I just jumped into this series by watching the video about replacing the walls. I’ve come to start from the beginning. I think the line you say at the 2 minute mark should be engraved in something and displayed in the home when you are all finished. “Everything is pretty restorable, because nothing is really messed up”
I also looked at the latest episodes first and this after those. That engraved plaque would be perfect :D
I am 75 years old, and I watch every one of your videos. This one took me back to my first old house that I was so excited to own. I can tell by your happy face that you feel what I did fifty years ago. I am elated with joy for you, my friend!!! Well done!!
The owners left it clean regardless of it being old. What a gem, this house is going to be beautiful when it finished.❤️🇬🇧
Whenever I'm struggling with a project, I'm heading over to this series to remind myself that everyone goes through the same phases. Excitement, bottomless hole of additional workload no one was expecting, procrastination, frustration, re-motivation and the same thing all over again. Thank you for taking us along! Love the house.
Be careful with asbestos, Laura. Those Eternit shingles on the outside certainly contain asbestos, also the flooring or the glue might contain some. Before you start tearing down things you should get some expert advice!
Ya definite need an inspector to clear each type of material with lab analysis for asbestos crystals before demo.
Don’t worry she is in Germany. There are rules for how to follow the rules while following rules.
Oh I’m sorry I’m taking it back. Now that I see what she did at 3:25 😮 Laura please be cautious. Start with talking to Festool, they should send you a H vacuum and please use it all around the house while tearing things down. 😊
this!! also already sorry for her cause getting experts to clean out the asbestos is crazy expensive but you are by law not allowed to do it yourself (for good reason)
Also check on lead paint etc.
@@mahmut123456 yep its this TRGS "519" also need to check in with the "DGUV Information 201-012 (bisher: BGI 664)". German Wikepedia has a good article on it also with a list of where it was used.
Personally I would reccoment just leaving it as it is from the outside. It's only harmful when damaged or handled and still is a super weather resistant material.
Me and Taylor are so happy for you!! looking forward to watching the series xoxo
❤️❤️❤️
From tiny homes on wheels to a tiny home!
I love old houses, they have soul .
It is gonna cost a lot of money to restore, We did it as well with a house from 1903.
Free tip don’t work at more then 2 rooms at ones, or else it will become overwhelming. And you’ll live in chaos for the next 10 years
If you need advice you could check with Rinoa, she's been restoring a 1925 house: ruclips.net/p/PLyjfBfFp2v2pZNXRWezot_q-NikH5VKh_

My house is also 120, coming next year. It was built in 1903. The horrible insulation on the outside are asbestos tiles! My house has them as well. It is going to be a pain in the "You know what" to have those removed, because spezial precausion methods have to be considered and by german law these tiles are hazardous waste which needs to be dealt with in a special way. Good luck with your mammoth project and greetings from Rose Cottage, Schurwald Forest, Germany. 😊 💖
I was thinking "lucky my house isn't 120 years old" then I saw you commend. My house, and the entire neighborhood, is from 1904.
I just forgot is was already 2022 😅
California architect. Am so glad you found something. The first thing I noticed is the roof which look simple and durable and watertight. That can be the most important to look at first. Hopefully the flashing at the chimney was done well also. The tile floor at the entry is great too and long lasting. Also make sure the skylight flashing does not leak. Maybe have a professional roof person inspect things. Just to make sure you do not have problems later. Old houses if they have good roofs, can last a very long time. But even small leaks can lead to big problems over time. It all happens very quietly and out of sight. All the best to you.
Excellent suggestions!
@@Kathleen5429 I took on a similar sized project by myself decades ago, when I was about your age, I am very excited for you! One piece of advice: you will never be done, so learn to love the lifetime of learning. Also, an alarm went off when you were in the attic, and you picked up a folio from the top of that trunk. You said, "Hey, this is wet." Only once place that water comes from: a leak, so check it out!
Watching the follow-up videos now you were so right with your assessment!
Congratulations! Owning a home is an endless list of projects. You have content for the next 30 years.
