As a Builder with 42 years behind me, I was pleased that you guys were wearing "reasonable" quality face masks. Especially as I now have Lung Fibrosis from all the dust from the many many renovations I completed in my Career. Good job lads.
Damn! So sorry! We didn't "know better" 40 years ago. I remember helping a friend tear down a wall and being sick as a dog the next day from the crap we enhaled. 😢
Many 'outsiders' have bought abandoned houses here in Normandy, France. They’re restoring them to their former glory, often using traditional methods aswell. It's amazing to see others interested in our building culture and working to preserve it, especially when locals sometimes struggle to do so. So, thank you, and welcome to France.
In a world full on anger and conflict, it's like therapy to see nice, regular folk working hard, and with good humor, to bring new life to something that has fallen into dereliction. Great work, gentlemen, and thank you for sharing the process with us!
As a french I support this kind of project. No matter how you paid it, you give value to this house and this village with this work. Instead of letting this house decay, it will now be used. I bought a similar building and paid about 200€/sqm, now 3 people are living in my 3 appartements.

@@capuchinosofia4771 maybe it is tackling the notion that people come from the outside and buy up property, making it more expensive for locals, which is especially the case for all the touristy areas.

For the "foreigners" or generally often wealthier millenials from larger cities, moving to the country side to rebuild an old house is something more ideological, going along with modern trends of degrowth, slow-living, sustainable living or the popular van-life.

Many people despise manual work. They should see this: pure genius at work. I’m a teacher in France and always tell the kids that intelligence comes in so many different ways.
Exactly. Intelligence isn't a one way street but society seems to think so and letting some children believe they can't accomplish anything if they don't fit the standard. Glad to see you changing the narrative as a teacher ❤
My family bought an old house every year to renovate and this is pretty much what we did. Dad bought an old house, we tore it down usually to the frame, replaced beams, floors, staircases, wall studs and walls, totally updated kitchens and bathrooms. Sometimes we even bought apartment hotels, apartment houses, you name it!!!!
This inspires me to buy an older home somewhere in Europe and renovate it as a second home for myself and family to visit each year. The rural villages can benefit from this new economic activity. I can't wait to see the project's completion!
The original builders of that home would be so impressed and grateful that you are renovating their work, a task into which they invested lifetime. I LOVE the stairway!! Craftsmanship of another century!!
I would have started at the top and worked down. Removing a these walls and floors first seems a bad idea to me as there is hardy space to stand on floor to do the renovating. Especially as a amateur you don‘t know exactly which beams/timber and walls are essencial for the stabilisation of the house.
@@JackSmith-t2p Actually, in small villages in France, there are plenty of cheap houses like this one. I know a guy who bought 3 House for €60k but with all the renovations to make of course
TALK ABOUT A GUT JOB, OH MY GOODNESS. Studs taking it down to the studs! So sorry the wood was so badly damaged, what a load of work for you 3. But when it'll be done, what a grand lady she will be! Well done gents!
So, I'm an architect and I'm employed at a building enterprise in Italy, so I guess I think I can freely express my thoughts😄 First of all I love your job, because no modern building can be as charming as an old house, and I would like very much to have the chance to start a little adventure as you did. This said, your demolition management scared me up! You really shouldn't rely on the fact that everything's going to be fine: I didn't see any prop to support the wooden ceiling while cutting it, and also, all the rubble you let falling on the weak old floor could have broken through, let's ignore weakening the whole old structure by bumping on it. Also, no one seemed to be tied up with a safety line, working up there. By the way, I'm not criticising at all, as I said I'm happy with your job and your enthusism, you are going to enjoy your house very much! Keep going!
You are absolutely crazy. This kind of old stairway are EVERYWHERE in France, so they have absolutely no value. Even if you give it for free no one would pick it.
@@Wayne72LEVRAI It' you who are crazy, the stair are more than 15000, in France it's normaly houses whith only one floor, the stair are "rare" and in my country more a house or furniture is old more the price is high (if the product is in good condition of course). For comparison, the stair that I am in the process of building cost more than 10000 and it's "modern" (and therefore less expensive because more common)

