00:10Over this last 12 months some things have changed and some things haven't changed
00:15Life moves on another year goes by hey, excuse me
00:20If anything, I feel like it's become more
00:25Busy and chaotic
00:30Look in a mine shaft. Oh, it's really far down. I don't think we can reach
00:35The turf has given away and underneath there is a breather
00:40Which is a really deep hole that goes into the mine shaft and now
00:45There's a lamp around it and it's gone down to the bottom
00:49Now or never
00:50There's always some drama
00:52Everybody has their
00:55Start to play

01:19Clive, how are we doing?
01:20You're looking rather smart this morning
01:22We acquired Andrew Johns
01:24We took
01:25This was a derelict house
01:26In the middle of nowhere
01:27It had no roof
01:28It's got a roof
01:29It's got a roof
01:30Now it has windows
01:31And so
01:32It's slowly
01:33Coming back to being
01:34A house
01:35And it's going to be
01:35A very lovely house
01:36Why do you think that?
01:37Good
01:38I mean it's really
01:39Come on
01:40So
01:40Thank you very much
01:42It must be a digging job
01:43But
01:44Mandy shouts loud
01:45For this
01:46So
01:47We're here
01:48Struck
01:50Eventually
01:51The end is in sight
01:52Finally
01:53Aye
01:54Another wonderful door
01:55But
01:56Of course
01:57This is where the real
01:58Work begins
01:59That's what colour I wanted

02:29to the next generation. Can I have to say it?
02:34It's red and sea, and Auntie John's risen everywhere.
02:39It's never gonna be a moment of calm.
02:43Oh, my goodness, what are you doing?
02:44What are you doing in the bin? I'm embracing it.
02:47I have got the transcri...
02:49They were here. They were sat here.
02:54Auntie John's is so much more than a house.
02:57It's like that idea of...
02:59..of a house and a home, and there is a difference.
03:03That's it.
03:04Ah, look at that light.
03:06It's actually all about the future.
03:09That is beautiful.
03:14I don't know what to do.
03:15A here's how a house and a house.
03:17I don't have to be in the bin.
03:21I'm afraid to go back.
03:23I'm afraid to go back.
03:24We're not afraid to go back.
03:29All the time, you're afraid,
03:31that's innocent.
03:34So you get a good idea?
03:35I don't know.
03:36It's a long time, right?
03:37I don't know.
03:38I can't believe you.
03:39You can't believe me,
03:40I don't know either.

05:17Bungie.
05:19Elvis.
05:20Louie.

05:27Bobby.
05:28Red.
05:29Ruby.
05:30Tommy.
05:31And Milo.
05:32That's amazing.
05:35I'll tell you what.
05:36You have reeled off their names better than a reel off all your guys' names.
05:40We call the pet lambs, pet lambs.
05:45Because when they were born, their mothers couldn't look after them or the lambs were
05:50living.
05:50ill and they couldn't go with their mums.
05:52So we kept them in the pens.
05:54We raised them.
05:55until they're ready to eat grass and we can let them back up to the mums.
05:59This one is bunny.
06:00He is like the baby in the pack.
06:03Is that the one that couldn't stand up?
06:05Is that the other one?
06:06No.
06:07He has joint infection.
06:08Look how he works.
06:10We have 13 pets.
06:11We have 13 pets.
06:12We have 13 pets.
06:15pet lambs.
06:16And probably the biggest one is crispy.
06:18Also, crispy was the first...
06:20pet lambs we got.
06:21And ever since he has been loving, he has...
06:25preferred probably being a pet lambs because he loves how he's made...
06:30new friends.
06:31And that he's in a good place and he's not outside.
06:35in a field where it's raining.
06:40Pili, is the one!
06:41Why do you cry?
06:42Are you crying?
06:43Oh god.
06:44Oh god.
06:45This week, well, we found out we have some...
06:50...peacock eggs.
06:54We found...
06:55...on top of the hay bales.
06:58Five big eggs!
07:01I think some of them will hatch.
07:03I think we want a boy because they're...
07:05...they're the most fancy and cool and the feathers are really nice.
07:10I don't know!
07:11I don't know!
07:12I don't know!
07:14I don't know!
07:15Help!
07:16Help!
07:17Help!
07:18Help!
07:19Help!
07:20Help!
07:23Help!
07:24Help!
07:25Something for Reuben to eat.
07:30This bit one is clearing all this out.
07:35Great, that's the oil boiler in place.
07:40How my back felt that, I tell you, just even watching it.
07:45That's it.
07:50That's it.
