Huge thank you to the person who loaned them the stove!! How wonderful. I kept waiting for smoke out of a chimney on the outdoor shots, but apparently it was later than that when installed. So glad you have a nice warm fireplace. Loved seeing the cat in the tree and the outside shots of the land and how amazing it looks after so much hard work. Everything is just looking better and better. All that work is paying off!

The land is looking great isn't it. We are so pleased with the "farmyard" area. We still have a lot to do but no rush with any of it really, we are just enjoying our experience. The person who has loaned us the stove is a great person for so many reason. It is the same person that gave us the Victoria Plum tree and the flue liner for the living room. Yes, no smoke out of the chimney... the day went a bit like this... Me - In the kitchen Dawn - In the garden Ben - In the kitchen and Sean up the ladder. It was only this morning (Wednesday) that the stove was lit for the first time. This evening is a real fire in it. Logs, coal and boy is it hot in the kitchen. Steve is a little hardcore cat. He isn't bothered too much by the rain and was quite happy outside with Dawn. Alan on the other hand is a bit of a lightweight haha. Thank you so much Bobbie for always being with us :-)

Yet again we have some amazing neighbours who are happy to help. You should have just asked Brenda, even in the middle of the night, we would have helped you out so you could have slept. Basically, look at the front of the house The windows on the left of the front door are the Living room (sitting room / parlour) This is the room which had the Christmas decorations and where we just revealed the arched fireplace which Sean pulled the first flue liner up. The window above that is Luka's bedroom. It has three windows. It was the second floor to be done. To the right of the front door is the kitchen. This is where the new stove has just been fitted. Above the kitchen is our bedroom. The one with the wonky fireplace and blue painted walls. Behind the front door is the stairs leading up to the landing and behind the stairs on the ground floor is the bathroom / toilet. We have always meant to do a tour of the rooms but never managed to do it yet. We will. You are most welcome and thank you for watching and commenting :-)

Thank you for the verbal tour. For a long time I thought the out buildings and land was to the left side of your house and therefore the chimneys did not line up right. It took me a while to figure that out and when I saw the inside kitchen door led to the entrance way I began to make sense if the downstairs layout. I think y’all purchased a great farm home. I look forward to the patio area being finished and the roofs being put on the out buildings. I know those things take time. Dawn reminds me of a younger me.

No. I mean the outside of the flue liner that was put into your chimney u can get it wrapped with special thermal insulation. Our chimney is so wide Santa claus could fit down it, cause of rain going down chimney the sides of the chimney wall were all wet black sticky soot. We were told flue pipe had to be wrapped so it wouldn't go on fire. Ye might not need to get that done but it wouldn't harm anyone to look into it. Besides that I loves ye're house and what ye're doing to it
@thecornerhouseproject2 ай бұрын
Hi Trish, sorry for the late reply. We can fill the chimney around the flue liner with vermiculite if the draw from the flue pipe is low as it will insulate the pipe from the cooler air around it and increase the draw up the pipe. We were advised to wait and see what results we had without it as it can cause condensation on the walls inside the chimney. So after lots of use with the fire being on, we have found we don't need to insulate around the pipe as the draw is great up the pipe. The chimney wall on the landing in the house is still slightly warm to the touch too so we know heat is radiating and keeping damp and condensation at bay. The actual chimney at the top is just a simple chimney pot and now the rain cowl is in place, not rain can get down it. We do feel that originally it may have been a large opening like you describe for yours. I hope all that makes sense :-) Thank you for watching, commenting and of course being one of our much valued channel members :-)

We had a wood burning stove in our kitchen many years ago. It was so nice to go into make dinner in my stocking feet and feel the warm floor. My husband would load up the stove at night and the house would be so nice and warm till morning. We would collect wood pallets and burn the wood from them. The pallets were hard oak so they burned a long time and that is what we always looked for, hardwood. Here in my State of New York, we have started to clean up from winter. Yesterday we raked up my side yard bed of flowers. It was 70*, today we are having rain and a damp day which puts my mind back to winter. Please "God", bring on the warmer spring days. There is lots of raking to be done!
@thecornerhouseproject8 ай бұрын
I do like the warm floor by the range / stove, it makes me think I would love underfloor heating. The range used to last all night but I am not sure this stove will without putting loads of logs in on a slow burn. Hardwood pallets sound great, especially if you can get them for free. Certainly worth the time to break them up and cut them. We have had some up and down temperatures lately, it felt really cold last week but not so bad this week. Rain yesterday morning, overnight and some today, and a little chilly. Hopefully the warmer days will be here soon. Fingers crossed for us both.

