    They couldn’t afford insulation and used plywood to try and block the cold.

    • @ruthscott5166
      @ruthscott5166 Před 25 dny +2

      Maybe, but I've recently learned that wood has a low R value - so it shouldn't affect the house too much if all the windows and doorways are sealed.

      @suzannestrauss9251 Před 25 dny +4

      What if flooring for the walls kept moisture down? Kind of makes sense being on the water and heavy winters tracking snow in and out and not wanting the stairs and walls to get ruined by moisture. Hmmm I don't know but can't help but think there was a reason for it.

    • @anneyday3493

But then I met a lady and invited her around for coffee and she brought her husband. He enjoyed looking around my garden and asked if I kept bees. I told him I didn't and he went on to say it would be good for me to do that and even suggested a spot for the hive! Then today a lady came doing the national census and one of the questions was do I keep bees!? I was beginning to wonder if I should but after watching the first minute of this video I decided against it. 😂

    They may have put it up because they liked the wood panel solid look. they did not like the bead board, some people do not. It was a cheap solution at one time. People use to do that then paint it a solid color. I prefer the bead board it is so cottage and country. Amazing it is not damaged as far as I can see. Just trim it out you got it. A good coat or two of paint will look spectacular. Love the ceilings have it too. Can not wait until the next one. Suspense. Love the color of the bench. Peace!

    This is going to be such a spectacular mini reno. Is there beadboard behind the plywood walls in the kitchen and living room too? Wouldn't that be crazy beautiful. A big mirror or picture or cubbies could hide that beadboard patch in the entryway above where the bench is going. Extra storage is always a good thing. I have no thoughts as to why they covered everything with the plywood. So weird. It really makes me wonder what is behind the kitchen and living room walls. Can't wait to see the reveal.

So happy to see it being restored, can't wait for the rest of this makeover. My cottage is tiny, similar to this one but without the ocean view :) I am surrounded by beautiful trees though and my cottage was a little dark, lots of pine boards on the wall, painted a lot of it white to brighten it up, but kept some pine walls because I love the rustic as well :)

    👏👏👏👌This unfolding is fun to watch.The removal of was what covering some of original walls and ceiling makes such a difference! I hope the rest of it in other rooms can be removed as well, so the rooms don't appear so visually busy.

    You hit the jackpot on your in-laws house! I can’t wait to see what you discover next. Could original bead board be hiding in the kitchen as well???

    Obviously the style was a personal choice of the owner that did the work. I'm sure if you check a few restaurants in Halifax you would find the same ideas used to update a space. It's fantastic that they didn't use adhesive to attach the wood and plank flooring, so you can relatively easily return it to what it was. The grommets were definitely used as part of the aesthetic. Its going to be beautiful when you finish putting Mom's fav colours and things in. Lots of work but well worth it!

    OMG! That plywood is so tacky!! You did the right thing!! A little hint - that seat with the bad leg - can it be fixed or just put a 2x4on the wall and turn the seat around so the back will rest on the 2x4. Idid this for a good friend and she loves it!!