07:55Aum, Aum, Aum, Aum
08:00Aum, Aum
08:05We've got it to a nice stage now, we've pretty much got first fix
08:10electrics in, we're on first fix plumbing, all that's in, we've managed to get all
08:15the floors down everywhere, so all we really have left to do is the plastic
08:20plaster in, and then the floorboards and things in there
08:25there's no more satisfying than
08:30a sweeper in a room, isn't there, and seeing the mess what you get
08:33and you think where the hell did all that
08:35come from
08:36just on the bottom of people's boots
08:39this is very
08:40most of the reason why I want to protect it
08:45so
08:48they breathe
08:50and they get dirt
08:52they don't want to get dirt
08:54they don't want to put dirt
08:57they don't want to eat
09:00it's quite interesting
09:03they don't want to do well
09:05it's really just so
09:07that's how the juice is
09:10and the water
09:12is so rare
08:55You
09:00We're having to bring water from down our house in barrels just because there's nothing in the streams.
09:05Well, we're trying to get a bit of water out.
09:10Look, she's been fairly dry for Swaledale up here.
09:15We've probably had one shower in the last three months, that's about it really.
09:18February, what, last time we...
09:20We probably had a little shower and we had very little in February, to be honest.
09:23When you think in January...
09:25We're in snow, snow like this and then after snow, this will just mud.
09:30Just like that, absolutely sopping everywhere.
09:33So we're trying to make cement...
09:35We'll watter what?
09:36She's fairly brown.
09:37I've only got three tadpoles in that one.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Yeah.
09:44So...
09:45We have to pour out...
09:46Oh no, I've lost the bugger.
09:50You've seen that.
09:51We're saving lives at sea.
09:52We're saving lives in Swaledale.
09:55I've lost the bugger.
09:56I've lost the bugger before failing at all.
10:00Oh no!
10:25Well, that's another lamb in time, Dawn.
10:27These lambs are the last of the last.
10:32All the lambs have gone back to the mother now, the mothers.
10:36These are like later born lambs, the youngest lambs, so they've almost all gone now.
10:41Yes.
10:42Yes.
10:43Run.
10:44Run.
10:45There.
10:46There.
10:47There.
10:48There.
10:50There.
10:51There.
10:52There.
10:53You all right, Willie?
10:54Yes, sir.
10:55Today's about basically taking the yowls with...
11:00the single lambs back to the moor.
11:05They have all the space to roam free and basically forget about bags of feet.
11:10Forget about being shepherded and just basically be a sheep and do their own thing.
11:15I always think it's probably their best time.
11:17There.
11:18There.
11:19There.
11:20There.
11:21There.
11:22There.
11:23There.
11:24There.
11:25There.
11:26You know, to take them...
11:27up the hill, up, up and away, it's just, it's a joy really because...
11:32it's, it kind of says like job done.
11:33You know, lambing time over lambs...
11:37they're packed up and away they go.
11:38They're packed up and away they go.
11:42They're covered.
11:43They're packed up and away there.
11:44They're so sweet.
11:45I have become happy.
11:46They're so happy.
11:47That's the reason why it's a登録.
11:48Let me see.
11:49One moment ago I.*
11:53I wonder if it's a Conan wären confirms to him.
11:55That actually looks a bit down, I've totally gotten into life...
11:59honestly, I'm sorry.
12:01I got to do a beautiful mountain ride.
12:04I'm sure I answered my daddy a Bongbeau.
12:10In fairness, I'm sure you're all about this.
12:11I've just read on my phone that it's the Dray's Spring since records began.
12:16We just need some rain now and some grass to grow, you know, we've got to think about growing some hay now.
12:21And the next step in the process...
12:26As usual, it's a race against time to get the next bit done, just to keep...
12:31...in front.
12:33As one job finishes, another begins.
12:36So that's what we need to happen now.
12:40I'm sure it will.
12:41It always does.
12:46Yeah!
12:47Yeah!
12:48Yeah!
12:49Yeah!
12:50Yeah!
12:51Yeah!
12:52I'll undo it by myself!
12:54Tanya?
12:55Yeah!
12:56Perfect!
12:57Perfect!
13:00Go on!
13:01Scoot!
13:02Oh, look at that!
13:06That's them!
13:07Yeah!
13:08Yeah!
13:09Yeah!
13:10Yeah!
13:11Yeah!
13:13Yeah!
13:14Yeah!
13:15Yeah!
13:16Yeah!
13:17Yeah!
13:18Yeah!
13:19Yeah!
13:20Yeah!
13:21Yeah!
13:23Yeah!
13:24Yeah!
13:25Yeah!
13:26Yeah!
13:26Yeah!
13:27Yeah!
13:31Yeah!
13:32Yeah!
