I am just going to say it.... Tiffany Stole the Show! And you could tell that she was really working hard. Excellent Dad Lesson!
And what a clever girl she will be with a Dad like that!
Yeah she definitely looks like a do-it-yourself kind of girl not a wait around for somebody else to do it.
She gently removed the bricks. She tried different tools. Yeah.
Daughters always love helping and being with their dad, I know I did. I miss him sooo much ❤
It seems that there are no impossible tasks for the author. He clearly sets a task for himself, outlines ways to solve it and carries it out. I admire your hard work! Bravo!
The mans a genius! I love watching your films, so incise and informative, one day your children will realise what a complete engineer you are..❤
I just learned what tool makes those sets of scraping marks on stone and your demonstration for the umbrella mounts was perfect! Glad you kept that arch in the wall! There is method to this madness! Love it!
Beautiful. You're so skilled, patient and hard working.
this video reminds me of the time when I was a child and my parents built their house. Besides the shell, they also did most of the stuff inside and outside by themselves and tought me a lot of stuff. Thank you for sharing 😊
I loved the finesse of removing the PVC door sill. Starts by neatly cutting it off with a saw. Ends by smacking it with a hammer.
OMG I just watched 53 min of pure craftsmanship magic and am deeply saddened it‘s „already over“… 😮 looking forward to the next one, you are my hero in regards to overall skills but also patience… 😍💪
The lead topped nail was used by a gardener to dix a rose cane or vine to the wall. Nice work you are doing.
No talking. No music. This shouldn't be watchable but is so addictive. A true craftsman that with a little thought can throw his hand to anything. Great work sir 👍
Brilliant job. Such skills and no annoying music. I so admire your workmanship and attention to detail. Great to have your little helper involved too 😊
It is watchable precisely for those reasons. Awful, inappropriate stock music, time-lapses, and egotistical presenters / commentaries are a major turn off.
No talking and no music is exactly why this is watchable. I don't understand how anyone thinks those things, especially music, would _add_ to the experience.
My sentiments exactly. The videos on this channel are mezmerizing.
You don't need music or talking to watch fabulous skills being shared, actual skills at that ,that 90% of us would use and find useful at some point. I think its a brilliant channel.
I am no expert, only the work I do around my home. In my opinion, you did an excellent job. Lots of patience and understanding of the principles of what you were doing. Great job. Can't wait for part 2.
How sweet to see this little (daughter?) here experiencing and learning how to do creative work.
A superb transformation and a joy to watch. Thanks for posting it - now I'll be waiting for the next part. 👍👍
Just lovely. Very satisfying to watch you work.
Whats happened to the water running under the tiles from Rain and if you clean them? I saw no drain? Standing water, if it's high enough, starts to stink after a wile. thx for sharing the new journey to rebuild your garden. its a pleasure to watch
that was one of my concerns - potential breeding grounds for mosquitoes / etc.
my other concern is that the slabs are only supported at the corners - from somewhat similar experience i’d say there’s a good chance that sooner or later you’ll start getting cracks (but obviously i really hope not!!)
no denying it looks amazing though
43:49 the front portion, where the water would drain, is sealed off. So I too am wondering about drainage.
Did you not see the water running down from the house to the alleyway when he was hosing the concrete off? There will have been a slight fall put on it when it was laid.
@@bren106nope, he blocked this with the cemented steps on the front, standing water at your building foundation, recipe for disaster later
If y'all go to about 19:40 you will see a grated drain basin for drainage.
Really laughed when your daughter appeared in the cardboard box. What a great start to my Sunday morning. As others have commented, no music, superb craftsmanship and beautiful to watch. Can't wait for the next one.
The cut tile corners for reinforcement....🤤 Brilliant! Love this video.
What patience you have - well done. Can't wait for stage two.
Great work here! And v cute seeing your trainee: it brought back memories of when i used to "help" with breeze blocks and a chisel as a kid
This raised pavement is a thing. Have never seen this technology before. Solid job!
With the slabs rising like that, aren't they super flimsy? Like if you drop something or fall on a space between support, wouldn't the slabs break?
It looks really good. I don't know if you did or not - it wasn't in the video - but if the concrete on the bottom isn't etched, roughed, or primed new concrete may not stick to it.
Yes I watched the whole thing. Thank you for your dedication to quality.
