Fascinating seeing what's underneath the floor boards. How things were put together and what was used. And how it stood the test of time for so long. It'll be nice to get it all cleaned out and properly insulated. Loving this! Happy New Year Marcus. May 2024 be an abundant year for you.
7:56 - if you'd use the needle nose plyers to hold the nail in place, things would go easier .. just a tip 😉 BTW the sawdust from under the floor is really good stuff for a composting toilet .. no need to throw it away. All the best for the upcoming new 2024 .. stay safe and well .. see you soon!! ✌
Your window panes are coming along nicely. Even in these early stages, you have a good sense of how to angle the putty. Have you tried making the putty into a snake like shape before you press it into the frame? It's faster than dabbing many times and leaves no gaps. And to finish the surface of the putty once it's as smooth as you can get it with the putty knife, you can wet your finger just slightly, gently draw it along the length of the putty, and do the final smoothing that way. Not only does it look good, but will last longer (no holes for ice/water to get into, and expand and contract with the cold and heat). Also, they must have those little metal tabs where you are (or you could order them online), for holding the glass into the frame. Instead of a tiny thin nail, these are small flat pieces of metal (about one centimeter wide) that have a right angle at one end and a point at the other. You can usually push them into the frame with a putty knife, parallel to the glass, so no hammer involved. Or if the wood of the frame is too hard for that, you can tap on the putty knife with a small hammer. And they're much easier than the tiny nails to remove if you need to. I'm so impressed with your restoring the windows - they will keep the original character of the house. Well done!
Your 'cabin' is better built than modern houses and I trust it more as it is than a finished new build by far. The size of your floorboards, terrific!! They will last you forever and 2 days. I'm positive that as you continue working that what to do with spaces, such as in the barn, will reveal the purpose and need to you. I'm a stickler for house first, the only thing that would make me sway is to get buildings, like your guest house, to make it safe and not in danger of further deterioration, then back to the house. Not necessarily to completely finish the house but enough that it's comfortable, 4 season livable and anything left is merely cosmetic. When we did my place my motto was 'we don't live in the shop'. So glad you bought it as someone who is cherishinv & respecting what it is, how old it is and what it has to offer rather than someone who wants to rip everything out BECAUSE it's old. I couldn't stand to watch that.
It is interesting to see the step by step renovaton of your house. We learn a lot from it and i hope you continue to produce these videos so we can see the progress. I am also interested in seeing the final transformation of the house and how you decorate your house. I also realize how much work it all is but in the end when it is finished (which it is still some time away) you ll be so proud of what you did. All the best
You really lucked out with this Swedish minimalism that you have only 2 large panes to fix. Here in the US we have 6-8 small panes on top and one large in the bottom. Insane amount of work to fix those😀
Depending on how far the drive is, you could easily keep the charge up with your trip to and from the cabin. Will also be great getting power to areas outside for the odd jobs. Great to have, coming from South Africa with daily power outages I know.👍
For me you made it look easy, I have done this year ago and I didn't get it so neat. Great job using what you have, you can't always have every tool specific to everything you'll be encountering on your renovation.👍
Great 1st attempt at glazing windows! I guess they don't have window points there? Wouldn't all those wood shavings be great to use in landscaping/walkways?
You did a fantastic job on glazing that window! Commenters are correct, hold the nail with needled nose pliers, it makes it easier. Can't wait to see more progress. Happy New Year!
In America we use glazing points. You push them in with your putty knife so you don’t accidentally break the glass. Although it does happen if you use too much pressure. I love the old wood windows. So many here pull them out and add those vinyl ones. Happy New Year!
Om du får mer bös över framöver och vill odla så är det perfekt att fylla ut bäddar med! Skönt ändå att ha en husgrund, det är mer än vi har just nu :D
Idea for under stairs... I would use it as a coat closet and for any flow over from kitchen for big gadgets or those screwdrivers and such you always seem to need in a house. There are never enough closet space. You may have addressed it after the chapter I'm watching, I'm catching up with s9me b8nge watching! Love that whole place so much!
Happy New year to you and your family too Marcus ! Let's hope that many video's may follow. I was kind of curious, is there any wildlife around your house? I only hear several birds.
Happy New Year to you and your family Marcus! Thank you for another very interesting video. What does the tattoo on your left hand finger that looks like an anchor mean? I've seen this on other people. Thanks.. From Phoenix AZ 🏜️❤
Det är inte så mycket plats i grunden, när isoleringen blir effektivare ökar risken för att utrymmet blir fuktigt. Skulle föreslå en typ av modern mullbänk med cellglas , efter du tagit bort spånet som ligger kvar fyller du bara med hasopor, på med lite lera som tätar i ytterkanterna och på hasoporen innan trägolvet läggs tillbaka. Trevliga videos, och grattis till ett så fint välbevarat hus!
Don't throw that saw dust in bin, this is great for compost and fire starter. Yes, maybe late comment, but still... Surelly it is under other rooms, so, for next time.
Jag tycker att du är grym och jag har följt dig sen du startade, men skulle det gå att få upp volymen på dina videos lite mer? Alla videos är på så låg volym hittills och det hade varit toppen om du fick upp det till en normal nivå!
Hello Marcus just curious what winter preparations you make for your Renault kangoo Snow tyres with metal studs or snow chains Stronger strength Antifreeze Pre heater for the van cheers
Perfect portable for a bedroom (with a closed door) to use a small heater during the night for sleeping!
Fascinating seeing what's underneath the floor boards. How things were put together and what was used. And how it stood the test of time for so long. It'll be nice to get it all cleaned out and properly insulated. Loving this! Happy New Year Marcus. May 2024 be an abundant year for you.
I wonder where he is taking the bags of dirt?

