How's it going fella, been a while since the last video!

What in the absolute heck is that. You call that framing?????

Door size was immaterial, think out side of the norm , the whole side could have had max impact & looked on a different level , if you had fitted a glass pocket slider …

Hey mate, this is great. How did you learn your skills? Do you have a trade?

💯% 🤣😂🤣

aspetos in artex be careful

Please don't tell me you are leaving those shitty door casings in as it's false economy. Fit new ones, or even better, if you have the width, make your own out of 6" x 1 1/2" with planted rebates.

I’d be interested to know the ground levels outside the house and what ventilation is coming in to the property as there is no such thing as “rising damp”.

I'd probably get an engineer to look at it. You've also got to think about what is under the stone wall... our brick terrace was built in 1917 and they the walls/bricks were laid directly onto the dirt. So when we opened up our back wall to put in a huge glass door slider, we also had to put in extra footings under different parts of the house to essentially "stabilise" it some of the critical sections.

You're cracking on with it, fair play! Look forward to seeing the final product 😀

It's dirty work, but someones gotta do it!!...It'll all be worth it in the end 💪💪

Good days work mate! 👍

This is the first time I have come across a 'structural surveyor' in 50+ years in the construction industry. Is he a surveyor or is he a structural engineer who carries out surveys? The structural bod is probably correct in that a lintol for the full span of the new opening will be required and that lintol will be carrying the floor loads and the stud partition load from the rooms above and must be suitably sized - 'any old concrete lintel' will not do. As to whether you should get approval for the work, then yes you should because ANY structural work to a building has to be approved under the Building Regs and the advice given by your structural bod is negligent. Most times such an incidental item rarely gets submitted and more than likely the BI will not want a submission. You would be wise to a) Get a formal proposal from your structural bod as to the spec of the enlarged opening and b) Contact a Building Control, describe the scheme and record their answer. Doing both will absolve you of most of the liability, doing neither means you accept all the liability if/when it fails.

How about opening it up to the width of a standard size set of doors, but leave it door-less. Leaves the option for the future owner to add them if wanted.

I agree with keeping the kitchen where it is/was. Don't over complicate things. 👌👍 Is the boiler staying in the kitchen or moving?

Correct, it is work work work....BUT...choosing the colours and "pretty bits" at the end is the reward for all that hard work!! 😉 🤣

awesome progress- loving your videos!

Where are you putting the new boiler?

Good idea too stay with that room, it can only get better. Also after you going to do for a full rewire? With current access, it weight be the best time. Aldi get sorted burglar alarm sorted and also white the house up with Ethernet. Again access is a problem normally but you have full access right now.

Those beautiful old, wide floor boards! 😍😍

I was thinkin more than £40 cause you used to get about a fiver a radiator, haven't scrapped a radiator in a while though, just copper and brass.

Why so violent to the goods? Don't you think any of it can be recycled or given to neighbors? Seems a bit rushed.

I think you're right, those shelves were original to the building.....You'd better put them back up!! 😉😂

Wow - you're like a man possessed when you're swinging that hammer around!! 🤣 I'm so glad those little herb pots escaped the hammer blows!

You need a lump hammer

Thanks for documenting the journey!

watch out for asbestos dude

They sure got their moneys worth out of that yellow paint! 😂 You got some nice bonuses too, with the white goods and pine furniture! 👌

25th sub here! I'm 1 week into a renovation too! Looking forward to seeing yours progress! 🛠

Subbed :) Looks like a great project! Looking at renovating my home so it's great to see the process!

And the wood off the fireplace might have looked nice if stripped back and sanded off. Chunks of wood are expensive these days!

Someone would probably have taken that 70’s light off your hands.. or if it wasn’t broken you could have left it on the wall outside saying ‘free’ ?! It’s amazing what people will take, one man’s trash etc.. I hate seeing things get chucked 😅

👁️👄👁️ I hope it's fake bc if thats an actual real painting from him oof thats just A MAJOR WOMP WOMP

Very intrigued to see how this pans out, always wanted to do this since i was young. I would be interested in finances at the end of it all too, how much it went for at auction inc fees etc and how much the reno roughly costs. keep up the work i have a feeling this channel will attract some good views.

Seriously,' You started the ripping out without isolating the electrics / water and a class 1 gas hob with a crow bar whilst still connected to the gas mains and trying to ignite its self ?. WOW ! . HSE will have a field day with this video, and you pal, LOL.

😂

Video could definitely benefit from some time lapses, cheers mate.

Good work matey, keep at it!

Another 3 pair of hands, and you would complete it quicker.

You're doing this all on your own??

Id try and swap the stairways as well if it was possible. Just a thought,making more room on the landing where you could probably open the bedrooms up a bit more,depending on the plan off the house.

I'd open the one room into the kitchen, making it one whole kitchen and dining room.

You're so lucky to be able to do this sort of thing. Who do you have helping you? It will be interesting how you renovate it and what you do with the garden.
