Safety glasses are inexpensive. Your vision is priceless.

You know, Ryan, since all these walls are coming down, you can redesign your layout in any way you like. You don't have to stick with your original plan for rooms if you don't want to. Very freeing!

You should be wearing steel toed boots, safety glasses and A HELMET, please. PPE exists for a reason. A lot less expensive than a visit to the hospital.

Hey Ryan. I know you are new to renovation but please wear safety glasses. All it takes is one piece of that wall in the eye and you could be blind. Keep up the courage and I love watching you learn

its time to install a steel frame before the walls come tumbling down.

The exposed staircase looks fantastic as well as exposed stone walls!

I would be VERY careful - in such an old structure, removing all or most of the joists at once - does risk movement in the walls. Mentioned it several episodes back. An old house partly relies on the joists as part of its lateral integrity, not just the foundations.

As a nurse , please listen to all these people regarding safety being healthy is precious x

Please consider adding some new joists on each floor to tie the structure’s front & rear walls together, before too long. 😬 Certainly before strong windy weather.

Im absolutely on Team Gut It. I'm also on Team Dig Out The Tunnel (imagine how cool that would be as a wine alcove?), so take that as you will. Loved seeing another wall come down...dont you dare not film the cleanup, though! Love a good sweep-up, we do!

Pleased you have good neighbours. It makes the world of difference.

Ryan, glad your going on with renovations, put your hard hat and googles on Mr. Ryan, safety first.

That was a wonderful idea to become acquainted with your neighbors. They will likely be nicer about things when they know what a great guy you are.

I like the stairs open and being able to view down the stairs from the opening. It has an architectural look.

No wall should come down that easily. Glad you are removing them and put up safe walls and ceiling.

My wife loves to watch your videos. She loves your humor. You make her laugh and she believes in you that you will make a beautiful home and soon find a special someone to share it with. Friends in Texas USA

Nothing wrong with honesty. It took all your savings to buy the house so naturally the renovations must be paid for somehow!

69 year old who helped her dad with many repair/demo projects on old houses. I can smell the plaster, dust, dirt and damp mold half way around the world. (Nebraska)

This reno your doing is going to be a EPIC change when completed. There's so much you can do with planning of room layouts! Crack On!

Woohoo!!! More videos that’s fantastic. Great that your neighbor has been good with your work.

You’re doing really well Ryan! The removal of the walls help you see the potential of the rooms.

For a beginner as far as demolishing, you're doing really well. Go at your own speed, don't feel like you have to rush.

What is it about watching a man tear down a wall that is so fascinating?!!? ❤ Crack on and looking forward to seeing you more often, Ryan !!! 😘

Ryan got any floor plans for the building you can share. I am sure people would love to design your space and perhaps give you inspiration.

It would be nice to see the stairway open to see through, like it is now without the wall. It’s a nice feature. Perhaps railing or plexiglass would work in this space…. Let the light shine through….😊

Ryan, I was amazed how EASY that wall came down!

Ryan, not going to lie…. Every time I have renovated, the demo was my favourite part and I am much more aggressive than you are with my favourite sledgehammer! 😂 very useful for removing walls. With occasional weird attempt at a karate kick. I call it cheap therapy! I am extremely happy to hear that we may get more than one video per week, thank you!

You might want to wear a hard hat, mask, and gloves while renovating.Wow that wall came down so easy.Great, looking forward to more videos,and hoping you know where all the structural walls are, I’m really enjoying the process.👩🏼👍🏼👋🏼🙌🏽

You are replacing the different components of your house’ one area at a time…Great demolition videos! One step at a time. You are. moving forward.

Laughs, honesty, demolition .. what more could one ask for? It's going to be a beautiful house one day.

The open staircase looks pretty great! I hope you can leave it open. Looking forward to your extra weekly videoes!

You know, personally, I really like the rustic, exposed stone walls. I was thrilled when you started taking the coating off. I guess you had to return your Dad's rockin' drill. No pun intended. (is was a good one though) And isn't that wonderful that your new neighbours are so accommodating. So awesome! 😀

Ryan purchase a big trash bin 30 gallon size. (Sorry, I dont know the measurements in France) and some of those tip bags. You can fill up the bags and stack them until you can empty them. I know you are working within a budget, but keeping your area clean will end up less work at the end. Happy Easter to you and blessings to your project.

Well done Ryan, pleased you worked top to bottom on the wall. You even brought your ladder lol. 😊

Speaking of neighbors, did y’all investigate the shared wall? I’m nervous about the state of it after seeing the condition of all the other walls. Not sure how it works in France if shared walls need fixing but with all the new structural improvement you’ll be making it might be worth checking that wall while you’re at it. I’m enjoying watching the progress you’ve made and must say you have a much more relaxed reaction to the discoveries leading to more demolition than I could manage. In the end, you’ll have peace of mind knowing all floors and walls are solid and will last another 100 years. Crack on!

