I enjoyed myself and very informative. First time on this channel”❤” Do you plan on keeping the channel going.. or you have any ideas on what’s next. I hope you find something ❤❤❤ I will check back and review your answers later❤❤❤
We continue to keep releasing videos (at least one a week, two if we have the time). Our videos show the work we are doing in our own 'production' style. We are currently working on converting the attic; the floorboards need to be taken up, the floor levelled out, the rotten wood replaced and sound / temperature insulation installed. And over the summer we will be starting to convert the 'barn'. Many thanks, Lewis. 🙂
Bonjour à vous. Félicitations pour votre travail accompli pendant ces 18 mois, beaucoup se seraient découragés, alors bravo. Je suis vraiment navré pour Poppy, j'ai moi-même 3 chats et j'imagine votre peine. Je vous souhaite le meilleur pour la suite.
I cannot believe it has been 18 months, I really enjoy how you are learning so much but the best part is your narration and I thank you for always putting a smile on my face 😊 Thank you for sharing your very hard renovation and what seems endless tasks of getting your home how you imagine it to be when you have finished. I hope you have better weather this year and I look forward to coming along with you through your videos xx
What a nice video. Nicely spoken, so this old guy from the Netherlands can follow every word. Thanks for sharing, sad for your Poppy, but she is still with you in a nice grave.
Bonjour, J’ai adoré votre humour pince -sans-rire. Un grand merci. Je comprends votre tristesse pour votre chat. Vraiment désolée pour vous. Hâte de voir vos prochaines vidéos. 😊
I’m so sorry you lost Poppy. My heart goes out to anyone who has loved and lost a companion animal because I’ve had that experience too and I know how painful it is. Perhaps in time you will have the joy of welcoming another companion into your life.
Thank you for answering my question! No condensation, no mold growth and the air in your home is much more "comfortable" for living - now that is an A+ report! The ventilator for the kitchen and bath that blows up the chimney is brilliant. I hope you will be able to put a chimney cap on top of all the old flues some day. Old flues are ideal as ventilation shafts. And during the cold months, the air you send up the flue will warm that mass of stone from the inside out. Beautiful
Love your considered narration style. So glad I found your channel. Lots of lovely rich compost. Hope your home is much cosier now. The digging around the property looked like an absolutely massive task, wow😮... So sorry to learn about sweet boy Poppy🌸
Thanks for sharing your projects and the new life you’re building. Looks like you’ve quite a lot on your list to accomplish, but I’m rooting you on! What you’ve already achieved is amazing! Best wishes for your next big steps - from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Love the idea and plane language! It’s only 2 and half minutes from the beginning but I have a strong feeling that you will achieve the goal! Thank you so much!
Never give up ... at the end all good come together and when you sit later on your sofa and remembering how long it takes to renovate the house you will have a big smile in your face because you did it ... all the best for you and your family ...
I'll be following with interest. I'm doing a similar project in Normandy, Calvados. I started in a blaze of glory until I had a second young child and got low on money... Still at it though. I look forward to learning some new skills from you. Best of luck.
That was absolutely delightful, I smiled the whole way through. You are really in your stride both with the project and the video production. Great teamwork.😀👍
I wish more channel creators offered these retrospect vlogs so new subs like myself have the needed context, and then can slowly view your vlog archives as time permits. YT Suggestions got it right, I'm inspired by your tenacity, enjoy the humour, and appreciate the time & effort that goes into documenting your journey. 🙏 Cheers, Pat- Yukon, Canada
It looks lovely - well done. My parents adding 3 rooms with architect and builders in the 1970s was enough for me. I have never had a thing done and even the current 5 weeks I have painters outside (it is day 15 of having 3 painters here) is a strain...... (but better than doing it myself).
A never-ending process (in my case anyway) but an enjoyable on once the bigger projects of the 1st year are cleared. You'll always have "the next thing" in you head even when everyone else thinks you're long finished. Congrats and good luck.
