Discovery and RESTORATION of Victorian Fireplace!

[@elliotcoll]

Sorry about the crap audio. Not sure what settings I had on my mic but clearly wasn’t right! Hope you can enjoy anyway :)

[@effevideogamescollector]

No problem,I have not noticed that until I’ve read your comment.

[@jamiecruickshank9697]

It sounded fine, it actually gave it a slightly different feel, I thought it was a deliberate choice!

[@themysteryfighter]

Mate I loved it. It's an awesome video. The fireplaces look amazing too!

[@jonathanmartin3375]

Sounded good to me

[@ARTbarStilllence]

Elliot! Remember to engrave Your initials and date with knife on some of main studs before putting on the plaster boards. Mark it for next centuries!

[@burnzy3210]

Glad to see you getting stuck in with some of the world, nothing is more satisfying than getting building/repairing/restoring stuff yourself.

[@azoscar1]

OMG two videos the same day, is this heaven?

[@elliotcoll]

Haha really wanted to make this video

[@vortexlisa]

Yes.. you died. I'm sorry.

[@ClockWithoutNumbers]

@@vortexlisa so I guess that makes him like Tiger Woods and Tony Hawk and a lot of other celebrities than.

[@frostech3149]

Yes, and Elliot is the Gameboy Angel.

[@rockaholictom]

When’s part 2 where you add some sick LED’s and an IPS screen mod?

[@gazzaco1]

I agree add a screen with working fire loaded on it lol.

[@marlejson9532]

It’s so nice seeing such old (antique!) pieces being restored and still being used in the same Building they have been in from the very beginning. I‘m sure it’s a lot of work and effort to renovate an old house but features like these that show the age are such nice accents and I‘m sure it will pay off once everything is finished.

[@airsol]

Put some lighting in them to mimic some sort of fire

[@nunocspinto]

All this projects are so overwelming... Watching a thing that's our being built, having some of our blood, sweat and tears, is so gratifying! I'm about to start a (much smaller) project like yours, recovering a house for me and my girlfriend to call our home. Inspired by you, I'll go so much more motivated! Thanks!

[@keyholes]

Looking good! For the one which didn't survive, maybe try looking for a similar one at a local reclamation yard? Or maybe putting a wood burner in its place? Would look really good and be super cosy in the winter!

[@pdaguytom]

Glad you were able to preserve these. This one definitely came out nice!

[@muddle3017]

This house is going to look amazing

[@Punmaster9001]

Looks amazing, I can't wait to see more

[@Awesomez225]

Really loving all the house videos. Great job!

[@PwnySparklez]

Im so glad you salvaged them!! They are really SO cool looking!! Congrats on another step taken to making your house a home

[@apollolux]

That is quality restoration practice right there!

[@benamisai-kham5892]

This is exactly my sort of content I'm so happy you do this stuff on your channel

[@karlkastor]

That anti-rust paint looks a lot like what I see on submarines, planes, trains and tanks in museums. They probably use a similar paint to preserve these old vehicles. (Maybe some even used to be coated this way?)

[@Niborino9409]

Makes sense that the previous owner boarded everything up. Who would be able to live in there without all the fixing you are doing!

[@codesigma]

Really cool to see you add your stellar production to one of your home videos

[@TryingToBuildStuff]

Wow, that's some solid work! Looking good!

[@domramsey]

Nice work. Elliot. Your love of retro is really going to pay off with this place.

[@perulez]

I love this kind of content. It's funny to see how differently in the different countries the building styles are. Here most houses have all walls made out of stone. Also inner walls.

[@Charky_Creations]

A lot of houses like these started out as just an upstairs room and a downstairs room. The inner walls are added later, so it's cheaper and easier to just use wood and plaster! My house is the same. It still has the original trim around the ceiling... Which has since been cut in half when they divided the upstairs to make an indoor bathroom 😅

[@perulez]

@@Charky_Creations it's not that we use here brick walls but autoclaved aerated concrete (aac) blocks for inner walls . They are light weighted and cheap here. Benefit of this type of blocks is that you can hang more weight on the wall(you don't have to measure to get it into the wooden beam) and they have heat and acoustic isolation properties. But again, it's just that it is interesting that they do it on a complete different way, but having the same result.

