Repairing and plasterboarding 160yr old crumbly arched window
Vložit

- This I guess is part two of the lining out the hallway/stairs in the house. starting with repairing the loose stones and bricks under the arched window. Then lining out the window, including the compound curve of the arch which was fun! then I also included making up the false arch under the steel beam at the bottom of the stairs.
Just having this wall finished, even to this level has made a massive difference, it is much warmer and less dusty, and there was a huge draught coming through the hole where those pipes go down into the kitchen.

I love your channel, and i also love that over the last ten years content makers have almost all gone down the same route of product placement, sponsorship, patreon, bullshit adverts for all sorts of unrelated guff and here we are in 2022 and you are at the top of your game and doing it your own way with no voice over, no music and im hooked! i love it. I dont know how you monetize it, or of you will but it feels like retro video making and im glad of it. thanks.
We need to support him by watching more of his videos. He the jack of all trades its amazing how he knows how to do nearly everything by himself.
❤An example of someone who does everything to the best of his ability... What moves me is that he's building it for his wife and children. I wish them a truly happy future in it.
That laser level must be worth it’s weight in gold.
Crazy how Tesco has exactly what you need.
"Every little 50mm helps"
Someone stole the berg from his batton :-(
Every episode I learn something new. One of the most underrated channels. Love the progress.
Это все не верно , дому сто лет , а после такого ремонта он сгниёт за 10 лет . Тепло изоляция по кирпичу возможна только с наружи !!!! При морозе кирпич промерзает и вся влага от тепла скатывается по нему в внутрь кладки. Мальчик с руками но образования мало по теплотехнике.
I'm genuinely fascinated watching your videos. The dedication, workmanship and humour make these a must watch for me. And it'll be nice for the little one to know she had a small hand in redoing part of that window wall.......Daddy's little helper!
Okay. I know we both speak English… but your terms are incredibly foreign to me, yet I can’t wait for your next video. You are a genius! BTW: I DO understand “wonky”… no misunderstanding there!
Man, your place is turning into a palace. Nice work!
I do hope you will do a before & after when you have this all finished. Your daughter is gorgeous and now the house will really mean something to her because she helped you in restoring it. Well done.
It’s almost as if you watched Mike Hadduck’s channel before starting. Gotta wet down that stone. Ain’t no big deal! Great job!
Just pure therapy to watch . Bring on the plastering.
Both the battens on the hall arch and the screws and board gaps in the window arch gave me some cool ideas for some awesome arches.
Pleasing to see someone at least knows how to make it better than it was. I think the original builders of your wall and arch must have had an extended pub lunch!
I used to have a 300 yr old rubble stone cottage. Very similar walls.
I'm not sure but it could be the better craftsmen were used on the outer skin and the 'trainees' used on the inner skin. Then of course you wouldn't see the inner skin anyway.
Also, it must be remembered this house will have shifted all over the place as proper foundations were sort of unheard of!
@@JohnnyMotel99 A few quick searches and I couldn't find anything related to the inner core walls of these homes. Could well be that it was understood that the inner walls would be plastered over, and structural integrity was unnecessary. Hard to say, but I tend to agree with you that "first year" apprentices may well have done that work! Also, looks like a cavity was purposefully left between inner and outer walls-- and rubble was allowed to fall between (doesn't appear like they meant to fill that cavity). Air barriers are known good insulation between extremes-- could be timeless knowledge, I don't know. What's known is, temperature extremes tend to produce "weeping" of humidity on opposing surfaces-- which could account for some of the mortar degradation on the inner core (just a thought).
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 The plaster he removed I think was all imperveable (pink) gypsum directly on stone, brick, not traditional lime that lets the building breath. Plus he removed some internal cement that also traps moisture. Possibly also modern plastic based paint, wallpaper also sealing moisture. Additionally I think there is ribbon/strap cement pointing to the exterior which again traps moisture from outside. This causes the stone to disintegrate, corrode over time.
(Just from what I've read on the topic, not personal knowledge/qualifications)
My brother and Ido the same thing but in a 2010 house. Every room gets gutted. Each room gets 20k to 200k of work and materials. It's awesome having a helper. We do tons of CNC work and everything is wood working. Amazing paneling complex arches. Tones of kerfing. I love your channel because I want to start adding plaster elements to parts of the infinity house.
I cannot find a good enough superlative to describe my awe at this man's skills and precision. Not only that. It is his blissful and relaxed matter of fact approach that makes his videos so genuine and contrasting from this "IN YOUR FACE" world of CZcams. Rinse and repeat. :)
This house needs someone with your skill and your little helper top job
Impressive! I could watch all day to the fabulous transformation you can do. Thank you for taking us along on this journey,
High quality work by the mini apprentice!
Watching you scribe into a wonky ceiling reminded me of my father do the same thing in my childhood home. He said that none of the rooms were square. He completely redid the oldest house i our county after we moved in. I remember a master mason? replaster the inside of the living room.
