This blogspace chronicles the ups and downs of our house renovation project in Vale de Prazeres, Portugal from first purchase in November 2019.

More than two weeks since the house purchase. We have been doing quite a bit of work, mostly investigation, working out how and why what was done, was done! Some things are a little confusing, not how we would have done it back in UK.

Choosing the house was based on many factors but as everyone says - location, location, location!
We thought about, and probably hoped for, an isolated farmhouse somewhere in the middle of nowhere with plenty of land and lots of fruit and olive trees - just like some of our friends here. But is that really what we want?

The process has started.
We are now owners of a house here in Portugal.
We have waited quite some time to find something that will suit our needs, not only for the present but for the time when we are old, less mobile and less able.
The plan is to provide updates to this log at last on a weekly basis to document our experiences.
