I've Wanted to Do THIS For YEARS! - Renovating a Stone House 

Kylie, whether you want to be or not, you are a HUGE inspiration to me to do my own handwork. Guy, you can stitch her story like a boss! Really enjoyed the 'one woman show', with camera swivels and all.

Guy’s giggle while Kylie gives a warning to look away. Gold!😊

I enjoy these videos because we see you actually doing the work. There are other renovation videos where the elves creep in during the night and do most of the labor, and all we see is a smiling renovator and the completed project. We can appreciate all the hard work that's involved.

You two are awesome ! Well done with the camera work and the work in the lounge, Kylie :)

You make a great team.🎉 I love it that whilst physically 're handling' the homestead, you are thinking of the folk who 'handled' it first. Loving intent built into every handful. 💝

Kylie, I’m so impressed by the work you do, all the time! But I do wonder, as it seem that the knowledge you have and the talent or way of expressing everything you work with, you must have some kind of engineering education or are you just a “superpower talented handywoman” I’m so impressed and love to watch you both work with the house and garden👏👏

This was a great video. For all of us non video creators it really shows all the time it takes to set up each shot of the job. Very informative. I know you always say it takes twice as long do to anything when you video it, but here you actually show the additional steps required. Thanks for educating us how much time and effort you expend making/doing all your projects.

Assumption is the mother of improvisation. ;-)

You are awesome Kylie whether you talk or not. I am impressed by the fact that you both are restoring this old building to its former glory. You are an inspiration to a lot of females around the world Kylie keep doing what you are doing in the way you do it. ❤

Yes!!! First! Thank you for sharing all you hard work and you wonderful humor. ❤

It was a great video, I didn't have to " look away" once 😊

Kylie can do more solo projects and record her work, because this one was flawless.. well more than good enough. It was interesting (and not in a what not to do) AND entertaining (and not in a all goes wrong kind of way). There is nothing more I could ask for!

Kylie, you don't give yourself near enough credit. My God woman you are amazing.

Yes, I have a friend who does vlogs about his EV, he doesn't usually do long ones, but he did comment when he started about how much time it takes to film and edit. I suppose it gets easier once you establish a rhythm. Some people are amazing with the amount of content they manage to produce, particularly when making exclusive Patreon content.

As Saturday is my only day off during the week, I always look forward to start my day with one of your videos. I enjoy your logical approach and the way you explain the process, because it*s very similar to the way my brain is working (if it's working). So on Saturdays I switch off my brain and enjoy yours. Greetings from good old Vienna!

Great work Kylie - thanks for making the effort to record and to share - you’re an inspiration to us that women can! Thanks for putting the video together for us Guy - we appreciate you both. Best wishes from South Africa

What about a temporary portable shed that can be shifted anywhere in future? That would give you a workspace now? No doubt you have thought of this but maybe not. Another idea is putting a temporary awning on the outside of a building to give you a shelter to work under... Martijn Doorlaand has done this on his Italian Alps restoration. His site has so many ideas worth following. Glad you are having some fun with what seems a huge challenge and very austere.

I have an RV down by the Ocean and had my first waterline pex experience this past year. In a very very small space on a 100 degree, 100 percent humidity day. The pex experience was super simple but what I had to do to get to it had me cursing like a truck driver and praying to the Gods. lol. I actually cried when it was done. 2 days of aggravation. Fix one and another one blew out. Oh the joys of DIY. Good job Kylie!!

"Lost of swearing" is usually a good indication that quality work is actually being done. As they say, "Anything worth doing, is worth doing right." and what they leave unsaid is, "Anything worth doing right, is worth swearing about."

I certainly enjoyed watching this video. No fluff, just life.

Well done Kylie, really enjoyed your take on filming. It doesn't always have to be perfect filming angles and a talk-through to get the message across to the viewer. Your D.I.Y skills alone are worth more than anything else.

Kylie, I adore the sentiment of the hemp/lime plastering connecting you to the house and meditative work. Lovely and so true of time consuming work. Its worth it and the house is appreciating the love and time you've both given it.

