This is what I call a PLOT TWIST...(Rescuing a 120 year old house) 

I fully expect Laura to have made her own crutches at the end of the 4 weeks that are strictly better in any way than the existing ones.

Laura: Nothing is really messed up with the house. Narrator: There was a tremendous amount messed up with the house. 😀

I'm so emotionally invested in this whole build. This has more twists and turns than anything I've seen on T.V. in the last few years. Does this latest update mean we'll get to see a custom made scrap-metal mechanical knee soon?

Every job you take And every beam you make Every joist you break Every tool you take I'll be watching you

Learning how the 100-year-old German Fachwerk Häuser are repaired is fascinating! I love how you take whatever life gives you, even injury, and turn it into something positive and inspiring. I hope you and Liselotte always heal well!

Sitting here in Australia, surrounded by boring double brick houses, never going to need any of this this knowledge, but still learning so much and addicted to this series. Admiring the amazing craftsmanship of these historic German houses and your pure dedication to the project! Love it!

Please listen to the doctor and rest. A family member lost their leg after their knee surgery became infected and they still didn't rest.

This house is starting to become like the 'Ship of Theseus' thought experiment.

Leatherman is an awesome company. I've been carrying a Wave for almost 20 years. It recently broke so I returned it to them under their lifetime warranty. Because it was so old they didn't have my model anymore. They sent me A BRAND NEW ONE! A Wave+! It's freaking awesome!

Laura -your ability to laugh at the bumps in your road (both large and small) is such an inspiration! I wish you quick healing!

As someone who has had to use crutches for a couple different injuries, I highly recommend a good front bag to put things in while walking around. Backpacks are great for hauling lots of things around for longer times, but for having access to things quickly, an apron or front bag with pockets is wonderful. Also leg holsters, and use a bungee around the traditional forked crutches to act as a drink holder. Also, feel better soon

As someone who uses a cane for walking. Shoe Goo or Goop is really good at resurfacing the rubber tips of canes and crutches if you need a lower wearing tip. I also use grippers for picking things off the floor, so maybe you can make wooden crutches with pick up grippers so you can walk and pick up stuff.

You and your team have my full respect. I'd already have blown up the entire house. Your motivation and perseverance are outstanding.

It was so cool to see Michael Alm using your wedge method to help fix his own house. Inspiring stuff!!

I'm sorry your injury got so bad. Make sure you take care of yourself. The house is 120 years old, I'm sure it'll still be there in 4 weeks. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I love how Laura's fashion sense makes the crunches and knee support look completely intentional and part of the outfit.

Just started watching after your last collab video with Simone and I've already binged the entire house series and can't wait to see more! Wishing you a quick recovery!

I laughed uncontrollably watching you use the saw attached to the crutches. I love the positivity and humor. You need to find more ways to be Cyborg Laura.

Haus Lieselotte ist gerade einfach das beste Projekt auf RU-vid! Es ist beeindruckend, wie oft ihr Steine, die euch im Weg lagen weggeräumt habt, ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken. Vielleicht kommt es auch nur in den Videos so rüber, und in Wirklichkeit wart ihr kurz davor, das ganze Projekt abzubrechen… wie dem auch sei, ihr habt es so was von verdient, dass es vorangeht! Macht wirklich Freude dem zuzugucken. Und gute Besserung!

Oh, Laura, with all my heart I wish you speedy recovery!

Laura is such a lovely person. I really love the projects and stuff, but she is the main event, always.

The good thing about the leg situation is that it will allow you to explore a thing or two about accessibility now that you are building the house again. Get better soon!

Please be careful until u fully recover, it’s pretty serious, not a time to “be a hero”

Apart from the amazing storyline, the perfect filming and the entertainment you provide, you’re actually also doing a really important thing: preserving cultural heritage by documenting the process of German Fachwerk.

