From Nightmare To Dream House - Off grid Sweden Part 4

[@hellekofoed639]

when buying a house in Sweden the seller is responsible for the cost for hidden faults and defects for 10 years that is not visible for the buyer to see when inspecting the house before buying. I own a house here in Sweden myself, so I was shocked to see all the hidden damage to the inner walls. You could not have known this fact before renovating. I do hope you will be happy in your new home and it already looks great. I wish you all the best.

[@noorderling]

Thank you for your kind words. Doing the repair work is also an opportunity to make the house really our own. It made me love the house even more.

[@recoverywithme]

As a nature lover and spiritual person, this really warmed my soul. A very wholesome and comforting video. Just wonderful!

[@noorderling]

That is really great to hear ! Thank you so much.

[@MegaCricket7]

You are a miracle-worker like my husband. We rebuilt an old house in Northern Michigan in 2000-2003. He had to rebuild just about every room, but he loved it. You are the same kind of guy. You’ll be fine!

[@noorderling]

@@MegaCricket7 thanks so much for your nice comment 👍

You are a born narrator and you soothe my soul. These videos are so restful to watch. Thank you. Northern Ontario, Canada following.

What a very nice thing to hear. Thank you so much.

fantastiskt hantverk! blir så varm i själen av att du lagade med återbrukat material. mycket bra!

[@noorderling]

tack så mycket. Jag är glad att du gillar videon

[@eje59]

Roligt att du hittade en bra bygg metod dvs bygga som det var byggt tidigare. Trevigt och positiv film lycka till med huset.😊

[@noorderling]

Tack så mycket

I could watch this for hours. It's a kind of meditation. I think we people who long for the north share a certain gene that is independent of a particular nationality.

[@noorderling]

I think you're absolutely right

[@Jivemaster2005]

The dutch have are wood builders in their soul! We hired dutch ship builders here in Sweden in the 1700th century to build great warships. I wish your house journey a good end!

[@noorderling]

Thanks so much.

[@KenthGustafsson300]

that wooden pike that holds the timber in place is in swedish called "Dymling" and there is big handcrafted drills to get it to place...maybe you find someone sometime.

[@noorderling]

Hi thanks for the info, I really appreciate it. I found a hand drill, but a bit too small in diameter. Still keeping an eye open for the right one. Good to know what the pegs are called!

[@ellentaylor4351]

When investing so much effort, energy and time to rebuild very old buildings you must be open to spending majority of the first years in reconstruction.once the bones are stable the rest becomes easy.🇬🇧🏠🏡

[@noorderling]

You are absolutely right.

[@comix5281]

Beautiful job! I love those old beams.

[@noorderling]

Yeah me too. They are great to work with and add a lot of character.

Petje af- dat werk ziet er heel degelijk uit! Die rotte hoek lijkt wel een soort blessing in disguise- als het allemaal klaar is wordt het dus nog veel beter en mooier dan ooit tevoren. Héél veel success ermee verder!

[@noorderling]

Dank je, ja het is precies zo als je zegt. Had het niet gemoeten, dan had ik het niet gedaan. Maar nu kan ik het wel precies zo maken als dat ik wil. En uiteindelijk is dat natuurlijk gewoon heel erg fijn.

[@sabineundmichael4033]

Was für eine Arbeit 😳. Respekt für's Durchhalten nachdem der Schaden sichtbar wurde, für alles was du da handwerklich gerade leistest und für die tollen Videos. Wir verfolgen deine Reise mit dem Haus gespannt und fiebern mit! Aller liebste Grüße von uns beiden und bis hoffentlich bald mal wieder!

[@noorderling]

Hey du! Ohne Projekte ist es nur langweilig. Ich muss bald mal vorbei kommen. Liebe Grüße an euch

[@MartinAhlman]

Great work, I look forward to seeing more!

[@noorderling]

Thank you. A new video is on it's way

When you say that the work gives you peace of mind and that it's like meditation, I know exactly what you mean. When you have full focus and all other troubles, just fade out of your mind. "This is my church, this is where I heal my hurts" as Maxi Jazz put it.

Hi, I watched your new video yesterday ( Wednesday). After your previous video, I thought that you might give up, but this one has made me happy, you know I have the same dream to buy a summer house in Sweden, I can see that you have quite a few skills including woodworking, well I leave you for today and as I don't your name I'll call you Noor. regards Karen ( a Chilean in Utrecht).

[@StoneMcKnuckle]

Great idea reusing the old beams. Not only because it matches the house, but the wood itself is also much more robust than anything else you'd be able to find. You could pump water from the lake or re-purpose the old well. Would require some filtration and a bit of digging but wouldn't be too terribly expensive. Looking forward to seeing how you tackle all the issues that come with the house. Welcome to the country!

[@noorderling]

Thanks ! The old beams are great. A lot denser and more heavy then " new" wood and that's probably why the last so long without any problems.

