Lovely old house

It is fine to insulate BUT these houses need ventilation else you're just going to trap moisture inside.

I had the same thoughts when using the aerogel and adhesive. The adhesive reluctantly adheres to the aerogel so best to apply on a flat surface then move the aerogel to a vertical surface and press on and hope for the best!

What is your opinion about Reactr? And please put the camera on your helmet

Thanks for sharing. Im moving into a stone cottage in the borders soon and trying to figure out how to insulate it… This is all brilliant but its a LOT of time and wet trades. You said it’s called on the harth, is there another method? Would be great to see an update on how it has/hasnt improved over the last couple of years too :)

Your Twitter thread links no longer work due to account no longer existing. Do you have the information in some other form? Thanks.

Nice perspectiv❤

What’s the verdict now you’ve paddled it a bit more on different kind of rivers?

Which boat is you Jonathan?

Nice bro

Lovely method, I watched the video to see if there is a way to mix together modern passive house style air tight buildings and HVAC ERV ventilation with an old and breathable stone house. It seems like you've gone closer to the breathable old school way of working. How do you find humidity and ventilation inside the house? Are you happy with the results?

I have a not too dissimilar house in a very similar location with a similar name! Needing to do something to tye utility room, probably this!

What do you need to do to attach things to the wall? I assume long screws to go into the stone?

What happened in 1919?

I realise it adds a lot of extra effort to film on top of the huge project you have taken on so many thanks for taking the time and trouble. Unfortunately, I had to stop watching half-way through. because the jerky camera movements and over-fast pans were making me feel a bit sick. I enjoyed your narration though and it is always fascinating to see what is lurking behind the walls of an old property.

Omg....did i feel motion sick after watching 🤢....all that spinning around to the right👎....otherwise it was a good watch👍

I liked your vid, but it's very quiet. Out of interest how thick are those walls? It's built like a bomb shelter!

It's lovely to see people using this method, we are doing the same in our cold Victorian cottage with solid walls. It's worth the money and effort. I would recommend a fibreglass mesh though, I found the lime plaster is prone to shrinking and cracking.

Thanks for sharing. We have a 300 year old stone house in North pennines and are looking at retro insulating in a breathable way. You mention a lime mortar that you mix with sharp sand to repair stonework but I can't catch the word before, sounds like Saint something....is it the make? Or something else? I'm a novice to, strapped for money, no idea but want to do something similar and we'll, so any info would be helpful. Thanks so much 😊

Great video, very impressive. Do you notice a big difference? Did you lose much room space ?

Where is that in Girvan?

Well done! Thanks for taking the trouble to document that work.

Would framing out the wall and using batt insulation be okay or could that cause moisture/ mild issues?

You mentioned the lime mortar is breathable for moisture, does the same apply to the screed you’d used directly onto the stone?

fantastic work, thanks for sharing, very helpful

There is no climate crises. Stop lying. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Good

Sounds like the pilot on my flight 😅

There is now the Wee Alba Book, by the Alba Party, given out at demos. p55 " The plans for how to manage Scottish citizenship were set out at the last ref and still apply. Anyone born in Scotland or born to Scottish parents or grandparents will have an automatic right to citizenship, as will people resident at the time of independence." Claiming this was the position in the last ref is of course spin lies. Salmond himself would not say this position to me as a caller on his last ref phone-in. The White Paper and Yes policy last time, which the SNP has still never budged from, was a racist shocker appealing to the same type of nasty anti-outsider voters as Brexit. It made citizenship by descent refusable, it made citizenships by birth or residence conditional on preexisting British citizenship. But that history only matters to defending it was right to vote No because of it. Even if Salmond was not saying the right position then, his party is now. This new book corrects the citizenship policy + states the perfect line on it. But it states it just for the Alba Party . Does the Yes movement as a whole agree with it? Does Yes FOr EU agree with it? Do the other indy parties agree with it?

Well done - the final result looks great. What approximately were your material costs?

Amazing Jonathan well done 🙂😻

Ost name,please

how many pump where used at this time in the channel?

which episode is this?

I really like how they explore this ideea of a true leader. The last episodes are summing it up really good and has inspired me greatly.

Magnificent! That's why you should use KDE: As bad as we sing, as good code ;).
