As a bricklayer I can assure you that there is no work more thankless, hard and dirty than restoring an old house, but it is still interesting and pleasant when by chance, you come across historical objects of all kinds, old photos, coins, knives or firearms almost as old as the house itself. But in spite of all the dust, cobwebs and all kinds of junk, the final result of the work is always a source of pride and satisfaction and you end up liking to go on restoring instead of building a new house.
I enjoyed your video! I love the history in old houses and admire your determination to do this mountain of work! Although it’s refreshing to watch just your work I really would have liked a few short sentences of explanation about what’s going on with the room your in, the damage and your plan then to watch it unfold! I’m guessing maybe language would be an issue?? Also where are you living? What kind of farming are you doing and what vision do you have for that part? I’ll be watching, and thanks for sharing this,
Тяжёлый титанический труд! Занимался этим, знаю не по наслышке. Но с такими помощниками: супруга,кот и друзья можно горы свернуть. Браво. Берегите себя и своих близких.👍👏
Awesome job, you are amazing, so glad you had Kitty to “snoopervise” everything you did, what would you have done without him/her? Cannot believe how hard you have worked, with love and good humor- many thanks with love from NY USA- XOXOX
Now, as an old man, with a lifetime of building restoration experiences from centuries old Manor House’s to small old farm cottages, I feel lost for words at what you have achieved and continue to achieve building your family home together. Anything I say can never fully compliment you both in the way you truly deserve. Your dedication, your work ethic, your tenacity, your determination. My admiration for you both is way beyond my abilities to convey to you in meaningful words. From one human to a very special pair of humans I wish to say that I am very proud of you, thank you. In a very rapidly changing world, one that at times I no longer recognise, you give me hope that hard work, along with all those other good human qualities that I mentioned earlier are still to be seen and found in this world’s younger generations. Don’t forget….. Be proud of all that you have achieved and you both continue to achieve.👍
And put so eloquently. I also enjoy your channel and I too am in awe of the level of renovation that you are carrying out . All your hard work will pay off as you will have created a magnificent family hone that will stand for another hundred years . I congratulate you both .
Счастья вам в вашем доме пусть радость живет в нем и слышится детский смех а вам здоровья вы молодцы такую работу делаете береги вас бог и пусть будет МИР
During this whole renovation, I see the one that did the most hard work is the big round chubby in the black fur. It feels so rewarding by watching your videos.
UA-cam algothrim sent me here for the remodel. The high quality cat is just a bonus. These farm houses are pretty cool. Always fun to see how it's done in Europe vs the US.
I have watched a lot of restoration and renovation videos with many enormous building challenges. But, I have never seen a couple work harder than the two of you, all the while you are continuing with your full-time jobs and raising a young family. You are amazing.
This is more like a complete rebuild rather than a renovation. The amount of work is staggering, but even more impressive is that it was done by (apparently) just two people, plus a little help from two kids, the ReadyMIX dudes and the ladder climbing cat. The diverse skills needed were extensive (concrete, masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, glazing, landscaping, welding, painting, tiling, and whatever else I left out). Except for the baby tractor and a few power tools, the work was done by hand. It was a complete tour de force of the construction trades. Further, the work is almost professional grade. Well done!
Наняли бы 100 гастарбайтеров, чтобы они им за неделю весь дом до фундамента разобрали по кирпичику. Всё бы разровняли и нормально бы ещё за две недели обратно сложили. Это всё равно оказалось бы дешевле, чем столько времени терять и столько переделывать.
@@MsValentino2 Я думаю тут вопрос еще и в финансах. Одно дело энную сумму гастерам за неделю отдать, другое дело это растянуть на 2 года, да еще и на много дешевле.
@@MsValentino2 кредит выплачивать нет удовольствия, а востанавливать дом своими руками это отдельный вид развлечения )))) кто-то лежит дома смотрит футбол и тратит свое время, а кто-то восстанавливает старый дом.
As an older guy, above all, I envy your stamina, and I hope this new home brings your family all the happiness you've worked so hard for. Good luck in the new year.
Pity you didn’t use a pressure hose to get rid of some of the muck on the cobblestones,might have save you some effort. All your efforts are impressive.Well done!!
