This is the start of the mammoth task of getting this building into a usable condition. New chimney, windows, sections of roof, new doors and groundworks still to be done... watch this space!

Ben, Looking forward to your videos as i like to restore & build gadgets myself. It‘s a fire extinguisher the bit at the bottom of the cone is the plunger and the jet at the top I would either chop out one side of the floor or build up the low side as it will be a constant trip hazard in a workshop when carrying larger objects. Cheers Dave

Awesome building. I just discovered your channel, love restorations of old buildings, so hooked immediately. Once all the trash was cleaned out, it is pretty good sized. Should make a very nice work shop, even a small living area above.

The lovely old thing at the end of the video is a very early fire extinguish hit the brass thing and point the other end at the fire. what a great building you have.
@robstirling317310 днів тому
The conical thing is an old 1950/1960 Pyrene, soda/acid fire extinguisher. There should be a line of rivets down the side.The instructions for use said bash the brass plunger to break the acid capsule then invert to use. we had these at my old primary school in the '50's they would have been painted red originally. A collectors item now!

I think it's amazing to see that they used the interior door "trim" to bar the door from the outside ( 0:31 )
@veronicaroach36675 днів тому
Seeing some painted walls & the fireplace & the fancy chair - it looks as tho someone was trying to make this into a home, and the outline of the building certainly looks like a cottage rather than just a utility 'building' or a shed.
@ben-kilner4 дні тому
It was used as a storage space by the neighbours for a long time and the local kids used to make dens in there. Before that it was a functioning stables and potting shed 👍 it is super damp in there - I got two lung infections just working in there, living would be mighty soggy 😅 damp proof membranes, ground works around the outside and new gutters should help 🤞🤞

Quite a job. Lots of junk inside and bushes outside. I like watching transformations and seeing all the different situations that come up during. As a Registered Nurse, it's always a bit hard to watch when folks forget about Masks or Safety Googles, etc. In old buildings like this wearing a mask is very important, especially as dust can have rodents feces, lead, and who knows what? I look forward to seeing the transition

@Laxpowertoo7 днів тому
Nice place - green with envy here. The ancient fire extinguisher is only good for an ornament now. You had to bash the end on the floor to break a vile of acid, which mixed with the water and sodium bicarbonate mix and shot the whole contents out of the pointy end. You only got one go, and they weren't very efficient.
