    When you scrape the plaster across the brick, the youtube captions say [Applause]. Yes, we do. 😄
    I'm not sure what it is about watching people repurpose old buildings that so many of us find so fascinating, but I'm here for it. Cheering you on from across the pond!

    When my wife and I moved it to our 1st home back in 1983, like your Coach House it was also a wreck. All the wiring, pipework and water heating was original to when the house was built in 1928.We later found out it was the builder's last house in the area, he must have used everything he had left. Some of the internal walls were just large pebbles covered with straw and horse hair plaster, the people before us had removed a downstairs toilet and just covered the drain with a piece of slate. It took us months to get rid of the slugs. So I understand everything you're going through, because we've done it. Apart from that if fitting a spiral staircase, which I wanted but got out voted by she who must be obeyed. I really like the use of lime plaster, it's so suitable for that building. 👍👍

    Brilliant. It is so refreshing seeing someone restoring their unusual home with practical solutions and having a go - sometimews with old techniques sometimes new!
    You have the luxury of space and completing the work at your own pace.
    I don't have a problem with your electrics, looks quite safe to me - my background 2000 volt marine radio transmitters.
    Protecting eyes, ears, lungs and being careful with fingers vs rotating blades is more important.

    Love your video’s. Because your way of telling the story is really laid back. Like the way you use traditional ways of building and make it looks easy. Most of all like the patina look of things. It looks old, but is well thought out. Great watch. Hope you’ll get lots and lots of subscribers.

    With Jobs, I always find the first 10% and the last finishing 10% take the longest. Once you get a system, and get into the swing of it, doing the bulk work will be much, much quicker. For example having all the insulation ready to go, theh having just one person mixing or attaching the buckets to the winch, then you remove it can all save a ton of time.

    Question if that insulator is just wood pulp board, lime mortar on each side, which is breathable, what is to prevent the wood pulp board from going to mush? Did I miss a moisture barrier somewhere? Video quality noticed. So far enjoying the ride along.

I'm amazed at how much work you have done upto date. I was wondering did you not consider using Pex tubing instead of copper.

    I would be tempted to put vertical beams at the walls supporting the horizontal beams, and digging out the floor downstairs and put in oak beams or metal girders and having the vertical beams resting on that, the exterior walls I would staple and wall plate to the vertical beams, that brick structure is not filling me with confidence apart from that happy new year and I have binged watched thank you

      @bockersjv 4 дня назад +1

      I thought the brackets were there because he was unsure of the state of the beams within the wall pocket? At least he knows the brackets are attached to a solid part of the beam.

    • @theroundcorner
      @theroundcorner  3 дня назад +3

      The brackets are to tie the beam into the wall, for lateral strength. On one of the tie beams the wall has moved outward nearly 1 inch, I’m hoping the re-roof in conjunction with the new wall ties should alleviate the problem.

    You have quite a soft voice and from time to time it’s hard to hear what you’re saying.
    Consider (buying &) using a clip on microphone. It will help us hear you when you are facing away from the camera or if there’s background noise.
    Keep up the good work though!

    It is important to remember that when you are removing lead paint you inevitably get some on your fingers, and then you touch your lips, and you have lead going into your mouth. Your body cannot discern between lead and calcium, so some of it gets stored in your bones.