Awesome job and a lovely apprentice.
Watching you work is a priceless example of patience, tenacity, skill, experience. Thank you so much for sharing. Your work is exemplary.
meanwhile, wife and kids have bean living in a shed in the garden for 23 years!
@@mikedakin2016 Wait, is this a CZcams channel or an episode of Grand Designs?
Subscribed. I don't think I've ever seen anone woodcraft at this level of mastery. You're planning and patience and adapting to the unforseen is enviable. You've singlehandedly elevated carpentry to an art form.
Never saw Norm Abrams do this, amazing work!
I’m a plasterer and I see all levels of plasterboarding. There is nothing I like better than skimming over the work a good joiner has done.
I swear to God i could watch you work all day, learning lots!!!
If only the very expensive so called "specialists" I used in helping me restore my Georgian house paid half as much attention to the detail that you have then I might have got a decent result. As it was they didn't, so I didn't either. So I ended up doing it all again, myself.
Excellent work !
Incedible how many "experts" are out there, isn't it
I am 46yo and still to this day, I remember building flower beds with my dad, when I was still being pushed around in a buggy lol , hopefully your daughter will remember to lol .
Amazing! Im a red seal carpenter in Newfoundland Canada and we have old school Victorian homes all over the place. My family owns a few and ive been tasked with doing their renovations. Rubble in the walls, ceilings, evereything! Cool to see the same things in different houses but in different places around the world. Keep up the good content man
Fantastic! I’m a carpenter too,in England,but my ancestors are from……. Newfoundland!!!! 👍👍👍
My grandfather was a Newfie carpenter. I haven’t been there in almost 50 years now, but the stones here remind me of Cabot tower.
A true perfectionist!
There should be a small gap between wall and ceiling to fill with acrylic, and the blunt ends of the boards should have a V-cut (there is a tool for that).
I've been watching you off & on, for a while now. You define the meaning of craftsman.
You had me worried knocking all the old lime mortar off, with a beautifully bone dry wall. Really good to see you using lime. 👍
Top work as ever, reveals are something else! 👏👏
That is one great chimney pot. Your craftsmanship, unsurpassed, and you’ve got the most beautiful little helper. Thanks for sharing with us. I always pick up a few tips from your work.👍🏽👏🏼
That is coming together nicely! I bet you're proud as a peacock. If you're not you should be
Things I have learned from this: 1) your skills are fantastic, 2) your home will be amazing when completed, 3)your little helper is really sweet! 4) never knew Tesco sold battens!😉
between Battenberg cake and the Battery aisles.
Works of art. Such a pleasant change from having annoying background music - it was just great to watch and to learn from your skill.
Perfect little helper.
the going rate for an ounce of your inertia and persistence, priceless
one of the best channels on you tube
Unbelievably meticulous. Unfortunately mate, you’re a dying breed now, far too many cowboys out there that are only interested in a pound note instead of achieving a quality finish like you do. Great work as always 👍🏻
Lovely Saturday morning watch 👌
Little tip. If you go to Morrisons on a sunday afternoon you can usually pick up 50mm angle batten for half price as it is short dated.
Side note: You cannot do this with the 172mm battens as they only make them to order.
I would recommend numbering the bricks by row and column if you plan to remove a lot. It helped when I tuckpointed the brick wall in my loft.
In your three years on CZcams you have surpassed all others with your skill, knowledge, professionalism and clear thinking approach in all that you do, you are the standard that others must aspire to, if anyone who wants to do something right, first time...It is you Russell they must thank.
Could watch this man wash his car do housework take the dog out anything, will always be the most efficient and skilled way to do it with endless tips and tricks
Every video I learn some new terms- kerfing and soldiers added to my bluffers guide to renovation!
Applause from over here in Freedomland. Your drywall skills are definitely turned up to 11. I'd add that it's about time you got yourself an apprentice... she's adorable.
I'm impressed Russell, You put all the bricks / stone back in the original place, and you did not have to number them to remember LOL. And again lots of lessens learnt for me. Great job as always.
oh my goodness😍 she's a babydoll. soooo cute😊
Brilliant, you had me in stitches with the 50mm and 172mm battens from Tesco.
Is there anything this man cannot do?! What a craftsman!
i was just convinced to sub. the little helper pushed me over edge.
Give this man a T.V series!! Brilliant work as usual.
Hear your sentiments but please no.................TV would ruin an excellent You Tuber with inane voiceovers, music and irritating presenters!
@@Blade1310 exactly. They'll insist on injecting the zen-like ambience with annoying music and voiceovers, lol.
What for. TV is a dying medium, people like him jumped the ship and are able to have a presence only thanks to the internet.
I really like that you make a windows covers in angle to bring more light in to the room.
Another craftsmanship video. Thank you
1:57 You sound exactly like my dentist
A master craftsman at good. Learn a lot from your video.
