      and rodent poop. that lung infection possibility is real. another UA-camr that does old homes got a serious lung infection...created horrible back aches so took a while for him to figure out was wrong. now he has to wear a full, oxygen fed space helmet type thing to work in

    Pleased you were able to get the timber and repair the beams.
    I really worry you will find it extremely difficult to keep warm this winter if you have no ceiling to keep in the heat.
    I am watching the adverts twice so that my few cents each video can help you as you are both working hard but there is still so much to do.
    I look forward to seeing you get a ceiling!

      Yeah we are going to put rockwool instead of spray on foam it's much easier to work with and foam would stick to wood too much, but we can't wait to have a kitchen and living room it's hard without it! Thank you for all your kind words and support ❤️😊

    Im a hobbyist woodworker and this is the first video Ive seen someone doing this on youtube. I guess its an effective way to strengthen a beam.Did you place this in the middle of the beam where theoreticaly is the most load? I have a similar setup in the cellar of a really old house I'm renovating in the country, and I'm probably going to do the same thing instead of taking out the beam and patching it up or replacing it. Congrats to you , a young person with obvious wood working skills , not afraid of hardwork and renovating a house that has sentimental value!!! Despoina is a Greek name , any ties to Greece?? Be well and thank you for a great video!!!

    • @DoBeDiff
      @DoBeDiff  3 роки тому +3

      Thank you, We only did it where it was rotten, the rest of the beam is like brand new no need to repair we went over the rotten part by a meter or so to attach many screws in place, I actually wanted to run 20mm metal rod through to clamp the two wood beams on sides, this would be way to overkill for this the beams are made to hold tons of clay so this rockwool is piece of cake for it. Despina is Greek, she is born and raised in Greece we only moved to Latvia a year ago. I am from Latvia so we wanted to buy a house here as Greek prices are extreme!

      They where in the house years ago. There is no fredh holes. And the primer seals the wood quite good. In worse parts we put a liquid to help against them. Hope they wont cause future damage 🤔😊

    One thing I noticed, you need to be wearing masks. It is unsafe for your upper respiratory health without them. Especially around the goat droppings, because you can inhale that and it twill make you very sick. The mouse droppings can do the same thing to you.

    INSTEAD of collapsing ceiling into the room...build a trough from upstairs window and shovel dirt clay from ceiling and dump down trough to outside ground. Much less mess and durtyingwhT you have Lready done.

      Today 2×4 are not 2×4. The old beam are the true beam measurement. However, I do agree that the two center beams need to be replaced at some point, when they have the money.
