    I just watched your video…interesting. I’ve been wearing barefoot for a year. I have tried both. I was diagnosed with Footdrop in my left foot 2 years ago, lots of tests & only diagnosis was muscle weakness. I tried zero drop after I found walking barefoot meant I could actually walk, but I then went to barefoot & have not looked back…even finding strengthening in my muscles. I would add I’ve always worn flat shoes, no high heels - ever, so I don’t know if this helped with my quick transition

    RE: those fireplaces? Even though you likely have access to pretty cheap firewood -- if financially possible, I'd invest in converting ALL OF THEM to pellet stoves. Unless of course, you want to be a lifetime slave to buying (or chopping and splitting) wood, carrying wood, laboriously building wood fires, cleaning up the ash piles, etc. Don't know if huge bags of pellets are cheap in Sweden (they are elsewhere). And, RE: the electrics? IF you can afford it, I would rewire the whole house, starting with a proper circuit breaker box. The fire hazard in an all-wood structure, with ye olde-timey fuses and god-knows what inside the walls . . . would seem to be extreme. Re: long-run heating? IF (sometime) you can afford it, a ground pipe GEOTHERMAL / heat pump system to replace all your boilers (and maybe even power the under-floor heating) would be AWESOME. Along with (of course -- SHRIEK -- completing insulation and dual-pane windows throughout. GOOD THING THAT YOU'RE YOUNG!!! Anyhow, VERY fun video, thank you and GOOD LUCK with all of it!

    Like you said insulation is important. I grew up in northern Wisconsin in the states where we have some of the widest temperature swings in the US. We grew up with 10-14 days of winter reaching -26C with 1-3 of those day reaching -40C. We also had several weeks in summer reaching 34C and even a day or two up to 39C. Insulation made a huge difference in heating and cooling. It is the largest expense of any old home, and where comfort becomes an issue quite quickly. During summers you want to ensure you have great airflow. So at night when it is a reasonable temperature you can open your windows and let the cooler air in at night and close them up and keep the cooler air in during the day. I would leave those boards on the lower ceiling. That will help the heat move upstairs better. If you want a different look I suggest white washing the boards if you want to lighten it up. I myself would prefer the natural wood look. But we all have different tastes. What I would do ASAP is get someone with a FLIR camera who specializes in energy efficiency for homes. During the winter it is much easier to see exactly where you are losing heat and figure out the best ways to tackle it from there. Around windows, especially older ones is one of the most likely sources.

    Its beautiful but there's nothing more demoralising than a cold house . I'm assuming you're rushing the work needed to get those chimney back in action ? in the meantime install some cheap Chinese diesel heaters . You can buy all in one units very inexpensively ( 100 euros ) that only need small exit for the exhaust then they're up and running immediately . A cheap easy way to heat spaces quickly !!

    Wow! It must’ve been quite the shock to see all those trees taken down. But since a lot of them actually were sick, I guess it may be a good thing to keep the forest healthier. They also seemed to be selective in which ones they took because there were “patches” of trees left behind where they were logging. Hopefully they’ve done it in a clean matter since it can be very dirty for the environment besides just taking down the trees.

    The house is so cute!! That’s really scary though with the electrical panel in the bathroom. That doesn’t seem very safe. It probably wouldn’t be difficult to have that moved. It’s either move that or the entire bathroom which seems like it’d be more work. You can probably get quotes to see what works best for you and your wallet. Can’t wait to see all you do in your new home! It has a lot of potential.
