"Fixing past mistakes" I feel like that's half of what I do at this property 😂 like the "French drain" hoax
omg, the Saga of the Faux French Drain 🤣😭
@@ShannonMakes 😭🤣
Inch by inch, it's getting better. Tackling lots of little jobs will be what wins the day in the end.
🎉🎉🎉
While collapse may not be eminent support is always a good thing
Love seeing how the house is coming along and all the things your discovering that has happened in the life of the house and the bad repairs that you now have to fix but when it's finished you'll have the pleasure of knowing you gave your home a new lease of life rather than it being demolished by a contractor and a modern house built in its place
Very true!
❤ the Corgi set up on Dads lap eat his breakfast and then Dad gave him a smooch which I felt so heartworm over This is how I treat my loved ones that are four-legged.
Old house = surprise after surprise after surprise 😆 but it will come out amazing in the end. I hope you are proud of yourself. 💪🏼
You are such a great person to follow. Getting ice cream always makes life easier.
So true! 🍦

I Love Cannells “Fiestas”!! All that wet siding has to be adding to the wet, mold, problems in the house. Hopefully the new gutters will help keep the foundation a bit dryer. Bit by bit you two are solving problems that will add up to a solid house and a lovely home. Sometimes a temporary fix is the best you can do!
Is that an old carriage? tractor? So cool. I'm glad you aren't the hysterical, over dramatic, click bait af kind of youtuber; thank you for that. Cannelle really was the star of this video, lol Have a wonderful weekend.
Truly, Cannelle is always the 🌟🤣
I absolutely love what you and your partner are doing. You both are making great choices.
The pup is the cherry on top.
Thank you both for sharing!😊
Thank you very much!
I have liked, shared, commented and sent the algorithm out to get snacky snacks while I wait for this to start. 😂😝
🍿🥤🥨🍓🍪
Hi, Shannon and Phil. I love that you two get to the bottom of a problem so that you can fix it properly. Cannelle continues to be adorable❤️❤️❤️
Those floor boards under the regular floor are so incredible. I love seeing how older construction was done, and it shows why so many of these homes are still standing today.
Hope Shannon and Phil can get those floorboards carefully lifted out then professionally cleaned, restored and put back in.
Always excited for corgis and updates!
Yay!!!
What a fabulous episode!! You both have done such a great job in fixing past mistakes 👏👏 I'm pleased to hear that you were kept safe from the hurricane 🙏🤞💖 your fur baby is absolutely gorgeous 💖 Have a wonderful weekend ☺💐
I love your approach About This Old House. Rocky stated it's been like this for a long time a few more minutes won't matter. ❤❤❤ how you are sympathetic to restoring this house.
As a rural dweller where outages are frequent enough, we invested in an automatic generator.
JUST as you went outside to check the storm we had a sudden strong gust of wind here. Slightly spooky!
Great result from your sleuthing, who would ever blame baseboard warp on pressure from a brick wall in the basement! Brilliant!
Nice video! We discovered motion sensor lights years ago. Open the front door, and the light comes on - no more groping for the light switch (which is too far away)!!! We've got a house jack under part of our main floor where two joists didn't overlap properly - been there 20+ years and still going strong!
Lots of restoration. Good job. Nothing worse than opening up and exposing the unknown.
I feel the owners in the past may have gone for make do and mend and get to it later and fix properly. But unlike Phil and yourself who will, it was forgotten about. You have to do the grotty stuff to get to the pretty stuff later. You have your head firmly screwed on. Hope all goes well on your new contract.
Well now I know how I’m going to spend the last half an hour at work today 😅 gotta love home office 😂
yay working from home!
Love hearts in you work on This Old House both of you are such a good team and canal too. 🎉
❤❤❤ you're being so thorough and taking problems in stride. Love watching. ❤❤❤
hopefully the new gutters will help keep water from pooling next to the foundation
yall are such troopers. we bought an 1830 farmhouse in maine two years ago and we finally have it dried out and insulated! our moisture issues werent as extensive as yours, so just know im here encouraging you!
also totally relate to fixing past mistakes. A LOT OF CHOICES were made over the 200 years - and trying to rectify them is quite a job!
