With that plaster off you can put up studs - insulate and then modern plasterboard walls and the house will be warm in winter and cool in summer. What Toyla has achieved in just a month is amazing.
Thats the way to go, for sure. Maybe leave some of the internal brick walls exposed as that would be pretty.
@@1ACL I agree!! We are remodeling our kitchen and I found out there is some brick and I wished we could leave it exposed but it’s really bad brick so we are covering it with drywall.. ☹️ but it will still look good.,✌️
@@LoveIsInTheHouse Could put another layer of brick on a chosen wall to be left exposed🤷♀️
@@believeinjesus8862 true but it’s my father in laws house so.. but I also love your name .. praise God!!
A stud wall and plaster board/sheetrock is a good idea. But make sure the old brick walls are structurally sound first. They may need to be re-mortared (tuck-pointed). Unreinforced masonry walls are a big problem.
When Tolya removed the plaster and I saw the old brick, I thought, "Oh-oh. There's a potential problem."
But I KNOW you can and will make this a beautiful home.
Shout out to your husband for all that hard work. He must be aching at the end of the day. Can’t wait to see further progress on your renovation!
Vika is working hard and aching too, looking after two children alone for so many days!
@@neatodude3339 yes indeed she is, but she is clearly proud of the work her husband has done for their family. To compliment him is not to put her down. This video she put out just happens to be about him
@@Afact_is_Afact Good point
@@Afact_is_Afact Yes, you are right!
Exhausted each day but what a great husband you have!
I think it’s very admirable that Tolya decided to get the walls taken care of from the get go instead of making a temporary fix that wouldn’t last as long. It’ll definitely be worth it! Keep up the hard work! From Indiana, USA
I couldn’t agree more! I’m from Indiana, too!
I agree, Indiana here too! I think he is doing a great job for his family.
Tolya and your friend's first weeks cleaning and stripping must be such a morale boost moving forward. Kudos to these industrious two for pushing through the fatigue and discomfort being tired and wet in cold conditions. What a relief for you to discover your house is generally sound under all the grime.
I am so impressed with how far the demolition has come. Your husband is such a hard working and noble man!
My Dad renovated our family’s home more than 50 years ago. He was a 32 year old father of six at the time. Old plaster had to go. New wall studs, electricity, plumbing, heating, insulation, plaster board, etc. my mom said she spent the entire first summer just trying to keep the children away from the demolition areas of the house.
It is a beautiful home now. Yours will be too. Best wishes! ❤
Wonderful comment, wish you best.
Wow, Vika, Tolya’s worked so hard!! I’m sure he’s been sore with all the work. But should be very proud of what he’s accomplished! And you having to watch the little ones is no small task either!! Keep it up and God Bless.
Damn that is one hell of a man you have there! I cannot believe how determined he is and what he accomplished in such a short time. Both of you are so impressive and you make me realize that so much more is possible than I think. You accomplish so much with two young children-you are like super heroes !!! Really inspires me. I can’t wait to see the progress of your house. This was absolutely fascinating to watch!
Now I need to stop being so lazy and get started on some DIY projects…
Toyla is doing so much work, and he's doing a great job!! (His friend, too.) You must be very proud. I'm sure it's a lot for you, too, taking care of the girls by yourself all that time. Your house is going to be so cool and it'll have so much character!! I love seeing the progress. Thank you for posting this.
Tolya! (sorry, I spelled it wrong)
I cant wait to see the progress with your house! Shoutout to your husband for the hard work he is putting in! Greetings from Calgary, Alberta (Canada)
this house has got some much potential! Spacious rooms, well located stairs, lots of windows, garden, attic! What else you could dream of? All the best to you guys for your love new home ✨ Fantastic job, Toya!
That is a man that loves his family right THERE! All that hard work and love he put unto that house..... he is good as GOLD! A lot of men would give up half way into the job and stop. He keeps going...... WOW! 👍 You Both are going to be in that house sooner than you know it! Be patient with yourselves because rehabbing a house takes time and a lot of energy out of yourself. My old- lady tip is, restore one room at a time so you do not get overwhelmed with it all. 👍
This timelapse was extremely relaxing and satisfying to watch, your husband and his friends did a huge effort and the difference before after is already big too.
Ahhh Viktoria, your husband is a gem !!! The work he did is unbelievable! Hope to see more videos and I am sure it will look beautiful when time goes on and the weather gets better ! Good luck for you both ! 🙏💕
So much water - inside
After watching this, you must be very proud of your husband and all the effort that he has put into getting these walls in shape.
You have made great progress! My husband and I have renovated all of our little house over the years and nothing ever goes as quickly or easily as we think it will. You are off to a great start!
I admire people who have not just the skills but the patience and mental strength to do that. It seems overwhelming, especially when you're living in the middle of all the mess. Rewarding when it's done but it seems like a stressful process.