13:33Yeah!
13:34Yeah!
13:35Yeah!
13:36Yeah!
13:38Yeah!
13:39Yeah!
13:40Yeah!
13:41Yeah!
13:41Yeah!
13:42Yeah!
13:43Yeah!
13:44Yeah!
13:45Yeah!
13:46Yeah!
13:47Yeah!
13:48Yeah!
13:49Yeah!
13:50All right!
13:51Yeah!
13:52Yeah!
13:53Good stuff!
13:54Good stuff!
13:56The kitchen's always been a little sticking point.
14:01It's got to the head really because the electrician wants to come in here and start
14:06bring the electrics in.
14:08So a manager has to make some decisions.
14:11of what's going to go where.
14:15Because if the electrician...
14:16the electrician carper is in, we can't come in and plaster, the job will stop if we don't
14:20get these decisions.
14:21Yes!
14:22Yes!
14:23We love the electrician carperers and loaders.
14:24It's pretty cool...
14:26...of doing this...
14:26I've got a dresser that's really nice to go in here.
14:30So if you've got a Welsh dresser...
14:31..and say it comes out 600, you could do with a light up here, what shines.
14:36I like the idea of having a choice, I don't like light on, light on.
14:41So if I do like the kitchen area on one switch, above the lamp, above that area on another switch...
14:46Yes?
14:47..the table lamp, above the switch, I've got three switches.
14:48Is that OK?
14:49Yeah, and then up there...
14:50Huh?
14:51Yeah.
14:52Are we writing this down?
14:54Yeah.
14:55In a way...
14:56I have to pinch myself to think that I'm actually at this place, because although I'm excited about it, and although I'm...
15:01I'm pleased, I'm also slightly stressed about it, because I've got JD the electrician now at the moment, who's...
15:06..asking me all kinds of things about where I want sockets.
15:08So it feels like the earnest has rather changed.
15:11What are you going to do between this space here, where your sink is...
15:14Mm-hmm.
15:15..and what you're going to do with your...
15:16I don't know yet, as long as it's things that don't really require...
15:21..too much of an answer, you know?
15:23Roofs, windows, doors are not really sort of optional.
15:26You're having them, aren't you?
15:27Whereas things like, where do you think you might want to plug this in?
15:31Oh, where do you want to plug that in?
15:33I have no clue!
15:34I can't remember.
15:36It was here is where we'd planned it.
15:38I don't know.
15:39I'm beginning to start...
15:41I'm feeling really stressed about this.
15:43I don't want to sort of, like, be throwing...
15:46sort of impossible sort of ideas around.
15:49I mean, the whole project looked...
15:51..so I figure I've done well.
15:52I'm not going to push my luck, am I?
15:54Arga!
15:55Arga!
15:56There.
15:57There.
15:58Central to that space, Arga.
15:59Yeah.
16:00Yes.
16:01And then you'd be having an extractor hood or just a fan?
16:03It depends on what you want.
16:05It depends on what you want, really.
16:06I keep kind of throwing it back to them.
16:09I say, well, what would you...
16:10What do you do?
16:11What do you think?
16:12And then if it sounds feasible and doable and achievable.
16:15It'll work.
16:16Then that's where it's at.
16:17At this very moment in time...
16:19Yeah.
16:20Yes.
16:21I can see this place is coming on and it's all moving forward.
16:24But do you know what?
16:25I still, in a way, can't visualise the space.
16:28Mm-hmm.
16:29Do you...
16:30I know...
16:31I'm sorry.
16:33Dearing me.
16:35I don't like it.
16:36I don't like it.
16:37Ah!
16:38Yeah!
16:39Yeah!
16:40Yeah.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Yeah.
16:43Yeah.
16:44Yeah.
16:45Yeah.
16:45You can't have me and her together with axes, you know.
16:50Get off.
16:51I think it's going to fall off it.
16:53Come here.
16:54Hold your hand.
16:56Perfect harmony.
16:57It's like synchronized axe-wielding.
17:00It's way behind these people.
17:01How does that hurt?
17:02I guess I'm…
17:03Let's do it.
17:04I almost suffer.
17:06Come on.
17:09Yeah it is.
17:10Pretty little girl.
17:11You nice.
17:12Nice.
17:13Nice.
17:14peut your mouth, huh?
17:16You did not touch this, wasn't it.
17:17J'adore.
17:19You never truly, man.
17:20No, man.
