I hope you never grow old. The song says you won't, so long as there's love in your heart but unfortunately there are physical restraints that become obvious with age. May you never run out of time.
That is so true. Aging happens, sometimes fast and sometimes slow. In 2020 I was renovating a 100 yo home in the USA. One bad car wreck and I was learning how to walk again. The shoulder injury is what gets me. Two dinner plates are too heavy for the damaged arm.
@@darbyoshieles4088 A bicycle accident wrecked my Friseur capabilities. Such a simple thing as washing, drying and combing one's own hair gives you an appreciation of the meaning of those who are restricted in mobility and forced to rely on assisted living. One learns to cope, unhappily but out of necessity and a brave front is adopted. Grooming one's hair has dropped a couple of levels in expectation but a certain amount of independence can still be maintained and that's the important thing. Sure, it means putting a lot of thought into your physical activities before you attempt actions but with today's technology, ( and you with your brain), there are ways and means around the difficulties that present. Unfortunately, the success usual bases itself on knowledge, financial independence and community services and family and friend's support. But, it's not impossible. Another singer says, "Always look on the bright side of things, ti dum, ti dum." Wishing you all the very best and never give up. Learn to pace yourself and match your body's capacity; easier said than done. I'm sure you are doing just that. 💪 💕.
You guys are the best ever. So funny. The interaction between the both of you. The small doubt about the correct horizontal position of the beam, the celebration when the work gets done correctly. Such a strong team, making your youtube channel a huge succes
Every step is one closer to being able to sit, relaxing and enjoying a home renovated with your own hands. Not many achieve that. Well done on your perseverance which is a lesson many in this world can learn from. 🍀☘️🌿🍃🌾🌻
I admire that you do things correctly. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. This redo is commendable. I also give you credit for showing a realistic time to accomplish your projects. I am jealous of what you two are doing and really look forward to your weekly uploads!
Oh how I concur about a flushing toilet. For me it's a case of "you can do without a lit of things in life, but a flushing toilet is not one of them". I was living with a port-a-loo for the past 21 months, and when I hooked up the loo to flush, I did the "happy jig" and you couldn't wipe the smile off my face for a good month, or so! 😀 You are both doing a great job, and I'm learning a lot from you, and your mistakes.
"Have you measured it?" LoL... you two sound like us...as long as you're happy with the new work that's the main thing. No one wants a lingering doubt when doing a renovation. We love the windows and light in that room. Take care
At 12:46...the "Highly underrated" comment; this really struck a chord! I have lived in my current home for 17 years now....very often when I exit or arrive into my tiny door entrance I am reminded of how 'able' I felt stepping into my house when I very first viewed it. So thankful I made it into this space. And I hope over the years you still appreciate that feeling on entering this HOME you have gutted and rebuilt. You have made it YOUR safe space, your Heaven on Earth and NO ONE can take away the effort, love, time and patience you have poured into this home. Continue to love, live and nurture each other under its roof. Bless you both, you are a shining example of 'how to' be as ONE.💕🙏💞
You and Kylie are an incredible couple. I love watching your channel!! Well done and congratulations on the new floor. Definitely need to celebrate 🥂 🍾 😊
Glad you redid these joists ! NEVER notch a joist anywhere ! If the proper height (thickness) is too high, move to the next shorter thickness of lumber. Double the width or half the spacing between joist for additional strength. Place shims on top of the beam to obtain the proper height for the sub-floor.
As Mike Holmes would say, "Do it right!" and you definitely are making it right and strong! Good plan to move in gradually and that indoor plumbing is a must and a godsend!❤ Cheers,Sandy&Andy from the Okanogan,Canada
Well done and thank you for being so honest with your mistake, so that many of us could learn from it. Your detailed descriptions are much appreciated. I must admit though, when you wrote "This is better", I was thinking "Please don't saw through that blue plastic, corrugated pipe"!😀 Looking forward to the next instalment.
Love you two, never afraid to admit when something goes wrong but you learn and fix it, never any bodging. It is going to be a very special house, high spec to your needs and filled with lots of memories. ❤❤
I recall my grandmother used to say: It looks great from a galloping horse. That is my paraphrase, but I admire all your hard work and hope you can both realize most visitors will never examine your work in the minute detail you both do. Please can we see your sweet kittens? I am devoted to your videos and admire all the skills.