Just a little bit of overall advice. First, get all, and I mean all of the demolition done, so that you reduce the amount of dust when you're building. Second, try to finish the rooms from the top floor down. That way you are not tracking construction dust and debris on the newly remodeled floors. This is not always a workable thing, because you might need to finish certain rooms first, due to circumstances. In this case, try and leave the staircase for last. You've got great people to lean on for advice, so keep up the good work. I look forward to every episode.

I have a feeling, Ryan, that all the interior walls are a bad as the one you’re taking down here: all the more reason to buckle up and take down all of them so you can put new, proper ones in with proper structure, insulation and finishes. 🎉🎉

Hello Ryan' sweetheart I miss you and Mr Moon sitting at your Tea Corner and eating your Biscuits and croissants and drinking your lovely cup of tea or coffee 😢

The top floor should be Ryan's own domain, bed, bath and what ever else he wants in his room.

Pulling the wall down and exposing the curves of the staircase is beautiful! Have you thought of putting your own on suite another floor up so that you have privacy along with the attic and can leave that wall to the stairs open? I would consider doing the same on the living room floor, too. It sure opens up the feel of the house. Well done Ryan!

The room with the open staircase is so open . I love the look. Have you considered leaving most of it open, just closing off the lower corner where the stairs are?? You're doing a great job. I look forward to more videos ❤

PLEASE wear a mask! The stuff in the air when you’re working. For your health dear. Also a hard hat s d eye wear. ❤ we don’t want you to get injured. Thinking of you from Missouri in the USA❤😊

Where's me wall? Gotta love ya Ryan, you always find a way to make me laugh out loud after a long day at work.

The stone wall looks lovely, but also looks like it could use quite a bit of new pointing. And I'm still concerned about those stairs just hanging there in mid-air now that the wall next to them is down!

Good that you met your neighbours. Regarding the cleanup. See if you can get a section of that tube Billy used at the Convent to load his lorry with debris. It would be a lot quicker and easier to load your trailer that way instead of bagging it or using a bucket. Regarding your videos; your viewers will watch them regardless of the number per week. Crack on!

Taking down that wall really opened up that room and the steps are beautiful. If you can't keep them maybe you can copy their original design.

This place as changed, so glad we'll see more of you and the changing face of your lovely French house.❤

Just a thought: Ed (Bordeaux life) mentioned for his renovation, that he was not allowed to create more livingspace with the reconstruction. Please check before you make the design for the house and the roomplan if there is any restriction. It will cost you just a little effort and might safe you a lot of money and energy.

Just imagine… having an electronic smart tint glass to replace that wall… you want to let the light in, you put it on transparent… you want privacy, it becomes opaque…. that would be awesome! Whatever you do will be amazing. ❤

glad that wall got knocked down. It was mighty wobbly!❤

Someone had a good idea. Redesign your layout. Make your rooms bigger. Is there a way you keep at least one rock wall? I like th e rustic look.

You bring a whole new meaning to open concept😂

Life can be overwhelming at times mate! It happens to all of us! Hang in there! All the best! Thomas! P.S. you need your side kick, Nick Moon, for his encouragement and comradeship!

Smart to tear the wall down, so when you take rumple to tip, it can go. Make the mess now. Maybe a waterfall glass or stained glass wall for that wall. Keep room from getting chilled when door opens & privacy for when someone is going upstairs(lady in a dress) make the section by stairs stationary & the rest maybe a slider or folding doors.

Ryan, love the clean shave. You look so young and eager. Look forward to more videos

So strong Ryan. You must be getting muscles from all this work.

Ryan I would nail a 2 x 4 onto the side of those stairs that you exposed. Just to give them some extra support. You dont want to replace the stairs right now. Great job, day by day.

Ryan--Clean up so much easier for tip if you can borrow Billie chute you all used on the upper levels at the convent--right into the trailer…….

If you pushing it down by hand , it needs to come down, smart choice! I like demolition it’s fun for me! Hope you find some treasure (money)somewhere hidden in your home ❤

Ryan you need a Life of Ryan helmet like Billy's Crack-on helmets.

That rock wall is actually a nice addition to your plans. Get it fixed up and regrouted/poointed and use it as an accent feature. Some granite is beautiful when cleaned up and it is by the fireplace too. So many opportunities available to you. The weather here has been a bit off as well, wet snow in piles then dry up only to do it again next weekend. You have a great day

Hello Ryan from Texas! I just wanted to let you know that I’m really enjoying your home renovations. It’s fantastic to see how different your house is built compared to the ones around us. Keep up the good work!

Yes where is your mask. Ryan. Really. This is awesome, but remember safety. Love watching you

Well done, Ryan. Your momentum is great. As everyone else suggests, Hard hat, appropriate mask, steel toed boots and ear protection will keep you safe. You are cared about.

I know others have mentioned it but .... please wear a helmet and eye protection. You are in a construction zone even while doing demolishing chores. Be safe! Don't want to see someone else doing your work cause you've been laid up with major injuries. Be safe!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the opening up of the space! So much potential for decorating. And thank you for giving us the anticipation for more viewing! :) You are doing such a good job, Ryan; we are on your side cheering you on. You might please pace yourself. It sounded like you may be planning to clear the demolition debris in one day? Instead I suggest that you stuff some large trash bags and pile them up by the front door as you go. Maybe a trash haul could occur once a week or so for a while to lighten the pressure. Meanwhile, your safety and comfort would not have to be put off.