Once you own its constant renovations lol Ive painted my place all the way through twice now and Ive only owned it for 7 years lol
You guys are incredibly brave to take on such a huge task. Wearing a mask and safety glasses are essential. Tolya should be proud of himself for doing such a fantastic job.👍
That's the first time I've ever heard of power washing the inside of a house. It worked well. Your daughters will have a great record to look back on about their life in Georgia. Who could have predicted all this just a couple of years ago?
I'm so excited for you guys and can't wait to see the final product! Please can we get Toyla some ear defenders and a face mask? Also, in terms of clean up, if the plaster on the second floor needs replacing, I'd recommend removing it now, before you renovate downstairs. Otherwise, the clean-up (dust) will be a nightmare x
Tolya is such a good man! Your home is going to be so lovely when it is finished. I can't wait to see what it will look like as work progresses. You both work so hard. This will be a home to be cherished and will become a huge part of your story. Thank you Vika for letting us share the journey with you. Lifting you and your family up in prayer.
I can't wait to see how the place turns out after all your renovations!
Oh no no no no. Pressure washer inside of a house - a house in winter and without a heater- a house that is full of wooden floor. Oh guys, that will hopefully not turn into a massive mold problem in a few weeks/months.
The house looks like it has good bones. It will be full of love when you finally move in. I can see all the possibilities the house has.
Thank you for showing the importance of (1) accepting help from friends, (2) using electric tools to save your hands when you can and (3) the advantage of doing cleaning work when it’s still too cold for bugs to be a problem.
OMG! Is Tolya going to find someone else to help him? I was exhausted just watching him. I know it will be beautiful when finished. I have to admire all the work and dedication. As always best of everything and stay well.
There's nothing more wholesome than a man working hard for the benefit of his family.
Kudos to Tolya. How dedicated and hard-working he is. I really appreciate his efforts and I’m sure with your dedication, you’ll make a palace out of this house.
That's a lot of work for 1 person. He must be exhausted at the end of the day. Like everyone else, can't wait to see it renovated. 🤗
This is a massive amount of hard work, especially for mostly one person. I love seeing it come together and I find myself really looking forward to your updates. Your family is such a bright spot.
What a labor of love-I can’t even imagine how much pride and connection Tolya will feel once you’re all able to move in there together! And what an amazing set of skills to be developing while renovating!
seriously what i thought, too. his love for his family is so evident in how meticulously and diligently he is working on their home. what a beautiful noble act of service for his family! they will always have such a deep connection to their home.
@@louisav11 I agree also!!
Tolya is so impressive! He’s so diligent and working so hard.
It's good that you both were prepared for the lengthy process of fixing up the house, and it sounds like you've made some substantial progress so far. Best of luck with the rest of the renovations!
Wow! That's a lot of work!! If you didn't have mold before, you sure will have it now with washing inside your house with a pressure washer. I've never heard of that in my life! Not only could it produce mold now, it will sure warp the heck out of any wood inside the house. The plaster fell off because it was soaked in water. I wish the best for you but, it looks like you have a major money pit there. I sure hope you're putting up dry wall or plaster over the brick? OMG is all I can say. Wish there was a few more people helping him. That's a LOT of work!
Their climate might be drier out there. I come from Georgia, USA, and mold is a huge issue. If you leave a building alone without climate control, you’ll get mold within the year. But when we moved to Midwest, mold isn’t as big an issue because of the lower humidity.
As that’s been standing for ages without occupiers an no mold, I’ll assume their humidity is lower.
@@Tanya_Offscript mould is mould. When you douse a house with water, you're going to get mould. It will just grow faster with a high humidex.
Wishing you and your family the best! Seeing your husband working on the home is no easy task. Bless his soul and bless all of you throughout this time.
ABSOLUTELY amazingly hard work put in by the hubby! I'm excited for your family and your new adventures as home owners! Remember to rest and exercise patience during the process!!! Much love from NEW JERSEY, USA
•••PS# Friendly reminder: it's important to use personal protection equipment as we do not know what toxins may be in the materials that are being removed.
I was thinking the same thing. Wear a good mask and eye protection Tolya! You are inhaling a lot of dust along with unknown particulate.
RESPECT for Tolya, what a great and heavy work he has done.
I never saw someone washing the house from inside with water, can't this bring some humidity problems in the walls?
What about the getting electrical connections wet, maybe a bit dangerous.
Anyway, looks like everything turned out well.
Keep going 💪🏻 good luck
Just removing the old wallpaper already made such a difference, it really made everything look messier. Your husband worked so hard, I'm sure the house will look very nice in no time! Good luck to you guys!
Capturing this video footage means generations of your family will actually be able to see the work it took for you and your husband to secure a brighter future for them.
