Hi there again, see you all soon 😊👍
Shower for a drawf is it 😂
The work never stops when doing restorations. That’s why you must enjoy the process or it will drive you bonkers. You always seem to like solving a problem, Sean, so this is the job for you👍🏻👏🏻🥰
The way you did that window to handle the rain water dripping is VERY impressive.
It’s like, you’re an artisan.
Bravo 🎉
I find it amusing that people give building advice to the builder. I think Sean knows what he is doing.
Sometimes it's just different techniques 🤣
Individual tastes.
Nice job on the window Sean, looking forward to seeing what you do with the rest of it.
This is going to be a lovely looking cottage, no doubt! Your skills are never ending Sean!
Great work Sean! Glad you’re hiring some help!
The tiles are a nice addition, they keep it looking sort of rustic. The render makes it look finished. Thanks for sharing.
Sean, You are such a gentleman and a fine restorer of properties. It is a pleasure to follow along with your work and I am learning so much just by watching you redo this space. I am looking forward to seeing how you manage the wall that needs to be replaced too. The drip edge on the outside of the window is really awesome and I learned something about the aluminum drip edge that makes such good sense to boot. Thank you!!
The window turned out beautifully! God has blessed you with amazing skills. Great work!
Hello 👋🤩 from North Carolina! Always enjoy chatting with everyone @Sean's World 🌍🌎🌏🌠😎! Hope you have a great weekend!
The window is looking fabulously charming!
I guess it was too hot for Freddie today! 🐸 How clever of you to reuse the tiles in this way. Keeps the outside looking rustic and unique. Have a great weekend and stay cool! 💚
I love seeing your expert assessment of the cottage plans. It really is a joy to see you taking aim with your experience and skills while keeping that smile on your face! I know you’ll be happy to see that roof repaired. It’s probably held up well all things considered. Amazing project, Sean. You must be excited to be getting this done, I know I’m excited to watch the progress. Cheers. ❤
No further comment... Love the Hawaiian T-shirt Sean! It;s a yes for me!!! Lol Oh, almost forgot... repointing is clean, beauty job!
The more you work the more work you find...isn't that always the way. I'm happy you are taking the time to do it the right though. Great job Sean!
It could be worse, at least it’s not the roof😂❤. You can fix it if anyone can😊
The greens behind you when you stood on the scaffolding were stunning. Great vlog full of lots of helpful information. Loved the hammer, never seen one like that before. Love to you, Sam, Jasmine, Jack and Tom xxxxx 💙💙💙❤️❤️
Nice work Sean! It's always enjoyable to watch a multi-talented artisan ply his skills. I do have one criticism. Your love of food is shared by my wife and I and you're responsible for my last 10 pounds. 😂😊. Kidding aside I wish we lived in France too, because I think you and your family would be great to have a beer with. 🍺🍺. Keep up the great work!
So many lovely birds singing I love it!
Tidy and proper, just like our host. The lime looks great against the stone facade.
The whole window was a YAAAY 😂 I was seriously hoping on the previous window vlog you weren't going to leave that MIND THE GAP there as an indoor outdoor waterfall effect 😂🤣🤣 I'm sorry Sean I'm having a hard time typing while laughing MAO for doubting you 🤭😁 this is ingenious and I LOVED the tube use on the pointing ❤❤ baby gutters yippee 😅 and it looks absolutely beautiful!!! 🥰🥰 Next time you do any pointing can you do a closer shot of your technique plz? 😁 And yes plz do remove the wattledaub wall!! 😉 Didn't doubt you deciding to do that 😉🥰 very nice vlog! 😊
Oh no, Sean, don't render over that wonderful old stone facade! The story of the building's history is given to us through it's alterations. Thumbs up for your skills and efforts. I am learning, entertained, and inspired by your channel.

Lime render it a traditional method used in this area, the facade has to many bad repairs and cement pointing
Thanks for sharing, Sean. Very Educational! Take care.
Looks great, Sean!
Sean, that was incredible! Good work!
Have you thought about extending the cottage living space over into the barn loft, and leaving the main level of the barn as a workshop? Just curious as you'll already be taking down a good portion of the old clay wall. This project of yours if fascinating! Keep up the amazing job!
Yes 👍 l have maybe in the future
Goodness, Sean, that window looks beautiful!
