Ребят, кто пишет что нет ограждений и это опасно, этот чувак - парапланерист и фрирайдер мирового класса, он буквально с гор летает. Видимо его эта площадочка в два этажа не особо заботит)) Смотрю его канал уже пару лет, при этом мой уровень французского застрял где-то на способности представиться. Но даже с моими знаниями понятно, что он очень позитивный и юморной. Больше чем от его дома, мастерской и навыков строителя, я офигела только с его огорода возле этого дома. Теплички с помидорами :) Еще очень классно он в этот огород водопровод проводил откуда-то с горы. И интересно было как он из камней делает резервуар для воды в огороде. А на счет дома бессмысленно что-то говорить - "на вкус и цвет все фломастеры разные". Если человеку хочется выкинуть кучу бабла в такой проект - флаг в руки, смотреть на это было очень прикольно. Такой разносторонний тип по жизни явно не пропадет и если понадобится, ещё не на один дом заработает)) Всё жду когда уже доведёт все до идеала.

It's always nice to have a railing to grab as you fall over the edge!

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="213">3:33</a>, the wooden support beam is anchored to the window arch with just four bolts or screws, and this wooden beam and just four steel bolts will be supporting the weight of the entire upper level floor. I would be nervous about this. Hopefully those bolts are large diameter. (The window arch is rebar-reinforced concrete beam, this part is fine).

[@grazzer1673]

Amazing video - although I would recommend watching it at 3/4 speed in order to better grasp the expertise & creative details. I learnt many good things here ... and a few bad things. Good: - Retention of as much wood as possible, and keeping it light / natural, rather than staining it dark - Utilities: fantastic upgrade on electric & water - especially using copper pipes rather than the garbage called PEX - Re-utilization and restoration of existing wooden beams / joists - Rugged, robust creation of cement support beams (horizontal & diagonal) with integrated rebarb - Phenomenal cabinetry fine craftsmanship - Behind the wooden stove vertical exhaust duct, keeping the exposed rock wall at about 2 feet width - very classy indeed Bad: - Windows with metal frames 😯 ... while these might be cheaper and require less maintenance than wooden frames, they are hideous to look at - and you get what you pay for - In the kitchen, overkill on the black slate ... that vertical backsplash would look a thousands times better with a creative pattern of smaller & bigger tiles - even translucent with a backlight - Upstairs tv room very cool, except without a railing, you are begging for a tragic injury

[@bushnj8748]

Nice watch..very soothing music and love the outcome guys. Only thing that bummed me is them not putting a railing on that upstairs landing for Safety reasons. 👍🏾

No railing is super dangerous! Especially around the couch. Everytime you are going to sit on it it can move a little bit and eventually fall off

My first thought was that loft/lounge area is too dangerous, and I see a lot of others agree with me, secondly for me there is too much exposed wood, walls, ceilings, floors and furniture, makes me think of a holiday chalet. Also I would have liked to see the bathrooms! I am sure they did fantastic work, but it didn’t appeal to me, we are no longer living in the fifties!

That is hell of a job but, I really think this guy is a maniac. I mean, if he can sell this place for 400k dollars, then I can understand all the work and effort have been done. (unless he is going to live inside himself) Also that sofa near the edge of 2nd floor, is f.cking creepy and scary.