Hi Kylie from Adel SA; you made a fab vid, I really enjoyed it. I'm about your age, just a tad older & was brought up all over the place, at a time & in cultures which still actively discouraged & impeded girls who wanted more than to be just a fashionably-groomed baby producing mannequin, or the submissive good woman behind some good man who society deemed could have his dreams fulfilled. The inquisitive daughter of an engineer, as any maintenance/repairs were needed, I just did it - DIY. 'Just do it' meant something before giant athleisure sweatshops. Workshop practices were my opportunity to play with fun subjects & tools - things that often-bypassed girls. Solving puzzles with research, playing with maths & logic, then seeing the physical result- DIY was awesome, like life size Lego & Meccano only better, because it was useful. Yet, despite opportunities & attitudes having improved enormously for girls, I'm still astounded by the many women who still believe it's "men's work" & beyond them. I've even been warned-off by female workmates, in advance of work social functions, not to tell their husbands/partners about anything I'd built or that I did all my own DIY, home maintenance etc. They were so afraid of having to do likewise & being unable. It's so great to see you just quietly get on with it without fuss, demonstrating that all DIY really takes is the willingness to research how & the commitment to work hard until it's done. My tiniest 'improvement' suggestion? Etc isn't pronounced "icksetra" like most of this country also mispronounce; it's "ET" then "SET--er-ah" from the Latin 'et cetera', meaning "and the rest". LOL. Btw I liked the quiet bits too. Too many channels focus on distractingly overpowering music & gimmickry, repeating themselves unnecessarily for excessive amounts of time & constantly grooming while watching themselves in the viewfinder, when they should focus more on the actual quality of their content like you guys. Good concise storytelling & editing makes a better video. Great work both of you.

Kylie - what a great job and lovely to hear you do all the talking for a change. Really enjoyed watching you work (from my comfy sofa). The only thing missing was Guy saying ‘bye’ offscreen at the end like you usually do 🤣

Well done Kylie. I like you talking over the video instead of trying to speak while you are working. Hats off to you girl.

Great job kylie. Enjoyed watching all of it, even the awkward camera angle changes! Think guy did a good job of making it all come together for easy viewing. Team work!

The wall and window look awesome Kylie 👌 You and Guy really are a fantastic team 😀

Great video. I wanted to join in with the “mudding”. 🤣

Somehow I don't hear my notification bells (well, I am a little deaf, lol) and it's always a nice surprise to find you here every week. It's so much fun to watch you! You two always give me a couple of good chuckles, even though it's not always funny for you as you're in the mitz of it all.

I didn't even notice that you weren't talking until you mentioned it. No worries. Although I love how you tell us what you tell us, and I love the banter between the two of you, it's ok just to DO.

*Kia ora Kylie, 🙂 I thoroughly enjoyed your video even with all the bleeps 🙂 You did really well filming it all yourself... well done. It was perfect to watch. So please do more filming. By the way, great job getting rid of the plumbing and getting in the window frame etc etc 🙂 Guy did well editing it all too 🙂nz*

Yes ... an entertaining video! You two always make me smile AND are an inspiration. Not only for the work you are doing, but for your 'stick with it-ness' !! You managed to get out a video when obviously, it was difficult to get done. Well done!!

Great video Kylie. On Finca Life where they are restoring an oldstone building that has lime render they have said they find the hand marks where the original builders used their hands to render, so you are being very authentic using your hands.❤😊

🤔It gives me the feeling that the outer part of this small window is higher than the inner part. This way, any rain that might fall on the windowsill will run into the house, right? Keep strong 💪

Well done Kylie on all counts but certainly chapeau to Guy taking on all the filming and editing 👊 Nice plastering technique. I was waiting Guy's 'Byeee' at the end for the role reversal twist... 🤠

Am in awe of how Kylie just tackles jobs....quite inspiring to us lesser confident souls....so am now going to try hanging a couple of pictures in my lounge.....small fry I know...but from little acorns .....😂

Yes, this video was very enjoyable to watch. You did a terrific job! I look forward to how the window turns out. It is very unique.

I'm glad you did some of the projects that have been bugging you for years!!! I was knitting while i watched and i know that now it's winter you will be knitting in the long dark nights too!

Don't be so hard on yourself. it was great and really enjoyable ...although editing changes things. your personality ( both) makes me want to watch although there are plenty of others out there. FANTASTIC.

If you applied for the planning permission now in advance of your planned workshop build given the lead time and it was granted, is there a time limit imposed by which time the project must be completed? Is there a tax implication before the project is completed (or, as in France, what is called hors d'eau et hors d'air - ie rainproof and draughtproof) where no tax is imposed generally until those stages are reached.