Oh my word, what an insane amount of work in a short period of time. Your husband deserves an award. It's going to be very exciting to watch it all come together.
Wow. Your husband sure is a hard worker. It may take longer then you expected but it will certainly be worth it. Better to do it right then rush to get in. God bless. ❤️❤️❤️
Wow. Vika props to you too for holding the Fort down solo while your husband is doing all that work. Must be physically demanding but so satisfying!!!
It'll be great.
You have such a wonderful opportunity to create a beautiful cozy home! We look forward to all the videos!
Oh, dear. You really need to have the house checked by a structural engineer. It looks like there are serious issues with your foundation and walls, especially in the corner where the bathroom is. The floor there is extremely uneven and you got huge stair step cracks in the brick work. Also seeing how deteriorated the mortar and how poor the brickwork is inside and outside, the house is likely not structurally sound. This is a big safety concern, especially since Georgia does have earthquakes.
I'm gonna make an educated guess here and say the house is in one of the villages that were founded back in late 80's, when the Soviet government resettled several thousand people from the northern part of the country to the south because avalanches had destroyed their villages. Those houses were built very cheaply because they needed housing for all those families fast. Hence the shoddy brickwork and lack of plumbing and insulation in the house. Those houses are of poor quality and are likely not worth the time and money it takes to repair them. Even if you do most of it yourself. You would be much better off tearing it down and rebuilding it. Sometimes starting over is the cheaper and faster option.
(Just doing a quick Google search, you can get a pretty cute 67 m2 prefab house for 30k US$ in Georgia. That's more than likely less than you'll pay to renovate the current house.)
And while it's admirable to try and learn how to do home renovation by yourself, it's important to know what you're doing to avoid making mistakes that are difficult and expensive to fix later on. Using a pressure washer inside your home and saturating all the wooden floors with water for example was not a good thing to do. You likely made the already bad mould issue in your house much worse, because the water will seep through the floorboards and up the doorframes and cause the wood to rot.
I truly wish you all the best but if you really decide to reno the house, I'm afraid you'll either have to sink way more time and money into it than you realize to make it safe and livable, or you'll have to live in a house that poses a health risk to you and your children.
Oh, and please, please wear proper masks when working in there. Even when you're just shovelling debris into a bag, you are making dust fly into the air that you then inhale. Even if there's no asbestos in there, this sort of thing is never good for your lungs and can lead to serious health issues.
Hi Vika and Tolya, we haven’t heard from you for a while but we can only imagine how busy you are with your house.
Hope to see at update soon.
Hope you are all well. God bless your beautiful family❤️❤️❤️❤️
Your husband is such a hard worker. You should be very proud of him.
Holy moly! Great work there, Tolya...sorry if I spelled his name wrong. That home when done will be a sense of huge accomplishment for him, and taking all that old plaster down...either putting new plaster or something else to cover the brick, you know it's up secure
Wow, never seen or heard anyone use pressure wash inside a house. Hopefully there is concrete base in the floors, otherwise you're in big trouble. Hard work done by Tolya, wishing you the best.
Wow your husband is doing a great job getting your new home done.♥️
My husband and I have been rebuilding our home for the last 7 years, all while living in it. Most everything will always end up costing more, taking more time and will take lots of patience, but it will be worth it in the end. Keep up the good work you guys! Love seeing how much progress you've made so far! I can't wait to see what you guys do with this home 😀
Your husband is so hard working and patient. Hope all is going well.
Tolya is such a hard worker and he's doing a great job!
I am totally impressed with all the hard work your husband is putting into your future home.. he is a deeply committed family man. ❤️👍
They need to wear masks. To prevent inhaling all this dust into lungs. I hope you can find them at your stores. I'm excited to see the process of fixing up this house.
The house is coming together nicely.
So excited to see the end result.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING HUSBAND YOU HAVE.
TO THE HARD WORKING MAN OF THE HOUSE........GREAT JOB......BRAVO👏👏👏👏👏
I know you are so proud of him.
That’s a lot of work! I have to say I would not recommend pressure washing the inside of a house - it’s an invitation to problems, mold mildew and even rot with all that moisture, and may have contributed to the plaster problems…
No I wouldn't have done it myself. All that water has to go somewhere! Maybe in concrete floor areas but not where timber-floored. Still, too late now!
The house you're fixing up to become your home has so much potential! It already has quite a lot of character. I cannot wait to see more updates as you make progress! This was fascinating to watch --- excellent work, Tolya. Thank you for sharing these pieces of your world. ☺ Take care!
I'm sure that the work is backbreakingly hard, but by speeding it up, it seems comically easy. So please tell Tolya that we do appreciate it really is difficult, particularly alone. What is most amazing to me is that he knows what to do and how to do it! Has he done renovation work in the past?😍🤩
Tolya deserves a medal. What a lot of hard tedious work. Glad you will be able to live in the house while you are renovating. This house will be a haven for all of you Vika.
