ONE YEAR PROGRESS Interior Designer Renovates Old Cabin (Story 31)

[@dasaen]

“A few issues” = The erradication of 25 generations of rats, bad water, no electricity, roots everywhere, bad foundations, wood rot, no insulation, no heating, no cooling, no sewer line, bad sceptic tank xD Also, don’t worry, I went thru the same, at some point all the work pays off and you just live there in your dream house. Props to you for going for it.

[@billiekennedy131]

Don’t ever say a woman can’t do this, you are showing it might not be easy, but then it’s not easy for a man. But you are doing great. 🙏🌹

[@annejohnson5580]

Oh ,Rosie What a wonder woman you are. When you see what you have accomplished during the past year and a half, you must be very satisfied with your achievments. I just love your videos and the glimpses you give into your amazing self-reliant life.

[@sovereigns1grace]

After a year ... you ARE a DIYer. You've accomplished so much. It may not appear as though you completed as much as you'd planned, but you accomplished so much learning which will catapult your productivity in the months to come. The kitchen is lovely. I really like the simple inexpensive wood put to such good use. Who says lovely has to be with the most expensive materials. I love what you're doing and hope my own projects have at least 50% of the esthetic result you've achieved in yours. Keep those videos coming ... I love them!!

[@madametrafficjam8347]

Sometimes when I watch these videos, I wonder what the old owner would think about the amazing changes you've made to their old property. I wonder if they watch your channel sometimes.

[@catherine1910]

I hope you realise how amazing you are! And you’ve inspired so many of us to try our own projects too. Well done Rosie and I can’t wait to see your progress over the next year.

[@countrygirl4422]

I hope she realizes how blessed she is too.

[@zinikornis_personal]

Funny you say that you're a bit disappointed that you hadn't get more done -- I was actually thinking while watching this recap, that wow, a year always feels very short to me, but you made an entire house and garden livable and nice and cute in a year! This proves to me that you can get sooo much done in a year if you have clear goals.

[@misstweetypie1]

I appreciate your honesty about how hard it’s been to build everything yourself while learning at the same time! I can tell sometimes you were just pushing through out of necessity, it’s very inspiring that you’ve kept doing the renovations instead of giving up and going back to England.

[@dixiegelinas3531]

It’s your house, your choice, you are living in it, so you get to decide what you want. You don’t need anyone telling you it’s wrong. You’re doing great.

[@johoch40]

Lovely kitchen! You have done so much! Be good to yourself...Blessings!

[@lisaeldred2299]

Amazing journey!! You are an inspiration for sure! My father renovated his dream at 65 and he always said that no one will ask you how long it took, they will be amazed at the end! He enjoyed the journey, problem solving, creating, making mistakes, learning! Rose, enjoy your journey, amazing project!

[@denisehayes195]

I lived in a similar but larger cabin in mid wales, the wood burner installer recommended we get rid of the chimney and install a double walled steel chimney, it worked beautifully and I liked the look. We chose a 7w wood burner which heated the whole cabin although it did get too hot sometimes. James pirigioni’s channel has instructions for making covers for raised beds you could use the materials that you used for the greenhouse. I think a lean to greenhouse would benefit both the greenhouse and the house itself and give you a more stable structure. I’ve loved watching you think thru your problems and not being afraid to give it a go❤️

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I dont know the status of her chimney, but the way these work in Sweden is both the woodburner/stove in the kitchen and the tiled woodburner in the living room each has a separate pipe running through the chimney up to the roof. Both woodburners she has, when in working condition are more than enough to heat the entire house very efficiently! The one in the kitchen is also a stove and cooker and there are copper water basins with a little tap that can be used with them and inexpensive second hand, so they are really valuable, same Swedish quality as AGA stoves. The tiles one is original to the house, likely 1800s, and has an ingenious internal five pipe system running up and down inside holding on to the hot air for a long time. Yes they are sensitive when you fire them up after being cold for a long time, you have to start very small and gradually so the mortar doesnt crack from shock, but once all the internal pipes have been hot for some hours or half a day you can fire up four logs at once and close the iron doors (inside the brass ones which remain open when firing) and pull the flu to only a third open and the fire will burn from evening to around dawn. If only one logburner works it should still me enough! I'd have made that my priority number one with such a property. The electric prises are running wild, no end in sight, and it gets very cold in winter, and wood is cheap and all around! I'd also have sawed and chopped up the fallen birch for firewood early as firewood needs drying out, cannot be fired green. Being comfortable indoors through long winter months, especially with renovations would have topped my list before other projects, being a Swede, or half Swede, and living here. No need to replace burners at all, it's all about the brick chimney perhaps in need of repair to be fire safe, and the pipes within being swept and tested with pressurized air. Heating also cures and dries any wood used indoors for renovations, as wood swells and shrinks with temp and humitidy changes. It would be essential in my book. The hearth is the heart of a house! And the chimney has a central position so once it functions it will heat evenly all around.