Oof. So true.
Exactly. The first thing out of my mouth was: "'Laura just secured the future of her youtube channel."
Yes, and it's good. 🙏
Super cool! A lot of work, for sure, but very rewarding in the end! Be careful with the exterior cladding, if I'm not mistaken it's eternit or asbestos cement tiles. I'm not even sure you are allowed to handle it yourself, even with proper PPE :/
Yup, they might still be there because it's a "safe unless disturbed" situation. My father didn't wan't to "upgrade" his siding because the easiest route involved extra framing and a facade layer, which he thought was a bit silly
Yeah, I was going to say, I have been looking at houses that were built or renovated during the Asbestos era and this needs to be done professionally. And it's not cheap unfortunately.
I guess the same rules apply in Ge as in Sw. This means she can remove asbestos material herself but the recommendation is to use the same precautions as a professional would have to (dousing with water, PPE, etc).
@@skriuttutt this is what it's like in the UK. My entire garage roof is asbestos concrete 😭
Look who's there :) Most certainly the cladding is asbest (the lower part. The upper, dark part is slait). Many old houses like that, got a facelift with that stuff. And funny enough, we just removed the exact same plates from our House. Bought it in August 20, doing a full restauration and are planning on moving in this summer. In Germany you can remove Asbestos by yourselve BUT. There has to be someone who is trained in Handling asbestos supervising it. Also, you can just let it be done, shure. Also Asbestos doesnt have to be removed, "As long as it is in its designatet Lifetime" (don't know the propper translation). Howerver, it is forbidden to prolong said lifetime e.g. by painting it.
We bought something similar in Germany this year, 115 years old. We thought it had parquet but it turned out to be tile - on top of carpet! But upstairs, we've found the floor boards! So there's still hope for downstairs too.
Not sure how universal the old “who would you love to host at a dinner party” question is. But Laura has got to be one of the most interesting and inspiring people to grace the earth! Going to love to see what her next steps are!
Wow - looks great. Can't wait to see all the videos of you renovating and modernising your home. 👍( I assume you will converting most of it into a giant BBQ? 😋)
😂😂 the BBQ potential is endless!
@molegrip 38 -- Hey don't slight the campers. Let's just hope she doesn't want to burn it down in a couple of months. 😱
Me too!
Congratulations on the house! So much fun ahead in restoring it!! Be careful with the "fake" tiles, and the underlayment and linoleum flooring, given their age, they may contain asbestos. Generally not a problem, until you disturb or damage them.
There is a concept of “presumed ACM”, which is advisable when dealing with layers of material in an old building, unless the local jurisdiction mandates professional removal of all asbestos encountered during construction, then it may be in the homeowner’s financial interest to actually sample every layer of flooring, adhesive, underlayment papers, plaster, etc. and have proof of the absence of asbestos and thereby have the green light to conduct the work without the involvement of a licensed remediation contractor.
Yeah, my thought exactly for the facade tiles. Potentially asbestos cement.
And whatever rules there are, it's not something you want to take any chances with :( Nasty stuff.
Those exterior tiles absolutely contains asbestos! Very toxic!
The wooden floor was probably always covered. Looks like it's plastic now (and maybe toxic) but linnolium was very fashionable when the house was built. The wooden floor looks nice but if you want it to be accurate to the period a linnolium floor would be nice. And it's actually an eco friendly material.
I felt that joy when you discovered the wooden floors. Amazing.
Re-watching this just hits different. Troubles aside, it is magical seeing people put the time in to do things well
A rule I have heard is: before you make any changes to a house, wait 6 months so you are sure!
Very good rule.
AS a homeowner, I believe I can say that you will now never run out of new material for videos. I'm looking forward to all this work!
😁🤣😃So true!
You are 100% absolutely correct! My house is a 1975 built, 3,000 sq ft house. It is humongous.
Congratulations! But if anyone wants to do the same, I would suggest to be more careful with the asbestos, because it is quite possible that the grey floor you've been removing (to find the wooden floor underneath) was asbestos (and if not, the glue could be, as it is often the case).
