As others have said, don't remove the paper backing on the insulation. It's surprisingly important as a vapor barrier. I had to insulate under the floorboards of our store, and accidentally put the paper on the outside rather than inside, and when I had to pull down one section, there was a literal puddle of water up inside it! You don't realize how much condensation occurs in a building unless you make a mistake like that, so keep your vapor barrier intact and facing in. :-)

Imagine in 200 years when the histroans tells the story of the castle. "There was a brother called Michael who took on the cottage and turned into what we can see today. As you can see here, the Aga stove was one of his earlier projects..." So cool! You are all part of history now, "branding your name" in the houses walls and renovations. Exciting!

Mr Petherick swings a big hammer! That's the biggest mallet I've ever seen. We put in granite steps by hand, and to give folks an idea of the weight, a foot square, six inches thick of granite weighs 100 pounds. Those are mighty heavy blocks to lift by hand! We used crowbars (6-foot breaker bars) and wedged ours into place, but it took four of us, two breaker bars, and a lot of sweat. Ours are four-foot long but not as thick as the ones these boys are moving. Respect to the whole team!

Just lovely how history can repeat itself well. Do more painting Michael! I paint or watercolor too, for over 50 years now. It makes me more tolerant, to paint a bit each day and see where it needs to go the next day......maybe in a different frame.....or frame of mind. Thanks to you all and best wishes to you and yours.

You’re right Michael that is a huge bedroom. You could have your king size bed up at the gable end and down on the other side of the pair of posts you could have a little writing / sitting area with a wardrobe . Maybe even put the desk at the edge of the stairwell and that way you wouldn’t need to put a rail around there

Greetings from Alaska. Ok, have to ask. Did you plan on your dad removing the two stones from the paving to the beat of your intro music? Lol I am truly amazed at the vitality of your father. The man in a dynamo of nonstop energy. Bless him. Love the bedroom. The space is going to be amazing and the floors when varnished will be like golden honey. I am envious. I love how simple and rustic the cottage is. I mean sure the chateau is absolutely amazing and every time we see it I am in love with the style and architecture. But there is something peaceful and homey about the gardeners cottage. Like stepping away from all the flash and lights of the modern day and traveling back into the pastoral life of an English Regency novel. (Here’s to hoping we all meet our Mr Darcy. Lol) Great vlog. You did some amazing work and I am eager to see todays presentation. As always my love to all and wish you stay safe. SH
