Just dropped a glass baking dish on my ceramic floor. If you spend a lot of time standing in the kitchen, i would definitely go for wood. Wood gives such a wonderful warmth to a space. Same of the stairs. less breakage when you drop things too!

I thought of a Tig Red carpet over the stairs warm on the feed no pain if you fall.😇

If you ever want to drill into your floor and need to find your in-floor heating tubes, turn on the heater and let the floor START to warm up, then use an infrared thermal temperature gun or better yet, an inexpensive infrared thermal imaging camera - you can detect the higher temperature of the coils versus the surrounding concrete/flooring.

So different from American construction! As for the stairs, the island, backsplash and even the floor, Portugal has some amazing colored/painted tiles that are so beautiful and very part of Portuguese culture and history. Might be amazing to add those to the mill. I might also have stair carpet rod holders installed and put a raffia runner down those stairs for traction and safety. Of course wood would be beautiful on the floor and stairs if it truly conducts the hydro heat well.

@themomandthemaverick 2 дня назад

Gardener here. When your tomatoes split like that it means they went to long without proper water and then were given excessive water. Causing them to grow to fast after sitting and growing to slow. Which is why it split the skin. Hope that helps sometimes a weeper hose on high water content plants is better than watering by hand. You run the hose set it to a timer and have it run for a nice amount of time (hours) since it only puts out a very small amount of water at a time. Less if it is rainy. I ran a garden and farm stand business offering a large variety. So we actually had 120 plants, so I am well versed and learned what is best for plants.

@Mrandmrsadventure 2 дня назад

So good to know! Thank for taking the time to share your wisdom and advice, greatly appreciated. We will try and set up a drip line system soon 💦🌱🍅

@kururugi-san266 2 дня назад

Hey, what do you guys planning to use for internet connection for the future? By the way, concrete and stone walls block wifi much more than drywall. So, for the inside of the mill you may want to put access points or mesh system for wireless connection. I suggest pull cat6 wires to where you will be installing those.

@Mrandmrsadventure 2 дня назад

@AdamofCA. 2 дня назад

Screens (for 10 windows) were the first thing i replaced in my bungalow in central CA (45 miles south of Modesto, CA.). the old ones were rusty. That allows the cool breeze to replace the warm air in the evenings after the sunset.

Hey guys I have been watching this project from day one. What an amazing job you have done so far, any chance of a cost breakdown at some stage? Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your lives.

@wearedahlin7103 23 часа назад

I agree that would be super interesting! I’m a builder in the states and so curious what the cost is of building in Portugal, especially with such a professional team. It’s been an absolute pleasure watching the progress 😊 what a great home you’re both creating with your team of workers!

@randyholloway920 2 дня назад

In general, I believe one type of flooring throughout a house is best, at least by floor. It keeps sight lines clean, overall better aesthetically, easier to clean and maintain and doesn’t make things choppy looking with multiple different materials. For your downstairs tile, I’d recommend porcelain over ceramic because is is more durable and easier to care for and it’s less slippery. Not sure about cork upstairs. You can get acoustic tile that is more durable than cork. However, cork will feel better to walk on with bare feet. If you’re going to have any rugs, throw or area, that won’t matter. What else can you source in Portugal? If you are in a tropical environment, I’d even consider bamboo. IAE, or course some great Portuguese tiles will be amazing. Great progress! It’s always exciting to see things start to take shape and get to the finishing stage.

@juergenzenner4219 2 дня назад

No wood in the kitchen.. very difficult to clean. There is always oil spill from the oven which makes the floor ugly. You have floor heating also I would suggest tiling…..for the stairs I would suggest wood

@maricogan2903 2 дня назад

I live in Coastal northeast Florida, and I’m thinking about Drew‘s parents today. Thank you for the update yesterday. During hurricane Michael and Ian we were underwater. After Michael, a local contractor restored properties using marine lumber to replace the floor and to make wainescoating around the ground floor rooms. This is the same wood they use for boats. It is resistant to salt water intrusion. When these homes were flooded again during hurricane Ian, there was no restoration necessary, just cleanup, and allowing the wood to dry.

They also make a 4×8 sheet of slate / fireproof / which is super for insulating behind , if ever putting in a wood burning heat unit. Tiles or bricks attach well to this material. Waterproof, too.

@gerritdyck5897 57 минут назад

Also when you heat the floor for the first time you must build the heat with maximum 1⁰ up on 24 Hr. Till you reach the temperatuur you like

@gerritdyck5897 Час назад

Normal you fill the floorheating with fluid and put pressure on before putting the cement on top. Than you have control that the system is not leaking

@zorrorides1 2 дня назад

Take lots of pictures with measuring references of that underfloor heating system. Sooner or later, it will spring a leak! A leak in the tubing can and will follow along next to a tube for an unknown distance before it surfaces up through your flooring. You will then have to break out floor until you find the actual tubing leak. Knowing the layout of the tubing at that time does help a little. It did happen to me and I was lucky. I only had to bust out about 30 sq feet of floor to find and repair the leak and then the floor and floor covering. Of course they assured me it would never leak. Hah.

Big windows in this part of the world are counter productive, they let TOO much sun and heat in, it's the reason so many houses down there and south Spain have small windows and thick walls. Also, when its daylight you wouldnt be inside anyway 😂

Also when renovating a ruin, there are some strict rules about making windows and doors larger. Very expensive to get permits to change . Architects and engineers have to get installed.

@janeising3585 2 дня назад

It looks amazing, what a work crew. In my house in the Netherlands we also have underfloor heating, we chose 0.60x0.60 stone tiles, keeps the heat longer en its cooler in the summer. You have a large room, do not go for small tiles, it will look very busy. The tubing of the floor heating sits in the island wall? Be aware, if you put the pump in there, that pump makes noise during the time you using the underfloor heating.

@Mrandmrsadventure 2 дня назад

What an amazing team you have been blessed with to do this project with. Their skill & diversity of talents is inspiring, they make it all look so easy (i know it's not). I think a nice timber stairway would work best. A softer landing & warmer feel to it too. The transformation is fascinating. Love the idea of cork tiling too, I've used that myself, it's timeless & very serviceable.

Portuguese Tiles for downstairs. It’s more durable. Good for high traffic and pets. Wood requires a lot of upkeep and if it ever flooded in your area, wood would warp.

The treat left on the plate is likely a cultural way of saying thank you. Leaving one signifies you liked it enough to eat it all but were full enough to not need the last one. I believe it came from the times when the fancy foods would be cooked by chefs for the rich and the rich would leave them one as a thank you when they really enjoyed it.

Spread a teaspoon of the pulp in a pot & select the best/strongest plants. Plant next to a trellis or wire fence or a lattice. Your climate is perfect for it. Just be patient, they will really only bear fruit after 2 yrs. You won't regret it. If you have a long fence, plant them about 2m/6ft apart.
