$1,000 Abandoned House Restoration: New Wooden Windows My Father-in-Law Handcrafted

Описание: We are continuing the journey of restoring a house we purchased for only $1,000. The original windows were over 50 years old and could no longer keep the warmth inside. To stay within our budget and preserve the authentic village aesthetic, my father-in-law, who is a professional joiner, handcrafted every single window from scratch.

This was a long and dedicated process that took months of painting multiple layers, installing hardware, and fitting glass. In this episode, we finally transport the finished windows to our village house to begin the installation.

What you will see in this video:

Structural Upgrades: Because the old walls are fragile, we installed a thick, solid oak frame in the bathroom to serve as a load-bearing support.

Brutal Demolition: We used everything from sledgehammers to chainsaws to remove the rotted 50-year-old frames.

Precision Work: Widening the window openings and leveling the new handmade frames for a perfect fit.

Night Transformation: Seeing the house finally weatherproofed and glowing with light through the new wood.

Our goal is to turn this abandoned ruin into a comfortable, self-sufficient home. Thank you for following the "Build Our Countryside" restoration project.
