Summer heat will rise into that space above the bedroom, cooling the house. You might want to put in ventilation, or a skylight window that you can crack open to allow the heat to escape outside.
On the other hand, most of the heat from the sun on the building would previously be held in that attic, but now it can freely mix with the rest of the air. Removing the attic might actually make the upper floor a lot hotter. Vents would be a good idea, but they'd need to be controllable, and they'd need to go thru existing roofing, and either of those two things alone would be a pretty tall order; both together are a helluva lot.
Traditionally, attics were not part of the "conditioned" space of the house. Air would circulate up from under the eaves, along the underside of the roof sheathing, and out of some kind of vents. This dries out the roof and keeps it from rotting. If you are opening the ceiling to the attic space, you are changing that relationship. You need to make the attic part of your conditioned space and make sure your roof sheathing still has air circulation so it does not rot.
also check whether the insulation covering inside the roof is allowed to get sunlight. we had some major trouble with that cause we added an attic window!
The collaboration between you two is nothing short of brilliant. The dialogue, labor and videography is top notch. I'm glad that you're back in 'the zone ', I understand, only too well what that feels like. 👍👍
Laura, glad you're inspired again.! Consult your architect friend for weight and stress issues in structure regarding new materials , as well as air movement regarding heating and cooling to prevent future hiccups moving forward with your design ideas. The old floor/ceiling may have provided rigidity as the building moves from summer to winter. And dead attic air did provide a barrier .
Hey Laura! It looks awesome! Just a few ideas: for the windows in the attic go symmetrical otherwise it look weird from the outside. For the beams you can remove the stains where the nails where with oxalic acid (it works like magic!). For the floors in your house - Have you thought about making a sub-floor of OSB and the plane or drumsand the old boards and put them on top? Then you will get wood floors and you don't have to worrie about stability :) Kind regards from a Danish Cabinet Maker and Furniture Restorer living in Stockholm ps. Keep up the good work!
Love the idea of having a little railing along the attic opening, first of all for safety. But it could also be a great place to put plants, maybe a little bookshelf, or a "desk" where you can sit on the floor and rest a laptop or a cup of coffee.
You could put in a custom-made hammock floor, it would be safe, you could use it as a reading/relaxing space, and it would preserve the light and feeling of open space. As for the stairs, some alternating tread steps would look great and save a lot of room, as they're right between a ladder and regular stairs in terms of slope
The high ceiling looks really great and I am so happy for you that you found faith in this project again. Just one thing: please wear eye protection in the future. For one I can tell you from experience that a scratched cornea is no joke and second with your videos you set an example on how to do things and protecting oneself on a building site is a big part of that. :)
I would open a window for sure. It will give you a greater amplitude in the environment and more light. At the end you will have a place to stop and reflect. Strength, focus and a big hug.
Thanks for inviting us into your renovation process, it's a pleasure to follow you. I often react to you not wearing gloves and glasses during renovation, I just want to express this concern to you, and encourage you to take care of yourself 🖤 Thanks for an inspiring channel!
I did something similar with my bedroom. First years I slept in the nook, now it is a little working space. It is great for the eyes and mind to have a high ceiling and the cats love the exposed beams❤ You will love it. Keep up the great work!
Windows up there are a great idea. You could add glass blocks to maintain insulation and wall thickness... or ... ordinary windows that will open and allow convection of heat escaping while drawing in cool basement air. Dear Laura, where were your safety glasses and gloves? Eventually we see you wearing a mask but not immediately. You have got to focus on your personal safety now so you can have a healthy future to enjoy your house. PLEASE TAKE BETTER CARE of yourself and your self. Wishing you and your friends a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace Laura
A skylight (or three) along the southern part of the roof would look beautiful and allow for ventilation in the summer. Also, a net over part or all of the exposed beams would make an amazing place to take a nap or read a book.
When you sat at the edge of the loft and talked about adding a railing, I immediately thought about doing the railing as a desk you could sit at (Füße baumeln lassen) and if you want to turn it into a movie space the desk could double as a place to put down drinks and snacks 💕
Laura please, PLEASE drop this project at this state! I did this for my brother a few years back and I was also taken by the all the space and freedom feeling... but after the first winter it was clear that the energy needed to keep the "downstairs" room somewhat warm is impractical. And not only that - but in spite of pouring resources into making it warmer, ALL the heat accumulated in the upper space next to the roof and "downstairs" still felt cold. Ultimately he had to abandon the entire room which is now a 2-story storage area. That's why most 2-story apartments have a SMALL opening to go up-and-down. Trust me I've been there and I regret all the good and freedom feeling that lured me into convincing him to keep the bedroom open like this. And unless at some point in the future he replaces the ceiling, that awesome free room will never again be used for staying or working in. I don't want to see you in a couple of years in the same situation...