I hope you've not been exposed. Good luck with the renovations.
My wife and I are restoring an old Bahnhof from 1865, I understand your joy at finding the wood flooring under the lenolium. I wish you continued happiness and energy in the months to come.
The house looks amazing. As someone who has renovated several houses I would say 'DO NOT' chemically strip the doors. It would desolve the animal glue that holds them together (ask me how I know🤔). Strip them by hand but be aware that some of the old paint may be lead based, so you'll need a good respirator.
The floors will come up lovely, countersink the nails, sand and cork the gaps. Then add the finish of your choice.
Look forward to seeing your progress.
Yeah, same here with the doors, I have one I almost ruined. We ended up sanding them down with a wonderful invention used to refinish windows (Like a mini planer, but heavy and loud omg) so it went *kinda* faster, but still so much work. But looking at Lauras doors, it would seem that since having only one owner for all that time, most of the sins of having doors repainted several times have not been committed. The doors look to be in awesome condition. I don't even know that she would have to strip them down if they look lovely painted. Mine looked terrible painted, so we opted to remove the paint and go natural. Looking back, not sure I would do it again if it hadn't been absolutely necessary. It is such hard graft.
@@lynnemarie7885 Definitely agree with you. Hand stripping is a huge amount of work and as you say, the doors may not need stripping at all but I would hate for someone to find out the hard way like I did. I had to reglue almost all the joints on all my doors. These may just need a light sanding and paint application.
Another possibility if it is available in your area is professional wood graining. It often uses a light tan undercoat and a darker overcoat that is worked while wet with special tools and stamps to imitate the wood you need. I know it is superficial but it can have the real "depth" of wood if is done well. It might not be ideal, but would keep the door intact. Could be a huge time and process saver. Have never done it, but worked on an old local Victorian home that had this. Yes some of the doors had chips on the edges but that could be touched up by a handy person like yourself. And it is actually the BEST protection for the wood underneath. Will not cause splitting or warping. One rule of "restoration" of precious objects, is to never do anything you cannot "undo". Something to consider perhaps if you can find the right artisan to visit that has a good portfolio. Hopefully it is not a lost art there, it was once popular in Britain in pubs for instance. An interesting book I have, a little old now, is "Paint Magic". Just a thought.
Exciting and congratulations! Another three years of videos are granted 😎.
Pls check if the facade panels (Eternit?) contain asbestos before handling.

They are one of the best concerts, you can not go but just seeing them from the screen, I know it was surprising
💗❤️💌💘
It looks like asbestos siding to me. I’m used to US houses, so it might be different in Germany.
They're 100% Eternit asbestos panels
@@knucklecorn Came to the comments to say just that.
@@knucklecorn Asbest was used in many materials till the late 60thies. In Germany you can give a peace of a plate to a laboratory for free to check out if there is asbest inside. If you broke a plate, i can told you if there is asbest inside, but you need to be a expert to see it...
Hey Laura :) Those outside panels that cover the exterior are most likely asbestos and are highly cancerous! Please make sure to wear a mask, goggles, gloves and sufficient clothing when removing them or especially cutting it. It should also be disposed off as “hazardous waste” at your local recycling center. I love the house, have a blast making it yours 🤝🥰🥳
They are not "highly cancerous" unless broken up and inhaled. By the way did you listen to the intro where she said a woman had lived there for 92 years - meaning she probably experienced the installation of all that asbestos containing cement tiles. It's a darling little house and she probably got it for a good price. I don't think I would buy it because I lived in a house with that stuff on the outside once 50 years ago.
@@justgivemethetruth I agree, a wonderful house. She needs PPE if she decides to remove them one day. End of story.
I thought exactly the same thing! Thanks for giving her this feedback.
I added my reply before I saw yours. Yes. I had the same concerns.
Experts needed for asbestos not armatures.
If this is going to be a whole home renovation series, I think I'm gonna subscribe for that.
Congratulations on your first house. Looking forward to the adventure :)
Nice to see you here!
