For those who don't like the music, there's such a thing as a volume switch. The guy is doing us a favour editing, filming and so on, on top of renovating and working. Let's not put demands on him ❤
It's a little shocking to see the sub floor under that laminate in the hallway. The electricity and plumbing systems seem so daunting! Good work! And it's SO good to see that chair lift tracking gone. And -- I agree with the commenter who said that these shorter videos are JUST FINE! You don't need heavy editing. Time lapse is wonderful to watch on renovation videos.
I would be so excited to get all things done quickly but I imagine it is going to take several years or more to fully restore. "Hang in there", we are all rooting for you. We will be watching.....
Thank goodness you guys have bought this poor house. She has been so abused by the folk who made her into flats, and you are bringing back her beauty, so thank you for saving her. It is going to be a lot of hard work, but you two are young, and keen, and I wish you all the Luck in the world in bringing her back to her former glory. What a wonderful garden you have, so lovely to have your own space around you. xxx
This is so satisfying to watch! You can almost hear the house give a sigh of relief 😁 Love the shorter videos like this as I can tuck them in around my workday over a coffee ❤
I have a good feeling about this channe as !: a no-nonsense, show the progress and no advertising and with honesty in its presentation. 2: This will be I am sure a fabulous renovation, dare I say conservation of what is potentially a beautiful house.
My husband and I enjoy watching your channel. We both said, almost at the same time, he needs to save those expensive door hinges for use later. At least in the US, those are pricey. 😂 and could come in handy. We are small time do it your selfers who also aren't made of money, so we think like that. 😊
After demolition, wiring, plumbing and structural work, doing remodeling from attic to cellar saves time and money. A weather tight insulated attic saves a lot on energy, learning remodeling skills in the least public rooms means not necessarily having to redo imperfect first attempts, and as you finish a floor you won't be tracking through completed spaces causing clean up and/or repair messes. It also means the more expensive main room floors will have the least amount of remodel traffic possible.
I'm all caught up on your videos to date. Binge-watching them all this evening...lol!😂😂😂 You two sure have your hands full with a project of this scale. I think it will be a lovely home once completed. I'll be watching your whole journey from Nevada, USA.😊
Greetings from Ukraine! I love videos like this, thanks for interesting content! watching houses transform has a calming effect (because, you know). Hope to see your chickens and cat! And of course, more of that cute doggy!
Hi Charlie. You are doing exactly what we did 20 years ago - knocking a big converted country house back into one grand home. If I can give you one major major piece of advice - I know you work full time BUT find the time to go on an intensive plastering course, and aim to knock out as much of the re-plastering as you can yourself - you have no idea how much of it you will end up doing, and it will save you £1,000's ( and whatever you do DON'T use an electric steam wallpaper stripper - they blow plaster off walls like nobodies business and you can end up with walls that look like they belong in a house in Berlin during WW2, and you quickly learn how to swear like a trooper, quite loudly at that! )
Hi max, how does one even start to master the auction world and pitfalls of buying a potential hovel, oh and avoiding breaking the bank as my pockets are pretty shallow to start with, but the actual work of renovating i can master quite a fair amount on my own
I saw a few people recommend a steam stripper and thought the same, pretty sure I saw another channel where they had that problem and recommended a Zinsser wallpaper stripper I think.
@@nicolad8822 The best methods are the OLD methods, even if they are more time-consuming. The way to get chip-paper off walls, is to first go over the paper with a blunt'ish scrapper to 'knock' off as many of the peaks ( chips ) as possible. Then lightly score the paper in two directions, so you end up with a diamond pattern over the wall. Then SOAK the paper with cold or luke warm water from a garden sprayer. Be sure to use plenty of towels at skirting level as there will be alot of runoff. After some time the paper will become soaked and the adhesive will soften enough for the paper to be easily lifted off with the use of a blunt scrapper. DO NOT use a sharp scraper as there is a high risk it will gouge the plaster. Once all the paper is off scrub the wall to remove any adhesive left on the wall. It is usually advisable to then re-paper the wall using top-quality lining paper ( with a cotton backing. ) as the walls will most likely be pretty crappy, which is why chip paper was put up in the first place. OR just bite the bullet and knock all the crap off and replaster from scratch! more expensive but the finish is so much nicer.
We tried a steam stripper in one room ... and filling all the holes and sanding the uneven bits took so much longer than doing it manually with some water and a scraper. Never again.
Nice, to the point, update. Cleverly done, those sped up parts. Huge improvement already. After the clean-up it may look a bit depressing but it will only get better. Just as long as there are no unpleasant surprises. Can't wait for the next update. 👍
That half moment of panic when something looks worse as you demo than when you began but then you remind yourself that it's going to look SOOOOO much better when you finish than it did when you began. Deep breath. You can do this!
