- Hi, welcome to another instalment of the work on renovating our 120 year old house in lower Normandy, France.
It's been a while since I posted as I've been doing lots of little bits and pieces inside and out as the weather permits, so I didn't think I had anything to post until I went through what I had recorded. So here is a video I managed to piece together of our top floor stairs and landing area getting ready for paint.
Loved seeing your hallway and stairs being cleaned and the stain on the floors. Can’t wait to see the bedrooms done. Good job!
You make it look so easy but I’m sure it wasn’t, great work as always.
It was actually quite repetitive and boring, lots of filling and sanding, but good prep work gives a good result so its worth it
What a superb finish. Like it all but especially the steps / stairs. 😊
The treads really did come up very well
@@frenchhouseadventure thanks for that. Couldn’t remember the name “treads” 🙄
Brilliant work.
I wondered where you had gone....but now I know!! Your house looks lovely!!! You have been extremely busy! Keep up the videos!
If you are late to this party...go back and see the original state of this house and how much wonderful work has been accomplished.
This grand ol'lady is looking so much more loved. You are a marvel.
A good watch as usual. Thank you
Made my day to see you'd posted a vid. Worth the wait though, your attention to detail is second to none and it looks great. I'm looking forward to your choice of paint colour.
So pristine and lovely , woodwork and all.
The stairs/floor/lights/walls look great!
Brilliant job!
Thank you for the update...i like the color of the upstair doors...
Well done Alex!! 👏 .. from experience stairwells are big jobs!! 🙈..its really looking great now. Thankyou for your informative vlogs 😊
What a difference…well worth the effort…well done.❤
💕💕
A wonderful video to watch with my morning coffee. I'm itching to put a plant in that window.
I know, it's a lovely deep windowsill.
I did suggest putting a plant or two up there@@frenchhouseadventure
Looking forward to seeing the garden!
Splendid restoration as ever.
Hi, what a job between the first videos and now, as we say in French vous avez des mains en or. It is very long between each video.💯💯💯
Nice job as always😘
very nice!
Great job ,you’re getting the house into such good shape. I wondered if you would try some oxalic acid on that dark section of floor before varnish , it might have helped bleach the wood .
It didn't look that bad until it was varnished. Like I said there is a rug going over it anyway.
Looks great. Are you and your wife living full time there now? Could you do a video that just walks us through all the rooms you've finished. It's been a long time in between some of those rooms to remember. Thanks.
We have been living in France permanently, for nearly three years now. I plan on a complete walkthrough soon
Now that the weather is improving (less rain) it may be time to do some outside jobs.
Oh yes, I've been busy outside too
beau travail
merci
Pourquoi ne pas mettre un joli revêtement de type vinyle style carreau de ciment sur votre palier. Sinon, vous avez bien travaillé.
Mr Houdini is back 😂
Quisiera aportar con este comentario, me gusta mucho el trabajo que están haciendo en esa hermosa casa antigua pero estaría bueno que incluyeran más imágenes panorámicas de la casa,vista desde el exterior(tipo paisaje),también del pueblo...para así cortar un poco con las imágenes del interior y del trabajo...veo en otros canales que si lo hacen y es como más relajante.
Espero que se haya entendido,felicitaciones y saludos desde Argentina .
Gracias por tus comentarios, siempre es un placer leerlos. En realidad, mi canal no intenta ser "un programa de entretenimiento", así que no incluyo muchas tomas de relleno innecesarias, solo me concentro en lo que he estado haciendo este mes.
Lovely job as always. Is it just choosing a colour that's a problem or perhaps the paint quality and cost? A lot of the u-tubers appear to have unlimited access to UK supplies of paint. If anyone heads back to the white cliffs they must all go with everyone's wish list.☺
Cost is the big factor, paint is very expensive in France. We have a trip to the UK planned for next month, some paint may come back with us, lol
Can you open up the stairway so the spindles are open to the room? Looks great as usual.
The whole idea was to keep the areas separate to stop the heat going up to parts of the house we don't use.
Would that be your last room to finish?
The main salon needs work, the small WC is still untouched and the ground floor hallway needs a new ceiling, so it is almost the last room.
Can i ask please. I watched a previous episode where you fixed up a bedroom alcove (previously bathroom), and put in insulation and board. Can this process be used for stone and lime walls? I know breathability is very important but would this still be ok? I ask as your first insulating layer was a foil type layer attached to batons.
To install the foil type insulation there must be a gap above and below the foil, this should allow the wall to breathe. My walls are stone and I've not had any problems so far
@frenchhouseadventure hi, thanks for responding. Interesting. I'll watch that episode again with the view to doing the same. I presume the second layer of insulation doesn't need the gap. You made the process look really easy. Thank you.
