Timelapse of our entire 1920’s house renovation 

I think you do yourself an injustice calling yourself a "handyman" your more like a construction superhero 😂. Looks absolutely mint 👌

I loved the help that the kitten was providing when the door was being painted!

You sir could never ever be described as a ‘handyman’. One can only sit back and admire you and your lady for the effort and workmanship you put into that tired house! It’s so beautiful and you two thoroughly deserve to spend the happiest days in your stunning home. 🙌 ❤👏👏👏

To see a skilled,true and honest builder at work gave me so much joy. The care and attention to detail is astonishing, I'm presuming your wife was assisting, what a team you two are. You reminded me of my brother,thanks for talking the time to film this video and sharing it with all of us around the world, warm regards .

I am 72 year old woman and I am exhausted watching you. LOL. Loved every minute. If only more people (including myself) and youngsters had skills like you. I'm sure we'd never be out of work. Fantastic quality work. Wonderful. I am moving onto the garden renovation, which is much more in my capabilities and talents. Thank you again.

You are indeed an incredibly talented,knowledgeable, very hardworking man. I hope your wife appreciates how blessed she is to have such a magnificent husband.

Absolutely magnificent!! If only the people who lived there in the 20's could see how beautifully you fixed it up!

Watching at 0345 as awake with nasty cough. What a great project and video. Glad to see the cats being helpful as usual!

I gutted and refurbished a 120 yr old house in Canada so it was interesting to see the differences in building code, supplies and finishes. You've done a wonderful job! Cosy, warm and very attractive

Awesome to see Mrs Handyman getting stuck right in, she is a keeper!

Your attention to detail and build quality exceeds so many of the projects you see online - very, very commendable.

Even your cats appreciate the end result! Totally magnificent 😍🐱🐱

An astonishing level of skill, utterly astonishing…👍🏻

Absolutely full of admiration. My husband doesn't know one end of a screwdriver from the other. I'm the one with the toolkit and paintbrushes. So envious. Fantastic job

Without a doubt, you are the most awesome handyman in the UK. You have exceptional skills. You know all the trades.

I'm always so happy and proud for people when they work so hard and create something so beautiful at the end! It's inspiring, great work!

Having watched every video in this series multiple times, I am so happy to see this in all its glory.

The kitty helper was nice!! Always good to have help!

I loved watching that all over again in a Time-lapse I watched it from the first time round. I am an OG to your channel. Like I’ve said before behind every man is a good woman and you’re a lovely wife deserve a bloody medal all that work she did helping out 😊😊

I’ve watched every video in this series (I’ve been a subscriber for years prior) but this is wonderful to see in all its glory. How you lived through those cold and wet winter days is simply amazing to me, true northern grit!

You've got a lovely home now Andy. Mrs Mac gave you invaluable help when you needed it and she also has a great eye for decor. Please pass that on. 👍👍

Watched these as you went through the trials and tribulations. You must both be so proud of what you achieved.

It’s nice to see somebody who is so passionate about his work that he even wipes off the excess cement from the walls under the doors on the outside ! My dad would have loved watching this - he was a stickler for doing a job ‘done right’. My father, who was a carpenter, bought our family home for £1,200 in 1950 in Droylsden (Lancashire at the time, but now part of Tameside, Greater Manchester) a year after he’d married our mother (they lived the first year with her parents in Burnage (it was posh once !) He’d actually watched this house get built in 1931, when he was 6 years old ! (My mother wanted a big family because she was an only child and my father stated he wouldn’t be able to afford that on his wage, so he followed his father’s-in-law into the Police in 1951) It was a 3 bed semi detached with garden front and rear, a long hallway leading to a tiny kitchen and a long landing with a separate toilet and bathroom which he knocked into one room. He added a hatch between the dining room and kitchen and also hand made little cupboards in the kitchen for herbs and spices, medicine and staples like rice and flour. He also built fitted bookcases either side of the window in the front lounge to exactly fit my mum’s ever-growing classic novels book collection. He built a brick porch on the front with a slated lean-to roof, and a brick wall all around the perimeter of the front of the house with big white iron gates and a coal bunker to the side. My parents brought up SEVEN children in this home and I was the last of them. For years, my mother boiled up Terry nappies in the tiny kitchen and cooked wonderful meals there. She had always hoped for a bigger kitchen and my father had plans from the ‘50’s/60’s to build an extension. There was land to the left of the house which had been a public right-of-way prior to the housing estate being built (when my parents moved in, there was a big family living in an old cottage without water and electricity in the land at the side of this way) that my father contested in court to own years later but lost to the new owner of the land where the cottage once stood (a timber merchants). After my father retired from the Police force in 1982, having done his 31 years of service, he found the time to dig the footings, build and kit out the new extension. I remember the officer coming from the council and stating that he’d never seen such neat trenches before, nor perfect curved edges to the mortar between the bricks - dad had used a length of dowelling to make sure these were all perfectly the same ! Dad passed away in 1992. I was the last to leave the family home in 2001 after my mum had passed away in 2000 - I sang ‘This House’ by Alison Moyet with tears in my eyes on the day I handed in the keys to the Estate Agent. PS - all the things that my dad had built in the house were still there when it was sold.

