One thing that concerns me is that the existing joists were clearly providing lateral support to the walls, this is confirmed by the stub joists into the front, and presumably, the rear walls of the building. By taking the joists out completely before re-installing the new ones would have risked the walls' stability. This is even more important at the upper level where the roof creates a thrust at the top of the wall. Also, the building in of the original joists would have enhanced that stability and using joist hangers won't provide that. I presume that you have discussed this with your structural engineer and are working to his advice?
We celebrate our 44th anniversary today. My wife is much like Marion. She was ‘press ganged’ into being my apprentice to do our restoration. I have most of the ideas but couldn’t see them through without her. A good team. Thank you Hazel.
It's great to see the team working together. This was your best vlog yet, thanks Looking forward to more Ps. I recommend the book 'Feel the fear and do it anyway'
I think you cut the old joist tight as possible then get about a 1-1/4 auger bit on a hole hawg type drill, bury the auger once or twice then chisel inward towards the void you just created. This is the wood joists in the brick/rock.
Penetrating oil or eventually gas torch is what you need for stuck bolts. Regular WD40 won’t do much (though there are penetrating oils sold under the same brand name now)
All prepped and ready to go! Some lovely bits of wood. If you need the space you could always lay the beams on the ground as a temporary floor. Did you consider fewer larger old looking beams for cosmetic effect, I wonder ? Very expensive, I guess.
Not the way I would have done things, but I am not you. My way would have been to 'sister board' the existing joist. Maybe even triple it. Anyway, your house, your way.
I don't know why you are not redoing the whole floors with steel joists connected with short wooden joists with noggings? It's a permanent solution for flat floors...
@@andrewlarking7492 That's a real shame. How did you glue? Did you glue to the joists or just the joint between the panels? In my previous house the cracking noise of the boards really got to me. I even avoided walking in areas of the room that made the most noise. When my new house was being built I quizzed the builder over and over about this and he said he alway screwed and glued and he guaranteed there wouldn't be any creaking - he was right. Anyway I really enjoy your videos so keep up the good work.
You lost me. Stovepipes have been installed through existing floors and roofs for many, many decades, centuries even. So I don't understand why that determined your schedule of building? You even have the choice of building the floors around the chimney if you so desire.
Thanks for the great videos, I am doing a similar renovation. Could you let me know what materials you decided to go with on the floor and what sizes the beams were? I have a room with a similar size that also needs a new floor.
Nice job with the demo. I'll suggest storing the apparently good joists on the ground floor on blocks. That timber once cleaned up would likely make a beautiful open staircase. Build a tidy stack, elevated off the dirt floor and keep an airspace against a dry wall so it does not come in contact with damp. If you question the 'look' or character of the wood, use an orbital sander with coarse paper just to clean up a bit of surface and apply a little water. That will quickly approximate the loo of the wood with a clear stain. You may have some oak and chestnut timber that is priceless today (think the rebuilding of Notre-Dame). I see you moved the joists outside. As long as they are stored off the ground, neatly stacked and securely tarped, they will not deteriorate. If you find one that is especially deteriorated, pll it out of the pile and put is far away from the sound timber. 👍
You two are amazing…..an excellent team. Personally, I love your house as it is now…..all of that old stone! But I have no doubt that it will be beautiful, sturdy and very functional when completed.
I would have done one floor at a time mate. Keep that lateral support in place. Dont mean to sound preachy but you really need a pair of good quality hard hats too. One of those joists smashing you the head is not something anyone wants to see happen.
JOIST another day in the home renovation project. Two and a half tons wow WOODEN want to move that every day, as it would definitely FLOOR me. but you and maid marion coped admirably.
What a lovely manner you have with explaining your work. What a joy to follow your progress and I look forward to learning from you in how to overcome challenges, I wish you well on your journey and rest assured I will be following your progress. best of luck to you both

You should have left the joists in and installed new ones alongside or beefed up the existing with steel plates also listening to you is soporific
You're a lucky guy that you got a 'girl' like Marion! She's really a big help! 🎉

Congratulations
Great team work
Another job done. The fun will be inserting and fixing the new joists,look forward to that, well done both. Regards.
It's great to see the team working together.
This was your best vlog yet, thanks
Looking forward to more

Phew! Saves on a gym membership! Well done🎉❤🎉.
Great Sunday video! Excellent progress. Looking forward to your next video.

Old rusty screws and bolts Give them a good hammering it breaks the corrosion which bonds the parent material Ex maint Fitter

Au moins l'humour est saufe... Bravo pour ce petit intermède
Great teamwork, but who is cooking the salad-soup in the meantime?
The wooden beams did not look that bad in the video.
Not the way I would have done things, but I am not you. My way would have been to 'sister board' the existing joist. Maybe even triple it. Anyway, your house, your way.
do the top first replace the joist as there wont be any thing in the way do half the top so that you can store the roof insolation
My goodness those beams looked very heathy, are you gonna reuse them again if the opportunity presented itself?
I don't know why you are not redoing the whole floors with steel joists connected with short wooden joists with noggings? It's a permanent solution for flat floors...
Are you going to screw and glue the floor panels? I highly recommend glue otherwise the creaking/cracking boards will send you crazy.
We screwed and glued and it creaks so much. No idea why.

Looking forward to seeing this build as it has seemed to find its second gear .Well done
U 2 are GREAT!
Lovely video! You may need to make the joist holes larger to insert the new ones! Cheers 😊
Try heat on the screws not budging, a hairdryer might work!?
Love the updates…
LOL When Marion was counting the joist hangers I started counting with her... Not bad for 2 years of high school French.
JOIST another day in the home renovation project. Two and a half tons wow WOODEN want to move that every day, as it would definitely FLOOR me. but you and maid marion coped admirably.

You should seriously consider doing audio book narration in 'all your spare time'. Lol. Your voice is so soothing.
Great teamwork guys. Looking forward to the next update!