[@badger9156]

Oh this is a good overview of the Swedish range/fireplace/cooker. Sounds like it will be amazing once it has been recommissioned 🔥. I second getting firewood cut and stacked for drying with plenty of time for drying before it is necessary. I live for fires over winter, the radiant heat makes life so cosy

[@gnarbeljo8980]

@@badger9156 so do I. I've got mixed feelings about this channel and it's creator. I cant get into it here but its on the spectrum to a point of conplete disinterest in the place and architecture she purchased, in a way no serious designer would understand its been too long now. Something doesn't sit right, seem to make sense...

[@karen-ud1hc]

@@gnarbeljo8980 my feelings about you are not mixed. You sure have a lot to say. Maybe you should homestead a place of your own and upload to KZbin. No? I’m old but I see envy lurking between your lines.

[@gnarbeljo8980]

@@karen-ud1hc that's a misunderstanding. I have v e r y nice digs. In Stockholms oldest quarter. My flat is from 1656. I hapoen tp care about old swedish buildings and living. I'm 53 😂 I'd not move up north for a million bucks, sorry, its paradise to some not to ever run across other humans by chance, but n o t to me 😂. Are you the same? Perhaps this is a channel for the socially awkward not people interested in renos.... 💡 Anyway, a house like this here is cheaper than a car up north. Anyone can buy one. Literally. I think you're talking about yourself. As so many do these days. Read what you like into strangers comments. You might have asked instead and gotten an actual answer

[@loribragg2947]

I see a lot of bravery here-a risk-taker willing to stick her neck out and teach herself how to do new things! What you have accomplished looks great (love the bathroom!) and you should feel a real sense of accomplishment. Thirty years ago my husband and I renovated a tiny 500 square foot home. We eventually enclosed the carport and made it 700 square feet. We had to do pretty much everything-new roof, kitchen, flooring, some plumbing, electrical. It took us six years to complete! We learned it always costs twice as much as you think and takes twice as long. 😂

[@miamau]

Hello, Roaming Wild Rosie. I can’t wait to see your house as fully renovated. Your skills never fails to amaze me. Thank you for uploading another video, and I hope you feel safe everyday!❤️

[@wildrosie]

Thank you Mia!

[@gailalbers1430]

yeah where did you learn to use power tools ? and the joinery ?

[@Julia-zj2ch]

After discovering your channel a few weeks ago, I spent until now watching all of your videos from the beginning. Every single thing you have done from building, gardening, sewing and baking is beautiful and heartwarming. The elegant manor in which you do everything is inspiring and motivating. Even when things don't go as planned, you remain positive and approach things as a learning experience. I am deeply appreciating and enjoying following you on this journey.

[@nielsbosteffens1749]

Just my words, and I have been following since looking for the house. This Chanel is so heartwarming, and a true and authentic person behind it.

I love this story.

[@LowkeySwedishVlog]

Yay! So glad you managed to sort the video upload 😁 We've been patiently waiting for this one. Exciting!

[@wildrosie]

It took a while, didn't it!!

[@jimmyhansson5354]

So glad you decided to have the heating situation looked at. With the electricity prices in our area I think thats a really wise step. Have the "Sotare" (chimneysweep) in your area come do a quick inspection and go from there. They are the only ones that can approve or condemn a fireplace/chimney system. I really would make that top priority. You have a lot of timber spillage, and that tree that fell in the storm should get you through the entire winter. As always - keep it up.