What a nice walk down memory lane today !!! Beautiful music in the background too ❤ Look at “ our “ Ryan -- got himself a house AND a wife !!! Wishing you all the happiness and many years to share in your home together ❤❤😘. Can’t wait to see the next installments of the renovation 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes. I’m trying very hard myself to understand. Obviously must have worked because the house is still standing. I believe it’s a 17th century built home
It's wood floors covered with packed dirt and tiles on top of the dirt. I believe it was for sound dampening and insulation. There was much less likely to be a fire as long as the chimneys were cleaned or lightning didn't strike. Actually, practically impossible for a fire to start if a fire spilled onto the tiles.
My first house i brought cost 17k, in the usa. We had to completely gut the whole house, and start from scratch. Great adventurres await you! Keep up the good work.
I am happy you're back Ryan. Congratulations on your wedding and wishing you much happiness. It's nice to see the work on your house commencing. You are blessed with many great friends.
So happy that you're back! Missed you and your videos so much! Really enjoy your humor and your positivity. Congratulations on your marriage! 🎉 Wish you both a lifetime of happiness❤
Hi Ryan first of all let me congratulate you on your marriage,I hope you will always be happy, your a lovely human being and deserve only good things in life, I’m a little late with my congratulations as I’m recovering from covid, I’m loving this compilation of the renovation, I love your friends and subscribe to them all, Billy and Nick Moon are the best of men, your lucky to have them and there lucky to have you, one day your house will be magnificent, I can’t wait to see the end product, I’m excited for you and the journey your on! Good luck and much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amazing work so far! I’d recommend wearing an actual respirator though while working. Those paper masks are better than nothing but not the best protect you can get. Also some eye wear. For your hammer drill, there are wider bits would allow for you to take a bigger section of the plaster off
'Cheapest house in France' is a bold and highly relative claim, but it's certainly a beautiful property. Loads of work (no surprise at that price). I'll be glued to this channel - thank you so much for sharing your journey. It must be uber difficult to do all that work and create such engaging video footage at the same time. Top notch chaps.
Watching this recap is affecting my health. With the dust I’m coughing in sympathy and my eyes are itching as if I’ve gotten tuff in them. Keep up the good work while I suffer.
You're living a rich full life, and I can't wait to see the rest of the renovations to this gem of a house. You're all a great bunch of guys with talent and a great attitude towards life. I find it very inspiring.
This was a super enjoyable video Ryan. You are very good making very creative videos. This is a good one to show your kids in 10 years!!! I love all of the work you’ve done so far. I remember when you and Nick installed all of the new joists, it made me happy then and even happier now. Watching Billy and Yanis helping you get the flooring down, yay! I know you have to save to buy more supplies but you should be very proud of what you’ve already done. Nice having you back and again and a huge Congratulations on your marriage!! ❤
In the USA we call this a “total gut job” because you will have to remove everything except the outside walls and roof. But, if anyone is able to do this it’s you and all your experienced mates. 😃
Yup, and Most people dont get How many man-hours it takes to complete a job like this… So they cut every corner they can, very often it is just like make up on a pig… A total of atleast 5000 hours for this job!
So happy you are back. Congratulate on finding the love of your life. I would love to see her but truely understand you not showing her. Have a long happy life together. 😊😊
I had forgotten how much you had achieved, it was great to see it all together like that. Looking forward to seeing what's next! Hugs from Down under 🤗👍
So happy to have you back Ryan all the best and congratulations to you and your bride wishing you every happiness now and forever, god bless you both you biggest fan From Canada.🎉
As a fellow renovator, hats off to you and your perseverance! It's always an adventure in discovery during demo. The dirt floors would have sent me to the pub. Your video was inspiring.
Ryan you will have to reinstate the walls on the stairs as they make a fire wall for the only way out in emergency,lots of rot but still surprisingly strong the ancient timbers,wall insulation will be needed to make the damp home warm to modern standards so removing all the wall plaster will maximise the room sizes ,removing the chimney stack will be a big plus to room size on all floors a modern stove and flue could heat the whole house easily just use an original fire surround as a design feature.if you could engineer a flat roof over the kitchen ,wc it would give a terrace and outside space a plus to the home value .

So much has changed already, I do like the changes so far. I only hope that this 15 grand house that you’re renovating in rural France isn’t going to cost a fortune in the long run. My fingers are crossed for the stars to align and things get easier from now on. Great getting all these wonderful videos lately, forge on intrepid renovator!
Found your vlogs today, Ryan. I knew you were around somewhere, as I follow Billy and company on the Pethericks. I often wonder how this group got together in the first place, and where they all learned their various building skills. Billy and Michael obviously follow in Dad Mick's footsteps, then there is Nick Moon with his horses and ability to rebuild old pipe organs, Simon with every skill you can think of, teaching Yanis new tricks. Alex with his camera work, and Rick with his muscles and tattoos. I do enjoy all the hard work and the friendships. Thank you Ryan for adding another layer to this imaginative group.
Wonderful walk down memory lane. The music was great, I loved the return of the Stateside narrators, and the first cup of tea! Big Thanks to Billy, Yanis and the Legendary Nick Moon🌙
You are building a home. The thrill you will get when you look back on what you have achieved. It will make you so proud. Start off little and grow to bigger things is the way to go... You have the best group of friends anyone could wish for. Passing on their knowledge and different skills. A home built on love and friendship. Way to go Ryan. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy future.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Who ever did the editing on this episode deserves an Editing OsCaR, the pace, the banter, speeding up for effect, and then occasionally throwing in “the home i am renovating in rural France”. Reminds me of the movies of the l930’s, keystone cops, etc. Hope you get all the followers you deserve, your views increase and your coffers fill, so that you can bring your lovely bride home to France ASAP, and fill this space with laughter and love and little feet.
You must be joking, this was the most obnoxious editing job I have seen in a long time on UA-cam. How many of us searched for the speed controls to try to fix the ridiculous sped up dialogue? He needs to fire his editor. Or hire one.
We did this in our present house. I literally had exhaustion flashbacks when I was watching you sweep up and bag all the garbage! Of course our house wasn't that old and while we replaced everything else we didn't have to replace floor beams! We did it on nights and weekends while we lived in a trailer with our very young children! This was so wonderful to watch. Hard work but SO worth it!
Wow, your friends are awesome worry. They come over to see your new home and the first thing they do is wreck it……………oh brother. 😮 congrats on all that has been done. Looking forward to more. ☺️👵🏻🇦🇺

