Fixing a Hole in the Floor - Restoring a Portuguese Farm House 

Jesus,,,, as a Portuguese Canadian. i am amazed how well you read and pronounce portuguese.. Brilliant

Kylie is one heck of a lady. I believe she can do anything.

I never get tired or bored watching you two work.

Love how well you two work together. Fantastic job so far. The entire world should learn from you two on work ethics.

👍 Here's a second thumbs up for you and a hole in the floor is always more interesting than watching water evaporate.

Loved extra clips with the two of you having a lot of fun ❤ Need more of that 😉

Im loving the "persuade it nicely" That would be great for a t-shirt LOL Be well and be safe xx

You two are a hoot to watch, y’all have awesome chemistry. I love watching the projects on your home. I know you guys can’t post daily but…I could watch daily lol

We need to see more bloopers!! Love to see you working so well together.

Your Portuguese is getting on well😊

Love the outtakes!!!!!😂 Can't wait to see (hear) ones from the plumbing projects! The building inspector looks just like one in Belgium named Annika. A couple are renovating an 100 y.o. abandoned farmhouse. They, like you are doing some exceptional work on their farmhouse. It's called 'De Hoeve. Old Belgian Farm'. The cat, Annika, is always there keeping an eye on things!

I love your building inspector. He looks to be a perfectionist. You're in good hands. :)

😂Love your out-takes! lol. . You guys are so cute together! lol. . Thanks for making me smile! :) xox

You two are hilarious and definitely someone I could work with! Lol

Hello, hope you are both well. No criticism intended, what follows may help in future. If you need to do a similar job again, consider stepping your new timber away from the old (enough to get fixings in), then double/treble your new joist (depending on loading/if your creating an opening). This avoids having to adapt the hanger (not the best idea) and introducing the deflection of the old joist to the new work. This further allows you to bolt more towards the mid line of the timber (the preferable location, in this application) Also, if you can find 'timber connectors' (disks with a hole for a bolt or threaded bar, with teeth in both perpendicular directions) that draw into each timer you are mating together this helps to avoid movement of the individual timbers you are combining. Threaded bar with nuts and spreader plates (large washers) gives flexibility in length of fixing, so avoiding having to recess and reducing the bite of the fixing into the timber. Could not tell if you were using auger bits to get through the thick timber, get a set if you don't have any, they are so much better because they pull themselves through, if you have the space you can use a brace (hand drill), much lighter than holding up an electric drill. In general avoid working with your arms above your own shoulder hight, better to change your body position if feasible. Last thing to offer up is; keep your eyes open for slate (roofing slate), it's often useful as a packer when working with stone buildings: doesn't compress, can be cut to size and even hammered in to raise a joist/fill a gap/can be used as a moisture barrier. All the best.

You two were having way too much fun today! Nice job, maybe more vacations are needed....

Love the bloopers. And as you said at the end, Guy...the work never ends. You two are amazing...and funny as hell sometimes. 🤣

Who would have thought that bit of floor joist will create such a funny banter, I have giggled with you😊

I think the hat went great with the ventilator, that rockin' look. haha

For the first time the INSTRUCTIONS on a product are USEFUL ! LOL That was good one !

Your Portuguese accent is perfect!!! Within an year living amongst Portuguese speakers you ll be an expert

Hilarious outakes! And fascinating towatch you problem solving. Also well done on fixing the saw!

Not at all boring! I feel for you working in that tight space! Reparing the floor correctly will pay off in the long run! We didn't do it in our kitchen and have to live with damaged planks forever...

It is amazing how lucky we are in the US with getting construction materials.

You are an amazing team.

"Teamwork makes the dream work". Well done!

You guys are great, you’re killing me here I’m laughing so hard. No pun intended!😂 I haven’t missed a video yet. On the previous channel and this one. Always look forward to getting my alert for a new video. Thanks for sharing the hard work.

Good extra clips 🤣🤣 well done guys

Mit Fleiß und Humor, hat mir sehr gefallen ❤

lol Borax and washing soda makes a great laundry powder, too.