[@NoCatStrangling]

Fireplaces, esp. old ones, are notoriously inefficient. A small woodstove (like a Jotul, maybe?) would heat your home for free and, as Jimmy said, make good use of the dead timber on and around your lot. The ashes will be good for your compost, too.

[@kathleenoverton3263]

I d go with a small wood stove. Very efficient. Safe. And heats better than a fireplace.

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Well done Rosie, and thankyou for taking us along with you on this journey. ❤

[@humblehalfacre8464]

The shutter detail in your little toilet room is brilliant! I love the idea of blending the exterior siding to conceal the cut out. Add a screen for summer weather and glass when affordable.

[@kululv]

the shutters are cfool, but in that climate a window is absolutely a must!

[@roberthilliard4833]

Good morning, Rosie, what a really enjoyable video! It shows the remarkable progress you have made, much of it on your own; very well done . I am sure it must be very tough and challenging to keep your spirits up from time to time, especially when a particular project turns out to be far more involved and demanding, but your perseverance and commitment is quite clear to see. The results speak for themselves. The video was a great look back at your achievements and how you overcame the challenges. I also think I realise how much effort went into creating such a good video; there are hours of editing there, for sure. Very best wishes to you and I look forward to following your journey.

[@mes3387]

Wonderful progress!!

[@graceaxisa4213]

Wowsa! That water pump house is brilliant! All of the 'foundation' work was so necessary. It means that anything you do from now on has a better chance of staying strong and dry. You really are incredible and I personally think you've achieved A LOT within a year (and two months) 🤗

[@RosemaryCreations]

I love your kitchen. It is perfect. Spacious, so warm with the wood. Today, I sistered two 2' x2" poles together and it is together and in use just this evening. Doing that sistering ( which I had never heard of before your video) saved me from buying a $22 wooden pole and then having these 2 2' 2' boards lying around. In this video, I heard you use the word miserable twice. Fortunately, for everyone you rose above the miserableness. Not once during the first 30 stories did I pick up anything but happy determination and so much use of your talented skills and follow through. You are amazing in. so many ways. I do hope the previous owners are following along with your renovations. They were so right to sell their home to you.

[@sidonieburton2448]

I’ve built or contracted 5 homes thus far, and can attest that you learn much along the way. Your indoor shower is an easy fix. The Joolca instant heat shower system is amazing. Maybe look into that? You can probably find a resale tub pretty cheap…then just drain your greywater outside. I’ve had more labor intensive water before… it gets old. As a single parent, teaching full time whilst building…let just say, has its challenges. Feel proud of whatever you can accomplish, there’s always tomorrow. Just appreciate your efforts in that day🥰🙏🏻✨

[@mikaelkarlsson635]

You have really made a lot of progress. I'm impressed. I have a suggestion about the shutter window, which I believe will let winter in into the whole house. You can make a temporary "winterwindow" from plexi-glass, which you easily can screw and unscrew on the window frame. Put insulationtape on the edges or even make it "dubble-glass" with a wooden frame in between. Cheep and easy to keep winter out. During summer you just take it off.

[@sonialinsey8083]

Or even just plastic sheeting. My granny had a porch she used all winter long by installing plastic sheet stretched over a wood frame that fit right inside the porch windows. She could install and remove whenever the weather required it. That was 30 years ago, nowadays you could definitely make it FANCY.

[@kathleenoverton3263]

And replace it with a screen to keep bugs mosquitos out during warmer weather.

You have done an amazing job, Rosie. I admire you and would love to have my own DIY project in the future. There is something earthy and primal about building/renovating your own house.

You have accomplished much more than 90% of the population who distracts itself from life by watching TickTick and Netflix ;) Good luck on your future projects! Warm hugs from Scotland.

