Points to Gil for wearing work boots, gloves, dust mask, and safety goggles! Too many KZitemrs try to show off, or worry about how they look. You will have a challenge, carving useful space out of that area under the roof, but I agree that opening it up will allow you all to see the potential with fresh eyes. My gut feeling is that using the space along the front/back and center, rather than the ends with the gorgeous beams, will work best. Those little rooms made me think of a maid's garret. I'd love to see the beams stripped, and stained a natural wood color, with the metal painted black. I do love those little doors with the pointy tops. Maybe they could be used elsewhere on the property. Cheers from California. :)

You certainly don't want fibreglass bits in your lungs, they're irritating enough on the skin. When you start the rebuild, consider cork insulation. Eco, lightweight, not horrendously expensive and does a great job on both sound and temperature. 😊 Available shredded and in varying thickness boards to use underfoot, overhead, on and in walls. (Caveat: You may have to source chemically fire proofed cork which reduces the eco aspect somewhat. But hey ho, building regs! 😜)

As you strip the building out, keep copper and brass locked up inside because it could be stolen. Don't skip it or let anyone kid you it, or the calorifier, is just scrap rubbish because you can sell that to a metal recycler for very good money. Even the steel radiators can be sold for a small amount if you are going to a recycler anyway.

100%! And only ask a trusted builder where to trade it all in. I had so many tradies try to tell it wasn’t worth much when I knew it was! Copper pipes can be used for future plumbing too. Better than the new stuff! I kept all the timber from demolished framing if it wasn’t broken. Even small bits come in useful. My builder denailed and used heaps of it and it saved me so much money! Basically I keep a lot of demolition stuff until the very end. Even intact insulation can be reused in shedding and chicken coops etc. You just never know snd it saves on budget and on landfill!

Might I suggest as it may be difficult to remove any roof beams, there is 3 rooms in a row so use the middle room for raised beds same height of the cross beam with under bed storage on wheels. That gives 2 larger rooms as there won’t be a bed in either, not sure on the width of the middle but should give a sizeable bed with adequate sound proofing between for privacy

clearing the walls is the right call. i suspect the bottom chord of the trusses has been cut to make the hallway, making the truss (you call them beams) no longer working in the way they were initially designed. im sure your architect will suggest they should be removed, and a new form of roof structure installed to take the roof load. So take care when removing the walls in the other direction, leave any studs under the trusses at the hall way... and clear the floor but leave the joists for now, this may be what has taken over the role of the bottom chord (holding the walls together under the roof load), keep up the good work

Yes, those horizontal beams at the bottom of the trusses will be in tension. It looks like when the upstairs space was converted and they were cut some vertical steels were inserted to carry the tensile load to the rest of the structure - you can see one alongside the door at 0:36. There's probably also a new steel bottom truss member buried within the thickness of the floor. Years ago we looked at a converted barn for sale which had the same sort of roof trusses, only in that case they had left the beams in place, two feet above the floor, and you had to step over them to walk along the upstairs landing!

I wonder if the windows at floor level mean the floor was supposed to be higher up, so these windows were below the ceiling of the room below. Old houses often had high ceilings because of the heating with open fire. Consider throwing all the debris out of the window instead of carrying it down the stairs. Its my preferred method doing renovations.

@sw6188

I was thinking this as well. There are the two small painted-over windows found in the attic space where the ceiling fell through and they are obviously higher than the "dropped" ceiling which is not original. Then there are the three window frames which can be seen at 0:26 with lintels over them and given their position it suggests that the existing floor upstairs is also not original. If you look at some outside shots you can see these three smaller windows just above the three larger windows which I think are in the kitchen. To open them back up it would require the ceiling in the kitchen (which I don't think I have seen but is likely "dropped" as well) to be removed and also the floor above in that bedroom. Where the unpainted brick finishes on that back wall and the beige paint starts, that would have been the height of the original ceiling from downstairs.

In the design of he attic side, figure in another bathroom for the girls to share.

Appreciate the time making the video/ post but they definitely could do with being longer🙏even if they are mainly time lapse etc to begin. Can’t wait to see where the journey goes 👍

Thank you! We’re really grateful for the feedback. We’ll soon be permanently on site rather than just the odd evening and weekend so will be able to do more work and hopefully put out longer vids 🤞

Id consider dormer windows and you have the chimney I see for a small wood burner. Thats exactly like mine !

Absolutely agree, we’ve got some dormers in the plans, that can add so much room. And yes, wood burners are also in the plans 😃

He looked as though he was really enjoying what he was doing, the downside is always clearing the mess up afterwards

I really was enjoying it! When you earn a living sat at a desk it’s a real treat to do something like this….. I don’t feel the same about the clean up though.

Poor Gill I was wondering if he was battling a nail gun with all the nails. Many thanks it is always exciting to see your progress

My thought was, "Somebody was sure having fun putting nails in!" There were way more nails than needed for something that was just there to hold the plasterboard.

Thank you! 😊 There really did seem to be a lot of nails used, someone must have had a lot of fun knocking those in!

Next time you might put down some heavy duty black builders plastic. Saves you a lot of time and effort cleaning up afterwards.