Watching you saw over those blue pipes made me so nervous that you were going to nick the pipe! LOL Great job guys! Love how you redo things where you've realized you've done something wrong!! Such a great example you're setting for people!
I love this, learning from mistakes, this stuff should be shown to kids in high school. It seems discouraging but sometimes we only can learn through mistakes. Wonderful video, thank you.
I so admire your perseverance. I would pull out every rib of my hair in frustration! You are so patient to redo and start from the beginning. Good work.❤❤❤
I watched this when you did it the 1st time around, but couldn't remember the reason why it had to be redone. Thanks for the reminder. Makes perfect sense to this 'couch expert' 😂 Hopefully you're able to re-purpose those fancy pieces of wood. Love your work and can't wait to see how the house turns out 👌🏼🙃
Bravo! I know it's hard to redo something that massive but the satisfaction you must feel having it done (getting it off the list and your mind) is immense. Keep on keepin' on :)
It seems somewhat perverse that I derive so much pleasure from watching the two of you work so hard and achieve so well. But there you have it, I do. btw, I recently watched a video from one year ago where you were mapping out what needed to be done in the utility room in order to have the heating system installed. I was delighted to be able to have a view of the future and to know how well and beautifully you accomplished all needed tasks on your "to do" list from a year ago.
It takes fortitude and patience to rip out a mistake and do it again the right way. Well done! We learned about this the hard way after letting a plumber work without enough supervision and he cut big notches in joists and studs to get pipes through.
Good for you for doing it right. There is a huge temptation to just "leave it" but doing it right, financially hurts a bit now but feels better for the next 20 years
I love you both... learning and sharing right in the proper way...we all learn in the process. As a scout we had many wonderful moments, not easy ones, but we needed to make it work for a good camping for all of us and ... wow... learning always, and we had to prepare our cooking utensils, our sleeping ground, our activity meetings, storing our food, and of course a nice rest room and shower....and it worked well in many different camping grounds and environments. A housing of course require more careful work, but it is all in the same process ....I sure love scouting, one of the most inspiring program for us all young kids ...we learn to become more smart, creative and successful...both of you took me back to my many moments because of how you work together ...supportive and motivating 🎉
Fatigue, it's the worst when making decisions!!! Kylie it sounds like you need another mini vacation!! Well done on deciding to make it right!! You will be happier in the long run and you'll sleep better!! Hugs from 🇨🇦
I’m so sorry for both of you. All that hard work only to have to redo it. Such a shame, however you both know your floor is so much more solid and will last for years. Very well done both of you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Well done. Another great video. I lookforward to each one. As a teacher of teenagers your valuable examples of resilience, perseverance and deferred gratification are much appreciated in the world of 'instant' and 'disposable'. There will be nothing on earth like the satisfaction you will feel when you can finally move in. ❤
I love " the better save then sorry" approach you guys use! Everybody makes mistakes so you are not the only ones😉. I am however sure that even with the nodges the joists where strong enough. But again, better save then sorry 👍🏻
I was going to add some comments after the last video about this area of flooring but didn't because it looked like it was the right decision. Epoxy-based wood filler would have been about as strong as new joists but it is too expensive for what it is, and the job would have been so awkward that it wasn't worth thinking about. Also, there are metal bracing systems that can be used to bond two joists together but again - expensive and difficult to do well. If the alternative costs about the same and it essentially an easier and better job, that is replacing the joists outright, I'm afraid I didn't want to say much to you....! Good to see you made it through the video without using any bad language...what's been edited out just doesn't count.
Even I felt relief that it was redone! A plane can be a handy tool when levelling off joists in situ, considering things plumb & square can be your biggest challenge in flooring. Take care in the heat! Cheers from Oz! 🇦🇺
I'm glad you fixed this error. When you were doing it the first time, I was thinking, no, no, no!! But all is well and you've learned something else. Thanks for the video!
