As I watch each episode Louis personality comes across more and more. What a great guy he is. He’s not a natural,on camera like Milly but when he’s on his expertise explaining stuff he’s amazing. Not given to giving bouquets but all the hard work these two put in they deserve applauding. 👏🏽👏🏽
I never usually leave comments but have binged all your videos and have to ask - what do the two of you do for your main jobs? You are so skilled and knowledgable, and seem to have an amazing amount of time to spend on the reno!
As someone who did this at your age … love seeing your adventures… Louie is such a talented man he just gets in, does all the things, hasn’t murdered anyone (I often try) & tackles it all with patience! You’re a great couple love it!
I know I have said this before but it doesnt hear to repeat it Yu guys are doing such a fantastic job, and it's so refreshing for an old git like me to see young people WANTING to renovate and preserve on old property 😍
Hi guys, I must say your stonemason is an artist, and with Louis prep work he was a great apprentice, all that work was excellent progress, congratulations on the work thus far, best regards to you both, from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
I love watching you guys, it’s fascinating and you, Milly, are absolutely hilarious. The bit when Louis tells you not to touch the resin, but you’ve already done it, then watching you look around for somewhere to wipe it whilst he carries on oblivious, literally made me laugh out loud. I look forward to each and every episode, you’re a delight the pair of you. I thoroughly approve of all the works you’ve done so far. Xx
Hi Milly & Louis 😊 I came across your channel by accident, and I am so glad that I did. I am absolutely loving following you and seeing your stories. I think you are an amazing couple, and I cannot wait for your next installment. Love from Northumberland ❤
That’s so funny seeing that long drill bit 🤣, my husband actually works down the road from the Villa and we live in an old stone house, any person who comes here to work comes equipped with a massive drill bit 🤷♀️ 🤣, I’ve been really enjoying your videos, lovely to see this old building brought back to life 😊 xx
Another fascinating episode, you’re both so authentic and hilarious, I think that’s my favourite thing. As much as I like the renovation and find it interesting. You to are a great team to watch, such hard workers. ❤
Love your videos. Think you two are talented in a variety of ways. Enough so as to motivate me to make this, only my 3rd TH-cam comment in the last 3 years! You have charming personalities, how nicely you interact with one another, how you narrate what you are doing, and of course your skills in renovating. Hope to view many more videos and see your dream house fully finished. Here in the United States I don't see many historic homes being restored especially by amateurs.
I so love the music you play. It sounds like the blue grass from my home state of Kentucky in the US. I look forward to every week your latest project. My husband and I built our own home when we were about your age. It was hard work but we enjoyed most of it. Lol
Love this.. I have an Kensington blue stone victorian house with bow ties etc in Australia… I’m addicted …. So impressed.. keep up the incredible work. 🙌🙌
Hello, I just saw one of your shorts pop up, this is something I'd have loved to have done in my younger years. New sub from Wigan. Going to have to go back now and watch from the start 👍.
I’m so pleased you work in inches as well as mils, as an oldie I understand so much easier. I loved watching the mason work, I have an idea now of what my grandfather did.
It's all so impressive. I hope all goes well. I believe you all will have a wonderful, beautiful home. Amen excited to see it finished. God bless you both.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
❤❤ Love the series. So lucky to find a stone mason. Your stone mason John is a master stone mason and I am sure you had enough work to keep him busy for a while. You two are brave to take on this endeavor of rehab of this house you intend to live in. Do you intend to name it? Take care and stay safe. ❤❤
My 100+ year old elementary school's front and back walls were leaning outward and had to be pulled back together by driving a huge bolts through the entire building. But instead of an odd looking cross they used large rosettes.
So you just appeared on my feed and i enjoyed you both so much i went back and binge watched every vlog , you are both amazing and you rub off of each other so well keep the vlogs coming and take care , oh and i did subscribe ❤
This is just a suggestion but for the windows you discovered, you could put stain glass in them with a light behind it. Simple stain glass designs are not hard to make yourself. They would look nice giving lovely glowing colors.
