One think I love about Nick, is he is very knowledgeable, but if someone has a good suggestion, he’s humble enough to say “That’s a good suggestion” and implement it.

That house is breathing a sigh of relief with all that weight gone from the floors! The new joists will last a lifetime.

Whoever recommended to them to angle cut the joists, thanks for keeping the boys safe! Awesome idea!! 😊❤

The universe may have billions of planets, suns & stars, but there's only one Nick Moon 🌙

The amount of weight that was put on those floors is just ridiculous

Ryan, I really love the open staircase! Perhaps you could just install a pretty railing instead of putting a wall back in.

By using the bags and cleaning up as you go it’s definitely a case of working smarter not harder. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I liked how you explained about the bags and why you can reused them. I also liked how you explained about cutting the beam in a small angel.

Hardhats and goggles. Glad to see you all are at least wearing masks. Stay safe, love watching your renovation.

You look and sound so much more cheerful now that Nick is helping. A little while ago, you seemed so overwhelmed by the daunting and expensive task in front of you, but now - full steam ahead! Great going, and it makes life so much easier to clean up as you go.

So happy you are finally going to able to put in new floor beams. Ryan, you are so blessed to have Nick help you with your renovations. Blessings to you both. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

With all of the stair climbing, you and Nick will have buns of steel. 😄

Thank you Nick for helping Ryan I am very very fond of Ryan I am 70+ Its very very inspiring

Love the way Nick uses language.

What you guys are doing really is the proper way to go about it. As you have seen for yourselves, you really don't know what you have until its been exposed. Taking it all down and replacing will give you piece of mind that its all new, straight, and solid. Will be following this build to completion!

That staircase is so lovely. Great to see the progress you both are making ❤

I always appreciate how Ryan repeats what floor he is on for Americans! I would always forget otherwise

Love the camera shots of the ceiling coming down.....it was like I was actually standing underneath, getting covered in dust and bits of rubble! Genius!

Your hard work is paying off, especially having a helping hand with you like Nick

Hi, Ryan! Say, who is that handsome & talented man working with you? Wait, it's your long lost big brother (Uncle?) , the intrepid Nick Moon!!! Great team!!

How good to know when you have finished the renovation you will know every inch of your house ☺️

It's a very good thing that the roof was in good shape. If it had been leaking, the dirt in those floors would have turned to mud and brought down the rotten joists long ago. Good job boys! 🍻

You can almost hear the house breath a sigh of relief from the weight it was carrying. the new joists, will put J FOR JOY, WHEN THEY are renewed. BY the way Nick & Ryan just a bit of a tip excuse the pun. When u r clearing up rubble and such, I always sprinkle some water on the rubble, this keeps the dust down and binds it to gether. Saves breathing to much in. Keeeep renovating Biffo

Something about that old French green color I just love!

The house is starting to look so much better. Good job!

I absolutely love the staircase and the light! CanNOT wait to see what you guys do. ❤

Dont forget to paint the joists Just the end of the joists So that they are waterproof

Making progress wonderful. Hope you had a snack for Nick with the tea. 😊😊Take care

Fantastic progress Ryan and Nick👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You men are having fun! Great job, Nick for doing the beams and shoveling out the floors! I can't imagine how much weight each floor has to take before it really cracked or bowed! Great video Ryan!

So exciting to see you feeling positive about the renovation

Ryan the type of guy to show up to the construction site in a cable knit cardigan

Looks like you are on your way to 100K subscribers Ryan! cool to watch your journey. Awesome Nick is back!

The house is moving in the right direction. So happy you have Nick there helping. He sure is knowledgeable in so many things.

Hi Ryan and Nick- good to see you guys- Once you got all the joists replaced and you can start your new flooring. It will be so much better and safer. Not only that, he will be dirt and dust free. :D Catch you on your next video- stay safe guys !