Hi Stumpy!
@@david9783 Hi!
@@djamelhamdia134 :)
Wow you are so lucky that plastic flooring was not glued to the original flooring with what is called ‘mastic’ in the US . the mastic glue had asbestos in it, which is no fun to deal with. I bought a 120 yr old brownstone here in Brooklyn a few years back. I’m still working on it. But I did put solar on the roof, my electric meter runs backwards. Congrats on your new house! 😀 Eric.
It's no plastic it's lenoleum an all natural material
And its Not in the US
@@arnolsi It's the glue that has asbestos in it, but I've never heard of that in Europe. It might have been a thing though.
@@arnolsi I think linoleum is plastic
@@awonderland97 Nobody said it was! They were
just giving an example of a house they bought in the US..
As someone who has remodeled and restored two older homes (90yrs old and 100 yrs), might I humbly suggest cutting a piece of the wallpaper that you strip from each room, then framing it to hang in the room thereafter. I just think it's kind of a sweet tribute to the lives and personalities there before us, and preserves the tiniest bit of history. Just a suggestion since you obviously have some truly beautiful old wallpaper! Additionally, the architecture and curves on that staircase are just gorgeous and utterly swoon-worthy!
Congratulations on your marvelous home, and I hope it's filled with many happy years and memories!
This is SO exciting and I can't wait to see you do your magic.⚡️ CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats Laura! Just an heads up about the exterior "white wall tiles" They are made of asbestos. A very common building material in Sweden (and Germany) around the 50s-60s. Heaps of old carpenters and contractors died due to this material in the 70s and 80s.
Came here to post this as well. My house (built in 1965 on the east coast of the US) had the same stuff as the siding. We recently had it tested and removed and yes it was asbestos. Mine looked exactly like what you have on yours. Also, congrats on the cool house!
That was my first thought, too. Same type of thing is found here in Canada.
You would think that would come up on a survey when buying a house...
Agree. DO NOT take this off yourself. This is one job you need to leave to professionals. That's no neg on you - it's hard and dangerous.
@@ComeWhatThey At least when the seller knew they have to inform the buyer, I'm not sure if a seller is requiered to do a survey before selling.
Congrats, Laura! I hope all your projects go as easy as that floor demo did 😂 This is going to be fun!
Thanks! I really can‘t wait!
In hindsight, I think you might have jinxed this.
Did a quick google search for the pencil and it turns out that it was produced during the 1930s.
That's a 90 year old colored pencil you got right there
Wow!! Exciting congrats
This will be your best project yet! I am a conservation carpenter here in the uk and I just want to say it’s really important that you use breathable materials, like lime plaster/mortar and wood fibre insulation. Ordinary Portland cement and spray foam trap moisture which will prematurely rot your beautiful new house. I can’t wait to follow your progress!
Congrats Laura! Very excited for you! This house is so lucky to have you
Kurtis, I LOVE THAT YOU SAID THIS HOUSE IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE YOU!!! Such a sweet jester! for this sweet woman.
Congratulations! I’m excited for you and for all of us watching your brilliant work. It’ll be a quite enjoyable ride watching what you do with your “new” home.
Congrats Laura! Looking forward to following along on your journey with this house!
Super cool, excited to follow along with this! Those basement floors are nuts!
Congrats, you bought a really lovely old house.
Two things I would like to make you aware of are regarding the fassade.
The covering seems to be made of asbest. There was the typical way in the 50-70's to cover old Fachwerk.
Second, it's not a real option to leave the asbest as you want to free the wood from the fachwerk to be able to "breathe".
Hopefully the wood is in a good condition still. But other than that everyting else is doable step by step.
I'm really looking forward what you will do with this nice house.
Love the house! Tons of work are waiting for you. Lucky you there'S a lot of experience on renovating that kind of house all around in Germany. This will be a series of videos about renovating. I wish you all the best with it. Such an experience has no equal.
Awesome! Congrats Laura. Can’t wait!
Hi Laura, the far most important thing you should keep in mind with houses this old: moisture.
