Laura, you should create a time capsule containing the history of your house (photographs, documents, etc.), and then seal it up inside of a wall.

@mumbling9to5 Год назад

Such a cool idea !

@CodeProfessor Год назад

This is a great idea! She could also add some portions of her videos either printed screen captures or perhaps an archival grade DVD. I think they can last close to 100 years.

@jamesmurphy2416 Год назад

agreed

@kanedaku Год назад

Excellent idea, and last thing to go in is a DVD/bluray with RU-vid uploads plus any other video of the build. Definitely time capsule opportunity!

@jojocrater1 Год назад

It's hilarious how things have changed from way back in the beginning. When you first got the house it was, 'is it ok to take this floor tile up? Should we take the ceiling down?' Now it's "I see a wall, I'm knockng it down! Yes the whole floor is vibrating, we should look at that, but not today!" I love it 😁

I hadn't realised just how much I was invested in the house repair until I was watching Laura do a cool project and found myself mentally yelling at the computer for her to stop doing it and go back to work on the house.😂 I totally understand the need for a mental break, but I cannot help my reaction. Super cool DJ stand, BTW.

@cooperised Год назад

@@peterhodgkinson2782 Just realised I misread your comment! There can't be many houses of that age that have escaped the various "solutions" that have been commonplace since then '60s - from cement render and tanking plaster to cement pointing and chimneys full of rubble - or attempts at cosmetic modernisation like the replacement of old floorboards, removal of fireplaces, replacement of doors, and so on.

@debzeb6899 Год назад

I hear you, my house in New Zealand was built in 1895 but in 1960, the decade that taste took a break from, someone came and thought heyyyy why don’t I pull out every beautiful feature and replace with meh. And while I’m removing stuff I’ll make it even less weatherproof! Louvre windows pointing toward Antarctica went in! Three sets! No pile replacement in an earthquake prone site. Those old rotting piles were fine! I could go on.

(I’m now in my late 50’s, not doing much welding or build-work anymore. Now I garden and do “brightwork” which in the wooden boat world is all the finishing stuff like sanding, painting, varnishing etc. but that’s what I call it on land as well). This is by far my favorite project to vicariously watch on yt. And seeing younger wimmens doing what I often times was doing as the lone female is so greatly heartening. Ciao!

@pascal6871 Год назад

You definitely need ventilation and cooling for that DJ box. All those power outlets will run very hot and pop breakers or even cause a fire inside the box

@ElukeNL Год назад

Power outlets will not run hot at all, only maybe very slightly warm if you draw a lot of current. If they run hot (melting/burning hot) there is a bad connection (half loose, or too thin wire). Maybe the equipment generates some heat (but that's on top in the open). I'm more worried about insulation. (Either double insulate / sleeve the cables, or ground the metal box. Or even both. One of those wires even has a (tiny tiny tiny) hole punched in its insulation by the demonstration of the cool light fitting. Those wago 221 clamps are nice but should still be in junction boxes, not out in the open. Sawing the strain relief off also makes me nervous. But I get it is for a test. Coincidentally a while back I had the opposite problem of needing angled connectors and only having straight.) That maybe sounds a lot more negative then I want to put it. I watch this channel partly for Laura's inspiring positive attitude. (And partly for the awesome projects. And cool maker tricks. Inspirational in many ways. Also just the sheer joy in making nice things and the joyful perseverance in rebuilding the house.)

@karlminehart6246 Год назад

Removing the ceiling below the roof gives you the ability to insulate there which will cut down on heating cost plus it won't get as hot as it the summer. I really enjoy watching and listening to you in English with enough German to brush up on my amazingly poor German language skills, three years of German in school and I can barely remember much (it was over 40 years ago.)

@rvwall-e Год назад

I have a 128yr old house. The only thing we found under the house was an old jimmy bar, under the lounge room floor, we did find lots of treasures in the garden. Cement kookaburra garden ornaments and more. The oldest treasure was a small, round oil can with a brass nipple and old tools, 3 three sided, cast iron shoe horns for repairing shoes. The house had some pretty unique old furniture, ceramic clocks, vases and ceramic electric kettles. An old radio gram/record player which worked really well.

@macscruff1500 Год назад

Hi Laura, your attitude during the whole process is truly admirable, keep up the great work. However, if a wall isn't fully loadbearing, it could still function partly as load bearing , keeping the floor from hanging through for example. Be weary about this and consult a specialist or engineer to be sure. But keep it up, love the restoration with respect for traditional materials.

And they are digging and ploughing and putting sooo much work into finding the treasure, but cannot find anything.

@noelhutchins7366 Год назад

I'd make a clay-brick-oven outside with a ceramics-kiln dome on the back, and pizza oven with fire-box on the front, add a stately chimney: all the lumber you have there would be necessary to vitrify the bricks into a heated mass, and readied for back-yard use; firing inside and out, sustained overnight, takes a lot of wood-fuel.