Oh my goodness, your husband is working so hard. I'm sure he has no problem falling asleep when he finally gets to bed. As hard as it will be to get it where you want it to be when you are all finished. You both can be proud of your decision to do a fixer-upper and as we say in America you have built great sweat equity.
I like that stone floor...
AND the bare brick in some places would be nice....but I know you are going to have to insulate outside walls and roof...
Y'all REALLY saw the potential...that little old house is going to really be nice...your husband is very talented mechanically..
You two are a REALLY good match..💞
That is a very huge job he has taken on! Wow! Best wishes and good luck. He is a very hard worker! You are blessed. 😊
So glad the plaster will be taken off....I know it'll be a lot more work but well worth it. We did this on our first home, a fixer upper house. Very old house with plaster walls. When we opened up the walls, hardly any insulation at all, so no wonder we were freezing!!! Replaced the walls with new studs/sheetrock and insulation - it was amazing and worth it and yours will be as well. Great job so far!!
Your husband is amazing, good luck guys!
Wow! What great work!
I think it's a very good idea to remove the plaster. Fresh plaster will be safer for you all and will give you a fresh start.
Keep water spraying down to a minimum, unless you can dry the surfaces straight away. (Mould starts to form 48 hours after a material becomes wet)
What a great journey! Good luck with it all
Toyla is like a machine!
If he isn't an inspiration to at least get me to clean the bathrooms in my house, I don't know what is!!
What a phenomenal job he did, even the bit of help from his friend allowed that much more to get accomplished.
Happy to see too that he was wearing protection from all that dust and debris.
Wishing you continued success and can't wait to see what's next from Illinois in the US!
😊❤❤❤
I have not seen a house made entirely of bricks inside and out Kudos to your hubby for all the exhausting work he is doing. But he said be wearing a mask as that is not good to breathe in all that old dust also he should complete the removal upstairs too so the dust doesn’t fall downstairs while you are living there
I just love to see a solid brick house in the middle of an amazing landscape! You guys are a great example of strong will and perseverance! You are RICH! ❤❤❤❤
Your husband is such a hard worker and he has accomplished so much in your new home. I’m already starting to see the potential of the house. I can’t wait to see more.
Well done to Tolya! He has worked so incredibly hard! Such an achievement!
Poor guy!he did it all himself.much respect💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Tolya is a saint, I could never do that much manual labor, especially alone! What patience! It's looking so much better!
Oooh I cannot wait to see more of the cleanup and renovations! How fun!
Tolya is a treasure. You both are obviously very hard workers. I am in the USA. My son is married to a Russian woman. She is here in the USA but my grandsons (twins) were born in Moscow. I’m very happy for you and your family. Will keep an eye out for more videos. Your house is going to be lovely.
So relieved to hear for you, you both are very hard workers. Peace to you and your family
Your husband is a good man. Such a hardworking amazing husband and father. I think it will all be worth it in the end. Many blessings to you and your family ❤
Bless his heart, labor of love!
Exciting, I can’t wait to see the progress.
What a hard worker your hubby is:) You must be very proud of all he is doing to get the house ready. I'm sure it is not easy to have the two little girls on your own too. May the Lord give you both strength and grace! Dawn
So happy for you! Great job!❤
You must be very proud of your hard working husband! This is a tremendous project. I pray that everything goes well for you and your family. 😍
This is so satisfying to watch
I didn’t want it to end!!!!! Keep it up Tolya!!!
Applause to this man… just wow!
i love watching renovations !
Sooo looking forward to follow the progress 🤗
This is so interesting. I can't believe how much he has already accomplished, he is working so hard! I'm really looking forward to seeing this whole process.
What a change! Brawo Tolya!!!
Tolya is an amazing worker! Thanks for the update!
Good job Tolya!
Keep us updated ❤
so much work! Well done Toyla!
that right there is dedication and pure love for your family ♥ keep the hard work!
Nothing more challenging and rewarding than working on your own home♥️
I'm an old lady in Washington State USA. I'm watching this work and my bones ache! However, I am SO EXCITED to see what you young people do with this property.
I am soooo excited to see how you guys renovate your home!! Keep up the wonderful work and you should feel proud of yourselves!!!!
what a hard worker!! I am so impressed by your tackling of this project!
And your husband what a hero doing all on its own
That’s pretty incredible what Tolya has done so far, all by himself! Good luck guys!❤
Your dedication and hard work is to be admired . What an achievement already !
I hope you all are able to find someone trustworthy and good to update the electricity! Things become easier when the basics like electricity and plumbing work well. 🙂
Toyla is amazing. The place looks 💯 better with out the dirty plaster & paper. Well done Toyla.