To do a cost assessment on the walls plaster straight on the stone or use studs and plaster board to make flat straight walls plus allow air to to the stone to breath. Is there a place in attic to put a small effective exhaust fan? To draw out moisture. 👍🏻👍🏻 for more videos.

I think you might be breathing in all that dust Ryan. The trouble is at your age you think you are invincible but in a few years time you may live to regret it. Quite a lot of people including me are worried about lack of mask and hard hat too! Never mind Dan the Gardener also rarely wears a mask or a hard hat. Not setting a very good example😂

I fear someone slamming a door, a car backfiring or an earthquake or loud stereo could collapse the entire structure.

You are doing great Ryan and we are here with you as you plug along with the demolition . I'm excited to see when you start putting back in something new to the rooms.

Love to your new neighbours 💐❤ Love your new plans keep Cracking on 👍🤗 Happy Easter 🤗 🐣🐣💐 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

Rig up a stand-alone hammock, and you can move right in! You know, without all the floors, it's like being in one of those ancient 'keeps.'

Looking forward to how you redesign your house. So exciting.

I think you should just reinforce the side of the staircase and leave it open to the room beside it. It really creates a nice open feeling and you can appreciate the curvature of the staircase.

Happy Easter, Ryan & followers 🕊️

Very wise to Get rid of all The old stuff☺️ A great progress!

Ryan, you're so adorable with your self criticism. My husband and I love watching you grow up. We're both very proud of you for sticking it out and learning so many things. Keep it up. Don't forget to like Ryan's video people!

I like the open staircase look. Don't know if you plan on leaving it open but it looks good.

Great demolition work lovely Ryan! ❤

Like others, I would urge you to borrow some safety equipment from Billy. The house is definitely more dangerous now, especially with all that rubble everywhere. You are right to worry about it falling on your head. I would just shovel some of it away from the edges and off the staircase, even if you can't bag it up yet. None of us wants to see you injured Ryan. Another video per week would be lovely, but only if you can manage it. Keep going, it won't be long before you can start the renovation, rather than the demolition phase. 😄

Interesting how the wall was constructed. Like others say, please wear safety equipment, and have someone with you when doing demolition.

Geez Ryan, you had my heart in my throat with this title, thought for a minute it ALL came down! You’re really going for an open look, but it’s going to help with the damp in the house. There’s not a lot left to remove, then major cleanup and on to the new stuff. And I’m so looking forward to more videos from you, just don’t get swamped! Wishing you the best!❤️❤️❤️

Glad to see u. U do need a mask an head gear. Really proud of u. Stay safe

I'm glad you had a chat with your neighbour. It works out for both of you to know where you stand. I am happy to watch a few more videos per week.

Great job Ryan. The more videos you make the more money. You will pick up more subscribers as well. The negitive ones you need to block. No one should tolerate that abuse

Enjoying the progress! Just hope none of those flying chips of brick and plaster don’t end up piercing your eye! My cousin turned on his kitchen water faucet and a small bead of glass bounced into his eye. It was in the water! We don’t usually have to use eye protection when doing the dishes, but he ended up in the local urgent clinic to have the glass removed.

Way to go you!! Great job! Wow! You’re not afraid of hard work.

I love the potential of the property. Patience, time, perseverance and cash. Manage your energy, , love your journey...Crack on.

Onwards and upwards, yay Ryan. That be great more video, s. Cheers. 😊

Happy to hear about additional videos Ryan. 👏🏻👏🏻

I for one will enjoy more than one video per week. Keep them coming.👍

Hi Ryan Now you are knocking walls down we are getting a great feel of what the house can look like. Still think uou should have kitchen and living area upstairs Bedrooms do not need views or a lot of light .Your bedroom could be the next floor spares and a utility on ground.And keep stairwell open so much airy and not so claustrophobic. Well done. You loook so well and happy too🤗

Something to think about, instead of placing the floor joists into those pockets you might want to have them run and sit into C steel beams. The beams will add greater support and won’t rot the beams again.

Ryan you are so adorable and entertaining. I get smiles and giggles watching your channel. Who knew renovation could be this much fun. 😂❤

It's fun watching because you have such a happy personality.

Are you going to power wash the stones and leave the walls that way. I think that would be a great rustic look.

Ryan - you should borrow the debris shutes that Billy used to clear the debris at the Convent . . . . . Shovel it out the window into a truck or trailer to haul it to the tip. Good luck with the cleanup - ALWAYS easier to work in a clean environment.

Love that staircase - it would be great to find a way to leave that wall down, so it can always be seen and make the floor feel more open. Love watching- you’re making great progress! 🙌🏽

OMG… can you swing the hammer softer please! And when you go up more than 2 steps on a ladder please wear a safety harness. Maybe wrap yourself in bubble wrap too

So glad you added a Patreon, just joined to help out a little bit. God bless 🇨🇦