The beam looks quite solid now and I'm sure you both feel much happier with the end result. Can't wait to see what the next project is as well as kitten progress. 😄
You guys are doing fantastic. This is life: having dreams, talking about your dreams, wondering if you can make them real. And then letting go. Letting go and taking off on your journey to try and make them real. You've created some wonderful things; a good relationship, a home, and some truly sketchy-looking concoctions to help you along your way. You've also created a community. There are many many people all over the world rooting for you. You should be very proud of yourselves. BTW: Either the editing is really well done or you two have the sweetest dispositions. I'm a general contractor and I've never seen a job site so polite and civil. PS. Not so you have to undo everything again, but since you used screws it won't be too bad; you might want to consider adding some sub-floor adhesive between your OSB and joists/beams- the term we use is the evocative "glue and screw"- unless you're installing the squeaky floor security system in your entrance for when someone gets home late. And it'll help structurally strengthen the sub-floor membrane. I'm sure they have an all purpose construction adhesive in Portugal. Cheers!
YOU TWO DID GREATTT!!! Good job and wonderful attitude you display in each video. Thanks for posting and explaining what you do. Good help for us inexperienced DIYers. God bless and stay safe and NO accidents.
Well done! Admittedly, I'd have done the same to make it right and for my own peace of mind. They are probably just fine as it but if you wanted to strengthen the notched ends plate both sides with a thin metal plate or plywood top to bottom with several nails or construction screws right beside the notch. This will effectively transfer the load down to the section of the timber that was cut off, this is very common in remodels. As always, I enjoyed watching your video.
I know that feeling ... different craft though. I knitted a lovely cable Aran style jumper (many many hours of work thank you), sewed the pieces together and whilst admiring my handiwork horror struck! I had reversed a cable, just one damn cable, on the front panel of the jumper 2" above the ribbing that sits on my hips. Impossible to wear the jumper without it being noticed. Now it lives in a dark cupboard, hiding from comedians ...... waiting for me to knit and crochet a pocket to hide my booboo. One can never have too many pockets so this was just fate reminding me of my original design flaw - no pocket. 🤣🤣 I greatly enjoy watching your ever so slowly evolving homestead. Guy, you have a lovely voice and Kylie your strength, persistence and calmness in the face of one unexpected horror after another is a credit to you and the life you have led to this point in time. You make a great team. Glad you found each other, and that I found you.
"Without much dramas..." if i ever saw anyone keeping their cool n no drama it is u guys. I would have blown the top off my head quote a few times in ur shoes. If anything u deserve a pat on the back. I have a healthy amount of respect for what u r doing and how u r handling it.
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Idea re: showers Have you heard of the Orbital Shower system? It enables you to save up to 90% of your shower water by recycling/purifying the water as you shower. Knowing that water is in short supply, I thought you might be interested in checking it out. Keep up the good work!
You made the right decision - especially for your peace of mind. Delighted for you that it’s done now and you can move on to exciting work like sub floors and (trembles with anticipation) a flushing toilet. My you will be spoiling yourselves this winter 😆🤣
wow,,,,,GLAD the second time worked out much better for you and your peace of mind. Always look forward to your videos! You Two make a great team, thanks for Sharing~!
I so love your attitudes regarding any necessary “do over”. Both of you are an inspiration to anyone watching. (But, I do pray that this was your last “do over!” HA!)
it is really an inspiration seeing you both doing this long term renovation. I am pretty sure I an learning a lot for the renovation a small house I purchased that need a renovation also.
Great work you two! I'm a retired custom home design/builder of 40 years. I went to college for architecture. Too bad you replaced those notched joists. You could have either made that wall a bearing wall below (if it's going to stay) or added a couple of pieces of 3/4" x 3' plywood glued and screwed to each side of the notched joists to prevent any flex of those notched joists. I doubt if there would actually be any because your span looks relatively short and your joists are pretty substantial in section. And your on-center spacing looks pretty short. This may all be moot if you are planning on exposing the joists below. Just my $.02. Good luck!
Thinking Portugal should be praising folks like both of you for improving awful properties that in their country.Looks looks like you could be into a few rooms to keep warm for winter.🎉😊
Rilliant work. May I add as I could not see it in the pictures that I hope you have added a plastic DPC under the timbers by the front door. This will be a primary place for rot from both damp and water getting in under the front door. You can buy it in differing sizes on a roll. You will want to also make sure it comes up over the end of the joist and over the top. Remove the last floor board. Jack up,the joist a few mm. and add in the DPC. Replace flooring. Job done
Yah that’s unfortunately how you learn especially when it’s things you have not done at all or very little of, I know it’s so frustrating being set back. But I like that you show us the way you both learn, because it’s so easy sometimes to think why did I do that?
