Maybe you would consider subscribers buying a joist to help with the cost of this stage. I, for one would donate the cost of a joist and maybe in return you would write the name of the donor on the actual joist,this would be a tangible way to feel they are physically part of the renovation and at the same time connect with the building. The name of the donor will be hidden eventually but would remain for generations. Just a small discreet inscription. What's your thoughts
This is a marathon not a sprint and as such just try and enjoy it after all you will only do this once. So stop now and again and look back to the beginning, only then will you realise how far you have come on your journey on the home renovation project. After all your many subscribers look forward to your weekly update and i for one will miss it when it is completed but then again i will beglad for you and marion.
Hello Lewis/Marion, the joist installation is looking good. One thing that I was taught when I did my Carpentry & Joinery course (1994-1997) was when you install joists, just take a little time to check for those that are slightly cupped. Those that are need to be installed so that the cup is face-upwards, i.e. where the flooring gets nailed or screwed down to. That way, the cupping will eventually get nullified and levelled off due to the weight of items on the flooring. Hope this makes sense? All the best (ATB)
Excellent teamwork! A man once said ,possibly quoting another, “God reveals potential through process and opportunity as ordinary.” This can be applied of course to ourselves but also to the work we set our hands and hearts to completing. Patience, then experience and then hope. These are definitely not shameful things when done in love. What a beautiful record of your love both for each other and for the task you are both undertaking. The journey is the whole thing, isn’t it. Keep walking in love.
Building a floor is next level DIY… Considering you probably building your first floor, you will learn some lessons that will help you on when your reach the second level of this game of renovation…have fun next week!
You need more scaffold and a chain lift. You risk one of you getting hurt struggling off material piles, short ladders, etc. Make it easiest that you can, as muscling it will only go so far. Good luck!
I love your channel and really wish I could contribute to your building endeavors' funds.But I just can't do it financially. So I watch every episode to help you get some money. Please ask for everyone that watches your videos to subscribe, and that should help you immensely. You might have a lot of people that just watch, but don't subscribe and there's no reason for them not to subscribe because it costs them nothing, so please on your episodes ask people to subscribe, I know it will help you more. Which, in turn will get you more money for your renovation! I love watching what you're doing. Your narration of the videos with your gift of speaking eloquently is just a whole other plus to watching the work be done on your renovation! Love your channel!❤
If you look up, you'll see a couple of steel I-beams. Place your joists between the I-beams. You won't have to enlarge 20 holes in the masonry and deal with levering them into place. It'll be much easier putting them between the I-beams. If you think the span is too long, you can put up one more I-beam between the existing ones. With a shorter span, you could possibly use a less bulky joist which would be cheaper to buy and easier to handle. And of course your job is already done so I guess if someone else has the same issue, they could use the tip.
I guess one downside to that is the flooring - assuming it'll be bare floor boards without a subfloor, would run the length of the width of the room whereas preferably the floor would run the longest stretch. Then again they may be having multiple rooms on that floor so visually would be less distracting anyway.
@@GotMoreCakes Yeah, you have to consider what your finished floor is going to be. Like I said, they're project is past the "we can change it" point. Its just food for thought for someone else looking for ideas.
Just take a notch out of the beam. Much easier than making the masonry sockets bigger. You will still get a sturdy beam with reduced deflection over the old ones.. There will be virtually no loss in structural performance
the old one is probably much denser and therefore stronger. But maybe time partially destroyed them. Today wood is not as strong as old one - growing faster, because using nitrogen & etc. Try count tree rings on the same distance
Everyrhing must adhere to a budget, but it seems like a steel joist sleeve would have saved you tremendous amounts of pain and agony. Love from americas top hat. 🍁
For future joist placement, if there is any, would it have allowed you to leave more on the joist if you had put one end in and then swung the joist to one side or the other and then brought it up to the proper height and tried to insert it? Or even swing it to one side and then bring it up above the corresponding hole and then down and in? Less wall to impede in either of those situations.

Great idea!
Love the idea!!
Rome wasn't built in a day. Keep up the good work!! Think how beautiful and safe the floor will be. Teamwork makes the dream work!!
What a team. Mammoth mental and physical work. Love how you put together and narrate these videos.
You two are amazing! Just think how beautiful the finished project will be. Thanks for posting your wonderful and inspiring progress.

Good idea sealing those joist ends 👍
What a team!
Well done Lewis and Marion.
Absolutely fascinating & riveting viewing,both working hard to,👍

It does make sense. Unfortunately we did not do this, but the ‘cupping’ is very slight. When we do next floor i’ll bear this is mind. Cheers.
😮Blimey, that was a big job
Lovely soundtrack, I really appreciate the time you take to source the tracks Lewis 😊
Really cool to see Marion taking charge in enlarging the joist pockets!
La Pazienza é la virtú dei forti. Bravi continuate Così
Keep having fun while work is slow, hard. Your both worth more together than getting work done.
If you have any old slate tiles these are really good for levelling beams etc as they are super strong under compression. Onwards and upwards!
A labour of love ❤
Someone else mentioned a scaffold: get a proper one. Otherwise, nothing else than respect and kudos!
Complimenti un lavoraccio ingrato e faticoso. Quanta pazienza bravissimi
Best of luck this coming week. Hope a system begins to be revealed so each joist goes more quickly. 👍

Marion is very clever. And how strong! Keep it up,good luck whit the renovation!

Fantastic work. A great video! Thank you!
onwards and upwards, much success to you
No renovation plan survives first contact with the house.
Well done keep going it will be worth it in the end.

Is it a good idea to change the weight distribution in that way in an old house with any calculation an eventual reinforcement?
👍
Just take a notch out of the beam. Much easier than making the masonry sockets bigger. You will still get a sturdy beam with reduced deflection over the old ones.. There will be virtually no loss in structural performance
Have you considered putting just one steel beam in the middle and have the floor joists run perpendicular in between the steelbeams?
Would pay you to set what Dan has done on Escape yo rural france youtube channel. Steel could be your solution.

I'm not sure I would grab a screwdriver and a hammer for such a dounting task.
For future joist placement, if there is any, would it have allowed you to leave more on the joist if you had put one end in and then swung the joist to one side or the other and then brought it up to the proper height and tried to insert it? Or even swing it to one side and then bring it up above the corresponding hole and then down and in? Less wall to impede in either of those situations.
👍👍
What happened to your hammer drill? Would make enlarging the joist holes easier and faster.
You have to work with more ecare if you have those kind of stone walls, a hammer drill might be to powerfull and could cause unwanted damage
7:26 put them protectors on!!!!!!!
Come on guys. Good job.just speed it up.othervise u need 200years just to finish one room.
Not if you us the beam size use metal end on the bottom
👍👍👍
