I really like watching Illia work. He has some great ideas and it's always interesting to see how he fixes problems he comes across. I like the wood stove recessed into the wall. Thanks for sharing
Great job, you’re very good at brick laying now Illia. Funny video with the whoh-whaa! The original wood stove is very stylish. I like it very much. Glad to see it all working and warming Anneke.
I always look forward to your videos. In English, a wooden stove is a stove constructed from wood. A wood stove is a stove that burns wood. Your English is doing so well, I wanted to give you that little tip. Former ESL teacher. LOL
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((mhhf
The Inspector surely approves! I am very impressed with your relentless attention to detail and drive to complete the project. It looks amazing. Merry Christmas to you all. Enjoy your new stove.

You are doing a remarkable job of the renovation and I enjoy watching all your content. Merry Christmas and a fulfilling and productive New Year to you both.
You are now looking back on some of the toughest jobs! From here going forward should feel a wee bit easier. Thank you for bringing us along to encourage us all that hard work is it's own reward. Rest and enjoy your holidays. Merry Christmas 🤗❤️🌈🙏🕊️💙💛🕯️
I saw your content on tick tock, someone else stole your content and was flogging it off as their own content. Don’t worry I have your back, I told every person who commented that this content was stolen, all 100 of them. I told the content creator that he stole this content from you guys and he is a liar! He would be completely humiliated.
I've done the same thing to the content of Erik Vanquist that was stolen. Every last commenter was told it was stolen content; the uploader was a thief of intellectual property rights.
This classic old farm house, the barn, and other buildings are amazing; but even more amazing are the two of you! You both work at outside jobs in very technical fields and you are raising two children (who need and get your attention), and yet still you have energy and vision - and patience - to continue moving ahead on this construction. Wow! The lovely future you are crafting is well deserved. I just hope you take time off for your family and the two of you enough to avoid burnout.
I think you need to design and patten a cover for cement mixers that limits the amount of particulates reaching the operator. Your bag and band method is outstanding. When I see small food containers with pop on lids I think of your mixer. A large plastic lid that seals the mixer while mixing, that easily snaps on to standard sized models and possibly one that has an easy open/close mechanism that lets you look at your mortar and/or add more material. Easy. With your design skills it will be a huge success.
Just spent the last 4 days in Belgium. Staying in Brussels, but we did daytrips to Mechelen, Leuven and Antwerp. With all this rainy weather, it is amazing all the work you get done.😊
That was some record speed on the brick laying. I'm always impressed at how talented you are with all of the trades. Cannot wait to see what you do next. Also, just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas this year.
I am impressed at how much work you do. Most of it will never be seen in the finished renovation but was absolutely necessary to make your house structurally sound and to conform to current building requirements. I admire your commitment and work ethic regarding renovating your farm house.
Félicitations pour cet excellent travail, vous serez récompensé quand vous pourrez vous assoir devant votre poêle. Anneke est tellement heureuse d’avoir un peu de chaleur. Bonnes fêtes de fin d’année. 🎄
Congratulations!!! I remember when you began your chimney saga years ago. Your ingenuity and work ethic is admirable. All that you two have accomplished is incredible! 👏👏👏👏👏
This is so exciting! How wonderful to know that you will be able to maintain and handle any issues with your home from here on out! Ilya needs to be certified as a mason, carpenter, electrician and plumber! He can do almost anything! Merry Christmas to your entire family!
My mother used a lot of vermiculite in her garden work. Then we discovered that vermiculite sold in the USA contained asbestos. We haven't used vermiculite for many years now.
Thank you for this thoughtful and entertaining video, in happy for you that you’ve crowned the three years of chimney story in time for Christmas this year.
I understand the reason for putting insulation around the vents. But that seems likely to reduce the efficiency of the fire place. In the original configuration, heat from the exhaust fumes would be absorbed by the bricks and further heat the house. Are modern fire place stoves more efficient to make up for that. As always, its great to see the progress thats being made.
Day two of the Chimney Challenge. Illia you are funny. Looks really nice. You always clean up and get on to the next project. Can't wait for flooring upstairs. Wishing you and your family a Blessed and Merry Christmas and very Happy New Year 2025.
A big time achievement. You still have a long ways to go. You appear tired. Why not take some time off, sleep, get a change of scenery, and come back refreshed. We won't desert you. Happy Holidays from our family to yours. 👍👍👍
That chimney you just completed is beautiful. I'm sure as picky as you are there will be some additional work, but man I am so impressed with it. Such an ordeal you have been through after purchasing a house with a "usable chimney"! However, in your house, as in my house, if the inspector is happy then all is well. Have a wonderful and warm Christmas if you can. It's been a bit nippy here in Idaho, but we are fortunate for it could be worse.
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((fjn
What a milestone to have all that done finally! You are both very clever and skilled with your hands to have learned so many new things while you have been renovating, well done!
You must providefor a cleanout of your new flue liner to deal with soot buildup as well as the ability to chimney sweep your chimney flue. Ash and soot will buildup and potentially cause a chimney fire.
hand made bricks, Illya.You have some makers marks. They were paid by the brick so tagged their products. but often a thumbprint. Or unique cipher. And great videos guys...
Merry Christmas from Northern Ontario Canada. We enjoy your videos very much and admire your positive attitude and tireless effort! May you and your family have a blessed and peaceful New Year.
Mrs De Hoeve, I love how when he starts the upstairs diagonal, the music suddenly becomes dubious as if you are commenting on what he's doing. You are his missus, so that's inevitable! I am surprised that during the winter months you are not doing more to make the interior livable as you could probably fit your entire mobile home inside the square footage of the workshop with space left over for your extensive workwear collection! Бажаю вам і вашим близьким щасливого Різдва і щиро сподіваюся, що ви запам’ятаєте частину новорічної ночі! (Якщо це не має сенсу, вибачте, і ви можете звинуватити Google Translate)
In the Netherlands 🇳🇱 we discourage the woodburner. Its because of the people who have the disease COPD. They hardly can breath because of the smoke coming out of the pipes. In some citys its not allowed to use a wood stove/ woodburner.
Merry Christmas and have a Joyous New Years. So happy the chimmy is finished and will help keep you warmer as you continue with the restoration. You have done an amazing job to this point. An American saying Pat yourself on the back! M Tucson Az
The inspector need a comfy cat bed for Christmas, one that has a little roof and walls with a small opening facing the stove. Cat heaven!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. May it be blessed with much joy, peace, and laughter.
I really like watching Illia work. He has some great ideas and it's always interesting to see how he fixes problems he comes across.
I like the wood stove recessed into the wall.

