Working on the chimney wouldn't impact me working on another room in the house, as it will mean me hiring someone to do it while I continue my own thing. It does however require money I don't have at this very moment, and also weather warm enough to do things like laying bricks, so it's simply not an option right now

Have you thought about making the timber room your living room AND. Dining room? And leaving the room you're living in as your bedroom? It would save you so much work and cost! Your guests could stay in the living room in the future with the pull out. It seems a waste to make one room a dining study room. Your kitchen is beautiful! Can't wait to see the rest.

My thought was the upstairs seems a good next move. It is already pretty deconstructed and if you get it tight and finished it would help the lower floor stay warm.

Fixing the fireplace is not in the way of renovating the rest of the house as I'd need to hire someone to do it and I can continue doing other things. But it does cost money which i don't have at this moment, and it's also too cold for a lot of the work they'd need to do, suck as laying bricks!

I would be tempted to renovate the guest house first so that when you move in it will be comfortable for an extended stay, or tackle your attic but I understand that may take more materials and money than you currently have. I really enjoy watching your work and ideas unfold and appreciate your realistic approach to budgeting.

I would have suggested you do the staircase and the upstairs bedroom next. Then you would have somewhere warm to live while renovating downstairs. Or make the guesthouse warmer and nice for future gests, then move into it while renovating the dining room. Whichever way you go about it, you will eventually have to move your workshop out of the house. Improving and/or extending your current shed could be an option, but that is of course better to do in summer. Good luck and keep up the good work!❤️

I am looking forward to the new build, but the guest house would be a dream to fix up.

I might’ve actually done the loft. Then you would be able to sleep in it while you work on the other two rooms. And you might have it done in time that it wouldn’t be quite so cold with the ability to live up there.

Honestly, you must be the coolest person on this planet. Doing all that hard work by yourself and doing it so well! I really admire you, because wow, you are incredible!!

Currently catching up on the series but I think the most affordable option instead of fixing the chimney would be a wood burning stove. I can’t wait to see what you do. I’m trying not to skip ahead as I’m a year behind lol

You need a new back entrance door ! I guess you have noticed it can be quite cold here in Scandinavia, so serious heating and insulation must be first priority when moving in to old houses 🥶🏠

You are becoming a talented story teller.

I like the plan to temporary move into the guest house while renovating the living room. Not only will your living room be renovated, but spending a lot of time in the quest house your mind will find creative ways to make it comfortable and cozy for you and future guests.

For guests, I'm ok that vans or tiny houses solutions are good; you can find plenty of ideas for couches with storage ( cubes underneath the couch which become seats when out and bed assembled to the bench ). It's always hard to make choices, but when it will be done I know you will go for it, as you did until now!

Ich würde auch den Dachboden als nächstes fertig machen, als Schlafzimmer. Und den Raum, in dem du im Moment all deine Maschinen und Werkzeuge hast, zuletzt .

I love seeing your design process and your ideas. I would suggest having one room that it more private: a study/bedroom, and a room that is more public: a living/dining room, with the possibility of extra sleeping room for guest.

You’ll get there eventually you’ve got this you always follow through, and if you need a break you can pack up your back pack and a few nights in the forest should do you good 👍

Do what you want, it's your home. But I would make the larger room a living room/dinning room and the smaller room a bedroom/study.I have a cabin and when l first bought it l had a living room/bedroom and it got really old fast having to put the bedding away every morning and because they were the same room it made me feel closed in . So l changed things up after that 1st year. Now l enjoy having the sleeping area away from the living area.

Hello Rosie You are an amazing carpenter!! I love your work. You should renovate your chimney now. Just a thought. Love you. Stay warm. Stay safe. God bless

I would suggest working on making an alternative dry wood storage area outside and keep your functioning bedroom during the winter months. It is worth investing the time and resources on a separate dry workshop/storage when you own an old house. Alternatively, you could store the longer pieces of wood in the attic and make the guest house into a toolshed. It is possible to work much faster if the house is empty and you don't have to keep going in circles shuffling things around in rooms you have already finished.

Excited for whatever comes next! ☺

The chimney/fireplace is obviously a problem. Would it not be better to completely remove it, and opt for a free-standing wood burner? It's what we did in one of our houses, and the result was excellent - efficient heating, and a saving on space.

Problem...that old fireplace - or tiled oven indeed, heat-storing oven- will be excellent when fixed: you have to put only once or twice a day some wood in it. Reserves heat nicely for a long time. Much more economical, and needs less work and time, and wood, for heating than some wood burner.

Could you put the lumber in the attic and store across beams? That would allow you to live in the room you are and Reno the living room

In case you don't know him, please have a look for his videos on youtube, I highly recommend them. You two must be soulmates, he travelled the world on a bike before, just like your hiking.

You should be so proud of yourself, I wish you so much happiness ❤️

If you renovate one room to be a dining/study, and the other to be the living/guest room, where will your bedroom be? Secondly... Concerning which room to do first... if you first cut all the lumber to size, maybe you could then move it to the shed, or super organize the room so you could keep all your building materials and tools in it while you renovate it? You could could move that stuff around as needed, once the floor is done you could keep it in the middle of the room while doing the walls. Time consuming to have too rearrange the room while renovating it, but the trade off would be you don't need to move out. For me, having my basic living routine kept in place would help keep me centered. Also, it will soon enough be spring and you could move some of the supplies and equipment into the guest house or the shed, and do more work outside. Thinking it would be more efficient for you to be living where your kitchen is... less darting around there and there, and you're already set up and organized to live and work out of that one room. Just my thoughts based on the info you shared. No need to justify your decision. Just ignore if it doesn't make sense to you. ♥️

Please excuse typos.

I wonder if it would be possible to avoid having to move out by moving all your stuff to one half of the room, renovating the free half, then moving everything to the finished half and renovating the other one? You could cover your things with sheets during the day to keep the dust off it and you'd be able to work in a warm room at the same time. Not sure if that would work space-wise, though. Alternatively, there's your attic, though I suppose it would make more sense to tackle that once you know what exactly has to be done with the chimney. If you're hiring someone anyway, maybe they can straighten it out and get rid of that weird angle it has right now, which would give you more space in the attic. That would definitely be a project for the future, though. I'm sure whatever you decide will work out - and whichever space you renovate, it will certainly mean you have less wood lying around in your workshop afterwards! I can't wait to see what you'll do with this beautiful house - the built-in bookcase in particular sounds amazing.