I expect that your foundation/basement is not waterproof. As soon as you insulate anything in this house or as soon as you make it wind proof, you will have a lot of mould. Back in the days, the little ckracks and holes in those houses were in fact needed to make sure, the moisture (your breath, cooking, wahsing, etc.) could leave the house without causing damage. I'd make sure you get an expert to take a look how your basement is. BTW: an underrated tool you should buy: Baufeuchtemessgerät
I bought a couple of 170 old houses. I’ve redone most of what needed upgrades but kept some old stuff as is. One living room has no nails but tongue and groove and a few dowels. Amazing craftsmanship. Can’t wait to see what you do with yours. Congratulations on being a homeowner. It’s both rewarding and terrifying in one.
Congratulations on your new old home. What a wonderful time you will have restoring and making it your own. Its beautiful!
So excited for you! Am looking forward to see what beautiful and imaginative stuff you will come up with!!
I used to live in a 104 year old house in The Netherlands and this took me right back to that hellhole that was a losing battle which we just had to bail on to move onto a bigger and better house (which was made mandatory for other reasons but thank god we had to). That said, I'm looking forward to seeing a hundred videos of Laura fixing this woeful relic up into something worthy of the name rustic vintage and not just old and dilapidated.
I don’t think I’ve been more excited for a home renovation than one done by you, Laura! Hyped!!!
Congratulations! I am so excited to see what you do with it!
Congratulations on your first home, Laura! I'm a new subscriber (in British Columbia, Canada) and very excited to follow your restoration journey. My maternal grandpa built his first (and only) home in Vancouver in the 1940's. When we were clearing the house out, we found a book that he used for directions on everything required to build a home and a box will all of the receipts. It was so interesting to take a peek back in time.
Key recommendation from someone who has and is doing this for a while: "FOCUS" is everything. Do not have 10 different projects going at the same time. Come up with a strategy that ideally allows you to do it room-by-room, but that is not always possible.
By the way, I don't think it will be that expensive to open up the ceiling and insulate the above, which you will have tro do anyway. I'm sure you are aware: DIY reduces the cost bei 2/3 at least. You will have a great project on your hands. Enjoy the ride, you will be immensely proud once it is all done! Best, John
Laura is soooooooo excited on this, let’s take a shot everytime she says “check this out”👍🏻🤣
Nice to see someone in their element especially in these 🦠🦠🦠🦠 times
Thanks for making my Sunday😉👍🏻🥰
Prost!
What a fabulous house, congrats!!! It looks to be in an amazing shape, I cannot wait to see that you transform it into.
Hello Laura. I’m so happy I found your channel. I know I’m going to enjoy the renovation process. Thanks for sharing! Cheers from Spain.
The literal “oh s#it” moment when you peeled back the flooring in the bedroom was comedy gold! That and the bit about reusing the pea green carpet… But a seriously cool place. This is going to be fun to watch!

I think the color is actually called "pee green"..
Congrats to the old house! Our house is 115 years old - it definitely has it's benefits to have a old house. But there are drawbacks as well. It looked like you have asbestos plates on the facade, so don't mess with that until you're sure it's safe.
I am elated at this adventure. Bravo for you. I am already anxiously waiting for your next video. Thank you for taking me along.
I am rewatching these this morning. I love the excitement in your face as you explore the house and find all the cool things.
“I know it doesn’t look like much”
You are tearing me apart, Laura.
It looks super spiffy! And it’s going to become great in your hands
Im so excited for you, the house is amazing! 😃Be careful when dealing with the outside, I think the grey tiles can have aspestos in them. It is also nice to befriend some people who love and renovate old houses who can give tips and hints. But you probably allready know all of this! I hope we get more house videos!
I agree. I lived in an old house with that siding. The owner wouldn't take it off because it was asbestos and he would have to do a big remediation job if he touched it.
Definitely do an asbestos test, those tiles are really common where I live and they’re all asbestos based. Maybe it’s different in Germany but good to check either way. Can’t wait to see the house projects!