Not to beat a dead shower, but I have to say I do not know anyone living “off grid “ who believes in showering everyday. It isn’t sustainable when hauling and heating water while working full time or more. Then let’s consider the demographic of the persons living “off grid “. They generally are conservationists…of water and other precious resources. Love you guys!💗
I would be surprised if there is not a local metal fabricator /Blacksmith in your area ,who could have made Steel cheek plates for you .There are several near me in the south who make all kinds of metal stuff for buildings .Ie doors ,Window grills .well lids ,railings ,balcony rails ,staircases , wall plates ,and all kinds of joist hangers /brackets etc .Just give them a cardboard pattern or dimensioned drawing and they will make it .They are often also repairers of agricultural breakages to ploughs, diggers,etc It might be worth asking around and see who is near you .Because you will need metal stuff made as you progress your renovation .That’s for sure .And Portugal is a country where such small companies doing bespoke stuff still exist .It’s just a matter of finding them ! Cheers
@@MAKEDOGROW I was thinking more of just asking a local farmer or builder if they know of a local ferreiro or metalurgico if you happen to see one working when you are out and about .Or your local builders merchant will probably know .And yes using the phone is probably a waste of time .Answering the phone ain’t high on anyone’s agenda in Portugal in my experience .cheers .
Congratulations on your achievements and even your failures .. because of the lessons along the way ... I think I have learned the good bad and ugly of some of your projects it's rare for any thing to go perfect but I am also learning how to fix it now instead of later and save myself from the trauma and nightmares over mistakes, Beautiful work both of you !
I live in a wooden house with three levels now for sound purposes install insulation in between levels for sounds barrier; trust me here in the US they only insulate the exterior wall, well no not enough as long as there is wood frame it needs to have insulation from plumbing noise, music, etc etc... 😊
I felt for you moving that OSB. I required a big flat workbench (I had two separate workbenches) Went to B&Q saw the sheet of OSB was £30 said to myself that will do. Had two servers load it on to a trolley for me. Next issue was loading it into my LWB Sprinter. Managed to obtain help. then of course once I arrived home it was unloading it. I use the OSB sheet outside spread across the workbenches. Of course if it rains it has to go into the garage and every night and morning it needs moving in and out of the garage. I do regret purchasing it now. The part of my project requiring it is nearly finished I will be happy to cut it up and burn it. Have you seen the wood spanned prefabricated buildings? where the wood supporting sections are made up of softwood 18" by 12" they stick lots of wood pieces together to make up the 18" x 12" section. When the lengths become to long for transportation they are platted together. Also where one piece of wood joins a another at an angle for architectural purposes the joint is plated. You will find the buildings with broad spans used for swimming pools and sport centers. My hunt for materials is also challenging I often go around my local industrial estates skip diving. I have both woodworking and metalworking tools.
I think most people would not think it’s crazy to prioritizing a flushing toilet.😆All the hard work, with the rewards of accomplishment , must feel like luxuries.
Well done guy's u said u learn by your mistakes and u have it makes u feel good in yourself I would b proud of myself doing it your way and the main thing u feel safe walking on it.x
I suppose there is a tiny benefit, you now have some wood beams that are useful (probably) in another project. A piano could now be moved across the floor and no squeaks, it looks that solid. Onward! How are your chickens doing?
