OH NO! #TVTOOHIGH! Love the content and Love the entire reno. I always get excited when I see an upload from you. You can hang your TV as high as you want LOL! I recommend lowering it to eye level while sitting on the couch though. You are truly an inspiration! I wish I had the drive to accomplish a project like this. The absolute mountain of skill you have had to acquire for this project is insane! Not only have you learned all of this as you go, you have taught me while you did it too!! Keep on keep'n on friend!
@@loopinnerthe I think what you said is very rude. I personally would not want to be on TH-cam and have strangers make such comments about me. Maybe its hard for you to see her perspective. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think she, like most women today would not like to be objectified like that. Have a nice day.
That tool you are using to click them together is called baksmälla in Swedish. The same word for hangover. I'm used silicon at the passing between tiles and wood in my kitchen. The passing is frequently used since 2008 and is still working. I putted oak-floor in all my ground floor from kitchen into living room and to the hall and then to the hallway. It was many walls to fit with not to narrow pieces. It draw it in my CAD first so I could start with a suitable floor piece and then could later fit in to all the walls.
Yup - that heating is really simple - I did mine my self (licensed electrician came at the end and checked everything and gave me green light to turn it on). I am very happy to see your progress.
Wow, Alex the progress is insane, I am about to start my own renovation of an apt where my family has lived in for 87 years. Just packing has been taking weeks.
14:04 You say you think it's going to take 1-2 days but instead it takes 1-2 weeks. Making videos/documenting what you're doing definitely slows things down tremendously. So it's no surprise ;)
I understand the transition! I installed 2500 sq ft of floating flooring in an entire house with no transitions! It took two weeks and a lot of measuring. Lasers are a must! What I found out was my house sits on the foundation out of square! Wall are not straight even if they look like they are! 😆
Amazing job! I LOVE what you and your girlfriend are doing with this apartment! You two have great taste! I'm always so impatient for new videos of you!
It's amazing how well you guys are working out this apartment and turning it into a home. I discovered your videos when I started my own furniture business, and since then, you've been such an inspiration for me, to keep working and make better projects. Don't know you, but I'm very happy for both of you that you're making such great progress with your future home
Looks great! I had no idea that there was specific flooring designed for herring bone pattern. I've done floating flooring before but there were a lot of tips you packed in that I had never thought of. Thanks for sharing!
It’s looking fantastic Alex, well done on the flooring 👍 I think the thing about expecting things to take less time is true of many DIY magicians, we always think about timescales from what we have heard or have been told but these times are for professional workmen to do the job, not for people who have never fitted flooring or only once or twice, and you doing the herring bone pattern you had to do probably and extra couple of hundred cut or so. So kudos for doing it in the time you did 😊👍😎
I have no idea why I'm watching a Norwegian couple renovating their flat, but I'm super hooked, lol! Keep it up, guys, you're so close! (or it looks like it, he, he).
I'm super emotionally invested in this series! It's so amazing to see the progress. And it's a lot of inspiration for when I might get a new apartment myself!
I regrated installing the same type of floor heating !!! Using them is WAAAY more expensive then a simple airconditioning running non stop, so now, i just use the airconditioning and my floor is cold ! Make sure you have an alternative !!!!
I have a question. Why electrical heating? One benefit with the typical water based heating is the passive heat the concrete and water will give off even with the heating turned off. In my Home, we essentially turn off the hole house heating when we are not home and the temperature doesn't drop for days. Electrical heating seems a bit expensive for heating over the winter. Still AWESOME work. More people have to put effort into learning skills for home renovation like you do. I grew up in a household where we do most stuff ourselves, and I find it builds confidants and teaches Problem-solving. Things missing in many these days.
Before Putin invaded Ukraine, electricity in Norway was very cheap so electrical heating was the preferred method to heat your floors. There were still water based heating installed, but it was typically used in bigger projects.
