fingers crossed you get more good news with your permits!!

this is my dream a rowhouse or a slender tower wowowowowowowowoowowwoowowow

So much progress! For further sections of the chimney, maybe try rigging a pulley for raising and lowering the bucket so you don't have to go up and down the ladder with it. Safer for you plus pulleys are fun!

Hey Chris, I just wanted to say that these video's have been a big inspiration to me. I admire your work ethic, attitude and creative drive, a lot. Thank you for sharing your journey, because beyond the renovation it's lovely to see the way you handle the situations handed to you, talk about what interests you and share your knowledge.

Get yourself something like a 'Boschhammer'. Take of the plaster with the wide chisel and then hammer into the mortar to losen each brick one by one. Easy and fast job. If you have a construction site, it will pay off in no time. It safes time and money in the long run. ... and will safe your back. Get the right tools for the job(s). BTW you can rent tools. There will be alot more of those jobs in the future. Keep it up! Cheers Ben

Chris, you should invest in a brick hammer! It will repay itself in no time...

You sound like morty at the end there with the bricks from the show brick and morty

Come on... Fuckin' NFT's LOL

14:30 where are your friends at?

I just found your channel and am watching from the beginning (also subscribed). Your project is very well-presented. I have watched some "chateau renovators" channels and replacing structural beams seems to be par for the course in France - they all use loads of house jacks and slot new lumber in, or sister new to old (oh, and permits can take many months). Our house is from 1935, with an upstairs added in about 1970. The crookedness is real: we almost should invest in shims. I applaud your efforts to re-think and re-think plans. If you are going to live there, sweating the details is worthwhile.

Actually, sharing the iterations of your thought process is extremely interesting. When one watches those house flip renovation shows, there's no real discussion of layouts and they seem to always choose easy-but-boring changes.

Yo. A quick lesson on "clinkers" and "salmon" bricks that most people get wrong. It's not how long the bricks were in the kiln. It's where the bricks were located in the kiln. Bricks that were closer to the fire/source of heat would burn, shrink and start to vitrify. This is why they're called clinkers. They literally clink when you hit them with a hammer or against another brick. Salmon bricks were farther away from heat and therefore wouldn't be quite fired enough, but enough to still be considered "fired" and structural, so long as they didn't get exposed to the elements for a long time. They're pretty similar to sandstone in durability. This was about efficiency. You wanted to maximize the use of the heat you were generating with the fire. When someone bought bricks, they would get them by the length of stacked bricks, which means they'd get the full range from clinkers to salmons. The masons would put the nice bricks on the outside of the structure and the salmons and clinkers to the inside. In a 3-wythe wall, the imperfect bricks would go in the middle. For a 2-wythe wall, it was expected that the imperfect bricks would be parged over on the inside of the building with plaster or some other finish.

Be careful. I’m 65 and did a bunch of “hone projects” over the years. Also (like yourself) I was an architect as young man and during that professional career (which included working for a developer) did almost a billion (with a B) in projects. MOST HOMEOWNERS SHOULD HSVE THEIR TOOLS TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM. I get the DIY spirit and people wanting to jump in. You need to make a a good friend of a “contractor person” who can expertly advise (and actually help if needed). Fix the damn building FIRST. Make a strong, watertight structure and then get on with the changes.

Are you able to look into a rubbish chute out the window to minimise the amount of time you are spending running up and down the flights of stairs? That way damaged bricks and the smaller rubble could go down the waste chute and the good bricks you could just store off to the side until you have a full load and take them down seperately? Love your work, keep it up!

Yooo the way she moaned 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The bureaucracy never ends, I’m afraid.

All that bureaucracy. What a nightmare! You are working, in part, to revitalize the neighborhood. One would think they would do everything to facilitate the process for you.

Beautiful Olde Kensington.

fantastic work!

i was wondering if it would be remotely possible to rent or buy those plastic trash chutes that go from high up windows down to a dumpster except you could set yours up to just heap bricks into a pile in your small garden for sorting?

What printer are you using for your prints?

I guess you can say that you've been "bricked?"

Great brick vid.

I love your sense of humor! 😂 love your videos, they’re visually satisfying and very well put together! If this was a television-show before the internet, I’d rush home or reschedule my daily routine to make sure I never missed a show⭐️

You should do a before house and after house comparison of your musculature. That’s a lot of lifting! 💪💪

Hard labor. You're gonna be all muscle by the time you finish this house! Question: What's the make and model of the full face mask/visor you got? Thanks and keep up the great work!

So I want to review Factor for anyone considering and prowling for comments about it. It's expensive and the meals are on the small side (we usually needed a big snack afterwards since we're used to big dinners). BUT, it was great recipe inspo for us for the future. Would've never known of the joy of Florentine chicken without it. We tried the protein-rich meals for two weeks. They were definitely worth it and let us catch up on chores and personal things. But I don't think I will do it again because it was, even with a huge discount, twice as expensive if I had just gone and bought premade meals at the grocery store.

Love seeing you get sponsors! You deserve it!

Sonnel tubes make great shutes for getting rid of rubble from a window to get it to the ground

I used chimney bricks to build a patio and yes they broke later.

2:07 Bruh your gf struggling😂😂

I don't remember if you mentioned it in an earlier video but what programs do you use for the 3D models of the house?

Don’t buy a couch. Maybe a love seat that folds out to a guest bed.

My back hurts just watching you clean those bricks.. Cool you could save some

Nice music choice my man

My hat is off to you for your patience and methodical way of working. Not to mention the joy you find in the most tedious jobs because your eye is on the finished project. Not to mention the healthy exercise!

If there was a “bricks” drinking game, I’d be in the hospital right now. 😂

I kinda see the appeal of corruption, where a stack of benjamins is all the paper you need to submit.

Cool Cool Cool!! You are so cool!!

You should add a cyclone to your vacuum. That way most of the stuff gets separated before it reaches the filters and you can put a trash bag inside so the stuff gets bagged from the start 😀

Talk about getting bricked up... 😹

Wow. Talk about Sweat Equity! Impressive.

wow the time and money spend on permits is pretty steep man, surely that's not good for the economy

Chemny Chemny we love Chemnys ❤️ 😂

😊

I would recommend not putting anything comfortable in a studio. It’s a room to get work done and your mind needs to think that when you’re in that space. It’s the opposite of a bedroom. You want a bedroom to be a place to sleep (and relax) that doesn’t remind you of work.

How does it feel to be so featured in MKBHD’s videos with your wallpaper set?

You need to have a brick party. Setup an assembly line to move the rubble faster .more hands , faster work and fun for all. I envision a brick bar -b-que and pizza oven for the back yard.

Ouch!!