HELLO KYLIE & GUY...OH ME LORD...I REMEMBER THIS PAINFUL EXPERIENCE FROM YOUR LAST VIDEO...NOT MY FAVORITE PASTIME, FOR SURE...RIPPING UP JUST-LAID FLOORING & REDOING ALL AGAIN...BUT, BETTER DONE RIGHT, THAN SUFFER FOR IT LATER...YOU DID SWELL, THE 2ND TIME...ALL THE BEST...🙏;)

I like that you show the missteps & then how to bite the bullet to do it right. I will think of you (hopefully) before I make a similar thing. Thanks
I agree with you choosing to redo the joists. You will feel so much happier in the years to come, knowing you have a solid floor under your feet 🎉
I’m so sorry for both of you. All that hard work only to have to redo it. Such a shame, however you both know your floor is so much more solid and will last for years. Very well done both of you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
It’s good to have peace of mind. Now you can truly move on worry free, since your joists are safe and secure. Nice job! 😊

Now it lives in a dark cupboard, hiding from comedians ...... waiting for me to knit and crochet a pocket to hide my booboo. One can never have too many pockets so this was just fate reminding me of my original design flaw - no pocket. 🤣🤣
I greatly enjoy watching your ever so slowly evolving homestead. Guy, you have a lovely voice and Kylie your strength, persistence and calmness in the face of one unexpected horror after another is a credit to you and the life you have led to this point in time. You make a great team. Glad you found each other, and that I found you.
The walls are so beautiful I love rustic/modern houses 😊
Good work 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
"Without much dramas..." if i ever saw anyone keeping their cool n no drama it is u guys. I would have blown the top off my head quote a few times in ur shoes. If anything u deserve a pat on the back. I have a healthy amount of respect for what u r doing and how u r handling it.
Oh my goodness! You two have the most unbelievable patience in the world. It's so interesting to watch you work.
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them. Idea re: showers Have you heard of the Orbital Shower system? It enables you to save up to 90% of your shower water by recycling/purifying the water as you shower. Knowing that water is in short supply, I thought you might be interested in checking it out. Keep up the good work!
You made the right decision - especially for your peace of mind. Delighted for you that it’s done now and you can move on to exciting work like sub floors and (trembles with anticipation) a flushing toilet. My you will be spoiling yourselves this winter 😆🤣
Oh, the luxuries we’ll have 😂
wow,,,,,GLAD the second time worked out much better for you and your peace of mind. Always look forward to your videos! You Two make a great team, thanks for Sharing~!
I so love your attitudes regarding any necessary “do over”. Both of you are an inspiration to anyone watching. (But, I do pray that this was your last “do over!” HA!)
I know nothing about the craft, so this is amazing to me. You guys are GREAT.
it is really an inspiration seeing you both doing this long term renovation. I am pretty sure I an learning a lot for the renovation a small house I purchased that need a renovation also.
Great work you two!
I'm a retired custom home design/builder of 40 years. I went to college for architecture. Too bad you replaced those notched joists. You could have either made that wall a bearing wall below (if it's going to stay) or added a couple of pieces of 3/4" x 3' plywood glued and screwed to each side of the notched joists to prevent any flex of those notched joists. I doubt if there would actually be any because your span looks relatively short and your joists are pretty substantial in section. And your on-center spacing looks pretty short. This may all be moot if you are planning on exposing the joists below. Just my $.02. Good luck!
Fijn dat jullie zelf de fout zagen en die hebben hersteld.Ik zie jullie volgende week in een hopelijk niet al te hete dagen weer lekker klussen.
My goodness you guys working so hard. God bless you guys to continue and all that.
*Kia ora Kylie & Guy, Well done on redoing and fixing the sub floor.*
Thinking Portugal should be praising folks like both of you for improving awful properties that in their country.Looks looks like you could be into a few rooms to keep warm for winter.🎉😊
Rilliant work. May I add as I could not see it in the pictures that I hope you have added a plastic DPC under the timbers by the front door. This will be a primary place for rot from both damp and water getting in under the front door. You can buy it in differing sizes on a roll. You will want to also make sure it comes up over the end of the joist and over the top. Remove the last floor board. Jack up,the joist a few mm. and add in the DPC. Replace flooring. Job done
A great job done again and under your belts. I'm loving all your videos and watching it all come together. Thank-you Kylie snd Guy xxx
Yah that’s unfortunately how you learn especially when it’s things you have not done at all or very little of, I know it’s so frustrating being set back. But I like that you show us the way you both learn, because it’s so easy sometimes to think why did I do that?
You two works so well together, impressive to watch! 😘
The smaller hips, angle grinder comment and the 'sorry, what?' reply was really funny! 7:53
you're making progress, keep your spirits up renovations make of break you, where are you with the costs.