Realmente les felicito por su gran esfuerzo, pero reúnan a sus amigos los fines semana proponga les que les colaboren para terminar un ambiente. Eso estimula mucho
Wow, now I understand why this work doesn't get done on some buildings that need it. It's intense and expensive unless you can do it yourself, and even then it's not cheap! Having to pay tenants for displacement in apartment blocks is also an issue. We've had several older buildings "collapse" in the last few years in the US, where the fascia bricks came away. Scary!
It’s scary how smoothly and quickly the meter long bit went through that wall, controlling for video editing. I just drilled one inch holes in mortar last weekend, and it was a lot harder than that. I used an impact driver and a quarter inch concrete bit.
Stone masonry looks great. glad the window masonry is now secured. The tie rods and resin are great. Are you putting in gas heating or bore hole ground source? period cast iron radiators?
On the Bedroom dressing room opening - keep 450mm os so either side so not just the quoins but a bit of the stonework as well? Right hand side shows what you should retain. I think showing just the quoins won't show it off fully,
Incredible series, stone construction is such a different world to what I know of lumber builds! I’ve been curious since you started to address the sagging wall facade, do the anchors and fixes you are doing pull the facade back to the wall or do they simply stop it from slumping more?? Also to echo many others, the dynamic you two have is so good and comes across really well on camera, wishing you all the success from Canada 😄😄
Oh and was linked here through another channel I came across recently, so shoutout to @ChrisHytha and his series too youtube.com/@chrishytha?si=3urZdRK0WRODFAff
I worry a bit about that little blower being effective enough. To get it properly clean I think you'd need a compressor to generate proper pressures and air velocity to clear out the dust. I'm sure it's still secure though, way more than it was before!
Look forward to your video every week I have pass the house many times, I know the hardest part is editing to get the video out being a photographer myself, if you need any photography work done please let me know as I am only in Bridgend ❤❤❤
Could you please share where you sourced the tie rods and the resin? We might need to go through the same process for a house in Uplands. Did you get specialist advice for this and if so could you recommend a company?
I just gotta say that you’re stonemason is unbelievable. This is this is an understatement of a skill levels.
Agreed! He’s amazingly skilled, knowledgable and such a nice guy!
He really is! Watching this transformation is incredible!
Artist
Hi guys love the video s you both are doing a great job have a lovely week 😊😊😊
Your facial expression and moment of pause standing there looking for somewhere to wipe your finger off was precious. Made my day. ☺️
Same, absolutely hilarious moment 😂
Laughed out loud when you poked your finger in the resin then looked for somewhere to wipe it. 😂 Love the videos guys keep them coming 👏🏽

Respect for Louis. He is a builder.
As someone who did this at your age … love seeing your adventures… Louie is such a talented man he just gets in, does all the things, hasn’t murdered anyone (I often try) & tackles it all with patience! You’re a great couple love it!

Yu guys are doing such a fantastic job, and it's so refreshing for an old git like me to see young people WANTING to renovate and preserve on old property 😍
Louis: no don’t touch it, I don’t want you to get it all over your fingers…
Millie on the other side of the wall, with resin all over her fingers: 😳😬🫣
😂😂😂😂
This was my favorite part of the video. +100 comedy points!
Just wipe it on the scaffolding I'll be fineee!😂
Hi guys, I must say your stonemason is an artist, and with Louis prep work he was a great apprentice, all that work was excellent progress, congratulations on the work thus far, best regards to you both, from a Kiwi living in Australia, Les
Absolutely agree Les! And me too! I'm in Adelaide... Where are you?
@@lorenehughes hi Lorene, I am in Melbourne, have been here twenty years, cheers Les
Adelaide south @lorenehughes

Looks like your giving your house an acupuncture treatment.😂
It really does 😂
The stonemason is so talented; excellent job with securing the stonework.
Hi Milly & Louis 😊 I came across your channel by accident, and I am so glad that I did. I am absolutely loving following you and seeing your stories. I think you are an amazing couple, and I cannot wait for your next installment. Love from Northumberland ❤
What unbelievable fortune to have that stonework! It’s so beautiful!
