Brothers Bought Abandoned House - Portugal, FULL RENOVATION - TIMELAPSE Start to Finish

I just bought a 450 year old medieval stone house in southern Italy and spent two years renovating it. I had a top-notch crew: architect, builder, plumber, electrician, stone mason, cabinet maker, iron monger (for balcony railings and exterior security gates), but you two are all that poured into just two people!! Great job!

I don’t think I’ve ever watched such back breaking work done by such a minimal crew. You guys are amazing craftsmen and I loved watching this.

As a swedish carpenter i am impressed with that woodwork; the almost over engineered stud work (is that correct, the wood skeleton so to speak). Im so used to cry a little when watching americans and others building with bad thin lumber and sub par building codes. But this was strong, sturdy and exact to the fraction of an inch. It warms my old woodworkers heart!

It’s not renovation- it’s new building!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥

I reside in the USA but Iam originally from Portugal . I so much enjoyed your project from start to finish. Amazing! I spent my childhood in the town of Fatima and at age 11 my parents emigrated to America. I miss my childhood town and this brought back so many memories. Thank you!❤

I’m in awe. For people who have never done this kind of work before, you all accomplished something nothing short of miraculous.

My grandfather passed away before we had YouTube. He was a carpenter and Mason by profession and a jack-of-all-trades. He rebuilt cars and he built his home, just him a couple of friends. He would have gotten so much joy watching this video!

I am a contractor in the United States I really appreciate your video. It was really awesome to watch you guys all work together. You guys are very talented. I enjoyed every minute of it. Maybe one day I can go to Spain because I’m Spanish and buy one of these to fix up but I am 61 so I might need to get a little help. Thank you so much and God bless you guys.

This is what real estate sales reps refer to as "deferred maintenance." YIKES! You've pulled of the seemingly impossible. You've really thrown your nervous system into THIS project. It deserves an upload, as well as cheers from the tribunes. Congratulations! 💯

Thought I was going to struggle to watch an hour and a half rebuild timelapse. How wrong I was. Incredible. I'm so glad this video has gone viral and led me to your channel.

Never never never give up. What a beauty. The neighbors must be over the moon with your labor of love. Beautiful Portugal!!

The best restoration I have ever seen. Done with intentionality, perfect precision and pride on your skills and abilities. Well done. Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.

Your brother, your sister-in-law and you should be very proud. What a wonderful result. Thank you for taking the time to bring us along. Can't wait to see your place come into its own.

That house was an absolute ruin. You’ve achieved a miracle in turning that around. You all must be very proud of your efforts, it looks stunning.

Great job! My son and I rebuilt a 200 year old house About 15 years ago and I sure can appreciate the effort you people put into this rebuild.

You guys are old school hard workers. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed the whole thing

Being a retired bricklayer and building contractor,retired when I was 46. Now 80. Ended up with 14 companies and 170 staff I admired all the effort and workmanship of all the Lads working on this project I would have been more than pleased to have worked with or employed any of them Very well done to all of you regards John M.

It isn't just the work you did but the artistry with which you did it that has so impressed me! I'm a 78 yr old lady in Texas who used to remodel homes. Finding people to do the work wasn't difficult but finding people who CARED about the QUALITY of their work became harder and harder. The older craftsmen cared. But the young people seemed to have lost any pride in their skill. It was all about the paycheck. The result was a loss of joy in the work for everyone on the project. Watching your video I am filled with joy, excitement, and pride for the work YOU are doing.! Oh how BEAUTIFUL IT IS on so many levels!!!!!

I'm from the Algarve, now renovating an old house in the UK. You done a great job there and keeping the Algarve identity... Hats off.

I'm so conflicted here. On one hand as an architect and someone who has also "saved" an old stone house in Eastern Spain I applaud the initiative. However, seeing those fake roof tile panels and watching that brick floor being lifted and not put back, my nutsack shrieks in horror.