I was here early on. I think you are both doing so well... given the 'surprises' you've had. Stuart's bulldozer idea made me chortle but alas he obviously hasn't got your combined style, patience, wisdom, humour and determination. I wish you both every success and joy imaginable, because when you have put this much love into a house and garden; it will give you so much love back in return over many years. I'm proud of you both and thanks for sharing your 'warts n all' journey. ❤.
I'd say almost any house can be saved with enough effort, time and money. In this case, the worst thing you could possibly have to do would be adding a damp-proof course in every wall the hard and old-fashioned way - removing a section of wall entirely, inserting a DPC and rebuilding the stone wall, section by section until you're done. Depending on how sturdy the walls are, you might be able to remove 500 mm and leave 500 standing, if the walls are weak you might have to do 330 and leave 660 standing, i.e. do the work in three stages. There's obviously a certain risk of settling and cracking but it would get the house dry for the next 100 years if nothing else helps.
I love it. Your narration reminds me of youtuber frank howarth. It always amazes me how wonderful a little bit of work adds up so fast. Main goal is better living conditions and learning / doing something new
First time here, enjoyed very much your blog. Love your narration style, perfect diction and dry British humour. I don't know a single home builder who does not underestimate the amount of work, time and budget needed. You're in good company! Sorry for the loss of your beloved cat.
Thankyou so much for this "renovation update". A lot of hard work and disappointments that you have managed well. The next best thing to solving the flooding and drainage issues of the floor has been the replacing of the roof. BLF = BIG LEAP FORWARD. A dry head and dry warm feet allow you to do so much more doing the renovations yourselves. Bravi and where would you be without your wonderful wife? Looking forward to discovering more about your channel. Bon chance.🍀👍
Just found your channel. Great work and progress on your home! I just lost a pet dog and can empathize with your loss. Non-pet owners would not understand how pets become part of your family. Nice headstone and plant arrangement for Poppy.
Getting a stone structure dried out after decades of damp can take years to fully dry out. But the initial efforts have produced the majority of the reduction of the damp. The remaining damp is a much smaller amount than when you started your renovation. Appreciate your gains in success and keep working forward.
Home renovations are basically a nightmare to be got through with as much patience as possible. Invariably everything takes longer, costs more and probably brings you down temporarily. Getting up and continuing is the perfect answer. And the results are the best remedy. Good on you both. Best wishes.
Not only renovations, every building project. New builds have less potential for hidden surprises in the structure but they're even more involved and there are often more different contractors involved, and the more people you've got working on a job the more can go wrong.
Application of a hydrostatic barrier to the exterior walls of your home (in particular adjacent to "the hole") would have helped you out in the long-term. Also, adding a dehumidifier to your "HVAC system" is a must. Wishing you well.
A splendid resume of your, not inconsiderable, achievement so far. Living amongst it all can be overwhelming but your narration gives a feel of purposeful endeavour, all taken with in your stride. Keep at it and you will be triumphant and happy in your self made paradise.
Absolutely loved the style of your video. Well chosen words delivered in a thoughtful and deliberate manner. Great photography and storytelling. Liked and subscribed. Good luck with your future works … I will look forward to more updates as your dream home progresses. 👍😀
So sorry about Poppy, these little creatures are so important in our lives as we worry and carry on with our lives, they bring such joy in their carefree lifestyle. She had a good little life with you, I hope you find another little creature to add to your family.
You did a nice job. I also have such a stone house, here in the Ardennes. In the 90's were buried our cat on the Honor Cementairy for the by the German occupiers executed resistance fighters in the Dutch dunes. Very forbidden to dig there ( it is a big area but also a nature reservate and honored ground) but ourbeloved cat deserved such an honor place. He was in a very solid coffin in a very deep hole so that wild animals like foxes could not just dig it out. Save up all the old wood for your wood burner. Also when it is less good or half rotten, let it dry and then burn it. Fresh cut wood must dry for two years. I also took out a bad co stable hay floor 8 by 13 m and i had many free warm days inmy house during that winter. My burner is an Eder 19kW. Wood with a length from 80 cm fits in it. I also have a mazout burner. Bought are connected and they heat all the water for the house. My house is from 1870.