I so enjoy your videos,thank you.This time it really helped a problem that we have.We also need night lights in areas of our home because we are older.The switch plates that you showed are the perfect solution!We will be ordering some of those soon.Also thank you for the video on English paper piecing,you have me hooked 😊And I am really loving it.
Shannon, I've been loving the restoration of the house so much. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. House looks like it's coming along well and in good hands between you and Phil.
As watching you talking in the house, I have to say the lamp with what looks like a mauve velvet shade is spectacular! I love the small portions shown in clips. Was wondering if you could possibly at some point share full view of the lamps you have chosen to use in your beautiful house. Of course the one I spoke of included. LOL
Thank you and again love watching and being a part of the reno. Of course only by being a cheerleader in this venture.
Loved your house from video 1 of you showing her. 🫶👍🫶👍🫶
Those outlet covers r really neat, but I'm wondering... Can u paint/decorate over them? Say, if u want them to blend into the walls a bit more? Because then I think they would be perfect!!! Ariel (Bassett??) just did an excellent and beautiful job of wallpapering over light covers in her last video and I just adore that concept, especially for older homes!! Keeps the vibe while keeping u safe!!
I'm glad you were both safe and it was an uneventful hurricane. I super appreciate not over dramatizing things. The channels that do that often i just do following because it gets old.
I love your videos and can't wait to do some sewing while listening to the compilations.
Guys go back on the roof and replace the flashing for the chimney. all the flashing was not there. Without the flashing around the chimney, you will have water leaking thru the ceiling and between walls. Also, the 2 boards that buckled where you removed the bricks from under in the cellar? You will need to pop one of them up if not both and clean all the crap out of that space between the 2 boards in order for them to relax back down over time. There is a lot of dirt accumulation in the crack.
If you cannot get to the window with the big gap financially wise this winter put plastic over the window then put a sheet of plywood over it for the winter. Cheap fix but warmth in that room. Also to help warm it up in the whole house till you can get new windows put plastic over all the windows. I have lived in houses over 350 years old and the plastic did wonders! The one i am renting now is over 100 years old and i have the original windows so i put plastic over them during the cold months.
You are two of the most amazing people.
So glad to hear you weren't impacted! There are so so many things to correct here. Visiting friend said things like your mean comments, boasting of new built home.
I just spent a week in Montreal and unfortunately, half of it was spent recuperating from a cold, but what a beautiful city! It’s the first place my husband ever visited in North America, so that was exciting, but I think he might be disappointed by the rest of it😊 expectations have been set!
Your home is fortunate to have you to save it from melting back into the earth little by little.
Love a night light. Those outlet plates you exchanged out were gorgeous. Any plans for those elsewhere in the house or maybe in some cute project you have planned?
I feel your pain on the moldy wet siding. Our old house the kit hen was an addition at some point in its history. The house itself set on a low foundation right on the ground. So when they did the kitchen addition, they slapped down another foundation that sat right on the ground and the eve of the roof poured water right into the corner along with massive amounts of oak leaves so the house always ha a problem in that corner with the bottom siding panel being moldy. We eventually snapped it down by 6"and sloped it down towards the side of the house so water would drain away. We also had to replace that section of the siding. Which was not easy to match. We did the best we could with what we could find at our local hardware store. This is before we had a Home Depot in our area. The joys of living in a small town community. Ironically the closet in the first bedroom didn't have a foundation. It hung off the side of the house. It was just a little 3x3 square so it wasn't that big. We didn't know it was just attached to the house until after our dog, who was a puppy at the time decided to did a hole right there that's when we discovered that it it didn't have a foundation under it. Speaking of dogs, Cannell's little Fiesta we so cute. That's the sign of a happy dog 😂 maybe she needs her own channel, Cannel the circus corgi 😜 with lots of circus corgi butt wiggles 😂😂
Cannelle is obviously loved and found a really good stinky place in which to roll!
