Having fully renovated a 100 year old home myself I can completely related to this wonderful couple. I think Kevin was missing the point, that building could have easily sat until it completely crumbled or required demolition. This wonderful couple gave it a new lease on life and did everything they could to preserve what they could within their budget. I think in a building like this the exterior is critical and they achieved that. The interior is wonderful and again they approached it with care and added new elements that will age well into the next 100 years. To me this project was a complete success.

Fantastic to rewatch these older episodes. Thank You!

Love this episode and this wonderfully sensitive couple. Only now can I relate to the concept of a ‘romance’ with a building as I take on my own renovation endeavors single handedly while trying to maintain the integrity of the original builders magnificent work and its design. It is literally a labor of love! 🏔️ 🇯🇵

As an "icon" to the local community and surrounds this couple did a wonderful job of restoration. As regards, the interior - which is their "private space" - I believe they have delivered a tasteful and fine result. It is elegant and most definitely a home! From an industrial building to a home - "Bravo Zulu!" Much respect to Leigh and Richard! As an aside, I would have tried to salvage as much of the old timber as I could for a number of woodworking projects 🙂 Thank you Kevin for bringing these "stories", these pieces of architecture to us! regards from South Africa

That's perseverance. This project could have failed or have gone twice the budget very easily. Congratulations to their hard work.

Bless these people. They have done awesome work.

It never ceases to surprise me the short sightedness of so many of these people that undertake such large renovation projects.

Ironically if these people knew what they were getting into, they wouldn’t do it and old buildings like these would be left to ruin. Hence why property developers steer well clear. Bravo to the people who do it for love, not money.

I thought that this house would not have enough natural lighting but the from the final result, I couldn't have been more wrong. The house looks amazing and I am very hapy for them. Much love from Nairobi, Kenya.

He was too harsh with them, they could have demolished everything, yet they built on what they bought. Great job!!

Completely agree with Kevin, they ended up with a nice home but sacrificed the integrity of the building.

43:25 is the part I liked best. 🥰

@darylwilliams7883 Ай бұрын

Every one of these restorations of very old buildings I have seen follows the same general rule: Whatever you think your budget is going to be, add 50% to account for all the problems you didn't see when you had your rose-coloured glasses on. That said, I'd undertake a project like this as soon was I won the lotto. :)

Could they not have treated the old timber and then used it as a veneer on the new beams?

Would a survey have helped l wonder. ?

@gamelopedya7781 Ай бұрын

In my opinion, the old mill stones on the ground (25:41) were one of the parts that needed to be preserved as they were... They were sacrificed just because they wanted to gain height. 40:45 there is a crack on column 😮

@vincenarneodo8760 Ай бұрын

It’s normal that old wood has cracks…..if dry and aged , that doesn’t compromise the strength and stability of the piece of wood

@SuperMcgenius Ай бұрын

I’m 10 minutes into this video and thinking they should add another 100,000 to the rebuild. Hopefully I’m wrong.😅

@SuperMcgenius Ай бұрын

Wow, I didn’t realize how much work they would do themselves, I think they saved them selves $50,000 minimum, well done.

Kevin is not being fair here. I get that many of the people he deals with have million dollar budgets, but at the end of the day, the UK, and Europe, are littered with empty buildings which could be habitations, at a much lower environmental cost than building from scratch. Restoring an old building (I have a 200yo farmhouse on my hands here), can cost a freaking mint, trying to senstively replace or reuse very old timbers is just not possible, not everyone has a budget for 80yo matured oak replacement beams. If we want these buildings to stay standing in our landscapes, and to house people who, after all, are the priority, people being housed, not the buildings being perfect, we need to stop this perfectionism. Yes it is absolutely lovely to see a building fully restored to its former glory perfectly, but there are villages full of crumbling stone houses that are hundreds of years old around my way, precious few millionaires looking to renovate old farmhouses (they tend to go for much grander stock), and I applaud anyone who makes any effort whatsover to even partially sensitively restore any of these working, not-spectacular, peasant buildings and keep them standing.