Watching those clouds go by , The rays of light, Abundance of trees in the background was terrific. How wonderful The beauty that you are surrounded by Inside And out side your home . We watched time go by And while you painstakingly made a home. Thank you sharing your labors of love. Gods country was definitely definitely ready for your family. This was wonderful.
THANK YOU FOR VACUUMING AND CLEANING! I’ve seen a billion restorations and renovations and NO ONE cleans up or brushes brick and wood. I can’t imagine how dusty and “old” those buildings smell despite new walls and paint. And y’all wear masks and gloves Y’all are the best DIYers I’ve seen
When I first saw your farmhouse in it’s “before” state, I swear it was saying, “Take a chance on me. PLEASE, take a chance on me!!” So glad that you did!
I spent my entire youth and then some renovating and flipping houses my parents bought and sold. We did everything from basements to belfries, cabinetry to carpeting, demolition to downspouts, drywall, plumbing, electric, masonry, and concrete. That was long ago and I feel worn out just watching some of the back-breaking work you're doing. I can't wait to see where you go next and to see you relaxing and enjoying all this work.
Heavens this is unbelievable as a couple both of you pulled this off . Hats off to both of you and your amazing family . This is what we say “ Labor of Love “
As ever, hard work seemingly endless. Huge house to restore by two people.Loved all interaction with nature, even bug house; charming family. Will be a Beautiful home you will love because of your work. You have made it your Own.
The amount of work you've both have done, in two years, is staggering! Both of you are the most hardest working people I have ever watched. My favorite, re-doing the roof, add skylights and insulation, essentially saved the house. Take pride in the accomplishment of 2 years of hard work. Well done!!! Merry Christmas to you, your family and Ukraine❤ Take care and get some much needed rest over the holidays. 🎄🤶🌲🇺🇦 🇧🇪
I can't believe all of your hard two year old work can fit in an hour long video on UA-cam. I really admire how you did everything by yourself. Must be such a great experience to build your own home.
Not only are your skills in renovation amazing, but your filmmaking skills ARE GREAT ! Those longer sequences with the butterfly, the coffee, the sky.. And your cat !
Great point. Can you imagine putting in long days doing this work, and setting cameras, the when you're exhausted, editing video? Sure, sitting down is a relief, but that's still more time away from relaxing and tending to sore muscles and back. Then again, reviewing the video shows you just how much you can accomplish.
We will keep the cobblestones and we will clean them again, we just had no time this year. But once we move in, we will have much more time and more evenings to bring more order to the house and surroundings.
@@DeHoeveNoTalkJustWork Hit them with "Total Kill" while growing to kill everything down to the root system. Do this 2 maybe 3 times before maybe doing a water jet cleaning and resetting with new paver sand.
You two are extraordinary! So much hard, dirty and sometimes dangerous work over 2 years. I would probably have despaired at some point and would have given up. You have my respect! Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
It's amazing to see that the entire area in front of the house was paved with brick or cobble. Sorting this out made a huge difference in the appearance of the exterior. Great work.
I once read an article about a farmer who cleared an area that was behind an old milking parlour, it was covered with 2 ft of compressed cow crap built up over several decades he thought. It was hard as concrete but when they got rid of it they discovered a huge flagstone yard that dated back a couple of hundred years!
Love it. reminds me of what we did 35 years ago in 3 of the houses we consecutively owned in the UK. but i do regret the endless time and money we spent that we could have spent on family etc. we had full time jobs, twins a few months old and very little money. the first house took 20 years the 2nd 6. we learned a lot, made mistakes but now we are reaping the reward but i am now 62 years old.
Outstanding effort! I’m in the carpentry trade, do all the things you’ve done, I know what it takes to do this manual work. But I have to say what impressed me thee most….the love you two have shown each other! The way you worked together through all that dirty tedious cleaning floors and walls, ceilings brick cleaning. Just incredible effort. Well done!
How nice it is to look at such a well-coordinated family: you are wonderful parents...with your daily work you show your growing sons...how you need to work hard to live in prosperity, no matter what! - What can be done from an abandoned building - rebuild a new beautiful home! - I want to thank you for the fact that you have combined all the series of video recordings into one, + accelerated video... giving us the opportunity to appreciate your enormous physical work!!! - The house ends up looking better over time... I'm very happy for you guys, thank you for being here!!! Good luck to you in all your endeavors!!! Good health and longevity!!! - GREAT HAPPINESS TO YOU ALL - IN THE NEW UPDATED ESTATE HOUSE!!!
