Saving our Swedish House from water damage - Renovations Part 2 - #9

[@alisonhampshire3081]

Well that's what I call girl power well done Naomi a girl after my own heart. I turned 70 this year and refuse to let things get the better of me i see a kindrid spirit in you. You are a great couple the best of luck with your new house . Alison from Perth Australia

[@Natasha76234]

Naomi saves the day!!

[@d.shariayodele6492]

Naomi, my daughter is goofy and full of joy like you! You remind me of her!! Tiny tears fill my eye as I watch you two do amazing things in pursuit of happiness- our God given right. May our long distance support be some wind beneath your wings. PS... let us know when the “Open House” is! (Watching from TX, USA)

[@NaomiandJack]

Thank you Aunty. God is great 🙏 Blessings to you and your family xx

[@KalleFlodin]

Haha, welcome to Sweden and the reality of owning a house 🙈❤ So happy that you share your journey with us, thank you for that 😊

[@stefanexplores]

Hallå Kalle! Big fan of yours too. This is turning into a cool little community of people who like the countryside of northern Sweden.

[@gr1mrea9er82]

Kalle please help these two find their footing in the Swedish countryside. Winters in Scandinavia can be more severe than they might anticipate.

[@prohuntersa4999]

How easy is it for foreigners to own land/houses in Sweden?

[@estherlovespodcasts25]

I would LOVE to spend the rest of life in Sweden

[@christian_koester]

@@prohuntersa4999 It's easy. Just buy whatever you want, and use it for whole or part time living. I just bought an old house in Northern Sweden this summer. I'm danish.

[@mariansmith7694]

Naomi is a wonderwoman, smart, strong and creative. Oh, and beautiful too... Jack is great too & so handsome

[@divox9pqr]

I am thoroughly captivated by you all. First the luck you have had in getting a home in a foreign country. Then the effort and work your putting forth to get going on the renovations. And then the courage you’re showing in the present, and faith in the future. But as Naomi said repeatedly, it’s your kitchen, it’s your living room. You own it, and that makes all the difference in the world, in your world. BRAVO. Oh yes, I failed to mention how wonderful it is that you two are a combination. Naomi, you are quite beautiful,and you Jack are very handsome. May you have many yrs of happiness together.

[@elisabethe8055]

Well, those radiators have caused trauma to the Swedish people for centuries.. Welcome to our world! :) For the future, turn the water off, seal the pipes and keep the radiator level and upright at all times. They might be old radiators, but they will never fail you in terms of giving cheap heat. Never change dem for electric ones, but learn how they operate. Good job, and welcome to Sweden! :)

[@SunflowerFromDeath]

well yes old iron radiators were great but you can buy same radiator but made with much lighter material and better heat transfer

[@elisabethe8055]

@Lola Montez Water.. from the hot boiler pan. Not hot if you dont turn the boiler on thay could be heated by oil or wood burning stove. There is no need for a plumber, but you need to "burp" the radiators and turn off the water to it before taking them off, it is a closed system. Most important of all is to keep them upright. I guess you learn the hard way.

[@dvogonen]

@Lola Montez If you live in an old house in Lappland you need to be able to fix things like that by yourself. If you don't know how to fix things, you need to be able to learn. I admire the energy and drive of the new home owners. It will all work out fine!

[@Balkongodlaren]

@Lola Montez Calm down! To your questions, for this kind of heating system in Sweden the conduit is water. If you look at the previous video you can clearly see that the furnace is most likely wood fired, although it looks like it may have been converted from oil fired, and has a modern "accumulator" tank that buffers the heat. Typically the radiators are connected to the tank, perhaps self circulating but most likely thru an electric circulating pump. The tank also contains a pipe spiral near the top that heats the tap water, and it usually also has an electric heating element powerful enough to provide hot water during the summer and keep the system, and the house, from freezing up if you're on vacation in the winter. If you're lucky it also has a secondary pipe spiral in the bottom for connecting solar heating. The top of the furnace and the top of the tank is typically connected with a straight pipe that is also connected to an expansion vessel high up in the attic and to a three way valve operated by a mechanical thermostat down at the floor, that is also connected to both the tank and to the furnace at floor level. When you fire up the furnace you heat the water in its own closed circuit and when it becomes hot enough the three way valve opens and you start to load heat into the tank thru self circulation. Keep your eyes at the thermometers, and stop firing at the right time before the tank is fully heated up, otherwise the system will boil and you loose some of that precious heat! When the furnace cools down the three way valve automatically closes and the furnace can cool down without cooling the tank. This system is becoming more or less standard in rural homes in Sweden. You can connect geothermal, aerothermal or hydrothermal heating, or any other heat source, to the tank, in the same way as the furnace, so it's truly multi functional!

