  • While it's a wonderful week of progress at our stone home renovation, it's a bittersweet one, too. As Michael gets to work installing the new floor joists he has to remove the rickety, rustic staircase we've all got a bit of a soft spot for. But, this has only made us more determined to put it to good use somewhere else.

    A while ago you were asking why people is subscribing to your Vlog, for us it is very simple you are both such delightful what make it some easy to select "subscribed". We love to see what you are up to, and the dogs, it is always interesting, and presented with beautiful video of nature, and that great sense of humour you are showing. from a old couple from Canada and now in Panama. Sending you a bit of hot sun from here to help you to stay warm. Can wait to see that baby, the most future luckiest child to have you as parents.

    If you can’t use the stairs as stairs then they’ll look great on the wall too as a nod to their former function. Like I said when you asked for ideas, the bookshelf or shelf shelf at half width will look great and be very useful. Imagine sanded and polished!

  • @davidstoddard9160
    @davidstoddard9160 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Might be much better to make I-beams and that would allow you to run your existing wood the other direction and that way still have good wood after cutting the rotten parts off.

  • @y.lelivelt2619
    @y.lelivelt2619 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    All the old houses have rotten wood and also they have woodworm.
    I'm glad you use lime because that's the best for natural stone houses. I know cement is much cheaper but the stones can't breath then and thats necessary for them.
    This is a lot of work to do, especially when you are on your own.
    But you did an awesome job with the beams.

    I really think you are doing a great job, the house is getting more and beautiful and you seem so committed!!! I just want to give a small, hopefully not too negative feedback : I personally feel that the music that is used for the fast motion does not support the otherwise very professional video making and presentation. Of course that’s a personal opinion but I’d be very happy to see you play around and try some other music one day 😉 and if not, that’s perfectly fine as well of course!