17:21Now you're sitting here if I just cold, I'm not
17:30by I'm getting it light thank you we're still sort of me
17:35making it up as we go along life is what it is relationships come and go
17:40sometimes you're lucky and you stay with the same person for all of your life no don't
17:45touch it and sometimes that doesn't happen and I have no regrets
17:50yeah I've got no regrets
17:55come people have had this
18:00massive thing about me and Amanda getting back together well you know we've been
18:04there doing that
18:05that isn't happening
18:07they don't want to be too big
18:09it's not like a
18:10backseat driver
18:13folk do change and I mean that's what I
18:15why we're not together anymore we're different ages for a start and that has a role
18:20for a start
18:20seemed like a good idea at a time
18:24it's that thing isn't it like
18:25goes on and sadly it didn't work out for me and her
18:28it makes me hard
18:29hang on
18:30stop
18:30don't leave it there
18:31but that isn't the end she's just a young woman and I'm sure
18:34you know
18:35along the way she'll maybe find some water and good luck to her
18:40that's going to sharpen the booker
18:43that's going to sharpen the booker
18:43that's going to sharpen the booker
18:45I'm still here to tell the tale
18:47I'm coming up to the same time still fairly healthy I have
18:50and so you just have to count your blessings and settle for that thing
18:55are you happy with that one like that
18:57really one spitting again I
19:00you know I think there comes a point where either you pull together or you pull apart
19:05and we pulled apart
19:10you
19:11you
19:15But the one thing that does bind us is obviously a whole...
19:20...squadron of children and an absolute ton of work.
19:25It needs doing.
19:26That was amazing!
19:28It's a strange...
19:30It's a strange thing, really.
19:31I mean, we've just had to make it work, haven't we?
19:33Because we had all these kids, we had nine kids, we couldn't...
19:35...just pack your bags and leave.
19:37You can't, and so we've had to make that.
19:40As it is.
19:41You know, because kids are the most important thing, obviously.
19:44And I think...
19:45...they're absolutely fine.
19:50We're done now.
19:53We're done now.
19:55We have been together a long time, and we do know each other well.
20:00And our failings and weaknesses.
20:05Oh!
20:07If you can just hold it, it's just a bit unbalanced.
20:10Give that a go.
20:11I think it'll go.
20:12Give that a go.
20:13Give that a go.
20:14I think it'll go.
20:15Our relationship has always been tempestuous, because the kind of life that we live...
20:20...sends itself to chaos.
20:21But if, really speaking, you're looking for someone...
20:25...who has got you back, then I'm always going to look to Clive for that.
20:31What a minute.
20:33It'll make it do, eh?
20:35Now, like a log, they warm you twice.
20:40Oh!
20:41Oh!
20:42Oh!
20:43Oh!
20:44Oh!
20:45Oh!
20:45Oh!

21:20Oh!
21:21Oh!
21:22Oh!
21:23Oh!
21:24Oh!
21:25Oh!
21:26Oh!
21:27Oh!
21:29We're at that stage...
21:30now the one we've all been waiting for talking about for the last year actually plastic
21:35are in we're putting the
21:40insulating coats on to hopefully make it a little bit more of a desirable
21:45spot to live in there was a reason why people haven't lived here
21:50400 years it's on top of a hill it would have been bloody cold it would have been
21:55damp and it would have been horrible to be quite honest with you so what we've got to
22:00try and do is make it a little bit more hospitable
22:05what are you doing i'm making a mix-up podcast i wish you'd hurry up we're waiting
22:10in a
22:15so
22:20Basically got a little bit of a production line going, where we're putting...
22:25all the lime plaster onto the walls as quick as we can.
22:30Well, it's the first time I've ever used it.
22:35It's a bit of a new experience for them.
22:40The lime itself comes in a bit of a...
22:45granular form, and this is quick lime.
22:49But...
22:50The insulating properties is something called perlite, and it's extremely...
22:55light.
22:56Also, what we're putting in there is hemp.
22:59The hemp...
23:00The sole purpose is to tie everything together.
23:04And it's what holds...
23:05the plaster onto the wall.
23:07And what we create is a really light...
23:10lime plaster.
23:14It's as hot as porridge.
23:15Is it steam coming off it?
23:18It'll be like a sauna.
23:20Yeah, shortly.
23:21Because...
23:22But the walls...
23:24just radiate heat.
23:25Then...
23:26It's the first time...
23:28It's the first time...
23:29but the power is connected.
23:30I'm sorry.
23:31I'm sorry.
23:32I'm sorry.
23:33I'm sorry.
23:35I'm sorry.
23:36It's just a little bit.
23:37I'm sorry.
23:39I'm sorry.
23:41I'm sorry.
23:43It's not...
23:45It's a cidade.
23:46I'm sorry.
23:47I'm sorry.
23:49It's very good that was a good place.
23:51I'm sorry.
