I saw your content on tick tock, someone else stole your content and was flogging it off as their own content. Don’t worry I have your back, I told every person who commented that this content was stolen, all 100 of them. I told the content creator that he stole this content from you guys and he is a liar! He would be completely humiliated.
I've done the same thing to the content of Erik Vanquist that was stolen. Every last commenter was told it was stolen content; the uploader was a thief of intellectual property rights.
I am impressed at how much work you do. Most of it will never be seen in the finished renovation but was absolutely necessary to make your house structurally sound and to conform to current building requirements. I admire your commitment and work ethic regarding renovating your farm house.
I really like watching Illia work. He has some great ideas and it's always interesting to see how he fixes problems he comes across. I like the wood stove recessed into the wall. Thanks for sharing
The Inspector surely approves! I am very impressed with your relentless attention to detail and drive to complete the project. It looks amazing. Merry Christmas to you all. Enjoy your new stove.
I think you need to design and patten a cover for cement mixers that limits the amount of particulates reaching the operator. Your bag and band method is outstanding. When I see small food containers with pop on lids I think of your mixer. A large plastic lid that seals the mixer while mixing, that easily snaps on to standard sized models and possibly one that has an easy open/close mechanism that lets you look at your mortar and/or add more material. Easy. With your design skills it will be a huge success.
You are now looking back on some of the toughest jobs! From here going forward should feel a wee bit easier. Thank you for bringing us along to encourage us all that hard work is it's own reward. Rest and enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️💙💛🕯️
Great job, you’re very good at brick laying now Illia. Funny video with the whoh-whaa! The original wood stove is very stylish. I like it very much. Glad to see it all working and warming Anneke.
This is so exciting! How wonderful to know that you will be able to maintain and handle any issues with your home from here on out! Ilya needs to be certified as a mason, carpenter, electrician and plumber! He can do almost anything! Merry Christmas to your entire family!
This classic old farm house, the barn, and other buildings are amazing; but even more amazing are the two of you! You both work at outside jobs in very technical fields and you are raising two children (who need and get your attention), and yet still you have energy and vision - and patience - to continue moving ahead on this construction. Wow! The lovely future you are crafting is well deserved. I just hope you take time off for your family and the two of you enough to avoid burnout.
I've been watching your channel from the start, I just wanted to say the workmanship is amazing. The skills to renew such a lovely timeless building is such a massive achievement and the cinema photography is superb. Well done and thankyou for sharing journey.
You are doing a remarkable job of the renovation and I enjoy watching all your content. Merry Christmas and a fulfilling and productive New Year to you both.
Congratulations!!! I remember when you began your chimney saga years ago. Your ingenuity and work ethic is admirable. All that you two have accomplished is incredible! 👏👏👏👏👏
I always look forward to your videos. In English, a wooden stove is a stove constructed from wood. A wood stove is a stove that burns wood. Your English is doing so well, I wanted to give you that little tip. Former ESL teacher. LOL
Thank you for this thoughtful and entertaining video, in happy for you that you’ve crowned the three years of chimney story in time for Christmas this year.
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((kfm
There's also the option of a cast-in-place mortar liner. That's a fancy word for plastering the inside of the flue. I've watched contractors do that a few times. They drop a rope all the way down from the roof, tie a piece of old foam mattress to the rope and pull that up the chimney while pouring down a very wet plaster mix from the top. That seals the mortar joints between the bricks.
Félicitations pour cet excellent travail, vous serez récompensé quand vous pourrez vous assoir devant votre poêle. Anneke est tellement heureuse d’avoir un peu de chaleur. Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. 🎄
Just spent the last 4 days in Belgium. Staying in Brussels, but we did daytrips to Mechelen, Leuven and Antwerp. With all this rainy weather, it is amazing all the work you get done.😊
A big time achievement. You still have a long ways to go. You appear tired. Why not take some time off, sleep, get a change of scenery, and come back refreshed. We won't desert you. Happy Holidays from our family to yours. 👍👍👍
That was some record speed on the brick laying. I'm always impressed at how talented you are with all of the trades. Cannot wait to see what you do next. Also, just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas this year.
hand made bricks, Illya.You have some makers marks. They were paid by the brick so tagged their products. but often a thumbprint. Or unique cipher. And great videos guys...
My mother used a lot of vermiculite in her garden work. Then we discovered that vermiculite sold in the USA contained asbestos. We haven't used vermiculite for many years now.
In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 we discourage the woodburner. Its because of the people who have the disease COPD. They hardly can breath because of the smoke coming out of the pipes. In some citys its not allowed to use a wood stove/ woodburner.
Day two of the Chimney Challenge. Illia you are funny. Looks really nice. You always clean up and get on to the next project. Can't wait for flooring upstairs. Wishing you and your family a Blessed and Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year 2025.