Probably asbestos, but safe if not disturbed, and they last forever. It could be a later project…
@@matt7403 its a good thing the asbestos is "trapped" in the tiles as long as they sit on the house. As long as one use some protection gear, wet the tiles during stripping and do the right things with the waste, its doable. But exposure to the dust while stripping the tiles without any protection can be scary. I think all countries have some guidelines on how to do the work now, it is just something one need to know about to stay safe.
I’m so excited for this journey!!!!! So happy for you! Best of luck!
Just found your channel! I love it, love the video quality and I love watching people renew old homes! Love the projects so far! So excited I found you!
Thats so exciting! The linoleum flooring came up so easily! There are thousands of staples under the linoleum sub-floors in my house. There might be a nice old clawfoot tub under that skirting they added, hopefully they kept the feet on. If the plaster is cracking on the walls, just take it all down in one go before you move in. We're doing it room by room currently and its rough trying to control all the dust while living in it. Its also really heavy. Though the construction might be completely different there compared to Canada from that era.
Usually the plaster should be clay and lime. At least less dusty then cement 🤷
Germans usually dont use staples. USA and obviously Canada, too, seem to have a rich staples culture when th comes to building
Don't forget to check for asbestos in the plastic carpets before removing. Seems like there could be.
Awesome house!
Seconding this.
Asbestos based paint under wallpaper
So beautiful!!! Looking forward to seeing your "labour of love" as you restore this. What a nice layout and "feel" this house has! Congratulations! (Hi from Canada)
Looking forward to see what you do with your beautiful house. I'm sure it's going to be even more beautiful. Good luck Laura!!!

Ok this is the first time I've ever seen you, and your enthusiasm is so infectuous. You seem to be one of those people I would instantly like, from second 1 of meeting :) I hope you'll have a hell of a time renovating this beauty! Greetings from Berlin 😘
So glad for you, Laura. You will have the house of your dreams (and I will enjoy every minute of the journey!)
When you finally got to see the floor boards I was SO happy for you. I love that you will bring new life to that beautiful space. Lots of work and we will get to learn a lot with you.
It looks sooo cool!! Congratulations :)
Wow, so gorgeous, this will be an amazing project. A blank canvas awaits your magic touch. I too fell in love the minute you opened the front door. The entryway, stairs and tiled floor are to die for, and all the doors throughout are so beautiful. Looking forward to this beauty being transformed back to life. So exciting
I’m excited for you. Congratulations!
CONGRATS! The house looks beautiful and has so much character. It's gonna be a ton of work, but you can do it and it will look so amazing once you've finished it!
Amazing! What a great find! Congrats!

Laura, I am so excited to be able to view your renovations. Seriously, the main reason I watch your channel is that you are so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and tenacious. You also post every week which is soooo nice.
When you were pulling up the line oleum, I was thinking go in the corner. Also, when you said should I do this I was saying aloud YES.
I wish you the best with this house. Looking forward to some good videos. Thank You
Laura, I am so excited for you! We also bought a house 2 years ago: similar situation, though a little bit younger (1923) and we fell in love with the hallway (crazy gorgeous tiles) and lots of original features as well. But yeah, it's been quite a journey. And quite an expensive one as well. We have now achieved most of our goals (heating changed to renewables, lots of electricity and heating elements replaced, improved energy efficiency... we only have all new windows and eventually the outside of the house to do.) We joke we could have built an all new house with the cost of all the investments we had to make "after purchase". But I tell you, these old houses are so delightful to live in. The quality of construction is amazing and we feel like we made the right decision. Greetings from our Art Deco house in Kassel to yours! Can't wait to follow along and see what you get up to :)
So happy to see you getting really excited. All the very best for you.
I like how, though there are so many projects, you keep speaking of the house's beauty. Looks like the house found a good owner🏡
The outside cladding looks like Eternit, which is extremely durable. Only disadvantage is that it may contain asbestos. But it's only a hazard if you start sawing or drilling, or breaking it (when removing).