Very inspiring story, great restoration work , video & presentation ultimate, I m mad to watch restoration video wherever I found but must admire your grace , elegance in strory telling pronunciation are so pure that everybody can understand, lots of love to your family ..❤❤
Really sorry about Poppy, we lost our 16 year old jack Russell (Winnie) in Feb. Your videos are an inspiration and are a kick up the arse for me to slowly and methodically sort out our 1800's Weavers cottage, just as you are.
I can feel your pain. Both with Poppy, and the work that has, is, and will come into your lives. It is a blessing to have an old house in one’s life. John in Bethel, Missouri. USA
I love your storytelling and humors! I started a UA-cam channel around the same time as you too, and it's about diy home renovation as a beginner. I'm still not as good as yours, but your videos really inspire me, especially the narration and editing. Excellent job on the progress video!
Just watched your scaffolding, stone repair vlog. You mentioned vertigo. When I had vertigo, I would get giddy and feel nauseous. My doctor gave me an exercise to do until it went away. It came back once years later, but the exercise helped again. Simple and easy to do I assure you. I know how miserable I felt, so if you would like to know it, let me know. I can explain by text like this I think. Just don't want to bore you with it if you don't want. Regards. Shirley
@@TheRenovationProject Ok. Sit on the edge but middle of your bed. Focus your eyes on one ceiling corner. If right side, slowly lower yourself to lay on the bed on your left side never taking your eyes off the corner. Count to 10, and then raise yourself to the sitting position, still with eyes on the corner. Wait till dizziness resolves, then turn your head to look at the other ceiling corner and lower yourself without taking your eyes off. Repeat, repeat, repeat. At some point, you quit feeling sick, giddy and can do this ok. Repeat 3 times per day. Just realise that the symptoms of dizziness need to be reproduced by the exercises for any benefit to occur. (Reading that off my sheet). If you stick to that plan, the symptoms should resolve over a period of several days. As I mentioned, I think it took 3 days, or thereabouts. Came back a year or so later, I repeated the exercises and haven't had any since. Good luck.
Although I have been one of your first subscribers, I rarely get notifications and generally had to go searching under the motto, "whatever became of..." and because I could never remember the channel's name, it became always a google search with X fingers. I was completely fascinated by the waterdrainage system you inherited with the house you bought and the challenge to solve it. It has broadened my concept of solving the "almost impossible".
Here in Australia the prices for materials doubled since 2017 Your project would be too much for me but I’m already 74 years old When I was 65 I was building my own house but 10 years later different story . All the best
I share your predicament. I renovated an 1890's house here in Australia......it was 2 stories, each story with 4.2 meter ceilings, so it was equivalent to being a 3 story modern home. It had been attacked very badly by termites, because the hardwood frame hot gotten damp from leaky wooden weatherboards. It was a massive job to clean up, getting all the laden/horse hair plaster walls gutted out (20 tons of waste). Piece by piece we cut out the damaged frame as new studs were installed, new joists and flooring went in. We even had a brick chimney to dismantle, which was equivalent to 8 pallets of used bricks. To do the exterior weatherboards, we need three tiers of scaffold and the use of a scissor lift. I will never renovate a multi story house again, its just so dam expensive to reach things at such heights.
In the beginning, when I started following your channel, it was sometimes difficult for me to hold attention. The pace and the tenacity of error on error on error, I sometimes doubted whether I would like to continue to follow your feather. Only after subscribing did I follow your transactions with the right attention, and I had to admit to myself that I am just as tenacious when making mistakes, luckily you too are able to learn from to do this. Now I am happy to praise myself that I got to know you as hard workers, with a clear idea of what you want, no matter how unclear the way to there may be. And for that I want to express my thanks, to show that even with setbacks, there is always a bright spot, you just have to see it.
