"Seeing how the light is different when your house doesn't have walls anymore can be very inspiring" is easily amongst my Top 5 maker quotes now. 💜

Laura the next injury will be an eye one if you keep using an abrasive cutting tool without eye / face protection. I did such things for 30 years until one day...

This is what it looks like when I am meant to be resting too. I love how Felix is becoming part of the content not just a camera man.

the chill vibe felix and laura are having going on always brings me so much joy!

Felix really needs to be recognized for their cinematography. Today really showed off how strong those skills have developed. Changing exposure when the neon was first turned on was great. The combination of wide and close-up shots during different tasks and effectively showing both the welding and the sparks inside the fire extinguisher were well done, too. It kept things interesting without becoming artsy for artsy sake. All of these things were integral to helping tell the story and keep Laura and Felix themselves highlighted. Great job, Felix!

I love the „let glue dry“-things and now you are able to make some „let knees heal“-stuff too.

The video production after Felix joined your team is so amazing! The laughter, the jokes, the teamwork... I feel like both of you are meant to be together as a team! ❤

The neon crutch is exactly the type of inspiration you'd expect from Laura -- no wonder she & Simone get along so well, they're minds work so much alike.

"saving a 100yo house" has turned into "rebuilding a 100yo house" good on you for not giving up; the content is a bonus! You said something a while back that I have stuck to my wall in my room and I think it applies here too "imagine a world where things are fixed one more time than they are broken" Hopefully this will be the last time for this house

Safety glasses... Laura... safety glasses!!! Love your videos!!!

Nothing is better for the soul than a One Day Build

Hi Laura! For the void you are planning at 4:50, you can replace the floor with a mesh. That let the light pass thru and serve you as a hammock to lay down and read a book or rest.

We've heard of making lemonade from lemons, but now I'll be using the phrase, make lamps out of crutches :)

Might be cool to use a glass floor at that part. Easier for heating the lower room as the heat won't escape to the next floor, but still an open feeling

*looking at crutch* "It looks like something a Jedi would bring to the old age home"(and I love it!). Also, Felix's low-key encouragement is a delight.

The crutch light is kind of a symbol or metaphor for your experience: taking the injury, using it as an opportunity & making it into something beautiful that continues to spread your light out into the world 💝

As a graphic Designer by education, at one point in my career I worked closely with model makers. Watching your videos now, later in my life, makes me think if I had career choices to make a 2nd time, I would have been a model maker. I love your creativity, your playfulness, and your content. Feel better soon. ❤

The cut from gate close to shop door close was pure cinematic genius ❤ This has been the most enjoyable house rescue to follow so far. Keep it up, it’s gonna be amazing when it’s done

Jürgen Schuster I think on her leg brace she needs to put LET GLUE DRY on it.

Safety glasses girl!! (Unless your game plan is to be a one eyed peg legged maker in the future)

I love that Felix is more vocal now, great interactions. 😊

Your and Felix's banter and laughter is everything 😆

Open floors are really nice! Also instead of a fence you can put a catamaran net, it makes a really great place to chill, especially for reading!

Careful with removing sections of floor - the floor joists and boards actually help tie the walls together and in some situations can be considered structural. I'm sure you know this though 🙂

Thank you so much for bringing in proffessionals when you dont know what to do. And having the ability to learn from them.

As a disabled artist I have often dreamed of a cohousing space for people with disabilities. We get each other in a way other people can’t. This would be the perfect piece of art for such a space, or any crip space in general

Love the idea of a reading room!! As the great Felix says “Nice”😂

That centimeter of movement gives a whole new meaning to: "Moving in" to the house!

I like the maker videos as much as the house ones.

Those are the most amazing crutches I have ever seen!! The fact that you thought of combining them with neon lights is part of why I watch your videos, I love how your mind works Laura

You could put in a glass floor. It would still allow lots of light to come through while giving you the feeling of it being open. Also you wouldn’t loose any floor space

"I can solve all my problems with an angle grinder" I want that on a t shirt! Also (English also rather than Deutsch Also - or maybe both) I agree with everyone else.. The rapport you and Felix have developed make your videos come more alive. They were always great but now they have something extra. I feel like I'm hanging out with friends, that's wonderful. Thank you.

Ich wünsche quasi JEDEM, dass er diesen Clip ansieht. Das ist Ermutigung, Licht und pure Energie! Mehr als ein Video. Fast schon Religion, liebe Laura Kampf. Totale Begeisterung. DANKE!

Things like, the light being different when your house doesn't have walls being inspiring, is why I always feel a little bit more happy when I see one of your videos. ♥️

Love the Mezzanine/balcony idea, that would look awesome.

Love the idea of opening the space vertically. Hope it works out!

Only thing better than Laura is Laura and Felix! Niiiice 🥰

Lauras serious face almost always means good progress with a pinch of salt. Looking forward to the neon crutches!

It's great to see Felix's personality. I like it.

I have watched you for many years. I love you. I love making things too. I don't have a shop anymore, I am now sewing.