Sorry pressed thumbs down instead of thumb up. But have remedied that. You're really getting stuck into removing the old. It's satisfying to watch your progress. I can envisage climbing roses, jasmine, clematis al over the front of the house with a beautiful terrace overlooking your lovely spacious garden. Your barber did a great job
I know you've said many of the original details were lost to bad renovations in the past, but one thing the house hasn't lost is its wonderful proportions! And with the methodical demolition you're doing, each bit of weird addition you remove reveals more and more of those lovely proportions - I'm imagining that wall along the upper balustrade will be a particularly satisfying revelation when it comes out.
I'm sorry I found this channel! Already. I wish I would have found it 1 year from now so I could binge the whole thing! Now I have to wait! Dangit! 😀 Hello from Orlando, Florida! Great work so far!
I'm so excited to be watching from the start. I'm glad you saw the forest through the trees. It looked impossible but you are doing fantastic. I don't mind you talking and showcasing your hard work. Doesn't have to be on fast speed imo.
Really looking forward to following the progress. I love watching progress videos and was excited when this one popped up so thank you and keep up the hard work. It will be so rewarding when it’s finished
Großen Respekt dafür was Sie sich vorgenommen haben, ich finde das Haus und das Grundstück hat viel Potential, viel Kraft noch für die Verwirklichung Ihrer Träume 🙏Greetings from Germany
Loving this series, and congrats on a great deal! Rather than making this just little bits of work and multiple uploads a week, try and turn the whole thing into a weekly blog of approximately 20 mins with shorts interspaced through the week. From one Dorset resident to another, keep up the good work old buildings like these need to be loved
Great to watch the start of something new! I don't know if anyone has suggested it yet but a heavy duty floor scraper is great for glued tiles and carpet and many other things. The long fibreglass handle allows you to work in a standing position so you get a break from working on your knees all the time. They usually come in 8 and 16 inch widths. Both have their uses but the 8 inch allows you to work longer with less fatigue. Good luck.
Like the way you both clear up as you go along,piling up things you are removing and then taking them out to the skips. You are also managing to be quite methodical, which is a good thing,when there is so much to do it can be tempting to jump from one task to another.
One thing to consider, is making the brick annex livable. Depending on what you pay on your existing housing, (rent, mortgage and or property taxes), it might make sense to move into the brick house while you renovate your Georgian house. I know it was said that the brick house was in worse shape. But, it is also much smaller. That would make it be both cheaper & faster to renovate. Living onsite can help with many things. Like bathroom access while working on-site. As well as meal breaks. Something to consider. Good luck.
I wouldn't be too hasty to rip up the existing flooring.It will protect whatever is underneath while the other major works are going ahead.I wish you the very best of luck,it will be amazing when it is finished.
Absolutely love these videos, speaking from experience, there will be times when you hit that wall and question every decision you make, hang in there, you are preserving history and it will look amazing 👏
Here's a suggestion: I would plant a row of trees on the edge of the property facing your neighbor's houses. Someday, they will grow tall and make you feel like you are in a secluded meadow. I wouldn't plant them too close to the neighbors - I wouldn't want to deal with trying to prevent branches from falling into the neighbors yard or blocking too much sunshine to their house. Here in the U.S., small/young trees are cheap along with patience.
I have to address the "stair lift" at 2:54. When I first saw that in your walkthrough, in the first video, I thought it was some cruel device to keep kids from sliding down the stair rails or something. I was reminded of a story I'd heard back in the 1970's/80s about guys who used to put razor blades under the door handles on their cars (the kind that you pulled up on) to keep thieves from testing to see if the door was locked. I thought to myself, "What psycho puts sawblades on their stair rail???" Thank goodness you explained that with your section caption! I clearly have no knowledge of how stair lifts work! 😆
A little tip today. Take the rubbish to the tip daily or at least weekly as it’s either free or really low cost. Save on skips. You will be amazed at what you save. Keep the copper/metals to take to get a bit of cash back in your pockets. Also…Security is needed to stop any thieves. Always be careful with electricity. Keep up the good work. 😊
The house looks like something out of an Austin novel. I can imagine croquet on the lawn in high summer and espaliered fruit trees against a kitchen wall.
Good job! Go, Go, Go!😃 I imagine you nare going to do the entire cableworks new from the supply box, which is a good idea. Interresting how they just put all sorts of left over carpet pieces under the hallway floor to make it level...😅
Yep, all the electrics will be replaced, new wiring back to a new fuse board. I'm waiting for the electricity company to come and remove all those extra meters.
I'm midway through ny own full house renovation project here, and one of the first things I did was having a big main switch installed right after the meter for all 3 phases. That way I could switch off and on everything when working on the stuff behind it... i can only recommend that. I still need that once in a while after 5 years...😅
