Extreme House Renovation on a Budget: Rats in the Attic, Joist Repairs & DIY Wiring

We’re continuing our DIY bathroom renovation on a budget, tackling everything ourselves to transform this space from top to bottom. This week, we installed new floor joists to repair the hole left by a removed chimney stack, laid concrete blocks, and bonded them to the wall with cement mortar. We also upgraded the bathroom lighting by replacing an old ceiling pull cord with a modern stainless steel light switch. While working in the attic, we uncovered signs of a pest infestation, including rat droppings and a wasp nest - just another surprise in this full home renovation journey! Follow along as we take on this complete bathroom remodel, tackling structural repairs, lighting upgrades, and more, all with DIY methods and budget-friendly solutions. 🐀 This week on Build and Bloom: ➤ DIY bathroom renovation continues (UK renovation series) ➤ Installing new floor joists after chimney stack removal ➤ How we repaired a large hole in the bathroom floor ➤ Laying concrete blocks & using mortar for structural repair ➤ Starting our DIY bathroom lighting installation ➤ Replacing an outdated pull cord with a stainless steel light switch ➤ Shocking attic discoveries – rat droppings & a wasp nest! ➤ Budget DIY renovation – tackling everything ourselves 00:00 – House Condition Overview | Mould, Damp & Broken Fixtures 01:10 – Bathroom Renovation | DIY Lighting - How to Turn a Pull Chain Light Fixture into a Switch 03:56 – Our First Time in the Attic… and We Found Signs of a Rodent Infestation! 05:49 – Installing a New Light Switch: Cutting Plasterboard & Fitting Back Box 09:59 – Lunch Break — English Cuisine: Tasting Steak and Kidney Pie 11:25 – Replace Floor Joists, Remove Floor Tiles Using Demolition Hammer & Remove Old Sink 14:04 – Plumbing Water Leak – Fixing a Leaking Tap Connection with Plumber’s Tape 14:27 – DIY Wall Repair – Filling a Hole in the Downstairs Wall with Blocks and Cement 15:11 – We Found a Dead Rat in the Attic – Plus Mice and a Wasp Nest! 16:12 – How to Run Electrical Wires Inside a Stud Wall 16:53 – Removing an Old Air Brick and Sealing the Wall for a New Extractor Fan 🏡 About Our Renovation Series: Hi, we’re Ali and Daniela — a DIY couple taking on the challenge of restoring our first home in the UK countryside.
