      What if flooring for the walls kept moisture down? Kind of makes sense being on the water and heavy winters tracking snow in and out and not wanting the stairs and walls to get ruined by moisture. Hmmm I don't know but can't help but think there was a reason for it.

    • @anneyday3493

But then I met a lady and invited her around for coffee and she brought her husband. He enjoyed looking around my garden and asked if I kept bees. I told him I didn't and he went on to say it would be good for me to do that and even suggested a spot for the hive! Then today a lady came doing the national census and one of the questions was do I keep bees!? I was beginning to wonder if I should but after watching the first minute of this video I decided against it. 😂

    Just a thought……how is the insulation behind the ship lap? Perhaps the flooring and plywood created a barrier against drafts in an old house. I would check the insulation throughout, and also install sound absorbing on the floor in the upper rooms. Being as close as the cottage is to the shore and its 26:38 location in Nova Scotia could be dreadful in the cold winter months, especially since they heat with wood.

    They may have put it up because they liked the wood panel solid look. they did not like the bead board, some people do not. It was a cheap solution at one time. People use to do that then paint it a solid color. I prefer the bead board it is so cottage and country. Amazing it is not damaged as far as I can see. Just trim it out you got it. A good coat or two of paint will look spectacular. Love the ceilings have it too. Can not wait until the next one. Suspense. Love the color of the bench. Peace!

    I love your two teamwork and I have always been drawn to the episodes where you just scrounge and repurpose on a shoe string like back in your dump scavenging days. Thanks.

    All the houses in Nova Scotia are screaming for the English family. You make all the houses in the original state so cool. ❤

    I know in some older homes by the waterfront you'll find plywood I'm not sure but I think it was for insulation and not wanting to destroy the bead board or other walls They might not have known about blowing insulation down through the walls
    It's going to be beautiful I so love the triangle back splash idea can't wait to see what that looks like Loving the treasures from the out buildings Stairway is going to be gorgeous Night night Have a great tomorrow 💓

    What a wonderful surprise under that flooring and plywood!!! I've inherited my parents 200 year old home and have removed the square ceiling tiles in the porch to reveal the bead board ceiling. This room was two room made into one so there's a section in the ceiling where there's no bead board so I'm going to put in a faux ceiling beam.
