    As a french I support this kind of project. No matter how you paid it, you give value to this house and this village with this work. Instead of letting this house decay, it will now be used.
    I bought a similar building and paid about 200€/sqm, now 3 people are living in my 3 appartements.

    My family bought an old house every year to renovate and this is pretty much what we did.

Sometimes we even bought apartment hotels, apartment houses, you name it!!!!

      It's wood floors covered with packed dirt and tiles on top of the dirt. I believe it was for sound dampening and insulation. There was much less likely to be a fire as long as the chimneys were cleaned or lightning didn't strike. Actually, practically impossible for a fire to start if a fire spilled onto the tiles.

    Amazing work so far! I’d recommend wearing an actual respirator though while working. Those paper masks are better than nothing but not the best protect you can get. Also some eye wear. For your hammer drill, there are wider bits would allow for you to take a bigger section of the plaster off

  • @jamesbaker429
    @jamesbaker429 หลายเดือนก่อน +39

    Ryan you will have to reinstate the walls on the stairs as they make a fire wall for the only way out in emergency,lots of rot but still surprisingly strong the ancient timbers,wall insulation will be needed to make the damp home warm to modern standards so removing all the wall plaster will maximise the room sizes ,removing the chimney stack will be a big plus to room size on all floors a modern stove and flue could heat the whole house easily just use an original fire surround as a design feature.if you could engineer a flat roof over the kitchen ,wc it would give a terrace and outside space a plus to the home value .

      It' you who are crazy, the stair are more than 15000, in France it's normaly houses whith only one floor, the stair are "rare" and in my country more a house or furniture is old more the price is high (if the product is in good condition of course). For comparison, the stair that I am in the process of building cost more than 10000 and it's "modern" (and therefore less expensive because more common)

    As a French person I've also always lowkey fantasized about buying a old house and renovating it, but at the same time the practical and number oriented part of my brain tells me it would probably not be that much cheaper than just buying a comparable house that's already been renovated or even just demolishing everything and starting from scratch. I have a few people in my family that bought this type of houses and the money they've spent in them with the years is insane. Instead of buying a 100k house from 1880 and spending 150k in renovations just to end up with a house still from 1880 that has the looks and the weird, claustrophobic room layouts that come with it I'd rather just buy a 250k house or appartment built this century that needs zero renovation.

      @@CarolLoch-ww7po I do understand your point as I myself fix and restore old clocks but this is on another level. My wife's sister bought an old house and the amount she put in is insane. I think it depends of the person, if you can do a lot by yourself and have fun at the same time then it's great but if you need to pay for most of the stuff, work, take care of your family then it won't be a pleasure.

    We did this in our present house. I literally had exhaustion flashbacks when I was watching you sweep up and bag all the garbage! Of course our house wasn't that old and while we replaced everything else we didn't have to replace floor beams! We did it on nights and weekends while we lived in a trailer with our very young children! This was so wonderful to watch. Hard work but SO worth it!

    Who ever did the editing on this episode deserves an Editing OsCaR, the pace, the banter, speeding up for effect, and then occasionally throwing in “the home i am renovating in rural France”. Reminds me of the movies of the l930’s, keystone cops, etc. Hope you get all the followers you deserve, your views increase and your coffers fill, so that you can bring your lovely bride home to France ASAP, and fill this space with laughter and love and little feet.

    Too late for this admonission, but,. Be careful of the extent and structural integrity of what IS still standing. An instance: The floor beams of the attic are not just flor beams. They are the collar ties for the roof. If you take all of them out at the same time, the roof may collapse. Roofs are normally supported one of two ways. From the brief view, when your camera swung upward you may have a blend of the two ways. Those ways are either a structural top ridge beam that all the rafters rest against and are supported by that central roof beam that spans from a secure support at each end. The second method is the use of collar ties,, usually the attic floor or top floor ceiling. IF this is the method that secures the roof, then you replace them one or two at a time. A reasonable method might be a two step , Replace every other one and then go back through and replace the ones you skipped. The collar ties have thrust in two separate directions,, BOTH directions must be secure. Colloar ties are well fastened, nailed or bolted to the rafter tails to prevent spreading, and they must be of suitable size to span and hold whatever weight is intended for them
    In the main body of the house if you remove all the floor joists at the same time, the outer walls can become dangerously unstable, they can bow in or out. Considering the extremely durable materials and mortars (not) of the rest of the house,, Please do one floor at a time. Similar to collar ties,, floor beam do two jobs, Keep the walls stable and support you and your mates walking on the floors.
    I DID notice at the extraction of one of the beams from the wall socket. That beam had no fire cut on the end. Beam ends should have a bevel cut so that IF the bean fails in the middle,, because of rot or fire, the falling beam does not lever the side walls to fall in on themselves. Read and understand before you replace the floor beams.