[@TheSkaldenmettrunk]

This looks amazing!

[@nuthinnew]

The house is coming along nicely :)

[@magi404]

This was so satisfying to watch!

[@KevinAllOver]

We got a regular Bob Vila over here. Time to start a home renovation channel complete with New England accented carpenters.

[@ange7v]

Great job!

[@SYIBOI]

Dudeee your house is gonna be so cool!! Can't wait for you to announce the finished product man!

[@omnisciency]

Great idea, there's something homely and rustic about having a fire place and as a feature functional or not. Sure you can use it as a candle holder if anything else

[@kaidu1482]

beautiful

[@cayder7485]

amazing restoration elliot love to see you make a dream come true keep up the amazing work on the house and the channel!

[@DMJensen9]

You did an awesome job! Loving the content!!

[@blaskkaffe]

I love how this channel turned from gameboy reviews to gameboy and fireplace restoration! Really like your videos and wish you luck with the renovations

[@mazarmark5]

Fantastic job on that! Finish looks very professional. Enjoying your house renovation vids!

[@elliotcoll]

I’m glad! Thanks.

[@mazarmark5]

@@elliotcoll your welcome Elliot! I knew you'd smash it with how good you restore game boys etc.

[@NeonGreenKing]

Best. Series. Ever. 👏👏👏

[@christophermorin9036]

I'm surprised you didn't take out that ceramic back plate before painting.

[@LucaBlightOfHighland]

Oh... This is sooo much satisfying to watch, ASMR level of satisfying.

[@jayceethechamp]

thank you again for the video i love it!

[@RC32Smiths01]

Fascinating to learn man

[@danielwilson7885]

Looks great Elliot! 😊👍 🔥

[@flokibyarian6832]

Nice 👍

[@caseface8022]

Awesome

[@ZapProd]

this has become a whole home reno show! u should make this a small documentary for ur fans

[@JonathanDrahoss]

Really nice job on the spray painting! Seen many people doing it wrong and just spray until it's opaque, but thats just wrong. How you did it, light coat, drying, another coat, probably drying and another coat again, that gets u the best results! Thank you for doing a great job and not making me cringe like many other people already have! :)

[@Jellonaa]

Once again Elliot, I really like these

[@magnops6564]

This is so satisfying

[@jasonhaygarth3889]

awesome

[@jgabe73]

very cool

[@adrianmalkovich7101]

Hot dang, those exposed walls where people manually fitted matching stones look fricken amazing. Your house is going to be banger.

[@robertleete2988]

Nice job

[@RemiDupont]

Woa nice job 👍! For a “now decorative” fireplace, it’s looking way better than a rusty metal plate.

[@NoahBuie]

Great video!

[@Evercade_Effect]

Nice work! Looks dope!

[@SWPLGAMING]

Thats what in talking about👌🏾 you need to do make a Home improvements channel where people call you to restore parts of their home, that would be cool. Thanks for the share👍🏾

[@CarsRestored]

Me: No way he can restore this Elliot Coll: Hold my tools

[@ChaosSonic15]

Dude I love these vids. Awesome to see your commitment to really making the place your own. 😁

[@bluefirexde]

Still loving these videos :)

[@OmgHiItsDavid]

Satisfying video :)

[@Kaladin_Stormblessed]

That looks great! Loving how the house is coming together! Hopefully you can move in soon enough so you don't have to keep paying on the current place.

