Excellent progress. Yes, you need a kettle. Put together some essentials in a plastic tub. Tea, coffee, biscuits, dishwasing liquid, tea towel, cutlery, mugs, plates, toilet paper and hand soap. Throw in some cloths for washing up. Make sure you have a first aid kit on site and get some eye protection. It will make you a little more comfortable while working. Nick is a great help and fun. ❤🐨

Those items that you mentioned plus a microwave oven and industrial type vacuum cleaner were all taken to my new home when I commenced my renovation to make the house inhabitable. I remember getting all the items put aside at the old house ready to take to my new home as soon as I received the keys. Being a retired safety officer, I bought a new first aid kit to take to the house. I've never had to empty a vacuum cleaner as many times as I did during the renovation. We ended up sitting on outdoor folding chairs at our breaktimes with a sturdy box as our make-do table. Luckily the previous owner left the fridge, so we were able to keep milk and cans of soft drinks cool.

‘No biscuits, but I’ve got a toilet that flushes’! Ah, priorities Ryan, I do appreciate someone who has the right priorities! Well, lots of progress this week and a very good decision on the attic floor. That’s great space and it makes it usable for any purpose. A nice bedroom with ensuite or a studio just adds value to the house. Looking forward to seeing what you get up to next week, stay safe!

I’m 65 years old and I’ve owned my own house for almost 20 years, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched you do something - - and said to myself “ oh, so that’s how I was supposed to do it!” Keep smiling and keep up the great work !!

Simple folding table and chairs are great for construction projects. They wipe down nice. Can by stored with little space. And can be used after the project as needed.

@AnnieWarbux 6 ай бұрын

Or even folding lawn chairs. Someone must have a few to spare. And, they're a bit more comfortable than hard kitchen chairs. Easier to carry up and down the stairs, if needed. They can use a storage bin or two to keep supplies safe and clean and they'll double as side tables. When working a big project, I'm a believer in having a "Work Central" Spot. Space for my phone, coffee, pop, music/speaker, to do list, supplies...

@Xazoutje 6 ай бұрын

Just look around for some plastic garden furniture that everyone has laying around somewhere (I imagine your parents or Nan will have some as well). That will make your life easy because if they become to dirty they are easily washed. For a table if you have some planks laying around and some long nails I'm sure you and nick could make a makeshift table. And don't forget a plastic tote/box to keep your tea supplies dust free (you'll be glad that you have everything on the ready and dustfree when taking a break).

Hi Ryan! Love what all you guys are doing, renovating those beautiful old houses and buildings. I started watching your channel about a year ago and I haven't missed any since. Even tho you haven't asked (sorry, I can't help myself) and it may be too pricey, have you considered taking the little bath/laundry room with the leaky roof and adding a floor or two? Then stack your bathrooms one on top of the other. That would really open up those upper floors and make your house very spacious. I just love this stuff! Keep up the good work.