[@apuuvah]

We had wood boiler central heating with iron plumbing and 2000 litre hot water tank for heating and hot water AND about 2000 kg brick baking oven, which is VERY common for heat and cooking in Finland, especially east Finland. The best combo there is, but circulating pumps DO need electricity.

[@hanscarlsson7276]

I am a Swedish expat living in Thailand. Viewing this video made me very homesick. Sometimes I really miss the tranquility and beautiful nature of Sweden.

[@fjdkfdfjdf33]

That radiator work was certainly worth going viral! What a job!

[@earthmotherdragon4572]

So nice to see you chose Sweden, did the same after 20 years in the UK....but in Sweden living in Lapland, your neighbours are super important.......good to talk to your neighbours......There will always be someone willing to help. Those old radiators are actually very efficient so keep them as long as possible. Best of luck to you both, you doing good. x

[@mariansmith7694]

No doubt, this time in Sweden will change and redirect your lives, open new possibilities and opportunities. I love Naomi's spiritual tid bits on every video. I am an old woman and you both inspire me to stay strong, dream new dreams and keep on at it. Thanks.

[@DBox3591]

Superwoman! (Radiator!) Well done, Naomi. 👏🏽 Great job, both of you! (Everything else!) 🙌🏽

[@NaomiandJack]

Awh thank you so much💞

[@graceannec2239]

Awesome resourcefulness Naomi in addressing the radiator issues. You are amazingly strong and determined when taxed in a given, urgent situation. I love that sofa creation also. The exposed ceilings in the bedroom are gorgeous. So amazing to watch you both tackle everything from scratch, working together and being equally yoked. Love your stories and your connection to the Lord. Very inspiring. Subscribed on the day you picked up the keys to your new home. Love from Canada.

[@anniespeller6833]

After you guys purchased this house, never in a million years would i have guessed the transformation that is being made b4 my eyes. Naomi, what other hidden talents do you have? You made that sofa like you knew what to do. The two of you did a fantastic job with the flooring. What about the leaking roof, did you stop the leakage? You guys are making a believer out me and what you can do together when you put your heads together with a plan. Proud of you and Jack for stepping out of faith to make this project happened. Continue success with everything - I'll be watching. #USA

The roof wasn’t leaking. The connections for the radiator upstairs was causing the leak.

What a very wise and AMAZING young lady, your words made me cry. You are both doing amazing. LOVE IS THE KEY.xx

[@JustClaireGrace]

Moving to Sweden from the UK is my dream, so I'm loving these videos! We are currently in the process of paying off all of our debt, so that we can make the dream a reality. I sometimes feel that at 41 years old, I'm too old to do this, but you are inspiring me!

[@KjellEson]

You are very welcome! I hope your dream comes true. There are almost 100,000 lakes here. To sit by a lake in July or August when the birds have fallen silent, then it's a silence you can not imagine. It's absolutely quiet (except for an insect that may be buzzing). I have a friend from Australia. I go with him to such a lake. He did not think it could be so quiet on earth. You do not have to go to Lapland to get absolute silence and absolute peace around you. But it is guaranteed if you come north of the city of Örebro.

[@MsNella]

We might need to start a club for all of us who want to move. Visited sweden for the first time 12 years ago and fell in love instantly. Been back two more times and I cannot wait to call it home

[@christian_koester]

@@MsNella A club sounds like a great idea - or some community, on fb eg. I just moved to Northern Sweden myself this summer. Renovating an old house. I think there is a whole movement coming up.

[@MsNella]

@@christian_koester Please let me know about the community if you ever find one and I’ll join. Do you have a YT channel for us to follow your journey? I just want to live vicariously through others for now 😃

[@christian_koester]

@@MsNella I do not have a KZbin channel. I thought of if, but feel exhausted everytime I think of it. Getting all the recording gear, thinking in recording everytime I do anything, and learning everything about editing, sounds and so on. I don't think I would get anything done on my house if I had to think that into my everyday. I might create a blog one day, since I like writing more, and the whole philosofical approach to living this way. Untill then, you are welcome to follow me on instagram. I now and then publish something from the house project, mixed up with everyday discoveries from my life in Sweden and around. I might create a future instagram just for thoughts about the project aswell, but for now its just this one account. I will announce through this, when I come up with something more, eg. a community. It's called "koebben" - Christian :)

It’s as if the previous owners were saving all this wood, material, and hardware for the next owners, as a way to maintain this house, and its legacy. 🥳

[@shelleygibbons1065]

Tough woman !! Good job Naomi My favorite name from the Bible

[@kristenhudson3993]

Greetings from Ohio and the Great Lakes. New subscriber here. I had to subscribe to see you finish your reno. I was in awe of the price you paid for your house. THAT INCLUDED: (1) a handful of out buildings full of various tools and supplies (2)an acre and a half of extra land (3)a house of full of various things you will not need to buy (4) a full basement with several rooms. Plus you don't have neighbors on top of you. How amazing and peaceful. Doing the renovations to make it how you want it just makes it that much better. I am hooked.