We were lucky with just how quickly. The flue liner was here two days after ordering it and a simple photo of it to Sean with a couple of thumbs up he was here two days later. He already collected the back piece of the stove so he could get the black pipe and 6" flue connecting piece (I didn't want to buy the wrong thing) The loan of the stove is incredible and also makes me realise they are a little bit heavy, certainly this size. The car managed as it was just up the road, surprised the pair of us didn't end up in hospital after moving it up hill from his barn to the car. Not sure how far it was, but too far haha. If the coalman is around we will never say no lol. That 2 hours could have been summer if we go by the rainfall we had last summer. It did fill the tanks up again though which is always a win for us.

That's a beautiful old stove. Those things were built to last a thousand years. The back yard is looking very well also. I would be inclined to raise the level of the land in that dip between the yard and the land at the back. You could decide where the yard ends and the land begins. Fill the yard part to the top of the manhole cover (it's a trip hazard otherwise) with gravel or some kind of hardcore and then put some of the soil you accumulated with all that digging on the land part.
@thecornerhouseproject8 ай бұрын
It really is a lovely looking stove, I think after seeing it and how well it performs we will be looking on Facebook marketplace for one very similar for the living room. We’re really pleased with how it’s looking and going outside. Obviously still lots to do but it’ll get there. We’re quite liking the dip between the both and I’m not sure if it comes over on camera very well but it is quite a dip, so it would take quite a lot of levelling out. We will have to see if we can do some land shots and drone shots to make it easier to see. Also this is where Ben wants a bridge to be! lol. He has dug a channel for drainage so the yard area can drain off and the dip from the grassy area drains into it too. So far it’s working quite well…long way to go with sorting the drainage properly though. 🫣😊
@horza45308 ай бұрын
@@thecornerhouseproject You could build a small retaining wall on the yard side to hold whatever you put there, gravel or whatever. Then have a ditch between the retaining wall and a bank on the other side going up to the land with a bridge between the two. I love the idea of a small foot bridge. That could look really cute. :) I think with a massive rock there just below the surface, you either need a good bit of soil over it for drainage or some kind of hardcore. If there's only a couple of inches of soil over the rock, the water has nowhere to go and the soil will turn to mud in seconds and I'm sure you've seen enough mud at this stage to last you a lifetime. :)
@thecornerhouseproject8 ай бұрын
Oh yes we’ve seen enough mud! Hahaha. Hardcore was our thought for the ditch that Ben had dug down to the bedrock. It’s probably about 6 - 9 inches deep until it hits bedrock there, other parts of the land it’s not too far below. We have a lot of figuring out and work on our plates I think to get it all drained as best we can. We do have some thoughts that are quite similar to what you’re proposing with the retaining wall, it’s just figuring it all out and how it will work with all the other variables and drainage. 🤔🫣

The centre of the wall is filled with a ‘hearting’ of small stones. Where available ‘through stones’ will be placed at half way up the wall to add to stability and lifespan. Walls can be finished with an upright (soldier or cow and calf), slanted or flat row of cap stones or copes. Thank you again :-)

About the patio area… with so much water, might it be a good idea to take up the old stones little by little and lay sand or tiny gravel under them and then fill in the empty bits with other stones from the yard? Since it could be costly you could start with the bit connecting the building to the path, and then little by little work out from the door, maybe in squares of progress. Disclaimer: I know nothing about it but that muddy messes are generally unpleasant and sand and gravel drain water more easily than mud! 😅

@thecornerhouseproject8 ай бұрын
Yes, the blocked up original cooking fireplace will all be opened up as we planned to. It will be a late spring / summer job when we don't need the heat. We didn't want to have to rush into it, things go wrong and we end up with a chimney collapse in the kitchen. It will get done though as it was one of the things added to the list right at the start of moving here. It will make the kitchen feel huge. This is also where the range will go. Recessed back into the chimney. Fingers crossed. There are only two walls remaining and not sure you could call them walls. The best we can do it to remove the massive fallen oak tree off it and try to stabilise it. But the tree may be doing it a favour too by adding downward weight to the stones. It will just be nice to stop it all from falling down. That one we think is super old as it doesn't exist on any maps, old or new. Thanks for watching and commenting tonight :-)