Cannelle loving looks are so precious...!!! Bless her heart
She is THE BEST!
I’m so glad to see another video. You’re so relatable & refreshing. ❤Cannell.
I remember helping a friend with an old house & we were taking the chimney down. I tried to use the wheel barrel to move the bricks 🧱. I wrecked & dumped the whole thing! 😂 It’s very heavy!
Good morning Shannon, I love watching you ❤❤😊😊
Step for step, it goes in the right way. 👍 💜
You guys are great so very hard working, love watching the two of you and the sweet sweet Corgi.
Thank you! I have a 100 y/o house with original floors (I think) and I know they need redone, last person to do the floors didn't fix them just added a layer of something that is now flaking off. But one of the bits of damage is a large bulge, I couldn't figure out what caused it (thought it might be water damage). It might be sitting on a brick wall, the wall pops away from the foundation for bay windows. I just put a coffee table over it so that the cats can look out the windows. Hopefully whoever I find to redo my floors can fix it without removing the foundation.
And the countdown! Yay!
I would have adrenaline coming out of my ears if I had to leave in two days and had to rip off the siding! Hope you had great contract and not too much worries about the house while you were awary. Super impressed how you're doing all of it (I'm writing this from behind my comfy new triple glazing that we definitely didn't install ourselves....)
Thank you very much! 💜♥️
Ice cream makes everything better. I am enjoying this renovation. Fascinating that foundation stones grow in Nova Scotia so close to your house hehehe
🍦🍦🍦 Yes, it's our main cash crop 😉🪨
Always so interesting ! You and Phil are doing a great job and you have a great cheering section in your little Corgi pal!
Phil’s so cute! 😊
So much quality corgi content, thank you! Also, it's such a relief to get answers to the mind-boggling questions of past building decisions.
The best corgi content on the platform!
The SNAP plates are cool, but the one you took off was so gorgeous!

Was worried...so glad you suffered no more storm damage.
Godspeed,

Thank you 🥰
Love your channel. I live South Carolina and we are in what we call "hurricane season" which lasts from June 1st and ends Oct. 31st. We get a lot of hurricanes that form over the Atlsntic but peter out and goes back to sea. But once in a while, we get a big one. I also don't panic because we do have folks who evacuate and it can be a mess. Have a good contract😊😊😊
rewatching once more right after the premiere :)
Awesome work again, thanks for the video.
I still hear it as "house it going?" at the end :)))
I mean, I kinda love that. I may start saying that now!!
Merch 😎 cups?
Did not hear anything you said while watching corgi t-v. Only doggo.
Magical floating houses are totally a thing.
That inner brick wall is so interesting.
I was really sad to lose our lovely original oak hardwood floors, but the house was VERY bouncy, so we had to do diagonal plank ties and then a new composite wood floor on top. The trampoline effect is officially gone now.
When my home was built in the 90s, the baseboards did not touch the floor.. The builder used quarter round to cover this gap.
That's pretty normal... that's basically why the quarter round was invented 🤣🤣 Allow for the natural expansion and contraction of wood without having a hideous gap!
Yup ..I own an old house also. Impossible to do one project, each one uncovers others that need to be addressed first, to get back to the original one.
I always double/triple the amount of time I think it will take. Motto of an old house - Nothing is Easy!
Nothing is easy, and EVERYTHING is a can of worms!! 🪱
Cannelle is just THE CUTEST!! ❤
Damn... it's amazing what's turning up in this house, but at the same time, just how bad it's gotten after years of neglect; the swollen floors causing the baseboard wood (lath?) to pop out, the bricks pushing up the floor, and the corner of the house that needed support; just crazy! You're getting it all sorted, though, yet for every problem fixed more keep popping up! Keep at it! I have to laugh 'cos I know you're talking but my eyes are on Canelle both in the background and not, the little darling, stealing the show. She is such a mischievous little sweetie!
