    Superb job Sean - your 'conservationist' attitude shows respect for a building's history and its historical value. That build DOES look like it has always been there - 100% spot-on. Time for a cuppa with Sam and a warm gooey piece of sticky toffee pud.

    Sean, it looks fantastic! Yes, it looks like it’s been there for 300 years and now the cottage will stand another 300 years. You are the master of lime mortar, stone and using what you have. Love that old piece of wood. ❤

    Good camerawork. Lots of angles, we can clearly see what you’re doing and follow along. I’ve watched so many channels with boring and even out-of-focus videos that this is a real pleasure to see. Also, the cottage is looking better and better 😊

    I don't always get your vision when you're trying to solve problems but with your experience as a builder and the materials you work with I trust that you are going down the right road to a solution. And "Hey, it's rustic!" covers much of what is needed in the cottage. Best wishes to you and Sam.

    I've heard people say "Trust the Process" and that certainly applies to this wall. Before you finish, while you're showing us what you are going to do it doesn't look great -- BUT, once you finish it's BEAUTIFUL and looks like it's always been there. Good job, Sean.

    Sean, I am so inspired by you and your channel is my absolute favourite! I recently bought a tiny hamlet house with a barn - everything it's made out of is the same as your cottage! The roof tiles, the Tomettes, the weathered granite corner stones and big stone slabs! I'm following you very closely, especially the how you installed the roof windows, all done from the inside 👍 My favourite material so far has been lime mortar and more lime! What a difference just rendering walls and revealing the old stone makes😀 Always looking forward to your next episode XX

  • @RealBrunoF
    @RealBrunoF 7 днів тому +2

    Sean, the wall looks great so far. I would suggest considering adding another course or two of the timers on top of the timber in order to tie in to the use of the tiles on top of the course of stones. Just a thought. I really like how you work out you plan of action!

  • @marcie685
    @marcie685 7 днів тому +2

    Seeing the wall panels will be above the piece of timber it would have been an idea to sand it and clean it up to be uniform with the panels.

    When I was an apprentice bricky the old timers had a saying, “Mortar on wood, no good. Mortar on steel, no deal.” I think all stone would have been better looking, or some old bricks incorporated into a mud room bench/wall.