If you buy yourselves a dehumidifier, it will draw out up to 20 liters of water from the room it is in per day and this will really help with drying out the structure.
Good adventure. The only thing that would have made your adventure easier is to use a piping bag like pastry chefs use for the pointing. Just point, squeeze, and smooth out.
I only recently found your channel and are really enjoying it. So sorry to hear about your loss of Poppy. It’s awful when you lose a beloved fur baby. I also watch the channel Make.Do.Grow They are renovating a stone building in Portugal and also have issues with damp. Check out their most recent video. They are installing a venting system to help them reduce the humidity issues. They may have some suggestions that could help you guys with your damp issues too ❤️
I am so sorry about your Poppy. We have a Poppy she is a boxer puppy. We lost our Lucy last year because she had mouth cancer. I saw Poppy and her brothers and sisters for sale and showed my Daughter and she got her!
After seeing the opening shots of your home I nearly quit the video. It looked too tough to watch it. Vut by the end I can tell you I really enjoyed the story
I enjoyed myself and very informative. First time on this channel”❤” Do you plan on keeping the channel going.. or you have any ideas on what’s next. I hope you find something ❤❤❤ I will check back and review your answers later❤❤❤

I LOVE how slowly he speaks and deliberately pronounces his words. Very calming and controlled. Thank you !!😊
I really enjoyed your video but dare I say it I do wish you would speak a little faster sorry! 🙁🇬🇧

sorry to hear poppy past away
I am sure she is watching you from heaven and tells her mate what a wonderfull live she had
Great progress folks, well done.
Just found the channel. Keep at it guys. RIP poppy!
Glad you found us!
Slow but steady progress. Nice work!
were all guilty of underestimating cost and time etc... and forgetting how far we have come, thanks for sharing cheers
Love your careful consideration for every task. Great work so far.
I’m very sorry to hear about Poppy. He was clearly a loved companion. I think the resting place you built for him is beautiful.
RIP ❤
Quant il reste de l'humour, il y a toujours du courage à terminer... Vive l'humour Anglais, et bravo pour le job. J'adore ce boulot
You are both doing a fantastic job, it’s coming together nicely. Regards

You make all the work you two are doing look so effortless. I so enjoy your video
Watched video because of very listenable narration ( learning English). Plus restoration work is fantastic.
Sooooo good to come across a youtuber with a real sense of prose.
The level of commitment to finish these projects is immense. Keep at it and you will have a lifetime of memories and a wonderful house.
👍👍👍 I can relate to many of your problems and upsets. Thank you

Fantástico el trabajo y tu sentido de humor sobre todo. Puedes dejar la lista de su música? Me gusta. LEs felicito mucho! Cariños desde Chile
Thank you 😊. The list of music used in the video is in the video description (under the title).
Good adventure. The only thing that would have made your adventure easier is to use a piping bag like pastry chefs use for the pointing. Just point, squeeze, and smooth out.
Congrats
I only recently found your channel and are really enjoying it. So sorry to hear about your loss of Poppy. It’s awful when you lose a beloved fur baby. I also watch the channel Make.Do.Grow They are renovating a stone building in Portugal and also have issues with damp. Check out their most recent video. They are installing a venting system to help them reduce the humidity issues. They may have some suggestions that could help you guys with your damp issues too ❤️
what a beautiful video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well done
Beau travail, bravo
Yes ot is a tremendous job
I am so sorry about your Poppy. We have a Poppy she is a boxer puppy. We lost our Lucy last year because she had mouth cancer. I saw Poppy and her brothers and sisters for sale and showed my Daughter and she got her!
The pretend to talk on the telephone. Was hilarious.
Great video but old stone walls you will never beat sad to say as rain seeps through and down inside the wall
After seeing the opening shots of your home I nearly quit the video. It looked too tough to watch it. Vut by the end I can tell you I really enjoyed the story
No bulldozer.
I'm enjoying it too much 😅
