Here on my channel, I am renovating a 250 year old stone cottage on my property in Normandy, France. By using traditional, low-waste and off-grid methods, I'm aiming to keep the charm and character of this old building, and turn it into a furnished, finished home for family whilst keeping environmental impact as low as possible. There will also be content on living in France, visiting beautiful rural places, hunting for antiques, gardening and more!

See you in Sean's World.

You’re in my regular lineup of educational television every night. “No one talk to me, I’m watching Sean’s World” 😄
From one of your American fans 👍🏼 great job
🤣👍
I always enjoy your video. I have sooo much respect for a guy that knows what he's about that when he explains what he is doing it comes out easy to understand, friendly and actually you feel like your stand right there and your talking to me. That said before your living in that cottage your rebuilding you best get that window in your and Sam's cottage. 😁
👍
You're bringing it back to life Sean! I love watching beautiful old buildings being brought back to life. Every day, something new! Good job!
I'm a cabinet maker and I've helped restore some old houses so I'm very impressed with your talents and ability to solve problems while keeping the integrity of the building,
Coolest, calmest guy on TH-cam, nothing seems to faze you Sean, keep it up, great vlog again👍
Lovely old timber. The exposed beams while retain the old character. Going to look great Sean.
Sean you have such patience with everything you do, can't wait till its completed, those beams are gorgeous.
I'm sure you can also add in more mortar after you do the roof.
I like your plans on how you're going to frame everything in. It will look nice when it's done.
Thanks for sharing, Sean. 👍
Sean, such a great engineer. I appreciate you explaining it all. Never knew what the different types a bricks were all about. Now I do. Thanks.
You did a great job of supporting the perlins. Every thing is supported very well.
Cheers
Functional is best! Just make it work and safe! Cosmetic work comes way later! Watch this space folks!
I appreciate all the neat stuff & hard graft you show us, along with the hours of editing. I always think "poor Sean, his day isn't over yet... now on to editing, comments, website, store..." my goodness, nothing 'semi' in your semi-retirement. 🙃
😆
So excited to see this all coming together! Sean, you are doing an awesome job and I bet Sam is thrilled that you are following her advice and keeping it safe firstly! What a smart fellow you are!
All mucked up and that old cottage has new joint replacements as good as my new knees!
🤣
Supererb craftsmanship as always I expect nothing less
I did enjoy this wonderful episode!😮😊 Great work! Excellent progress! Thank you all! 😊❤
You are amazing, Sean! You always come up with the answers!❤-
Just love you talking to us all when your are work 🤗👍🍰☕
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Sean, a very interesting video as you explain how you are reinforcing the structure and using the different bricks and mortar. It will be sturdy once again and ready for the next 100 years!!
Hi Sean, I’ve read somewhere you can put mortar in a piping bag that people ice cakes with. Is that something you’ve thought of using ??🏴🇬🇧
Done in a previous video
Excellent work Sean! I enjoy your videos! Crack on!
Thanks, Sean, for another enjoyable video! Looking forward to the next one!
......and I always thought a brick was just a brick. 🤣😂🤣
Bit by bit...it will get done
Sean, you are a marvel. And functional and pretty! 😂 Also pretty funny. I admire your abilities more and more all the time. Thanks for another great video. ❤
Thank you for notice re: premium showing…I was 3 minutes late! Man! Meal came to my door….well, that’s the way it goes when your the armchair carpenter!
🤣
Such a huge difference in construction methods to us here in New Zealand. Known as the ‘Shaky Isles’ our construction codes have to take into account the ever present threat of earthquakes.
Good job
Hello Sean and Sam and family
Hello
Use current tiles from backside for front...put new tiles in back?
Not compatible
I cracked up when you said, oh a slight adjustment with the brick" and then you hit the brick with the hammer and knocked off a piece of brick. Yes, brutal force is always the solution. By buying 3 different kinds of brick, you are tailoring the type of brick with the type of repair improvement. You are always thinking ahead. You are a credit to your profession of master carpenter. Thanks for another great informative and entertaining video. You are the cat's meow! Hello from Yakima,Washington,U.S.A.
Happy birthday Jeff 🎉🎂🍺🎁 congrats on your first video, great place 👍
Thank you Sam
Happy birthday Jeff 🎂 🥳
The new timber supporting the old looks good. Enjoyed your process.
❤ I enjoy your videos so much. Thank Sean and all
Good one Sean xx😊😊😊
Hi Sean, I was wondering if you can’t find matching tiles for the roof couldn’t you put all the original tiles on your roof to the front of the buildings & put the new imitation ones on the back of the buildings? Just a thought.
Many of the old ones are brittle
Too much extra work
Minor adjustment love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You explain what is happening very well, it makes a difference to this non handy girl. Well done.