Your new house has great potential to become a magnificent home with careful plaining and the right decor. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Best wishes from Australia
I’m glad it came across your new channel and I’m looking forward to see what you do with this beautiful home. I’ve enjoyed it so far and I wish you and your wife the best of luck.
Woke to my first cup of coffee. Realize you have a good RUclips voice for this project. Watching is inspiring with the progress made (proud of both of you efforts and focus) and now a bit tired after watching… Will say the floor work is a strong back job and not easy.
I hope the renovation is going well. I've been looking for new videos from you. Just for your own safety don't disclose your address and keep your tools locked up. I remember some of the Grand Design people suffered losses. Hope to see more from you soon. I really like watching your channel.
It must be so satisfying to see the changes each day! Hang on to that satisfaction to boost your spirits on the days that you ask yourself why you decided to take on this project.😉
Incroyable potentiel de cette très belle maison. Bon courage pour la rénovation et désolée je ne parle pas très bien anglais. Un conseil pour enlever la colle des sols, un décapeur thermique et une spatule ou lame à enduire ça fonctionne très bien, c'est très très long mais ça fonctionne ! Au plaisir de vous retrouver dans d'autres vidéos.
Modular in makes for easy modular out. Be grateful you aren't pulling gobs of nails. Screws are the way to go. Glad you're in the good weather season. 👍👍👍
A few tips Time to buy a Transit, you will appreciate it when you need to get rid of stuff or get stuff. Get organized now! Set up storage and workspaces. Set up the annex as a secure storage area. You will need a place to store tools and recharge batteries for your tools. Good luck with this interesting project.
Depending on the make/condition of the stairlift, it almost certainly has a monetary value. There is quite a trade in second hand/reconditioned stairlifts. Might be worth exploring. A few more pounds in the pot!
@TheRectory1812 One for a curved stairway (although) obviously difficult to find an identical stairway costs at least several thousand second hand. Suggest you talk with a local stairlift engineer who might want it for parts
Just found your channel and watched all your videos and subscribed. As far as the electrics are concerned, I would never rely on one of those tester wands. I would really recommend you get the flats isolated by an electrican in the meter cupboard, and the distribution boards certified disconnected.
@@TheRectory1812 if you like the cornicing you can take moulds and have reproduced similarly for high skirting boards reclamation yards for fireplaces etc
With all that laminate flooring you are amassing you could put it onto a local selling site to recoup some money to go towards refitting the house, also the old wiring and copper piping could be sold to a scrap merchant making you some spare cash to reinvest. Just saying, I love the videos you could make them a little longer say about 20 minutes and then you could go a little more in-depth about your work., thanks for sharing
I can't wait to hear or see the structural engineers' evaluation , which are load bearing walls, where the original front entrance was, and other information.
I look forward to watching this project unfold! If you can think far enough ahead on demo, you could offer "free used kitchen... (or flooring, etc) ...help remove" or something of that nature. You get help taking it down and best of all, it leaves the property. One less trip to the dump (...the tip?) 😊 🇺🇸
Are you going to turn it back into a family home, the gardens and the little court yard are beautiful ❤ really like following your journey for the renovations it’s going to look amazing ❤
You only have a few more of those to go lol. The one thing though about all those kitchens and bathrooms is that you'll have great options for where you can place the new ones. The sewage for instance is going to be much easier, hopefully.👍😬
love the action videos, they are great to watch (could you perhaps label which flat you are on so we can keep track?). I am sure there will be several bits that you can sell on as well, which will hopefully recoup some extra pennies. I've often seen the flooring up for sale, and am sure many other bits will fetch something even if you sell it for £5 on facebook. looking forward to seeing more of these! keep up the good work. x
Wow, I have renovation project envy. Lots of exciting, stressful but ultimately rewarding times ahead for you both. You may or may not have already considered this but, the annex has the potential to be quickly (and cheaply) spruced up temporarily as a refuge. Somewhere away from dust, mess and mayhem to take a break, get cleaned up and changed from/to working clothes and even to sleep over periodically during renovations of the main house. You obviously will want to minimise the cost of that so consider carefully what you rip out and skip from the main house that could be repurposed in the annex for a short to medium period (laminate flooring for example).
For those who don't like the music, there's such a thing as a volume switch. The guy is doing us a favour editing, filming and so on, on top of renovating and working. Let's not put demands on him ❤
It's a little shocking to see the sub floor under that laminate in the hallway. The electricity and plumbing systems seem so daunting! Good work! And it's SO good to see that chair lift tracking gone.