Sledgehammer...I can't see one without immediately getting an ear worm going of Peter Gabriel's song🎼Sledgehammer. Anyone else? Thanks for the video Ryan.

How neatly. You are working, Ryan . You and Nick have done a lot together . It's looking good 👍 ❤🎉

Good to see you are learning to clear up along the way. Doing a great job…the dream team.

Like the steps exposed. Good move.

I love that the stair well is exposed, going to look great when it's all done ❤❤ much Love Guys

Ryan the Sun, & Nick the Moon & Stars! Good to see you back at it again! Guys, here’s a suggestion for bagging construction debris: Buy (2) 5-gallon buckets at the Brico. Cut the bottoms out. Slip a bottomless bucket inside a waste bag and fold the top of the bag over the bucket. You could both be shoveling debris and get done in half the time ❣️

All I could think of when Ryan dragged the door downstairs was PIVOT!!!!

Open concept with the staircase open on Street Level I think would look good

Thank you for the video. The house will be amazing when it is finished.

Lol love seeing you guys getting all dust covered.

That diagonal cut thingy was bloody clever! 😉👍🏻

Nick, if you will screw a screw in the floor joist close to the wall on the underside then you can hook your crowbar on the screw and pry the joist out by pulling the crowbar down back towards the wall. Just an idea. 😁

The more you clean it out, the more I'm loving the space. I think it's going to be really special when finished.

I love how if there's one thing we can rely on, it's NIck in the background like a Sim, just always moving around doing SOMETHING lol

I just can not get over how much dirt there is with the floors. I have done a lot of house repair and never dealt with that.

Papa Moon looks very professional!

Im like talking to the screen- wait save the door and use it!

Ryan, you have a good friend in Nick, so generous of him to give you a helping hand.

Glad to see you and Nick getting this next step taken care of. I saw you at the Moon’s farm. The Magical Moons on KZfaq. I love seeing youre progress and it will look wonderful as you finish the joists and then really start progressing.

It’s lightening up as all the old stuff comes out. Think carefully about how much walling you reinstall. Good work today!

Wow so much bigger and a better eye on what you have to do! Going to be a !it of work, but worth it. Thank you Nick Moon for helping with this when you can!

Fantastic work guys ….One step closer to the finish line ❤❤❤❤see you sooon 😊

So nice that Nick is back helping you get on with the restore! Great friend ... Wow, sure is dusty!!! lol lol Great job ... All the best!

I am still in shock at the dirt floor above ground level. It is amazing that they have stood up for as long as they have. Can’t wait to see it being out back together.

U are really moving along fast. So proud for u an 😊Mr. Moon

*Ryan, you are so extremely lucky to have Nick there with you, to help you & also advise you. 🙂 nz*

Nice to see Nick again... and you are both doing fantastic... I like that you have some help. Best of luck...

Slicing the joists at an angle - I must remember that tip. It means that the two pieces slide against each other rather than jamming against each other.

'Clean as you go' If you keep to that habit with anything you do, renovating, gardening, cooking etc. You will thank yourself in the long run. Great work both of you 💕🇦🇺

The weight on those floorboards must be a strain on the supporting timbers. Good to get rid of all that! Normal wood floors will be must less strain on the entire structure!

the curve of those stairs is beautiful. Please save it!!!!

Getting it done! Well done guys. Thanks for the updates ❤

WOW...jus...jus...WOW...👀 You did good on buying that amazing structure...💘🏘🎯

Thank you Ryan for wearing masks! ❤ 🙏 I feel so happy for you! I think Nick has a hard hat on. You need one as well 👍🏻❤️ i love watching the reno 😊

Great work….. missed tea time!

I had to laugh at myself watching your video today. When you were taken up the bricks or tiles, I saw the dust, and went into a sneezing fit. ROTFLMFAO. I love watching your videos, as well as Billy’s and Nicks

Hope you have a plan on how to get furniture and furnishings up those stairs!