Sean, you're on a roll! Always learn from you. I notice your tips that are wise as you work. As you said before, this is not your first rodeo!😂❤
Happy Birthday Jeff 🎂🎊🎊🎁🎁 and more to come. I enjoy the video. Have a big old cookout. Have fun and God bless from all of us 🇺🇸
Sean, you have the patience of Job. And, you need the construction equivalent of a piping bag to get your lime mixture into the tight spots. Love your videos. Lots of fun to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Used that method in a previous video
Best to make every thing safe then make it pretty later ❤
It's amazing how good it's looking Sean, a bit of mortar here pop a brick in there, i just think of your back when you're doing all that lifting Take care ❤ 😊
Well explained. Very well executed. After watching all your videos, I always ‘feel’ I can do what you do. BUT I know for an absolute fact, that there’s no chance I can do what you do 😆
Practice makes perfect
Woo hoo Sean 👏👏👏 Great work ❤❤❤
As always, great video. Watching you is a joy and I learn something new. Thanks Sean
Hoping to see kitty’s again soon 😉
Looking Good!
Check the ones on the tin shack maybe older and worn by weather. You’ll be eventually taking it down
Glad it is getting more solid. All needs to be solid before a roof repair
Sean , the progress looks wonderful 👌
Another wonderful video. Keep up the good work
Good progress!
Good video Sean.
Thanks!
Hi there, thank you so much ☺️
Great vlog Sean,xxx
Love the hat
Now I know why my dad called old stone buildings - mud and daub... we tore an old farmhouse down years ago and found spoons and other cooking implements stuck in amongst the old stones, the old guy who built the place was from England, built the house in the late 1890's and used whatever he had to fill in the cracks,
How cool, nothing to landfill (the hole in the ground), use all the rubbish items to strengthen the building. Those oldtimers were wiser than modern society in many ways. Good old make do.
Boy Sean are you quick with that motor and bricks. Nice job.
A drinking game which I do not recommend. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT take a drink each time Sean says "purlin" in this video. 🤣😉😵💫🍺Only joking! But you would have a rough head in the morning. Truly, I am always amazed and impressed with the knowledge and skill Sean brings to any project, big or small. Much respect for the man.🥰
Yes the word purlin is getting on my nerves now 🤪
Hah! I'd imagine it would! There's always something to tend to with these old buildings, isn't there. You're doing brilliantly, shoring up the old timbers (see? I didn't say the dreaded "p" word)@@Seans_World
One old cottage renovator put the new roofing tiles on one side and the old ones on the other side. That would seem to work for your situation since you can’t see the difference when enjoying your yard.
Not practical for me
Thank you for such delightful content.
Just cracking on there Seán well done 😊
Wonderful job Sean 👍
Hello👋
Hello ❤️
Looking good Sean
why can't you support that purling with vertical timbers to the floor
It will cramp the available space!?!
Wrong angle completely
Great work done
Do you need to treat the old wood for woodworms? I have noticed so many in France do. The cottage will be lovely!
All done check out the video
Could you take the tiles off the back and put them on the front, then fit the new ones on the back?
I was thinking that too. Just alot more work
Not compatible unfortunately
👍👍👍
In the US they make a bag like a pipping bag for morter
Check out previous videos
Sean, why is the new wood so yellow ???
It's treated with wood preservative for use outside or the Roof!?!
Good progress Sean - is your cottage window finished? 😉
Sean have you thought about getting like a big grout bag to make getting the plaster in those small areas that way you could pipe it n.....
Done on a previous video
❤❤❤
You could mix them
Different size
😊
The mortar between the stones is like sand, the way it crumbles. Is that just caused by the ingress of water over the (many) decades, or does mortar just naturally degrade over time, whether or not it’s exposed to the elements? I know that stone blocks can degrade - almost rot - in the wrong conditions, but how do you help mortar last longer, when faced with the ravages of the weather its no doubt going to face at the back of your beautiful properties?
You are almost right. But what else is there to use? Under bad conditions, it will erode, especially from boston Ivy. That is why you see them "tuck-point" both brick and stone. Different stones erode at different rates, sandstone is probably the worst. You will never see mortar used on horizontal surfaces where the water can sit. Arches always have a "lentil" or a big stab of stone over them to prevent that. The aqueducts are still standing.

kitty update ?
If time and money were abundant wouldn't it be nice to build a new roof over the old one with no stress on all the old structural. Just dreaming
🌟👏👍🍀💐
Doesn’t it weaken the beam cutting into it so much
It might if there were several feet of snow on the roof, Sean knows what he is doing. His repair is at least stronger than the beam was new.
It's not just one component you need to focus on its the overall design when completed 👌
@@Seans_World oh I realised as you progressed just how much support you were putting in.
😊
