By the time Philipp blurred his own face I was in absolute hysterics. Loved Anna's eye shifting when he asked what the trade would be. She's so funny... they make a great team.
Philipp, out of all your well-documented skills, I admire your patience and humility most. Having to work side by side with contractors whose skills are not as good as your own must be a real challenge. However, you are able to do this, and still maintain such amazing humility. You are a true treasure.
No doubt, this is the most humorus video to date!! I grinned and laughed out loud at the conversations (translated) between the three fellow workers! The swiss cheese panel was halarious, as well as "please blur my face" from Vincent. Well done, construction wise guys! Happy that Anna checked doctors regarding lead paint.
Phillip = "Blur my face out" - 🤣🤣 had me in stitches, appreciate the fact that you are both allowing us to see the successes and mistakes of your journey.
It's a clever idea that you need to wait for tiles until you can decide where the niche should be according to the size of the tiles. However keeping in tradition with the grand scale of the chateau, the niche shouldn't be just big enough to fit the bottles but also a lot of space above the bottles. Looks more intentional than just stuffed/boxed in. This also gives the opportunity to switch for another size bottles later if needed. Don't box yourself in (pun intended).
20 years ago, my husband and I renovated our newly purchased 100-hundred-year-old bungalow (not that old in comparison to your chateau but quite old for New Zealand). Anyway, I naively did a lot of sanding of the old paint without a much protective gear - perhaps a dust mask only. Upon completing our renovation, we moved in and expanded our family with our 2nd kiddo. Sadly, he was born with special needs which proceeded with many investigations to try and find out why and how - although it turns out he has a rare genetic syndrome, he did have high levels of lead in his blood, and although he was born after our renovation took place it has been thought that I likely had lead poisoning prior to getting pregnant. So yeah, long story short, caution when removing old paint is an absolute must! On a positive note, I really enjoyed this episode - thanks for the many laughs. xo
I love how you get some beautiful and quiet cinematic shots from just a construction site. Also the music is always on point! I would love to watch a film directed by this man
First, I am so glad you're okay Anna. Second, the blurring of the faces when Philip and Benoit made mistakes are so so funny and Vincent's also. It is purely entertaining.
As a designer/builder in the States - I have often wondered why Anna and Philip don't wear a mask when they are doing dusty work or sweeping up. I'd feel better if they did.
I love seeing Philip, Benoit and now Vincent all working together. While the chateau is now almost completely renovated, I hope we still get to see them work together when it comes to renovating the outbuildings.
I greatly admire your grandiose humility. Your humility would make a monk brush. Carry on and get thee to a monastery ASAP - they could use your shining example.
Very happy to see others managing without a plaster board lifter - nothing like balancing a board on your head while your arms burn supporting another area with a broom while praying the board doesn't flex too much and snap. Bravo!
I feel for you, Anna! In my not-so-old home (90 years) I always assume the worst and test for lead before disturbing paint. Also you want to use a knife to cut through the paint to expose all the layers that have been painted over time, so you can test all the layers. Good luck! It's such a pain removing lead paint - sealing off the area, covering yourself adequately, not being able to use any tools that will generate dust. But you're in winter, which should help - I've often found myself removing lead in the height of summer, which is no fun when wearing respirators and plastic suits!
This video clearly requires comments ,and comments are whirling around my head as I consider them.I cannot get hold of any single one so I have settled for simply“this video is an absolute joy I am grateful” ❤
Make the niche tall enough for shampoo and conditioner bottles. It will also need to be wide enough to accommodate those two bottles. But, ideally, it needs to be wide enough to hold at least 4 bottles as men typically use different hair products than women and you will also need room for shower gel/ soap. Or you can make two niches and make them on each side of the water lines creating balance and proportion.
Yes, I agree! My husband was helping our 85 year old gentleman friend make bathroom renovation decisions. They ademently disagreed with me on the width size of the niche in the master bathroom.......they now agree I was right! They listened to me when they got to the guest bath.
Regarding the niche, designing the location according to the tiles is a simply elegant solution to the problem. Also, be sure to take into account how high some shampoo bottles can be and as to the width, how many products you are likely to use. Anna might want to take an inventory of the product you both regularly use in the shower and govern the width and height accordingly. Just a thought!
Good news on the lead test results! Also sometimes old glue, sheetrock and flooring can have asbestos, so good to get the old materials tested for that if you can.
