putting that blue little car in the wall--I hope it will bring a smile to the one discovering it.

Fabulous courtyard. I envision large palms in terracotta pots for shade, and shade cloths, and a big, rustic outdoor table seating at least 12.

The best part is seeing you and your brother working together without bickering! Very refreshing!

That style of construction using Stone, Bricks, Tiles and Mortar looks very attractive, but here in New Zealand is unfortunately impossible. We have too many large Earthquakes. In 1859 we had an 8.3 with the Epicentre only about 15km away from where I now live. It was so big, it even shook all the big trees down!

So beautiful. I normally don't care for the color used on the "upper" deck but there it looks so inviting. Makes me want a cup of coffee and a book and just sit and relax.

Great finish . Now crack on with your dream house😘

Back breaking work, drilling and pulling up the concrete back yard! House looks adorable and whomever gets it is lucky. X:)

I felt happy seeing how you decided to save the old authentic roofing, instead of throwing it away like in the previous house. This time you decided to save more of the old. I love it.

Wow, it was scary how easily those walls came down. That courtyard is an absolute gem now.

What an immense amount of work! I hope that the new owners, and all subsequent owners will love and maintain the property for the next 100 years!

You are the saviour of lost causes Andy! That bread oven is a piece of art!

You are fantastic mr. "the blond guy" - love your videos - keep up the good work 🙂

Oh my goodness! Under 40k Euro's for materials! That is amazing! Andy and James, you are both true craftsmen and have done a wonderful job! It will be a fantastic home for someone!

Giving me the inspiration to stop working and start living,or rather retirement, in Portugal. With love from Somerset England. Very well done guys.

Portuguese folks see us sitting out in the sun and think we are a lil bit mad... so its no surprise the state of that outside space...imagine being the poor animals subjected to living out there... Now you have transformed it into a beautiful GARDEN area, a place to unwind and relax.... its not even recognisable as before and after... but wow what an after... well done Christina James and Andrew, on a job massively well done... and although not an instructional video... I learned lots from it :)

Lovely results. To that courtyard sparkling in the sun with small, white pebbles the wind next Spring will send dust with hardy seeds that will embed themselves. Remember what it looked like at the start? And again when you came back after spectacularly finishing the house? How’d those plants get up there? The moisture barrier protects what is below but roots will love the moisture above it. You’ve created a lovely mulch for growing things. You’ll see. You, or a subsequent owner, will pave it over eventually. And install a hot tub. Fantastic work. Today my body decides to react to Covid booster. Your videos are the perfect antidote. Thanks and blessings.

i can see the older generations working in the courtyard. their routine. simpler life. you did an amazing job restoring it.

Oh I remember it well all the stress and strain…the exhaustion and the delight when you finished another bit…I have loved every video…ther has been happiness and sadness then happiness again with those two who keep you in your toes most nights…and your well…you work very hard you and your brother and let’s not forget his lovely wife…you did an amazing job it looked beautiful at the end…your house next hopefully. X

It all seems so simple, but that’s because you and your brother are super competant. Thanks for another great épisode.

A little or a lotta TLC, goes a long way. You all, should be extremely proud. Excellent work.

The help of God in your hands working hard you created a beautiful home for yourself.🙏🏻

These rebuilding projects are very educational for very young people to learn how to rebuild and pursue their dreams❤❤❤

YOU GUYS AREN'T HUMAN!!! YOU DECENDED FROM HEAVEN ON JACOB'S LADDER!!!!🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

You took an eyesore and a mess and turned it into a work of art. I love the repurposing of the terre cotta tiles, the masonry around the bread oven. Outstanding job!

YOU HAVE A GIFT! You are focused, very organised with a sharp vision on design. Lovely dogs by the way.

Adeus Real Algarve Living 🙋🏻‍♀️ Olá That Blond Guy 🤗

HARD work. Good grief you are astounding ,and your ability to turn tin into gold is wonderful.

I didn't remember it was so bad! You guys must be so happy the house is done and sold... All the pressure gone...

I admire your team's strength in carrying on this big project without the help of a demolition contractor/company.

That was the part l most enjoyed ,,, absolutely AWESOME, YOU ARE ALL TERRIBLY TALENTED❤❤❤

Blimey, what a slog!? Restoration of the chimney was a masterclass. Well done. You turned that courtyard into the most inviting, relaxation/entertainment area, ever. The pizza oven is a winner. The new owners could easily rent it out as a

It amazes me how two people can look at the same thing, one sees demolition and the other sees potential. When the video started I was thinking it would be easier to tear down and start fresh. But wow, what an out come.

I can imagine that courtyard for entertaining with big, long table and a BBQ, lots of fairy lights when it gets dark. It would be stunning!

Fantastic job you have All done it looks amazing. I enjoy watching your video,s James & Christina as well. Thank you 🙏

Andy and James...I have no words to express how satisfying the completion of this renovation has been. Marvelous ❤❤❤🇯🇲

Definately not for the faint-hearted once again!! At times it seems you take your very life in your hands!! Crumbling walls & dizzy heights 😮.....but ....oh the transformations !!!! Awesome....awesome.....awesome Yes... love the rustic look , absolutely love the bread oven the cobbled stonework....very talented workmanship. Wow....what a creative partnership!! Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦 44:37

Excellent Andrew

I had forgotten how bad the courtyard was when you bought the place - WOW! what an incredibly beautiful place you have all created for the lucky new owners!

