[Applause]

thank you

and you're gonna notice a huge

difference we no longer have a roof I'm

so strange it's so strange

[Music]

[Applause]

it's a bit of a weird feeling doing this

to a house you almost feel like you're

you're destroying it and this looks like

a ruin at the moment

foreign

guys today is the big day you can

probably hear all the noise in the

background that is because today is the

first day of putting a new roof in the

Chalet yesterday the crew came over in

the late afternoon that they set up the

scaffolding and then they arrived early

this morning and they've been removing

all the old tiles uh but yeah it's

coming off we've got half the tiles

already removed off of the roof and yeah

it's exciting to finally see progress it

was a whole ordeal of finding a roofer

we're on our second roof for now finally

we're taking a step forward with this

house renovation because it felt like it

was paused for so long

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

okay so Sam's getting a first look at

the house without the roof

[Music]

are really different yeah yeah wait till

you go in look at this look at that what

a great space

totally open yes

I mean we're gonna have to hope that it

doesn't rain it's not meant to rain no

thankfully thankfully we're gonna throw

some Plastics over those yeah uh objects

going inside the house

look at all that light

it's uh

it's so strange it's so strange that you

get there huh yeah oh look at all the

ants crawling on the wall yeah there

were ant nests wasp nests bee hives 20

years of uh

time there was uh there were some new

occupants the creatures made a home the

creatures came and made themselves feel

very welcome in here it's just come wow

I I'm speechless honestly

it is so bright in here because we no

longer have a roof oh look at that oh my

oh my kind of kind of shocking to to see

it looking this way uh but I have to say

it looks a lot more inviting and

welcoming and homey now that there is

actually daylight pouring into the house

because I mean the the electricity isn't

connected at the moment so whenever I've

been working in here it's just been very

like dark and dungeony uh that sort of

vibe but man everything just like moved

along so quickly like honestly the the

roofers arrived yesterday they started

taking off the the old tiles and that's

basically what the first day was spent

doing and then the second day they

removed was what's called in Spanish

which you can still see a bit of it

left here like these actually it's all

over the floor let's just look down

all that right there is machimbre

so basically today they removed the

machimbre and the beams and they they

worked so fast that I'm I'm kind of in

shock I was not expecting to see uh the

house in this state when when I returned

later this afternoon like I left at noon

and I came back a few hours later and

we've got a completely new place I'm

kind of in shock uh they say we're gonna

have a new roof in within the next two

and a half weeks and

yeah I I'm still like taking it all in

I'm gonna set you down somewhere because

this camera is actually

kind of heavy

let's put you here

with a little piece of wood holding up

holding up the lens so we can see each

other but yeah I would say

um

it's a bit of a weird feeling

like doing this to a house you almost

feel like you're you're destroying it

you're massacring this I don't know

beautiful construction that was built 80

years ago by my grandfather

um

but like I I am trying to keep its

Essence like what it is at its core it's

just this this roof was in such a bad

State like originally we were just

thinking of replacing the the exterior

roof like not the ceiling but then oh

like once we started looking at it a bit

deeper and more closely we could see

that the beams were rotting in the

exterior there was just a lot of water

coming in and like a lot of damage has

been done we had to like knock back part

of the walls and

yeah it will look better I guess I have

to remind myself like

oh right right now it's it almost feels

like we're bringing it down to the Bare

Bones but it will look better and it

will feel like a home and this place

will continue its history in the family

third generation I'm hoping to improve

upon it and

yeah I don't know

I'm having a hard time speaking because

I'm still like soaking this in this

looks like a ruin at the moment

you know

like an old Jesuit ruin that you would

find in this part of the province of of

Cordoba

but yes like I said the idea isn't to

destroy it's to restore

um try to reuse as much of the materials

as we can like for example these

beautiful beams that you see up here

like this is a hardwood that was brought

over from the province of missiones

which is kind of like tropical jungle

because my grandfather used to work in

forestry

um so you can't actually get these types

of beams anymore uh so we were talking

about like the roofer and like the

construction guy like okay what what use

can we find for this so it doesn't go to

waste and they're like well this could

be used to to make like a nice outdoor

gallery like a covered patio where you

can have your morning breakfast and just

sit out there in the afternoon with a

bit of shade enjoy the weather enjoy the

scenery or we can also use part of it to

build a wooden deck on the exterior

because right now it's it's looking very

muddy like we don't even have grass so

those are some possibilities to give new

life

to these wooden beams we have here and

what else can I tell you I got stung by

a by a wasp today on my arm it was not

pleasant but there was a wasp

infestation in the roof and in the

bathroom like we still have a lot of

stuff that we need to move out of there

but I do not dare go in again

um

and yeah

let's let's show you around a bit and

then I'll keep talking

thank you

[Music]

also since we're kind of on a roll with

the dead mice in this house renovation

remember we found one in the kitchen let

me show you another if you're squeamish

look away this one still has a bit of

fur these dry poor little Mossy it's

almost he didn't make it hopefully he

lived a good life while he was in here

[Music]

all right

guys little update today is day three of

working on the roof in the Chalet I have

been sent on a mission to get some raid

some spray

um because there's just

so many different things attacking the

crew from ants to wasps the bees are

gone now

um but yeah the Wasps are really feisty

so they're trying to make some smoke uh

to shoe them out of the the ceiling

they're stuck between like the roof or

and the ceiling and they don't want to

leave and the Ants are also biting ants

who knew that ants uh could bite and

cause so much pain but indeed that is

the situation

so yeah I'm just walking over to the

market thankfully it's just a short like

three minute walk

um and buy a market I just mean like a

little tiny convenience store so

hopefully they have what we need

so the guys can keep working

so yes that is today's adventure

spray has been procured so hopefully we

can continue with the job at hand

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

good afternoon guys day three end of day

three I'm up on the scaffolding and I

just wanted to show you a little bit uh

what the roof is looking like so the

fiber cement tiles have come off and now

we just have the like the inner ceiling

I guess we'll call it in the kitchen and

the bathroom it hasn't come out of those

two areas because of the wasp and ant

infestation we will get to that in in

the coming days we will get to that

tomorrow uh but yeah I just want to turn

around the camera and show you how it's

looking

there's a chimney

we still have a few beams left that need

to be removed

you can see the the ceiling they're like

wooden planks that's the kitchen we're

looking at right now we no longer have a

roof but we will be getting a beautiful

beautiful roof in the coming weeks which

is very very exciting can't wait to see

that so here we've got some of the brick

and mortar that came off the roof

some big chunks right there

gotta pile that up somewhere

and

down the hill

we've got samolito why don't work

samuelito yeah it's looking clear yeah

remember when we couldn't even see down

here yes we had no idea it was even this

steep yeah it was just so much Bush it

just it almost looked level you know

what a difference

little by little yeah thank you for

working on that you've been focusing on

the Landscaping yeah I I I've come to

enjoy it it's like uh it's almost

meditative yes you come out here

I I I'll be honest like I I've actually

written some blog posts in my head while

working here I have plenty of time to

think and I love it cool

yeah Sam's been clearing out a part of

the lot
