Thank you for sharing this. Seeing what's needed to turn a vacation property into a full-time home is great. The new cabinets are going to be beautiful.
Yay - glad you are staying as we get to see the reno, and you are so honest with the pluses and the minuses….. keeping it real. Of course sending positive vibes for all pluses and zero minuses 🤣🤣. We demoed out floor tile in our current home - hell on earth. Chips flew everywhere and horrible dust. Wise to pay someone. Looking forward to sharing the experience. I was admiring Max’s sandals - they look very comfy, just what I need.
GLAD YOUR STAYING AN ITS GOOD THAT YOU WILL GET IT DONE IN 2023 . LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THE WORK . GLAD THE ROOF IS DONE AN THE GUTTERING GOOD SUGGESTION ABOUT MOVING FURNITURE UP STAIRS OR THE GARAGE 👍👍👍👍
Watched loads of your vlogs but this is the first time I’ve commented :) Cleveleys is where I grew up! ❤️ Left when I was 18 with the family & moved to Australia. Glad you’re going to get your a/c fixed. I couldn’t live without it! Love the colour of the new kitchen cabinets :) look forward to the reno vlogs.
Glad we just tiled all the bedrooms as we were thinking of wood floors. What a nightmare. Might as well stay after spending all that money as you might move and find problems with new place. Cabinets nice colour but no idea what a shaker either. The wall tiles exactly what we have in our new bathroom
I think you have a beautiful house and it’ll be lovely staying and doing the work. The cabinets and work tops are perfect. You have a great relationship. Love the banter. Very British 😂.
Glad you are staying. We just finished a kitchen renovation..gray cabinets and quartz. .wish I could send a picture. It was a long process but so worth it. My husband did the kitchen demo himself and saved some money .it wasn't that hard to do.
The big thing for us in the floors that will have to be Jack hammered to remove the old tile, then leveled with concrete . Thought it easier to let them take the kitchen out as part of that process
What a lot of upheaval for you both but it will be amazing when it’s done . Love you two, you are both so genuine. Hope they don’t touch Mrs B’s Epcot wall, woe betide them if they do!
As you say make it a 2023 project....you have marked it all out, so its creep and go for a while til its all completed...if it gets too much, there is plenty of entertainment around to take a break....the very best of British luck. We did major work, while covid was on and we couldn’t travel. it was the perfect time to get it done
Sensible choice staying put,glad to see the back of those pillars ,liking the fact you’re going for a lighter kitchen rather than the dark wood that I personally think shows it’s age too soon, you need a light airy feel for the flooring the wood flooring too dark,now all you have too do is schedule the work with The Lodge Guys next visit
Hello 😊I’m a new subscriber and just wanted to say that your kitchen is going to look amazing with those cabinets and beautiful marble worktops ❤ think you’ve made the right decision to stay as you sound excited planning all the updates you’ll be doing in the house over the next 12 months. You could plan a little trip whilst the floors get done 😊
Glad you are staying, really interesting how things are done over there, just one complaint, after seeing what Mrs Bazza has chosen for the Kitchen her indoors has now decided that we should do the same to our kitchen so thanks a lot, ☹️.
Hey. Love your choices guys what a nightmare re floor. Shouldn't they refund you as its not fit for purpose! Kitchen going to look amazing xxxx love you guys 🥰❤😘
You do know you could keep the house, make it an airbnb, and still move to a new home. The housing market in FL is so tight right now, but since you are so close to the parks, you could get your mortgage in one week. That would enable you to move somewhere else. Heck you could move to another state, like Hilton Head.
I love your home as it is but can't wait to see the incredible transformations ahead. Love that you are staying put and investing in this gorgeous home, how exciting. Good Luck. 👍
I'm sure we don't live to far from you..we moved to the USA in 1999..we moved to our Florida home 5 years ago..we got it in 2003..not sure I could do a large upgrade now..we may wait till everything comes back into syle..😂😂😂..I was watching storm videos and heard an English voice..so stopped to watch..everyone we know are American.. I don't think there are as many Brits here as there once was..before we moved here full time there were a lot of British here..I think we scared them away...😂😂😂😎
We do have Brit’s across from us and crazy Scottish Neighbor close by but the only other British accents we hear are in the parks typically. Did your house come with those Greek Pillars ?
