My names Erin and I'm renovating an 1890s Victorian mid-terrace in the north of England.
Outside of house videos I might also share vlogs about my Piaggio Porter microvan and other lifestyle things.

Journey to Central Heating - Renovation Diary
Getting heating into the house has been the biggest goal for the last two years so I can finally get the house to dry out and start recovering. After this point, it's clear sailing to the end!

Final Strip Out - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 1853 หลายเดือนก่อน
It's been a long wait but I've finally been able to get contractors in to remove all the bad render from the back so we can see what state the bricks are in. Replacing the final section of roof, and taking down all the remaining ceilings inside. Not much for me to do in this one.

New Drain, New Windows - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 26010 หลายเดือนก่อน
2024 off to a good start. Got the brick stud walls removed from the ground floor along with the hall ceilings. The new kitchen wall is framed out and the cold water has been rerouted through here. All of the windows on the rear of the house have been replaced and now everything is ready for the builders to come in March to do the final major structural works! Everything is moving forward!

One Year of Renovation
มุมมอง 104ปีที่แล้ว
I have officially been a home owner for a year but I don't quite have a home yet. Let's run through the changes I've brought to the house over the last 12 months and find out how much it's all cost. Why so slow? Partly it's ignorance of what I should be doing, and partly a lack of time to commit to it (probably averaging 1 day a week through the year). Another factor is needing to wait on contr...
Restoring Beams and Insulation - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 161ปีที่แล้ว
A very long update and one that doesn't really cover many changes considering the time but this covers work I've done over the last 4 months on the top floor. This includes clearing out the rooms, removing the existing stud walls, stripping and restoring the exposed timber beams, and insulating the roof. Interesting to look back at this and see how fluid the plan with the house is. Partly I'm f...
Fitting a uPVC Window - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 87ปีที่แล้ว
Not uploaded for a while but the work didn't stop. In this video I replace the rotten window that was in the north west corner of the outrigger where it takes all the weather. The original window had completely lost the structure of the frame and the glazing unit had dropped leaving a 15mm air gap at the top which made the house extra cold and extra noisy. I got a Rehau window, non-opening unit...
Openings, Walls, and Supports - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 193ปีที่แล้ว
Another month has passed and some big ticket items checked off the list. I had the openings on the ground floor created (although now there's an extra job to be done to make the side walls safe), the outhouse was demolished which was a huge relief, and I propped the utility floor which was several tonnes of concrete slab held on top of rotton joists. In case anyone's worried about supporting th...
Roof Update - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 111ปีที่แล้ว
Been a while since I had an update just because I kind of passed the baton over to tradespeople for a while. I had the main roof replaced which was all on a local company to do. Part of that was also getting some windows made for the dormers. I ended up having the whole roof done in Burlington blue slate which is a natural stone quaried fairly nearby. Other than the roof, just a bit of prep wor...
Final Clearance and a New Window - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 90ปีที่แล้ว
Took some time off work to wrap up the clearance stage of the house work. Got the last part of the rubbish removal complete with the basement front room but found some rot while I was working. This forced me to take a couple of days to build a new window so I could extract all the damaged wood that I could. Also got the garden stripped back and found it's got a concrete slab beneath the whole l...
I Took Down Another Ceiling - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 139ปีที่แล้ว
Spent this weekend taking down wallpaper in the front room ready for the wall to be knocked through. That job isn't until later in summer so I went ahead and started taking down the ceiling on the top floor. This should make things easier for the roof work that needs doing early summer.

I Cleared my Outhouse - Renovation Diary
มุมมอง 237ปีที่แล้ว
This week I tackled the outhouse. It's in a pretty bad way structurally so I need to clean it out in preparation for demolishing it in a couple of weeks. This needs to happen to make space for the scaffolding for the roof, as well as getting it out of the way for the rendering. Next year, I will rebuild the back wall to give the neighbors privacy again and create a noise deflector for the heatp...
I removed my Lath and Plaster Ceiling - Renovation Diary

Saw a bunch of videos about removing the plaster and then the laths, don't bother. Just go straight for the laths, or even the nails holding them up. The plaster falls off easy when the wood drops.

