Secrets Beneath The Ivy - Forgotten Walls

[@JackHoepner]

Remove this ivy! Even if it looks nice, it is the worst thing for buildings with brickwork. Its shoots penetrate the mortar and break it up, allowing water to get in and cause major damage. It is a lot of work because every joint has to be checked, but in the long run it is worth it, both visually and financially. Do it before you start working on the inside, otherwise you will trap the moisture in the brickwork. This work is unpleasant, but important in the long run. But don't let it stress you out and have fun renovating. So far you are doing a great job!

[@michaelberry6027]

Don’t worry about the wisteria. There was one at my house I tried to get rid of for 16 years. I couldn’t kill it. It kept growing back. I think you’ll be OK.

[@cherylcook6284]

After you get the ivy & wisteria off, go back with a blow torch and burn the roots left on the building.

My granny always said a house breaths and lives. So when laughter and music is played the house sings with you.

[@laurelldockall2399]

Yes. Laughter, music and a warm fire and Love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

What joy both of you Sadie and Stan, are bringing to this forgotten mansion. Not only are you both freeing it of years of overgrowing vegetation, but with your songs and laughter, it is bringing life back to the house again. I look forward each day to seeing your videos which are always full of joy. Take care of each other and stay warm. xx

Wisteria grows back as fast as Ivy, you well be able to see the difference when it pops up. Awsume video, a world of wonder. 👏

[@veronikavien7037]

It will grow back, but you may not have any flowers for a few years.

[@AdrianneSteeley]

Hello darkness, my old friend! PLEASE do NOT let Yanis get hurt. He is a crucial part of Team Petherick. Loved the surprise visit from him in this video. Now I am off to see him in Billy's video.

[@beaniecat1980]

Yes, the wisteria should grow back. 😊 Jonny is doing a great job. Thanks for introducing him.

Wisteria comes back from the smallest root. At lest it is that way here in the US.

[@julietrask7497]

Yes, that is so true.

[@Carte-Blanche-NZ]

It is very hard to kill that is for sure! At least wisteria will allow the air to get to the walls in winter.

[@michellemonksfield2171]

Yes it grows like weeds here in Australia

[@Marblea1]

It is invasive as well. Must be maintained big time. It's beautiful but I would not have it.

[@PatriciaRocca-ve1tw]

In the southern United States, wisteria is invasive. It should come back but watch it.

[@milkweeddreams8828]

LOL...never a dull moment, you guys are just too much fun to watch...may the shenanigans never end...that chateau is just amazing and I could easily live there as soon as the hot water arrives...love the fire and the tunes...

[@mojomom63]

[@melbacrush8926]

I was just thinking, with just cleaning the rubbish and cleaning up outside as well as the windows & fireplaces it is very noticeable from the beginning to now. Great job, great video 👏

[@cindybanks6844]

Oh how exciting Sadie, Stan's music brings so much sunshine even on a cold dreary day...such fun

[@minecraftmum3436]

I'm always smiling at the end of each video. Also it was lovely to meet Johnny, such a hard worker, his oops over the wisteria is small in the whold scheme of things. 🙂

[@judithbecker564]

I seem to recall many comments when Billy planted wisteria at the convent. It IS impressive in covering territory. There is a famous place in Southern California where a wisteria has covered a house and surrounding areas. Great visitor spot when the whole thing blooms in the spring.

[@cindym4946]

You make me smile! Thank you!

[@DanielaS-zh9uz]

[@irishdancer2753]

Sadie and Stan, so enjoyed your video, with your music at the end of each video! Such a treat! 🎄

[@peggydecker9162]

Wisteria is very forgiving...from a small root a giant plant will grow...continue with ivy removal...in spring watch for wisteria signs...then begin to train it...ya'll are doing a great job and your channel is our favorite!♡

[@pegglover3244]

Wisteria can be very invasive!

[@jlotoo850]

@@pegglover3244 I know. It would be best to transplant it AWAY from the house in a garden with a large trellis and a seat underneath it to sit on; Just not up next to a building...

[@pennywebster9466]

@@jlotoo850 Yes Wisteria is beautiful but a big mistake n the building..Grow it on a trellis away from mature trees and buildings.. VERY INVASIVE..

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Glad to see you’re overcoming your fear of heights Stan, needs must. You’ve got a lav now, no more going outside lol. Into the bargain we get music and dancing, wonderful. Thank you Johnny, you have done great work.

[@James-f6f5g]

They don't have running water yet.

[@jlotoo850]

You should probably remove all the shutters and bring them inside so you can work on repairing and painting them over the winter. It will also allow you to clean the sides of the building with a jet washer without having to constantly open and close them. Also will be more handy for Stan and Johnny to repoint them with lime, with the shutters out of their way. You can put them back in place in teh sporing when they have all been repaired and painted; bringing a fresh look to the Cahteau. Also it might be easier to have Sadie's Dad come over with his machines and just remove all of the bushed etc from aroiund teh chateau--in fact tear up all the grounds completely so you can access the land to replant it in the spring. By removing it now, you will be able to see the new growth of the brush in the spring more easily to remove the final brambles. Then it will also be very easy to plant your garden early once spring comes. ♥

[@jenilocke8255]

I have to laugh, just after Stan said "hello darkness my old friend" the next advert was for a musical instrument and they were playing that song, planning or random? Lol big brother is listening😂

[@barbaraaddis4011]

My dealings with Wisteria has been, and is, a continuing nightmare!!! A property owner bordering my home and property planted it and then moved away. Leaving a terribly invasive mess that is trying its best to take over my yard. I cannot get rid of it. It’s covering their land and also my lawn. It’s climbing their trees and mine, killing them causing me to periodically deal with falling trees and limbs into and over my driveway. I’m 74 and this has been my most horrible nightmare and is more than I can deal with on my own . I cannot for the life of me see why anyone who has ever seen how invasive it is could possibly want it. It’s beautiful but, NOT THAT BEAUTIFUL TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH ITS INVASIVE TENDENCIES!!! Instead of “buyer beware”-“planter/grower BEWARE”!!! Pray yours is not the same variety!!😏 Love you and Stan. Look forward to your videos.

[@Redbuzzcut]

Guys - wisteria will come back after getting cut down, just be patient. It will take 2 -3 years for it to get large enough to bloom again. It is a very strong plant and can damage buildings, just be sure it is trained to climb so as not to damage the house. Love your content and of course, music is a nice touch - differentiates you guys from everyone else. Cheers!

[@LindaLarsen-ec3wt]

I don’t know about over there but here in Florida wisteria is considered invasive like the ivy. I would consider moving the roots to a place where it can grow and be managed well so it doesn’t cause more damage to your beautiful home
