Nate, I loved watching your work. I really could have done without the dance music. I know you young people love whatever this is called now, but whether it’s trance or rave, it just makes me and mine more anxious when mixed with the time lapse. I don’t think it serves your purpose as well as you would hope.
As an amateur you did a very professional job. Your "can do" approach served you very well saving the barn plus a hefty sum of money. Thx for filming this and sharing it.
I admire your focus, determination and pure grit in this project, well done! The out the door is priceless and will make that outdoor patio the ideal location for one's morning coffee, or two, or three.... You are indeed a master carpenter/electrician and stone mason.
Absolutely outstanding and inspirational. That was an enormous amount of hard labour, but the outcome is spectacular. Congratulations on such a great job and continued success to you!
You are certainly admirable to take all this on by yourself ! And you are very knowledgeable, yes you are! Congrats! I hope you’re proud of yourself, you should be.🌹🌹🌹
That was a lot of concrete to move by hand without help. I see concrete work like that on a project and I’ll just nope out of it. My attention to detail in getting the door way, window, and floors even and level would not have been there after the first day of shoveling! Congrats to you it looks good!
Wow, great job. As a Canadian, I really work more in wood (decks/framing)..I know very little about stone/brick/masonry...and as a DIYer, find it a bit intimidating. Loved watching this.
You did an amazing job. This was no easy task with the removal of all the old stonewalls, concrete floor and more. The stone and concrete work alone can be back breaking for just one man. Then you did a ten week finish which is amazing. Did you do all the work alone ?
Thanks! Yes, I did this one alone. There was nothing very big and heavy to need help! (Apart from carrying in plasterboard to the site, def need two people for that).
I would not know where to start but many people are doing this all over the world and keeping our heritages intact even if modified, great job i would love to help on a project like this just to learn some thing new
Rocks and concrete don’t mix well together because the concrete accumulates water and eventually deteriorates the rocks into dust (specially with freeze and frost)
Hi Nate, what a transformation, I hope you have footage of your house renovation as well. You have the same interests as I do, the campervan, Italian house and then I saw you pick a purple fig lol, my favourite. I'm about to look into moving to Italy next year hopefully to renovate something too. I am from South Africa but I have an Italian passport and I'm not getting younger. Great to see what you have done, your place looks amazing. Hopefully you'll be posting more. Cheers from Cape Town.👍
Nice man! Cape Town... also a very beautiful place. Yeah, the rest of the reno can be found in this video: ruclips.net/video/jykPwcBtML8/видео.htmlsi=69kZjy5BSjvIoRXe
Being a basement, I would have used an anti-mold solution to spray on the walls and floors, and ceiling, before you started anything. I have found mold under tiles after years, and it was very unpleasant, this is why I treat the moist rooms with it first. Besides that, you did a fantastic job !
Love these compilations! Apartment looks great! How do you push through a long solo project when fatigue sets in? Do you just grit your teeth and power through or do you have some tips you can share?
Thanks for the comment! Mostly I just push through. I don't massively love spending my days covered in dust so the sooner it's finished the better 😅... The only way over is through.
Check the upstairs.. this was a basement reno (although I could put a kitchen in the store room if I wanted to make it a self contained appartment). ruclips.net/video/jykPwcBtML8/видео.html&ab_channel=NateMurphy
Superb job in just 10 weeks Nate! It's mad to think what that would cost if a team of renovators had done it, pretty far north of 10k I'm guessing. Will you be renting it out for short stays or just for friends and family only?
Thanks! For now, I will not be renting it out, but it is always an option (the store room would be quick to convert into a little kitchen if you wanted to turn it into a self-contained airbnb type thing. And yes, it would have probably cost something like 40 to 50k if I had paid for it all to be done. Well worth the graft just to save the money!
Wouldn't it have been better for the heat balance to put additional an insulating layer towards the floor? I noticed that only a concrete floor was poured here without any reinforcing steel. Wouldn't that mean that the concrete would crack and possibly even break?
It's pretty stable ground (existing slab) so not really an issue re reinforcement. There was 1cm of insulation put down before the UFH I didn't want to lose too much height.
Radiator is coming of the backboiler in the floor above. UFH is for stand-alone heating/additional if required. See this film for the rest of the reno; ruclips.net/video/jykPwcBtML8/видео.html&ab_channel=NateMurphy
Why did you have to keep the old toilet hole? What prevented you from simply filling it in, then covering it over with the same floor covering used on the floor?
@@NateMurphy I'm Catalan, and when I saw the licence plate of the delivery truck, my curiosity made me find the house. Street view is from 2015, but it shows the hole where you poured the concrete mix in :D
Isn't asbestos removal a specialist job? Hacking it about surely allowed harmful particulates to be released into the atmosphere? You did a great job and I admire your reserves of energy.
Don't know if it is the case here, but sometimes when there are humidity problems holes like this are dug so that water collects there and then it can be easily pumpes out
Thanks for watching!

