I agree with white trim. It'll make the farm house look brighter from a distance. You both are doing such a fantastic job. Love watching your hard work and the wonderful progress that has come about. Thank you for sharing your lives.

@Schulzffw 2 года назад

You should go with the white windows. the contrast with the red brick will be great

@Mr1jimmer 2 года назад

One thing is for certain, if Ilia ever gets tired of his "real" job, he can always quit and work as a brick layer ... Keep Doing What Your Doing .. Because What You Are Doing Is Nothing Short Of Amazing !!

@tatiannazutania7751 2 года назад

Thank you for updating us on all these brave people. Our church gathers and sends things every week. We pray for this war to end immediately. My mother lived in a 100 plus year brick farm house growing up. All the windows were painted white, and had black shutters. This was in the 1940's and early 1850's when she lived there. The house still stands, and is still painted like that, even with new owners. It looks so regal. I love to drive by it when I'm in the area. The first owners who built it, the second family that owned it, and my mother have all passed. However, the house still stands keeping the family that occupies it now safe and warm. I feel a connection to my mother when I drive past it. To me, this is what you are doing to this old farm house. You are fixing it up for yourselves, as well as future generations, and honoring past inhabitants . You too will become a part of this house's history and legacy. It's a gift to the future. A promise of hope and happiness. God bless you and your families.

I would paint the windows white. That was the original color of the old windows. And it is a nice view in combination with the old stones!

@si_vis_amari_ama 2 года назад

That old arched upper window in the scrap wood pile, would make a nice picture frame.

@craiggillett5985 2 года назад

Good idea

@dianapodrovitz3067 2 года назад

That beautiful old arched window frame would look great with just a cleaning and then mounted on a wall. A piece of the original and fabulous as ornamentation on a brick wall.

@markuspuetz7268 2 года назад

Go for white window frames. It will give the house a nice, historic look.

Illia and Mariana that was the best video the explanations were fantastic and the you are giving the Ukraine people is so great in your video thank you from the heart with your compassion to help and get the word out thank you.I am a true fan of yours from the beginning of your videos hope you and your family are well and safe can't wait for next video never miss one.

@donnashelby1546 2 года назад

Painting the windows white would be in keeping with original look restoration. There is white opaque stain that gives you the look of paint but when they become weathered over time you do not have to scrape or sand to recoat with white opaque stain. I use this method and it is very effective. The stain is not glossy but that does not affect the wear or the durability.

@ianbird4737 2 года назад

I agree that white opaque stain is a very good option, especially on wood that has been exposed to the weather which will have opened the grain slightly so the stain can really soak into the wood. This should last for many years.

@niknoks6387 2 года назад

You are very good people. Over in the UK we can donate to the DEC (Disasters Emergency Committee) which have done.

@elspeth8876 2 года назад

Painting the windows will definitely preserve them longer than a clear or tinted coating. As far as the colour, I think white will look lovely.

@ourfloridagarden4191 2 года назад

Everything looks so good. Your home has come a long way fast. Jim and I renovated our home with only family and friends. It’s so hard to do it all yourself but very rewarding.

@Seelieness 2 года назад

I remember seeing Stasya and Anton's wedding on Twitter. Really unhappy to hear he was so badly injured. I may not have donated to your collection but I have been supporting the needs of the volunteers through other people doing similar things and sending money to World Central Kitchen who are doing an amazing job feeding people and animals. Slava Ukraini! Oh and white windows would be adorable and probably very authentic and correct for the region. Great work as always.

@mikemccollum4521 2 года назад

Almost every renovation uncovers much work not anticipated. Especially in an Old Farmhouse. You must keep a positive attitude. Y’all have maintained a very positive attitude, much better than I would have.👍👍👍👍

@merrittbaxley6032 2 года назад

As an interior/exterior/remodeling designer, I would definately go with whitewhite. It is so classic and the contrast against all the brick would look amazing. My heart and prayers go out to the people of Ukrain. I do have a friend/family member that I have not been able to get in touch with. I am concerned about her. She lives in the "country side."

@Gene1954 2 года назад

I like that in your marriage, the two of you can interject into the conversation without losing topic of conversation.

@nickbremner6274 2 года назад

I was concerned that when Ilia cut the lintel in half it would halve its strength. I think white woodwork on the windows, apart from copying the original, would brighten the outside of the building. I will now send some money to your contacts in Kharkiv, Slava Ukraini. Best wishes from Hampshire, UK. Nick

@fairandinformed6477 2 года назад

The arch of bricks over the lintel! Very clever.

When loading the wheelbarrow, most of the weight must be above the front wheel. It is then easier to lift the wheelbarrow, because the weight is on a shorter lever.

@craiggillett5985 2 года назад

I didn’t know that and I struggle carrying my garden stuff all over the place, I’ve been carefully stacking down the middle thinking it spreads the load. Best DIY tip for 2022 - from New Zealand 🇳🇿

If I still had the machines, it would be a joy to build replacements for the old ones. Vertices boards are stiles, cross are rails center vertical is mullion.grind special shaper bit to contour, mill lumber, run thru planer, than shaper, mortise and tenon. Oh yea, it's all a creative vision in my mind!

@heatherthefireislefairy5469 2 года назад

i would go with the same color you are planning to paint the door frames and shutters (if you are putting them on) It will look more cohesive and pleasing to the eyes. You are amazing in all you are doing, and how much you are helping the people back in the Ukraine. Sand the outside and let it rest, maybe oil it to bring back some life to the wood and let it soak in for awhile before you refinish them.