So fun to se the progress! Have you thought about installing an air heat pump (luftvärmepump in swedish)? The total cost can be about 15 000 sek, including install. I think you can heat the whole ground floor with just one. They are really efficient! :)

[@CVentura-ge1hy]

Hello again Roseanne! This is Cheryl from NE USA. I"m up to your 1st year in cabin video-wise. You mentioned having moisture problem in pump house... you could try putting plastic down under all flooring and weighing it down to keep it on ground. This keeps the ground moisture from rising into pump house. Worked for me in a little house I rented. I used discarded heavy plastic bags a furniture store regularly threw away (the sofas came in big bags.) I weighed it down with bricks. You know- around video 22 or so it looks like working on your house has really changed you. You started carrying yourself in a much more relaxed and confident way! I really enjoy seeing all the creative ways you work around not having needed materials and tools. That gives me ideas for stuff I can do around here.

[@snippetsordinarylife]

Goodness me. You have done so, so much in a year for someone who has never done DIY. I am thoroughly impressed. As you learn everything will go a bit faster too, but everything ALWAYS takes longer than planned. I am amazed at your tenacity. If I were you I would have had many days where I would have cried and asked myself what on earth I thought I was doing. Yet, here you are, going strongly after a year. Also, building when you don't have someone to help you pick up heavy stuff, help you to hold something in place for you, etc. is really hard. I am a woman living on my own who like DYIing and I know just what a struggle it can be. Watching people renovating older properties always gives one a sense of how much we take for granted. Yet when you have to struggle for everything AND do it yourself, the appreciation runs far deeper. I can't wait to see what you achieve in the next year.

[@patriciacole8773]

Bravo ‼️ I’ve never screwed two boards together. And you made a wall and you fixed the floor and you’re creating a kitchen. As far as gardens go we learn more every single year. It’s taking me a long time to figure it out. Cold weather crops grow Better. Cherry tomatoes ripen faster than beefsteaks. Lettuce cabbage kale turnips carrots and potatoes. Strawberries and raspberries. Hops bines for tea. In front of the shutters in the bathroom you could place cardboard double or triple thick. Same with all the windows at night in winter. Take it down in the day. Makes a huge difference as far as indoor temperature. Seems very peaceful as well as lovely. And no crime like in bad neighborhoods in the city. You have stuck with it dear and I hope you can be encouraged. I just wanted to add that it’s remarkably innovative to have even found this property in the first place. From my perspective the next vitally important thing is to buy a small wood stove pronto. Blessings ❣️

[@joeb4142]

“My parents were both miserable.” A lot of meaning in those five simple words. Rosie, you harsh taskmaster! 😊 I’ve been thinking about my favourite Rosie videos. The first I think was when she purchased the cabin and was actually given the keys to the front door. Rosie looked so darn happy! It makes me smile just thinking about it. My second favourite video was Rosie’s completion of the pump house. Not only was Rosie super happy (contagious) but I think the pump house was actually quite attractive when finished,

As a nordic person, before winter I would prioritize putting the extra windows on the windows in the house, it will lower your electricity consumption (keep heat in/out) and I would convert the guest house into a sauna (warm place to wash yourself, your clothes etc) with a woodburning "stove" which also heats water at the same time. Also, mice will get in through the smallest little hole so keep your food safe. And the shutters in the toilet 🥶

Rosie, I really enjoyed looking back at all you’ve done with the cottage this first year. You did most single-handedly and never let finances, lack of transport or lack of experience keep you from finding a good solution to each task. It’s obvious you are developing new skills and even imprinting your own personality on your work (shutters and Japanese inspired touches to name a few). I can imagine a future time when you’ve completed most projects and can spend your free time rambling 😉 Your journey on KZbin will always be there as a reminder of your accomplishments 😍xx

I am SO impressed with your resolve and determination to see this project through! I think you have made amazing progress considering you work another job. My grandfather was a master carpenter and I can barely tell tools apart...so I am envious of your developing skills. If I was 30 years younger I would love to do something like this. I am looking forward to seeing your progress and wish you a productive, warm and cozy winter.

A cottage in rural Sweden that you get to restore or enhance with room for a garden. That is the life!

Your house is amazing! I admire you so much! In your bathroom have you thought about making or putting a screen in your window to keep the bugs out? I also like the idea of the shudder look! You are doing so well ! You are encouraging others! God bless you dear! ☀️☀️☀️
