The experience

My grandparents used to live here but they passed away so this is not just an old house but a loved home. Now we're turning it into student housing (there's a big housing crisis in Portugal now)

The house is already livable but still needs work to be fully concluded. At the moment we're fighting with a water infiltration and also need a lot of restauration work - sanding, painting