Awesome progress, man. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
Incredible progress! Well done Erin 👏🏻 Really smiled at the joy the radiator brought you ☺️
Honestly a very emotional time going through the front door and finding the house warmer than outside!
Happy toilet day! Sounds really good and comfy!
Thank you! I can’t wait until there are lights - living by torchlight is actually so hard 😂
@@erinovate ahaha! will you put some cool parametric design woodworks on some walls?
Looking at some procedural tile design at the moment but we’ll have to see about costs 🤞
This is such a cute little video. Hope you make a series out of it! How'd you learn to do half of this?
I have learnt that this is indeed a series and that this entire channel is dedicated to it. Got something to binge now :)
Thank you! Honestly a mix of TH-cam and a lot of thinking ✨
very satisfying to watch someone else do some work :) those old boards look pretty sturdy, and hard to get out, I'd put them as another layer over chipbords again. If just for the vintage feel... keep it up! congrats on the new job!
They were unfortunately full of woodworm! I am able to keep them in the bedroom and lounge but the other rooms have to be stripped unfortunately. Definitely getting into the flow of things with the house now
@@erinovate what about oiling them up and using them in a stylish pattern as wall cover... or as a camp fire lol
It's coming together!
Thank you! Getting there!
Just in case it wasn't a consideration - be very careful with that chipboard spacing and that it never gets wet - otherwise that's not a very fun foot through the floor. Ideally the joins would be on joists - When we moved into our victorian house, the attic was like playing minesweeper.
Ah yeah l, I’ve added noggins beneath joins to help sure it up. In theory it should be moisture resistant but I’ll add a barrier beneath the carpets as well
Great to see you working on it, I was wondering how it's been going. Keep up the good work man!
Thank you! I held off on updates for a while with lots of work delays but getting back into it now ✨
Great to see the progress. It's a huge commitment and takes patience but you are doing it!
Thanks Paul! The next year should be a big step forward
That is some beautiful bricks at the start
Perlin noise doing some heavy lifting there
cool to see progress! If someone gives you 110k, gimme some 10k please, makes me happy as well :) All the best erin!
Thank you! It’s turning into a long process
You know even if it ends up costing more, something its worth because it's less upfront.
This video is a game_changer! _ "Believe in yourself, and you're halfway there.."
We've just ripped out the old kitchen and have been rendering the (very out of plum) walls and corners as well. Not as falling apart as yours, but similar feeling of having to spend so much extra time fixing up every little piece. Thanks for taking us along with you :)
Have you been tracking your progress somewhere? I love seeing people’s home projects
Wobbly wood in a home is my favourite kind
writing this while I don't know if I'll watch the full vid but I want to shout keep those nails, you can still melt them and pour a sculpture or so :) I wish I had such nails with history for that :) congrats on that warm roof. seems cozy :) I'll just leave this here, to help you plan some more, you put electricity, when you are content with the form of your walls, not with the finish, you could put some styrofoam onto the walls for isolation or some gypsium cardboard or plywood on racks stuff and isolation behind.you can drill into that after mounting it to make the hole for sockets and with some more or less fiddeling put cables in, or scrape that cable path into the styrofoam (but you need some mesh stuff over those holes and gypsium or so) before finishing with plaster or cool wood or victoran wallpapers, but when finishing that wall you need to be finished with cables and socket already. and in that stage it is probably good to take care of those ceiling lights. you can fiddle in that cable already and have enough left dangling around the wall no matter what you do with that. Having the long cable along the room and down one floor at least (to the fuse box) in the ceiling already before stuffing it up would have made things easier I guess, so keep that in mind when closing the walls. You can still go along the wall now to the other end and then up to the ceiling when that is easier to reach the spot where you want a ceiling light. just have 2 different circuits for lamps and sockets and thus 2 different fuses in the fusebox. For the actual final fusebox connection I'd pay an electrician if you don't know what you are doing, but just laying the cables in the walls is what you can do as well and not having to pay the electrician. and you can probably get it to work to test it without killing yourself by just screwing on a plug towards(!) the fusebox and testing it in the ground floor sockets if there is electricity down there.
Thanks! Roof is definitely a big step up from where it was a year ago! I had an electrician lay in cables for the top floor but seeing what they did, I think I'll try and do it for the rest and then, like you said, just have him back to sign it off and check it's safe. Actually cutting the boxes into the walls and cutting cables to length seems like something I shouldn't be paying someone's time for 😅
