Oh my goodness, Haley has never had a Christmas Tree??!! Get that girl a Christmas tree, pronto! Make sure you hang her a snoopy ornament on it as well. I have 2 on mine and a Woodstock as well as they were my Grandma’s favorite. Happy Christmas!🎄
I watched you renovate this house the first time and am so glad UA-cam recommended you again this time. Love the house, the island vibes, you two together, all the renovations! Subscribed :)
I think there’s probably a happy compromise with filling just bad gaps in the floor with the sawdust and glue otherwise you’ll never progress out of those two rooms!
@@HermioneChantalI’m pretty sure I’ve seen people mix wood glue and saw dust and then use a broom to fill in the gaps on several construction channels I follow instead of doing it by hand
Hermione, I love the different pieces of furniture you both picked out. They are going to look amazing in the different rooms when you're done renovating..👍👍♥️♥️
Epic furniture buying, you've got some fantastic pieces there. Just living vicariously as I've filled my new (Edwardian) house with vintage furniture. Great to see you back.
I too have been watching you sinse the first renovation on this house, im loving the floors clear varnish not stained they look great , glad to have Hailey join our group, i do miss seeing the pink smeg and you have a toaster in same colour and make dont you ❤
I know you hesitated about the sewing table but think of it that it cost as much as Daiso sponges! I’m hope you will have many happy times! Hermione has mad skills and if you want to fill in the cracks I think you should do it before the house gets filled. Also each of have a space that’s completed and where you can go to feel settled. It’s essential when you are moving in.
I’ve done a few rooms with the sawdust mixed with pva method. If the gap was big I pushed in lengths of twine, using several twisted together if necessary then I filled it using a filling knife. I wiped off the excess with a wet cloth. A large room should take a few hours. It will shrink down a little and only close inspection will show it’s been filled. I had no problems afterwards. I then used something like Danish oil but this may darken the boards which I know you don’t want to happen.
I’m so glad to hear this because I heard mixed reviews online about this method so I’m really pleased you’ve said that. If I decided to do it then 100% I will try this way 🙌
About the floors, to do it by hand filling with a tiny little tool would be probably too much and rhe end desult would be wuite uneven, but what you could possibly do is rent a big sander again, use a finer sanding grid and give all the floors a final sand ( would remove any imperfections but also finish it nicely, then yu could use thst sanding powder with a liquid resin and fill out with plaster finishing tool ( mixture is a consistency of a cream soup and fills the gaps easily), then afterwards give it a quick pass of a sander again and use whatever top coat you are planning to seal and protect the wood. All cracks filled and it is a fay job. It sounds like a lot, but it is using big tools, big ranges etc.
I love the floors! They turned out great! The furniture was well worth the wait! You got some real finds! YAY FOR CHRISTMAS DECORATING! I really really hope that you're able to get Hayley a real christmas tree. I'm glad she was able to talk you out of filling in the cracks in the floor, that would have taken you so long.
Omg stop judging people on a 14 minute video, i wish u both all the happiness in the world,please dont let negative comments get to you both especially when people dont know you both Merry Christmas 🎅
I love the furniture and I was literally shocked at the prices!!!!!!!! It’s going to look incredible white this team of both of you. An update is we finally left the hospital and since we have to stay near by for all the appointments we are staying with his sister ….. it’s sad she is very mean…… her brother has cancer and she is charging 600.00 a month. I come from a family that if my brothers were sick ( like one that had open heart surgery) I would never charge. So I took the first flight out of Portland and in one hour I was being picked up by my son in California. I have not seen him in 4 years on Christmas. I had to do this for me. My partner wanted this for me as well. So here I am I literally slept the first 2 days. Love you both everything is looking great! Xoxo Susan ❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🤗
Susan I am so happy to hear that your husband is finally out of the hospital!!!! That’s amazing news 🩷 it’s made my day to hear that. Im so sorry to hear about the family troubles and 100% agree with you 😪 I’m really pleased you can have some quality time with your son and some much deserved rest! Fingers crossed things get better quickly now that the hospital is behind you 🩷
Very glad your sweet wife reined you in about filling in the gaps in the floorboards lol! I think if it was just a few holes it would make sense, but with a huge span of old flooring like that I don't think the result would be worth the effort unless it's reallllly cold and drafty because of them and would make a difference in your comfort level. Otherwise the gaps are totally 'character' and you should spend your energy and enthusiasm elsewhere. When you mentioned you were considering filling the holes I was like 'oh lord, please don't!' 😅. I think the process would make you miserable and would rather see you two having fun. ❤
Great decision to not fill in all the cracks in the floor! It would probably make it look more finished so the perfectionist in me could totally understand why you wanted to try it, but at the same time you have to decide if it is worth spending so much time and energy on it. Especially if you want to move in there before christmas. I'm rooting for you getting your home move in ready in time for christmas! With the two of you working together it should work out alright! :)