The views from your patio alone make it all worthwhile
Thanks Billy, I am inclined to agree!
I’ve never seen one person with so many talents and master them all……actually slay them all! So much creativity. Wow, just Wow!
Buggie..what kind words😂
Indeed 💪🏻
As an amateur you did a very professional job. Your "can do" approach served you very well saving the barn plus a hefty sum of money. Thx for filming this and sharing it.

Just Wow. Incredibly hard work and intense focus. Beautiful results! Congratulations my friend.

How absolutely beautiful ❤❤

The birdsong is so pleasant.
Props to you for wearing proper PPE. Except for the flip flops of course. Great job overall. Very impressive.
Yes...lucky he didn't hurt his toes...

Back breaking work! Wow that was a lot of hard labor for a beautiful outcome! Great build!
Love watching you do this stuff Nate. Cracking stuff mate!
Thanks Mark!
Thank you. Enjoyed your work and the beautiful area you live in.
Thanks Robert!
Amazing transformation, and you did it yourself.
You are amazing ! Incredible job you have done 😮
Beautifully done.
Rocks and concrete don’t mix well together because the concrete accumulates water and eventually deteriorates the rocks into dust (specially with freeze and frost)
Thanks for sharing.
I don't think these rocks will turn to dust any time soon 🙂
Very nice Witherspoon hard work❤
Thanks 😁

Fantastic job on that renovations!
A lot of work, but the results are beautiful and amazing. ❤
Wow! Fantastic job!
Thank you so much!!
Loving the DNB vibes!
Be still my heart♥️ God has given you many skills, creativity, knowledge of beauty……. Bless your new ‘home’!🙏🏻🎈
Mind blown that he did this beautiful work solo. AND….in flip-flops! What?
I'm curious why you left the hole in the floor, tiled it, and put a door on it.
I think it was a talking point - an historical feature he decided to keep. Considering its depth, it could become a wine cooler.
Not a bad idea re. wine cooler.. As you said, its a cool historical feature, and never delete good storage in a small house!
thats content i came for years ago :) love that u r protecting yourself with masks etc. nice job :)
Thanks for tuning back in! :))
Wow great job 😁👍💚
You’ve done a really lovely job 🥰
thanks susan!
Incredible job!
Sorry but what is the old toilet hole used for now?
Lovely!!! Could be a little AirB&B !!! I’d definitely stay just for the views
Wow, so dreamy, well done!
Thanks Kelly
Fantastic job. Congrats !!
Fabulous. That was hard work. Wear eye protection too.
Great job! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙
looks great - wow 👍
bravo, tres bel reussite beau travaille, tu as bosser tous SEUL? force et honneure , merci
oui, je l'ai fait celui-là seul ! Merci!
Very beautiful!🥰🇨🇦
Thanks Marilyn
Did I miss what the hole in the floor is for?
Being a basement, I would have used an anti-mold solution to spray on the walls and floors, and ceiling, before you started anything. I have found mold under tiles after years, and it was very unpleasant, this is why I treat the moist rooms with it first. Besides that, you did a fantastic job !
There you have it….straight from an actual basement….
you did a well done jobe. my complyments
Very nice! Wow!
Incredible work
Thanks!
No rebar in the concrete?
Always wonder why they don’t use reo in their slabs overseas. We put it in everything in Aus.
Nate, are you going to revise your ebook of the renovation and add this part of the work?
Love these compilations! Apartment looks great!
How do you push through a long solo project when fatigue sets in? Do you just grit your teeth and power through or do you have some tips you can share?
Thanks for the comment!
Mostly I just push through. I don't massively love spending my days covered in dust so the sooner it's finished the better 😅... The only way over is through.
Lovely!
I didn't see any vapor barrier on the walls where you put up the plaster walls with isolation. did i miss it?
Not really required here.
Very beautiful! I just wonder there wasn't kitchen at all?
Check the upstairs.. this was a basement reno (although I could put a kitchen in the store room if I wanted to make it a self contained appartment). ruclips.net/video/jykPwcBtML8/видео.html&ab_channel=NateMurphy
Amazing
Whats the hole in the floor for?
See the tour; ruclips.net/video/wScOgtmu5jc/видео.html
15:23 wine window!
Superb job in just 10 weeks Nate! It's mad to think what that would cost if a team of renovators had done it, pretty far north of 10k I'm guessing. Will you be renting it out for short stays or just for friends and family only?