What a fabulous video! My favourite part was the renovating of the old door. So satisfying seeing the hardboard ripped off and the panels revealed. The doors in our old home were like that and I used to beg my dad to uncover them, but he wouldn't. I don't know what people were thinking in the 70s, doing stuff like that to beautiful panelled doors!

Love the fact you tidy up as you go along.

Beautiful detail and skills. I'm proud for you and the lady and 2 tigers. Very well done

Even speeded up you can tell what a lovely neat worker you are. My husbands the same as am i. Beautiful work thanks for the upload!

The work you did is amasing and heroic. I did once in my life a complete old house renovation and I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN! I admire a lot your hard work, your knowledge and the resuls (they are fantastic!). For the next 50 years the house is as good as new. You should have placed under the floor a plastic bag with today's newspapers - a treasure surprise for next renovators.

WOW! FANTASTIC! My Father was a carpenter and I used to watch him build houses. Never was a fascinating as this was. You have skill!

Wow, fantastic job, you are a skilled man not a handyman, and i love that you keep cleaning up as you go along so you're not trying to make progress in a big mess. Final result looks amazing. I have just painted my 1990's pine bedroom furniture the same green as your kitchen cabinets and it looks great, i love that soft green its very calming. Well done to you both and the kitties too!

Bet your next door neighbours loved you and i've never seen a handyman do such a professional job you and your Mrs are an awesome team even saying that its an understatement 😁

God Bless You Both. Love in action 🙏 My favorites: -Your Fur Babies…Tabby kittens with lovely markings. I have a long hair tabby 😻They need a rug to lay on in front of the fireplace. Purrrrfect -Both of you working together in such harmony… -Finding all the bird and hornets nests. -The green moss, yes, damp lived there. I watched the garden makeover, thrilled. May you always have a happy home sweet home. 🏡

I second Peach below - handyman indeed, wish there were more of them like you. Wonderful job well done.

Hiya 🌞, Congratulations!Considering that you call yourself a ""handyman",as my father was a civil engineer- I can say with respect that you rebuilt your dwelling from the foundations up,& with exacting care! Enjoy the fruits of your intense labour- best Regards, J.I.M.K Mrs. Brisbane, Australia. 🇦🇺 ❤ 😀 🪃

You are very skilled ...give yourself a pat on the back ,well done you FABULOUS !😊

I was here for the kitties! Gorgeous house!

Dude, I am totally impressed....beyond impressed....with what you guys have done!!!! You didn't so much as remodel as rebuild!!!! It is stunningly beautiful!

Excellent mate, been there, done that in a 1930s semi, taken years, back to shell, start again from new roof down, extension, doing garage now 👍🏻👍🏻 nearly finished, then just gardens to sort👍🏻

Superb work, you make it look so easy. The home looks extremely cosy too, nothing beats a wood fire with cats on the floor

You just got to love when you see the pets enjoying the process of seeing the house also getting renovating. 😊

Its good to look back and remember how it was, I still remember the 1st video of you going in to the house and I was thinking cant wait to see it finished. glad I had the privilege to watch the full process.