@@Atlantisxx also if you look at the first few episodes of this series you can see that this floor is not at all suitable for water based floor heating and would require way more work to get that installed
@@DeadlyMitten way? you can get water based floor heating that is only something like15mm in height and made to be but straight on the osb subfloor he have
@@fromaflafl2198 The house is insulated with dirt between each apartment. If you accidentally have a water leak in those type of houses. Ya are in a loooot of trouble. So it is safer and cheaper to just go Electrical and not have to worry about potential leaks as a DIY. EDIT: Basically, before the leak is discovered. All the dry dirt would be saturated and swell to a degree that makes the floor weight a lot heavier not to mention, spread the moisture around all wood beams. Etc. Unless a company takes the blame for the installation, he... as a DIY, wouldn't do it. Just not safe or sane.
It is amazing idea having radiant floor heating system by yourself. Will you make one year review of the floor and heating? I appreciate your work. Currently, I'm planning to have a floor heating system with tile entire house. Which could be taking more time and money. I'd like to decide after your one year experience.
I'm so happy for you getting to spot that you have something semi finished, aka a place to relax. you're close but I'd say you have another 3-4 months, so be strong it's almost over. And most importantly be patient with yourselves, if it was easy people wouldn't hire others to do it for them.
That looks amazing! After 8 months it’s definitely coming along really nicely. Really excited for you and your girlfriend to finally have a finished apartment!
Absolutely loving this series! The perseverance and willingness to learn and try is a real inspiration. I'm super pumped to reno the ground floor of our house - just need to convince my partner that it'll be worth living in a building site for a while 😅. One question though: Did you fully plan out the whole reno before you started, or have you kind of developed your ideas as you've worked through it?
Very cool video Alex, im only a little bit concerned that you didnt go to a floo heating utilising a heat pump wich has 3 times the efficiency of simple resistive heating
@@petpaltea There are indoor monoblocks which only need some pipes to the outside. But even those take up quite a bit of space and I believe the pipes cannot be too long. So probably also not an option here if we look at this appartement.
Great video! Looking forward to do some floor laying in the future. You can use a cork strip for the transition between the different floors. Looks good and compresses if needed.
starting to look so good 😁😁 can you do a video in a few years with anything you'd do differently / wish was different about the property / building regs?
Would love to know if you could have two separate zones of electric floor heating in the same room. I know it is already done but it could've been handy to allow you to heat the area by the sofa independently of the kitchen.
I love your videos, I am a little bit sad you are so close to finishing it up :D Great job. I was renovating my apartment and from 3 months estimate it was more than a 1 year of work :D Still some details missing... :D
I must say I really enjoy the videos you have been doing on the apartment. I look forward to the next update! Did you install the new bathroom sink yet?
Just wondering why there is no foil layer underneath to reflect the heat upwards? Herringbone, you just had to make your life more difficult. Floor down! From now on... "mind the floor!". Thank you for this series it is so engaging and fascinating. When the apartment is done I have no belief that you will just settle into it. I bet you start another one within a year.
You only do a plastic foil layer underneath if it is a linoleum floor, because of the danger of gas buildup from the heat or if it is a "wet room" as we call it in our rule book for electrical code.
How much kWH will this use? I think electric heating makes sense in a small bathroom, but not in the whole apartment. A heat pump would be much more efficient. that being said, i really enjoy this series 😃 /
Looks amazing!! Great work!! ❤ could you tell me what the name of the tool you used for tapping the tiles together is called and where to get one? I haven’t been able to find it online and didn’t see a link in your description. Thanks.
I recently found your channel after buying an old apartment myself in Stockholm. Any chance you could do a price break down? After about 3 months of DYI renovations i've realized i'm gonna spend like 50k Euro more than i originally though, haha.
As a floorlayer for 20+ years, I commend you on a job well done. Absolutely love this series!
Looking after this updates more often than I'm looking for my paychecks....
😂😂😂😂😂
Much less disappointing than my paycheck