23:52a two-inch thick lime plaster with all these wonderful insulating.
23:57properties. Then we're going to put two skim coats on top of that and that'll be the
24:02finishing coat. So we have a lot of work to do here.
24:22What are you doing?
24:23I've been busy this morning, Richard.
24:24Look at what I've made you.
24:26Handcrafted by...
24:27I've got my own fair hands.
24:29Now I am impressed.
24:31Well, I'm lying.
24:32I'm f***ing...
24:32I'm quite aware you're lying.
24:35I know.
24:35Where was it?
24:36Yeah.
24:36Two door f***ing.
24:37Two internal door frames.
24:40OK?
24:40Excellent.
24:41So that's...
24:42That's good.
24:42That'll keep you going with this plaster work.
24:46OK.
24:47Well, do you want to take that one?
24:50I'll take that one.
24:50You bring the other one.
24:51OK.
24:51You couldn't clean...
24:56You couldn't clean...
24:57Get out.
24:58Get on.
24:59Bigger than I thought.
25:03Bigger than I thought.
25:07You couldn't clean it.
25:10All right.
25:11Right, getting through some water!
25:13We're going with about a cube a day, which is a thousand...
25:16...litres.
25:17Who'd have thought there'd have been a time when we were lacking in water here?
25:21I know, it's crazy, isn't it?
25:26This project, it's like more than just a building project.
25:31It's like a history project.
25:33It's like a heritage project.
25:36It's like a community project, I suppose, in a way.
25:40Look at all these people.
25:41That are here now and that are a part of this.
25:47We've got Ken.
25:49His family has been...
25:51...in Swaledale.
25:52Forever.
25:56My grandparents, my mother's mother and father, we're probably not...
26:01...in 1922 or 1923, they had their wedding reception here.
26:04A little barn done, so obviously...
26:06...locals have put some food on for them.
26:08Local musicians, and they're physically...
26:11...had their wedding reception here, so...
26:13Oh my goodness, I love that idea.
26:14There was a...
26:15There was a wedding...
26:16...and a proper knees up.
26:17Exactly, a reception.
26:18That's where they thought, obviously...
26:19...which it would be a lovely place, wouldn't it, obviously?
26:21Quite interesting for me, thinking, you know...
26:24...my grandparents set off their married life...
26:26...to pay for you.
26:27If the warts could only talk.
26:29Yeah, I feel like that's...
26:31...part of the reason why it's so important...
26:34...that we keep the stories and the history...
26:36...and the heritage of these places...
26:38...alive and going.
26:39Exactly.
26:40And the younger generation.
26:41Yeah.
26:42But as you get older...
26:43...you start to get more interested.
26:44What do you mean?
26:45This is a sign of...
26:46...from me getting old?
26:47No, no.
26:48Well, we're all getting older, I'm afraid, aren't we?
26:51Yeah.
26:52Yeah.
26:53Yeah.
26:54Yeah.
26:55Yeah.
26:56Yeah.
26:57Yeah.
26:58Yeah.
26:59I still can't believe how it feels like old road...
27:01...lead to the top end of the dale...
27:02...to Ravensea, to Aunty Johns.
27:04It was...
27:06...it was already...
27:07...just a barn...
27:08...but it was a functional building.
27:10You know...
27:11...there was parties going on.
27:13It's kind of like the equivalent of a 90s rave scene.
27:16...isn't it?
27:17You know...
27:18...where everybody would head off to some random place...
27:19...out in the countryside...
27:20...party on until the...
27:21...the police got called.
27:22Same kind of thing.
27:24And...
27:25...I kind of love that.
27:26LAUGHTER
28:49I can't believe I've got my hands on that.
28:53There are certain facts that we do know about Anthony Clarkson.
28:55We know that he was...
28:57working as a schoolmaster that he actually left the area and we know that when he...
29:02his father died that was kind of when everything changed and he came back into Swaledale and...
29:07um...
29:08started work on the...
29:09what...
29:10what is now called...
29:11Aunty Johns.
29:12after him of course.
29:13After him of course.
29:18Hi mum.
29:19I got you a tea.
29:20Bye.
29:21Oh thank you.
29:22Lovely.
29:23This transcription of the diary is just absolute...
29:27fascinating.
29:28Because the diary of course is written by Anthony Clarkson and Mally.
29:32Mary.
29:33Well her real name was Mary.
29:34Yeah.
29:35Mary was sort of her...
29:36her nickname was...
29:37basically the girl next door.
29:38Mmm.
29:39She lives at Close Hills.
29:40She's born at Close Hills but apparently...
29:42her parents died when she was 15.
29:43Right.
29:44And she comes here and...