Your laugh is infectious, Laura! The did-the-glass-break tension created by the video was perfection. Fun content and really clever production. Thank you!

"and you're not funny, .. you're fu*$#ing cool" 😆😆 Felix knows what he's talking about! Enjoyed watching you make something again...take care of that knee.😊

I love she’s worried about it being silly, but it’s a neon light crutch. 😂

Die Idee mit dem Holzdübel ist genial ... und so simpel! So hat man das gemacht, bevor der Fischer-Dübel erfunden wurde. 👍👍👍

Nice! ... and so much more!! I love, respect and admire your creativity and positive approach SO SO much, Laura! All of your videos (I've seen a lot of them and have no problem in making this absolute statement) leave all of us with something useful, and in so many ways. How to build, how to solve problems, how to get the job done, how to change gear and direction during the ride, and how to enjoy the ride, enjoy the end result, no matter it's not at all what you had in mind when you started!! All lessons we can use in our lives in so many ways; in our work life, our private life, regarding our choice of partner, how we raise our children, how we interact with our friends, etc. etc. NEVER hold on to an idea, a person or a goal after you realize it's not at all what you thought it would be, and it will not make you (or anyone else) happy. We change. And for sure our goals and our ways to get to the goals we set, change too. And it's OKAY! Mistakes are part of life. They are learning lessons. No need to repeat the same lesson over and over AFTER you've realized they are mistakes and how to avoid making the same or similar mistakes in the future. We have this life only, and it's too short not to find ways to enjoy every single day of it. If you have people around you who want you to do things that don't make you happy, that make you miserable, you need to remove these people and find people who support you and want to see you happy. And it's a lot easier to find good people when you are doing things that make you happy. Negative people inspire us to be negative. Positive, creative, loving, caring, etc. people to be positive, creative, etc. Your life, your choices. We're all given different tools to form and handle our life, and it's up to us to be creative and use these tools the best we can to become the best version of ourselves. With love and respect from Pia (60 years + a few weeks old... and damn, I wish I had taken these advice seriously 40 years, 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago, instead of always repeating: "There is lots of time, I'll do it, for sure, ..... later ...." )

I've lived most of my life with walking devices. I am so excited about the neon crutches! My wheelchair is as individualized as I could do it 🥰❤️

So cool! Remember all those movies where someone has a cane with a sword hidden in the body? Laura's cane has a light sabre! Glad you got some good shop time. Rest up and heal the knee.

Wow! By the time you're done, Liselotte is going to be a "Ship of Theseus" house! Also, I do love the classic maker videos as much as the house videos.

The “electrified crutch”. So much fun and you have an amazing creative process!

Knee-on crutches! Classic Laura! Great to see you having such a good time getting back to your roots! There will be lots of time to work on the House of Theseus.

The cruchs would be so badass mounted over a chimney like old swords !!!

Your house looks like an archeological dig site 🤠 I have great admiration for your commitment to this project and your (at least on screen) upbeat attitute about everything.

Laura, the house is in such a better place now. Most people would have just torn it down and started over. You’re giving it a rebirth!

Laura, I'm glad you found the damaged post at the best timing. The 1cm gap between the base wood is not because of the movement but the shrink of the timber, I think...

What about a glas floor for the part you‘d like to keep open. I am always a bit aback of very high open spaces due to heating. Maybe you can find some old glas sheets from a bank they are bullet proof and should be able to carry human weight as well.

Das was du da hast, wäre der Albtraum jedes Immobilienkäufers. Ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dir das auch die ein- oder andere schlaflose Nacht beschert hat. Vor allem wenn man mal im Hinterkopf behält, wie lang das schon so geht. Ich hoffe dir bzw. euch geht's psychisch soweit gut. Um so cooler find ichs, dass du trotzdem noch voller Motivation bist und immernoch lachen kannst. Weiter so 💪.

Today was good therapy for you, Laura. Being able to do what brings you joy.

As a queer person who have hyper mobile joints that makes it hurt my joints often (especially in my legs) and walking some days is limited. Seeing a super cool Neon crutch, crutches painted black with a small rainbow sticker, just felt so right, like something I’ve always needed to exist. Just seeing it made me smile big

Love the idea of the open roof in your future reading/sitting room

Eating breakfast while watching your newly posted video has become my new Sunday routine. I sure do enjoy your channel. Thank you.

really loved the back and forth with Felix here "you're not funny, you're f*cking cool"

That moment you lit up the light on the wall... love it!

I just started watching your video’s 4 days ago and i’m so impressed that i’ve binged watch for all that time. Love your work as well as your personality and especially your laugh.

I miss you doing projects at the shop also (although the house process is incredible). Would you ever want to do "instructional" episodes about how to use tools, and which tools are best for which uses? I could use your help learning to use my angle grinder, for instance. Many thanks (and happy to see you walking again)

The open space is so great. Do not add a rail. Put a net where you can lay down and chill. Still the open space, but as well a place to hangout.

Nice to see you feeling better !

I’m so happy that your better!❤

I have never had a lady crush on someone with so many professional skills in my entire life ❤ mean that with total respect. Neon?? You’re so COOL DUDE I can’t!

