Welcome to my diary.
I'm here to show you the joys and reality of renovating a house and garden.
Enjoy watching my journey and hopefully you'll be inspired to do the same (or I might just put you off!)

Intumescent Paint for exposed Steels and Lateral Wall Straps
Update On The Extension: We didn't realise that if we are to expose the steels as per our design we would have to coat them with an intumescent paint! What is that? Thermoguard Thermocoat WI is a water-based intumescent paint system providing fire resistance to structural steel and cast iron. This is the company we use who were very helpful.

Another of our challenges was where to put the lateral Straps (holds the roof to the wall) I'M LEARNING SO MUCH!!

Guttering/ Soffits/ Facias: Time to get Help to remove the Old Cast Iron Guttering

#diy #professionalservice #guttering #soffit #fascias DIY? Heights? Guttering? We didn't feel we could do this ourselves mainly because it's dangerous.. more importantly the husband is afraid of heights... It took him an hour to get out of the attic ! These guys were fantastic: www.cladmaster.com/ FYI I forgot to post this one!
DeWalt Cordless SDS Drill - - Better than a Hammer and Chisel!

#dewalttools #diy #homebuilder #selfbuild #extension I started removing the old blown plaster with a hammer and chisel (which I had previously done on the other wall which gave me a sore thumb!) The Builders (doing the extension) let me borrow the DeWalt Cordless SDS Drill and apart from being a little dustier made the job a lot easier. It was not only much lighter than the one we have (which w...

Are those edible?
Do the posts have a slight shake/flex until the fences are slotted in?
Yes but not much to be honest
Hi, what black hearth did you install in the end after adding your concrete base? Did you get it made to measure or cut it yourself? Thanks!
Hey, sorry I havn't been on social media in a year.... but we did the measurements for it and had a guy cut it to size. It's a matt granite. x
I gutted a 2000 sf 4 square of all the lath and horsehair plaster about 25 years ago. I feel ya.
I hate seeing mushrooms! So gross
Ouch! You’re still getting pressure on that hand so be careful. I took me years to get over that type of injury.
Hi there nice video, I done my fence in 1998, of 14 panels with wooden posts and I want replace them with new plastic panels will it work wooden post galvanised slot on both sides show the plastic panels can fit in is it possible I rather have plastic than wooden panels to last it's lifetime
You have done a very good job.. st least you have found a way to rectify the mould situation.. thumbs up ..
Hi Guys, good job not as easy as people think, good to use the spray bottle and the vacuuming, what you could do is string a line from each end of the chimney breast and that would help you run your bricks in. Also you could dip the bricks in a bucket of water just the bottom of the brick before laying particularly if the bricks are dry and it's the summer time.
Hi there, do you know how deep these posts need to go in the ground relative to their total height? Thx.
I like #Durapost. Installed a few of these. Pour water in the hole fill with postcrete
Hello, nice, great video. Very interesting. Short question: I´m renovating a wall. What mask are you wearing? Best regards😊
Not a bad job in the end. And yes it's harder than it looks! :D
Thank you for this video. I moved intk a old home. We have two growing , same color 😂.
Hi. You helped me a lot in making a decision regarding my fence. I like your panels. Please tell me what type of panels you choose. I want to buy good quality paneles and your looks right . I've seen the link, but them pictures are so artistic that I can not see the "real" panel .
Heya, They’re the Pennine Square Horizontal Panels. Hope that helps. 😊
A useful tip is to always, where possible, start from the higher ground and work your way downwards. That way the panels will step correctly with the ground as you install them and you won't have the problem of the posts being higher or lower than the panel.
Worst video ever
Thanks for this video, i am also facing same situation and was looking for some solution
Fair play not a bad job to be honest
Thank you I find it too 🤢😨

Used to fit windows, this is the dumbest thing I have seen and I have seen so dumb things. Like people breaking the glass instead of taking the strips off and lifting the glass out.
Believing us
I mean u😂
Its not rockwool. Pir and pur are safe
Good to know thank you. I didn't use the goggles and mask the first time and I couldn't open my eyes from the gritty feeling and it felt I had breathed in sand. Maybe I should have said protect yourself from the pain? ☺
The particles go in your eye and it is irritating for the eyes. You do need PPE to work with PIR
That's what I call chalky soil!
Nice video. Love them tight leggings or yours Thong or G.String?
" I'M LEARNING SO MUCH!! " - Me to! It never occurred to me that structural steel could be (or would need to be) fire proofed.
Very good. More informative than the professionals.
Do you always pronounce a’s as u’s ,de wult 🤣🤣🤣
Your first two panels Are low so all you got to went the concrete got of get a bar under the gravel board and prop it up to the level of the top post look much better 😁👍
Were you drunk when you wrote these comments?
Like watching paint dry 😂😂 but put hand up least you give it a go doesn't look too bad 👍
Interesting, I’m liking the idea of Durapost.
I would recommend them, so much nicer looking than concrete posts and easier to lift into the hole and should last longer too.
mini excavator
I am here to learn 😊
The smaller the machine the harder it is to run smoothly. A zero swing means it’s butt or counterbalance does not go past it’s tracks at any point, this is helpful when working in tight spots like in between houses, this one is not a zero turn.
Oh good the girl can do it❤
We certainly can🥳
that is why you should get clumping bamboo! their rhizomes curve straight up from the plant and do not spread everywhere! the shoots usually appear less than a couple inches from the plant.
Absolutely right. My friends have that bamboo that's just beautiful and very well behaved! This bamboo had been allowed to go unchecked for 20 years! I believe it spread from next door but who knows!
@@HousetoHomeDiary Some clumping bamboo species: Bambusa multiplex (Hedge bamboo) 30ft max height, Zone 8. Bambusa oldhamii (Giant Timber Bamboo) 60ft max height, Zone 9. Bambusa chungii (Tropical blue bamboo) 25-30ft (i think) max height, Zone 9. Some species of the genus Fargesia is hardy all the way to zone 5!
Wish I had have known that. Its horizontal growth goes nuts.
It's a lovely plant but if you don't get the right one... it can take over everything. I hope yours can be tackled or restrained. x