I look forward to seeing the progress you make on restoring this house.
Perhaps save a few of the kitchen cabinets to reuse in the outhouses as storage. And hipefully your saving wire and pipe to sell for scrap.
Good thought. Someone could use them.
We used (free) metal cabinets from a local school for garden shed storage. Handy!
...and the laminate flooring. I've seen that for sale of facebook, and was just what I needed to tidy up a small room here.
The more you reuse /sell/give away for free, the less you spend on skips

I've just advised him to look at 👉👉Gemma Wheeler Architecture 's masterpieces!!!
We tried a steam stripper in one room ... and filling all the holes and sanding the uneven bits took so much longer than doing it manually with some water and a scraper. Never again.
So satisfying seeing the bannisters revealed by the removal of that stair lift!
This project is so much fun to watch. Thanks for sharing it!

Cheering you both on from the Yukon, Canada
Love the format and the progress update. Also liked seeing the overhead shot of the layout. It’s awesome. Keep on! 👍🏻
Love watching this, get deal of work but exciting to see each result.
One kitchen demo’d….five more to go! Love your story!
Love that speeded up work! Good job.
Thanks for these brief updates. ❤🇨🇦
Sorry pressed thumbs down instead of thumb up. But have remedied that. You're really getting stuck into removing the old. It's satisfying to watch your progress. I can envisage climbing roses, jasmine, clematis al over the front of the house with a beautiful terrace overlooking your lovely spacious garden. Your barber did a great job
like the speed up version and its great to see all the progress

Thank you!
Here's a suggestion: I would plant a row of trees on the edge of the property facing your neighbor's houses. Someday, they will grow tall and make you feel like you are in a secluded meadow. I wouldn't plant them too close to the neighbors - I wouldn't want to deal with trying to prevent branches from falling into the neighbors yard or blocking too much sunshine to their house.

Agreed.. couple car loads a day will save thousands on skips
Great work and great video. 😀
Think this'll be one of those channels I'll be hooked on. 😊 oh , and I quite like the music 🎶
Fabric softener mixed with water in a spray bottle is good to remove wall paper. Excited for the next video. Well done yall.
So happy to see these videos. Can't wait to see more!
Just found you this morning, now up to date. Watching from Southern California, wishing you the best and can’t wait for more!
Go Charlie go!!! You had that down in no time at all ❤
The house looks like something out of an Austin novel. I can imagine croquet on the lawn in high summer and espaliered fruit trees against a kitchen wall.
I was thinking of Jane, too! This was her era.
Good job! Go, Go, Go!😃
I imagine you nare going to do the entire cableworks new from the supply box, which is a good idea.
Interresting how they just put all sorts of left over carpet pieces under the hallway floor to make it level...😅
Yep, all the electrics will be replaced, new wiring back to a new fuse board. I'm waiting for the electricity company to come and remove all those extra meters.

