I agree about the fireplace bricks - they are a bit imperfect and yet PERFECT! Gill, you and Sammy got on very well together. Roses, nice! You really pushed through Gill and it looks great, can't wait to see the finished end result after the brushing off. You must be exhausted - have a lovely shower.
@tracybush8115 Thank you Tracy. I have made a new friend in sammy!😂 A long hot soak was the perfect end to the day. It is so lovely seeing Bramble come back to life.
A this turned out great, I have to say you are like a comedy duo, I watch and have a smile on my face , and only realise it as it hurts lol. But no well done you will both have a resume as long as your arm by the end of this as well. Ah the flowers Rich just imagine soon enough you will have a Garden full of flowers to enjoy. Hugs to you both xxxx Dede
@TheAwakeningangel Thank you. I am always surprised at how crazy we are when I watch the video back! I am very lucky that Rich surprises me with flowers. I am really looking forward to a lovely garden.
Made a great improvement and I thought it looked really good before! You'll sleep well tonight and probably ache in the morning! Worth it though, give yourselves another pat on the back! ❤ XXX
The fireplace looks really great! There is nothing you two can’t accomplish. That was so very sweet Rich for getting beautiful red roses for Gill. Your channel is really growing. I always enjoy your vlogs. Best of luck to you both. See you later.
@janinevalido You inspire me with confidence! Rich is lovely and thoughtful. We are hoping to get to 1000 subscribers one day🤞Thank you for your lovely words and support.
@@Bramblecottageuk you will definitely get 1,000 + subscribers. You have really grown in a small amount of time. I’m sure your children are very proud of you both.
I think whomever did the bricks on that fireplace had no idea what they were doing I think. So many flaws it could not have been a pro. I think that Helen Keller might have done it. I would have put nice decorative tiles over that brick myself. But like you said you don't sweat some stuff. You did a good job cleaning that grout up though.
@barbarakloise6790 Hello Barbara, thanks for your comment. I celebrated my 60th birthday last week. I looked in the mirror and saw a face and body that is somewhat scarred and flawed...that's what age does for you - things crack and sag and bulge the wrong places 😁- but strange as it may seem Gill still loves me . The bricks are still doing what they were built to do more than 150 years ago so I am more than happy to live with a few imperfections We are thinking about decorative tiles on the hearth as a possible option once the room is nearer completion - let's see what the future brings. Best wishes, Rich
@AlidaLloyd Hello Alida, I hope your weekend is going well. Between the bricks and the floor (I think that's what you mean by "bottom half") we have stone on both sides - we will be cleaning that up and repointing where needed. On the floor around the hearth we have a concrete pad (previously there were concrete slabs seated on it). For this we plan to remove the concrete pad and find a large piece of slate or granite to span the width of the fire (or if we cannot find stone at a reasonable price we may tile the hearth with bright and colourful tiles...let's see😊) Thanks for your comments. Rich
Gill's been busy again and after a long day at work our fireplace is looking great. 😊😊I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching, Rich
Lovely job!
@janeandclementine Thank you. I really enjoyed it.
Great job Gill! I look forward to each episode & enjoy your banter. The flowers were so thoughtful Rich.🥰
@cherylargenziano7475 Thank you very much! We really do appreciate it. The flowers were lovely. I think I will keep him!🥰
Wow…like a pro Gill! 👏🏻😁👍🏻 That was a lot of work and it looks so good! You do deserve a spa day for sure 😁🤗🥰
@murialpack5350 I am sure you know I am always professional!!!😂 It does look good though. I am certainly going to keep hinting about a spa day!😂🥰

Super job. Great work as a team.❤
@Ecuador4Life Thank you. We are a good team. Slightly crazy but good!😂🥰

@user-ix9jo4nv3i I think we are a little crazy! Thank you. I am really pleased with the end result. I was really tired but determined to finish it.🥰

@tracybrown6207 Thank you. It was a good day.
The bricks look great.😊
@ml3510 Thanks! We are really pleased.😊
Wow, Gill! Great job! Was your arm very sore the next day? I hope you get your spa day soon.
@janetrothwell4448 Thank you Janet. My shoulders and fingers were sore but I took the day off. I think Rich might need reminding about the spa day!

Fireplace looks amazing ❤ what are you going to do with the bottom half of the fireplace ? Is it cement or concrete?