Always look forward to your videos!
Hi Sean
I personally perf the old stone work and not the brick. I love the old stuff, it has that old world charm to it
The window looks great!
Love watching you work great job on widow looks well worth the work 🤗👍 ☕🍰
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
You the man. Good job everytime 😅
Window is looking good Sean! Great hearing about your future reno plans too.
Hi Marliss
Love that amazing old hammer you were using on the aluminium! Looks like an antique despite the modern looking handle.
Had it for 30 plus years
My Daddy had one, it was in his tool box and he left the tool box to my husband. Both of our sons want it, looks like we will have to do high card wins draw! Lol
I noticed that hammer too!
I was just thinking that you need to hire a few people to help you, then you said that exact thing! 😎
I know you liked to work for Billy but it is so much more rewarding and fulfilling to work FOR YOURSELF!!!
I'm glad to hear you have some connections to help you, that list seems pretty long. On the positive side, you've ticked one off with finishing the window 😊 looking forward to seeing the next one. Stay cool on this hot weekend. Cheers
Hammer and wood is always good for shaping things. The simple way is easier to remember. And tape makes the mix look great point joint. I hadn't thought of that! Thanks. Looking great😊😊
Hi
I love your content, you remind me of my late father, he could build or fix anything just like you.
That's nice ☺️
Gorgeous Sean lovely plant pot would be Gorgeous on the window sill it's lovely 😊
Great idea on the drip seal looks lovely 😀
You're one smart cookie Sean. I like how you correct the issues with ancient buildings. Well done, again!
Great work Sean. Lots to take on. Hiring help would easy your burden for sure. Take care.
Another job well done!
Perfect timing, as we have a window that needs sealing too! Plenty of top tips there to help us. Thanks!
What a beautifully creative solution to the window leakage problem, top notch plus I learned something, esp about proper lime redering and curing! Thanks 😊
That window looks fab x
Cheers, Sean!! Not only are you an accomplished mason, but you are also an artist. I really liked the diamond pattern you etched into the lime render under the window. It looks great!!

So glad I located your TH-cam channel. Watched your work on the Covent and missed seeing you!
Welcome
The window looks really sharp Sean. Love the tile sill. Hope you caulk the space between wood sill and the tile.
Maybe you could use a steel tie in place of the timber on floor
All caulk already, yes l have considered that but the beam doesn't really bother me it's characterful and will design it in the refit
Stucco render or brick around the window both look great. The variety of stone work in the different building sections adds charm and character to the cottages I say point the stone work up and leave it exposed shows the history.
Unfortunately it has been pointed with cement and it would take forever to remove. There will be stonework exposed around doors and windows lintels etc, it's traditional here
@@Seans_World that's to bad understand why you would not want to remove all the cement and repoint.
You did a great job on that window, Sean, it looks wonderful!
Hi Sean, the quality of your videos have greatly improved. To make it even better, I would suggest switching your camera from "auto" to "manual". What that will do is prevent the image from getting noisy and blurry in low light conditions (like inside the cottage). The only thing you''ll have to do is adjust the ISO setting depending on the level of light of the place you're filming in (Billy did that when he filmed his vlogs). The higher the ISO, the better it is going to perform in low light. Cheers !
Sean, great craftsmanship!
Great job n the window Sean! Looking forward to the next step in cottage renovation. Enjoy the weekend🙏🏼❤️
Greetings Sean, glad to see your channel doing well! Hope you and your family are enjoying the summer! Any new copper buys mate? All the best to you, and your family! Thomas! Looks like a beautiful day there! The birds are singing away! Your place is coming along, for sure!
Yes lots of new copper
I can already invision the upstairs reno if you expand the upstair space into the barn. More room for living and a better return on your investment.
You are missed at The Convent.
We suffered through Ryan wrecking one of Billy's apartments. Ryan claims 18 days; but Billy slipped and said 7 days of Ryan demo'ing it. He truly needed you there to teach him and guide him.
It might have just been Billy letting Ryan to create content and free physical labor outbof Ryan. It was a bit of a sh** show for many of us that watch Ryan.
Now Ryan is skipping out on the bottom apartment for a 2nd floor one that is bigger and only needs painting, a kitchen, some bathroom work.