@@123Liquid321 Thanks! And yes, in my brother's case (with really good roof insulation), the top "attick" room was getting almost unbearably hot. But the downstairs one still felt cold. And could not be used - that amount of free space upstairs was almost "sucking" the heat out. The roof was fine, not losing heat, snow was not melting on it etc. But the bedroom was still not usable beause of the cold :(
A suggestion for the window in the reading nook/attic: if you put it one frame to the right it will bring light to the attic AND the bedroom as only half of it will be above the floor. Also, you can sit right by it dangling your feet as you did in this video :)
Vaulted ceilings rock. I’ve done them in at least one room of three renovations and am blown away a) how good they look, and b) how much work they require to actually get sorted;)! Wish I had your skills
Proud of you Laura for your perseverance! You can now create and imagine the possibilities instead of repairing and worrying about what has gone wrong. It’s clear you came out stronger on the other side!
I trust you’ve talked with your architect about this. Those boards provide some lateral bracing to the framing. Be prepared to see some cracks form as the building adjusts to this change. Glad you are back doing the things you love with the house.
@@charlesfield9286 so am I…and I specialize in failure analysis. Though these wouldn’t necessarily be considered in the design, they do, in fact, provide lateral bracing to the joists, which are near to top elevation of the building. It likely won’t be an issue, but it should be verified. This is a common mistake made during renovations as people don’t understand or don’t have it checked to ensure the stability of the building hasn’t been compromised. Their removal will change how this part of the building moves relative to the areas that still have the boards in place which will be more rigid.
Its all about the vibes! Hard to imagine with the amount of work being done there isn't plans already in place for everything. Cost would be out of control making it all up as you go along.
My place had a broken header over the living room when I moved in. Rather than repairing it, I removed the ceiling and made a loft overlooking my vaulted room. It was an easy fix, and completely changed the character of the place. I've done the same on a few remodels as well.
you can really tell when shes in the charge of how stuff will look like, it really reminds me of how creative i used to be as a child while playing minecraft with things like having a room with a high ceiling which connects to the attic, and seeing that creativity makes me weirdly happy lol
Laura you have some really creative ideas. Exposing the beams in the bedroom is going to be so visually spacious. I do wish you would wear your goggles when working on that dirty wood floor. When the wood floor boards are dry does that present a problem with cracking etc. The staircase has an amazing handrail or bannister. Just love how it curves around the bend. So seamlessly. The window idea is brilliant in the loft area. It will bring in a lot of natural light and at night maybe you can see some stars and the moon❤️ You have the best music. It is appropriate for listening and relaxing relaxing after discovering the vast space in bedroom. Insulation is a great idea and a necessity. I am so happy for you hat you feel inspired again.😊
In your climate, you’re going to need to close cell insulation against the roof sheathing. Otherwise, the condensate from the indoor air will rot out the roof rafters.
with the building materials she uses (clay walls and wood insulation) this is far less of a topic. Just look at traditional built houses in Europe that are hundreds of years old...
@@123Liquid321 That's a very bad comparison to make. Older buildings have significantly less insulation and trap significantly less moisture. Even using traditional or natural building materials, when you try to make a building more energy-efficient you change how it behaves pretty significantly.
Those thin attic floor boards with all the gaps were never a barrier to air, heat or humidity. Taking them out doesn’t change much. The new roof takes care of moisture problems. It has vapor permeable insulation with a vapor retardant sheet on the underside.
You do need a lot more insulation in the roof. And don't forget to leave some ventilation space directly under the roof as this could make it rot. As for the stairs/ladder debate, go for storage stairs, you won't regret it, especially if you hurt your leg or something.
Great idea to open up the ceiling and create a loft space above the bathroom! You can look at using a T&G board treatment for the ceiling, which adds a bit of texture contrast to the clay walls. (Similar to what’ seen on porch ceilings.) I like the idea of adding the window in the loft space. The one thing that came to mind is perhaps balancing that window’s placement on the exterior side with another window that would be seen above the bedroom ceiling beams… OR, adding a faux window, which means trimming around a set of fixed/closed exterior shutters. Include all exterior hardware on the shutters to sell them as being operable. (This is assuming you will have exterior shutters on windows elsewhere.) Can’t wait to see how these spaces turn out!