I laughed when you were making holes in the plasterboard because I've used the same "flipping my hand over and over" method when sewing!! It's a very useful method! Thanks for the laughs!
Good medicine all round! Benoit, and Vincent, just perfect foils for Phillip, and Anna the calm voice of sanity and reason! This programme just keeps getting better with every new episode! Thank you.
It was so nice to hear Philip’s laugh. I was laughing out loud with the banter and blurring out. Such a great video this week. I’m glad you are ok Anna, and Benoit too.
Glad you are ok Anna. Everyone who worked in that room or were exposed should get tested. Then the dog and kids need to stay clear. Loved all the mistakes and giggles 😍😘
Have you considered putting niche on side wall that divides shower and toilet so that the shampoo, soap, etc don't play such a prominent design feature?
I agree. I was just going to write that the niche should be placed so you don’t see it when looking straight into the shower at the back wall. It should be placed in a side wall so the bottles don’t detract from the tiling.
Exactly! Such a great point!!! Unless there is no space between the shower/toilet room walls... I think they're putting the niche where the old door once was... hence a space. @@Mimi-y9o4f
Anna, you were so smart to go get tested for lead poisoning❣️❣️ I am truly happy that you are not seriously ill from lead poisoning, though it is a wonder you’re not with all of the painting and scraping you have done throughout the entire château❣️ You have been such a trooper about all the painting! Phillips, your humility tickles me all the time. I personally think you are a saint and extremely talented… But you make me laugh at the things you say. You are an excellent entertainer, as well as Contractor, etc. I am glad you have the contractors to come in and help you get things done quicker so that eventually, hopefully very soon, you guys will be done with a Chatteau, and you can be free of the pressure and stress of renovation. Anna and Philip, you have done such a marvelous job on designing the château. But if I know the two of you, as soon as it’s done, you will be onto a new project. I can’t wait to see it decorated for the holidays.😊🎄❣️ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love your channel❤

@@snoopybluejeansMakes sense. Those who are renovating a.house need to take time to restore their health and sanity, and sailing is a really special way to do that.
@@RogerFleischer-p3f - perfect timing. I just finished a thorough reno on my 4 plex one side only. Now my contractor is sending over a mover to help me get a move on for the other side. I live here. Sorry but I need some quiet time out and look at my Fred Olsen sailing around the world brochure. I say next week after is soon enough. He forgets I'm the boss of me- Lol - He's a good guy tho and means well.
Anna! I so thankful that you are safe! How frightening! Phillip, your filming and movie making talent are stellar! Every time I watch an episode, I'm laughing my head off at your antics and your sense of humor. 😂😂😂 Well done, the master suite is coming along beautifully!
Put the niche up high enough so that water from the showerhead doesnt sit in it (maybe SLIGHTLY slope the shelf?) otherwise you will get mould. Definitely make it as big as you can, looks more elegant. Even better if you can run it the wholde width of the shower....
The color of that plasterboard in the master bathroom actually looks really pretty in there! Very calming and spa-like. As for the niche in the shower, you can put in rounded corner shelves when you tile; I have them in both showers in my bathrooms. They are molded to match the tile.
Glad you are okay Anna!💝💝 I would suggest to put the location niche on the wall sharing the shower and toilet room so you can see the beautiful tile/tile design you will do instead of product bottles. I would do one taller niche with 2 shelves one for Anna and her products and one for Phillip and his products. Be sure to remember to tilt the grade the bottom tile so the water runs out of the niche.
Dust is an issue, keep children out if they have not been in their already exposed . Secondary exposure: the dog will need bathing before the girls play with him. The girls and both of you will need to be tested. Children especially since you already know heavy metals are a neurotoxin. Treat that area of the house as a hazard zone until you have sealed the layers of paint. This is a messy business and it will be expensive to deal with.
As a designer/builder in the States - I have often wondered why Anna and Philip don't wear a mask when they are doing dusty work or sweeping up. I'd feel better if they did.
If I need some humour for the day, I'd just view one of this channel's vids. I love Philipp's confidence especially him saying that he needs to be role model for his fans and that we look after him for his skills, expertise, precision, taste and good looks. 😂
We just had 3 niches put in and theyre little boxes that you just slide in, very easy and we have them with lights even. In the color of all the taps etc, gold in our case! Easier to keep clean and without leaks than tiles, tho I'm not sure if it will fit your design ❤
Uninsulated Plasterboard installed on an External facing wall will cause damp. The Plasterboard will sweat as the internal room temperature is higher than the cold wall it faces onto. This will lead to penetrating damp appearing over time as moisture will accumulate on the back of the Plasterboard and eventually seep through the Plasterboard. The correct method is to use Insulated Plasterboard only whenever you are covering an External Facing wall - the insulation will stop the sweating issue.
