![RESTORING our neglected 300-YEAR-OLD FARMHOUSE and garden [2 years in 24 minutes]](/img/n.gif)
Couple of bits I didn't mention. I repeated the cleaning and washing stage several times to work through the grime making sure all was rinsed thoroughly before leaving to dry. Hopefully one day we will get to the restoration side of things. Check out Opus Tile Restoration on FB and IG for some pro info and before and afters! 👌
Fantastic job buddy.
Love, it; so satisfying to watch things being maintained, renewed, held on to, given a new lease of life! (Especially in our ‘throw away’ culture). Your attitude to restore things and look after them reminds me of my late Grandparents, who also had a very similar floor to this in their pantry. 👍👏
It seems that many people have some sort of memory involving old tiles. I seem to remember queuing up in a tiled hall for school dinners at primary school! 😂
I stencilled the pattern of our encaustic tiles on the section of concrete. Many years ago (1940's) heating was put in and steel pipes put under the floor. A large area of concrete was left which looked awful. So I stencilled the existing pattern onto the concrete and it looks great. The house was built before 1840 and the tiles are original.
Absolute genius Tim. I love this show. The look of concentration on your face as you went for the joy ride on the wife's sewing machine lol Freedom !!!
Them tiles are brilliant. It amazes me how good they look. The colours are still so vibrant after so long
I always get so much more done when the wife and kids are out no distractions 😀 great work 👏
I laughed out loud when you moved the princess dress to frame one of the kids after using the sewing machine!
That looks stunning. It must be very difficult to resist not replacing the missing tiles but it will take a while.
I didn't realize you had kept the tile floor! It looks wonderful. Hopefully, the rest can be restored at some point!
Beautiful tiles and well worth preservation even though it looked hard work.
My wife loved your comedy routine on the Janome.
From what I understand Tile Tessellation are laid on a bed of "wet mortar" with tiles abutting one another. which means that you lay the bedding material and start laying tiles because if the bedding material dries you rip up all the work and start again. Only saw it once on a TV renovation show where a tiler was laying a tessellate pattern on a front entrance porch, dont know if the tile layer was accurate in what he was saying or doing but he did a great job it just looked stunning.
Yeah once upon a time they were done like this but now it's just create the flat surface then normal tile adhesive etc.
My exact tiles! I must give it a go! Thank you ❤
Another job well done, 😂 It must be a old builders thing, you hold on to stuff like my old man, thinking it’ll come in handy for a job somewhere down the line. And sure enough it does. Keep up the good work 👍
This is the video I've been waiting at least two years to see!! Love that floor! I tried to get those patchwork tiles but could not find them in Canada and would not buy from the states. Ended up having my tile setter cut patchwork shapes to my design from the large tiles we floored with, for a modernized black/white/grey take on the style, and we put an inlaid patchwork "tile rug" at each entry door. (Soaring labour cost but I love the result)
I hope you're able to find tiles to fill in the other areas, it'll be a fussy job but will look fantastic. In the meantime, I wonder whether you could get some paint matched, and just stencil the patchwork pattern onto those concrete bits...
Wouldn't a quilted wall hanging or throw in the same pattern and colours look great in one of the sitting rooms. But maybe leave that to Jo, eh? You have mad skills with everything except the sewing machine. I almost yelled at my screen...
I know, its such an overdue project so nice to have at least made a start! I do think that its worth making an effort with the entrance and hall, after all many visitors only see a room or two. We have a sisal runner that fits over the other half just fine for now, unfortunately I think the concrete patches are not really smooth enough to do anything effective with paint. Wall hanging would be good, we picked the wall paint to match the blue triangles actually.
Man, I am an absolute sucker for a Minton floor. Great job.
Is Bill burr moonlighting. Nice work
Hi bud the best knee pads i ever bought are the padded material one like wrestlers use or marital arts. I do have the plastic type but they kill my knees after a bit, love the floor😊.
Hi there I recently pulled up 3 layers of vinyl flooring in my kitchen(recently bought) 🤢to find the original quarry stone tiles underneath about 200 years old. I have the exact same issue as you where they used to have a Matt in the floor it really bugs me but I just cover it amazing how much a bit of sealer makes a massive difference you done a really good job well done keeping it original 👍🏼
always an inspiration keep it up bud
This must of been a popular style of that time period. I’ve seen this almost exact pattern in so many homes. Normally from 1820s an up
Thank you so much for sharing!