That’s so funny seeing that long drill bit 🤣, my husband actually works down the road from the Villa and we live in an old stone house, any person who comes here to work comes equipped with a massive drill bit 🤷♀️ 🤣, I’ve been really enjoying your videos, lovely to see this old building brought back to life 😊 xx
The stone repair looks amazing, the craftsmanship is exceptional. I am heartened by the extra effort going into your renovation.
You guy’s are incredible. I love the Outtakes, it made me laugh out loud. Great job.

Thank you so much for such kind words! Really appreciate it. I feel very privileged that we were worthy of your third comment! 😊
I so love the music you play. It sounds like the blue grass from my home state of Kentucky in the US. I look forward to every week your latest project. My husband and I built our own home when we were about your age. It was hard work but we enjoyed most of it. Lol
Love this.. I have an Kensington blue stone victorian house with bow ties etc in Australia… I’m addicted …. So impressed.. keep up the incredible work. 🙌🙌
How odd to see this in a world of fast, fast, fast and instant gratification. Love it. ♥️
So excited to see the fine work done by all of you, but especially the fine craftsmanship of the stonemason!
Hello, I just saw one of your shorts pop up, this is something I'd have loved to have done in my younger years. New sub from Wigan. Going to have to go back now and watch from the start 👍.
Love watching you both your a lovely couple loving the workmanship and the music is also great xx
You two just get better and better ,Outstanding everything you touch looks amazing ,It like your bringing the house back to life .
Louis is a fast learner, the window and door look great. ❤
Amazing, love to these videos. The skill of the stonemasons are incredible.
Loving your progress, you two are amazing. Loved watching the stonemason...what a skill. 👏😍
I’m so pleased you work in inches as well as mils, as an oldie I understand so much easier. I loved watching the mason work, I have an idea now of what my grandfather did.
Really interesting watching the stone mason at work. Your videos are so well put together, very entertaining and informative 👍👏
I very much enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for keeping these short, sweet and interesting. I like seeing the progress.
💕Crack on your doing a great job so far💕Your stonemason is very knowledgeable & skilled💕
Very nice, it's lovely seeing the house come back to life.🤩
Love it, thankyou. The stone Mason is incredible and so interesting to watch. Resin on thy fingers. Dam you Louie for being right. 😅
It's all so impressive.
I hope all goes well. I believe you all will have a wonderful, beautiful home.
Amen excited to see it finished.
God bless you both.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great video!! Really enjoying watching you two fix this gorgeous old woman back to her glory!!
Fabulous!! I’m trying to decide if I’m brave enough to give it a go or get a builder in 😂
❤❤ Love the series. So lucky to find a stone mason. Your stone mason John is a master stone mason and I am sure you had enough work to keep him busy for a while. You two are brave to take on this endeavor of rehab of this house you intend to live in. Do you intend to name it? Take care and stay safe. ❤❤
So much time and work goes into what you can't see. Thank you for sharing this journey with us!
I love to watch your progress. Your dedication & hard work is to be applaud 🎉👏🏻👏🏻🍂
another super video you are both adorable and a joy to watch
Wow, the restoration work is going along well. I love that you have replaced some of the broken sandstone and it looks amazing.❤❤
I love your channel! So informative and really cool watching your progress. That house is going to be gorgeous. 🌸
My 100+ year old elementary school's front and back walls were leaning outward and had to be pulled back together by driving a huge bolts through the entire building. But instead of an odd looking cross they used large rosettes.
I love these videos... this 'aint cheap - it's amazing what young people can do when they come from a certain level of financial privilege.
So you just appeared on my feed and i enjoyed you both so much i went back and binge watched every vlog , you are both amazing and you rub off of each other so well keep the vlogs coming and take care , oh and i did subscribe ❤
I find your journey so inspiring. I am here for it all the way. Would love to visit the house when I am near. Finished or not finished.
Looks so great! I love seeing those stone walls, and it's a shame covering them up again, but I understand they're interior walls now...
Loving your progress! Amazing.❤
This is just a suggestion but for the windows you discovered, you could put stain glass in them with a light behind it. Simple stain glass designs are not hard to make yourself. They would look nice giving lovely glowing colors.