Get well soon Laura, the lime plaster/mortar also allows the wood frame to "breathe" which significantly reduces the risk of rot. Lots of old houses in the UK at one time had cement rendering applied to the outside when the old lime based render fell off due to age, this caused the frames to rot, these days when they repair these old houses they have gone back to using lime based materials, sometimes the old ways were really the best ones.

Laura! While working on our amazing tree house I tore my Achilles basically just jumping. It felt so silly and I often felt depressed but staying involved in the project was essential to my mental health. Our bodies are in a constant state of healing, be proud of your body and make sure you give it the time it needs to do its work.

Was für eine schöne Idee mit den LederMännern!

I strongly recommend a wheely chair for scooting around the shop without having to deal with your crutches. It's a nuisance. And a hood with a big front pocket is handy because you won't have your hands to carry stuff

Your videos have become must-watch events - I look forward to every release. It is nice to see the problem solving, the recognition of your limitations, and your determination to learn and grow as you work towards achieving your vision. Exemplarisch!

I love how nothing seems to be able to take away your smile. You are a true inspiration. Thank you

Laura sister-friend! we’re right there with you in spirit girl. We love you

truly the most positive person on youtube. NOTHING WILL STOP YOU

Sometimes, someone’s misfortune is someone else’s gain . In this case, everything that’s happening with this house is such a fantastic opportunity for me to learn about house building and renovation. So sorry this is happening to you Laura (especially the non related injury) and thank you for the shared knowledge. I now know to let glue dry and so much more… 😄

ohhh no! I've broken my leg before and the experience of walking around on it changed entirely changed my perspective of everything from stairs, to sidewalks, to doors, and gave me great empathy for those that aren't fully able bodied. I bet by the time you're done remodeling this house you'll be ready for a one-story building. ;) Glad you're staying upbeat and positive.

@Laura kampf definitely treat yourself to some flexyfoot ferrules for your crutches to save your wrists and shoulders and have better grip on all terrains. As a lifelong crutches user I highly recommend them to take some of the pressure off 🤗🦿 Absolutely love your sunday vlogs they are the perfect start to my week 🤗please take care and stay safe🤗

"Every day life tells us lessons to learn." I guess that's the deeper message of your project and your ups and downs. In a few years you will laugh about 2022. And much later when you're an old and wise lady sitting in your armchair you will still have a whimsical smile on your face remembering the 'good old times'.

I love that you are always so happy no matter the set back. We need more people like you in this world. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for producing such wonderful content! Hope your leg heals swiftly and the house rescue continues in the right direction.

Take the drugs and don't overdo it. Had the same type of surgery and learned the hard way that the drugs are given to you for a reason. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Laura's videos should be put on tv, showed in schools etc. She is the ultimate builder!

Infections are no joke, so glad you are on the mend. Great series I’m totally enjoying it. Nice to see you have a good rapport with Felix, he’s so cool and a fantastic maker himself. Continued success with your home.

Get well soon Laura, have a speedy recovery and no complications.

When inserting those wooden caps (bungs), you should make sure that the grain direction is aligned with the wood they're going into so that they expand in the same direction. It's likely not critical here, but it's just one less thing to go wrong.

If life gives you lemons - make lemonade. I love the positive personality.

I love watching how you challenge yourself through art and engineering and your house is the biggest version of your commitment to respecting the past but incorporating the present!!! Your love of life is infectious!!! I would love to get a leatherman but you always seem sold out?!? As a woman builder you inspire more than you can imagine ❤

Saw the crutches and thought oh mon dieu! Your sheer optimism in the face of personal setbacks is why we all love you Laura. Don’t be hard on yourself and can’t wait to see you back sorting out the house build. Lime mortar is breathable so the right choice for sure. 😊

Hello from Northern Michigan, USA. This is such a beautiful way of building!!! Thank you for preserving such awesome architectural history and doing such a beautiful job videoing and posting it onto youtube. You are a strong and independent soul like myself and feel your pain with not being able to do your job! I suffer from over 24 conditions that vary in severity and am a disabled Navy veteran and still push myself too far everyday. Just know your never wasting anyones time and everyone looks up to you and your strenth and perseverance. I will be thinking of fast healing vibes and send them your way hun! ~Hugs~

I'm glad the surgery went well and I wish you a speedy recovery. Looking forward to all your crutch customizations.