Great job, Kylie. And so true about the content creators who film, do, and then cobble something watchable together. The only thing I'm left wondering is why Guy didn't shout "bye" at the end (off camera) like Kylie does. 😀

What a smart girl you are Kylie, all those skills in 1 video !!!

Don't be frustrated, you gave a great explenation with taking out and repluging the waterpipe. The next thing, the window spoke fot itself watching you!!

You did a great job. Problem is we are gonna need more now. ;~}

G’day, best hello ever.

We’ve followed your lead on applying our hemp + cork lime plaster by hand. Your videos made it look easy and simple and fun. Now that we’re a couple weeks into using the stuff, I’m definitely happy with the way it’s going by hand. I don’t find myself wishing for a trowel at all. The direct tactile sensation on the palms and fingers (through gloves of course) gives tons of feedback about the consistency of the mix, the key on the wall, the smoothness / levelness.

Kylie your very photogenic, smart capable, funny,& you keep guy around.keep up the good work 👍.you can do it.

During the bleeping downstairs it broke to a Levi's Jeans logo at the beginning of a commercial. For a second I thought instead of the bleeping you decided to cover the bleeping by showing a company logo. Selling one second flash add time during bleeps. I thought it was superb thinking! Alas it was only a commercial, BUT. Maybe you could actually get a company to pay you to cover bleeps with their company logo!

Thank you Kylie for creating the subject matter for this video and thank you Guy for creating the video!

Well Kylie, I would have enough cussing to make editing by anyone else another round of cussing. 😲 As for those getting their "knickers in a knot", you're doing the work. Unless they want to fly over, travel and do that work themselves, it's better for everyone to just leave things well enough alone. I cuss quite proficiently mostly because I worked on construction sites with extremely fluent males cussing. I lived through it. 😅

Kylie, you did a great job so don't put yourself down x

Where I have a tiny window like the one you framed, I will order a double glazed single piece and install it. It will not open, true, too bad, but It would do little to cool in any case. Hopefully there are other windows nearby. I have also placed a simple shutter outside the little window to close on those few snow or extreme cold days. The shutter is not important. A fixed window keeps out drafts and allows in the maximum light since it does not have framing taking up space. The frame you build is enough to set glass in, using quarter-round molding around the glass and glaze. Good luck with more of your beautiful work.

I really enjoyed watching you Kylie, a real woman doing the work and getting it done. So inspiring. I can only hope to do some of the work needed on my home; maybe with some You tube watching. Thanks.

Since the pipe in the ground is HDPE, there's got to be a transition from HDPE to PEX somewhere. Once you find that you can get rid of the whole PEX piece.

❤❤❤ Way to go! You are both awesome!

Good Job Kylie! The Window and Wall look incredible ❤🎉

Thanks for sharing another video. I felt rather serene watching it. You came across as very calm. Editing or are u really this calm?

Great video you two! Looking great what you’re both doing…keep swearing if it helps, I personally recommend it with the stuff your doing! All the very best to the both you!

Look, says the Wife, I just wanted a bloody Window. Now thanks to your goodself. Framing a New window reveal isn't Easy. Thanks. 🇮🇪🇪🇺

Well done Kylie 😊 you are a talented lady, it was nice to see Guy briefly lol I take my hat off to you both for all the work you are doing, and the traditional way you are doing things while introducing new technology into the mix as well 😊👍

Great video 👏🏼 as always.

Don’t listen to anybody else trust your instincts. Everybody has an opinion and you guys do a great job.

Kylie, great working solo on the window and wall in addition to the filming. The only part missing was having Guy yelling 'bye' from the next room.

I wish I could do half of the things you can. Great job! I love the outcuts with the struggles about filming and working at the same time. ❤

I absolutely love the dynamic between you two. You are both great at what you do, and respect one another so much. It's so inspiring watching you working on your own projects and puzzling your way through challenges. This is how to support each other and learn as you go, and i really love it. 💕👏

I thoroughly enjoyed your narration Kylie,and thought you made a great job of the filming.