De schouw zal nooit verslijten, die blijft voor altijd. Mooi werk👍
I like the chimney renovation, perseverance shows in your work.😊 May you and your family have a blessed holiday.
Great job, you’re very good at brick laying now Illia. Funny video with the whoh-whaa! The original wood stove is very stylish. I like it very much. Glad to see it all working and warming Anneke.
Wow that took a lot of effort but you will really appreciate having kept it as a working heat source. Great work.
Such a lovely wood burner! All that labor for such a beautiful fireplace. Definitely cat approved.
I always look forward to your videos. In English, a wooden stove is a stove constructed from wood. A wood stove is a stove that burns wood. Your English is doing so well, I wanted to give you that little tip. Former ESL teacher. LOL
You two are truly incredible, such a committed undertaking with this home. Its been a real experience following your channel.
Excellent work, the inspector approves! ❤️🧱❤️🔥🐈⬛❤️

@@maruiacancerngSo so sorry to hear that. Hope you have a good recovery.
Chimney looks great…Illia does great work ! Love the mortar music!
The chimney was a mangled mess! Incredible job making it functional and beautiful
Love your hard work...looks fabo...and the music is great!!!♡♡♡
Merry Christmas to all of you! We want to see you two trying more new beers!

Love that you are making the living conditions better for the inspector.
I am very impressed with your solutions to your chimney problems.