@robertab7341 2 года назад

You have just asked about windows - why not take a photo of the front and use one of the photo apps and try out the options? - natural, dark and then white, see what you think, and you could also see what goes with the front door colour, especially as the house has that new roof.

@jillbork2683 2 года назад

White would be beautiful and show the window design even more

@TgWags69 2 года назад

Some of the mortar seemed a bit dry. It doesn't hurt to give the old bricks a quick dunk into a bucket of water before putting them up. The water will help wick up the cream out of the mortar and help it to stick. I saw you wet down the wall which was good. Just do the same for the old bricks you put in for best adhesion. Don't go overboard though. Too wet is just as bad. Just nice and damp is best.

@margoletta5873 2 года назад

Great advise! My bricklayer friend soaks all bricks in a bucket of water, old and new. Just before laying them. Otherwise the brick dries the mortar too fast (soaks the moisture out) he says.

@katriensterckx7839 2 года назад

we have the same windows in our 80's house. It takes a lot off time each year tot sand them down and get a new finish in them. I don't know the English word for the oil/paint but it's 'sappen' in Dutch. You get the natural wood color.

You keep going and it’s a very big project to complete! I’m amazed on your commitment to completing this project alone. I have to watch your channel to see your progress! Incredible! Keep up the teamwork is outstanding. God Bless the people of Ukraine! A criminal started this war, I think Ukraine has the strength to end it. So brave, I can’t watch the news in the U.S. it makes me cry to see the evils of one man madness. He has hurt so many people.

@gloriahiley9813 2 года назад

All your hard work will be repaid in the beauty that you both will enjoy in your older years!

@nancybrady2976 2 года назад

Why don’t you save the upper part of the old window for a decorative element somewhere in the house, that is if you like . Enjoy your videos. This is really a labor of love 💕 ps: I like the white color for the trim

@1959snoopy 2 года назад

I was thinking the same thing. It's perfect the way it is with the aged, cracking paint.

@5643437 2 года назад

@beverlywatkins3146 2 года назад

@susanknight8961 2 года назад

The white would look great. Here black window frames are the big new idea. If you look on a lot of old vintage homes black was the style.

@rayschannel6729 2 года назад

The hole might have been a "weeping hole". That would indicate a moisture issue and explain the rotten wood. The arch above the lintel may have been constructed after, in order to take pressure off of the lintel. The house seems to have a lot of secondary and tertiary construction for expansions/extensions and repair from war damage. Still, I love the work you are doing and congratulate you on your progress. You guys are the hardest working couple on RU-vid, BRAVO ZULU and keep up the great work.

@paddiman772 2 года назад

Viewed this report tonight. We are very interested in the restoration. You are both so determined! Our hearts are with you and your families, and countrymen. It's hard to believe what has been happening. If I were younger, I'd gear up and help. But that's not possible anymore. So, I would like to help via one of your suggested ways. God will multiply just like the "Five Barley loaves and two fishes!"

There seems to be a problem around every turn, but then you fix it and the building becomes safer in little steps. Well done you two.

@SandrA-hr5zk 2 года назад

It was crazy to watch you tear down old walls and buildings way back in the beginning, but now you have those materials to reuse and keep the house as original as possible. It looks so much better even when mixing it with newer materials and methods. Many historical places use a secondary interior window to raise the insulation properties. They usually have a stained glass exterior. Maybe you could do it backwards and have a stained glass interior to create a double pane window.

@karenchesser7874 2 года назад

Clean off the old paint as much as possible, paint linseed oil on the wood. This acts a preservative, and the wood will take the paint better, which will help the paint last longer. I love what you guys are doing. Makes wish I could be there to help.

@joyceklebe5794 2 года назад

I would like the windows white. It would brighten up the exterior.

@Alexandra-dh9kl 2 года назад

I would do just the opposite, as I find the contrast to white to be too strong. My window frames would be anthracite :-)

I’m so proud of how everyone has come together to support the Ukrainians. Most of all the Ukrainians themselves have got balls of steel and the commitment, strength and courage they have shown in this horrible war is inspirational! I think that’s why so many people want to help in anyway they can. They will be triumphant in This war!

@tomaszs2426 2 года назад

hello, i recommend you to buy a large construction syringe, the perfect tool for pressing mortar into tight spaces, such as framing lintels or steel door frames (in Germany I saw how they use it for fireproof doors so I did it in my house) in your case it would be perfect for refilling the mortar when replacing brick cavities, an hour of work with a trowel could be done in 15 minutes, including refilling the syringe.

@deannawilson8023 2 года назад

Thank you for helping the Ukrainian people. I would definitely paint the outside window trim white and natural on the inside!

@louisenoel5896 2 года назад

Before painting them white think that in a few years you will have to paint them again: I know you are not afraid of hard work, but I would try to find a way to have less maintenance. Also, I would keep one of the original window frame: it could be use as a decorative element inside the house, maybe in what is now the barn attached to the house which you want to repair later and use as a living room. It would be a nice souvenir of what were the original window. If you do that, I would suggest choosing it now and protecting it from the elements. I like looking at your videos and I love the views of the large skies in this flat country!

@bumblenthruit6972 2 года назад

My hunch is that if you rip cut the lintel in half and then orient the cross section of the lintel vertically then the strength of the resulting lintel may be half the strength of the original. If it is oriented horizontally, as you have done, then the strength will be much less than half the original. My guess is that the lintel you have installed is much inferior to the one you removed. You may wish to consult an engineer or the lintel manufacturer to determine whether what you have done is adequate. I greatly enjoy and appreciate your channel, all that you are doing, and the two of you as individuals and as a couple. Best wishes.