`Sneeze` Bless you twice. 😃. I enjoy watching thank you for sharing. Good job.

Tricky Job! Supreme Conclusion ☑

Reminds me of, 'Now I'll hold the nail, when I nod my head you hit it with the Hammer'.

I had so much fun watching the outtakes at the end. Keep those in! You guys are so interesting and inspiring. Love the kitty building standards inspector. Yours? Or a neighbour's? Glad to see you making good progress. Well done! 👏

😂 love the wood joke outtakes 😅

Fantastic video thanks for sharing your skills fabulous viewing.

I live the longer videos and bloopers

Could write some amusing comments about the magic of lime fruit, not only usable in drinks and food apparently in building aswell but I'll restrain myself from it. Amazing work, as always and much funnier then watching paint dry.

Just a tip, but it's good to dissolve your borax in car antifreeze. It carries the stuff deeper into the wood than just using water...

People used to burn Timbers before they used creosote or chemicals to treat them.

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

😂love the extra clips!

Ah! The catinspector looks much like Annika the one from the channel "de Hoeve". Renovating an old belgian farmhouse.

Off topic here. Was watching an older video with two styles of pruning trees back and am wondering if there will be an update to see whose style didn't kill the trees?😊

*Ohhhhh all them smutty jokes at the end... But the 'Cat inspector' was like "oh hurry up and finish.... but in the meantime I shall go and have a nap". PS: Kylie & Guy, another job well done.*

Project is moving forward which is great. Did the joists not require protection around the bearing so the timber is not sat in the lime?

Blessyou .😂❤

OMG a 🕳 so distracted 😅 I'm visualising a fireman's pole, a spiral slippery dip, and totally posh a tube lift 😂 👩‍🚒🧑‍🚀🏂

👌👍

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Luv the Ending .... 😅 LOL Crack on

I thought the reason why in Portugal (and Spain) they are so averse to using softwood timber construction was because it is so susceptible to being eaten by the wood boring beetles there are everywhere there?

Hi guy's u made me laugh so much at the end of the video. X

Such a lad! 😂😂😂

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💯💯 South Africa

Ola boa tarde como esta

I'm surprised you didn't save money, by not using joist hangers and 1 x timber, and drill 2 x holes from the back of the timber and using 8" screws fix from behind. Then use 4" screws in the sides diagonal for extra security. It does look like your gonna need a 4" timber where it meets the floor boards or trim them back an inch.😊 have fun😅😅😅

Watch till the bloopers, 🤣😉

Putting moisture barriors in homes, that are hundreds of years old, creates new problems. The entire building technique of the 1800's, did not water proof, but water diverted.

I used borax tabs in between New studs in Ohio GA , mountain s logs..cabin Fla and ms. Of course it will devolve But particles will still be there I believe what you're doing Is great! I know it's a thought you haven't had yet. But do you plan to leave floors and walls with tile Just asking. Thanks

Sorry if I'm repeating other comments, but fyi: - "no sentido dos ponteiros do relógio" : clockwise - "no sentido contrário dos ponteiros do relógio" : counterclockwise yes....Portuguese is very verbose 😅

floor gang

Best "That's what she said" ever. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eVL4M1ib2xE.html

😂

Okay...dying laughing at the "bloopers", outtakes, juvenile jokes when you guys are probably deliriously tired. Thanks for sharing!!!

I just love your chemistry working together. Watching you work brings such joy to my day. I can't wait to get some updates on the garden!!! Then onto booze making, love it!

A background footnote: the Portuguese once had a colony called Macao, not far from Hong Kong (and predating it by centuries). They built in the Portuguese style for the most part. BUT to build their fortress they imported Japanese architects and technicians from Kyushu and built it in perfect ‘Nihon Tokugawa’ style. This includes substantial examples of Shou Sugi Ban technique to minimise the possibility of fire damage during combat. Uh, but no, I guess proximity to the fire is the most likely cause…

I'm still laughing at those last bits...getting silly and laughing with fatique, boredom, and snafus. I so enjoy all your content!! Can't wait to see what the whole chimney removal is going to bring. Glad you're subbing that out!

