For my first new-to-me YouTube channel recommendation of 2025, I'm going with Ben Kilner. Specifically, the 100 Year Old Derelict Stables to Dream Workshop playlist, the first installment of which is embedded below.

This series has been so enjoyable! Each episode is not too long, and many of them have incredible timelapses of the effort this guy is putting into rehabilitating an old building. And what an effort! Ben is putting an amazing amount of "elbow grease" into this renovation, and he's come a decent way since the first episode. New episodes continue to get posted, so be sure to give it a follow if you are interested in this kind of thing.
