- I take a look back on how far we've come in our home renovation - I've named 'before and after', but to be honest it's more like before and where we're at right now. 🙈
🛠 OUR SITUATION:
We've upsized from out 2 bed terrace to a 3 bed semi-detached house!
🛠 IN THIS EPISODE:
Time lapse/compilation of our house renovation! I can't believe some of these clips when I look back, it was so different. It's crazy to see that we weren't put off and we saw the potential, even with that hideous wallpaper!

So... what do ya think?! 😁 Looking back on these clips is STRESSFUL! Haha, I can't believe how much work we managed to do and to have our home turn out, well, pretty good! I hope you enjoyed this wrap up to where we are at the moment.
Now, onto the interiors... 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
So good to see a UK house renovation - British houses are a unique animal! Love what you've done so far - we're at the buying stage and need lots of inspiration (reassurance?) ❤️
Very nice, simple to the point video. Actually made me feel motivated to take works like these. Well done on good video
Thank you so much! I’m so glad to hear it’s motivated you 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great job. Those tiles you scrapped up and all that black stuff left behind is also asbestos also the artex ceilings you were standing and scraping. Always best to get stuff tested before you start work.
Absolutely! I talked about this in my other video, but we wore masks for getting up the marley tiles, as advised by our flooring fitter. We also work masks for sanding down the ceilings. 😊
I love how in UK house problems are undercover under paint or sealant - usually is leaking roof, dump or ventilation 😬
All looks great! We just did our house flip and working on our second. All the hard work is worth it 🙂
Great job 👏
Thanks so much! 😄
Loved some of the tips as you went along! Will keep that in mind, thank you x
Excited to see the final look! You guys are brilliant. Love to see this renovation 😊
Nice job and love to see this renovation.
House looks gorgeous, you’ve done a great job
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video! Me and my wife just bought a house that needs similar work doing and this video has helped alleviate some of the initial thoughts of “what the heck are we doing” 😂
Thank you so much! That's the best comment, I hope it's all going well and you're past the 'what the heck' stage now 😅😅
Good work
Thanks so much!
Looks amazing! Congrats 👏
Looks great your hard works definitely payed of xx
Thank you so much, it certainly has! 😅
Very brave to plaster over breathable lime plaster with non breathable plaster, paint and filler. Fingers crossed you don’t get damp issues, make sure you keep some windows open as much as possible.
Looks lovely good effort
Loved this! ☺️
Fantastic
That trunking from the left wall going into the fire place? 🤣
Just a quick question how much would a 4-5 bedroom self build /extension cost to do
Welldone 👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
@@emmarosehorsley
You done a fantastic job
Hello - well done with renovation. Wondering how long did ot take ?
great video, what kind of LVT did you get btw? ceramic? glue down one?
Hey, sorry for my late reply on this- they were glue down ones. :)
Wow, what is your LVT flooring called and where could I buy from please? 🤯🔥💪🏼
Thank you! It's Karndean Van Gogh and it's in Auckland Oak ♥️ I bought it from a local flooring supplier and fitter, so I'm sure if you ask around you'll find someone who can supply and fit it too. 😊
Congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you ☺️
How long from moving in did it take you to get to that point? Great video, thank you!
Thank you! It took approx 6 months from getting the keys to moving in. ☺️ We both work full-time so we did a lot of the work at the weekends, although we had booked off some weeks here and there too.
Torn between getting a new build and buying an old house and renovation. How much roughly do you think youve spent so far on what you've covered in this video ?
Hey! Sorry for a late reply... that is a tricky one. I am planning to film a video very soon to give a break down of how much this cost us... so, annoyingly, I'll say stay tuned! Otherwise, I would say older houses are built stronger than new builds - in my opinion and experience! Have you decided yet? ☺️
@@emmarosehorsley looks like we may be going in for an old build! I was tempted by the beauty of increasing equity 😅
@@benlamptey5208 that is also a benefit! 😅🙈 that’s exciting. Will you be documenting a renovation anywhere?
@@emmarosehorsley to be honest I never thought about it. But I might just do it 😅
How much did the plasterer cost and did you have to whitewash or prime the walls before painting?
Hi, i'm soo sorry for my late reply. I have a separate video on how much the plasterer cost here: th-cam.com/video/DlZXyPyHXN4/w-d-xo.html (these costs were 3 years ago now, but hopefully still a good guide!)
We primed the walls by mixed paint with waiting for their first coat. I hope this helps! ☺️
omg, artex ceilings - asbestos and floor tiles - asbestos - you should have used a p3 filter all time while covering ceilings or scratching ceilings and mainly when removing floor tiles, also that black bitumen under the floor tiles was 10% at least asbestos, it shouldve been also removed or encapsulated before doing anything else. thats courage or not knowing what asbestos does to our bodies.
Hi,
We didn’t touch the artrex ceilings, these were skimmed over by a plasterer.
I’m a bit confused by your comment about the ceiling I was scraping off - do you mean the kitchen ceiling? If so, this was wallpaper I was scraping off.
We were advised about the marley floor tiles and black bitumen by our floor fitter, who advised to wear a mask during removal and that the level of asbestos would have been very small.
@@emmarosehorsley that was not a p3 filter mask, i just said, if anyone sees the video with those floors disturbed will presume asbestos fibers were released, many people do this without realising the real situation. plus so to understand you actually left in the premises all the asbestos materials without removing them? good one. ))))
@@bodyhater bold of you to assume that they didn't have these things checked before doing work. She already said they've been advised and taken extra precaution whilst removing the tiles/stripping the walls. You should've just accepted that and stopped trying to prove a point that was clearly not needed. Besides, I don't think flipping a house is something anyone should be doing if they aren't aware of these things, but clearly they knew what they were doing.
@@Lycoris02 well, its clearly obvious you got no idea what asbestos means and how fibers are released into air, 12k people die this year because of this slight ignorance, and next year guess what 15k people will die from it, and number will increase yearly, not decrease, fact. have a nice wonderful day.
Hi, could guide me what hardwood floor is that pls
hi! Sure the hardwood floor is LVT, it's in Auckland Oak from Karndean. :)
Compliments to you it's going to be beautiful and also to your family what I can gather by the download I think they help to break deal you should always cherish your family forgot one not everybody does I know because I don't
How long did this reno take?
Hi, it took roughly 6 months in total - we were working full-time, so we took annual leave in places, but we mostly worked at the weekends. Hope that helps! ☺️
Such a lovely bottom!
PLESE PLEASE PLEASE PUT YOUR SAFETY GLASSES ON WHEN WORKING ABOVE YOUR HEAD
having dropped a scrapper into my eye ,I wished I had
4:09 I hope you haven't breathed in all those asbestos floor tiles.
