Farmhouse Restoration | Gutters 

It absolutely amazes me how much you know how to do at such a young age. Your dad must have been teaching you by the time you could walk. I love watching your videos.

Hanging a plumb line down the wall to ensure the down spout is straight - simple genius! It's the easy things that everyone misses.

These videos bring me joy. You've inspired me to find an old place and restore it. I've learned from you.

No better Hop-up, saw bench, cuppa seat, than an old beer crate 👌

Love Dad's bracelet

A real pleasure watching you two men work. And a genuine learning experience, too. Jolly good.

On a restoration project such as this, saving money by devising ways to do the job yourself & improvising is the best option. You are doing that & seem to manage it in a way that gets the job done efficiently & is eye appealing. Nice work!

Carl I'm loving this stuff, excellent work👍. I started working on old farm buildings with my uncle when I was 11. Some demolished and replaced with new large modern structures, others refurbished as it depended what the intended use was. Also cast sillage pits, cattle crushes and concreted lots of the farmyard as the winter weather in NW Ireland is ultra wet!! All via a mixer on the back of the tractor AFTER drawing the sand and gravel via trailer (all shovelled on) from local ancient beach areas (licenced). Uncle still farms it nearly 50 years later. We worked extremely hard but had great fun, your videos brought amazing memories back for me. It nearly killed my auntie trying to feed us as we were burning so many calories every day. 👍👍👍

“More drilling was done, and more holes were made.“ lol

I love this beautiful, simple half-moon design. Clean and simple

i watch almost all the vids and are left with respect towards the craft and patience

Hi, It’s always nice to follow project. It’s a pleasure to listen to you. Easy to follow. I’m not English. How many are you in the family? Looking forward to next episode. Thks a lot Louis

I think you guys are brilliant and inspiring. I have not watched all the videos yet, but I do think though that your younger sister deserves some mentioning from time to time.

The gutter system looks simple but elegant. Nice work.

Hello from the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful gutter system you have there! We are on year 5 of a similar gutter (6” / 15 cm half round galvanized steel) install (father and son installed). The only difference is that we have are using rain chain instead of downspouts. We get a tremendous amount of precipitation here - 167 days a year on average . We have had 2 snow/ ice storms of 18” (45 cm) or greater accumulation since install and several windstorms of 50+mph (80+ kph). I am pleased to report the gutters still hold tight and have not needed any repairs. All joints are riveted and sealed with gutter mastic. You should anticipate a long happy life with your gutters😀👍 Fantastic channel have created. You and your dad make a good team. Keep up the good work. PS- still looking for the metric conversion factor for “days”.

Carl I think we need to build small houses for the birds' nests. It will make a good movie. Thanks for the motivation, I live in a small town. Where people started living from 1152 . The village grew into a town in 1781. There are very few old houses, many have been destroyed by wars

Soothing to watch your work... and listen to your voice!

Beautiful job ! Great attention to Detail . Two masters

This was smartly designed and beautifully built.

Very enjoyable to follow your steps and meticulous work, excellent result!

That house is getting so much prettier, wonderful job. Wish you the best 👍👍👍

I have to hand it to you, your workshop has the best conditions to realize ideas. I only have a modest little one to show for it - but for my needs it's quite enough. Maybe this year at Christmas there will be one or the other woodworking machine as a gift.

Thanks for posting and sharing. Looking fwd to seeing more of your episodes.

thoughtful & thorough work.

Great! I was just looking for a video like this one to learn about how to do it too! Thank you and greetings from Portugal.

Quality craftsmen yet again!

Nice, good old days all joints would have been soldered, now that would have been fun

I've been going through your entire playlist : your videos are very soothing as a background while I'm working! Your voice-over, the nature sounds, you working and the wind chimes combine in the most wonderful way. Thank you! I realise I'm super late to this video, but why aren't birds welcome to roost under the roof tiles ? The entire construction seems so solid that one nest can't really damage that, right? Restoring the farm must feel to some types of birds like a restoration of their habitat, no?

Another outstanding project

Awesome vid. Great work.

Nice work👍🏻 what a complex fastening system you got.

As thorough as possible. Top job. F all straight in an old French place.😮

I love your video’s! I learn a lot about your techniques👍😃

Lime pointing is where it is at!!!