Ey, well done on getting the window in, those bricks looked awful. And thank you for leaving the peelies in.
Thanks! I’m definitely looking forward (apprehensively) to getting all the render off next summer to see what state the rest of the wall is in. That’s going to be the make or break information for the whole project 🥹
Keep up the great work! As someone whose hobbies are also mostly in the virtual space, it's refreshing to see you tackle this enormous project.
Thanks so much! It'll take some time but it's a worthwhile project
These are great to watch - you're doing good work, keep at it!
Thanks so much!
Alternative Title: Creating a makeshift greenhouse in your top floor :D Love how far you already came in just 3 months!
Glad to see the roof is in order! I'm very excited to see those big layout changes next!
You had me at “tree growing in my chimney.” Lol!!! That’s crazy.
Haha yeah I despair 😂 My roofer should be taking it down next month if the weather stays good!
Congrats on the purchase! It's quite a project for sure and will probably look amazing in the end. Aren't you a bit concerned about working on it though, seems like such an old house might contain asbestos, lead or arsenic wallpaper?
Thanks! I haven't found any asbestos yet and the others I'm not too worried about, I've removed the lead etc. By the time I'm living there, every surface will have been renewed anyway so it should be child and pet safe 😁
Also a great episode of: There is a slug in my wall and a tree growing in my chimney 🤣🤣
My eyes widened so hard as you start to peel the plaster just right of xD that was unexpected 👀
Haha yeah it's really not so well stuck on any more 😅
The door corner at 8:13 is adorable 😆
right?! I was so happy when I noticed it
being waterproof from above is way better than leaking from above :) Have you considered doing some 3d scans of the current state and then when you think it is finished do another scan and then do some 3d trickery with that to present the progress? or camera tracking with a recording of the finished house and overlaying the old scan over that with the cam movement or so. That should be cool...
Thanks! Yeah I should have 3D scanned it when it was full of stuff... I definitely want to scan it so I can do the design development though so I need to grab an iphone for the lidar
@@erinovate better do it now before it progresses even more. you can always throw in some junk again for the scan lol. well, you could cheat and add that in 3d as well, that what it's good for :)
Murder basement
You should have seen it with the meat hooks and the bones 😵
That Basement really isnt a good one for claustrophobics :D Hope you dont bang your head anywhere!
It used to have meat hooks hanging down at exactly eye level 😅 I think it'll make a good workshop for sitting down activities like wood turning etc
Love to see these updates. Keep going!
Thanks! It's going to be a long project so it's cool to have these to look back on
you know what they say, it's a small step from vlogging about hoarder houses to your first onlyFans account...😁
Watch this space 👀
This was super interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes together. The walkthrough of the house was quite shocking but you have a lot of space to grow into there. 💪🎉
Thanks, Curtis! Definitely a fun project to get my teeth into
Holy sh*t... Crazy to think people lived there. Be careful about any insect pests they have left behind.. You will definitely need help cleaning all this out and making repairs. Hire a professional for the really dirty jobs. Good luck, this is a long project for sure, but it can be turned around to be a beautiful place. Nice sink though 😅
Thank you! I definitely underestimated how much time I was going to spend on the phone with contractors trying to get people to help 😅
Like you said in the video, fascinating but tragic that people lived there! Hopefully you'll be able to turn the house into an actual home within a reasonable time 😄
Xmas '24 is my target for having a kitchen, office, and bedroom all done 🤞
Exciting! Also just purchased a home with my partner a couple of weeks ago. The first trip to the hardware store to buy supplies for all of the little projects around the place was very exciting. Nothing quite like being able to trill holes in your own walls after renting for so long!
Congrats!! Yeah it's surreal. Has it sunk in yet that that's *your* house yet?
@@erinovate not quite yet! Ours came with a few less holes in the wall than yours. Put up my first shelves and not having to worry how I'm going to fix it all at the end of the rental is a really great feeling
First of congrats on getting a house at around 27 yo :D Second I love the Idea of not seeing it as a home to just buy and live in but a project to renovate and as a challenge.
I grew up with DIY so I don't think I could have a house I didn't modify 😅 This one just had so much potential
Very, very interesting! The similarities are unexpected as far as the process. I like the safeguards built into that system. This has legs! Run with it!!