You need a jack hammer, it would be much easier and quicker than a sledge hammer.
What was the hole in the floor for? They one you put tiles and a lid ? I didn’t understood.
Check the tour video: ruclips.net/video/wScOgtmu5jc/видео.html
Never seen anyone bust and pour concrete in flops!
What is the hole?
Wouldn't it have been better for the heat balance to put additional an insulating layer towards the floor?
I noticed that only a concrete floor was poured here without any reinforcing steel.
Wouldn't that mean that the concrete would crack and possibly even break?
It's pretty stable ground (existing slab) so not really an issue re reinforcement.
There was 1cm of insulation put down before the UFH I didn't want to lose too much height.
I'm confused. You have underfloor heating throughout, but a radiator near the "hole" and in the bathroom. Can you explain?
Radiator is coming of the backboiler in the floor above. UFH is for stand-alone heating/additional if required. See this film for the rest of the reno; ruclips.net/video/jykPwcBtML8/видео.html&ab_channel=NateMurphy
I've read your book..😊
Oh thanks so much! I hope you enjoyed it!! ❤️❤️❤️
Anyone knows where this is?
Why did you have to keep the old toilet hole? What prevented you from simply filling it in, then covering it over with the same floor covering used on the floor?
Just seems a waste to lose potential storage space, and I like the echo of the history :)
where did the plumbing rough in come from?
the plumbing rough?
respect....
W jakim kraju są tak piękne góry..?
Pozdrawiam
why dont you like rockwool ?
the whole breathing in thing
@NateMurphy just gotto handle it right and ull be good... its still the best material for walls tho
No te salio mas caro que haber hecho una nueva?
thank god you had a concrete mixer..the floors could have taken days to finish and been a ton of work without it 😂
Is this property in the Dolomites region?
No, it is in Catalunya
Que cidade é essa???
La mejor ... (cerca de Organya)
what happened to the 240 year old door?!!!??
The plan is to use it as a shutter. But it's sitting in the barn right now 😅
Beautiful 🎉 but I gotta say watching you break up all that concrete in flip flops 🩴was giving me anxiety 😓
It makes you careful! 🙂
The name of my next band:
Flip Flops and Sledgehammers
So beautiful! Where is this?
Catalunya, a couple hours north of Barcelona in the Pyrenees.
@@NateMurphy I'm Catalan, and when I saw the licence plate of the delivery truck, my curiosity made me find the house. Street view is from 2015, but it shows the hole where you poured the concrete mix in :D
Where does the waste go?
In to the main sewer via a macerator pump (below ground issues)
Isn't asbestos removal a specialist job? Hacking it about surely allowed harmful particulates to be released into the atmosphere? You did a great job and I admire your reserves of energy.
It is specialist if you have deep pockets. Otherwise, sensible precautions will do the job. Thanks for the kind comment :))
Begs the question: What is in the drop-toilet hole now?
Actually, nothing.. but I am sure we will find a use for it at some point! :D
@@NateMurphyLooks like a great potential wine cellar.
Don't know if it is the case here, but sometimes when there are humidity problems holes like this are dug so that water collects there and then it can be easily pumpes out
What part of the world are you in?
Catalunya!
