This Floor Could Collapse! Fixing Rotten Joists in Our Cottage

We're tackling rotten floor joists in our old Welsh cottage! 🏡 In this episode, we prop up the structure with Acrow props, cut out the dry rot, and install new oak and redwood joists to bring strength and stability back to our floor. Along the way, we face some big questions — can an old elm lintel be repurposed as a joist? What surprises are hiding under those ancient floorboards? How exactly to you tackle dry rot? And will the whole thing hold together once the props come out? This is a DIY floor joist replacement project with plenty of challenges, traditional materials, and a few historic touches. Perfect for anyone interested in renovating old houses, sustainable building, or just the satisfying process of fixing something properly. We're Joe and Lydia, and we quit our day jobs to restore our 200-year-old cottage in Wales, and we want to show you as much entertaining and educational content as we can produce. The restoration can sometimes be daunting. A bit like renovating a cottage in Ireland, Wales can be wet and cold and thoroughly rewarding in its own charming way!
