HUGE PROGRESS in the NEW BATHROOM for our OLD STONE HOUSE - Carving a Custom Stone Sink and Tiling
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 вер 2024
- This new bathroom build in our old French house has felt like a baptism of fire, with just about every aspect of it being something that we have never done before! But that’s not stopping us from dreaming big and attempting to pull off the bathroom of our dreams. Not all super heroes wear capes and that is most certainly true for our French neighbour and friend who does more than just lend a hand with our tiling, setting the bar extremely high for Jack’s DIY tiling to finish it off! In keeping with the traditional stone build of our house, and our renovation philosophy of using natural and long lasting materials, we outsource the carving of a beautiful bespoke limestone sink to a local artisan who absolutely blows us away with his craftsmanship. After a lovely summer break, this bathroom really can’t wait any longer and it's heads down to get it done! Can’t wait for the final reveal!

So nice to see your smiles and hear your laughter. I absolutely love the sink. I want one to! I look forward to seeing it installed.
Yes, installing the sink is the next challenge! Thanks for watching, and your comment ❤️
Hi Becs & Jack. Missed you both. By this time I think we all pretty much know that Jack can do Anything! Maybe a little scared at first but always willing to take that next step. You both work so well together too. Becs how much do you like sewing? I think you could def make some money making those bags/Backpacks! Can’t wait to see how you are going to mount that sink. It’s so special. See you next time. ❤❤❤
Hi Kathy, thanks for always watching and commenting. I do love sewing.. maybe something to get into in the winter months! Yes, installing that sink is going to be the next big challenge! Even getting it into the house at all! - Will be calling for back-up!

Haha yes, Jack doesn't hear the end of it! He agrees, it could be worse 😂 Thank you 🙏
Could be his brother.
Excellent job! I learned to tile on basic, smallish tiles, with lots of errors (thankfully only a temporary/10 year fix). Your bathroom with be really special.
It's such a complicated process and errors are not easily hidden 🫣 Jack did such a good job though and so grateful he learnt from the best! Can't wait to show the finished bathroom off soon!
Thats a beautiful sink...!!
I really can't believe it! now to install it...

Spring has sprung but it’s wild and wooly in both aus and Nz
Hope the sunshine comes to stay soon!
That sink is epic!! Bathroom is coming together so nicely. Loved the shopping trip too 🛍️ I’d like to put my Christmas order in early for the latest bag design… 😉
Are you saying you want to see more shopping trips, because that can be arranged 😂 Bag is super handy, can't have too many bags!
@@growinginfrance yes definitely for the shopping trips 😄
Love, love, loved this video! Just cannot wait to see the bathroom all come together! Thanks for taking us shopping with you too. 🛍😍 ps. Super impressed with the shopping bag you made Becs 💫
Well done with the tiling! Angoulême looks amazing in the late summer sun - very jealous!
Thank you! Trying to soak it all up before it's gone 😅
Amazing tiling! The footage of the sink being made was incredible.
Thanks Sam! Glad you enjoyed it, it was so cool of Fabien to let me film the whole thing - those machines he uses are amazing! 🤩
The weather has been rather mild in the last few days here in Canterbury . Lambs everywhere, pollen everywhere and bush fires 🔥 In saying that we did have snow 2 weeks ago, so anything an happen in spring.
Nice to see another video 😊
That is all over the place! Lovely to have you watching from our old home town x
@growinginfrance I love supporting a good old kiwi family. Especially ones from my home town❤️
Vous êtes de retour 👏👏. On devrait tous avoir un Hakim comme voisin ou être le Hakim de quelqu'un. Je comprend que vous ne vouliez pas quitter votre village. Merci d'avoir filmé les étapes du travail du tailleur de pierre. Le résultat et magnifique.
Oui, c'est bon d'être de retour ! Hakim est merveilleux, j'espère seulement qu'un jour nous pourrons être pareils pour lui et sa famille. Je suis contente que vous ayez apprécié le travail du tailleur de pierre - j'ai trouvé ça très amusant à regarder.
Great work on the bathroom, and I really liked going shopping with Rebecca in Angoulême x
Thanks! there should be plenty more opportunities for you to tag along as we get further through our projects 😍

Kia Ora! Haha yeah it does look super big now it’s not just a 3D sketch haha hope you’re right!
Nice one 👍
Cheers Linda!
Glad your back

❤wonderful ❤
Thanks Carol! 🥰
Hi missed you two! Nice to see you hope you had a nice summer!
Hi Maura! We missed you too, and we certainly did, though it was a bit short this year 😅
Just a tip research cleaning marble sinks as can be a problem if use wrong cleaning products
Thanks for the tip, the sink is actually limestone, not marble but Fabien gave us the full run down on how to prep it and clean it. Definitely don't want anything to happen to all his hard work!
did you say you made the bag/backpack? loved it!
Yep, Becs loves to sew! It’s such a handy skill to have, we love her creations 🤩