[@jacobkubakowski6930]

@Lola Montez Yep

[@IamMardia]

Your two are very creative and hard working. I liked how determined Naomi was to get the radiator back.

[@macdaddy1149]

I live in Texas and I’m a Irish white boy and my wife is a beautiful black queen ( like Naomi is). It’s so great to see more and more interracial relationships in the world. Being in Texas we deal with a lot of racism. Especially right now with the political situation in this country. Thank you so much for sharing your lives. I will continue to watch your videos. By the way, I would love to live in the area you are living. It’s so beautiful there. I look forward to seeing the next video.

[@vicsillnorth7970]

@ Lola Montez: Actually Lappland is also a part of Sweden, a big part, around 25 % of all the land in Sweden. It streches from the border to Norway and Finland in the north, down to south of Åsele in the south.

[@vicsillnorth7970]

And it’s cheap because not many people want to live there 😂

[@user-wk3np3sh2j]

@Lola Montez I know what area they live in, and closest food storage is like 20 min away with car. 2 airports within 45 min away. I would say that you have almost everything within 1hr.

[@macdaddy1149]

@Lola Montez I grew up in Youngstown OH. You can get property there and in the surrounding area for less than $11,000. They are bulldozing houses in that area. My brother lives in Warren OH. He paid $5000 for his house with a double lot. It’s a big old mill house that needs some work but it’s 3 stories or 4 if you include the basement. It has a completely finished attic and could be turned into three separate apartments. Most of these type houses are going for $20,000 or less depending where you look. Some of the areas like where my brother got his house is under $10,000. You can get old mansions for under $50,000. This area is extremely depressed and after they pulled the GM plants out of Lordstown, it was two plants attached, the housing market took a giant hit. Parts of West Virginia are pretty cheap too. It’s sad, I have friends that had to transfer to other GM plants and sell their homes at a loss or couldn’t sell them at all.

[@macdaddy1149]

@Lola Montez I said you can get houses for under $11,000 dollars. My best friend and some of my family live there. They are still bulldozing houses in Youngstown. Poland is a nicer area. I lived there for a few years but grew up on a farm on Highland Ave in Lordstown OH. He bought the house in Warren OH. It’s only a few miles from where I grew up. Yes it needed repairs but not $30,000 worth. It was move in ready when he got it. It was mostly cosmetic issues. There are plenty of houses in Warren and Youngstown that are cheap. They are old houses that do need work but my friend has had 4 houses bulldozed on his street and two were actually nice, old but updated recently. The first house I bought was in Youngstown. I paid $28,000 for it back in 97 and it was nice.The GM plant closing hurt that area really bad. That was the last major employer in that area. If you go to Bordman, Poland, Austintown or any area where there are great high schools of course the houses are more expensive. But you can find some gems in Warren and Youngstown for cheap. That was my point. No it’s not Sweden, but you said there were no houses in the Rust Belt that cheap and I’m saying there is.

Naomi and Jack brought light to boring Sweden.

[@KjellEson]

Welcome to northern Sweden and Lapland. Area 109 702 km² Population density 0.82 inhabitants / km² Population about 90,000 Lapland has a polar climate. In winter, the temperature can drop below −40 ° C The summer can be hot with up to + 25-30 ° C Annual rainfall can amount to 1000mm In the mountains 1500mm Hope it does not scare you. I just want to convey facts so you know a little about Lapland. You are so far north now that the limit for where trees can grow is about 600m above sea level. Typical animals where you are are reindeer, moose, wolverines and lynx and maybe sometimes the rare mountain fox. Mountain lemmings, forest lemmings, forest hares and beavers are also common. Here are birds that only live this far north. If you watch the video, there is a type of sledge called "kick". Very good to have in the winter. The woodcut looked miserable. Has probably not been used for many years. Hope the locals help you. They are often very helpful, kind and very knowledgeable. Remember to dress in several layers with clothes that are a little thinner than thick sweaters. Three four layers and a jacket on the outside and you stay warm. The locals know. Good luck and I will follow you on youtube. Ask questions in the videos that you make to the Swedish people. Then we can help you with most things. Best regards Kjell (pronounced Shell)

Btw, since you love nature I hope you do realise you are only like a 7 hour drive or so away from some of the most spectacular nature in the world: the Lofoten archipelago in Norway. Also the city Bodø and surroundings should be worth a weekend trip.