Absolutely gorgeous, I wish i had half your skills and talent. My wife can only dream!!

My husband and I used to restore, renovate and extend properties so I understand what it’s like. This was just amazing to watch, keep making more, it’s fantastic. Your skills are truly amazing. Well done, loved it. 💕

Andy, you are a King of Handyman, it's amazing what you're done in this project! Big-big congratulations!

Wow! You are fantastic with your detail and focus. BRAVO! Well done! Am subscribing. It's a pleasure to watch someone do things RIGHT rather than cheap and half assed.

You turned a sow’s ear into a silk purse! Congratulations on a job well done! What a cozy home! ❤️🌻❤️

Wow, Wow, Wow! Skills, Determination & Hard Work shown here! Amazing Results... Well Done👏💎😻

Hi, can I just say a big WOW!!!.... fantastic work and need to give credit to the one person that is so important in jobs like these ....the missus because we all know that it's the women that make a house a home 🌟🎊🥳🤩

You are a genius it was so good to watch your journey I'm 87myears young nana who when my husband and I did all renovations but didn't have the tools that are around now take care be safe look forward to your next vlog 😊😊

Wonderful. I really enjoyed this transformation. What a super-man and wonder-woman!

Wow, amazing but what a gorgeous gem of a house and space you have. Bless your patience and fortitude because I could not do that for 2 years, I'd be completely gray and my enthusiasm would wane inside of 6 months. I hope you enjoy your home for many years to come, you deserve it 💜💜

By the time I started to watch your channel, I was also planning to do a similar project. Our project is also almost done now-and watching your channel was massively helpful! I was also struggling with a contractor who kept postponing the work I have already paid for and becoming dodgy. Coincidentally, you posted a video about why/how you got rid of a builder like that and how better you feel even after losing some money. That encouraged me to take a decision right on time-otherwise, I would have been ripped off further and waiting still to get the groundwork finishes. I got rid of them at the end of November and employed a new builder on the 2nd of December. Things progressed really well. They started by completing the remaining groundwork that the previous builder failed to complete and they finished everything up to roofing (oversite, concrete flooring, concrete pads, steel beam structure with 3 columns and 2 beams, walls, 2 massive roofs, floor insulation+screed etc) before the end of January. Today the house became wind proof after the installation of doors, bifold door, skylight lantern and windows. I followed most of the things you have done, but I had to go for Wren Kitchen instead as DIY Kitchens do not offer monthly payment options. The previous contractor ended up billing me twice the price he initially quoted. I also understood that he couldn't do it all for the initially quoted price, so I paid him the money he asked for. But I realised that he took the advantage of it making my budget tight in the end.

Man, I sincerely hope that you're happy with the results because that was a lot of hard work!

I’m watching this just before bedtime and I’m exhausted to see all you’ve done. Will sleep well. 🤣 Truly an amazing work!

You should be really proud of your achievements. Well done, guys. Spacious, yet cosy, quality home.🎉

What an epic retrospective of all the effort both Mr. & Mrs. Mac have put into the renovation. Well done you two on all the hard work 👍

I have never seen anything like it. What an amazing home you’ve built.

i really appreciate the nailgun firing in time with the music

Be incredibly proud of yourself. Fantastic work has been done. Wishing you full enjoyment of life in such a beautiful home!

What a transformation. Absolutely love it. Lovely cats too

Very impressive. You guys are really hard workers. Everything looks beautiful. 😊

This is marvelous! Saw the garden renovation first and couldn't wait to see the house! Such hard work, skill, planning and persistence! You all deserve the result and more- thanks so much for sharing this. Best video I have seen on RU-vid hands-down. Subscribing and watching often now. Good day!

Wow, you took on an incredible project and knocked it out of the ball park. Lovely.

Just found this channel. Wow. I wanted a guy like you 25 years ago. Lol. Now at my age I just buy a book or google it. Now I have another idea. Thank You.

What extreme talent you and your wife have. I love everything you have done. Even the colors.