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

@@noorderlingYes I learned in my building physics course here in Sweden that quality has really gone down in wood compared to the old days. It’s about mass market and economics of scale now. Grow fast and sell fast. Made to last decades not centuries.

[@fishywishyfishfisk]

It is a very "authentic" way to do it too! A lot of these century old log cabins were built using "recycled" wood from previous structures.

[@toxicteabaging]

Amazing work on the house so far, the respect you have for the original methods are inspiring.

[@CellarPhantom]

Incredible work and determination. Be proud!

[@noorderling]

Thanks so much, appreciated it.

[@vk8202]

Wow, great work sir. You can tell that that's going to be one solid house when you're done. A beam from 1916 😮 In Ireland a beam would rot within a few years with our damp climate. I spent some time in Styrsö and I guess your winters are cold but mostly dry. Looking forward to your next video.

[@noorderling]

I was pleasantly surprised to find these beams in such fantastic condition.

[@gunlindblad5202]

The winters in Sweden (depending of where you are) is very cold and dry

[@cookiemonster3522]

Those old barns in the wood are a gold mine. That wood is strong and durable. Good on you for using it.

Those old beams are fantastic

U bent goed bezig met de aanpak van deze omvangrijke klus! Elke keer paar stappen maken dat hou je het langst vol! Leuke video's om te zien, ga zo door;-))

[@noorderling]

Dank je 😊

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

I wonder how you will manage winter. Without electricity you’ll be burning wood pretty much 24/7 to keep the heat unless you have very good insulation. Myself and my parents use ”luftvärmepump” which is like a reverse AC because they are fairly cheap and very efficient typically giving you about 4-5kw of heat for 1kw of power but you need electricity for that to work and the further up north you are the colder the winters which lowers efficiency. Already here in the middle south during the coldest days mine had to work mostly had defrosting the outside unit rather than heating.

[@noorderling]

The house is not winter ready. So we will not be there all winter

[@marleenvanderwurff4402]

Jij moet wel een timmerman zijn,zo proffesioneel,heel mooi😊

[@noorderling]

Dank je voor het compliment 😊

[@DriftWorn]

Love your videos! Thank you for posting!! My mind wonders while watching - Would something like the following be useful: if one were to run a covered (protected from snow and weather) channel from just under the roof eve on one side of the house down, ending just under the house while creating the exact same thing on the opposite side of the home could it allow enough ventilation through the harsher months to keep the subfloor etc from doing this in the future? A solar fan could be placed in each channel with one pulling and the other pushing for a bit more air. Just thoughts that run through my mind.

[@noorderling]

What an interesting idea. I've learnt very recent that in some houses that is exactly what they do, using a mechanical ventilation system. But the temperature difference alone between sub floor and roof should be enough to create an airflow 🤔 It doesn't need much , little air flow would suffice

[@olsa76]

Speaking of the year on the log....It always feels like a fun idea to leave messages for the future when doing major renovations, so feel free to write your name and year in some wall, for example, for future owners to find in 100 years...or leave a note with more detailed information. Where are you guys from?

[@noorderling]

It is a great idea to leave a message somewhere in the house for future owners. And I might just carve my initials somewhere too 😊 We're from the Netherlands

[@moniqueh6274]

Mooi! 😊

[@Eowynna]

Hello bonjour from France , Beau travail . Merci pour cette vidéo . J’ai une question , est-ce que vous traitez le bois vermoulu ? Et le bois aussi qui est mis en remplacement ?

[@noorderling]

Bonjour, Le bois touché a été endommagé par un coléoptère qui ne mange que la couche entre l'écorce et le tronc. Le bois lui-même n'est pas touché. Nous n'avons heureusement pas de xylophages.

[@Eowynna]

@@noorderling merci pour votre réponse 👍🏻

[@barbaraeder5986]

Habt ihr die Farbe in den Innenräumen auf Blei getestet? Die Frage ist mir durch den Kopf gehuscht, als ich dich Farbe von den alten Balken schleifen sah. Anfangs bis Mitte 20. Jahrhundert wurde ja oft Bleiweiss verwendet. Von 3M gibt es Testkits. Mag deine Videos sehr sie sind wie Meditationen.

[@noorderling]

Hi danke für deine Nachricht. Ich habe gar nicht darüber nachgedacht ob Blei in der Farbe verwendet ist. Das ist ein recht guter Tipp, danke dafür.

[@Pusse1978]

Dont think i've ever seen a field hay barn painted with anything other than Falu Röd in Sweden..This barn was probably not painted at all.

[@noorderling]

@@Pusse1978You are right, It is not painted. I got lucky there as it makes it a lot easier to use them indoors

[@sofia-p7d4t]

How much did the house cost?

[@jmkhenka]

Please use respirators and eye protection. wood is not that bad, but there is fungi and more importaintly, rat/mice piss and extrement. You can die from exposure. Sorkfeber (nephropathia epidemica) is not to be ignored. Same with wood piles and everywhere rat poo is should be handled carefully.
