100 Year Old School Reno in Sweden l FIRST YEAR

In this video I am showing everything I did the first year after moving in with lots of footage I haven't shown before in my vlogs.
I had a steep learning curve when it came to both the renovation and videography and in my next video, showing year two, I hope you will notice the quality getting better.
You will notice my renovation philosophy more in the following video when I keep working on the guest room apartment;
Re-use of materials
Eco-friendly and natural materials
Used furniture and decor
Using craftmanship and building preservation techniques
Build and renovate for generations to come. not to finish as quickly as possible
Preserving and bringing back the history of the house

The cats coming out of the carrier like they were choreographed to step out in unison - so cute!

I’m a woman early 60’s now. My husband and I always did house building projects together and I often worked without him especially If we were demolishing. You, fantastic woman are a higher level! Power to you! Always exhausted at the end of the day but the morning with mug in hand you quietly look over the previous days work. Then get going again. What an inspiration you are.

[@old_school_moaboa]

That's right 😁 except looking back, I always look in front of me. Except when I make content, then I am confronted with everything I've done and finally getting the benefits of reflecting and trying to think of what I have learned and feeling proud! Who knew there could be an upside of social media? 😉 thank you for your nice comment

[@0ldvids]

@@old_school_moaboaPlease be very proud of yourself.

I love this girl too. I'm also early 60's(chronologically) but just love watching this. Makes me want to start again.

Shame about the trees 😭

[@ennasus5964]

Woah, I never would have had the energy to keep going with such a big project even when I was young. I admire your craftsmanship and your will to try everything immensly. I hope you will be able to have some moments each day to enjoy where you are living! Take care! 👌🙋‍♀️

The brickwork is so beautiful! And the synchronized kittens were to too cute!

wow, when you climbed along the roof and cut that first vine down, I was so goosebump impressed. 👋👍

I wanted to reach thru my TV screen and help you pull off those stubborn vines! Love your will power and stamina attacking such a project. You are a woman with such a can do attitude, I so admire you. I have renovated homes too, and even framed homes on cape cod off Mass, so I appreciate what it takes. I just retired and got divorced recently and am heading out to do some traveling. Can I stop by and donate my help for a month or so?! Handyman is my middle name! Anyways, thanks for the great videos! Thoroughly enjoyed them.

I adore adore this place I love it congratulations on this beautiful beautiful beautiful beautiful house

[@kayaker9912]

Wow, this is amazing!!! (especially the kitties--sorry kitty mom here). I am 64 and a DIY person, I have done almost everything you did except fixing roof tiles (we have ugly asphalt shingles in US), the plastering of the edges of walls (no plaster repairs here) and the breaking down a brick wall and re-building. You are amazing, I am so proud of you, to see a female do all this in our man's world is wonderful. I am currently working on a brick patio/entry, just finished a ceiling and possibly building another dry stack stone wall in the spring, but today the day before the first of December I am going to try to cut down a tree far larger than I can handle, but the wait list is too long for me to wait, so here goes. I also hate going to a big builders store to find the men telling me what to buy when I know what I am doing, my husband is a retired builder, so I have soaked in all that he did and it feels good not to have to pay a man to do what I can do myself and the satisfaction of seeing their faces when they ask what "company" did the work. I love your kitties, I have a small group of them. Keep it up, thank you for sharing, this property looks amazing!!!!!!!!!

[@ИринаХамисова]

Вы просто чудо! Счасья вам!!❤

[@laceyjane4285]

Woman, you can do anything ! My sisters made bookshelves for my mom and we have all sanded, painted, and put up wallpaper. My sister has hung new storm doors and sheetrock but what you are doing is on another level ! ❤

[@lizfitzgerald4377]

Very satisfying, watching the ivy peel off the wall. Scary though. Well done!

[@mariavigardt9164]

Inte ofta jag blir mållös men klickade av en händelse in på detta klipp och wow. Du är precis sådär cool, händig och totalt orädd som jag alltid velat vara! Outstanding för att uttrycka mig milt.

[@old_school_moaboa]

Men vilken tur du trillade över min kanal! Det kan du också vara! Men jag har inte gått från ingenting till 12 rum (bara nästan). Men jag köpte en koloni och renoverade själv först, det gav mig en massa lärdomar och erfarenhet. Jag gjorde om allt där förutom att lägga om taket. Men jag byggde upp golvet på nytt osv. Lite mindre avskräckande när det är en så liten skala och en mer "tillfällig byggnad"

[@mariavigardt9164]

@@old_school_moaboa helt otroligt vad du har hunnit med ändå! Fick verkligen hjärtat i halsgropen när du var på taket - var aldrig höjdrädd som yngre men blev helt plötsligt… Du visar ju tydligt att det är att ”bara göra” man lär sig på!

[@caveatlector1591]

I've seen lots of renovation video before but this type of filming is the most engaging I think. Congrats on your finished projects and I'm looking forward to your next upload.

[@old_school_moaboa]

Thank you, that's saying a lot and made me very happy you think so 😊

[@citygirlingraham]

I stumbled on your video. I saw you put in a new dishwasher and I thought “another woman that can do everything “, I thought should I subscribe? Yes, it’s European splendor. I’m hooked. Being almost 60 I can’t do what I use to do. But I can dream…

[@old_school_moaboa]

Well it's never too late 😀 I have taken classes/courses with people in their 60s. Maybe not to build and stuff but smaller woodworking stuff or upholstery is not a problem if your hands can still do the job. I am rooting for you!

[@tonnierooker5374]

It’s a very nice house I like it. It’s a lot of work but after all that you can be really proud of yourself 👍👍👏👏🇳🇱

You are one gutsy lady. It was amazing seeing the ivy fall in great pieces. Not so good seeing you on the apex of the roof, omg you gave me pulputations just watching lol.😮. I love the pattern on the walls. Wishing you well and all good luck in your journey 🇬🇧

What's so fun with this school is that even if it's so old it was used up until the 70s as a school. So there are a lot of people in the village that used to go to the school as children. I would love to collect their memories somehow

A gutsy and extremely competent Jackie of all trades. Watching you on the roof beam gave me the heebie=jeebies. I've always shied away from heights. That looks steeper than a 12/12 pitch. And you maneuvering the lift crane? Well done, indeed! I've been working with tools since I hung outside with my dad as a young girl in the 50's and still going strong. Not many of us octogenarian 'Jackies' out there from what I'm observing. Eighty-three and counting.
