So much work, and such an amazing result! Wish you all the best!

I love your videos u guys are doing a amazing job ❤

Nice homage to “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” in your music in this episode. Does that reflect your feelings about the project these days?

Well done. I love the repair concept of working with imperfections.

Thanks!

Great haircut, looking good.😎

Back in my student days I worked refinishing classic yachts - real gold leaf was used quite a bit by the marine sign painting artists - to add the yachts name to the transom, and for other decorative flourishes on the hull. Their work stands up to all the ocean can throw at it, so the products they use should work well on your house. A boat yard that specialises in high-end yacht refinishing might be able to help you find a good source closer to your area (one of the other commenters kindly supplied a link from New Zealand).

ik denk dat je later spijt krijgt dat je geen groot raam tot op de grond hebt gemaakt in uw living er is niks zo zalig als je zo toegang tot de binnenkoer hebt

How much land is yours???

Is Illia an engineer? Cause he do things really good. Great dea creating the slide to take the beans upstairs.

Maybe you can use a few of the old windows as art, or in a green house like someone else suggested.

Ask a picture-frame restaurator to do it or give you a small amount of the proper gold. Better to ask him to do it. There is more to it than just applying. And you dont need much. That leafgold comes in packets of 50 or 100 you need only one. Most pictureframe companies have one person who can do it. Also lot of old woodworkers can do that. Ask a restoration- shop for meubles.

A bench grinder and two gold wedding rings can provide more than enough swarf sparkles for your project Illia 🤷🏻‍♂️🍻

The blue stone window sills look fantastic.

@DeHoeveOldBelgianFarm Hiya guys re repair to broken sill. Next time think baking !!!!! Buy disposable plastic piping bags, put your repair mix into the bag, make a very small cut so you can slowly pipe the liquid into the crack or repair that has to be made. Alternatively use a zip lock bag and snip off a corner then pipe away until your hearts content. Cheers from OZ!

Hi you are amazing, beautiful work , windows will look perfect 😍 when all finished 😅

I enjoyed the QnA plus beer chat, thank you!

Very clever

I found a better real gold... latest video of Chateau Love... the gold comes from France called Charrtier

Nice to see the fossils so well in the blue limestone. I have also blue Belgian stone window sills but there are almost no fossils in those. It depends from what layer in the quarry it came I guess.

Hopelijk lukt het👍👍

That limestone was quite attractive. You’ll have pretty window sills.

have you plans about the 1908 Numbers at the front wall, do you want to highlight them anyway? nice technique for the crack, never thought as an solution for buildings but seen as kits for dishes here.

Matthew 4:4 King James Version 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Gods blessings over you .

Have you thought about getting some helpers in. Volunteers who watch the channel. It’s too much for one man.

Are you and your family living in the house while finishing the renovations?

Speaking of next time, there are syringes to squirt the liquid into cracks. I did something similar as you (epoxy) and later learned about syringes, which I used the next time and liked it.

I love the fossils in your bluestone. ♥️ I hope the crack repair works!

24 k gold leaf, pure gold, loose, for indoor and outdoor use. Will bond with stone, wood, metal, gib board.. loving the window sills with natural shells etc. Literly type this heading from All You Can Stick 😊 ur welcome

DickBlick has a 23 carat gold leaf brand name Mona Lisa. They are a highly reputable artist supply store.

💖💖💖💖🙏🙏

The stone is so beautiful and it is fun to see you experiment with all sorts of ways to preserve the original construction work. Using a form of kintsugi is a wonderful way of honoring the ancient stone. I look forward to seeing the result.

I was wondering if the woodworking technique of crack repair, mixing project sawdust with glue would work with your stone repair? Mix stone dust in with the mortar and fill the crack. Narragansett Bay.

Catspector approves the work❤❤❤

Illia you always do the most clever and interesting repairs. Cannot wait for the results. Window sills look great. Have the new windows arrived? Enjoyed the video. Have a great week.

De Hoeve cliff hanger!!!

As thin as the filler you are using maybe a turkey baster would fill the gaps faster??? Or maybe a veterinary large hypodermic needle used for large animals?

one doesn't realize how tall the windows are until seeing Marina standing in one.

I can't wait to see how it turns out! Have a wonderful week!

Check with a gilder

Ilya >>>> Let's do it................................ Done 👍

Love your repair philosophy, NC USA 🇺🇸

❤😊

Neat idea to use the knife as a vibration tool to get the plaster to fill the cracks easier.

bluestone is beautiful The old windows might not have been original, but I thought them beautiful, it makes me sad they were too far gone to keep.

I noticed you were using a level on your window sills , are you making the sill slope to the outside of the house so water will flow towards the outside?

Great VLOG!!! Crossing my fingers for the window sill crack repair!

Think it will be fine

Old spatulas are much easier to use for crack filler and you can push down with them and clean easier. Even use new ones as they are cheap. Also , fold a ridge in duck tape as to make a little dam to prevent side runoff.