@@ruthugo9342 the metal stud's will directly transfer the cold of the outside wall directly onto the rear surface of the plasterboard. There is no thermal break. Insulating in-between the studs is futile as there is a direct contact made by the metal stud to the outer wall. So the rear of the plasterboard will be cooled by the direct contact to the outer wall facilitated via the metal stud, while the interior face of the plasterboard will be warmed by the interior room temperature = moisture. What happens is similar to what you see when you open your curtains and shutters on a cold morning - your windows are covered in condensation. This is happening on the Plasterboard, but you don't see it as it happens on the backside. Eventually the plasterboard becomes very damp and you start to see signs of moisture on the front side (staining of your wallpaper/painted surface). Once wet the only way to fix the issue is to remove the plasterboard - it will not dry out as Plasterboard is made from Gypsum and isn't a breathable material. The correct technique is to install an insulated plasterboard using the Dot and Dab method, with additional screw fixings directly into the wall behind.
Yes, we've had lots of issues with this in our old house. We're renovating now and getting insulation on the outside (yay) plus a bunch of extra measures to prevent the cold bridge with our new steel support beam etc
Glad you're okay, Anna! Lead paint is always nerve-wracking. In the US (at least where we live), if you don't disturb the paint (sanding, cutting, etc.), you can just paint over it. Otherwise we require remediation, similar to asbestos. But as our home is over 100 years old, anytime we drill into the wall, we always have to be super careful and clean up immediately. The best was when the house next door to us power washed all the old paint off, it went everywhere on our property amd contained lead. Sigh...
Glad that Anna is OK. Watching the camaraderie is the best, second only to watching handsome Philip demonstrate his expertise and knowledge of all the things.
I am glad you are ok Ana. I live in a 62 year old house that originally had lead paint. It has since been covered with several coats of latex paint and some of some of the original woodwork has been replaced.
Hope everyone is healthy! That’s most important. Just a thought on the niche - we recently put in a corner niche that attaches to the tile with a suction mechanism. One uses a small pump to inflate the suction area and it stays very securely. One can also move it to any spot on any corner without damaging the tile. I was hesitant initially thinking it would not hold well but our plumber convinced me and it has been excellent! Such a funny episode 😂 thanks for the great entertainment.
Anna, glad to hear your lead levels are okay. Along with a suitable place that can be cut out, another consideration for a niche is the direction of the water from the shower head. If it is aimed at the niche, water will gather and get the soap bar soggy and maybe pool a bit. I think niches are very practical. In my opinion, the concept drawing is a little pokey: perhaps a rectangle with the longer edge on the vertical. Great idea to wait till you get the tiles and great advice!
Phillip, you are so funny :). You are both such a great couple - the renovations are beautiful. What an incredible house to call ‘home’ the exterior is stunning.
Hi guys, so enjoying catching up on all your recent vids. Loving all the latest changes and plans and ideas for master suite. Merry xmas to you and your lovely family ❤
It's Distemper (paint), normally the white is just chalk, but it can be lead as it makes the white color pop more. It has been used a lot in the past, especially where it should be a little cheaper since it mostly consists of organic materials. It can be scrubbed off with a wet brush and hard work.
Anna I hope you're okay! I'm glad you knew enough to test it before it had a chance to make everyone sick. I had a solid belly-laugh at the plasterboard fiasco! ah, I commented early in the video. glad to see Anna's blood work doesn't show lead poisoning ~
Je suis à nouveau très impressionnée par tout ce travail. Je ne suis pas capable d’ en faire autant, c’ est sûr, alors… Un grand bravo à vous 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
Wow, this episode was again sooooo funny! The editing you made while carrying this boards upstairs with the sound of racing cars was hilarious! And Pillips measuerment are still on point, hihi! To think of bluring out your faces because of awkardness was the best part! Poor Anna, to deal with all of this ! But in all honesty, Anna, I´m so glad that you are not poisened and hope, the rest of this 22.2 Micro gramm are gone soon! So much progress, and I enjoyed watching so much again! Thank you
My husband no longer allows me to use his tools due to unfortunate occurances involving the cord to power tools. Benoit, you made me feel so much better. You can attach ceramic pieces to form a niche for shampoo etc.
