TIMELAPSE: 3 YEARS OF RENOVATING AN ABANDONED FRENCH FARMHOUSE

For over 3 years, we've been renovating this old Breton stone farmhouse, using natural materials like hemp and lime to the fullest. Abandoned for over ten years, there was a lot of work to be done!! We started with renovating the main building, from floor to ceiling including the roof, plumbing, electricity... basically, everything!
This year, we'll be tackling the other buildings (which, as you can see at the end, will require some work!). Our renovation adventure is far from over, and we love it 😊!
I hope you have enjoyed this timelapse !

Loved how you set up home in the renovation xxx 🥰

Your roses look beautiful. Mack is a hard worker, very focused. Finley has a lovely smile, and a slightly mischievous twinkle in his eye! I look forward to following your progress in both the UK and France.

That is a lot of work achieved. Well done. Best wishes from Australia

Thank you !

[@sweetybouh]

Bravo pour le boulot ! C’est incroyable ! Et les méthodes utilisées comme le béton de chanvre pour le sol du bas sont juste parfaites.

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Merci beaucoup ! On utilise effectivement un maximum de matériaux naturels et adaptés au bâti ancien. Et on aime bien expérimenter 😄

J'adore le ton de ces vidéos que je viens de regarder, toutes ensemble. Il change merveilleusement des habituelles. On ne se prend pas la tête, on ose, on essaie et si ça plante on recommence. Bravo Anne-Laure, le boulot réalisé est phénoménal.

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Merci beaucoup ☺️ C'est exactement ça l'idée !

[@mamienne16]

C'en est étourdissant d'efficacité ! mais n'allez pas trop vite vous ne sauriez pas quoi faire ;) Mille bravos à toute cette équipe redoutablement au top

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Merci beaucoup ☺️ On a encore de quoi s’occuper quelques années quand même 😆

[@sacha9288]

Un ptit commentaire qui donne du courage pour a suite 💪Je vous ai découvert avec youtube, c'est chouette de voir d'où vous êtes parti dans ce timelapse 🙂

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Merci beaucoup ! Pour nous aussi c'est sympa de revoir tous ces moments en condensé !

[@sabbess3049]

Bonjour, sacré travail, bravo...

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Merci beaucoup 🥰

[@piddy3825]

that was a lot of work. just dunno how I feel about those osb walls. felt uncomfortable like it was temporary...

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Actually it kind of was ! First we wanted to add plywood on top to finish it. At the moment we don’t really know if we want to cover it or not. We will build a library on the main wall so anyway it will be kind of covered 😊

[@lemaconbreton9297]

au top la vidéo ;)

[@ALdiyrenovation]

merci 🥰

[@nordwestbeiwest1899]

What I noticed in your video was that you had very poor insulation because I saw a lot of gaps. These are called cold bridges where condensation forms

[@ALdiyrenovation]

The insulation is not done yet :)

[@nordwestbeiwest1899]

@@ALdiyrenovation : ok, that was just my observation. I also wish you a sunny, warm morning from northwest Germany

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Thank you ! A beautiful sunday evening to you :)

[@jeojeo9393]

Why did you not save and recycle the slate tiles ?

[@ALdiyrenovation]

They were too damaged unfortunatly. We saved barely 20 out of the whole roof 😅

[@user-zg6kr2yw8e]

Is it safe to use a lot of OSB inside the house?

[@ALdiyrenovation]

We are using OSB without formaldehyde, make sure the composition is safe before using it inside :)

[@user-zg6kr2yw8e]

@@ALdiyrenovation oh, it's great! I became already worried about you)). You did a fantastic work! Wish you happy life in your renovated house!

[@ALdiyrenovation]

Thank you !

[@myla2102]

Au moins un peu de pierres apparentes sur un mur intérieur? En souvenir ….

[@ALdiyrenovation]

On pensait le faire à l'étage, en bas comme le seul mur intérieur communique avec l'appenti qui sera toujours plus froid et humide on préférait bénéficier du confort du chanvre :)

Проще было снести и построить новый дом.

[@oskarschneider2316]

Да...работы много...можно так сказать...бочька без дна 😂 но важен исход...тем более это достаточно старый дом немногоистории...как говорится ломать не строить...поэтому исчезает наше прошлое... и что мы строим сегодня дома для птичек 😂 это наследство для будущего поэтому респект тем людям кто пытается продлить существование прошедшего для будущего

[@jeojeo9393]

Omg I can not believe that you painted the natural wooden beams 😑

[@ALdiyrenovation]

We don't have direct sunlight and we didn't want feeling like living in a cave, especially in winter.

[@wasabifr]

je suis épuisé rien que de voir cette vidéo 😂

[@ALdiyrenovation]

hahaha, c'était pourtant pas le but 😆

[@jeojeo9393]

But sooo sad that you covered over the original stone walls 🙁

[@ALdiyrenovation]

We covered the wall in contact with the exterior to regulate humidity and have better insulation. We will have exposed stone walls upstairs, on internal walls 😉