I used the oak coloured flexible floor filler from Screwfix on my floor in the spare room and landing, but it's nowhere near the scale of these 2 rooms! The pain in my arms from the caulk gun was awful. I've seen people use jute rope to fill big gaps but if they aren't draughty or problematic then Hayley is right, why bother?! It's a huge task, take it from someone who's been there, done that, and needed a deep tissue massage to relieve the pain 😂 If you plan on redecorating the stairs and landing, give it longer than you expect. Im a month in now and had a bit of help but wow, the scale of that project actually completely blew my mind. Why do we do this to ourselves?! ADHD renovating for the win 🎉
I needed to hear this as Hayley had to get a deep tissue massage when we moved into our last apartment from all the lifting of boxes and I think we would be miserable if we landed ourselves in that position again 😂 the caulk gun is such a nightmare I dread to think of using it on the whole floor!! Good luck finishing your project! I don’t know why we do this to ourselves but it’s so worth it in the end 😂
I own a Victorian in California and am looking for inspiration from you ladies. Haha about the cracks! I thought you’d have some air conditioning from the basement keeping them. 💨
I am glad you didn't fill the floors. I am afraid you did they wouldn't look aged, which for me is the whole point of living in an old house; however, you should do what makes you happy!
Love the warm white, light floors, mid century modern look.. a new more sophisticated mature you! Although I will miss your "pink" even though I personally do not like pink 😂. Hailey is really settling in to you tube life😊. Once you have finished the house and garden.. I think you two should do a van conversion and go traveling around the UK a bit. Do you know the you tubers "Camper Vibes"?.. love those girls... they did van life and now bought a derelict cottage in Irland to renovate and "KingingIT" did the same, but they bought a derelict house in Scotland. Ps. You must move in so Hailey can have her first Christmas tree.
Thank you! 😃 I miss the pink too but I have snuck in a pink couch and will be bringing back a pink fridge 😂 so I felt like the door had to go haha! Omg I would loveeeee to do up a van that would be so fun! Maybe that’s on the cards in the future 😍 and I’ve never heard of those channels but I’m going to check them out as I love that kind of stuff, thank you for the recommendation Merry Christmas 🎄
@HermioneChantal Merry Christmas to you both in your new joint home and to your fur babies and Nan. Yes they are great channels.. been following them about 6yrs now, around the same time I started watch you. Ps. Glad the pink couch and fridge will make a comeback.
I didn’t really celebrate Christmas growing up. Sometimes I went to my aunt’s house for a holiday dinner, or I’d go to a movie with my mum. It’ll be fun having one this year with Hermione ☺️
I am glad to see you back. Your wife comes across as critical of you and it feels uncomfortable when watching your videos. Perhaps it’s misplaced humour but it is not coming across well. Good luck with your renovation.
Hey! Hermione is an absolute GENIUS and it’s been amazing seeing her handywork! Never trying to criticize her, always just trying to support her and help her. She does so much, I just want to make sure she doesn’t do too much and feel stressed. Sorry if it came across any differently than that!
Pleaaaaaaaase look into turning off the auto language translation - i already changed the language to English in my settings but i guess due to my location it still starts the vids with that creepy ai voice in german 😢 i can switch the language but i cannot think of anyone actually enjoying that horrific translations
I just noticed this week that UA-cam has been doing that on my videos! I’m so sorry I’m going to figure out how to turn it off. It sounds like it is so annoying 😭😫
I’m sorry about the audio, although I don’t hear the issues on my end very well, I’ve tried so many things in Final Cut to make it sound better. I will be trying lapel mics in the new year as I don’t want to discourage anyone from watching. Thank you for the feedback!
It doesn't bode well. Therapy would be a great idea, especially in these early days. The relationships that stand the test of time are the ones where the partners are cheerleaders and show curiosity and interest in their partners ideas and decisions.
Can't you see Hayley is supportive and understanding of someone who has ADHD and sets herself goals that are far too big? That she cares enough not to let her wife drown in her own enthusiasm?
I did not feel that at all. I thought Hailey was very sweet and obviously very much invested in the relationship and I’m happy for Hermione and Hailey that they are together and enjoying themselves.
Her wife was pointing out how time consuming a project would be. As a married couple that’s totally reasonable and helpful to have someone who brings you back down to reality when you need it. Stop judging someone’s relationship based on one interaction you saw on the internet 🙄
"I wouldn't give myself a record deal, but a pat on the back would suffice" had me CACKLING
Osni, It is so nice to see how happy you two are together. What a lovely video !
Hoping you and Haley get your Christmas tree. It's great to see you make a home together. ♥️
Hayley is a great addition to the channel! I'm excited to watch your progress!
Thank you so much 🩷
Really admire your determination to get those floor sanded. Great job, Hermione! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Oh my goodness, Haley has never had a Christmas Tree??!! Get that girl a Christmas tree, pronto! Make sure you hang her a snoopy ornament on it as well. I have 2 on mine and a Woodstock as well as they were my Grandma’s favorite. Happy Christmas!🎄