@@ThemeParkBazza no..our house is more the Villa type..it has very high ceilings..we are on 27..so most likely only near you because you are within the Disney circle😀
Great to hear that you have chosen to stay. You live in a great area! Look forward to seeing how the project goes through 2023! - Are the flooring company going to give you any refund / partial refund?
Love your vlogs 👏can I ask quick question on copyright via music , our 2 nd vlog as been taken down , we inserted some entertainment with them doing Micheal Jackson and Queen impersonators , we didn’t do full songs , but have been taken down , some vlogs I’ve watched show shows with music and seem to be acceptable , hope it’s ok to ask you😊❤
I pay to use uncopyright music from Epidemic sound. If you use copyright music for more than 8 seconds you will get dinged. Either have to use clips less than 8 seconds or not monitors the vlog
After going through all of this with painters in the past, I suggest you specify the paint brand and the specific paint itself within that brand in your painting contract or even better, I would just get a labor only quote from the painter and then meet him at a quality paint store (i.e. Dunne Edwards) and purchase the paint yourself (using his discount). A lot of of painters will use cheap inexpensive paint or water it down to make more money for themselves. A big painting contractor won't do this and that's one of the reasons they're more expensive. The better paint will look better and last a lot longer.
Do you have a crawl space under your house? I thought most houses in FLorida were on a slab. If it is a slab then they shouldn't have put down plywood. What they should have done was pour a liquid concrete leveler and then put the floor down. If you do have a crawl space, then either the plywood was no good or they didn't glue it and screw it down properly. I'm sure there's a ton of moisture under any house in florida.
No we do not have a crawl space Darlene so I think you are spot on that the moisture under the house is warping the plywood. The only proper way to do it is to demo the old tile, liquid concrete to level it all then tile on top……which I’d exactly what we are doing. Of course now is the time to replace the kitchen if we are going to demo the whole floor
@@ThemeParkBazza Oh my goodness. I am so sorry this has happened to you. Everyone, and I mean everyone, knows that you don't put plywood down under on a slab and put flooring on top of it. I'm sorry to say this but what idiots are these people? They should have come in and poured a liquid concrete leveler on your floors. Gravity moves it to where it needs to be and your floor comes out all level. Then you can either choose to put down a moisture barrier or let the glue act as a moisture barrier. I went along with the guys who did my floor and let the glue be the moisture barrier. I hesitated, but I went with what they recommended. It's been a couple of years. So far so good.. I live in the South but not Florida. I've heard of really bad Home Improvement companies in Florida that don't know what they're doing. You've just made me realize that these stories are true. I don't know what you can do. I would hate to have that particular company come back, but what else can you do? Maybe you can call the Better Business Bureau and see what they suggest. I mean... EVERYONE knows you don't put plywood down on a slab floor. What were they thinking?!!!!
Sorry. I had to go back and correct my talk to text. Sometimes what I say doesn't come out correctly in text. I didn't add that I put the vinyl plank flooring down on my floor. Vinyl plank is possible in Florida, but not the way they did it. Yes, Tile is better, but vinyl plank is not impossible. You can get porcelain or ceramic tile to look like wood. Those are really pretty.
I just wanted to clarify what I said. When I said that everyone should know not to use plywood, I meant everyone in the industry. I didn't mean everyone as in every homeowner. Of course that's something homeowners won't know until we learn from having had the experience. I didn't want you to think that I was saying that you should have known. I just hate so much that this has happened to you. I don't like it when people are taken advantage of whether done purposely or through the contractor's stupidity. Again, excuse the use of the word stupidity, but I'm just so angry about what they did to you. I hope you can at least get your money back from them. That's probably about the only thing you can do right now is to demand a full refund and I would ask them, nay demand that they take it out and do a full cleanup or threaten to take them to court. Then, find a better contractor. You may have better luck with using the tile store's installers. Use a reputable store that has been around for a long time and has their own installers. Good luck with this.