That chimney you just completed is beautiful. I'm sure as picky as you are there will be some additional work, but man I am so impressed with it. Such an ordeal you have been through after purchasing a house with a "usable chimney"! However, in your house, as in my house, if the inspector is happy then all is well. Have a wonderful and warm Christmas if you can. It's been a bit nippy here in Idaho, but we are fortunate for it could be worse.
Well, at least now you are sure it is safe to use. NOW. PLEASE finish the attic. I’m really interested in what your plan is for it. It can be such a beautiful retreat for y’all.❤❤❤❤❤
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((mhhf
What a milestone to have all that done finally! You are both very clever and skilled with your hands to have learned so many new things while you have been renovating, well done!
You must providefor a cleanout of your new flue liner to deal with soot buildup as well as the ability to chimney sweep your chimney flue. Ash and soot will buildup and potentially cause a chimney fire.
Illia building the chimney me: 🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺💃🕺 (tbh the music choices are one of my fav parts of this channel lol. one of a million things i love about this channel but still)
Merry Christmas to you and your family. May it be blessed with much joy, peace, and laughter.

Marina’s careful editing placement of “like & subscribe “ graphics over Ilia’s , ahem, backside always make me chuckle
The Cat is lucky...the oven is hot again ! What a big big job ! At least both chimneys can be used again👍👍👍 Merry Christmas ❤
Wow that took a lot of effort but you will really appreciate having kept it as a working heat source. Great work.
Love that you are making the living conditions better for the inspector.
Such a lovely wood burner! All that labor for such a beautiful fireplace. Definitely cat approved.
Illia, your brick 🧱 work has come a long way. Your ability to adapt to do whatever needs to be done is amazing!! Great job 👏!!!!
You are now looking back on some of the toughest jobs! From here going forward should feel a wee bit easier. Thank you for bringing us along to encourage us all that hard work is it's own reward. Rest and enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️💙💛🕯️
De schouw zal nooit verslijten, die blijft voor altijd. Mooi werk👍
I like the chimney renovation, perseverance shows in your work.😊 May you and your family have a blessed holiday.
I am very impressed with your solutions to your chimney problems.
Great job, you’re very good at brick laying now Illia. Funny video with the whoh-whaa! The original wood stove is very stylish. I like it very much. Glad to see it all working and warming Anneke.
Love that idea to place a plastic bag over the mixer. Have a great Christmas and a peaceful new year
Chimney looks great…Illia does great work ! Love the mortar music!
I completely understand your statement about being on the 5th day of your 2 day project, I have the same estimating power on my projects.
You have become an excellent bricklayer! It is very smart to save all the old bricks you saved from taking down the other buildings and walls.
This is so exciting! How wonderful to know that you will be able to maintain and handle any issues with your home from here on out! Ilya needs to be certified as a mason, carpenter, electrician and plumber! He can do almost anything! Merry Christmas to your entire family!

The chimney was a mangled mess! Incredible job making it functional and beautiful
Congratulations!!! I remember when you began your chimney saga years ago. Your ingenuity and work ethic is admirable. All that you two have accomplished is incredible! 👏👏👏👏👏
I always look forward to your videos. In English, a wooden stove is a stove constructed from wood. A wood stove is a stove that burns wood. Your English is doing so well, I wanted to give you that little tip. Former ESL teacher. LOL
Great job guys and your English is just amazing Illia.
Yay! Another milestone accomplished and just in time for Christmas!
Наснаги вам,мої любі українці!!!Пишаюся вами.З повагою.
You two are like the little engine could story. Impressive 😊
@13:54. Look at that beautiful brickwork 😻❤️
Thank you for this thoughtful and entertaining video, in happy for you that you’ve crowned the three years of chimney story in time for Christmas this year.
The inspector need a comfy cat bed for Christmas, one that has a little roof and walls with a small opening facing the stove. Cat heaven!
Congrats on the chimney. I admire your perseverance.
Great job the chimney’s look wonderful
A long job beautifully done! Keep up the good work it will all be finished…………sometime,❤️
I still think it's a great idea to cover the cement mixer while it's turning. I should use that trick too 😊
Congratulations on reaching your chimney milestone ❗❗❗
You have done really really well 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((kfm
@@marthacancerngSo so sorry to hear that. Hope you have a good recovery.
Love your hard work...looks fabo...and the music is great!!!♡♡♡
Quedó bellísimo 🎉🎉🎉🎉 saludos desde argentina rosario
techno-Maryna ;) nice style
The brick with the sign on it may be a keystone. They were usually the last brick put into a house wall.
There's also the option of a cast-in-place mortar liner. That's a fancy word for plastering the inside of the flue. I've watched contractors do that a few times. They drop a rope all the way down from the roof, tie a piece of old foam mattress to the rope and pull that up the chimney while pouring down a very wet plaster mix from the top. That seals the mortar joints between the bricks.