Those floors are so amazing all sanded! I hope you never stain them.
Finishing one room at a time is ideal.
IM so glad you came home/for sure/you are doing the floors great/i hope
Hermione, I love the different pieces of furniture you both picked out. They are going to look amazing in the different rooms when you're done renovating..👍👍♥️♥️
Hayley is adorable and you two make the cutest couple. Carry on Hermaine I’ve been a subscriber since 2019. It’s been so much fun.
Thank you soooo much 🩷🩷🩷
Yay, you guys are doing great!! I love love love seeing you renovate the house together! ❤

Pink fridge and matching toaster are coming soon 😉
Hermione, I loved watching you renovating the house after you bought it! I love it even more, now you're doing it together
wow thats wonderful furniture. And the prices are phantasic. Love the process of you making this your home as a family
I know you hesitated about the sewing table but think of it that it cost as much as Daiso sponges! I’m hope you will have many happy times!

Hermione is so skilled and clever! She’s truly so amazing and it’s awesome to see her in action!

Holy cow, I wish we had thrift/charity shops that had steals like that in San Diego. We either have nothing good, or it’s outrageously priced.
Same here in Canada! Too expensive or junk!
Aww it’s going to look amazing, so excited for you both xx
Seriously good furniture finds!
About the floors, to do it by hand filling with a tiny little tool would be probably too much and rhe end desult would be wuite uneven, but what you could possibly do is rent a big sander again, use a finer sanding grid and give all the floors a final sand ( would remove any imperfections but also finish it nicely, then yu could use thst sanding powder with a liquid resin and fill out with plaster finishing tool ( mixture is a consistency of a cream soup and fills the gaps easily), then afterwards give it a quick pass of a sander again and use whatever top coat you are planning to seal and protect the wood.

Well done! It’s beginning to look like Christmas…might be cosy!

Thank you 😃 I’m so glad they’re finally finished! Even though we didn’t fill the cracks 🙈 🩷
You doing a tremendous job remodeling your home. It's going to look so swell!
I LOVE the furniture! 😍😍😍 Especially the dressing table with the mirror and the bookshelf! 😍😍😍
You both some really lovely pieces of furniture.🥰🥰
You two have quickly become one of my favorite UA-cam couples!
🩷 this comment made us so happy!! Thank you
The floor is gorgeous...when the sunlight hits?! STUNNING!!! Great job
That was my favourite part too!! I was like “let me get my camera the sunlight is coming in” haha
Beautiful pieces of furniture!
Omg stop judging people on a 14 minute video, i wish u both all the happiness in the world,please dont let negative comments get to you both especially when people dont know you both
Merry Christmas 🎅
🥰☺️
You could try a clear/black/brown ..silicone between gaps..helps with the freezing drafts😂
Love your channel ❤🎉🥰
The drafts are so bad 🙈 I will have to revisit it before next winter 🩷
I say yes !❤

It’s all about priorities… Christmas tree #1, painting eh, it’ll get done. Get shaking cuz it’s the 18th! 🎄
Right?! Christmas tree is #1 on the list
Please update us if you reach your goal with a Christmas tree in your home. Congratulations on your first Christmas as Mrs. & Mrs.
I own a Victorian in California and am looking for inspiration from you ladies. Haha about the cracks! I thought you’d have some air conditioning from the basement keeping them. 💨
U guys r so adorable!! Where r the doggies!?
They’re here too 😊 getting settled and enjoying their new life!
I am glad you didn't fill the floors. I am afraid you did they wouldn't look aged, which for me is the whole point of living in an old house; however, you should do what makes you happy!
Wow you scored in the furniture department those pieces are expensive bought from actual pre loved furniture sellers

Getting there...........
Christmas tree, working toilet, locking door, mattress and a blanket. How much more do you really need……
And the dogs! And that’s it 🥰
Oh! How are the dogs doing at nan’s? ❤️
They’re loving the garden and begging Nan for bits of chicken 😂 life is good for them at Nan’s I don’t think they will want to leave
You keep mentioning The Island. Which Island?
@Housewarmin . Ju Ju Island South Korea
@@lpetcoff.designs They live on the Isle of Wight
It's the Isle of Wight
The Isle of Wight in the UK 🩷☺️
You can’t keep spiders out. It even mice, actually.
As long as they eat the flies they can stay 😄
💖
How come Hailey never had a Christmas tree 🎄 before?
I didn’t really celebrate Christmas growing up. Sometimes I went to my aunt’s house for a holiday dinner, or I’d go to a movie with my mum. It’ll be fun having one this year with Hermione ☺️
I'm super happy for both of you! Hermione please what color do you dye your hair with??
There’s no good reason to fill the cracks in the floor.
I like this comment because it’s deterring me from actually doing it 😂 I need to hear that
I wish it would be more of you 'solo ' in the videos.
too white, hospital white