I think that is their plan. The window points? To the stairwell that goes to the basement/wine cellar so they were thinking of grapes? Maybe lol
Love your work and so interesting . The song choice is wonderful too.
The stone repair I’d great. It will be amazing when it is finis(Ed. ❤
😊the dressing room door is a gorgeous feature ❤
Realmente les felicito por su gran esfuerzo, pero reúnan a sus amigos los fines semana proponga les que les colaboren para terminar un ambiente. Eso estimula mucho
Looks fantastic. Really enjoyed listening to the music 👏👏
You 2 rock, lol, impressive work! Super excited for the end of this particular part of the project.
This pinning process is fricking fascinating!
Really appreciate your work 💪 Keep us updated!!
Great news that the outside is stable. Great update 2x👍
Big drill ☺🤣
Milly touching the resin 😂

I am absolutely addicted to this project!
Amazing choice of music in every video! ❤🎵😁
Absolutely lovely. It's gonna be so gorgeous when it's done!
I love the sound track.
I’m so glad! 🥰
Awe he is a Builder!! Great job you two!!
Fantastic progress folks 👏👏😎
Enjoying the music as well as the video. 👍
That stonemason reminded me of my Grandfather.....all work, all business, all the time.
Really enjoy watching your videos.
Actually having a stonemason is awesome! Very few of those around! Pura Vida from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Stone masonry looks great. glad the window masonry is now secured. The tie rods and resin are great. Are you putting in gas heating or bore hole ground source? period cast iron radiators?
I sort of imagined that these ties would act like screws, in that they would actively cinch the wall and facade together.
Great epidsode guys, loving the progress ❤
On the Bedroom dressing room opening - keep 450mm os so either side so not just the quoins but a bit of the stonework as well? Right hand side shows what you should retain. I think showing just the quoins won't show it off fully,
I love how you are dressed for cold weather and he is dressed for a day at the beach.
Such good energy 🖖
Well
Done both of you always entertaining 😊
Love all the stone work ❤
Incredible series, stone construction is such a different world to what I know of lumber builds! I’ve been curious since you started to address the sagging wall facade, do the anchors and fixes you are doing pull the facade back to the wall or do they simply stop it from slumping more?? Also to echo many others, the dynamic you two have is so good and comes across really well on camera, wishing you all the success from Canada 😄😄
Oh and was linked here through another channel I came across recently, so shoutout to @ChrisHytha and his series too

I worry a bit about that little blower being effective enough. To get it properly clean I think you'd need a compressor to generate proper pressures and air velocity to clear out the dust. I'm sure it's still secure though, way more than it was before!
Loved watching it becomes lovely ❤
Can u do a Q and A please. What does Louie do first work, and how does he know how to do all these tasks?
That Stonemason is unbelievable, his work is top notch. Does Louis actually own anything other than shorts, but overall a really good episode
Somehow there’s dust on my screen while watching you guys drilling the wall.
Btw great job guys x
Yes , love your videos 💜💜💜
Thank you so much! 🥹❤️❤️
I also enjoy the outtakes. 🙂
All of the stone is so beautiful!
I had no idea you can just cut sandstone with a hand saw, that is so cool 😯
I know I was shocked by that too lol
I love that you upload on wednesday. The most other do it on sunday.
I love the Wednesday uploads, as well.
Thanks for sharing your journey!
Great stuff again guys
That stonework is awesome✴ 🤩✴
Look forward to your video every week I have pass the house many times, I know the hardest part is editing to get the video out being a photographer myself, if you need any photography work done please let me know as I am only in Bridgend ❤❤❤
Could you please share where you sourced the tie rods and the resin? We might need to go through the same process for a house in Uplands. Did you get specialist advice for this and if so could you recommend a company?
Excellent solution (from a stone restorer's view). Is that stainless?
Oh btw would it be a good idea to have it bend 90 degrees into the seams and inside as well?
the wow wow wee wow was too good
So cool to see the stonemason at work
You’re willing to take on anything!