Wir haben das in unserem Schlafzimmer auch gemacht nur an den Wänden aufgehört, also quasi nur den eigentlich Raum höher gemacht. Beste Entscheidung ever! Ich freu mich jedes mal wenn ich in den Raum gehe :)
Love watching these videos I know all the pain worked on my house for 6 years before I moved in I had to do just as much work everyone told me to just tear it down and build new but I stuck with it.
I am so emotionally invested in this house! I know I'm not alone in that feeling among your fans. Suggestion: have one or several of your sponsors fund a trip for one lucky Kampfkopf (what your fans should call themselves, if they don't already) to be a part of the housewarming party when Liselotte is finished. What do you think? PS: Please make some merch with "Kampfkopf"
Hi Laura. Since you were so happy with the hardwood floors in Liselotte, might I suggest that you have the removed floorboards run through a planer and jointed. Then you can lay them back down over the new subfloor and have the structurally sound construction you want and retain the the look of the floor you love 💕 You're doing great 👍 🌳🏡🌲🐾❤️
Nice to see how happy you are in this video. You are still in the demolition phase. Just wait until you start fixing all the damage inside and making it look nice again. The dopamine will be high. :)
It would be awesome to have the attic loft as your office with the reading nook beside the open area for the bedroom. If you paint the clay drywall in the softest green turquoise the beams will play off the green beautifully and reflect the light from the windows making it look like the sky above the beams.
I love all the ideas for the house you had in this video. Maybe a fixed steep stairway between the door and the bathroom, so access is right as you walk into the room instead of on the other side. I think you should use the reclaimed floor from the attic to make the stairs out of. I also love the window idea to let more light in and also to help vent the house.
It's great to see your excitement rekindled for Haus Liselotte. I love how everything about it has so much character. If that's going to be your reading nook and there's room, perhaps one of those sideways library ladders that moves on rails. I can just imagine you zipping back and forth on it. Or maybe a wee spiral staircase.
Awesome room and feel, BUT … are you aware, that all the warm air in your bedroom goes upwards and in winter this could be quite cold, because of the huge amount of cubic meters in this room, you have the heat. That’s why, in the old days, they kept the ceiling low, not to have to heat too much space. 😉 Just keep that in mind! 👍🏼
Ceiling fans are great both in winter and summer as they circulate the air even in old houses. There are many models that enhance any style of rooms and houses. We renovated a home built with the original gas lighting pipes. We installed a wood stove in the living room and put in a ceiling fan where the old gas pipes were. It helped as all the hot air wanted to go up the open staircase to the second floor. The ceilings were also high and the bedrooms had transoms over the doors. This was in the northern US. I 've never commented before, but I enjoy your program and look forward to each Sunday afternoon when I can watch it...thanks so much.
I just recently found your videos and I just watched the one for sand paper storage, and then where you did the hardware storage. I enjoyed seeing you work through issues, and your excitement as you came up with solutions. You also gave a heartfelt thanks in the hardware episode. You are a remarkable young woman and I look forward to watching the progress on your house. It's wonderful to see those big timbers.
Yes Laura! back in the saddle making it the house you want, so happy to see your doing it safely and using best practises! Cant wait to see you turn this old house into a home!
Awesome seeing the happiness and smile back! I have done similar in my old house, and it was such a great little change that made the space so much more special ❤
If you need a steep stair to the loft, you could investigate an alternating tread stair. I've always been intrigued by them but have never actually seen or used one. You'd have to build a mockup to make sure you liked it. You always have to start climbing with the same foot, so pick which foot carefully. But it'd be an interesting and probably fairly straightforward woodworking project.
Thats awesome - I love the high cieling and your regained motivation! The window is a perfect idea! with enough light you could have lots of haning plants there! Oh and maybe you could ad a little observatory dome up there! 🤩🔭✨
Felix is such a great videographer. Love all the B Roll shots he gets and the editing transitions. Really adds to the story
love the music action 2:12
Filex is tha bomb 💣
Summer heat will rise into that space above the bedroom, cooling the house. You might want to put in ventilation, or a skylight window that you can crack open to allow the heat to escape outside.
all attic spaces are required to be vented, so should be vents up there already, unless they took them out doing those block walls
@@IslandAdventuresDepends which country you are in and how old the house is! Most of the houses around me (England) were built in the 17th century…
On the other hand, most of the heat from the sun on the building would previously be held in that attic, but now it can freely mix with the rest of the air. Removing the attic might actually make the upper floor a lot hotter.
Vents would be a good idea, but they'd need to be controllable, and they'd need to go thru existing roofing, and either of those two things alone would be a pretty tall order; both together are a helluva lot.
And wait for winter, all the warm air just disappears into the attic.
@@arminosaeure29 Condensation.
