Looking good! I think whitewash is the way to go on these walls rather than paint. The paint spalled off because it does not 'breathe'. So moisture got trapped between the conventional paint and the plaster. Trapped moisture caused the spalling. I like your plans for the room. You may want to put a few finishing nails through the face of the ceiling panels to flatten the sagging areas. Finish nails won't be visible after a coat of paint. It will be fun to see the wood beneath the brown paint. Best of luck! :)

I think what you were peeling off the wall (you referred to it as paint) was the top coat of the plaster. The bigger issue is the incursion of moisture that caused all that damage. Have you looked into that and corrected the problem? What's on the other side of that wall?

no its paint my house did the same thing. Where he applied what was left of the whitewash looks like it was a concrete patch job and someone used regular paint after their repair you can not paint adobe, plaster, gypsum block ,etc it will crack and come off in huge chunks like that

Its paint, theres no top coat just several layers of whitewash, which seems to be the style among the old houses here. Theres nothing that I can tell that would cause moisture issues but maybe there used to be something that isnt there anymore. The other side is a covered area next to the neighbors driveway

This room has a damp problem on that part of the wall, which cannot be solved by painting. You must first remove the dampness and then paint, otherwise the paint will separate from the wall after a short while. And it is not good for health either.

It seems that you are determined to restore the house without changing it much. There are some things that I would completely renovate. The electrical installation is one of them. Those cables are very old and that is dangerous. Especially if you have to leave the house closed for a while due to work... Good luck and enjoy the Portuguese summer.

What a gem of a cottage ! I suppose due to heat you are keeping shutters closed. Love those doors, wooden floor will look beautiful once varnished. Will you use the small room as a dressing room? I too had those Victorian strip ceilings. Underneath were beams and boards. So think about that as you have beastly woodworm in the ceiling and fascia boards and may rather remove them. Thanks for the walkabout!

@@My15KHouseI might be mistaken, but didn't you at one stage have some leakage/seepage from the same area (between your and the neighbour's wall)...? I somehow recall that one of the other rooms was affected by it - through the roof/ceiling. But, I could very well be confusing it with something else, I'd been watching! 😶 🙃 A nice recap video of where you first started, would be welcomed, too. Also, a look at the garden, even if it's a disaster zone; a look at how the streetside paint job, held up, would be a nice video filler, too. That country walk looked so peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful area you find yourself in.

Thats correct, the other bedroom had that problem mainly from the gutter overflowing from being full of stuff, it was a different wall though. I was going to do a garden update video setting up the compost bin the county was giving out but they ran out when they came here and so I have to go to the city hall 30 min away and havent gotten around to it yet, recap is in the works too but for some reason those take longer trying to find all the clips I want. I did actually film a bit for the outside paint after a year but forgot to include it so I'll work it in when I do the next painting video