Amazing! Your exactly like my Husband, you can do everything, a man of many talents. And what an absolute grafter your partner is ❤. We've done this twice now and boy is it a roller coaster but always worth it in the end!

Having the right tools is EVERYTHING !!!! Beautiful ❤️

i don't agree with everything you've done BUT! I have a lot of respect for you that you dared to remodel the house all by yourself. Keep up the good work!

Absolutely phenomenal. The colours & tone you’ve used couldn’t be more British 🇬🇧… Give yourself a pat on the back 👍🏼

I love the little kitten sat there watching you painting. That was so very sweet.😅😅❤❤❤❤

This is one of the best videos on RU-vid and the exactness of the work and how tidy and clean the jobs were.! well done looks amazing.

I wish the podcast was still going, because the chat about this video would be great. Definitely blown up!

You are an absolute and awesome house builder, an engineer, architect, plumber, electrician, woodworker, you have it all! Congratulations. We have stuff to do in our house, but we lack the tools and the money to buy or rent them. My husband does what he can, fixes what he can, I do the gardening I can. We're Brazilian , both 75+ years of age, but we don't like to sit still. Especially my husband, he is always doing something, albeit not nearly to the extent you did. Wish we could. ❤❤❤

I consider myself a fairly proficient DIYer but I wouldn't even attempt most of this. I'm in awe at your bravery, skill, and craftsmanship 👍 Absolutely outstanding work!

Nice work. Good to see there are still craftsmen out there.

Вы настоящий профессионал! Я в восхищении!!! 👍👍👍

Is there anything you can't do? And a perfectionist to boot. Hats off to you sir .

I would pay good money for you to come and work on my daughter's house's drain problem because I know you'd do it right. What a skilled and hardworking man you are 👍🏾

Having gone through something similar 5 years ago, you have done a truly amazing job, well done.

That is one BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART! BRAVO!

You've done an incredible renovation there. Im renovating currently & know exactly the skills,time,energy & money required. You must be v proud.🤩💪😎

This is insanely beautiful! Great job!

Phenomenal! I couldn’t stop watching. You guys have serious skills!

This was a truly heroic enterprise - and the result is absolutely gorgeous.

Amazing work, but did you have to destroy the fireplace,

What a lovely accomplishment. Your craftsmanship is brilliant. Congratulations.

Love the Colour of kitchen cabinets

I'm in awe, what mastery, labour and patience. The effort taken to record the entire job, hat's off and kudos to you both. Wonderful job!

Awesome. So much work, so much to worry about. What a hero 😊

Brilliant transformation. You are a first class builder. So pleased you put in the log burner. Gorgouse ginger kittens.

Y'all, I am beyond impressed. Your DIY skills are well beyond what most of us could dream of accomplishing. Well done.

Very impressive craftsmanship. I like how you kept it classy and modern but simple at the same time. Each room has it's own character and has not been made over complicated. Excellent work 👏

Great job! Beautiful home 😀👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 love your kitty cats too 😻

Офигенно!!!! Великолепная работа🎉🎉🎉

I intend to watch all of your content.....because besides the fact you are doing an awesome job, it reminds me of several years of my life. I am 82 now and a widow but when we became empty nesters..... we made what seemed like at the time a crazy decision. Upon retiring at 63, our mission was to downsize, buy a big motor home and travel. Instead we bought a farm with a house built in 1930. So, watching you brings back so many memories. The difference is you know what you are doing and doing it well. We on the other hand went into this as DIY virgins and our retirement savings. We learned as we went and boy, did we learn. It took us 2 1/2 years and it was like childbirth........he'll while we struggled along but when it was over and the pains were gone......we had this beautiful baby and all else was forgotten. So, you are a craftsman and I am sure when all is said and done, you will be a proud papa! Good Luck and Well Done Mrs. D. Ocala, Florida

That kitchen is absolutely GORGEOUS!!❤

I enjoyed that summary , having watched all the detail ones. Thanks to both of you its been great viewing.

I cant believed how thoroughly you did it without cutting corners. I loved this renovation

Gotta love those kittens, and their innocence!

It's so refreshing to see folks do these renovations. Salvaging decisions are always the issue. "Do we keep it or toss it ?"
