japanese words sound much nicer when you're not just reading it as gold stickage, but yeah mate if you break something precious its probably worth it to order a lil kit and glue it together and apply the gold stuff on top, make it part of its charm y'know, prove to the world that someone loved it enough to fix it
As a plumber I would advise you to remove your taps and seal the holes you drilled in the oak top . When you refit the taps put some sort of sealant under the tap to prevent water getting down the hole . Seal the wood then seal the tap in place . Water is very hard to control ask any boat owner . Love your show , keep up the good work .
@@thirdeyeview1111 I am sure he did that all off camera. I am sure to spare us a lot of cursing when he tries to figure out which way it has to wrap. Wrapping pipe tape is a bit like plugging in a USB plug. You get it wrong 150% of the time.
Michael, your cottage looks so homey and comforting when the yellow glow of the lights shining through the windows lighting the darkness outside. Makes me want to crawl into a couch with a good book, a warm cup of tea and a fluffy soft blanket and read before going to bed dreaming of English gardens. Oh, I live in the USA, a beautiful place in far Northern Idaho just 35 miles from the Canadian Border.
I learn so much listening to Michael explain what he’s doing, products he uses and why he chose them, etc. Who knew the importance of applying a finish to both sides of a piece of wood!
The best thing to do with your AGA tool is to place a hook just for it as close to the AGA as you can while having it out of the way, possibly in one of your triangular voids to the rear sides of your cooker. I learned to install a hook under my sink for my tool I use to remove faucet housings when I had to replace my tool every time.
Thank you for putting out a new video. I look forward to your next one. Please say an extra prayer for America we need all the prayers we can get right now. 💙🇬🇧🇺🇸
I like the fact you show that jobs take longer than expected ! Having to rush off to buy a tool to enable you to fit the taps, and then spending more money on things you happen to find in the DIY shop! That is real life. On the slick chateau channels, everything always happens easily , everything fits first time, and there are never any problems. What you are showing is much better. Keep it real! You are doing great!
Lovely evening scene of the sweet gardeners cottage. Through the twilight you see the warm glow from the windows and smoke coming from the stove, you just know inside the cottage is warm and welcoming. What a lovely sight to see. Much happiness in your gardeners cottage.
Your photos at time stamp 4:23 and beyond are absolutely stunning. I can imagine your water colors with these photos. To die for. I wish I could have you teach me how to use water colors. I do several forms of art work and sold many. I did 3-dimentional paper tole, ink, pencil drawings, and my favorite medium is colored pencil. I also do some acrylic paints but I'm really wanting someone to teach how to do water color. I love your art work and some day I'll buy one of your floral / scenery ones.
If you have access to the Alister Sim Christmas Carol in restored high definition you might see the dinner scene when the bottom of one of the plates shows the metal staples used to mend it which was common because ceramics where so expensive for certain people and I guess there had yet to be a glue developed that would not come undone in water.
Micnael: You have an enormous gift to have a father who can do! My father, God rest his soul, who could do these tasks and always knew what he needed to do. Cheers
Michael make a mosaic out of your special plate and frame it!!! So very sorry that happened. Have had a few of my favorite antiques go by the way with breakage. Devastating and a heart breaker!!! Toodles to the best Channel EVER!!!
Michael, I believe you may not realize the effect the beautiful and sensitive videos around the chateau’s property have on your viewers! With an artist’s eye your videos inspire a sense of peace that is precious. Thank you Michael.
The charm of your cottage has me spellbound! I so appreciate your vision, your amazing variety of skills to bring that vision to life and your willingness to take us all along in the journey! Blessings on you and your family!!
Is there nothing you can't do Michael? How clever you are and handsome and patient and kind...and no matter who in your family has a vlog, even if it is the dog...yours are the best!
I remember the first time you showed us the cottage. It was a mess with the walls crumbling and totally neglected. You said you eventually wanted to fix it up and live there. I couldn't even picture it and thought you were crazy. Then the "go fund me" money came in and you actually got started on it. Now it is stunning. Lots yet to do but what an inviting space, filled with your treasures. Each item full of history. Michael, it is really a masterpiece. Thank you for taking us all on this amazing journey. May this year bring you much joy in your little home.
Wow the cottage is coming along nicely. Good to see Ryan there helping out. You guys are so fun to watch and listen to. Thanks fir the entertainment! Mary
Before you turn the water on, I'd recommend PTFE tape on the tap threads and sealant between the o ring of the plug hole and sink - I learned the hard way and plumber told me to do that after...
The first time you used the osmo product I stopped the video and turned around my screen enlarged as much as I could to figure out what was written on the can. I trusted that if you were using it in the chateau I could use it in my cottage. I ordered it from what seems to be the unique importer in the States and it did not disappoint. It is absolutely beautiful. I got another can and the maintenance products since Osmo is not available any more in the States. The company seems to have been sold and the former owner is now producing a similar product under another brand name "Saicos" which is readily available in the States.
The breaks on the plate look very precise. You could certainly get it repaired. They can perform miracles these days. Some time ago one of the London museums had a catastrophe, an idiot pushed an ancient urn off a balustrade and they were able to fix it, not even a crack showing. For something that matters so much to you, a repair is worth thinking about. Even if it is not secure enough to use again, you could keep it for show and have another one to use. Thank you for the video. I hope that after this disaster you have a fabulous day!
Amazing, Michael! You, your family and friends have worked so hard and the cottage is really taking shape. Bravo! I cannot wait until it is all finished and you can finally live in it full-time 💕
Beautiful photographic introduction shows your artisric talent . Absolutely lovely . As well as being gorgeous the cttage is extremely cosy ............and TT's snoring proves how comfortable your cottage is . Be well , stay safe and prosper .
Make a square box frame, cover the interior with white linen and affix the pieces to the backing. You can join them or perhaps better separate them slightly showing the breaks. Put behind glass and write the story on the back. Hang it on the wall in the kitchen. A conversation piece. Sadly, things break. After my 9 month old pulled a table cloth with all my creamware service I cried then accepted and realized....things break. Glad you were not injured. ❤️
The cottage looked so cosy from outside with the lights on and the Christmas tree in the window. I bet you are so eager to get it finished so you can move in... Xx
🇨🇦❤️Happy new year to you, dear Michael! 🥂🍾 This is another delightful video with so many gorgeous sights outdoors and the beautiful gardeners cottage restoration continuation. It’s even more cosy and warm than I thought it would be. 🏠 Part of me can’t wait until it’s finished, but I also love watching how you enjoy every accomplishment, so I also hope that it takes some time to complete. You take great care to do it properly so the results are better than I could have imagined. Your explanations ensure that we understand and feel a part of the process and that adds more interest to all of it. Thank you so much. (I’m going to send you a photo of Calamity ware and of course it’s not Spode, but it’s delightful and funny, so I hope you enjoy looking at it, even if you never buy any. I think it would be interesting to see how many people notice the difference between Spode and Calamity ware).
I have looked a bit and there are none to be bought. The cottage is really coming together nicely. It is always a good feeling when you put in hard work and come out with a beautiful result. Something you can admire and enjoy for years. 🏠 By the way, the footage of the property in the morning looked majestic. Well done.
You need to add some plumbers putty around the base of the faucets to keep water from getting in and eventually rotting the wood or leaking down the water hose.
just promise that you'll do kintsuki or something to restore the broken plate, and display it somewhere if you dont plan on using it, make it less sad. then some day someone will find a lovingly repaired rare spode plate and its story wont be over
Those taps are superb. Perfect for the sink, perfect for the cottage. The wax finish on the oak is brilliant too - really beautiful colouration and hopefully long-lasting.
Well done Michael, You have your own little peace of paradise, your own little home, comfortable and warm, sorry about the plate but you Will sort it, I have faith in your determination, you are on example to us all !Oh lovely to see gorgeous Ryan, Happy New year to you and your family x🥂
Just a question...in the summer when it's warm ...how will u cook and boil a kettle? Still light the Aga? Wouldn't it be very warm then in the cottage ?
Michael...I so love your vlogs! Love watching the progress on the cottage. The oak worktop is gorgeous and you did a great job of installing the taps...I am quite envious of your kitchen....well done! Rita
I was so excited to see your coal bucket. I have one just like it, we got it in UK back in the 50's. Actually got alot of copper pieces my mom picked up. Need to return the pots & pans though $$.
Just catching up.Satinado Finish and colour are beautiful on the wood,i had all Franke white goods in my Kitchen here in Spain,sadly after 18 years some have died,Your Cottage is going to be so cosy and homely,well done.
Did the same with my unique Booths willow hexagonal trinket dish yesterday cleaned it all then just dropped the bottom and smashed. Urgh ! Going to be looking at getting rid of my big collection of willow this year as well ! X great vlog michael x ❤
YAY we have 'rested/cheeky' Michael back. Loved the wonderful B-roll of the grounds and the magical winter sun light. Looking forward to loads more of 'the same' in 2021. Feeling better already ... thank you Michael x
You remind me of a little girl playing house as you pretend-fill your tea kettle. I remember the play and pride of my first home of my own. I know you’re going to have many years of happiness in that snug little cottage.
Beautiful worktops/cabinetry, and I love your outdoor “winter interlude” section. Cedar of Lebanon is spectacular! My favorite tree. Sorry about your Spode mishap. I collect blue willow too, but a different staffordshire brand. I really enjoy your channel, and wish you the best for your cosy cottage. A lovely, sensitive restoration.
Michael - the cinematography of you vlog is amazing. Your first shot of the, "Next Morning" scene was amazing. Are you shooting those? Whomever is doing you landscape/pan shots is doing an amazing job. Sorry about your Spode plate. Glad to hear you're coming back to weekly vlogs.
Sorry to hear about your special Christmas spoke plate. Quite unfortunate. I pray you can find another one. Stunning early morning photography of the Chateaux Michael.
I’m so glad you’re back, you’re such a breath of fresh air. Considering what happened here in the USA yesterday we really need to be destructed even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Amen.. I am heartbroken, and very angry. This.. Here.. Michael.. Has brought my focus back to me, my house, my roof. This beautiful cottage didn't come easy, and my roof won't fix itself. Carry on, stiff upper lip.. Be easier if it wasn't raining. 🇺🇸

