This week on our stone house renovation, we learnt a hard lesson about trusting our gut, as we hit a stumbling block that we should’ve seen coming (well Ricky kinda did)!
If building your own home as amateurs has a steep learning curve, this week was a bit of a rollercoaster as we tried to overcome problems making our own DIY hand poured concrete window sills in preparation for our new tiny house windows. Our cute stone cottage has lots of charm and character, but unfortunately no straight lines and this is where the trouble began! Making mistakes comes hand in hand when building a home with no experience and we've had to accept that. We're quickly learning that the key is to not get too down or frustrated by it, learn from it, pick yourself up and have another go.
We can’t afford any further delays as the hot weather is just around the corner and we have some huge home transformations to make before summer arrives at the farm!
LIKE THIS VIDEO if you enjoyed it & SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey as we document our life here in Portugal & the many DIY projects that we'll be tackling including renovating a tiny stone home, setting up systems to grow some of our own food & finally restoring the 100+ year old farm house.
Also say hi in the comments! We'd love to hear from you 😊
Ricky & Victoria x
-------------
We're Ricky & Victoria 👋 We're slowly bringing an abandoned off grid Portuguese farm back to life & transforming it into a beautiful homestead for us & our two rescue dogs Teddy & Poppy.
We both agree that we’re not experts in anything that we do here, however we don’t let that stop us from giving it a try. We live our life by trying. We live our life by doing. We live our LIFE BY LIVING.

We have a lot of Hummingbirds here, and it would be so cool to watch them come to the feeder.

I was an avid outdoorsman person and spent from sun rise to sun set outdoors. I was hit by a pickup truck while out walking in January 2016. My life has changed drastically and I miss the outside.

The sills turned out really nice in the end. With the Jurassic weed could you make a cut and hole in a plant pot so that it can be slid around the base of the stem to protect it from the strimmer blade. See how high it gets before it falls over or Jack comes scrambling down followed by an angry giant.

Hi guys, fun video! That "mighty weed" of yours is actually mullein. It is a wonderful healing herb for lung ailments/coughs and such. You could dry the leaves and cut the flowers off the stalk and dry them. You'll have a lovely tea should you get a chest cold. Pour the tea thru a coffee filter, to catch the little hairs from the leaves so they won't irritate your throat, Best wishes from Karin, herbalist in Wyoming.

The colour match of the concrete sills is absolutely perfect! Can’t wait to see them once you have them all installed!

That tall weed might be a Mullein plant which is medicinal and the big leaves make wilderness toilet paper. I couldn’t see up close to be sure. The yellow flowers are a sign it is a Mullein plant too. The leaves have a soft fuzziness on them. Mullein is very good for the lungs! I love how the stone house is looking! Great job you two!!! 💖🌷 Maybe make a form to make a concrete chunk that when dry you pull out of the form and then point it in and set it up on the window, after a layer of point or concrete mud smoothed down. Make it a bit thick so not too runny. It will be like you made a homemade stone. Just an idea. I haven’t finished the video yet, not sure if you already came up with a solution! 😁 Oops! Finished the video and you did just that with the forms, even with color and a slight slant. The concrete window seal turned out beautiful! Awesome job! 😍

@LifebyLiving 13 дней назад

@georgevangordon9728 13 дней назад

Hi guys , another great video A couple of tips ,1 when using you rip saw set your blade depth to just 3mm more than the wood your cutting ,it will cut a lot easier and leave a better edge 2 you should have put a little reinforcing in your castings I'm looking forward to seeing you getting them off the OSB (please let them harden for a week or more ) Good luck

@LifebyLiving 13 дней назад

We actually moved one already & it came off the osb with next to no effort. The oil seems to have done the trick. We did consider rebar but with it being such a thin slab opted against it. However this was decided when the plan was to pour in situ. On reflection, probably would have been prudent to add it once we changed plans but it just slipped our minds at the time. Hey ho. You live & you learn!