29:47basically she works as a servant in the house and that's the thing.
29:52because...
29:53you never think of houses like these as having servants do you?
29:56No.
29:5731st of December 1817.
30:00Mally danced...
30:02had Mally for a sweetheart.
30:06Yuck.
30:07I think...
30:08I think he got lucky.
30:09Yuck.
30:10Yeah there you go.
30:123rd of January.
30:13Things progressed quickly.
30:14Mally and I sit up till...
30:153rd of January.
30:16Things progressed quickly.
30:17Mally and I sit up till...
30:174 o'clock.
30:18Sweethearting.
30:19Yuck.
30:20Well I think that's a nice way of...
30:22putting it.
30:23That's nice.
30:24Better than getting it on innit?
30:25Getting jiggy.
30:26Ew.
30:27Can you imagine if you'd put that?
30:29Eugh.
30:30Yeah.
30:31He writes so fondly about her.
30:32And...
30:33I don't know.
30:34It's a bit of...
30:35It's a bit of a love story.
30:36Mmm.
30:37Anyway.
30:38Right.
30:39Well you carry on and...
30:40I suppose I'd better get on with being Mally hadn't I?
30:42Yeah.
30:43Stoking the fire up.
30:44Making tea.
30:45And looking after it burns.
30:46Mmm.
30:47I absolutely know I close...
30:48I'm not too close...
30:49I don't know.
30:50I'm not too close...
30:51I'm not too close...
30:52close to those hills...
30:53is because he's exactly...
30:54Half way...
30:55between Ravensey.
30:57and Auntie John's so that is basically Molly's house
31:02it's now just an abandoned barn it's still got the fireplace in and still got
31:06the outdoors
31:07staircase she literally was like his next door neighbor
31:12it was like the girl next door where are we headed
31:17well Molly's house close house okay
31:22Nancy and Clump they want to take me up to Close Hills which is a barn and yeah
31:27they want
31:27to tell me all about that so that's exciting
31:29right let's go
31:32oh no heron heron heron heron heron
31:37this is over there I can jump to ya
31:39oh yeah
31:41wow
31:42you're wearing a good outfit for it Nancy as well which is good
31:47we're going up Mount Everest
31:52this is Molly's house where she lives
31:55this is Molly's house
31:56yeah
31:57oh this is a lovely doorway isn't it
32:00mm-hmm
32:01so homely
32:02yeah
32:04can you see that?
32:06oh yeah
32:07and there's a
32:07The door is here as well.
32:08Look, it's like a door's been covered up.
32:12It's pretty fascinating when you think about me growing up here and her growing up.
32:17Five minutes across the hill 200 years ago and the differences in our lives.
32:22It looks like it would have been the fireplace here.
32:24Yeah, that could have been the chimney.
32:25What do you think is going on here?
32:26Maybe.
32:27Like a little...
32:28Fireplace.
32:29Do you think another fireplace?
32:30If that's also got a fire in it.
32:33It might be something else.
32:34It could be like a storage cupboard.
32:35Maybe.
32:36Yeah, it could be.
32:37It's pretty insane to think about, like, the opportunities that I have now.
32:42Compared to back then.
32:43And then you think about mum being 21 when she met dad.
32:47And came up here.
32:48And how old she was when she had me.
32:51And it's just...
32:52interesting to think about.
32:54Like, it does boggle your mind a little bit when you think about it.
32:57Wait, so how long were you an only child?
33:00Wait, so how long were you an only child?
33:01Wait, so how long were you an only child?
33:02Three of the best years of my life.
33:03It would have been the good days.
33:04It would have been the good days.
33:05Back in those days.
33:06Yeah.
33:07You get to eat chocolate, whatever you want.
33:09Have chocolate milk.
33:10Go to bed late.
33:12They actually cared about you that time.
33:14Come on.
33:17All right, um...
33:21Here we go.
33:22OK, 5th of July, 1818.
33:27Went to electoral meeting at Appleby, drank.
33:32Work a lot.
33:34Next day, not very well at Raven Seat.
33:37I love that.
33:38The next day, he's got the hangover from hell.
33:43Right here.
33:44It probably threw up in the cold bucket.
33:46I mean...
33:47Who knows?
33:48And I bet you any money, Mally was, like, giving him a bit of earring.
33:52I don't know if I can break about this.
33:55To actually...
33:57To discover that he was literally here, sat by the fireplace.
34:02Actually, it just takes my breath away to think about that.
34:05They were here.
34:06They were sad.
34:07Out here.
34:10Oh!
34:11Yeah.
34:12It's great.
34:13Honestly, I can't believe we're so fortunate to have this.
