Hey! If you manage to see this comment... I just found your channel, seemingly like a million others have, from your recent videos. I like this sort of content, and like going back to the beginning to understand whats going on and follow up to current uploads. So, am I missing something here? This is the first video? If yes, a suggestion would be to very quickly post something, saying who you are, your background, where you are in a general sense, and how you came to have and be living in this building. What did it cost, how did you find it, or are you squatting? Who knows?! Fill us in on some of these details as I'm sure many will have similar questions.
Thanks for the comment, I do need to do this. I’d like to do a good job the video of the video when I do so haven’t rushed into it as I’m still learning.
Algorythm did its thing hope this channel blows up. I enjoy restoring and rebuilding what others would disgard, and this is a heck of a project to take on.
PTFE tape: I've struggled with this before, but saw a video where the guy twisted it into a thread to run around the threads of the fitting first of all, then ran over that with untwisted tape. Worked a treat for me 👍
So your doing an insulated plaster? I don't see that much here in America. I have an old house with lath and plaster. More insulation is a good thing in the snowy north.
@@theroundcorner I've never messed around with lime based masonry, but I can attest that type-L copper pipe lasts only about 50 years where it touches Portland cement based masonry (curses upon the pervious owner of my home). I'm sure your trick with the tape will extend its life quite a bit.

Was about to post something similar, almost seems as though a project introduction video is missing.

i got a feeling this'll blow up
Always drill at a slight downward angle,to stop water ingress.
Fit pipe & tap in order to use it straight away to dampen wall. A bit of good planning there.
I really enjoy this kind of content, this looks like a real interesting renovation. I hope you get many more subs.

Genuine question, but is the pipe for some sort or internal heating system? And what do the wood boards do ?
I should have explained, the wood fibre board is a breathable insulation and the pipe goes to an outside tap
Do you intend to renovate it all
That’s the plan!
How thick is the insulation you are adding?
The insulation is 80mm in total, 2 x 40mm layers
yes it will react with copper pipe, you are better off with plastic
Yeah, be interesting to shove some copper in lime and see what happens after a year.