[@bossthefluff]

Though Naomi is English she is also obviously of African descent. Her tenacity and ingenious way of using planks to hoist the radiator in position in combination with her heritage brings me to all my African travels and to the multitude of videos I’ve watched with ingenious indigenous Africans with limited resources using almost any object in unimaginably smart ways to accomplish a required task. You guys will most certainly find a way to deal with the cold, snow, darkness, and any other difficulty Norrland throws your way. It’s all about attitude and you’ve got the right kind. The problem with Norrland is that once you’re bitten it’s in your blood. You can leave it behind but it’ll never leave you. ❤️

The flooring... Looks like you guys had a task on your hands 👀

[@Balkongodlaren]

Welcome to Sweden! It'll be a real treat to follow you settling in, especially how you find life so far up north now when the dark months of the year arrives. Lappland is still magical in the winter, but in an entirely different way than during the summer... Stock up on candles and blankets and enjoy the dark! I hope your real estate broker, or your neighbors, already informed you, but if they didn't here's some advice for the cold months to come: Your chimneys needs to be cleaned and also certified at regular intervals by your local head chimney sweep. If that was not done in the sales process, check it out! The chimney sweep can also give you hints on the operation of your heating system and give you references to a good local plumber, if you need more help. It looks like you have an old wood burning furnace with a supplementary electric heater for producing hot water during the summer. You also have an accumulator tank that can buffer the heat between firings, but you'll likely need to fire up the boiler at least once a day during a normal winter, maybe two times, depending on the weather. Your house looks really nice from the outside, but those soft "tretex" panels you found behind the wallpapers and the windows that looks to be at most two pane, in worst case only one pane, gives me a vibe of the house not being too well insulated... However, there was something that looked like window frames in one of your sheds. Are those maybe inner frames that can be installed for the winter? You got the house at a really good prize, but it may become really expensive to heat in the winter, especially if you're not prepared! Get yore self familiar with the heating system now! Firewood needs to dry during the summer to give decent output, you can still buy extra for a decent prize for this winter, but if you run out in February it'll be expensive. Also, during this winter is the right time to cut down a couple of trees in your forest to get firewood for the next winter... And get a homeowners insurance, of course! If you don't already have one. Best of luck to you and your endeavor!

[@dvogonen]

@Lola Montez Not to sure about running back to mum&dad due to the cold. My experience is that UK houses are a lot colder and draftier during winter time than Swedish houses. The Swedish climate has always made it necessary to use construction methods that keep the cold out. Even very simple houses will be well insulated and double walled.

[@dvogonen]

@Lola Montez Sure. The house is old and run down. No argument. But it has central heating and is clearly built for winter use. The cold will not be an issue. Lots of other things are issues. Especially the electrical installations and the wet rooms. The wires are probably cloth spun. I would not touch those with a ten foot pole. As to the price, it is partly due to the condition, but mostly due to the location. Houses in Sweden are not at all cheap. A standard house in Stockholm goes for 800 000$. Even in smaller town you might be paying 300 000$. But there are remote area in the northern part of Sweden where it is very hard to find work. All the young people move out, leaving the elderly. In these places it is impossible to sell houses and even retrieve the value of the building material.

You two are exceptionally good at problem solving. The laminate looks great.

I love your positivity! We are in your shoes, money are never there, so creativity it is! I have learned to sew, paint, plumber... We are also wanting to relocate to Sweede, we are currently in the USA but are Bulgarian, how ever I can’t seem to find any websites for houses on the market! Cheeper ones, I mean, all I see is very expensive ones. I am u sure if you will see my comment but can you or anyone that reads it please help us with some website links tips and ideas? Thank you so much from a fellow vlogger

[@vicsillnorth7970]

@ missprettyonabudget: Go to the website hemnet.se. In the green square to the right where it says ”skriv område”, type in Norrbottens län or Västerbottens län. You might not find anything as sheep as 90000 sek, but still really cheap houses.

[@missprettyonabudget]

@@vicsillnorth7970 Thank you so much, it doesn’t have to be this much but anything below 25-30 thousand usd will be great!

[@juliettebarton8467]

Y'all were suggested to me today, and I've thoroughly enjoyed learning your journey. Naomi is such fun.

[@annebritraaen2237]

Good job, girl! My husband gave me a tool-box for our first christmas. It's one of my most cherised possessions. _ it took me a while, though.

[@NaomiandJack]

What an amazing gift, creating is so exciting and fun 💞

[@kevinjermaine]

Naomi is a rock star!