"I bought some 172mm battens from Tesco" by eck that is the Yorkshire sense of humor! The project is coming along and some good detail that, in another 100 years, someone will uncover and think hey that is a clever solution. Are you missing the stained glass panel above the front door?
Dry-stone walling is an ancient Yorkshire craft, but you rarely see it used indoors. :-)
My mum's house is also in Yorkshire (Colne valley) and was built somewhere between 1250 and 1500. That has walls around 1m thick (at the base, there is a pronounced batter) was built with the local clay packed between the stones rather than any kind of mortar. With those you really did have to choose where to stop pulling out loose stones, as they were all loose when the weight comes off.
Where was the dry stone wall? He used mortar
@@Miss_Toots It was a joke, because of how little was holding in the stones before the work started
Pam Ayres had a little poem about dry stone walling. -- "I am a dry stone waller. All day I dry stone wall. Of all appalling callings. Dry stone walling's worst of all"
It's coming on. Looking forward to your next video.
Is your Tesco's a superstore? Mine didn't sell the 172 mm battens.
They delivered a 'replacement item' 150 mm batten berg by Mr Kipling.
Glad I'm not the only one who saw that and thought "eh? Tesco?"
Well, that was an education...!
Thanks for posting.
I'm just amazed at your skills, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, plastering, cabinetry. Is there anything you can"t do?
An oft over-looked tool, the scallywag. Not every home has one or needs one, but when you need it, you need it.
You had me going with your Tesco shopping but eventually I clicked!!!! Just call me slow! Beautiful memories for your little helper x
I love watching these videos
For a highly skilled cabinet maker you make a bloody good house renovator !! 😁
Man there are so many great projects on this channel, I don’t know which one is my favorite.
Unbelievable work. I kept thinking “nope, I’d get bored of doing this but and give up”.
A lot of love goes into your work , I bet you dread having to call someone in to do anything as you set the bench mark way high!!! Who's plastering? 🤣excellent as ever Russ.Cheers M
Totally in the mood for this right now 👍
Your little scalawag won't remember helping at that age but pics & vids will be treasured by everyone -- even her -- in the future! Helper pics are also great holiday card material! Nice work BTW.
You must have greatly improved the value of your house. One day, you will realise the financial value - but for many years until then, you will enjoy the value of living in it.
Your brickwork hurts me a bit, but I forgive You for being so good at almost every thing else.. 😉 Love to see Your videos, great work..! Karl.
A million drywall screws later, and you are still upright! Lovely job--your work o the arch curves was superb!
Good old Tesco helping out 👍🏻 Really good watching a craftsman do his stuff 🤣
I don't think some people will appreciate the sear amount of work that has gone into all the work in your house. It's a credit to you. Fair play.
Love your attention to detail and your unhurried and purposeful approach.
Nothing better than watching a skilled craftsman at work in my honest opinion,like Vickie said i'd love to see a before and after photos if possible.
You’re amazing at your craft mate.
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤ 🎀
Fantastic, I think you're better than Norm !!
Great job it’s going to look beautiful when finished. I love this journey your taking as on.For me I’m getting some great ideas and tips from this so thanks for showing us
One of my favorite episodes.. amazing techniques, I love your channel
Excellent work. You should of hidden some of today's newspapers in the arch
Really good work. thought I hate to be the bloke that as to change that window out in the future. ;O)
Lovely old job
I started watching your videos and immediately appreciated the fact that you're not in the greatest hurry! But, you and I are different animals! You stained sapelle! I would have bought mahogany. And, on the stairs you employed tape when you clearly have the discipline to do without. Our approach is different but the result you display is without defect as far as I can see. And us older guys so enjoy the critique of people who really know because our hands are hardened through our labors. Thank you for the great pleasure of watching you at work!
Ya know, you won't be able to sell that house!
your patience, even with a material like drywall, is envious. I hate drywall with a passion and would never take the time to get the cuts so exact, I'd just pack it with mud like most people.
Incredible!! Not sure I would have installed the second arch preferring a flat look. Superb work though, thanks for sharing
I am continually amazed by the old methods of construction used in the UK. The oldest building I ever worked on was a house built in the early 1700’s. The floor joists were oak logs that were debarked, flattened on one side. Tried drilling holes through them to run electrical wiring. After three bits and one drill we gave up and got a code variance to run the cable across the bottom of the beams. Looking really nice. Can’t wait to see it all finished. You should let your little helper in more. She obviously knows what she’s doing. Good dad! My little girl loved working on building projects.
Perfect accompaniment to my cup of tea in bed this morning. Thank you.
Oh to be a talented craftsmen 👌👌to be fair new builds are built like that now lol
"Course" of bricks. Thank you.
Great job, bad choice of MDF for the sill, 5 years and it will need replacing.
Awesome as a whole.
I Really enjoyed this video! Really de-stressing!! Excellent!!!👌👍
Exceptional. Amazing work.
Good to have that little helper check the quality of the work too...
Very interesting thank you .
Those battens are so much nicer than the 160mm ones from Asda.
Nice work as always 😃👍