Back again, finally. Awesome 😎

Fantastic craftmenship well done

Excellent work

Very nice job ...thanks for sharing it with us ....Karim from Algeria

I need to install gutters on my old farm in 2 weeks. This will help for sure. Thanks ! Subscribed.

Same we can only buy black / white plastic at B&Q in the UK - great work looks quality in my opinion

Very nice job you guys work very hard

great work

Well done !!

Sir, your vision, your planning and advice with the help of your good team is on another level. I see bringing the past into the present and future! {Awesome skill level}!

Outstanding!!

Great job!

Beautiful patient work mate, wish metal guttering was so readily available here in Uk.

A beautiful job.

I like your work. God bless you.

Muchas gracias por enseñarnos tanto Carl. Un saludo

Wonderful video

Good Job!

Really nice commentary 👌 very enjoyable

Awesome work and video thank you👍

Ótimo trabalho! Parabéns! (Nice job , congratulations!)

Solder, solder, solder.

Thanks a lot, it was worth the waiting.

It is very nice work, I like it

I NOTICED ON THE 54 PLUS MINUTE IT REALLY"TOOK OFF"! CONGRATS ON 6 MILLION VIEWS AND GROWING!!

Looks like there’s a bigger gap than necessary between the tool rest and the wheel on your bench grinder, check your owners manual and close the gap for safety sake. Love your channel, you do great work.

Hola !! Excelente trabajo Felicitaciones 👏👏👏❤🏡

Great video ,thanks

I think you should have soldered the joints rather than riveted, those rivets will not last. That is how I learnt of my French roofer. I think the reason they do it is because in France they get heavy rain and you will be surprised at how much pressure builds up. Nice video series!

Lovely bit of lateral thinking. If you can't buy what you want, then make it. Well done.

I'm amazed you got a hole saw to bore through tin and only broke two pilot bits!

beautiful house, beautiful job, what else ?? Bonne continuation pour les travaux!

This looks good, for now. I hope it doesn't snow where you live... or rain to much.... or get too windy.

Outstanding effort. You should be very proud. Thank you for sharing.

Sehr schön , gut gemacht .

I hope the silicone that you are using is compatible with the tin of the gutters.The downpipe brackets are brilliant, Ive used them before and would recommend them to anyone.

Good job

Nice job.

A lot of work for a really nice outcome!

nice job

Amazing

Mooi gemaakt en weer een top job 💪👌👍🤩 Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼👋🏼

Ask Santa for a pair of tin snips , great job on the install

Great craftsmanship. Well done indeed!

super curious to find out about the water tank. Great video series btw

Excellant!

Nice work. I Laike it. 👏👏

Beautiful. Great work.

If I may make a suggestion 1. Lightning Rod on the Roof tied in to the gutter system and than a ground stake in the ground 2. Keep up the great Work.

That seems fine and dandy for the thin light rain, but what about when it gets thicker in the winter and doesn't run so easy

Awesome

A great lesson! That's how gutters are made for 200 years. (Only silicone will not last that long) ...

Thank you for the video. I own a place in the same department than you and your work is helping a lot in my renovation.

You need a cordless Milwaukee grinder with a 6" metal cutting wheel makes life alot easier

fine!

I'm interested to see how the mastic joints work out as I've not had good results. Ended up soldering the old fashion way (and learnt a new skill! 😀).

I have really enjoyed watching your progress. Where is this building located? Are you turning it into a house? Will there be more episodes to come? ❤️❤️❤️

Wot - no soldered joints? The guttering supports are also normally driven into the genoise to be closer to the roof tiles

It looks astheticlly pleasing but the silicone stuff will eventually leak. The scope is an automatic level or dumpy level

You guys deserve the gutter fabrication & installation Nobel Prize !!

AMAZING......

Nice 👍

Well done. I like your work and video and your cat .

Nice work. Thanks for sharing your work with us. One suggestion: I think it is easier to cut the hole for the downspout in the gutter by just cutting into it with a hacksaw and then using tin snips (metal cutting shears) to cut the hole. In my opinion this is a better (less dangerous and cleaner) approach than using the hole saw on an electric drill.

ottimo lavoro io avrei optato per un canale piu grande comunque bravi

A little oil which you clean off later with acetone would go a long way to keeping your drill bits intact. Simply sleeving the threaded bar into a tube/pipe would give you a way to adjust the guttering horizontally, as well. Consider patenting that guttering method and selling it as a kit on-line. It's incredibly useful for all sorts of buildings.