Not at all boring, just absolutely class!! Love watching you both

You two are wonderfully entertaining! Thanks

Borax is also normally in the laundry area at the grocery

As usual you two work together and accomplish what you set out to do. Excellent work ! Be safe.

You are funny as hell....I laughed out loud listening to your innuendos! It is hilarious.

Hola amigos. Admiro mucho la forma en que trabajan. Muy coordinados y conformando gran equipo. Muy acertados en cuanto a la restauración. Estoy encantada de ver como han ido pacientemente solucionando muchos problemas. Un fuerte abrazo, y muchas felicitaciones. Me asombra como la dama trabaja a la par del esposo. Es única!!!

You two are the best at what you do… educate and entertain❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏

Shall we call you "Woody"?

The bolts are called “coach bolts” I just love the way you two work together and humour 👍

Keep some of the borate for the garden.. will come in handy for things like growing tomatoes.

Im portuguese and let me tell you that your reading was very good, keep going 👌🏼👌🏼

Good work, well done. Your Portuguese is almost as good as mine, and I was born there.

Great job!

your Portuguese is really good Guy

Hello from PEI Canada. I liked your teachings in this video

very cheeky you are.

Well done! Smart to attach the brackets to the new joists and slide them in. Joist hangers, brackets, etc are great. Not sure why in Europe the hangers don’t have the angled screw holes. Here the brackets are used to strengthen roofs for hurricanes and tornadoes in addition to load bearing beams, etc. at least your original beams are solid, many times I’ve opened a floor to find several adjoining joists notched for plumbing pipes installed after the original build. 😀 Eric.

HELLO KYLIE & GUY...I THOT I ALREADY SAW THIS DONE HALF A YEAR AGO...DID I DREAM IT?...ANYWAYS, IF SO, DEJA VU OR WHAT NOT...ALOT OF FIDDLING ABOUT TO GET THE RIGHT MEASUREMENTS...I'VE NEVER BEEN GOOD AT THAT SORT OF THING...BUT, INTERESTING, ALL THE SAME...LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE ON THE BATHROOM RECONSTRUCTION...ALL THE BEST...🙏;)

I thought you left RU-vid because Had any confirmation that you’ve posted any videos for ages and I see why because I’ve been unsubscribe from you great to find your channel once again. I am back in Portugal for the fourth time hopefully for a month to search out my piece of land. Wish me luck this time. Take care lovely jobs by the way

I believe your instructions were mentioning clockwise and counterclockwise....."contra" meaning counter-(clockwise)

OOO my gooooodkkkkkkkkkk

Bleeper, jeepers at the end had me in stitches 😂😂😂😂. Edit those jokes in. Area seems "well engineered" with 5 joists so close and properly secured (brackets, nails, nuts, washers, bolts, blocking, mortar, wood preservation). Excellent diy.

You guys are amazing love your videos 😊

If that space was staying there, it could be a reach in cellar, like cupboards with swing down shelves, maybe coffee table lid/door thingy...or is that too 007sh 😂🤩

Carley knows exactly what she is talking about! Go Girl!

G'day again from downunder Kylie and Guy Nice video, and I love all the innuendo. It may be the camera angle, but I'm guessing you will have to separate that acro-prop to take it out as it looks like it might not fit between those joists. Keep up the good work 👍

Hey Guy , you rock that HAT, regardless of what it’s with !!

So since there’s no demand for timber, what else would be used for floor joists? I wish my husband and I worked so well together as you two! ❤

hi guys) how is your garden doing?)) miss you doing some planting staff)) ahaha

So when you were digging around the outside for drainage , to also putting moisture barrier on the foundation to keep water from wicking through the walls 15:23

29:10 Lol "So, if you're still here, I'm quite surprised."