@13:54. Look at that beautiful brickwork 😻❤️

What a massive work Ilia ! King of extimation 😂
Love that idea to place a plastic bag over the mixer. Have a great Christmas and a peaceful new year
I would advise, place a heatpump and floor heating. Fill up the chimney.
I think you need to design and patten a cover for cement mixers that limits the amount of particulates reaching the operator. Your bag and band method is outstanding. When I see small food containers with pop on lids I think of your mixer. A large plastic lid that seals the mixer while mixing, that easily snaps on to standard sized models and possibly one that has an easy open/close mechanism that lets you look at your mortar and/or add more material. Easy. With your design skills it will be a huge success.
Merry Christmas to all & you have amazing skills !
Quedó bellísimo 🎉🎉🎉🎉 saludos desde argentina rosario
The cat need to look if everthing is done ok lol , have a merry christmas to you and your family 🌲
Наснаги вам,мої любі українці!!!Пишаюся вами.З повагою.
You do best chimney I have seen. Once in my familys home was so terrible, that smoke came in.
Merry Christmas to You Guys…….. have a good one…… cheers from Oz 🇦🇺🥰
All of that work carefully knocking down walls, saving bricks and then cleaning them and carrying them up ladders and steep stairways has paid off.
Just spent the last 4 days in Belgium. Staying in Brussels, but we did daytrips to Mechelen, Leuven and Antwerp. With all this rainy weather, it is amazing all the work you get done.😊
Hello. Very, very great job, and very good video!!. Congratulations.
Well worth all the effort! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to your family.
You have become an excellent bricklayer! It is very smart to save all the old bricks you saved from taking down the other buildings and walls.
That was some record speed on the brick laying. I'm always impressed at how talented you are with all of the trades. Cannot wait to see what you do next. Also, just wanted to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas this year.
Absolutely, his talents show in his work. Hes very patient.

Big job. Glad to watch it all. It took a long time to finish.
One more thing ticked off the list and one step closer. You did a great job. Різдвом христовим!
Wow, huge job finally done. Well done. Best wishes for the season and new year❤️🙏🙂🎄
I loved this video, super I had a misfortune, I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I also created a channel and am trying to move in that direction, but so far not very successful((fjn
Yay! Another milestone accomplished and just in time for Christmas!
On this brick is the Masonic symbol and initials of the masons who worked on this house.
@21:36 It sure is a milestone. It has been a job done with the right decisions made, well done!👴👌
I wondered how you would fix those chimneys. They seemed too small to fix but you solved the problem.
Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🎄 🇨🇦
You are multitalented , o! The skills you have, your work is so neat, I like your wife she is so sweet.
What a milestone to have all that done finally! You are both very clever and skilled with your hands to have learned so many new things while you have been renovating, well done!
Awesome. Merry Christmas!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🎄🎄🙏🙏 Oh how clever of you to attach a cover on the concrete mixer to reduce the dust!!! I've not seen that before. Good on you 👍
Merry Christmas to you and your family!🎄❄️
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️
Good use of “Like and subscribe”!
щасливого та мирного Різдва 🇺🇦
Looks not bad!
Merry Christmas to You Two Energizer Bunnies, and your Chief Inspector who is very pleased with the new chimney, and, her wood burning stove........
In America we call that special insulation Vermiculite. It's great stuff.
So well done!
🙋 Great job 👍
Looks amazing! Merry Christmas! Hope there’s a gift for Anneke under the tree!❤🐈⬛❤
You must providefor a cleanout of your new flue liner to deal with soot buildup as well as the ability to chimney sweep your chimney flue. Ash and soot will buildup and potentially cause a chimney fire.
Phenomenal ! Great work ! 👍😊💗
Don't forget to install some carbon monoxide detectors just in case
I completely understand your statement about being on the 5th day of your 2 day project, I have the same estimating power on my projects.
Love the music when you were doing the chimney!
Beautiful brickwork! Blessings to your family & Merry Christmas!
Also wanted to wish you guys are very merry Christmas from Iowa USA. You guys are awesome
Gr8 technology they have for chimneys these days.
hand made bricks, Illya.You have some makers marks. They were paid by the brick so tagged their products. but often a thumbprint. Or unique cipher. And great videos guys...
Wow, you did a good job, as always... You work so hard... Thanks for the video. Mary christmas ❤