Exactly!
💕Best wishes to you & your family for an wonderfully amazing year in 2024💕
Keep up the good work. The first window might take a weekend, but the last window will take a few hours. The journey of learning.

Is that saw dust under the floor? That would be great to add to the gardens.

Happy new yr. if those were wood shavings you were sweeping up, they would be great much for the garden or great for the compost bin.
🎆A good Start for 2024💙thank you for you videos💪
Happy New Year - may 2024 bring you all you wish for 🎉🥂🍾
Depending on how far the drive is, you could easily keep the charge up with your trip to and from the cabin. Will also be great getting power to areas outside for the odd jobs. Great to have, coming from South Africa with daily power outages I know.👍
It’s only 30 min so we’ll see about that haha
Wonderful progress! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, a lot of work,but it's worth it.
Markus, Laimīgu JAUNO 2024 gadu.
Great work. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Marcus🎉🎉🎉
I admire your patience and expertise. Happy new year🍀🍾
So glad you are back. Hope your Holidays were good.👍

You are doing a fantastic job, and don't ever give up. You learn as you go many blessings and keep safe, can't wait to see what next steps 🙏
Thank you!
Gott nytt år 👍🏻
Let me guess that licking a different fingertip every time was a lesson learned, a bitter one.😂
HAPPY🎉🎊HAPPY🎉🎊 NEW YEAR 2024🇬🇧 🍾🍸
Great progress Marcus and I hope 2024 is a great year for you and all the viewers. 💙💛
Gott Nytt År! 👍🏼 Jag behöver kitta om glasen i mina altandörrar så jättebra att få se dig göra ditt fönster! ☺
The colours on the walls and door frames in your kitchen looks very similar to something I found in a building from the thirties on my parents farm.👍

Gott Nytt År från Skåne! 🥂
Ser fram emot att få se dina framsteg med stugan och hur naturen runt den lever upp när våren kommer! Ha det gott!
Happy New year to you and your family too Marcus ! Let's hope that many video's may follow. I was kind of curious, is there any wildlife around your house? I only hear several birds.
Spennende og følge med på denne jobben du gjør med dette gamle fine huset ditt! Godt nytt år til deg.
Happy New Year to you and your family Marcus! Thank you for another very interesting video. What does the tattoo on your left hand finger that looks like an anchor mean? I've seen this on other people. Thanks..

I was watching Life of Ryan and he had dirt under his tiles, now you have sawdust under your floorboards. I wonder what the next video will find?
Happy Newyear from Ireland 🍀🇮🇪⚒️🍻🤟🛠️😊
Happy New Year
Gott nytt år! Ser framemot att följa dig nästa år också!
Godt nytår fra Danmark 🍀
Gott nytt år! ✨️

Are you able to use closed cell foam insulation? You would have a higher R-value, with less thickness. And it's waterproof.
Can you say again why you're taking the floor up ? Thanks
I’m doing it to insulate it properly and to check what was under there
Köp en kittkniv på biltema 40kr så mycket lättare
Kämpa på!!
Så du kämpar
Don't throw that saw dust in bin, this is great for compost and fire starter. Yes, maybe late comment, but still... Surelly it is under other rooms, so, for next time.
Thanks! Maybe I’ll keep some from the living room and use it in the compost

Hello Marcus just curious what winter preparations you make for your Renault kangoo
Snow tyres with metal studs or snow chains
Stronger strength Antifreeze
Pre heater for the van cheers
Hey! I only put on snow tyres with metal studs. Nothing else really
My back hurts just watching you do that. What is all that stuff and why was it there? Happy new year!
Its sawdust. Used to insulate, in old times. Suprisingly good insolation.
And there comes the sponsor video. Sigh ..
