@@Jan_-_- Thank you 😁💫

@@UncleVague An absolute nightmare! All walls, doorframes and doors are off. I'm always torn on whether to go with the slope or build everything level and make the wonkiness more noticeable. I went for building it all level here, hence the gaps. The walls are also a nightmare to drill into - either rock hard or crumbly. It's a house of horrors! 😂🤣

@@HouseFairyDIY Ah I really feel for ya, I understand what you mean about those old walls, it's a special moment when you can drill a hole that actually resembles a hole instead of an "open eye" kind of shape 🤣 I'm working my way through your videos, you've done so much, and while it feels never ending sometimes, it will all pay off, but alas there will always be something to keep you busy. It's also fun....sometimes 😁👍

@@stewartfearn3473 No, it wasn't me but I would like to know who my vocal doppelganger is. Thank you for this awesome compliment though!

@HouseFairyDIY Also a Hannah, which made me wonder. Probably wrong County...Cheshire.

@@stewartfearn3473 Wrong woman for sure, but your compliment has lifted my spirits anyway. 🌟

Thank you so much! This was a few years ago now. I've since built a kitchen in this room having laid a porcelain tile floor.

@@UncleVague Thank you so much! 😁

Thanks :)

Safe enough for my house.

Thank you Tony! The doggies are, in fact, famous influencers with their own highly successful Instagram and KZbin channels - 'DiddyDoggy' ;)

I will have to check them two out 😊,,,,absolutely love dogs 🐕❤take care, Tony here in the UK 🇬🇧

Thanks! You can see photos of my doggies at 'DiddyDoggy' channel :)

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you 👆😉

Thank you 😁

Hi Andy. Lovely to hear from you. I hope you're feeling better and getting back out onto the water. We're ok thanks. There is light at the end of the tunnel!

@@HouseFairyDIY ❤️

Nice job 🙂👍

Yes, a wrecking bar would certainly have helped me. I only discovered them recently thanks to my builder lending me one. I used it to remove several stumps and found it made all the difference.

Thanks! The odd flag is hidden now by by bench swing.

I can sympathise with that! My advice is to add a tad more water, seeing as it's summer. Don't forget to seal your floor first. Have an extra bag ready just in case. You can always return unused bags to the shop. Good luck!

Yes, it was more to smooth the surface as the floor was already level. In my other video, you can see me using a spirit level at the end and it shows it's perfectly level. I wanted a super smooth surface because I was installing rectified porcelain tiles and wanted to make the job easier to avoid lippage.

@@HouseFairyDIY ahh ok good job 👍

Thanks :)

I can certainly sympathise! It's the worst job as efforts seem futile. Do an hour a day and take your time.

That what I’m goin to do thank u. If u can do it I can do it 😂💪

Setcrete Primer.

It depends on the room temp. A couple of hours in the summer and overnight in the winter.

Thanks and good luck with your removal.

Thanks

Go for it!

Thanks Allan. Hopefully it still looks ok when painted!

Thank you!

Thanks :)

Thanks for your fab comment! I've taken your feedback and added tips to my latest video - a plastering job. Just uploading! :)

Thank you!

It sure was painful! I must have tried to squeeze it in about 30 times! I often turn the sound off because of all the huffing, puffing and cursing! 🤣Pickle jumped on my lap. He's a rescue and stuck to me like glue. Diddy is far more cool! I have now owned five Yorkies. Yes, very yappy little lunatics but I've tried other breeds and not enjoyed them as much. Thanks for the comment! 😍

It was a lot more work than shown in this video. I must have tried about 15 times! I wish I'd just taken all the plaster off at the start. Lesson learnt! Pickle (the dog) now tells people I couldn't have done it without his help!

I have another video of this job that's longer and shows the finished result.

Thank you :) I am relieved it worked out ok, I must say!

I did have a large rubber mallet but it wasn't impactful enough, so resorted to using my feet in places. Using my feet also meant I could squidge back and forth, which helped.

Grazie!

Hi Andy. I still have three cast iron fireplaces and they aren't going anywhere. I suspect the Victorians set up a kitchen in the front room and decided they didn't need a range in the back room, so switched it for one purely for heating. It was a very green room as I've also found green hearth tiles and green doorframe paint. I was told it would cost £5k for a log burner to be bought and installed. However, that cost has now been reduced to about £2k I believe as I've opened up the fireplace myself, will tile the hearth myself, the chimney and flue are in good condition and all I need now is to get a cherry picker man to drop a liner down...and buy the burner. I could just use a grate...still an option! Good to hear you will be making more videos. You must be feeling a little better. What you need is a little dog on the front of your canoe 🐕

Thanks Allan. The best thing about doing this job myself was being able to get it done immediately and not keep waiting for months on end for a workman to be free to do a small job. I know some people who have been waiting years for a workman.

You’re welcome 😊

So sorry I never replied to your message. KZbin doesn't inform me of them all. How did it go?

That's ok, i was using a pourable adhesive which is amazing because it's self leveling compound in one and no need to back butter the tiles I had 2 rows left and ran out of this stuff which I have to order as its hard to get hold of so I used different adhesive which I struggled with wish I had waited and ordered some couple tiles are not entirely flat, getting walls plastered tomorrow and then I'm gonna tile the walls 🤞

Thanks!

Ha ha! It's my first ever soap on a rope and I'm hooked! ;) It's Bronnley lemon soap on a roap with Sicilian lemon. We bought it in a charity shop!

@@HouseFairyDIY Nice find 😁👍