Damn! So sorry! We didn't "know better" 40 years ago.
I remember helping a friend tear down a wall and being sick as a dog the next day from the crap we enhaled. 😢
Yeah, but with that crap, I think I'm reaching for a proper 3M respo and cans with pre-filters. Too easy to get leaks with the 'paper' disposables.
even with simple jobs as sweeping etc wear a mask. you never know what you end up finding after you already tore out a bunch of things.
Even with respirators, I don't think it is safe. Some of the dust must be getting through.
Many 'outsiders' have bought abandoned houses here in Normandy, France. They’re restoring them to their former glory, often using traditional methods aswell. It's amazing to see others interested in our building culture and working to preserve it, especially when locals sometimes struggle to do so. So, thank you, and welcome to France.

Fantastic job on the house 🏠. Looking great. Nice to see you. Congratulations on getting married. ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Found your vlogs today, Ryan. I knew you were around somewhere, as I follow Billy and company on the Pethericks. I often wonder how this group got together in the first place, and where they all learned their various building skills. Billy and Michael obviously follow in Dad Mick's footsteps, then there is Nick Moon with his horses and ability to rebuild old pipe organs, Simon with every skill you can think of, teaching Yanis new tricks. Alex with his camera work, and Rick with his muscles and tattoos. I do enjoy all the hard work and the friendships. Thank you Ryan for adding another layer to this imaginative group.
just loving those guys,nick and billy and ryan !!!
Hello Life of Ryan, we did say you have the best work clothes. Thankfully you have helpers. Wishing you All the Best!! Bob and Jim in the USA.
just couple of guys havin the moment of their life
Wonderful walk down memory lane. The music was great, I loved the return of the Stateside narrators, and the first cup of tea! Big Thanks to Billy, Yanis and the Legendary Nick Moon🌙
Good boy! And I love the fast forwarding of voices! Looks excellent.
You are building a home. The thrill you will get when you look back on what you have achieved. It will make you so proud.
Start off little and grow to bigger things is the way to go...
You have the best group of friends anyone could wish for.
Passing on their knowledge and different skills.
A home built on love and friendship. Way to go Ryan.
Congratulations and best wishes for a happy future.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
So basically you bought a pretty shell. I'm besotted, I'm in love... I will watch every single video because now I am obsessed LOL
Nicely done, Ryan! You fellers are now prepared to join the crew of “This Old House!” 😊
Who ever did the editing on this episode deserves an Editing OsCaR, the pace, the banter, speeding up for effect, and then occasionally throwing in “the home i am renovating in rural France”. Reminds me of the movies of the l930’s, keystone cops, etc. Hope you get all the followers you deserve, your views increase and your coffers fill, so that you can bring your lovely bride home to France ASAP, and fill this space with laughter and love and little feet.
You forgot to mention it's rural Fraaaaaaance. Just that touch, jajajaja
really? I found it to be quite jarring at times, like when sentences just got cut off. It really threw me off the storyline.
You must be joking, this was the most obnoxious editing job I have seen in a long time on UA-cam. How many of us searched for the speed controls to try to fix the ridiculous sped up dialogue? He needs to fire his editor. Or hire one.
its either a horrible editor or he used ai to edit his video
@@CC-gu3zeliterally just did the same thing. The last quarter of this video has to be a mistake.
The trip through time was marvelous! Glad you’re back!
Great production editing done right and a twist of Ryan humor. Keep going 😊
You guys are fantastic and not afraid of hard work , love watching .🇨🇦😘
You guys are very brave. This video is just perfect. I wish you the best.
All the hard work you guys have put into repairing and restoring this old house should last for a very very long time !
Great re-cap Ryan! I look forward to seeing your renovation progress. 🇨🇦❤️
Ryan, I have really been enjoying your videos about your house transformation ! I'm looking forward to more of them !
We did this in our present house. I literally had exhaustion flashbacks when I was watching you sweep up and bag all the garbage! Of course our house wasn't that old and while we replaced everything else we didn't have to replace floor beams! We did it on nights and weekends while we lived in a trailer with our very young children! This was so wonderful to watch. Hard work but SO worth it!
Wow, your friends are awesome worry. They come over to see your new home and the first thing they do is wreck it……………oh brother. 😮 congrats on all that has been done. Looking forward to more. ☺️👵🏻🇦🇺
That was fun Ryan. Love your video style. Entertaining as heck. 🤗
