Messieurs un grand merci pour votre travail 😅😅. Ce bâtiment devait être une splendeur j espère que nous verrons le résultat de cette bâtisse de la dynastie qing 👏🙏🙏
Well all I can say he must have a back made of steel I love those big pots over here in the U.K they aren't cheap small one r about 40£ that's the good one's but he's got his work cut out for him doing that place I bet it will look stunning when it's finished. X
It will be a hard work and take quite a long period of time to renovate. All the trash to clean up.. All the best and take care of yourself. But it will be a very satisfying project. Hoping to see the end result as we see the progress, I am sure it will need more than one or two videos. Qc Ca
I commend you and your wife for the "massive cleanup process on your journey prior to starting the renovation." Viewing from the Catskill Mountains upstate New York USA🌹
I think everyone in the town used this house to throw away their junk! It's so important to rescue ancient houses like this. I am glad they are doing it. However, a good push broom, a large dustpan, and a small cart would have saved them much work and many steps.
OMG! Such a mess and so much dust to deal with! A huge work to first clean inside and outside before to start the renovation... It's a beautiful ancient house...to restore it keeping the style Will be a great challenge and a lot of work too! I long to watch the final result, I'm pretty sure that the team will make miracles! You all have tons of courage !
This is an awesome renovation. Sure hope we get to see the rest of it as it all progresses. A huge undertaking. But an exciting project from beginning to end.
This is a real jewel of a house/castle. I got goosebumps watching you first walk through it. The clearing of this place has been fascinating. I look forward to seeing it scrubbed down inside and out and livable spaces again. Beautiful/happy dog.😊
I don’t think the last owners ever threw out anything!! I’ve never seen such a mess! I hope we get to see the continuation of the work. I also see them holding on to stuff that would have gone into a burn pile at my house!! So the cycle continues.
A historic property like that in America. Would have to be restored in a particular way. And you would have to present your plans and then get approvals on all of it. Then get the permits to do the work. Then comes inspections of the work. Especially any historic buildings. And some you would have to have an archeologist go over the property. For relics or graves.
you could really improve your channel by adding english subtitles as well as closed captioning, also showing the entire job not just part of it. a nice walk threw of completed project would be great as well.
This will be taxing on you physically, but I bet the rewards of restoration will be worth the effort. Be cautious before you toss things could be a goldmine of stuff there.
He should have spent the money for a leaf blower to blow out all that dirt and a pressure washer to clean everything and he would be done already. It is pitiful watching him work with that tiny broom. Then he pays money for brick and an excavator so its not like he doesn't have any money. Worst thing is he didn't turn his phone sideways when filming. heh.
Note the age of the house, 1,000 years. Adobe is used. How do you think adobe would hold up under a pressure washer? The dirt isn't just dirt, it's clay that has been wet, then it hardens almost solid. Air would just redistribute the dust from the top layer. When you have lots of time, but not much money, you work at it. After you watch a few more of these you will understand. Of course, you and I are both sitting on our fat asses watching someone work for something precious. If we were half as industrious as Asian people, we would be in better shape and be re-cycling our old structures instead of knocking them down and constantly building new square boxes at higher and higher prices.
In some other videos I see the people hauling away the stone like most people would in the U.S. just because it is 'in the way.' But this person has the brains to set aside all the usable old building stone, brick, and tile for later repair and rebuilding. I was wondering if he was going to use any traditional building techniques, and then saw him restore that hypocaustic sleeping shelf (beginning @30:55) with the original stones and new clay plaster. My heart sank a little when I saw the truck of new bricks show up, but then I saw that they were using them to make a new bathroom where none had been before. (Also saw a couple of old squat toilets in a trash pile (@24:56, where the dog is sniffing one).) Hopefully this channel posts an update to this project and others. This place could be a crown jewel for the town as a living history site, or a wonderful residence for generations of family. As far back as the mid-1940s -- prior to the Revolution -- there was a concern about traditional Chinese architecture disappearing and being replaced by cheap, bad Western-style building. It's wonderful to see someone appreciate and be respectful of something so old, and that it survived the Cultural Revolution. I wish that I could read Chinese. I would love to know what the banners, notebooks, and occasional subtitles say!
