    As a bricklayer I can assure you that there is no work more thankless, hard and dirty than restoring an old house, but it is still interesting and pleasant when by chance, you come across historical objects of all kinds, old photos, coins, knives or firearms almost as old as the house itself. But in spite of all the dust, cobwebs and all kinds of junk, the final result of the work is always a source of pride and satisfaction and you end up liking to go on restoring instead of building a new house.

      I enjoyed your video! I love the history in old houses and admire your determination to do this mountain of work! Although it’s refreshing to watch just your work I really would have liked a few short sentences of explanation about what’s going on with the room your in, the damage and your plan then to watch it unfold! I’m guessing maybe language would be an issue?? Also where are you living? What kind of farming are you doing and what vision do you have for that part? I’ll be watching, and thanks for sharing this,

    Now, as an old man, with a lifetime of building restoration experiences from centuries old Manor House’s to small old farm cottages, I feel lost for words at what you have achieved and continue to achieve building your family home together. Anything I say can never fully compliment you both in the way you truly deserve. Your dedication, your work ethic, your tenacity, your determination. My admiration for you both is way beyond my abilities to convey to you in meaningful words.
    From one human to a very special pair of humans I wish to say that I am very proud of you, thank you. In a very rapidly changing world, one that at times I no longer recognise, you give me hope that hard work, along with all those other good human qualities that I mentioned earlier are still to be seen and found in this world’s younger generations. Don’t forget….. Be proud of all that you have achieved and you both continue to achieve.👍

    This is more like a complete rebuild rather than a renovation. The amount of work is staggering, but even more impressive is that it was done by (apparently) just two people, plus a little help from two kids, the ReadyMIX dudes and the ladder climbing cat. The diverse skills needed were extensive (concrete, masonry, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, glazing, landscaping, welding, painting, tiling, and whatever else I left out). Except for the baby tractor and a few power tools, the work was done by hand. It was a complete tour de force of the construction trades. Further, the work is almost professional grade. Well done!

    I really appreciated three things about this video - no talk, just work; your amazing Tuxedo cat; and the back story which is never really addressed - the project's cost. I realize that isn't the point of this video, but it is an important factor in any renovation project. I loved watching you two work. Your project was/is absolutely amazing. I was struck by the sturdiness of the brick. I realize you did replace a LOT of brick as you went, but mostly with brick you had recovered from some of the outbuildings that you razed. All in all the brick you used was amazingly well preserved. I was also struck by your evident familiarity with stresses, load-bearing walls, and other structural imperatives. (I am still left wondering how much this wonderful project set you back. LOL) Bravo for a wonderful visual experience.

    Can’t believe the amount of work you’ve put in to the property, a lot of people say we’re doing it ourselves but often don’t, you’ve proven otherwise.
    I’m sure your hard work will turn the property into a wonderful home.
    Especially liked the fact that the furry building inspector kept an eye on the quality of work being carried out. 😂

    - What can be done from an abandoned building - rebuild a new beautiful home!
    - I want to thank you for the fact that you have combined all the series of video recordings into one, + accelerated video... giving us the opportunity to appreciate your enormous physical work!!!

    When I watch videos such this I can only appreciate how much hard work and commitment is invested in bringing the house back to its original structural beauty. I always imagine that old houses and old furnitures breathe a sigh of relief when they are renovated and they are grateful. I will continue watching your improvements and wish you all the best this new year.

    Thank you for taking us on the journey. It is the sort of thing that I would have loved to have been part of back when I was younger, but it's way too late in the day for me now. I have relatable skills but am more used to working with nuts, bolts and metal components in my rebuilds.

    Truly amazing! You are such hard workers and accomplish a great deal every day, especially the cat, who endlessly keeps watch and protects the household! My ancestors are Belgian and I enjoy thinking that, perhaps they watched your house being built and I am watching it being renovated and rebuilt! I can't wait to watch more! Thank you for sharing!

    Love it. reminds me of what we did 35 years ago in 3 of the houses we consecutively owned in the UK. but i do regret the endless time and money we spent that we could have spent on family etc. we had full time jobs, twins a few months old and very little money. the first house took 20 years the 2nd 6. we learned a lot, made mistakes but now we are reaping the reward but i am now 62 years old.

    We started to follow projects like this about abandoned farm restorations over two year ago. We were so inspired by these kind of content that we decided to start our own abandoned farm restoration project. In September 2022 we bought a piece of land in Spain that has a beautiful stone house “in bad condition” that will be restored later this year 2023. We started to share our journey in the hope to inspire others, as we were inspired. We are very grateful for you guys for sharing your journey with us. Thank you