Great work lads well done..

Easy to see that you've put your blood, sweat, and tears into this place. Great achievement.

Just fabulous. 💫👏💖

Once again, amzing video. You have transformed the courtyard. Well done you all!

Everything you did on this property was just excellent I really enjoyed watching the bits I did Proud you should be

"It turned out just well". Are you kiding? It turned out amazing !!

I think if had been me, I would have done a full demo, saved as much of the original stone to reuse if they could be cleaned. then desgned the courtyard for more modern living without losing the old school charm.

Seeing this again, I marvel at how much work and how many ideas went into the courtyard. Also, it seems to me that the structures in the courtyard were for animals such as chickens, not for humans.

😍Wow! You are making such an amazing job. A labour of ❤. I hope you get to enjoy it for many years. 🇬🇧🇸🇪

Definitely jealous of the new owners who have this gorgeous house hopefully they will get many many long happy years and incredible memories in it

Very interesting video ❤

That wall in the courtyard near the start of the video is gorgeous. I love the character and colours of the stone.

Huge amount of respect. Absolutely stunning. How about a video of the bloopers, there is no way that everything went to plan. Non the less well done to you all.

From the major miracle you pulled off with the house to the second major miracle of that courtyard! I am well impressed.

Such an incredible transformation, you are definitely the most amazing blond guy I have ever enjoyed watching for 18 months 😂. How is your tendon coming along Andrew ?

Began as a nothing short of a nightmare, turned into MAGNIFICENT!

I sure am jealous of the future home owners. Life is difficult, but meeting my end through a loose Portuguese tile or a caved in backyard platform in the next rain storm sounds perfect 🥰

Man, am I thoroughly enjoying these videos. Admire these men's strength and creative talent. Thank you so much for sharing this remarkable remake. Absolutely beautiful work.

The reconstruction of the house, maintaining the native style, respecting materials and giving rise to a modern life but in a traditional environment, demonstrates the good work and respect for the traditions of Portugal, a beautiful country with beautiful people

Your work is sensational, a true professional! Well done! 😊

Never has anybody worked harder. What an ordeal. You must be so proud!

Sorry to have flicked through, but I’ve seen every single vlog from the start and what a great job you’ve all done. Every corner of this property has been done to a tee, you deserve a good margin and a few weeks off the thee of you.

Great work, Portugal should be grateful for all your restoration of the delapidated hovels you bring back to life 👍👍

My backs aching watching this , but lads, what a magnificent job you've made. A total joy to watch. Thank you.

That’s much, much better! You and your brother did a fabulous job❤️🤗🐝

Trash to treasure, shining hidden jewels in the sun!! Awesome job, great work!

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you Andrew, it's so satisfying seeing you guys break down all this old shed's and broken roof and then making a beautiful cort yard wonderful thanks good work 👍😁💪👌👏👏👏.

I can just imagine that court yard with well placed Planters.. fantastic job with it all.

Much admiration. It isn't just having the skills it is also the vision of seeing what it can become.

Wow,you guys are the hardest working dudes this side of Portugal. Nuff respect Bless up 🙏🙏💝.kudos🎉

The only word I can say is exceptional! both worked so hard and got the results.

I love how the back wall reflects the shape of the mountain in the distance. Beautiful result!

Beautiful job, congratulations !

Wow!! We enjoyed watching your video from start to finished. Beautiful court.yard renovation. We are happy you have completed it with greatness. Yourself and the workers are amazing ....

Watching these videos is like therapy! Your previous video showing the 18 month Timelapse was amazing but this courtyard video was a winner.

Andrew. I started watching your channel when James was replacing the pillars in the courtyard. What a mess you guys were facing, and, what beautiful job you have done. This was a pleasure. 👍👍🇨🇦

Some good vino, cheese, and enjoy the stars. Maybe a fountain in the future. The sounds of a fountain are zen.

We have loved every minute of this restoration ❤

The craftsmanship and just plain hard graft shines through in this total transformation. Bravo!

Amazing - so beautiful. Loved you accomplished this with your brother. Blood, sweat and tears. I could only wish to do what you've completed. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sharing this journey. Thank you!

It is uplifting to see something restored, built up and made gorgeous in this world we live in now.

Well done, I'm exhausted!

What a wonderful job of bringing back this ruin to life. the house and courtyard look amazing. well done restoring this beautiful old property.

I'd really like to see the house and the courtyard in use/ decorated and furnished. It was so lovely to see all your hard work become something beautiful!❤

restoring old is not easy like building with new material.... you will never get what you should ...for your labor of love ...of what you do

A great job well done 👌

Recreating that stone floor was a thing of beauty to watch it was so carefully done and looked like with ease wonderful ❤

I blew out my knee just watching you jump off the ladder with that load of tiles. Crikey!!

Beautiful job! It is unbelievable how it looked before and now.

Such a massive job to clear out everything and that’s just the beginning!! Hours of hard work but you two just do it!nothing is too much! Beautiful!

Man! Portugal is such a beautiful country! ❤❤❤

I don't think most of us DIY's can comprehend the magnitude of this project

Amazing to see the start 'till the finish. We as people tend to forget the things that were a challenge. (is also a good thing😉) congrats you super talented and brave beautiful people❤

such a transformation ! thanks for the editing efforts

Looking forward to the transformation of your house Andrew. I can't wait. It's gonna be beautiful no doubt.
