A Renovation Story – AKA 18 Months in Damp House

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❤❤❤

You have a great sense of humour! Thanks for the update I'm trying to catch up on older videos! Well done both of You!

lmao home renovation video😭 I dig it ngl

I don't get it. Why the AI voice? I'm really interested in watching your videos but just talk as you did about 2:30 in. I spent the whole video praying you would come back and was about ready to slash my wrists by the end. Maybe i'm in the minority but I think more viewers would stick around if you did. GL either way and condolences for Poppy.

I like you already! The YouTube algorithm is really working for me right now, brought me here.

As to the helpful commentor who suggested, "bulldozer," all I can say to that is, "BORING!" No imagination. I'm all in with your grand exploration of the journey that is the destination. Couldn't agree more.

Renovations is not for the faint hearted, its three steps forward and two backwards, and so frustrating but with a bit of dedication, visualisations of the finish, it drives you onward congratulations, well done, and at the end of it all, you can say with pride, “we did that”😆😆😆👍👍👍👍👍🥂🥂🥂🥂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

I love watching what you do you are doing an awesome job keep up the good work cheers from Australia

❤❤ 👏👏👏 go on pls

Shame you didn't keep the stone roof

Sorry for your lost! I myself had to bury our cats one after the other. Charly was 22, Stink was 18 and their daughter Frida was with us for 17 years, that still moves me, sometimes I call her and then realize what I'm doing.

I like the way you speak, it's clear for non-native speakers. All the best and success in 2025

Try to sound at least a little enthusiastic my friend.

Hey, Youtube has finally graced us with your videos, lots to catch up on but always love finding others on a similar journey – and with great videos too! Best of luck for 2025

Bravo les amis. Vous etes une bel exemple de persévérence! Salutations du Canada

I miss Poppy. He was a lovely part of this story. Perhaps your next cat will be an indoor cat?

I highly recommend you listen to this on 1.25x speed. You’ll thank me later

Before You start the Proper Rebuild- look very carefully at the foundation followed by the roof!

Would be better with less or no talking so we can watch what’s happening for ourselves. Sounds like the voice over guy is talking at half speed

I think you are só funny❤

Beautiful video ❤

Great and honest reflection! Loved 'I spent my time talking to myself in the garden'. Keep up the good work!

The problem with such an old building is current ground level due to mud flooding and modern grade levels brought up to cover up the past original ground level.

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 ..❤❤

Just found the channel. Keep at it guys. RIP poppy!

A Renovation Story – AKA 18 Months in a Damp House chronicles the trials, triumphs, and transformations of tackling a long-term home renovation in a less-than-ideal living situation.

Excellent storytelling! Thank you.

Look at nigel copsey videos on hot lime mixes.
The best thing you can do is hot lime render/point the outside of your house. The more area of lime you have will accelerate moisture crossing outside to inside, and more importantly will stop most rain ingress through cracks. Can be done in stages, even a hot lime wash would massively help between now and doing it properly. Quick lime is cheap and your own labour is free.
Good luck

I'm so sorry about the loss of Poppy.

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.
😊

You’re living the dream. Aside from the garden creatures. Subscribed, looking forward to seeing it progress.

My god, those white plastic windows just hurt my eyes. 😢

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.

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

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.

You should have put in mullioned windows again!

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.