Vincent, you are a saint, working with these two!
😂
😆
😂
Hahaha.. 😅
He fits right in😂
Vincent deserves a raise for all he puts up with 😂🤣 The blurred faces cracked me up
By the time Philipp blurred his own face I was in absolute hysterics. Loved Anna's eye shifting when he asked what the trade would be. She's so funny... they make a great team.
When creating your niche, remember to slightly tilt the bottom of it into the shower so that water doesn't collect in the corners of it.
You have all clearly been lead poisoned, therefore you are not to blame for any of the mishaps. 🥰

Sweating=condensation. Yes, creates noisture and mould.
I believe that is why that wall has the metal studs for both the plumbing and insulation, especially as it is just the outer brick wall. ❤

I was hesitant initially thinking it would not hold well but our plumber convinced me and it has been excellent! Such a funny episode 😂 thanks for the great entertainment.
I simply love the connection between you all 😂❤
Anna, glad to hear your lead levels are okay. Along with a suitable place that can be cut out, another consideration for a niche is the direction of the water from the shower head. If it is aimed at the niche, water will gather and get the soap bar soggy and maybe pool a bit. I think niches are very practical. In my opinion, the concept drawing is a little pokey: perhaps a rectangle with the longer edge on the vertical. Great idea to wait till you get the tiles and great advice!
Happy new year lovely family and thank you so much for sharing your château with us. It is a joy!
Phillip, you are so funny :). You are both such a great couple - the renovations are beautiful. What an incredible house to call ‘home’ the exterior is stunning.
Can't wait to see it finished, it will be beautiful! You are so funny Phillip!
Belle Anna, contente que ta santé ne soit pas à risque. C'est une excellente nouvelle 😅. Toujours enthousiasmant de vous suivre ❤
Love it! You all never fail to put a smile on my face! So much more than a renovation vlog.
Always love the witty banter!
Your videos make me sooo happy! Thanks for making me laugh and teaching me about renovations all at once ! :)
You guys and girl make the best viewing.😂
Wildly entertaining as always, plus making progress with the rooms…it s all going to be fabulous like everything else you’ve achieved
Humility...ah! Yes, that's the right word! Why didn't I think of it myself?
think thats over the top. holy god i grew up painting with lead paint . im alive really
Hi guys, so enjoying catching up on all your recent vids. Loving all the latest changes and plans and ideas for master suite. Merry xmas to you and your lovely family ❤
It's Distemper (paint), normally the white is just chalk, but it can be lead as it makes the white color pop more. It has been used a lot in the past, especially where it should be a little cheaper since it mostly consists of organic materials. It can be scrubbed off with a wet brush and hard work.
Anna I hope you're okay! I'm glad you knew enough to test it before it had a chance to make everyone sick. I had a solid belly-laugh at the plasterboard fiasco! ah, I commented early in the video. glad to see Anna's blood work doesn't show lead poisoning ~
Je suis à nouveau très impressionnée par tout ce travail. Je ne suis pas capable d’ en faire autant, c’ est sûr, alors…
Un grand bravo à vous 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💐
Oh how much we enjoy the banter among the three guys! Love the laughs you give us. Keep up the great work. Blurred faces hilarious
Y'all are so very entertaining and funny! Thank you for making me laugh multiple times.
Looking good! Philip has a lot of patience. I would not be happy with the changes Anna has made after thinking he was finished with something!
Wow, this episode was again sooooo funny! The editing you made while carrying this boards upstairs with the sound of racing cars was hilarious! And Pillips measuerment are still on point, hihi! To think of bluring out your faces because of awkardness was the best part! Poor Anna, to deal with all of this ! But in all honesty, Anna, I´m so glad that you are not poisened and hope, the rest of this 22.2 Micro gramm are gone soon!
So much progress, and I enjoyed watching so much again! Thank you
I’m not surprised there is lead in the paint in this old building. And Phillip, you and Benoit and Vincent are too funny.🤗🇨🇦
Ha ha ha, thank you for making us laugh, we love how you use comedy to entertain us before the square space ad!
My husband no longer allows me to use his tools due to unfortunate occurances involving the cord to power tools. Benoit, you made me feel so much better. You can attach ceramic pieces to form a niche for shampoo etc.