I can´t remember when i saw a house being build with all walls made of brick, a house like that can last more than a 1000 years with some love and care. Europe have a fantastic history and so many beautiful buildings. It´s a joy to watch you bring the buildings into the future.
I'm only halfway through watching and I'm exhausted!! You two are the definition of dedicated and relentless. What a MASSIVE amount of labor and dedication for DIYers. I can't imagine watching you that you've never had any training in the building trade. It's utterly amazing work you are putting into this home!
Very inspiring! We‘re working on a farmhouse build in 1802 and it’s often heartbreaking and mostly backbreaking. You doing it with a smile and a cup of coffee in the sunrise. Thank you!
Amazing the work you have done and the accomplishments on repair etc. Someday you will be able to just sit down and enjoy a hot coffee in a beautiful WARM home. No more remodeling ( lol). One thing for sure is all this work has kept you both in great physical shape. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👀
Been renovating as well for almost a year now (only Fridays and Saturdays). The amount of rubble was insane. Can't imagine how it must have felt to finally reach that tipping point where you started to fix stuff instead of demolish stuff!
This must be surreal for you to look at - what a tremendous amount of work you have done! At some point, though, you will get to the painting, curtains and furniture and it will all have been worth it!
I'm in awe of you two. The determination, the spirit, to keep going, day after day. I take a bow for you. You even had time to build an insect house for your daughter. Now that's love and dedication. What a family you are. I hope it will be your forever home, since you have work tirelessly for all these years. Well done to you both. I have never enjoyed a restoration as much as I have this one. Wonderful xxxxxxx
Guys I can’t believe 2 years have gone by already!! I still remember watching that first video and subscribing. I have been a fan since then. All my love to you from Chile 🇨🇱
Two years have flown! You have accomplished so much. I am so proud of you Illia, Marina, kids and other family members. Your home will be spectacular when finished! 😊
The amount of work you have done is astounding, given as neither of you has any experience. The shot of the pink sky at the end where you say "thank you" is a glorious sight to behold.
Truly amazing! You are such hard workers and accomplish a great deal every day, especially the cat, who endlessly keeps watch and protects the household! My ancestors are Belgian and I enjoy thinking that, perhaps they watched your house being built and I am watching it being renovated and rebuilt! I can't wait to watch more! Thank you for sharing!
When I watch videos such this I can only appreciate how much hard work and commitment is invested in bringing the house back to its original structural beauty. I always imagine that old houses and old furnitures breathe a sigh of relief when they are renovated and they are grateful. I will continue watching your improvements and wish you all the best this new year.
Great to see people with the vision and energy to preserve historic buildings and doing it the right way............................these buildings have so much more character than the "throw away" structures going up today. It will all be worth it in the end...................Cheers from a New Mexican in a historic 1918 brick bungalow.
I kept saying to myself, I remember when they did that! How much you two have accomplished. Thanks for the recap. Beautiful. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2023
We started to follow projects like this about abandoned farm restorations over two year ago. We were so inspired by these kind of content that we decided to start our own abandoned farm restoration project. In September 2022 we bought a piece of land in Spain that has a beautiful stone house “in bad condition” that will be restored later this year 2023. We started to share our journey in the hope to inspire others, as we were inspired. We are very grateful for you guys for sharing your journey with us. Thank you
A stunning amount of work ( done correctly ) you must feel such a sense of accomplishment . you basically have a newly built , antique farm house now .... can't wait to see what comes next !
What a mammoth undertaking. To take a building partially down and rebuild it much better must be so much more difficult . You have achieved much in a short time and i wish you all the best for continued success and i look forward to seeing more. ❤️🙏
Wow, so much work and you guys just seem to keep going and never slow down. So remarkable what you two have done and you will have something to be proud of, may God bless your effort and hard work.
Awesome work guys! I thoroughly enjoyed the 2-year renovation timelapse! You two have put a lot of sweat equity in the old farmhouse. Looking forward to more videos. A lot of tedious work to bring the house up to code. The fruits of your labor will someday result in making this house your home.