House is looking great! Sorry about the surgery. Don’t underestimate how much the anesthesia and recovery will wear you out…even with a simple procedure. Hopefully you will be back up in the ladders and such soon. The Leatherman idea is super cool.

I send you lots of healing vibes! It is humbling to learn that sometimes we have to let others take the lead. I am glad you have good help, with your house and with your knee!

Sorry about your accident and surgery. Life is full of surprises! Look after your poor leg! Take care. Rose

Wishing you a speedy recovery and you're all Fabulous.

Nothing can keep you down! I'm sorry you had the mishap, on top of dealing with all of the house challenges. However, I am grateful for all of the videos about rebuilding your house to make it your HOME!! Warmest wishes for you and your wonderful crew!!

This series has turned from a house restoration into a leg restoration xD Laura look after yourself! You're doing amazing :D

your sense of humour is both infectious and admirable. good luck with the healing process and the build. you deserve a great home.

Having used my Leatherman Wave for at least the last 10 years almost daily, I was today years old when I found out about the hidden eyelet. Thank you!

Oh Gad, I know the crutches struggle having recently broken my own foot. Everything takes soooo much longer, work and energy!!! Your positivity will make the balancing act pass quickly.

somehow I'm not surprised 🙈 you are definitely the kind of person to push through pain because you are in the middle of a project you are super passionate about. Unfortunately, some problems won't go away when ignored and get much worse- as you have discovered. Praying you heal quickly and can move past this to get stuck in with your house again in 4 weeks 😊👍

Oh dear! Your health is so important, please take care. It's good to see you are able to let go of some aspects of the renovations, taking time to heal.👍

Giving over work to people who know what they’re doing is a relief sometimes. That’s a bright side plus the house foundation seems stable and you didn’t loose your leg or life from a staphylococcus infection! So that’s a good thing. Carry-on…

Congratulations on your home you have made great progress. I hope you feel better soon and heal well. 💝🙏💝

injuries are so frustrating! wishing you a speedy recovery. that mortar job was so neat and satisfying. love the customized leatherman!

I know that the cameras catch only the best things BUT I am constantly impressed by your cheerfulness and humor through this process. you could have easily given up and NOBODY would have faulted you. BUT you have forged through every setback and if you can do that so can I! Thank you for all of the JOY and HOPE and love you bring to this world!

Buying one of those Leatherman as soon as they go up!

I'm sorry to hear about your injury. I'm glad its been taken care of. Take care of yourself. I look forward to what ever you able to produce. And, I wish you continued good luck on the project.

Get well soon!!! Keep on fighting!!!

Learning opportunities can be so devastating when they first present themselves. The growth from such opportunities are what one makes of them. Clearly, you are a woman of strength and character who is becoming wise. You are earning the right to tell the younger around you what I find so very enjoyable; “I’m older than you are; listen to your elders.” It’s a pain in the (xxx) to get there, but oh, so very satisfying!

This house is a thing of beauty. Full stop.

Thank you Laura for this video. After having a pretty terrible week myself. This reminded me that you can stay positive even if it looks pretty bad once in a while. Hope your leg heals well and soon you are back building on the house again. Keep the spirit high.

Love the crutch saw 😅, get well soon! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

Wishing you the quickest and fullest healing possible!

Self care oh its hard to do when your a go getter. Keep in mind your home is your body. I love your enthusiasm!

So many obstacles and complications and yet you continue to persevere! You are a true inspiration. Hope all heals well, physically and mentally! Can't wait to snag one of those gorgeous Leathermen to support you and the house!

You're one tough cookie! It's good to see you still laughing :) Honestly, while the injury sucks and probably makes you feel like this string of bad luck will never end - you seem to be doing well and you are right: things are moving forwards even if you can't take part in every step right now. I hope you'll recover quickly, best wishes and stay safe! 🤞🏻👍🏻

I'm sad less than two days later the Leathermans are already gone! I love this project so much

Schnelle Erholung! Liebe Grüße und Gute Besserung!