What a lucky find! To have an old house that has not been ruined by modern renovations. Just the lock on the front door (and a beautiful front door and all the inside doors!) are wonderful. I just came across this video, I have subscribed, and look forward to following your progress. And your English is excellent! Better than many native speakers.😄
Beautiful!!! Congratulations!!! Enjoy the journey.
Just subscribed. When I saw the house I fell in love. When you went inside the foyer I was in awe how beautiful it was. Whoever lived there took very good care of it. Every space was usable. So glad you kept digging for your wooden floor. Can't wait to see more.
I love it! The removal of stuff looks easy, except of course the concrete floor in the basement. Maybe consider replacing the concrete floor with clay brick paving (red colours). Definitely use lime render outside and lime paint on the walls and ceilings inside the house (white/cream). Doing all this will help the house breath properly, prevent damp, also improve temperature control costs and also be cheaper materials.
It seems that I just found my soulmate;) As soon as you entered through the front door, I was sold too, first thought, look at these tiles! And how beautiful is this staircase! And it kept going even better, the doors, the wooden floors... She's a beauty, just luv it! I cross my fingers and wish you great success on your journey. With lots of love from Germany
Whoa....you had me at the front door, the knob & back plate, stunning. The cottage is absolutely adorable. Love that it was occupied by the same person for many years, I would welcome her energy and invite her spirit to visit. I would not remove the 2nd floor ceilings, would leave the attic intact and renovate it into another room later down the road. Even the basement has so much character. Great find on the wood floors, loving the banister, doors and other features. Congratulations on such a wonderful home and looking forward to watching the journey.
...WHO CARPETS THEIR BATHROOM????
Freaks. And some Brits and Americans.
You have a great eye for a bargain Laura, this house is indeed a great find! From what I've seen in your video the main issue and probably the hardest and costliest part of your renovation will be water management, especially in the basement. I've participated in such a project and you'll have to fight water infiltrating the walls of the basement though capillarity (probably digging around the basement a narrow trench, and filling it with large boulders so the water cannot stagnate next to your walls). Solve this problem first -if infiltration is indeed an issue- and the rest of your project will be easy since the structure of the house and the roof seem to be in excellent shape.
If she is going to remove that basement floor, any water issues can be taken care of then.
Put in drain tile to a sump pit. Put down a thermal break / vapor barrier before pouring new concrete. And moisture issues in the basement should not be an issue.
Only thing is, none of that is cheap. So.
Congratulations Laura can’t wait to see what you create.
Sooo happy for you! Challenges are learning experiences and look forward to seeing your progress with this gem!
I Love your house It has so much potential This looks like a fun challenge Hope it goes well for you!!
Congratulations, your new house looks lovely. That door cut to shape the window made me smile. As the largest housing stock in the UK is Victorian terrace, it’s rather odd to think an Edwardian house is considered old but it is undoubtedly beautiful and full of character. A house that age has its own challenges but as you no doubt know, they are worth it. I hope you enjoy your new home for many years to come.
This is gonna be so much FUN! Can't wait to watch your journey! Congrats!
Yippee. So happy for you Laura. What a project. Can't wait to check out your progress.
Congratulations on your new house! About the roof: If you want to postpone redoing the roof, you might want to consider adding at least some isolation to it. I could imagine this will help you bring down the cost of heating quite a bit.
As someone who likes a similar asthetic to what you’re diggin up there, I love it! So cool and drowning with potential :)
As an electrician, I wouldn’t wanna touch any of that with a 10 meter pole repair wise. Although I’m imagining if you fully expose the walls, it wouldn’t be so terrible to rip out and replace all of the wiring.
This is VERY exciting!! I am so very excited for you!! This is going to be so much fun to watch
Congrats Laura ! I wish you the best in your new home. I think we will have a lot of good videos in the future with the renovation. I especially like the entry and i agree with you about the wall of the basement, nice structure. I renovate a house too, it's sometimes struggle but also fulfilling to create new things with/or reuse old ones.
Best regards from France.
Glückwunsch! Schöne Bude