Enjoying the videos. Awaiting your next one. Drone footage is great❣️
Cool property, can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Yeah man, this is so exciting. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
I'm looking forward to seeing your progress and what you do to this wonderful old building.
That business beneath the hallway laminate is alarming! I see you’ve done such a lot of work, good on you!
You make it look so easy 😉 . The music suits the task and the 'speed'! ❤😊🇦🇺
It must be so satisfying to see the changes each day! Hang on to that satisfaction to boost your spirits on the days that you ask yourself why you decided to take on this project.😉
Can not wait to see this beauty finished.
My friend, you are a maCHINE!! Well done!!
Incroyable potentiel de cette très belle maison. Bon courage pour la rénovation et désolée je ne parle pas très bien anglais.

What a beautiful location.
Do not throw out the stair lift ! you might need it before you are finished!!!!Good luck!

A few tips
Time to buy a Transit, you will appreciate it when you need to get rid of stuff or get stuff.
Get organized now! Set up storage and workspaces.
Set up the annex as a secure storage area. You will need a place to store tools and recharge batteries for your tools.
Good luck with this interesting project.
New subscriber, binged all video's just now 😀
Glad you like them!

I'll look into it. I only have the railing though, the chair was already removed.
@TheRectory1812 One for a curved stairway (although) obviously difficult to find an identical stairway costs at least several thousand second hand. Suggest you talk with a local stairlift engineer who might want it for parts
Surely too, there is a market for kitchen cupboards in reasonable condition or, alternatively, they can be given away if still I tact?
You both have a lot of courage to tackle a huge renovation. A lot of damage was done to a beautiful house. Subscribe people!
Just found your channel and watched all your videos and subscribed. As far as the electrics are concerned, I would never rely on one of those tester wands. I would really recommend you get the flats isolated by an electrican in the meter cupboard, and the distribution boards certified disconnected.
nice to see one of these homes turning back into a family home good luck with it
Thank you!
@@TheRectory1812 if you like the cornicing you can take moulds and have reproduced similarly for high skirting boards reclamation yards for fireplaces etc
Thanks for shering! (Its fun for me to watch)
Both doing a great job. Really enjoy going on your journey. Maybe tools could get sponsors or even products used for ongoing jobs. 😊😊
I hope you will continue the work and make a beautiful home😊
With all that laminate flooring you are amassing you could put it onto a local selling site to recoup some money to go towards refitting the house, also the old wiring and copper piping could be sold to a scrap merchant making you some spare cash to reinvest. Just saying, I love the videos you could make them a little longer say about 20 minutes and then you could go a little more in-depth about your work., thanks for sharing
I can't wait to hear or see the structural engineers' evaluation , which are load bearing walls, where the original front entrance was, and other information.
Really enjoying this, I knew I would! ❤ XXX
Thank you!
I look forward to watching this project unfold! If you can think far enough ahead on demo, you could offer "free used kitchen... (or flooring, etc) ...help remove" or something of that nature. You get help taking it down and best of all, it leaves the property. One less trip to the dump (...the tip?) 😊 🇺🇸
Thank you for sharing your journey and letting us in to see the progress
Are you going to turn it back into a family home, the gardens and the little court yard are beautiful ❤ really like following your journey for the renovations it’s going to look amazing ❤
You only have a few more of those to go lol. The one thing though about all those kitchens and bathrooms is that you'll have great options for where you can place the new ones. The sewage for instance is going to be much easier, hopefully.👍😬
Love the house can't wait to see the partition walls removed
Love the house❤
Lookin’ good!👍🏼
love the action videos, they are great to watch (could you perhaps label which flat you are on so we can keep track?). I am sure there will be several bits that you can sell on as well, which will hopefully recoup some extra pennies. I've often seen the flooring up for sale, and am sure many other bits will fetch something even if you sell it for £5 on facebook. looking forward to seeing more of these! keep up the good work. x
One step at a time will get you there!! Thanks for sharing
Wow, I have renovation project envy. Lots of exciting, stressful but ultimately rewarding times ahead for you both. You may or may not have already considered this but, the annex has the potential to be quickly (and cheaply) spruced up temporarily as a refuge. Somewhere away from dust, mess and mayhem to take a break, get cleaned up and changed from/to working clothes and even to sleep over periodically during renovations of the main house. You obviously will want to minimise the cost of that so consider carefully what you rip out and skip from the main house that could be repurposed in the annex for a short to medium period (laminate flooring for example).