Not to beat a dead shower, but I have to say I do not know anyone living “off grid “ who believes in showering everyday. It isn’t sustainable when hauling and heating water while working full time or more. Then let’s consider the demographic of the persons living “off grid “. They generally are conservationists…of water and other precious resources. Love you guys!💗
I would be surprised if there is not a local metal fabricator /Blacksmith in your area ,who could have made Steel cheek plates for you .There are several near me in the south who make all kinds of metal stuff for buildings .Ie doors ,Window grills .well lids ,railings ,balcony rails ,staircases , wall plates ,and all kinds of joist hangers /brackets etc .Just give them a cardboard pattern or dimensioned drawing and they will make it .They are often also repairers of agricultural breakages to ploughs, diggers,etc It might be worth asking around and see who is near you .Because you will need metal stuff made as you progress your renovation .That’s for sure .And Portugal is a country where such small companies doing bespoke stuff still exist .It’s just a matter of finding them ! Cheers
Time to make a phone call = 5 minutes
Time to find someone = a lot more time
@@MAKEDOGROW I was thinking more of just asking a local farmer or builder if they know of a local ferreiro or metalurgico if you happen to see one working when you are out and about .Or your local builders merchant will probably know .And yes using the phone is probably a waste of time .Answering the phone ain’t high on anyone’s agenda in Portugal in my experience .cheers .
Congratulations on your achievements and even your failures .. because of the lessons along the way ... I think I have learned the good bad and ugly of some of your projects it's rare for any thing to go perfect but I am also learning how to fix it now instead of later and save myself from the trauma and nightmares over mistakes, Beautiful work both of you !
I love how you just admit the mistake and get on with it.
I live in a wooden house with three levels now for sound purposes install insulation in between levels for sounds barrier; trust me here in the US they only insulate the exterior wall, well no not enough as long as there is wood frame it needs to have insulation from plumbing noise, music, etc etc... 😊
A great project to put into your arsenal of experience 👍👍💟
Well done, Kylie and Guy.
I felt for you moving that OSB. I required a big flat workbench (I had two separate workbenches) Went to B&Q saw the sheet of OSB was £30 said to myself that will do.
Had two servers load it on to a trolley for me. Next issue was loading it into my LWB Sprinter. Managed to obtain help. then of course once I arrived home it was unloading it.
I use the OSB sheet outside spread across the workbenches. Of course if it rains it has to go into the garage and every night and morning it needs moving in and out of the garage.
I do regret purchasing it now. The part of my project requiring it is nearly finished I will be happy to cut it up and burn it.
Have you seen the wood spanned prefabricated buildings? where the wood supporting sections are made up of softwood 18" by 12" they stick lots of wood pieces together to make up the 18" x 12" section.
When the lengths become to long for transportation they are platted together. Also where one piece of wood joins a another at an angle for architectural purposes the joint is plated.
You will find the buildings with broad spans used for swimming pools and sport centers.
My hunt for materials is also challenging I often go around my local industrial estates skip diving. I have both woodworking and metalworking tools.
I think most people would not think it’s crazy to prioritizing a flushing toilet.😆All the hard work, with the rewards of accomplishment , must feel like luxuries.
One bonus,you can make some heavy duty shelving.
Brilliantly done hope you can find time to take a breather all work and no play is not good for soul ❤
You guys are just incredible, awsome!
And the wood you removed can eventually be used elsewhere.
Well done guys. You did the right thing by re-doing. Especially knowing that it was wrong. Very impressed.
Excelente trabajo están haciendo
Que vidio excelente meus amigos muitos parabens têm feito um trabalho incrivel thank you very much ❤❤
Well done guy's u said u learn by your mistakes and u have it makes u feel good in yourself I would b proud of myself doing it your way and the main thing u feel safe walking on it.x
Have u treated the new timber so pleased for u both that u got the floor done
So excited to see the next videos!!
I suppose there is a tiny benefit, you now have some wood beams that are useful (probably) in another project.
A piano could now be moved across the floor and no squeaks, it looks that solid.
Onward! How are your chickens doing?
Wah! Well keep persevering and you'll get it right.
I'd enjoy an eventual recap video of all the oopses/mishaps/lessons learnt... 😊
Christmas blooper reel