About the tv
Holy moly what a transition!
I am impressed how you managed to make one of the difficult floor patterns look soo good without experience.
This series quickly became a favorite of mine to tune into, and the progress is incredible! Fantastic work, it's coming along beautifully!
It's a labour of love, and as you're putting in a ton of effort, you'll love it all that much more when it's done.

Dude you did such a nice job on this, absolutely love it!!

It feels like every video I am astonished as to how many layers there are. They just keep coming and never end.

That jump onto the couch has to be wildly satisfying. To go from 8 months ago to now. The whole place redone and a new couch to jump on. So cool!!!!
Home sweet home... What a journey to get to this point! Congrats
I don't understand the patience and energy levels of this man. I'm exhausted just watching lol
I love this series so much, it's so inspiring, I cant wait to do something similar one day
This has been one of the most satisfying series I've watched, thank you!
Whoa, it’s getting to the nitty gritty now…… keep motivated!!!!

Great work with the saws! The flooring turned out neat!
Starting to look like a living space. Excellent.
What an amazing journey! Can't wait to see it when it is all done. Congrats in advance.
Living room looks great!

Have loved the build so far. Nice to see a fellow nerd putting all the cool tech in and still doing it themselves.

the couch space looks soo good🔥

Super stoked for you two. Looks amazing. Congratulations
The floor looks beautiful. Great choice, and top work making it look so sharp!
Really good looking floor man. Congrats.
And yea, a herring bone pattern is such a chore to lay.
Man, this series is so fun and satisfying to watch! Always looking forward to the next worrisome.
Looking forward to more progress. Take your time and enjoy it, but do share it with us when you're ready!
Wow love to see all your progress, how did you end up choosing this brand type of heating system? How energy efficient is it?
Amazing transformation. When you’re done, a nice little vacation is due.
It is really funny to see the flooring you picked, as it is made by a small German company that I worked for in the holidays when I was younger :)
You are a master craftsman!!
The herringbone pattern definitely slowed things down, but totally worth it! Looks great!
Awesome! I use electrical floor heating in my home office and very happy with it.
constantly great videos. Stole some your ideas for my apartment :)
Looks beautiful man. Hard work paying off.

Probably he had nowhere to put external unit. Old houses/apartments problem...
@@petpaltea There are indoor monoblocks which only need some pipes to the outside. But even those take up quite a bit of space and I believe the pipes cannot be too long. So probably also not an option here if we look at this appartement.
It is possible to have one unit for the whole building. That would be the best
@@MuerteDiablo But for those the efficiency drops, to like 200%.
I love this series. You two are doing great!!
I kinda like the yellow floor.
Great video! Looking forward to do some floor laying in the future.
You can use a cork strip for the transition between the different floors. Looks good and compresses if needed.
starting to look so good 😁😁
can you do a video in a few years with anything you'd do differently / wish was different about the property / building regs?
Nice flooring - good choice! Your apartment looks fabulous.
Use cork liquid sealant for the filling
Amazing work! Greetings from Poland! 😊
Would love to know if you could have two separate zones of electric floor heating in the same room. I know it is already done but it could've been handy to allow you to heat the area by the sofa independently of the kitchen.
Wow ,congrat Alex.👍

Amazing before watching ❤
Back to the shop already please.
Nice work, thanks for fun.
Congrats! It's looking really good!!!
This is infinitely smarter than the DITRA-HEAT system.
I must say I really enjoy the videos you have been doing on the apartment. I look forward to the next update! Did you install the new bathroom sink yet?
Awesome content! Loving the series.
where's that awesome couch from?
What a awesome journey this is!
It's looking fantastic there, Alexandre! Great choice of the wood! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Hi Alex, looks good! Keep the great work Iove this series of video!
Great work, i love your living room 😊

Do you have a link to the slid hammer you've got?
So close to turning into a lovely home!! 👍👌
AWESOME!!! Where did you get the couch?
How much kWH will this use? I think electric heating makes sense in a small bathroom, but not in the whole apartment. A heat pump would be much more efficient.
that being said, i really enjoy this series 😃 /
Those foils are usually either 60 or 80W/m^2. So I'd guess somewhere between 2-3kW for the living room in his case.
Hello, Do we need a moisture resistant insulation? The yellow thing you have.. is it moisture resistant? Can you please share the link? Thanks
Looks amazing!! Great work!! ❤ could you tell me what the name of the tool you used for tapping the tiles together is called and where to get one? I haven’t been able to find it online and didn’t see a link in your description. Thanks.
So you have a Link to the woodfloor? Looks super nice & my wife and i are searching for a floor right now.
Looks great. ✌️
Amazing job on the floor …. But more importantly is I saw SONOS❤
That was A LOT of work but it looks amazing!
Can you put that over wood subfloor? I'm removing my carpet but need to heat the floor.
Love the video, the floor looks amazing.
What is the device you used to lock the flooring together?
I recently found your channel after buying an old apartment myself in Stockholm. Any chance you could do a price break down?