Hi Kylie, last week I had to do some fixing and I remembered when Guy's sister was there and you used your hands to plaster, so I just went ahead and mixed crack filler and used my hands do finish the job and I am very proud of it. Now for a coat of sealer and then paint. Love your videos. ❤️🌹🐝

you put planning in for your out building yet? Its so therapeutic watching you make that window, you done a really excellent job. Very enjoyable to watch xX

I admire that you, Kylie, arent afraid to tackle any job, that's very admirable. Also that you are willing to do the filming while Guy gets some serious work completed, without interruption...at least as far as we could see. Nice job you two, 2 thumbs up!👍👍

that orange tree is amazing !!!

On the metal door replacement I could envisage a small centred square air window you could open + close. Just big enought so if you go out or evenings is quite secure. The actual door, I will have to wait and see what you do. Well done on this update.

The Kylie Show was awesome ♥️

Lovely to see a Kylie centric video!! Guy, you should have shouted "bye-bye" from the background! Just to make it a perfect opposite for this video! Lol!!😂🎉😊😅

Wow adding another YT life skill! I loved it

Well done, very impressed! I thought all was great, don't worry so much. Have a great weekend you both, see you next week!

Hi Kylie, well done. I have the same sort of window and found I had to also close the small gap with a window because birds came in there and made a mess on the ledge. Also you must slope the ledge away from the window or water collects against the window when it rains. Enjoy watching you guys. Keep it up!

Kylie, I admire your tenacity, so did you put together a step by step test in pressure testing procedure for the company that made the underfloor heating system? Because you rock.

Is it bad that as the timelapse is going, I'm hearing the theme music to Benny Hill in my head? :) The window frame looks great. So fun to see it all taking shape.

Creating a view to the outside. Window framing and plastering.

When I first glanced at your video, it looked like you were about to shoot someone through your window with your machine gun! Then I read the video intro! Hahaha thanks for the laff!😂

Thanks for just explaining each part of your projects Kylie … you are always there to solve a problem rather than throw in the towel … speaks volumes of your attitude to life. Your skills are just amazing…. So enjoyable to see you completing something and you’re happy with the outcome !!! So much admiration ….Durban SA🇿🇦

Kylie is so funny, she should do more of these. She inspires me! Loved it. Guy, you are brilliant editor.

You two are Rock stars. Such hard workers

Wasn’t there something about a swear jar a while ago???

Well done Kylie and Guy hats off to both of you.

You did two great jobs, Kylie. One was the actual labor and the other was your videoing the work. Well, done you!

Well done Kylie!

Great Job Well done. I understand I started a RU-vid channel to catalog and share my move and property search to Portugal and I am working on a renovation in Upstate New York in USA and I don't like to talk and work either. It is hard to work, film and create content. I see that now. All of you RU-vidrs in Portugal Inspired me to create a channel. I now see why it's like a full time job. I arrive Friday after my dads funeral on Thursday. He passed away last week which is sad. But must carry on. Looking forward to being there finally. I put an offer on a property near Fundao. Where are you....Carry on> You did an amazing job....You did just fine. IT's really time consuming. Easy to work and do our job but its a lot of work to work and video you are correct. Cheers you guys. Gina in Upstate New York Moving to Portugal. Arriving FRIDAY Yeah

O kylie , my bestie calls all small tools and cement mixers lady tools , she has her own lady hammer screwdriver set etc , you lady are a powerhouse builder and what builder doesn't swear a lot lol both you and guy are making amazing progress , make do and grow big .

Kylie, I really enjoyed watching you. Great job.

amazing work in the wall and the video. I missed Guy's "bye" in the end

Surprised you didn’t put the frame further back into the window opening so you gained a window shelf for plants, ornaments etc

Really enjoyed the video, Kylie. Would love to see more of yours in the future.

Make-Do-Grow. Every episode. Look forward to each one.

G’day! Love this video Kylie! I heartily endorse the joy principle 💥

Kylie, you rock! Doing all of that And learning new skills in filming. I live in a neighborhood where the “mature” gents offer suggestions and opinions when I am working on a project. -Never help. 🤣 I love the process, figuring things out, learning and being creative. And strong, “Missy, this heavy. How are you going to move that?” Like eating an elephant . . . bite by bite. Beautiful job on the window frame!

Love you Kylie youtuber. Guy, you had one job.

I’d put a pretty little stained glass window in that narrow little window……the outside window. it’s a great window for a little plants; think Ivy.

Good vid Kylie, well done . . . good editing Guy

Outstanding job. Looks good!!
