In Portugal we speak Portuguese (maybe you know more about Brazilian Portuguese, but that is a derivation of our language - we discovered Brazil centuries ago :)
Pedro Álvares Cabral? Vasco da Gama? Cristiano Ronaldo? :D
I'm used to English for several years now, so I'm kinda OK with it.
We want the dropped ceiling because we had this open space in the backyard (I don't know if awning is the right word), and we decided to have it closed with sliding doors. It's still a bit cold during the winter because of the tiles, so I'm going to make this ceiling to make the place warmer, more comfy and modern.
Here's an example (not my place specifically) of what it was before having the doors:
It also helps that I'll save a bit of money by doing it with the help of my father in-law, instead of hiring someone.
Thanks for the dropped ceiling data. I understand now. An awning is usually a fixture rather than the architectural feature that yours sounds like. Maybe. Good luck with that project.
BTW even though I live in the US, I am from Britain. So I’m more familiar with Portugal than Brazil, although admittedly I know embarrassingly little about either.
Thanks for the explanation. It seems you're from closer than I thought then :)
Well, all you need to know about Portugal is beaches, some top soccer players and beautiful landscapes. The weather is getting a bit weird now, small tornadoes are starting to show up here and there, no big deal but kinda surprising to see.
You forgot to mention the best drink in the world...
Wait, do you mean Oporto Wine or am I missing out on something? xD
I do mean Oporto Wine (which I know as simply 'port')!
Ah, that makes sense! Haven't touched it in a while, and I have an unopened bottle sitting around, but I know it's very appreciated everywhere :)