I just subscribed to your inspirational channel. Wow! Thanks for posting this amazing transformation. Looking forward to following your projects. Keep your light shining bright. Cheers from Vancouver Island, B.C. Canada
The "old lead topped nail" you found is used to hold the wires that support climbing plants and you can still buy them.
BEAUTIFUL work as always!
You are a true craftsman 👍
Really enjoyed watching this 👍🏻 thanks for posting
Fascinating video. I became totally hooked and am now a subscriber.
Really nice work (as always!). That ochre chimney-pot will make a fine planter.
The lead top nail is the old post office (British Telecom)nails with a lead prong for wrapping around the cable and holding it in place
Good to see you passing on skills and confidence to Tiffany!
Really brilliant job ..no end to your talents...
My husband bought me a pointing trowel years ago!!! I'm no expert but I've used it quite a bit over the years!!!😂😂😂😂
The weeds at the beginning look like borage or maybe comfrey. Bees love both. Comfrey leaves make an excellent fertiliser.
That dirt feather on top of cement was to catch overflow of rain water and to sit big flower pots on top of.
J'apprécie beaucoup ces longues vidéos, merci😊
Caspita che lavoro di fino, molto bravo e precisissimo!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fine work as always. Just as my medical problems are coming to an end, so I can be inspired to resume work on my own home!
Slightly too sunny in t’Shire of York? Pffrrrt!
Stunning work!
Fantastic job. Your attention to detail is a joy to watch.
Well done.It looks so lovely.x
My beef is that it is hard to watch the video without being inspired to stop watching and go do what he is doing at my house.
Looks great !
At 1:55 : Those aren't weeds - that's Comfrey! An amazing plant that's super hardy - you can chop it down to the roots (and make amazing compost/tea with the stems and leaves), and it'll come back. The most common variant has been bred to be sterile (Bocking 14), but you can propagate via root division.
always a treat, your uploads
ta
p.s. 16:10 "when i nod my head you hit it"
Great job well done,cannot wait for part 2.
Bravo, looking great
It's gorgeous but I seriously question the thinner slabs with the little support in their centers.
Let's do a jump test! I'm excited to see how well the engineering design holds up.
I'm only 15 minutes in, just a note of caution, if your morter is stronger than the old bricks, the bricks will start crumbling with frost cycles. Something to keep an eye on
Love this! Also really satisfying how perfectly that umbrella opened, cleared the wall/fence, and fit the space. Question, at 5:45 or so, are those arched bricks down low behind that feature, the top of some sort of cellar window/door?
"They were taking too long to decompose" - I had a good snigger at that.
AMAZING work!!!
Really enjoy your show from here in Canada. I have one question after watching tonight's episode on building the patio: How will the water drain that seeps through the gaps between the tiles? It looked to me as if you laid down a concrete barrier at the steps end that would prevent any water from escaping. I must be missing something. Maybe you could explain in the next episode how the area under the patio will drain. Thanks.
Love watching you work, such skill. One question,, have you ever made a guitar? I have made a couple, I would love to see your take on one, thank you for being so entertaining
Bob
Das sieht schon super aus!👍✌
The "weed" looks a lot like "Borago officinalis", but I'm only guessing...
That brick valve looks really intriguing (must be the top of an opening)!
I guess your lovely assistant might have more issues with microplastics than you seem to have...
Just nine minutes in here, and I'm *so* curious about that ground level arch in the brick wall. I doubt you're going to dig up the entire garden in a single video, so I'm guessing it'll remain a mystery, but... secret basement? Tunnel underneath the neighbours'?
Love antique bricks…
Great video, ps the weird old lead covered nail is an old cable tie
Repointing is tedious. Good for you for taking the time to do it correctly. Nice job overall.
“Jankiness” 😂
Beautiful ❤
Many years ago we used those jacks for a coms center for BAE so all cables could be accesed at any time. They had a 600×600×45 chipboard tile with a steel base. All the jacks were also epoxy resined to the concrete floor. Will those porcelain tiles take a hit and not break?
Nice job, well thought through
Lovely!
I was wondering how the water that falls between the tiles get away, does the original floor fall towards the two gullies or did it also drop away to the rear which appears to now be barred? I shouldn't think for one moment this has not been built into the plan, but it just made me think.
What a man!
