Restoring windows, splitting rock with expansive mortar & chat about our slow renovation progress

- In the last video I said that I have been storing old windows I bought last year in our barn. Well, the time has come to start to repair first one of them, as we need to get the kitchen area sealed for winter and for that we need two windows.
I was a little nervous to start to work on these, as I wasn't familiar with any of these products I'm using. Noticing the rot in the bottom of the frame didn't help, because I had to whip up a patch for that too that I wasn't prepared to do.
But slowly I'm starting to get more comfortable working on these windows. After all, if something goes wrong I can always fix it.
In this video I'll also show you a little bit of what we've been doing around the house and the plot in July and show a little glimpse of our summer vacation.
Let's enjoy the rest of this summer, no matter the weather. :) At least here in Finland it doesn't look very promising, but hey, it's pointless to stress about something we can't change.
All the best,
Saaga Helena

I like the sign in the yard of your Romanian holiday cabin. It reminds me of another saying:
Quiet is the absence of noise. Silence is the presence of silence.
Oh that's so nice. 🤍 And true!
Čudovita obnova in tudi sama Romunija je čudovita dežela, uživajta. Lep pozdrav iz Slovenija.
Thank you. 😍 Slovenia was a second option for our destination, but my husband has been there a few times, so we chose Romania for him to see something new. I definitely want to visit Slovenia too one day. 🤍 Have a good weekend!
@@saagahelena Sem doma v Prekmurju kjer je čudovita narava ter tudi dosti hiš ki so primerne za obnovo , ja lepo da ste videli tudi Slovenijo in tudi Romunija je prijeten kraj za življenje. Želim vama vse dobro in mnogo lepih dni pri obnovi. Lep pozdrav , Branko.
Your slowness is i think far more realistic for most ppl. Especially if you are doing it yourself and learn along the way.
Yes indeed and I really hope so. 😅 It'll all become a bit quicker hopefully once we get over all these firsts and get to the repetitive part.
@@saagahelena I am sure it will! We just bought an old farm house in Central Finland to restore. I appreciate seeing your process and knowing your time lines, it makes things less daunting for me. I only found your channel recently so I am looking forward to going through your videos from the start!
Oh how nice! Congratulations! (Dare I say 😅) Good to hear you think that way. I was hoping someone could find something to relate to in these videos of mine, especially when things get rough. And they often do in projects like this. 😅
Did you need an architect or plans or just do it?
Finland is the promised land of bureaucracy that we often also follow very strictly, so yes indeed. 😄 There was no drawings of this house so we needed them to get a building permit; architect drawings and also electricity and water/sewage/ventilation drawings. Also an official "supervisor" needs to be approved by the municipality for the whole project.
But it's not all bad, cause everything we do on the old log frame is considered renovation/maintenance as we're rebuilding it the same way it was, so there's no strict rules of materials etc. On the other hand the little extension that we got planned where there'll be bathroom is considered a newbuild, so there's more rules regarding the materials used.
Also, regulations may be different depending on the municipality, so it's all about asking asking asking. 😁
@@saagahelena it's looking great. I wish you all the best in your endeavours. You're making memories.
Thank you so much, any well wishes are needed. 😍 Have a great week!