Michael, I'm a restorer, have been doing it for 25+ years. I'd be happy to repair it for you. Let me know.
What a nice offer.
That so sweet of you.
That is so kind!
Dear E Miller --- Yes, let's do this .. you're a team player !
Oh, how wonderful!!
It’s quite a clean break, if you contact Spode they may have conservators who can restore it for you.
There is no Spode in Stoke these days. All are made in far east. So no conseservators.
glue the plate with Gold, it's a Japanese technique I think. looks really nice
japanese words sound much nicer when you're not just reading it as gold stickage, but yeah mate if you break something precious its probably worth it to order a lil kit and glue it together and apply the gold stuff on top, make it part of its charm y'know, prove to the world that someone loved it enough to fix it
Wabi Sabi....
Kintsugi, the art of repairing with gold. Just wanted to advise Michael that.
Great idea. I've seen plates fixed with this method and they are stunning.
B. Alex EXCELLENT idea.
A rubber gasket between the wood and faucet tube would be a good idea to prevent water drippage.
As a plumber I would advise you to remove your taps and seal the holes you drilled in the oak top . When you refit the taps put some sort of sealant under the tap to prevent water getting down the hole . Seal the wood then seal the tap in place . Water is very hard to control ask any boat owner . Love your show , keep up the good work .
Great idea.
Yeah, I died inside a little bit when he didn't use pipe tape. I am going to pretend that he did it off camera so that I can sleep tonight.
I'm so glad you mentioned it! I was thinking the same thing! As well as some kind of sealant between the wood counter top and the sink.
@@AuntBecky1 Yes, that’s what I was thinking. He needs to redo the connections and put some plumbers tape around pipe fittings.
@@thirdeyeview1111 I am sure he did that all off camera. I am sure to spare us a lot of cursing when he tries to figure out which way it has to wrap. Wrapping pipe tape is a bit like plugging in a USB plug. You get it wrong 150% of the time.