This one is the best. But we couldn’t find a contractor who does it in Belgium.
Congratulations, Stonemason Extraordinaire 🥇🏆🥇🏆🥇🏆
All of that work carefully knocking down walls, saving bricks and then cleaning them and carrying them up ladders and steep stairways has paid off.
Félicitations pour cet excellent travail, vous serez récompensé quand vous pourrez vous assoir devant votre poêle. Anneke est tellement heureuse d’avoir un peu de chaleur. Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. 🎄
I have been watching since the beginning . YOU two amaze me ,your work is great. I really enjoy your show !!
One more thing ticked off the list and one step closer. You did a great job. Різдвом христовим!
Just spent the last 4 days in Belgium. Staying in Brussels, but we did daytrips to Mechelen, Leuven and Antwerp. With all this rainy weather, it is amazing all the work you get done.😊
Неймовірна робота!
Das hast Du sehr gut Gemauert!!
Awesome achievement. 🇦🇺🎸⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏾💋💙
Congratulation for the achievement of this milestone and merry Christmas !
The chimney looks great, well done
Illia is amazing at bricklaying!
Merry Christmas to all of you! We want to see you two trying more new beers!
A big time achievement. You still have a long ways to go. You appear tired. Why not take some time off, sleep, get a change of scenery, and come back refreshed. We won't desert you.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours. 👍👍👍
That was some record speed on the brick laying. I'm always impressed at how talented you are with all of the trades. Cannot wait to see what you do next. Also, just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas this year.
Absolutely, his talents show in his work. Hes very patient.
The cat need to look if everthing is done ok lol , have a merry christmas to you and your family 🌲
hand made bricks, Illya.You have some makers marks. They were paid by the brick so tagged their products. but often a thumbprint. Or unique cipher. And great videos guys...
My mother used a lot of vermiculite in her garden work. Then we discovered that vermiculite sold in the USA contained asbestos. We haven't used vermiculite for many years now.
Interesting that there’s a new type of vermiculite. I’m glad that it’s safe!
Good job on the chimney. ♥️
I luv this show!!. I've watched it from the first one.
Merry Christmas to all & you have amazing skills !
In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 we discourage the woodburner. Its because of the people who have the disease COPD.
They hardly can breath because of the smoke coming out of the pipes.
In some citys its not allowed to use a wood stove/ woodburner.
On this brick is the Masonic symbol and initials of the masons who worked on this house.
Merry Christmas to You Guys…….. have a good one…… cheers from Oz 🇦🇺🥰
What a massive work Ilia ! King of extimation 😂
Thanks!
Thank you so much, Fred! Merry Christmas!
You do best chimney I have seen. Once in my familys home was so terrible, that smoke came in.
Day two of the Chimney Challenge. Illia you are funny. Looks really nice. You always clean up and get on to the next project. Can't wait for flooring upstairs.
Wishing you and your family a Blessed and Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year 2025.
Nice brick work!!!
Don’t worry Ilia, many of us are ‘master of estimate’
You two are truly incredible, such a committed undertaking with this home. Its been a real experience following your channel.
You are amazing!!! Fantastic work!!!😊

Hello. Very, very great job, and very good video!!. Congratulations.
I would advise, place a heatpump and floor heating. Fill up the chimney.
Underfloor heating is bad for the veins and respiratory system, but in principle I would have solved the heating situation differently.
Well, at least now you are sure it is safe to use. NOW. PLEASE finish the attic. I’m really interested in what your plan is for it. It can be such a beautiful retreat for y’all.❤❤❤❤❤
Conngratulations on your three-year chimney project.
Thank you 👍
Ilia has gotten good with his brickwork. Thanks for sharing with us. Merry Christmas to you guys.
Illia - The Mason, Plumber, Carpenter, Electrician.
Merry Christmas to You All...
JP...
Well worth all the effort! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family.
always so impressed in your projects..This one WOW.. Sending you a lovely holiday.. Merry Christmas
Big job. Glad to watch it all. It took a long time to finish.
Excellent work, the inspector approves! ❤️🧱❤️🔥🐈⬛❤️
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((mhhf
@21:36 It sure is a milestone. It has been a job done with the right decisions made, well done!👴👌
I wondered how you would fix those chimneys. They seemed too small to fix but you solved the problem.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄 🇨🇦
Happy Christmas to you all ❤
In America we call that special insulation Vermiculite. It's great stuff.
What a milestone to have all that done finally! You are both very clever and skilled with your hands to have learned so many new things while you have been renovating, well done!
You must providefor a cleanout of your new flue liner to deal with soot buildup as well as the ability to chimney sweep your chimney flue. Ash and soot will buildup and potentially cause a chimney fire.
Great job on chimney have a wonderful holiday
Illia building the chimney
