Ancient wall - lining out

Lining out the wonky 160 year old wall, a few viewers had said they would leave this as a bare stone wall but that just isnt in keeping with the style of a Victorian town house and would look plain wrong. Now I need to find a plasterer who hasnt seen my videos! :/

I’m not sure if you read the comments but I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you making these videos. I love to watch your projects unfold and enjoy your filming style but most of all I appreciate your humour! Thank you for being one of my favourite YouTube channels!

Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is inspiring

No wives must see this man show the rest of us up.

When it said setting up the laser level I was 90% sure he was just going to hold his eye up to that wooden block.

Metalwork, carpentry, cabinetmaking, plumbing, glazing, flooring and now plastering. Yorky, you truly are a man for "All Seasons". Makes my random efforts seem very pale by comparison. Can't wait to see the finished project. Thanks for sharing.

I feel for you! Just finished doing exactly what you’re doing to my 1860’s Victorian building (now four flats), in Plymouth, which is exactly the same Victorian layout at your home. it took me two years to do the unskilled work myself. Trying to find tradesmen who care about your property the way you do was impossible, so it was a case do it yourself. So proud at the way they all turned out, watching you is bringing back the memories, taking over 40 tons of debris from the walls and from ‘under the floor boards’ including spending two Christmas alone amongst a building site, I couldn’t have been happier, so lucky to own a Victorian property the original builders were exceptional craftsmen. Thank you again for taking the time to bring us along for the ride. I have over 10, 000 photos of the entire process but not a single video …

having just removed plaster from my 122y/o house i feel this demo in my nose, eyes, ears, and every other crack and crevice on my body.

So nice to watch a video without all of the verbal blah blah blah explanations. Excellent workmanship. Love the humor as well!

[raminybhatti]

Are you going to keep / restore those lovely Victorian floor tiles in the hallway? Please say "Yes". 😁

[christopherwheeler]

That small sigh was the loudest sound I've ever heard Russ make. Brilliant workmanship, as always.

Another video that makes me realise that I've wasted my life. Fantastic effort!

pleasure to watch someone doing a proper job.
for all those comments below,

After the Chicago fire, all solid masonry buildings had to have walls that canted in slightly so that if the building caught on fire it would fall in on itself and be less likely to fall out and spread fire to neighboring buildings.

I had to laugh when I saw the blazing fire in the lounge-room, it took me a while to realise it was on a tv! That brickwork/stonework would be frightening here in New Zealand with our Earthquakes.
Always excellent videos, Yorkshire. Guaranteed entertainment, education.

A great pleasure to see this man working!

22:30 I recognize that plank, or its cousin at least! Has to be twenty, thirty years old? They're like DIY heirlooms - "that's a great plank that, perfect for putting on a ladder". Never listen to the naysayers who feel that they take up too much or room or don't get used enough... they don't see the heritage encapsulated therein. Every young 'un that learns from a handy parent inherits one or more. Sadly mine won't be coming my way as I emigrated, but it's a momentous / solemn day when they get passed on.

As mentioned elsewhere, floor tile is gorgeous - hopefully it's not too worn to be worth salvaging?

[Stubear]

Just discovered you a few days ago and I have to say the skills you possess make me realise how rubbish I am at DIY your attention to detail on the kitchen and the rear garden raised tiled platform is just perfection, it’s a joy to watch someone with your skill as it spurs me on to do my own upgrades

[davidtaylor]

I'm at least twice your age and I really want your skillset when I grow up! That was pretty educational, thanks.

That pot of dried plants on the landing window sill is a nice.touch! 👍
