dans la salle de bain il y avait déjà du béton à la place des carreaux de ciment à quelques endroits. dans le couloir la qualité des carreaux de ciment + l'ancienne colle est très mauvaise donc je pense recouvrir tout de ragréage
What are your plans for the building? Will you be living there, and will you run a shop? If so, what sort of shop? Looking forward to watching your progress
Yes I will be living here eventually, maybe on and off depending on my own work. I could use the existing shop as a shop but at present it is the best, brightest, space and I'd like to use it at a workshop. Once I get into the rooms / buildings at the back of the bakery I will get a better idea of what could be done. I'll see as I go
Many old pieces of trim, doors, flooring, and such still have value to folks even if needing to be repaired. Hope your are able to rehome or reuse all that you take out that can be salvaged.
Just did a big renovation in the Dordogne. We had loads of old doors, bathroom fixtures etc. I couldn't give them away for free. Sadly I ended up taking almost all of it to the dump.
Great progress and I really look forward to the project but you have to speak some. Welcome people, tell us a little of what’s going on. Thank them for watching thing. Your view count is extremely impressive. Unfortunately it’s not translating to likes. Engage with the folks. Great work.
Just started viewing your vlog. Best wishes for a great project and a more settled home for your art and creative juices. A4bientot from Cleguerec, Brittany.
Love your video. As a quick suggestion, I notice you using some sort of solution for wall paper removal. My wife and I stripped the walls on our 1913 house that had, in places, 11 layers of wall paper, and we did it with nothing more than hot water in a spray bottle. It worked great, except on paper that was plasticized for bathroom.
I just got lucky in this room, the paper was so dry it soaked up all the glue remover. The adjacent bedroom, however, is covered in a plasticized wall paper and no amount of this product made any difference. As I am without electricity I will need to heat the water with a camping stove or similar until reconnected
There is another floor above (grenier) which could be converted into useable rooms and in that case I would insulate the roof. I have made allowances for insulation but at a later phase and yes no doubt it's going to be chilly for a while
Actually, yes now I understand - when that ceiling by the skylight was open it was the time to insulate. Missed opportunity I suppose but learning as I go
I've sorted and piled a lot of the old skirting as I'd like to retain as much as possible - but I may yet peel back the plaster and repoint the stonework in the downstairs room. Depends on what I find as I go along
Perhaps some advice for your use of cement mortar - it can cause problems when there’s original lime mortar present- especially for moisture trapping. Good luck. A big job.
The random use of cement seems to be the cause of the destruction of these wonderful buildings. Good advice. Hope to see lime mortar being used for the sake of the beautiful Bakery. All the best. Sure this will be a fascinating home.
I enjoyed your video! We have spent the last year renovating the old village post office here in the Dordogne. Good luck with the renovations. Only advice I can give you is two crowbars are better than one. 😉
Good luck in all you do. I hope the old smell of decades of flour, fat and sugar disperse soon. It is a building of good potential. Strength and power to you m'dear. 💖🙏🥳
great episode... no unnecesary commentary... you just let the work to speak for herself... kip up the good work ... but man you need some electric tools for sure... other wise it will take you a lifetime to finish the renovation... work smart not hard ... buy some electric tools in case you don't have them already...
I just subscribed to your channel. What is this space going to be. And is it in Ireland and what part of Ireland? I lived in Belfast Northern Ireland for 2 years I met my husband there and then he moved back to Oklahoma with me. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
It's going to be an artist studio and yes I will live there some of the time. Working on that at the moment but I will be back at the bakery in July to resume the works
Great video! Subscribed and looking forward to more. Funny moment for me, I saw you cut something with a utility knife on the floor, and I thought - is he really going to do that to his floor? Next scene you were tearing the floor up with a shovel!
First of all, I love the stairway! Second, what a great treasure when you found that little window. I would love it if you would speak a little when you find things. And a complete tour of the place would be lovely.
As it was the first video, most of what I was doing was stripping back to bare bones. From there I will have a better idea of what can be done and for sure I will include an overview of the entire place
yes, love it. it's maybe only 1mm thick but it's been painted on one side and very tricky to remove this paint without breaking the pane but let's see.
Very well done video of all the progress and work already accomplished! I'm looking forward to seeing your next episodes.

