  • This is the start of the mammoth task of getting this building into a usable condition. New chimney, windows, sections of roof, new doors and groundworks still to be done... watch this space!

    I find quick motion or fast forwarding, whatever you call it, very satisfying…looking forward to the next video. It’s been a lovely building in its time

    The conical thing is an old 1950/1960 Pyrene, soda/acid fire extinguisher. There should be a line of rivets down the side.The instructions for use said bash the brass plunger to break the acid capsule then invert to use. we had these at my old primary school in the '50's they would have been painted red originally. A collectors item now!

      Not only fire extinguisher used this shape, could be as well be an pesticide/fertilizer sprayer from 1870ish- 1930s...

    Ben, Looking forward to your videos as i like to restore & build gadgets myself. It‘s a fire extinguisher the bit at the bottom of the cone is the plunger and the jet at the top
    I would either chop out one side of the floor or build up the low side as it will be a constant trip hazard in a workshop when carrying larger objects. Cheers Dave

    Quite a job. Lots of junk inside and bushes outside.
    I like watching transformations and seeing all the different situations that come up during.
    As a Registered Nurse, it's always a bit hard to watch when folks forget about Masks or Safety Googles, etc. In old buildings like this wearing a mask is very important, especially as dust can have rodents feces, lead, and who knows what?
    I look forward to seeing the transition

    Seeing some painted walls & the fireplace & the fancy chair - it looks as tho someone was trying to make this into a home, and the outline of the building certainly looks like a cottage rather than just a utility 'building' or a shed.

    • @ben-kilner
      @ben-kilner  Před měsícem +1

      It was used as a storage space by the neighbours for a long time and the local kids used to make dens in there. Before that it was a functioning stables and potting shed 👍 it is super damp in there - I got two lung infections just working in there, living would be mighty soggy 😅 damp proof membranes, ground works around the outside and new gutters should help 🤞🤞

    @Laxpowertoo Před měsícem +2

    Nice place - green with envy here. The ancient fire extinguisher is only good for an ornament now. You had to bash the end on the floor to break a vile of acid, which mixed with the water and sodium bicarbonate mix and shot the whole contents out of the pointy end. You only got one go, and they weren't very efficient.

      @ben-kilner  Před 11 dny

      I think it may have been however when I removed the raised slab it was clay and rubble underneath. It is possible that the raised part was the original height and lower section had been dug down at a later date. I’ll cover it in a future episode 🤓