34:15And to have it whereby it...
34:17It ties into the place that now we can call our own.
34:21I just feel like this...
34:22It's heritage.
34:23I just want to be able to celebrate it and carry it on, really.
34:27Be good to have it, really...
34:29I don't even know how...
34:33I just feel like we can eat it much.
34:35I hope that you want and walk you a bit better.
34:37And let me stay alone.
34:39And wait a bit more.
34:41I don't even know that this is hard to think about this.
34:43I know.
34:44It's really amazing.
34:47About a time, we have time.
34:51And.
34:52So...
34:55After one, there's gonna be controlled by four kinds of things,
34:56Not a million miles away.
34:58Dan is basically a bespoke joiner.
35:01Who makes windows, makes doors.
35:03It makes all sorts of things, Dan.
35:06Yeah.
35:08Yeah.
35:10Yeah.
35:11Yeah.
35:12Yeah.
35:13Yeah.
35:15Yeah.
35:16Three-eighths different, man.
35:17Three-eighths different.
35:18So...
35:21So, we've got all the doors.
35:22We've been making them in the workshop.
35:24And today, hopefully, they're all gonna fit.
35:27It's roughly about a week a door from...
35:30That's from the...
35:31The roughs on timber.
35:32Right through to making the pin bead boards.
35:34And all the different bits with them.
35:36Jeez.
35:37Oh, just a little bit there, Rich.
35:39That's wet.
35:41On this and here, probably.
35:42Just want to lie a bit off there with...
35:45Give us half a...
35:46An inch there, won't it?
35:47Barnes, they don't have square openings.
35:49They're a challenge.
35:50They're...
35:51Old heads and sills.
35:52They can sometimes be quite a way out of level.
35:55But we'll get it done.
35:57Well, I'm just playing a bit off topic now.
36:00Playing a bit top.
36:01Yeah, well, I too.
36:02Yeah.
36:06If you put the door in level, sometimes that doesn't look right with the old stone mullions.
36:10So you've got to...
36:11Just tweak them a little bit to...
36:12To get them to...
36:13To look right as well.
36:16All yours.
36:17These things...
36:18All yours.
36:19These things...
36:21to have the magic touch. Getting the doors in, it'll make the building sealed up there.
36:26And watertight. Morning, how are we doing?
36:31Clive, how are we doing? All right. You're looking rather smart this morning. A fresh air cut. Thank you very much.
36:36Well, it's nice to see the doors going on, isn't it? Isn't it?
36:41Sealed up. Sealed up. Exactly.
36:46It's a big step, isn't it? You get that final look about it. Them's lovely doors.
36:51It's going to last a long time. Long, long time. You're not going to have to worry about it.
36:56The lifetime guarantee. There you are. There you are. There you are.
37:01It's probably done's lifetime.
37:06It's already written.
37:08Oh my God.
37:10He's out there.
37:11Looking good.
37:13Move that out of the way.
37:16Put that in there, see if it fits.
37:20Perfecto.
37:22Beautiful.
37:23Absolutely perfect.
37:25Now, how do we get out?
37:26I am just bringing...
37:31Treats.
37:32Felician.
37:34Come in.
37:36Aye, that's what it doesn't sound like.
37:40Sausage roll, help yourself.
37:41And there's some cake in here as well.
37:43How's it going?
37:44Good.
37:45Really good.
37:46Things are fitting.
37:47Yeah.
37:48Things are fitting.
37:49They look amazing.
37:51I mean, honestly, just made to measure, bespoke.
37:56Please tell me, though, that at no point is it actually going to swell and get stuck and
38:01I'm going to...
38:02I hope not.
38:03Very much I hope not.
38:04You'll hear about it, won't you?
38:05Huh?
38:06You can see that the sort of time and effort that you're putting into getting these right...
38:11It's really appreciated.
38:12You know, as I said, I've got a new appreciation for...
38:16The little things.
38:17The little things that you never consider.
38:19A door is a door until...
38:21So you actually see what goes into them.

40:59Don, I think...
41:00I think you've forgotten the cat flap.
41:02A cat flap?
41:04Yeah, and a mailbox.
41:05A mailbox?
41:06Yeah.
41:07No!
41:08You can't have a cat flap in the door like that.
41:10Yeah.
41:12I'm so looking forward to a point when I can start.
41:15Look at Henry hoovering all the dust and bits up.
41:20Thank you very much.
41:22What flavour cake are we of?
41:23I think it's bananas.
41:23No, no.
41:24Tremendous.
41:26It'll be nice to actually be able to shut up, shop and keep all the weather and wind down.
41:30Yeah.
41:34Hopefully it fits.