Seeing you do all that scrubbing made me think you should have got cleaning attachments for a drill, I have some and they make doing tiles so much easier!
I had a go with a 150mm scourer head on my polishing tool a few years back. Worked ok but did flick muck around a fair bit and most of the dirt was in the joins so needed a bit more detail work unfortunately
@@TheRestorationCouple Oh ok, that makes sense! They're great gadgets but I suppose only suitable for specific jobs.
A contender for The Great British Sewing Bee.
😂 give me time!!!
Can I ask how you dealt with pitted tiles? I noticed some of your white tiles had pits that were filled with dirt. We have a lot of those!
Love these tiles they look great. Why not try and take up the ones next to the Matt well and have a full width Matt? That way you may have a few spare tiles if you can get them up in one piece. Love the channel guys keep the vids coming 👍🏼
I actually filmed a whole segment of me explaining exactly that idea. We we planning to create a well for a carpet/mat as until now we have always had one there anyway just in case the kids every slipped on the stairs! We did count them a few years back and there was almost enough so definitely an option... just not doable in my two day snagging marathon!
@@TheRestorationCouple we use to have a matt well in the old house they were fab and all the rain from the door fell onto it. It was a godsend! Good luck with finding more time 👍🏻
That is a great idea
What a treasure!
That window vac was surprisingly effecive at at removing the moisture. If you ever want those empty floor sections completed with a matching set of Victorian tiles talk to Tile Doctor who operate across the UK and specialise in this area.
mate i have the same floor near enough ty for this
If you have to reset the mechanism of the sewing machine after botching it up with a very thick material, a 'how to' video would probably be appreciated. There aren't many decent ones and some sewing machine maintenance isn't that difficult if you have some guidance. Not that I've had a bad experience.
Woah! How did I miss this - the video I have been waiting for!
EDIT: When you said you were going to dilute down the cleaner - what was the dilution ratio? Thanks!
Is the music a stylised Bob the Builder??
Nice work, How did it hold up after time and wear? Did it start peeling off ?
Going to start on mine soon but got a few little ones missing.Where did you get the new blue and cream tiles from?
What acid cleaner did you use?
I have a victorian property and the gunk from the carpet is still on it I'm ganna try and use tile doctor and a few hours of scrubbing would this work?
that looks great, i'm going to do that to the tiles in my hall. stupid amateur question i am sure but what is the yellow machine with the squeegee thing on?
It’s just a window cleaner vacuum but thought I’d try on the tiles.
The place is looking better and better, shame your moving after all the work.
Still time to change our minds! Whatever we do it will be nice to know we got 99% of it done. 😀
Wow a Karcher product that lasted long enough to complete a job! Surprised the battery didn’t die after 5 minutes or the product simply fall to pieces which is what has happened every time I have bought one of their crap pieces of equipment including 5 of those window vacs that all refused to recharge.. Apart from that interesting video.
What is this yellow vacuum cleaner ?
Really good. Thanks for sharing. What is that tool that looks like a shower scraper called?
Karcher window vacuum. 👍
What are your plans for the floor area where your dog is laying?
We hope to build an under stairs storage area with doors and drawers so much will be covered. There are some areas that will need breaking out and tiling but that’s for another time!
Sorry the dog got so excited while you were working. Did you check to see if he was breathing?
He’s 15, deaf and blind but still great company. Although was not around during this project as it took long enough to clean before sealing. 😂
One of those jobs where you put a shit-tonne of effort in and the missus asks "what have you done today?"
Yep, emptied three rooms to snag all the walls, ceiling and skirting boards to put it all back and not look much different. 🙄
Original Style do all those tiles
That STAIRCASE. LOL why the hell do people tear the original down!!! Lol.
Step 1: Frame the kids
Step 2: Put confession video on the internet.
I find it a shame that you didn't explain what you were doing and what product you were using when we see you clean. We don't know if it's just water at the beginning for example
Did you consider how much damage incurs to your lovely dog inhaling these chemicals and not put your dog somewhere with less harm not good
He wasn't there during any of the work, the outro footage is several days after.
@@TheRestorationCouple good to know ok a thumbs up guys for more great work 🙏🏼👍🏼🤗
