Workshop Transformation in Our Abandoned German House

  • This week we completed the first renovation in our abandoned German home: the workshop! We transformed the space from being entirely unusable, musty, and COVERED in grime into the perfect space to keep all of our tools and to work on small project for the rest of our home! This was such a wonderful video to film and I learned so much along the way about German garbage disposal and about our new, old house! I hope you guys enjoy. :)

  • @jessicanicolebelmonte6252

    Something to consider, especially for work-spaces, is electrical outlets. Personally I consider two outlets for every running meter of wall to be a good base line. Also, regarding the placement of outlets, you are still young, limber and flexible. But with ageing you loose that, and then the accessibility of outlets becomes much more important. Again, my personal preference is for outlets to be placed at a height of about 80-100cm instead of the more commonly seen 20-30cm. With the low placement you have to bend over or stoop down to access and use the outlets. Which is made even more difficult when they are hidden below and/or behind furniture, not to mention to being more susceptible being kicked or bumped by feet or moving furniture. In my opinion, having outlets easily accessible also enhances safety if something fails somehow.
    Especially in the kitchen you should consider installing more outlets, what with all the appliances that are part of a modern kitchen: Wasserkocher, toaster, microwave, coffee maker, Eierkocher, mixer, sandwich maker, waffle maker, etc. Using power strips, though possible, clutters up the countertop, and constantly plugging and unplugging appliances (especially in the middle of food prep) gets messy and risky.
    Congratulations on prepping your first workspace. Having the proper tools for the job just makes the job so much easier.

    I am loving these videos and cheering you on as you two work so hard cleaning out the old, wiping away generations of spider webs, repurposing where possible, taking stuff to be recycled, scrubbing, painting and transforming the space into what truly is both functional and attractive. I can’t wait for the next video.❤️ Also, Eliza is looking right at home. So sweet.

    Great job ladies - I think it's a perfect balance between practical and aesthetic. The green door and steps are a nice highlight, and my only suggestion would be to add some lighting over the workbench. Now I'm really looking forward to seeing what you make of the rest of the house!

So excited for the garden! ❤️

    Good job in redoing your work shop. The satisfaction you get from swinging a big hammer and destroying what is needed to do what you want with the work shop. It is good to have a organized work space to know where everything is. Good to see your wearing masks. Alot of work but when your completely done .How rewarding it will be.

    Looks great, Maddie! The only thing is, in order for it to be a PROPER workshop, you need to add some cobwebs back in, spread a bunch of sawdust around, disorganize everything, and scatter around a couple dozen empty beer cans! Only then will it be truly perfect! ;) Seriously, great job to the Dynamic Duo!

    Super Inspirational. I purchased my first home a few months ago, and overwhelmed with useless treasures left by the previous owner who passed away in a hospital and (adult) kids took what they wanted and left the rest for me to deal with. But got a good price, but going to tackle the shed this weekend with a few friends after watching this video. #SheShed

    That, strangely, was a lot of fun, I wasn't expecting that particular dirty project to be! I know it's boring of me but I love my white walls, painting things clean is a balm for me. I forgot to think that the DIY store would have everything in German but of course! Perhaps you could teach a few German words, that might be fun?
    Can't wait to see what you do with the garden! Will there be some verticality to make use of space? Water collection vs local water tax; is water metered, there? Anyway, can't wait!