I hope you keep a small vial of the dirt its as old as the house. Just a small keepsake for the home.

"A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." Colin Powell

Ryan, the canvas bags are an excellent idea, reusable for trash.

Ryan - what is the chance of you filming a short 5 minute video showing what the flat looks like once the joists are mostly removed and the rubble is gone. Give us ‘armchair architects’ a better sense of how the empty shell looks as well and where remaining things (staircase / doors / windows / etc) are. I still feel it would be awesome to incorporate an outside terrace balcony on low that roof off to the right. That would in essence give you additional square footage of usable ‘living space’ you can up your selling price of unit. Also if there is a way to have a small section off to the left where when you walk in the front door you can look right up and see the very top of the ceiling where the roof beams are… that would be absolutely amazingly bad ass cool … like a 4ft x 6 ft opening right up for floor level 1 all the way up to the tippity top with maybe a skylight put in

I was just thinking, "Wonder what bags those are?" just before you mentioned them....weird.

the wall you removed wasnt original . It looks so much brighter open plan.

Great work !!! Keep going

You guys seriously need to get helmets and safety goggles.

Just wanna say keep up the good work. You guys are doing great a little suggestion. I don't even know if you're gonna get it to read it but the staircase. I don't think you should put a wall down at the bottom. I think it looks fine and open floor plan. It'll make the room at the bottom look. Bigger don't put the ball back❤😂

Mr. Moon Rocks! He is like heaven sent....hang in there Ryan you are making change and it is looking good! 😅xB

Ryan, so happy Nick is helping you. He always has a clear vision of the task at hand. He handled those joists like a pro. Nick has incredible inner and outer strength!! So glad you blokes hooked up. You are a great combo. Chuck in Northern New England

Another step closer to constructing, rather than deconstructing. So looking forward to seeing things come together.

👏 👏 👏 You can really feel the confidence is there, Ryan. Great filming and editing, too! What a great team you are with Nick giving you sound advice. Thank you for teaching us by showing us the process.

I love that staircase!! Taking out the extra walls has really let all the natural light in as it was meant to be. What a grand undertaking 😅!

Good for you happy you have help and I know your place is gonna look so magnificent, warm, cozy, and all yours, I’m sure your parents are very proud of you and might have been an expensive lot of work, but it’s gonna be a Diamond when you finish it 💝💪

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING AND TELLING US ABOUT THE BAGS, I HAVE WONDERED ABOUT THEM. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GENTLEMEN.

So glad you had a great helper with you. Loving your videos.

Just love what you're doing Ryan/Nick, keep at it, a camel doesn't get eaten in a day!😮😂 Great suggestion to cut the joists on an angle..

Great work boys - Ryan have you though about keeping the first floor open and having your kitchen and living room on that level and take advantage of the views over the square ?!?!

Nick is a great source of information and inspiration for Ryan. They make a great pair for us to learn about this experience. Reminds me of the first episodes of the US program "This Old House" that developed out of the movement to reclaim old structures & reuse what elements were saved from other buildings.

So glad to see Ryan help Nick with web site support and Nick repaying Ryan in renovation techniques. Or vice versa. Not really sure which was first or if it even matters! Great colab of talent! Coming along very nicely

Keep going, you're doing very well! You are doing what I would do in your situation. I think you will end up with something you like and can be proud of. Cheers!

Could you take some of the better joists, have them milled, and make furniture or cabinets from them?

Things are looking much better and far more organised. The whole house looks like it's heaving a huge sigh of relief. It deserves you to bring it back to it's former glory. Cant wait to see the next instalment.

Coming along nicely. You guys work so well together.

Friend helping friend, there's nothing better then that. Good job guys.

I find those sacks tear easily. I buy plastic rubble sacks from Action. Great value. Nice for you to have Nick there giving help and motivation. I'm sure he's helping make the whole thing seem more achievable than it felt a while back!

Great, near the end of the beginning!