Good Job mate. Wish you luck in all you do
You are so talented
Nice terra-cotta sill, good job!
So informative I could understand..❤
love how you reuse what you have. enjoy watching you. such a skilled craftman.
So glad you know what you're doing. I must admit, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'm so glad that you are keeping as much integrity as you can to the structure Nice
Looking good!
Love to watch your progress on this project.
Looks SO good, Sean. Appreciate attention to detail.
Always more work to do, good for you Sean, crack on
Looks great!
Look good❤
Hi Sean, when removing the clay, you might see if there's a "chute" to use, like a big old pipe or slide, it might help instead of using buckets and going up and down that ladder🤔
Curious to isten to you as you increased the job list as you looked around. Maybe a good thing you did do that little extra look see.
We have the same problem on a few of our widow sills. Our home was built in 89 and for some reason, some were sloped while others, not. This has caused water intrusion between the brick and inner sill. Love your idea and it seems more practical than ripping out the old brick.
Hey Sean, great video. Not sure if you realize just how great it is when you walk your viewers through each step of a project. As an amateur DIYer, I often use what I learn from you (and yes, even from the Pethericks occasionally) in my own home projects. So thank you! And Crack On!
Your welcome
The window looks great.
Sean, I just enjoy watching your ingenuity when it comes to problem solving. Thinking outside the box and figuring things out as you go, brings a little pitter-patter to my heart. ❤ Lovely job!
To me the most fun of remodeling is layout design. Visualize in my mind the finished project when done, is something a good craftsman can do. I can almost estimate most costs just looking over project without any cost overuns, barring unforseen dryrot, etc.
You did a fantastic job on the window. I’m so looking forward to the future renovations.
I'd say don't put a window right against a corner if you can possibly help it. It's better to leave negative space all the way around a window, because it ends up feeling claustrophobic otherwise. Doors can go in corners because they visually extend the space, but windows don't have the same effect. They need breathing room to work out as frames around selections of the outdoors.
No it's not going tight in the corner
Sean, you have a bit to do! It’s going to be a new place, once your finished!
Thanks!
Hi Lori thank you for your kind donation 😊 regards Sean
Brilliant job Sean some handy tips too
Thanks
Thank you!!
LOVE how happy the birds are in the background...
Looks like you did choose a better tile!
There is always so much to take out, repair and replace in such old buildings. You’re doing a fantastic job!
Love the window looks really nice!
Sean I enjoy your videos so much, you’re so talented and are undaunted by the list of to do’s. Thank you for sharing!!
Good project and I like the way you cleaned up all the old brick and tiles before sealing up the project with cement.
Thanks 👍 lime not cement as much better
@@Seans_World Yes it is. I just spoke to my husband about the difference. He said that lime is crushed white stone and cement is crushed gray stone. He stuccoed our entire house. It is white. I like the lime better too. It is very white. I'd like more information about lime if you want to share.
Second comment. I love everything you did with the window from the practical to the aesthetic. Looked like a lot of fun too! About that big beam on the floor upstairs….can you make a raised platform on the bedroom side of the beam? No idea what you have in mind for furniture.
Yes there will be a step up n over into the bedroom
I, too, like the brick. It makes it look interesting, makes the window area stand out.
Not in keeping or original thou
You are a good Teacher, keep it up - and good luck
Love watching your restoration projects, love what you did to the frame of the window, till nx time.....
I'd double up the tiles so they overlap Sean or maybe a damp course under the tiles. All fun stuff
There is not enough gap, its a traditional method so no need for any moisture barrier the tile and lime are breathable
Happy Anniversary, Bonnie and Dr. Mike. 😊 🌼🌷🌺
The new window sill looks great. You do such nice work. Looking forward to seeing what unfolds as you work on this property since I have no knowledge of what is salvageable and what isn't. Very interesting.
Sean, I love your work. It is always perfection.❤
Oh, I love your idea of the slate tiles on the sill and all the rendering. Topnotch!
You've done great works Sean.... this project you have now is much in the now.. Congratulations👏👏👏🙏
That"s a wicked hammer you have there, Sean. It looks like something left over from the Viking raids!
Wow, big project Sean, but you're the man to complete it
No problem for you Sean, you have the know how. It’s looking great. Bless 🙏🏻👍
