    You need to batten and board all the walls with insulation to minimise sound and heat loss. You need noggins so you can mount radiators etc on the walls. X

      This would be a very quick and easy way of doing it, but then we would lose all the character of the room, the floor and ceiling will be insulated though :)

    Have you thought about coating those smoke stains with a PVA solution, let it dry and then plaster. i have used it on a water stain on a ceiling prior to painting and it worked great.

      I did same on chimney wall but it did come through after 15 years and thereafter about every 2 years with stain cover paint I think dob and dab insulated plasterboard with foil back might be the permanent way

    Builders bum antics, bedside table 'electronic appliances' and banging head boards, lots of giggles and laugh out loud moments thx for that. You're both doing an amazing job. A couple of years ago we had a similar problem with an old chimney wall and on advice we bought proper ready mix fire cement and used that for the area instead of lime plaster and it seems to be doing the job so far. Once applied fire cement needs heat to set of the catalyst for it to set so we used a heat gun to achieve this.

      Glad you enjoyed the video, if a builders bum is on show it's classed as fair game!. Thank you for the tip with the fire cement :)

    Great video again, the room is coming on nicely, I would be very interested in seeing more on the electoral side of things because I'm at about that stage now in our house in france so any information you can share would be great

      We have done all the electrics in this room now but will show more of it in future rooms. Good luck with your electrics, it's a tricky thing!

    You two always make me smile, but the idea of Mandy taking advantage of what I shall describe as builder's bum had me laughing out loud. With regards to the staining caused by the smoke, have a look at "Not Useless Yet". Different country (Italy) but he had a similar problem when he was trying to render the part of his kitchen that had been a smokehouse. He found a way to deal with the staining.. give it a look, it may help!

    • @ourfrenchrenovation
      @ourfrenchrenovation  11 місяців тому

      Thank you for that, we shall definitely have a look :) A builders bum is always fair game!

    Hi I watch another vlog where the person is renovating an old French house and he used a product called Renopass Chaux Clair to do the some rendering. It is a lime finish but he found it easy to use and gave a smooth. Don't know if you can get this product but it may help with the panels you are trying to create. Really like your videos.