Is there a reason you guys can’t paint the outside or does it have to be done by a professional. You seem to have done a great job doing wallpapering to the house hence me asking . Hopefully your AC will get sorted .. whatever the problem !!
A few reasons, it’s too darn hot , I don’t have all the ladders and gear you need, I would also need insurance and need to pull permits from the local council . Not just a easy as getting a brush out and starting
Click bait is when your Thumbnail or picture has nothing to do with the vlog, you are tricking ( baiting ) people to click on the vlog. I simply pointed out if they watched the last home vlog we posed this very question to our viewers and we finally made the decision, so no it is not click bait.
Hiya 🤗 I think you have a lovely house - I hope they don’t do anything to Mrs Bazza’s Epcot wall 🫣 Good luck with it all, I can see you have a vision in mind, it will look even more fab once everything you want is done xx
Thank you for sharing this. Seeing what's needed to turn a vacation property into a full-time home is great. The new cabinets are going to be beautiful.
We hope so Claire
I love the color of your cabinets and your kitchen is going to look so beautiful and the floor already does.
Thanks, Norma. We love both the cabinets and the floor
You guys are a wonder couple, so happy and clearly best of friends xx
Thank you Faye x
Complete nightmare with that floor. Hope things progress nicely with the renovation and the organised chaos 😄
Yay - glad you are staying as we get to see the reno, and you are so honest with the pluses and the minuses….. keeping it real. Of course sending positive vibes for all pluses and zero minuses 🤣🤣. We demoed out floor tile in our current home - hell on earth. Chips flew everywhere and horrible dust. Wise to pay someone. Looking forward to sharing the experience. I was admiring Max’s sandals - they look very comfy, just what I need.
They have been told one rule…no damaging the wallpaper or Max will ave em
Just watched again , think you’ve made right decision staying , hope it all goes well , can’t wait see the finished result 😊❤😊
Love the kitchen cabinet choice Mrs Bazza! Going to look fab when everything is done 👍
Thanks Sue
I think staying is smart, you’ll love it when it’s done! Can’t wait to see the changes!
We think we made the right decision
Really looking forward to seeing all your lovely home improvements. Best of luck with it all xx
Thank you
That's when I followed ye first, when ye where doing up the house to move in, so I cant wait to see the new 2023 updates...
We will post them as they happen Sonya. Just recorded another update today that will go out in a couple of weeks
GLAD YOUR STAYING AN ITS GOOD THAT YOU WILL GET IT DONE IN 2023 . LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THE WORK . GLAD THE ROOF IS DONE AN THE GUTTERING GOOD SUGGESTION ABOUT MOVING FURNITURE UP STAIRS OR THE GARAGE 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Carol
Another great video! Thanks for all of the content :) ~Chewy
Our pleasure!
Glad you decided to stay. Once it's all completed, it will be like your in a new home. Can't wait to see it.
Thanks , going to take a while
Watched loads of your vlogs but this is the first time I’ve commented :) Cleveleys is where I grew up! ❤️ Left when I was 18 with the family & moved to Australia. Glad you’re going to get your a/c fixed. I couldn’t live without it! Love the colour of the new kitchen cabinets :) look forward to the reno vlogs.
Thanks for commenting Leslie, we get back to Cleveleys once a year to see my parents, Reno vlogs will start soon
So excited for you Happy for Mrs B as she will fix it just the way she wants look forward to the renovations
Thank you Cindy
Can’t wait to see what it all looks like when it’s finished! Xxx
Same here Vicky
Glad we just tiled all the bedrooms as we were thinking of wood floors. What a nightmare. Might as well stay after spending all that money as you might move and find problems with new place. Cabinets nice colour but no idea what a shaker either. The wall tiles exactly what we have in our new bathroom
Yes in for a penny on for a pound really
If you have a nice house in a good area it makes sense to stay where you are. But you do what's best for you!
We were not sure but did the sensible thing and had a cup of tea and thought about it......well a 6 month long cup of tea 😊
I think you have a beautiful house and it’ll be lovely staying and doing the work. The cabinets and work tops are perfect. You have a great relationship. Love the banter. Very British 😂.
Thanks Gilly