41:35I bet you have never gone to a place and it hasn't fitted if you've taken a measure.
41:40Yeah?
41:43Have you?
41:43That's the worry.
41:44There's always a first, isn't there?
41:45Yeah, can you imagine? That is just not what you need.
41:50No.
41:51What is the little saying? What is it? Measure twice, cut once.
41:54Yeah.
41:55That's what they say.
41:56Yeah.
41:57Look at that.
41:59You're not...
42:00I'm not going to snap that.
42:01I am...
42:03Oh!
42:04Er...
42:05Er...
42:06Er...
42:07Er...
42:08Er...
42:09Er...
42:10Er...
42:10Er...
42:11I just really like the way that the windows and the doors look.
42:14And I...
42:15I also like how this is like a unique house because some of the walls are curved.
42:20Er...
42:21Er...
42:22Er...
42:23Here we have a lot of facts...
42:25about the old people who lived here in their old times.
42:29Anthony Clark...
42:30Er...
42:31Every day he would get up and he would...
42:35start looking after his animals.
42:37And we're...
42:38We're making his history keep him going.
42:40Because we are building up his house.
42:43It's cold.
42:44It's cold.
42:45Sometimes when the fireplace is cold it's quite...
42:47It's cold here.
42:48Yeah.
42:50It won't be cold now.
42:51What sort of sound have you got?
42:52Sausage.
42:53That's hot.
42:54That's hot.
42:55I hope there's enough for seconds.
42:56Is it?
42:57Mmm...
42:58Yeah.
42:59Anthony Clark...
43:00If he heard us or saw us he would be very glad his...
43:05house...
43:06has been builded back up.
43:08You're not letting...
43:10this house just be abandoned.
43:12And you...
43:13and you're not letting this history just know...
43:15not go on.
43:16We're making this history bigger.
43:18And...
43:19some...
43:20some day this house will own to someone else...
43:22and they will build it up.
43:25To see where we've got to now from where we began...
43:30it's amazing.
43:31You know...
43:32I mean...
43:33from setting off to not even having a...
43:35roof to now basically be able to shut all the doors.
43:38It's incredible.
43:40You know...
43:41nothing is of standard size.
43:44You know...
43:45nothing is of standard size.
43:45everything is...
43:46made to fit.
43:47And he's done such a good job.
43:51You know...
43:52to see someone...
43:53literally working...
43:54to a...
43:55millimetre...
43:56is a bit of a perfectionist.
44:00Dan is a good guy to have on the job.
44:02Dan is a good guy to have on the job.
44:03You know...
44:04the kids have really...
44:05enjoyed him being here as well.
44:06And...
44:07I've been asking him questions.
44:09Because he's obviously a very...
44:10passionate about what he does.
44:11And you know...
44:12he's made some very substantial doors.
44:15that are in keeping with the property.
44:17But also using...
44:18modern glazing methods.
44:20made it that basically...
44:21they're well insulated as well...
44:22to keep us warm in there.
44:25in a few days...
44:26to keep us warm in there.
44:27I don't know.
44:28I know.
44:29You know...
44:30My favourite sweet is the gummy bears.
44:33I don't know why.
44:35Hey, how are we doing?
44:39Hey, how are we doing?
44:40Sounding good.
44:41Looks good.
44:42Looks great.
44:43It fit?
44:44That looks...
44:45It looks absolutely fantastic.
44:46You know, it looks like a door that means business.
44:50No!
44:51I'm so sorry.
44:52I'm so sorry.
44:55We finally have a water...
45:00It's a tight, weatherproof house.
45:03Let's go!
45:05You know, the last door, the last window...
45:10Which means that basically, I can shut up shop now.
45:15We can shut the world out and we can shut the children out.
45:20Or in.
45:21We can shut people out, animals out.
45:25Now we can be inside, like properly inside.
45:27We don't have to have a flipping game.
45:30We can be outside.
45:31We can be outside.
45:32The things that are growing through the place.
45:33That is tremendous.
45:34And hopefully, that should mean...
45:35that we can get that plaster drying that little bit quicker as well.
45:40It is getting exciting, because you're actually getting to see it...
45:45To become a home, I still pinch myself, I can't believe we're at...
45:50this place.
45:52Heavy boxes these, aren't they?
45:54Yeah.
45:55There's still a lot to do, believe me.
45:57The end is not even in sight.
46:00It's just...
46:01I guess the focus changes more.
46:04Yeah, it's exciting.
46:05Very exciting.
46:06Very exciting.
46:07And on that note, I must remember...
46:10to lock the door.
46:12So, I dare say the next thing would be, I'll lose the keys.
46:15Do...
