Marion & Lewis its a fabulous job not easy, but nothing like enthusiastic helpers, takes the stress, load, and psychical effort off you both. The project is coming along nicely. Any renovation work has no set procedures, you have to adapt and innovate on every turn, which is stressful at any time. we’re with you, keep smiling 👍👍👍😆😆❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👷🏡
WOnderful job Marion and Lewis. I'm so happy that both halves of your house are now connected. It must feel like your home is now enormous. Just wait until you remove the original staircase from the first half of the house. The open staircase in the "barn" lightwell from the big skylight is going to be brilliant!
What a great video, and such good team work. I am always getting the materials estimates wrong, so can sympathise, I hope you built the door opening so it can fit one of those cheap doors you can get from the Brico, as a temporary door, to keep dust and cold at bay. Must admit I did that in our house for a certain area and strangely enough it was never upgraded to a proper door 🙂
You guys are doing a great work. I admire everybody that is working on their stone home. I do dream of having a stone home, but it won’t be a reality for me. It’s just the reality of what I’m how I’m living. With no income and everything, but without saying, I wish you’re the best and I enjoy your videos.
I agree on the statement, use of concrete is complex... my simplest explanation to people I talk to; concrete (cured) is a STONE. Like all stones of the world, I mean literally there so many stones; has their own 'beauty', advantages, exploits, flaws, cracking, shattering, abilities and other limitations. I like to keep concrete separate and use mortar to connect concrete block to stones. This way (is similar to bricks) allowing flexibility between stones and concrete (remembering and easier to say concrete is a stone).
I don t understand you made the lintel of wood instead of concrete due to the weight and structural strength above the lintel😢 But anyway to have a door between the Kirchen and the living room is of course a very good idea😊👍

I like your content and enjoy the videos, but I think the music is a bit much....the volume could be at lest turned down so it don’t drown out the narration.....just my opinion.
You can for some structural parts that need strength and do not need permeability. I renovated a derelict farmhouse 30 years ago and did exactly the same for an internal doorway. It has lasted just fine. Where you don't want it is as a mortar between the structural stones.
@@synicyst9925 That, and it also depends on the kind of stone. If the stone is very hard, like granite, you can absolutely use cement mortar because the stone is even harder than concrete and as impermeable. The general rule is that mortar should be slightly softer than the stone or brick. That's particularly important for pointing of walls exposed to the elements in freezing climates, less so for internal walls and renders (although cement render can cause damage too).
I love your channel but I am a bit disappointed. Old stones deserves old recipes. Cement and concrete have no permeability. Capillary forces will find their way, one way or the other. And will degrade other parts. Cement and concrete will not adapt to slight movements ; micro-earthquakes, natural or man made (big trucks passing nearby), drought (no rain) followed by humidity (rain) of the earth below the house bringing cracks, etc… whereas tones will adapt to these. And lime joints have some elasticity to absorb slight movements. Too late. I hope you will manage and not be disappointed in 20 years from now. Cheers.
It is only a small amount giving strength in an internal wall. I did the same to my old farmhouse I rebuilt 30 years ago and it has survived earthquakes of strength 4. I think this bit of concrete is the best solution for that particular problem.
Funny, isn't it that, even having had the situation CLEARLY explained to them......some people ALWAYS think they know better......'eugenie'.....!?!? ....do the words - overbearing, arrogant and egocentric mean anything to you....!!?!!?
@@andymccabe6712 no it means nothing to me. I would have loved reading your counterarguments and facts. I prefer @synicyst9925 comment since he offers his point of view with his experience. Yours just puts blame on me. Maybe this makes you happy. I think I have CLEARLY explained my reasoning. And I will stick to it though I have some sympathy with Synic’s comment.
Great job you deserve a treat so sent you 5 coffees enjoy. From the emerald isle.
Your heroic crew have done a bloody marvellous job.

You are getting very good, from New Zealand.
Maintenant pour La Porte!! 😁😁 looks great. Will be lovely when it’s all finished on both sides.
Nice work. Maybe an idea. You could dress up the doorway with a stone facade to make it look like it was always there. Hello from Canada!
A job well done, sometimes concrete is the right material to use and I think in this situation you made the right choice
Great result 👏
It was fortuitous that your helpers had their work clothes with them on their vacation. ❤
Just discovered your videos and have to say you have a great narrating voice and explain everything clearly. Top man !
Thanks
Thank you.
excellent
Keep going, you are both doing great!🎉❤🎉.
Looks great! Well done everyone
Thanks!
And thank you.
Best part of my week has arrived 👌🏻. I’m Loving this whole renovation!
Bonjour ce n'est pas complètement interdit d'ailleurs pour les dalles c'est conseillé sur hérisson.
Fantastic progress :)
Love your work. You narrating is so good. Calm and relaxed. Thanks However where is your PPE? Please do consider!!
congratulations for the whole work, the musical investment in the videos is amazing
Great progress, lovely to have friends to help out and give you all their knowledge 😊
Excellent job and great team work 🏴
What a team.
An audio mix master and now a concrete mix master. Maybe you should try your hand at cocktails next, Lewis. 😉
Good team! And such nice pictures of teh shadowman…. 👍
I so enjoy your content! Thoughtful, considered and deliberate.

Another great vid Lewis. Proper's to your better half!
Congratulations for your job 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Hello from Oregon, I'm enjoying your adventures.
I understand the choice for concrete, but I like the more natural materials. Keep up the good work and the progress that you make. And have fun.

Excellent musical selections, audio editing, transitions, time-lapse, just incredible quality in post!
Ha! Very clever bit with the radio
It is unbelievable that you have reached this point in the renovation! Well done!
Great job, that looks nice and strong, I see no issues with your plan.. 😊👍
Good Job , it is nice
Great job! Must be a great feeling to finally take those forms off and see what it looks like!
Good job!
Great help makes monumental tasks manageable! Well done!
Bravo. Quite the metaphor!
What great team work 😀 fabulous result too
Lovely. Great work!
WELL DONE
unity is strength. 🥰
Whopper jobs with great success 👍
Belle job :) pas si facile celle-la :O

Mixer should be cleaned every time with sponge and brush back to bare metal every time to prevent build up and 😂❤❤
Yeah.... but, only if you're anally retentive........!!!
I don t understand you made the lintel of wood instead of concrete due to the weight and structural strength above the lintel😢
But anyway to have a door between the Kirchen and the living room is of course a very good idea😊👍
The timber lintels are decorative. Above that they poured a structural concrete lintel to carry the weight.
Nice workflow. Soothing to watch 😊
Does the opening make the house cold or have you got an insulated panel/door to cover it ?

looks great!
Why did he not cut notches for the wood beam to go in the lintel so the wood in the forms and a put a small rebar cage in the form
👍
👏👏
❤❤👏👏👏
I’m really confused. I thought you couldn’t use or shouldn’t use concrete in stone buildings.?

Soo.... are you DEAF.....!?!?
I said......
He EXPLAINED in DETAIL WHY THEY USED CONCRETE.....!!!!!!!

Nice to see Marion getting stuck in, alot of the women just show up at the end when all the hard work is done.
OH NI you put music on when you talk , it is not good , do you really think it is more interesting for us
Well...... it's a LOT more interesting than hearing you criticise and whine about it.......!!
