BUILDING FROM STONE With Help From Professional Stone Masons OFF GRID STONE BARN RENOVATION 

Now you know we hired him ;) I am one happy girl xxxx Thank you

He is definitely the one you want to build your dream kitchen or a house xxx

:) I am born under a lucky star I guess ... some say I am the lucky one ;) And I do know that ... :) G

I noticed that he works without gloves.. incredible..😮

who needs gloves????? not the real stonemasons ;) not Titans ... xxx

and they hands so soft .. just Joking Liz ... :) I don't know ... just joking G

@@portugalitis 😂😂🤣

Thank you very much Liz !!! To be honest I think Andrius chosen very good music .. I will send you some file with all videos which I filmed LOL ;) Hope you well xxxx G

Ya know, this vid struck me as an expository documentary that very well captured a cultursl practice unique to Portugal. Idk how to go about it, but i think it's worth shopping to like BBC, PBS in the U.S., NHK in Japan, National Geographic, etc. The Portuguese town in Portugal is Monsanto, the typical house of at least Central Portugal are granite stone houses. To be young men in Portugal crafting buildings in old school, ancient ways is rare, no? It's unique, just like the way Ken's friend Joachim farm Soaleira and is often featured on OKportugal. Their mastery is rare and disappearing? And with vids like yours you are capturing and recording essential culture of Portugal. You, among many who moved from all over the world to make Portugal their forever home and live simpler and happier lives. This all just is so mind blowing to me, i'm so impressed. I really wish i was wealthy to be able to support my fave channels like a patron

The message below is spot on.. you have captured the essence of traditional craftsmen and should be used by the BBC or elsewhere around the world.. xx

Ahh Ruth You made me eyes teary !!!! and that's not happen often now ;) as I became a tough woman LOL (just joking) I think that's what I wanted to capture the hard work the amazing work and the young man who hopefully will be very successful in his carrier Kisses and hugs GG

I think there was a little bit of showing off.😊 However he is creating a thing of great beauty, so all is forgiven. Why not ask for help lifting some of those stones? So hard on his back.

well we creating a show so he just done a magnificent job ;) spoiler alert he will have help in a future lifting as some of them are very heavy xxx

wow .... ;)

Thank you very much! They are brilliant

If you look closely you’ll notice they are lifting using their leg muscles to protect their backs. I think they deserve more credit for working smarter.

@@portugalitis My joints are creaky and can be ouchy from being "older" even without hauling boulders in my younger days like those guys. God bless them. AndriusMachine too. I saw this great tshirt that read: When they say "Enjoy it while you're young," they mean your BACK and your KNEES. 😄 I'll testify that's true, i'm 63.

Andrius suffering already with his back pain .. he is taking easy now ..

:)

Indeed :)