"Jankiness" - a specific state of mechanical disrepair which can be remedied by the use of a mother-of-all angle grinder cut-off wheel surgically operated only by a Yorkshireman.
Great job! Where does your water run off from under the pavers go?
Nice work...❤
Soooo beautiful … Subscribed…🎉
Did you see the brick arch by the Flower Bed ??? 😮
Way to go girl🌹🌹🌹
7:01 nice!
i wonder why you have the top of a brick arch at the bottom of the wall?? do you have a cellar that you havent discovered yet? And the weird lead topped nail is a cable clip, the lead gets formed round the cable.
Hi Russ, I’ve been following you for some time on you tube now and all your work and videos are ace. What blade is in the TS55, I recently bought the Festool DSC AG which is the 125mm disc cutter for the track system but it doesn’t cut mitres! Looks like I could just have got a blade for one of my TS55’s. I see the blade size is available online just wondered what blade you used as it looked to make good cuts. Keep making the vids I pick up loads of tips from you. Jamie
Tidy job.... wife wants one of those wall mounted parasols... the link to to one on Amazon doesn't have the brackets? Were they a separate buy?
mooi gemaakt!
Do we know what’s underneath that low level ached brick-work in the wall - hidden scullery ? Ducted stream ?
A pipping bag may be helpful with the repointing
How do you propose to clear the drains when they block with debris from the gutters?
Is there a drain under the pavers so water doesn't get trapped?
What ist patience! 😊❤
Anybody else cringe when he took the tool to the stone before attaching the umbrella? Noooo! You’re defacing the original material!!
wont the stone slabs break, because there is support under the center?
I encourage you to jump around on those tiles. Maybe you'll learn something about building.
Hope the neighbours are doing well...
The weird nail was used by the GPO to fasten telephone wires
I'm no expert but that crumbling wall looks like a part of an old building, that arch at the bottom seems to be an old window?
22:59 always align off of a doorway
I wish I could find a man who can do things like this. I love projects like this. Maybe I need to move!!😂😂😂
Why rising it so much? Those tiles will not hold… the high beds will probably just crumble out…
Great watch !! F 64 Manchester. 😁
The slabs are going to break laying them like that bud
Nice raised patio but it is also a Rat's mansion underneath it. I had one next-door so I thought I mention it.
Cute kids
Just getting started. THANK YOU for a quiet video with description - no words - no music just ambient sounds. It's lovely and inspiring to watch this total upgrade. Lots of great ideas.
Agreed, I get drawn in much more with just ambient sounds. The 'story' is so much better!
"Hmmm. This video is nearly an hour long. May just skim through it." 3 minutes later... full screen mode and leaning back with a cup of coffee. Brilliant stuff every time from NYW.
Yes! There is something mesmerizing about the videos on this channel. Relaxing to watch without any gimicky music, and I learned so much.
Haha! Exactly what first thought, then did!amazing work and skill. I'm hooked.
I appreciate how he shows a technique the first time, like the 45 degree cuts, then shows the results for the subsequent items. Many content creators pad their video with repetition. Not NYW. This is why I never skip through. I don’t want to miss anything.
And it's my work time
What thorough, precise work. Great job.
Good for you for teaching the little one to be self reliant. My grandpa showed me how to use tools as a little girl and I will always be indebted to him for those invaluable skills.
Exactly that! I said the same thing, skills being taught that will at some point be needed.
Schools should take on that approach and adjust the mainstream to incorporate real life skills.
@@janeevans4758being somewhat ancient they certainly used to when I was at school with woodwork, metalwork, cookery and sewing. I have absolutely no idea if they still do and I suspect not which is such a shame.
Next weeks episode : Heating up the hypocaust for the first time .😉
BTW...the lilac Flower is a medical plant called Comfrey and yes bees absolutely love them.
And makes the best plant food. Wait for the flowers to pass, cut down and drown in water for 6 weeks. The plant will return next year.
If its the wild variety it will spread like crazy. Nightmare but yes bees love it.
@@tmyersf4 Yes, it DOES spread like crazy. Be careful where you plant it everyone and count on it coming up all around the original planting and beyond.
😊
@@dao8805 Lol, I bought some comfrey for my garden a couple of years ago, but my slugs were tougher than the comfrey, so I'm now on the lookout for some more!
