Скачать или смотреть From Empty Walls to REAL ROOMS - What a difference a Lintel Makes

EP081 Building progress continues at The Hidden House Ireland, and in this week’s episode, the focus is on getting the door lintels in place. This is a big milestone that finally starts to bring all the internal walls together. Noel and Sid work hard to lift and level the heavy blocks, while we take a closer look at the beautiful exposed stonework, the play of natural light through tunnels and windows, and the layout of the different rooms as the build takes shape.

It’s a real turning point in the renovation, giving us the first true sense of space inside our beautiful old stone house.