I'm glad that everyone got some emotional support ice cream. It's a very important part of life. I can't wait until I live where I can more easily get emotional support dairy free ice creams. XP
Oooh yes... my roommate is dairy free as well, and even in Montreal it's a bit tricky!
@@ShannonMakes in the USA it was so easy, even in my hometown which is a small city. But there's rarely options in the grocery store in Japan. I've heard Germany is pretty good though!
Canell is very enjoyable!!!
😅I'm exhausted just watching you, but you're on the right track. Keep moving forward. Watch out for the siding under the current. Most likely has asbestos.
The wind and the cars, not a big deal when I'm listening to you it's okay.
Hi from Colorado Springs 😀 merry
I have night lights everywhere 😊😊
I get it that they were sponsoring the video and you were willing to try them. But you had such CUTE switch plates and night lights before, that I hope you'll eventually switch back to them--much more in keeping with the house type.
I know they look like fancy metal or something, but they were just dirty plastic... nothing special, and also not my style. I might worry about more aesthetic ones later on down the line, once we're at the ✨aesthetic decisions✨ part of the renovation, but for now, I'm happy to try a product that makes my life a bit more convenient, since I'm not attached to the aesthetics of the old or the new ones!
Also remember that I consider whether I think the brands that I work with and the products that they offer will benefit my audience... it's not just about me. I felt that these were a good quality product, and would genuinely be interesting and useful to a portion of my viewers 😉
yay, another upload!
Corgis make the best pre washers of dishware! Get all the left over food bits off real well ^^
Also, my back hurts just watching you two move those large stones at the end. I understand you two know your own bodies and and strong for work, but still x,x hope you have avoided any sore-morning-afters.
We lift with our legs not our back 💪🦵 And yes, Cannelle makes the BEST pre-wash cycle 🤣🤣👅
I am waiting for your video.
I wish your videos were longer or you had several videos a week, but I understand editing is a whole other job. ❤
There's always my second channel 😉
What if you had a couple of electric fireplaces to suffice until you finished the radiators?
Have you ever told the story of how you got your wonderful spunky dog?
Just told it in my “Assumptions” video last month 😊
Ahhhh the wheelbarrow said I quit...!!
1000% 🤣😭
I'm glad the hurricane did not cause you problems
By the front door? Then it might be from winter boots being taken off over time the water swelling the wood. At least that's what happened at my parents home
No, not by the front door... just a wet province 🤣
Change you guys try selling that drum it might be worth some money.
just ordered my first two-pack of snappower outlet covers--and, although they were already discounted by your coupon code and free shipping, i got them totally for free because of credit card points! :D it's so much fun when you and we both benefit by helping each other!
Phil is so HOT💜 how lucky are you!!! Taking on this project along with your demanding work… curiously why? Do you plan to move there permanently, leaving your Montreal apt? I forget.
I love you restoring this home mostly to its original state, a learning experience
🐶❤❤❤
I have loved your channel (I found you with the first episode of the house saga) and enjoyed watching you from the first moment. Phil was pretty much in the background and silent for the most part and I had no opinion of him at all with nothing to base one on. He's really grown comfortable being on your channel and he's such a genuine and charming man. I had begun to respect him immensely for his calm, steady demeanor and the way he speaks to you. Always supportive and loving but with a sense of humor. But with today's video, he's earned the same level of friendly feeling and respect I hold for you in just 10 seconds. 20:05 to 20:15 You are two of my favorite people on RUclips (three if you count the fur angel) and I'm so happy you've found each other.
You need blue cover alls if you’re going to wear your hair like Rosie the Riveter 😉. Maybe pack around a drill? Be sure to fix old problems the correct way when you have funds and time to do so. You and your house will thank you later