If you do the open second storey, make sure you put in electrical for a ceiling fan to make sure you can push all the warm air back downwards in the winter!

You are always challenging yourself. I love that about you.

you could put glass in the floor/ceiling. so you wouldnt „lose“ the space but still habe the lighting.

Lightsaber crutches! I'm here for it!

It's nice to see you excited about the house again. BUILDING TIME!

To będzie piękny dom 😀 Cieszę się i szanuję, że się nie poddałaś i nadal odbudowujesz te budynek mimo przeciwności... To będzie naprawdę piękny dom 😀

Just love seeing you happy.

Glass floor/ceiling instead of the hole and hand rail

Good to see you making something fun in the shop!

I'm a geotechnical engineer (I did a focus in engineering geology and geotechnics) working for a specialty deep foundations contractor in heavy civil. I have so little idea about foundations for houses, or even residential buildings, at all!! I'm watching this like... wait you don't have to anchor your foundations to bedrock? I've focused on areas with challenging geomorphologies (landslides, expansive soils, earthquakes, etc.), so only 1 cm of movement happening in 120 years to a house that isn't even attached to it's foundation is unheard of for me! This is really interesting to me!

It would look great to have a ‘glass floor’ where you are considering having a void with a rail. A glass floor will keep the best elements of light & space and avoid heat loss and the visual clutter of a railing.

I love the idea of the open first-floor, looking down on the living room and having a space to read and chill with lots of natural light and plants! I have to say, I was glad that it wasn't me who bought a house that had so many unpleasant surprises... But now, I'm starting to feel envious. You really can make it you own while preserving a lot of history. Upcycle in the biggest form, I love it! Vielen Dank, dass Sie dieses Abenteuer mit uns geteilt haben!!

Please! Wear eye protection! We don't want you to get hurt using that angle grinder, and it's SO easy for a shard of metal to bounce unexpectedly. Eyes are so easy to ruin 👀😲 Edited for spelling

So wonderful that you are healing and not wearing the cumbersome boot and using crutches!!! 💪💖 Pease take it easy in order to facilitate your total healing. I always look forward to seeing you working in yout workshop and new home. Happy for you that you have Felix on your team. Yours and Felix's laughter always brightens my day!!! 👏👏👏❤

der oben offene Wohnraum ist ne wunderbare Idee! Meine Eltern haben im Wohnzimmer keine Decke einziehen lassen und es geht hoch bis unters Dach, von innen mit Holz verkleidet passend zu den Balken. Das macht den Raum soo gemütlich und weitläufig und frei, ich kann es nur empfehlen!

Love your videos, I always get such a good feeling watching you fixing your house or doing things around the workshop. It inspires me to be a problem solver like you

You are amazing and I’m binge watching the whole restoration series but please, please, please, use protection glasses, make them cool, whatever it needs, but use them!

I am also building on my property and working on a home, and I 100% sympathize with not having the time to just make projects! I absolutely love the conversational tone and energy with you and Felix in the videos! You are putting a great crew together!

Hi Laura, it's good to see you recovering from your knee-problems! One thing 'bout your idea of leaving a piece of (first) floor away to leave the view open. You might reconsider because it makes heating your house so much less efficient (warmth goes up!). As an alternative, you could keep this view open with a partial glass floor....

Great to see your knee is getting better, take care of them, you only have 2.

I absolutely LOVE that you put so much work into making something well but if it doesn't look or feel right, you don't stick with it, you just go make it differently. Legend! The wall mounted light looks awesome too. Obviously haha.

Laura you are an unstoppable force, such a relief to see the house frame getting sorted and most importantly that you are still inspired by the process and have time to make cool things along the way! ❤❤❤❤

Love the minimalism of hanging. You were right to find another way to display the crutch than the petite plinth

Laura, you have the most infectious laugh and beautiful smile! Your outlook on this crazy life we all live in truly inspiring! Thanks for being awesome!

Can't wait to see all the progress with the house 🥰

Hey Laura! First off, you’re an incredible maker and hilarious!! You inspire me to wanna learn how to do more things on my own and start creating more. Thanks you!! This has probably been mentioned already, but….If you keep that opening in the flooring, you could put netting across it like a hammock. Keeps it open without having to put a railing up and makes the space functional…you can lay on it while reading. Looking forward to the next video!! -Miles

As a homeowner I love the house videos, and share your pain in the wtf surprises. I also love the build videos. Take care of that knee.

Was glad to see your video and glade your kneegetting better.missed your smile and love to hear your talking. Keep up your videos.

Bloody brilliant - thank you

I'm glad you are having some fun in the workshop and the progress on the house is encouraging! I'm also glad you are taking healing your knee seriously. As someone who wound up having to have two foot/ankle surgeries because she didn't take the first one as seriously as she should have, I can attest that it was very much unfun. Do not recommend! Mojo for great healing!

Is it weird to say that seeing you weld gives me a nostalgic feeling ♥️

Hopeing you feel better soon! God bless you and yours praying for you!