All I can say is WOW! Like the house is breathing.
Traditionally, attics were not part of the "conditioned" space of the house. Air would circulate up from under the eaves, along the underside of the roof sheathing, and out of some kind of vents. This dries out the roof and keeps it from rotting. If you are opening the ceiling to the attic space, you are changing that relationship. You need to make the attic part of your conditioned space and make sure your roof sheathing still has air circulation so it does not rot.
We changed that principle by adding insulation under the new roof anyways (which you are required to) so it was time to rethink anyways
also check whether the insulation covering inside the roof is allowed to get sunlight. we had some major trouble with that cause we added an attic window!
It is wonderful seeing you back in love with LiseLotte's potential again. Hard earned, and really beautiful!
The collaboration between you two is nothing short of brilliant. The dialogue, labor and videography is top notch. I'm glad that you're back in 'the zone ', I understand, only too well what that feels like. 👍👍
There’s always lows and highs in renovation but when it’s all done and you haven’t cut corners you will appreciate it so much more

Still can’t get over how insanely good Laura’s English is. Impressive on all fronts 🤘🏻
This video gave me a new appreciation for subfloor. The amount of dust and dirt accumulation under the floor is insane.
Upper rooms are light and warm. Good for reading libraries and entertainment. Bottom floors are cool and dark, nice for sleeping and storage.

Amazing takeaway on the ceiling...!!!
The only way is up...looking amazing.

Insulation is a great idea and a necessity. I am so happy for you hat you feel inspired again.😊
I'm impressed, Laura. Talking to yourself in English. Wow!
As soon as you showed the open space, I visualised one of those net hammocks in one of those beam gaps.
Oh my god, so exciting to see all the potential here!
All of your videos make me wish that I had the budget to buy my own reno property or a piece of land to do my own house project!
A balcony window on the roof line would be so cool! They have windows that fold out to a standing balcony. You rock! Love all your videos!

Dreams as far reaching as the universe.May they all come true.
It's great to see your excitement rekindled for Haus Liselotte. I love how everything about it has so much character.
If that's going to be your reading nook and there's room, perhaps one of those sideways library ladders that moves on rails. I can just imagine you zipping back and forth on it. Or maybe a wee spiral staircase.
Awesome room and feel, BUT … are you aware, that all the warm air in your bedroom goes upwards and in winter this could be quite cold, because of the huge amount of cubic meters in this room, you have the heat. That’s why, in the old days, they kept the ceiling low, not to have to heat too much space. 😉
Just keep that in mind! 👍🏼
I am smiling so much for you!
Ceiling fans are great both in winter and summer as they circulate the air even in old houses. There are many models that enhance any style of rooms and houses. We renovated a home built with the original gas lighting pipes. We installed a wood stove in the living room and put in a ceiling fan where the old gas pipes were. It helped as all the hot air wanted to go up the open staircase to the second floor. The ceilings were also high and the bedrooms had transoms over the doors. This was in the northern US.
I 've never commented before, but I enjoy your program and look forward to each Sunday afternoon when I can watch it...thanks so much.
I love and can see your vision xx
So glad you saw the light and are inspired to move forward powerfully!!!!❤❤
I just recently found your videos and I just watched the one for sand paper storage, and then where you did the hardware storage. I enjoyed seeing you work through issues, and your excitement as you came up with solutions. You also gave a heartfelt thanks in the hardware episode. You are a remarkable young woman and I look forward to watching the progress on your house. It's wonderful to see those big timbers.
I love the idea of a window in the sitting space! It's so good to see you being excited again about your house!! 💖
Of all the ppl I follow, I look forward to your videos the most. Your positivity is wonderful. ❤
Yes Laura! back in the saddle making it the house you want, so happy to see your doing it safely and using best practises! Cant wait to see you turn this old house into a home!
I binged this whole series in two days, and I believe that this was the perfect episode for it to end
Awesome seeing the happiness and smile back!
I have done similar in my old house, and it was such a great little change that made the space so much more special ❤
If you need a steep stair to the loft, you could investigate an alternating tread stair. I've always been intrigued by them but have never actually seen or used one. You'd have to build a mockup to make sure you liked it. You always have to start climbing with the same foot, so pick which foot carefully. But it'd be an interesting and probably fairly straightforward woodworking project.
Thats awesome - I love the high cieling and your regained motivation!
The window is a perfect idea! with enough light you could have lots of haning plants there!
Oh and maybe you could ad a little observatory dome up there! 🤩🔭✨
i love the window idea
A beautiful spiral staircase and a balcony to outside, it would be so romantic.