Keep at it Laura, you're doing a great job. I'm really enjoying this series and your attitude is fantastic.

I knew you were going to mod those crutches, love it!!! Next mod, a holder for a coffee cup? Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Watching you paint yo or crutches to make them more aesthetically pleasing was such a mood. 😂😂

Laura- your crew have some mad skills. It’s truly awesome to watch the old techniques and the finish the crew achieve. The mortar that was added to the sill looks like the same method use when repointing stonework. May your recovery go smoothly Laura- till next time. 🕊💕

Have you consider replacing your old leg to a new one like you did it to the house structure?

I was wondering what you would do about the gap underneath, I'm so happy my curiosity was sated this quickly! 😄 I'm also recovering from a knee injury (strain?) and being told not to do anything for 4-6 weeks is so *boring*, my biggest sympathies Laura. Glad to see that you're in good spirits and have a way to keep yourself busy, those customized Leathermans look really spiffy!

So sorry about the injury. I hope it heals up quickly.

It's been MONTHS of that house giving you issues! You can face things with all the positivity in the world, but the stress is bound to get to you. It's ok to politely confront people for misguided sales, or information, or anything, really :) It's ok to slow down and take some time off :) It's ok to shoot a video where you don't work at ALL, and you just show us yourself having a hot/cold beverage and shooting the breeze. We love YOU, not just what you do. So you do you, Lara, and take care of your body because it does EVERYTHING for you! Thousands of hugs and kisses to your doggie, he's so precious :D

Riddle: Something was damaged, instead of really fixing it, they covered it up, it got worse and the damage spread so much that it risked the stability of the whole structure, so they had to open up, pay a real professional this time to fix it and put a temporary structure while it's being fixed. This riddle has 2 answers...

Ich wünsch dir ne gute Besserung und danke für den super content 🔥🔥🔥 jetzt erstmal die tage deinen shop stalken für den leathermen

That’s RESILIENCE! Ich denke, niemand kann ein Drehbuch so abwechslungsreich machen wie diese Real-Life-Renovierung… all the best!

Just the words of well wishes from the United States I hope you’re feeling better and just glad to see you’re able to still do things and be happy

Ah finally someone that shares my feelings when it comes to "too primary" colours😬😂(and I normally absolutely love blue. This is kinda fine but something about those colours is just off-putting). I'm astounded how positive you still are😄but of course that's better than sitting bored at home and you can't do anything about it anyway. And you have help, that's great. Gute und schnelle Besserung wünsche ich dir natürlich trotzdem🤔❤️

Look on the brightside Laura... Now you can order all the boys to do the heavy lifting as you bark orders at them! Every cloud! GWS.

Oh Laura, we're sorry about your leg. Hope healing is quick!❤

Oh dear, wishing you a speedy recovery!

Laura, you are a rock star! Your positive attitude is something we all aspire to achieve! Keep up the good work and making these videos, they are very interesting!

Omg, Laura 🙈 Just to say: New fan over here, love your videos 😁 But, u crazy 🙈 (Not that I haven't taped cuts together, or tripped in my own feet) but phew, sounds like you were pretty close to a septic shock there? Take care, and make sure you'll be able to enjoy the house once it's done! (I'd seriously considering offering my help for a weekend sometime, not that I'm very good at building stuff, but still)

The best human ever. I can't believe how easy you manage any trouble that life throws at you.

Wow Laura , get well soon ❤️👍🏼🇨🇦 Your laughter and humer will help you , and us 😂 , get over it all 👏👍🏼

Good to have this content, so i don't have to make some mistakes myself 😅

OMG, what do you mean by: "they took it out" ?????

Time to open a Zunft Kölsch and watch the new Laura Video!

Hallo Laura, wünsche gute Besserung, damit Du bald den Hammer wieder schwingen kannst.