This is a great episode. If you keep this up you will have a huge following. Love your work.
You should restore ciment tiles which are not fix, the thickness seems very good, and it’s very good quality !

Look like a fun challenge. Did a few of those in France a while ago. Just started a new one in Italy. I look forward to seeing how you get on.

Sometimes things are just garbage. Not everything needs saving.
True, some things can not be saved & need to be tossed, but it's also true that some things are thrown away that can be saved.

Fabulous work! Thanks!
So nice to watch a vlog with no constant talking and updates 😊.
My favourite kind to watch
Glad im not the only one!
you are so skillful!

Wow, that’s a lot to achieve in 10 days! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Beautiful old building! I would have put insulation in the ceiling cavity. That place is going to be a nightmare to heat.
There is another floor above (grenier) which could be converted into useable rooms and in that case I would insulate the roof. I have made allowances for insulation but at a later phase and yes no doubt it's going to be chilly for a while
Actually, yes now I understand - when that ceiling by the skylight was open it was the time to insulate. Missed opportunity I suppose but learning as I go
Keep elements of the old skirting for depth. Then use the detail to make up new / replacement skirting to the correct depth on re-fit.👍👍😊
I've sorted and piled a lot of the old skirting as I'd like to retain as much as possible - but I may yet peel back the plaster and repoint the stonework in the downstairs room. Depends on what I find as I go along

Thank you and yes I was just reading about that today. Looking into using lime mortar when repointing the rest

Great building, I wish you luck for the renovations
It is a very charming building and I hope up bring forward as much as I can 🙏🏻
Oh dear,I saw fungus and rotten beams and perhaps some fire residue.
Do you want to live in the house?
Sub’d excited to watch your progress. Good luck!

Ah lovely, so your works are well underway. Looking forwarding to seeing where I can be in one year's time
@@dericksmith me too.

All my electric tools are in a workshop in another country but once I have more time I will take everything to this project

It says a French bakery.

ah great, looks like you're well underway there
Great video! Subscribed and looking forward to more. Funny moment for me, I saw you cut something with a utility knife on the floor, and I thought - is he really going to do that to his floor? Next scene you were tearing the floor up with a shovel!
That floor was so well laid and so solid but not well maintained. It was bittersweet pulling up such craftsmanship

Bloody hell mate, you've taken on a monster. It's gunna be good to watch your progress. All the best of luck to you.
Wait until you see the buildings at the back 😅😂
Enjoying your video, but surely it’s not necessary to wear breathing apparatus when patching plaster?
Not necessary for that job but the dust levels are very high and I sometimes forget I'm wearing it. (Other jobs I forget to put it on)
Good luck!!!
Enjoying your channel. Talk to us!
I will, but first I wanted to let the work speak
Lovely old wavey glass!
yes, love it. it's maybe only 1mm thick but it's been painted on one side and very tricky to remove this paint without breaking the pane but let's see.
I have antique windows with panes. Some panes are extra thick, others so thin & fragile, and others normal depth... but it was the way they were made.
Any more videos Derick, keep going you can turn your hand to anything.
Màith thu.
I'll be back in France in July to pick up the works again
Grand.
Hello Derick !, belle vidéo, hate de voir ces beaux murs avec tes peintures ! A bientôt !
Merci Philippe ! moi aussi je rêve de remplir les murs de couleurs mais d'abord de créer une immense boite blanche
Which village is this?
A place called Ravieres
Thankyou
what year is the coin?
1922
@@dericksmith excellent memento
@@CedDewan yes, it was lovely to find that on day 1. I'd never seen one like that before
@@dericksmith I can imagine so. Maybe name the first piece or series created in that studio "1922" as an acknowledgement.