Amazing the work you have done and the accomplishments on repair etc. Someday you will be able to just sit down and enjoy a hot coffee in a beautiful WARM home. No more remodeling ( lol). One thing for sure is all this work has kept you both in great physical shape. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👀
This house definitely deserved a family like yours.
Been renovating as well for almost a year now (only Fridays and Saturdays). The amount of rubble was insane. Can't imagine how it must have felt to finally reach that tipping point where you started to fix stuff instead of demolish stuff!
Wow! All that great cobble stone work was covered in tree growth and weeds. I am very glad to see it uncovered, great work!
I've been watching from the beginning, what you both have achieved in those two years is phenomenal.
Thank you very much, Patrick!
This must be surreal for you to look at - what a tremendous amount of work you have done! At some point, though, you will get to the painting, curtains and furniture and it will all have been worth it!
To my surprise I watched the whole hour. What an effort! We've doen a lot too, but this is truly over the top. Highest praise!
I'm in awe of you two. The determination, the spirit, to keep going, day after day. I take a bow for you. You even had time to build an insect house for your daughter. Now that's love and dedication. What a family you are. I hope it will be your forever home, since you have work tirelessly for all these years. Well done to you both. I have never enjoyed a restoration as much as I have this one. Wonderful xxxxxxx
Guys I can’t believe 2 years have gone by already!! I still remember watching that first video and subscribing. I have been a fan since then. All my love to you from Chile 🇨🇱
Thank you ❤
Two years have flown! You have accomplished so much. I am so proud of you Illia, Marina, kids and other family members. Your home will be spectacular when finished! 😊
oH, THE ENERGY OF YOUTH! I wish I still had that kind of energy to get things done! Amazing!
Love it...the cat checks out the van to make sure that what was ordered, got delivered. Can I hire the cat? Love your hard work, folks.
Хорошую работу сделали, молодцы ребята, дай вам всего хорошего в жизни.👍👍👍👍👍
The amount of work you have done is astounding, given as neither of you has any experience.
The shot of the pink sky at the end where you say "thank you" is a glorious sight to behold.
Truly amazing! You are such hard workers and accomplish a great deal every day, especially the cat, who endlessly keeps watch and protects the household! My ancestors are Belgian and I enjoy thinking that, perhaps they watched your house being built and I am watching it being renovated and rebuilt! I can't wait to watch more! Thank you for sharing!
When I watch videos such this I can only appreciate how much hard work and commitment is invested in bringing the house back to its original structural beauty. I always imagine that old houses and old furnitures breathe a sigh of relief when they are renovated and they are grateful. I will continue watching your improvements and wish you all the best this new year.
Great to see people with the vision and energy to preserve historic buildings and doing it the right way............................these buildings have so much more character than the "throw away" structures going up today. It will all be worth it in the end...................Cheers from a New Mexican in a historic 1918 brick bungalow.
I kept saying to myself, I remember when they did that! How much you two have accomplished. Thanks for the recap. Beautiful. Wishing you and your family a very
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2023

We started to follow projects like this about abandoned farm restorations over two year ago. We were so inspired by these kind of content that we decided to start our own abandoned farm restoration project. In September 2022 we bought a piece of land in Spain that has a beautiful stone house “in bad condition” that will be restored later this year 2023. We started to share our journey in the hope to inspire others, as we were inspired. We are very grateful for you guys for sharing your journey with us. Thank you
A stunning amount of work ( done correctly ) you must feel such a sense of accomplishment . you basically have a newly built , antique farm house now .... can't wait to see what comes next !
What a mammoth undertaking. To take a building partially down and rebuild it much better must be so much more difficult . You have achieved much in a short time and i wish you all the best for continued success and i look forward to seeing more. ❤️🙏
You guys did a great job and put in a tremendous amount of work. You have something you can really be proud of.
Wow, so much work and you guys just seem to keep going and never slow down. So remarkable what you two have done and you will have something to be proud of, may God bless your effort and hard work.
Awesome work guys! I thoroughly enjoyed the 2-year renovation timelapse! You two have put a lot of sweat equity in the old farmhouse. Looking forward to more videos. A lot of tedious work to bring the house up to code. The fruits of your labor will someday result in making this house your home.