Love that British couch. You two must be restless people. In 1 min 30 seconds, you changed a lot of positions...🤣
Editing out all the boring bits Norma
Love your home but it’s going to look amazing when you have finished great choices Max
Thanks Martha, we will keep bringing updates as things happen
What a lot of upheaval for you both but it will be amazing when it’s done . Love you two, you are both so genuine. Hope they don’t touch Mrs B’s Epcot wall, woe betide them if they do!
Maxine told them they are dead if they do :-)
It will be great to see your house when it's finished but you have a lovely house anyway
It will be a year away before it’s done
Glad you’re staying ! We just moved in and have a window company come out. Hoping that will help keep cool in.
LOL loved the lizard for Nick :)
See I am caring lol
@@ThemeParkBazza lol very thoughtful indeed ;)

Hi I was thinking the same taking your furniture upstairs .lv your home .
We hoping we can make the Garage work
Shaking Stevens now that a blast from the past ...Happy memories

Glad you are staying, really interesting how things are done over there, just one complaint, after seeing what Mrs Bazza has chosen for the Kitchen her indoors has now decided that we should do the same to our kitchen so thanks a lot, ☹️.
Sorry about that Richard. Use my excuse that we can't afford it yet. That has just bought me 2 years of saving time :-)
Hey. Love your choices guys what a nightmare re floor. Shouldn't they refund you as its not fit for purpose! Kitchen going to look amazing xxxx love you guys 🥰❤😘
Thanks Hilary x
Have you seen the price of gallon of paint. It's costing twice as much from Several years ago. Love your fun video!!!
Oh yes, we have been saving up for two years to do this and we will only be able to afford half the things we planned this year
Love you guys, always so happy to see new vlogs xx
Thanks Faye

Our area does not allow short term rentals , minimum is 12 months . Which is one reason we like the area , it’s all residential.
Do love your Epcot wall ❤️
So do we
A blustery day in Cleveleys lol I love a day out in Cleverley's
So do we Joanna
Wow lots going on with the house again and lots of $’s!! Xx
Yep, but we have been saving up for two years so we can do it without going into debt xx
Great vlog...I bet all this doesn't come cheap....lol...
Nope but we have been saving for two years so we have money in the bank to do this phase
I love your home as it is but can't wait to see the incredible transformations ahead. Love that you are staying put and investing in this gorgeous home, how exciting. Good Luck. 👍
Thank you Kerrie

Nope , but we will reuse the floor upstairs in the bathrooms
I would suggest they haven’t put a big enough expansion space around the edges of the laminate, heat and moisture has caused it to lift,
There is enough expansion room, it’s the sub floor that is warping
That floor is shocking hope they sort it for you

The HOA insiste on the brand of paint we use and color choice (Sherwin Williams ) there is no other choice for the painters
@@ThemeParkBazza, wow I never belonged to an HOA but I guess that's one plus to belonging to one. Good luck with the paint job.
Think you’re both too invested in the house to walk away now, hope it all works out ok and I hope for their sake… they don’t mess up the Epcot wall 😳🤣
Max will kill them if they do :-)

Hello ❤
Hello Tayra
Please don't take this wrong but better thee than me! 😉
Don’t blame you, it’s going to be a long road ahead
Forgive me but I am 50...someone further down wrote click bait...What does that even mean Bazza?.
Click bait is when your Thumbnail or picture has nothing to do with the vlog, you are tricking ( baiting ) people to click on the vlog. I simply pointed out if they watched the last home vlog we posed this very question to our viewers and we finally made the decision, so no it is not click bait.
Carnt you just move your furniture upstairs , save money on storage… I’m glad your stopping.
We are thinking of putting it in the garage and moving g the cars out
Think i would do that live upstairs for a bit and move furniture to garage
Hiya 🤗 I think you have a lovely house - I hope they don’t do anything to Mrs Bazza’s Epcot wall 🫣 Good luck with it all, I can see you have a vision in mind, it will look even more fab once everything you want is done xx
They will be dead if they touch that wall ‘ Maxine’s words :
