Reviving Industrial History - The Restoration Man - S02 EP4 - Home Renovation

This turned out to be such a lovely, cozy, warm home. Love how they resisted the modern decor that so many people like. This wasn't a listed property, and yet the planning dept still has stringent guidelines. So frustrating! Thanks for the upload.

Beautiful building xx wow 😊xx

A great restoration and the best of all to me is this amazing family who have 3 very lovely children! So nice to see how willing they are to pitch in and help. Also, I think that family worked together so much and the wait etc. they seemed to adapt and accept and live in a lot of inconvenience without getting down or complaining. Beautiful living space they created and lovely home! So nice their horses can be nearby and they most likely will continue their hard work on the outside and grounds! Best to you all!!!

I’d rebuild with the reclamation and salvage route eg doors windows fittings kitchen stairs bricks etc all reclaimed and salvage in keeping with the buildings age and character on the outside and some of the inside interior, that way the planning is kept happy.

The problem with local planning authorities is they in this case have done nothing to this building for 100 Years!!
Now that someone has commited to bringing this building back into use, THEY, want to say what they want done!!
I understand the need to make sure all is safely done and an eyesore is not being errected.
But to start dictating the tile to be used Etc. REALLY!
A clear case of we want everyone to know that we are in charge, and want them to pay for the priviledge.
They would have quite happily have let that building crumble to the ground and then watch as some builder replaces it with a modern building.
Is this reasonable?

Patched up with a different colour cement pointing not good for the outside brickwork look

You have done great in making your home. Well done ✨

this is one case where i see the "house" and think that they might as well take it down and build a completely new house from the ground up

Kitchen in a garage?!🤔

The vandalism, at one end of the rule of law (no rule), and the regulations of the community -- sorted organization, the Planning Commission (onerous slog rules): Yet, they triumphed over both extremes.
Because, virtue, sacrifice, and focusing on a dream are their own reward.

I was in Nepal a few years ago, and read in a paper there that 3 cities on the Indian sub continent have the diriest air in the world from brick kilns. Most of them employ child labour. It is backwards the world is going.

Incredible! How heartless those thieves. Well, they wouldn’t be thieves otherwise, but it made me so angry! How this family has been struggling to now suffer this. Makes me think if there’s a hidden motive for these burglaries, maybe the thieves wanted the building?

Beautiful family very calm and humble. I literally feel happy after they got the permission

Beautiful family, beautiful restoration, fantastic history of making bricks! Bend, Oregon

Sounds like a bunch of controlling oligarchs! I’ve never heard such foolishness!

I can't get enough of these restoration videos with George. Also, I keep thinking how lots of these people end up being broke at the end.. 😥 Perhaps It would be possible to save a bit in unorthodox materials, at least inside. Not sure... but, some of them were at least able to save on labour. This couple was, I think, smart to move in. So sad that someone kept breaking in.

It's rather nonsense that these planing boards would rather the building fell to the ground than just approve materials to protect it and stop wasting peoples time and money.

Lovely hardworking family, beautiful home. ❤️🇬🇧