[@dodgydruid]

Did your builders advise your about your flaps? Most chimneys have in them a flap for use in the summer to stop birds and rodents ingressing, I remember my grandfather the first lighting up of the year he would open the flap and all manner of departed small creatures would flop into the fireplace. A shame about the original range, a shame the front couldn't be salvaged and used as a feature piece but if its gone its gone and unless you have your own foundry to hand... its off to the big range heaven it goes. You don't even need to have the upstairs fireplaces working with real fire but you can buy very good and efficient faux fires that put out a lot of heat and look like the real thing but are electric. I notice you haven't got a central heating system so winter heat will be an issue although in my growing up years all we had was a front room gas fire and my father saying if we were cold put a jumper on which we did.

[@paulus_germanus]

Respect man, great job :)

[@MrOatcookie]

You got hussle, man. Keep at it!

[@indask8]

Looks good, consoles, houses, fireplaces you'll soon be able to restore anything.

[@kylecoddington5287]

Thats a funny looking gameboy.. xD keep up the work my dude, big fan.

[@Ricar2002YT]

You did an awesome job dude!

[@ESquadProductions]

Are you going to use them as a fireplace still or simply decoratively?

[@SpikeCooks]

these videos are so fun and im genuinely excited to see how it ends up :)

[@DasGrinch]

Most high heat paints need actual heat to finish the curing process. If the paint isn't fully cured, it can flake off or just simply rub off. Check your cans to see if it has such a requirement.

[@sandingh]

Hi thanks for sharing! Which primer did you use before the paint?

[@Nnif_Boots47]

Cool

[@kevinlavoie8248]

I think elliot needs to start a third house restoration channel. Wait a minute lol

[@themysteryfighter]

Literally 14 seconds ago!!!! Hi again Elliot lol. Thanks for another vid!!! Awesome content!!!

[@sandingh]

Hi! This is really helpful! Thanks for posting. Do you need to apply primer before the paint?

[@robertbarr1390]

Nice bike saddle

[@bamboebahr2470]

Not the restoration video I'm used to seeing here but a cool change of pace 😂

[@JessicaFEREM]

Good luck on the house, game boy man

[@Evexin]

pretty early still, glad to see 2 videos in 1 day haha

[@sheep21]

it looks lovely, and it is great that your retaining them. I would not have painted it at all mind. the paint at the rear and the undercoat are not heat resistant. Also many stove paints are not meant to be subjected to open flame. It would have been better to use Black lead (grate polish). it would have achieved the look you desired on the cast iron whilst also making it much easier to convert to a working fire place in the future should you, or a future homeowner, decide to do so. Either way, good on you for keeping them in place :)

[@tm_tlr]

Would love to do this!

[@drewbu]

ultimate 2021 fireplace restoration and mod

[@נרי-נ6ק]

Good

[@waheedaadam5882]

Hi fabulous job, could ask name and brand of paints you used please?

[@c0mpu73rguy]

A shame it won’t be useable because that is some good work you did on that fireplace.

[@thesavage4552]

More Reno videos?!? My wish came true!!

[@tenchuu007]

Uh... If the undercoats aren't high heat, they'll melt or burn off as the metal heats up. The top coat doesn't act as a barrier.

[@noahreese2455]

I am glad you are restoring history and not throwing it away or leaving it to rust. God bless man✝️

[@RickCorp]

How do these small fire places work?

[@stuff31]

Satisfaction 100

[@Jukebox_Gaming]

You should do a video on how much ad revenue you will have made from the house Reno series. Food for thought. It’s like our watch time is helping to pay for the repairs

[@dibblah68]

Not possible to get them in working order?

Bet you love Odd Tinkering, then. I know I do (perhaps not to fetish levels though, lol)

@@Decipher13 the fetish part was a joke😂

Hey Elliot, do you still have the scimitar?

[@santademonunknown4444]

Hey Elliot! I got gameboy advance sp that I’m getting the headphone jack mode. And in your video ween you did the same mode you use kapon tape. And I have a question on that. Can I use normal office tape instead or is that a risk for the handheld?

[@miloplacas]

thats a great restoration, yo can put a electric heater or a gas one with those fake woods that heat forever. You will have a great house!