That morning view with the gold color is so beautiful
You should get in touch with the BBC's "The Repair Shop " ceramics expert. I'm sure that she could repair the damaged plate.
My wife and I thought exactly the same! We are sure that Kirsten Ramsay from the Repair Shop would be able to do an invisible repair.
I thought the same thing!!
Spectacular. And such a kind disposition. I’m a big fan.
I love that show!!! Yes!
Yes they do perform miracles !
Thank you for putting out a new video. I look forward to your next one. Please say an extra prayer for America we need all the prayers we can get right now. 💙🇬🇧🇺🇸

That sunrise sequence was breathtaking, Michael.
it really was. I think I'd awake at dawn everyday so as not to miss something as spectacular as that!
He is a talented photographer. He seems driven to do everything perfect. Good guy.
I love that little Titi is comfortable snoring makes your home feel homie and lived in ...

Good idea. They got gifted some at lalande and it is so cute as it is not until you look closely you see all the fun characters and vingettes

Something you can admire and enjoy for years. 🏠 By the way, the footage of the property in the morning looked majestic. Well done.
You need to add some plumbers putty around the base of the faucets to keep water from getting in and eventually rotting the wood or leaking down the water hose.
I did varnish the insides of the holes before the taps went on, although some uninteresting stuff like that gets edited out to keep the video moving.
The Oak is just stunning!!!!! Great job getting it all together!!

Sorry to hear about your special Christmas spoke plate. Quite unfortunate. I pray you can find another one.
Stunning early morning photography of the Chateaux Michael.
I think it's interesting how the door to the cottage opens into the space rather than simply out of the way, against the wall.
Yes it’s very unusual. It will be changed at a later date to open the other way or even outwards into a small porch. We will have to see later on.
Love the beautiful sunrise scenes, so peaceful

I promise we already know that the people who cheated approve the results gained by cheating.

What happened in the States is tragic. But, other countries have had far worse civil disorder. We'll get thru 🇱🇷
I am so glad you are back! I always look forward to watching the progress of your cottage. I'm a do-it-yourself type of person...so this is right up my alley! I'm gleaning new ideas as I watch! Much love, Miriam (Georgia, USA)
