Hanging them in bathrooms is very fun. My father had a friend that hung his PhD in the bathroom so that way he'd know people would read it LOL
A "Leak" book is a very Good Idea.
Then bring in a leak expert engineer to identify current & potential leak sources; & fix all the leaks once & for all.
Oh Dear, it's the Thomas crapper causing the leak!! The crapper leak 🤣 I love Luke's attitude.
I bout spewed my coffee at that one!
Julie, did you get good copies made of those coronation invitations before having them framed? If some water related catastrophe happens and the originals are destroyed, you’ll be glad for the copies.
As for placing them n a bathroom, I actually like the idea. Think about it. That room probably has better lighting than most other rooms. They have the tome to see and appreciate the documents.
We live in my hubby’s childhood home in California. Back in the 70’s, my in-laws had Corrie ten Boom as a house guest for several months. Then my in-laws bought another home nearby where Corrie lived for the rest of her life. She had become a member of the family by love, not blood. She passed away in 1983. The other home was sold, but my MIL decorated the guest washroom with photos of Corrie. I have kept those photos there all of these years, because I love and admire her. I never got to meet her. Hubby used to play chess with her. I met hubby shortly after her passing, but I had read her book, The Hiding Place, and it was one of the few books that made me cry. Over the years I have added to the photos in the washroom. I have added angel decorations. That will be Corrie’s washroom as long as we live there.
My Mum had several of the books of that lady. I never read them but I once saw her on TV. She said she was on the train to the death camp. They weren't told that but they sort of knew. She was 17 and smartly dressed. The train stopped at a station. It was an unscheduled stop. She pushed the door and it opened so she got off the train and walked smartly to the station exit. A young Nazi soldier was stood there. The outfit she was wearing looked a bit like a nurses dress so she walked past him in a confident manner and went to this house where they hid her. I forget the details but I remember that story she told of her serendipitous escape. How lovely that she became a part of your family.
Luke, there are a number of picture hanging tools that allow one to hang the frame on it and then one can push the tool against the wall and it will put a small dimple into the wall that will be the place to put the nail or hook.
Good job, handyman Luke! Teamwork at Mapperton is A+. 😊👋🏼🇺🇸
NO, not the loos! 😫
Well at least you found that crappy leak Luke!! As for the picture hanging, you have done more than I have in my cottage and now I have to make amends there.
One thing though, I think the last frame would have looked betterer on the other wall.
You may get the protocol police on your trail for displaying documents as highly prestigious as historic royal coronation invitations in your downstairs loo! Equally, Alberta might be happier with her wedding photo in a study or library. I used to be a professional picture framer, and a useful rule of thumb is always to use two picture hooks for any frame over 12ins wide. It is guaranteed to keep the picture perfectly level (barring earthquakes!). I'm surprised the framing shop did not supply you with proper picture hooks as these ensure that the pins (not nails) go into the wall at a slight pointing-down angle ~ a much safer way to secure framed pictures to walls.
Picture hooks can cost almost nothing but make life so much easier. Just a little hook with a hole for an angled nail or pin. There are very few wall hangings in my house that don't use them.
It really seems that every pipe should be traced and replaced, with the most important rooms and ceilings protected first.
Great pictures. Here in the U S we have something called Command strips and hold that are used to hang artwork etc without hammer and nail and can be removed without damage to walls.
My mother's maiden name is Baguhn. So close to your last name!
we do have the same in the UK 😅
Unfortunately, they do not always hold over time.
@@luiginayerino592 and they can damage your walls. I've had them take paint off. I'm in Australia.
I like the large Velcro like ones.... Attach to the thing being hung. Then remove the wall side cover, eyeball location, press, and if it is slightly off, just take it off, and shift it slightly to get it straight on the wall pieces.
Good job with the picture hanging, Luke. A tip from someone who used to put at least three holes in the wall everytime I hung a frame -- you can adjust the picture height without moving the nail by untwisting the wire in the back to give it as much slack as you need to hang it lower. Good luck with the leaks!
I hope I'm not being uncharitable when I suggest that perhaps ancient waterworks should be only for display and then there might be fewer leaks.
I do hope the leaks are easily fixed. Happy the items have been framed and have places to call home!
I think Alberta’s picture is hidden down stairs. I think the invitations look good in that bathroom, would have been better to move the old picture that was there. I think the colour engraving is nicer even in the black frame so they should replace the other one. I so enjoy these vlogs.
Picture hanging well done. Hope the leak gets fixed quickly. Luke, what happened to your leg? Hope you’re not in pain.
I believe those invitations should be seen by visitors , so where you found them ! It's too important to be in a loo, my humble opinion of course.
Hopefully you’ll be able to fix the leaks and damage easily.
Enjoyed this episode. Hope the leak is fixed quickly!
Again I think that this picture should be put in the cafe as well. Luke you are doing an excellent job at handling the camera and kneeling the pictures. Way to go You're awesome 💜
I love the idea of a “Leak Book”. Love you both… that house is so large I think you have to walk through daily to check for any changes. Wish you the best on your repares.love all the history you both share. I really like the invitations that you have put up. Luke, you make hanging pictures easy.
Hanging Alberta's wedding picture in the loo... I bet alot of wedding photography ended up near the crapper after a few years! Fabulous channel! Greetings from my Disneyland neighborhood here in Southern California!
Like a lot of weddings end up in the crapper.😆
Oh my, to have such a lovely bath. How wonderful.
Why on earth would you put such cool pictures in a bathroom? Odd.
Everybody's gotta GO, so, off to the loo
Leakerton.
Not sure about a Coronation being in the loo
Greetings from Sarasota Florida
Love the pictures that weee framed. I think it’s a cool idea to put the pictures in the bathrooms. I admit I always look at how a bathroom is decorated when it’s not mine. Yours is especially wonderful. Sorry about the leaks good thing the guys can run fast!
I get the juxtaposition humor. But, I would not be able to hang those precious, exclusive objects in a loo. As an American, perhaps I am too respectful of history, ancestry?
Sorry about the leak. This is a very interesting video. I really enjoyed watching! Alberta's wedding picture is gorgeous! I like your idea of putting pictures in the loos. Love from Vermont
17:27 "They told me you was hung." "And they was right!" - from Blazing Saddles
Old family photos have such charm. I'm glad you celebrate yours. It's good that both Luke and even more so Raymond are calm,almost laid back in the face of disaster or at least troubles.
I hope you can get your leak fixed soon. About ten years ago my neighbour,but not me,fortunately had a leaky roof so I know what it's like. But he didn't have a "stately home full of art treasure" to worry about.
Greetings from Oregon. I hope repairs are quickly made.
Strange that in a house that big you don't have a radio system when working on different levels to communicate or just in general across the estate
The gardeners do! As they are often the furthest away!
Not sure I would have put the invite in the bathroom. But, to each their own
Raymond is the leak detective. Also the hung and hanged explanation was interesting 🧐
Love it, I hang pictures the same way my husband hates it!
Thank Goodness for Raymond.‼️😬
It seems like putting coronation invites in a bathroom is not proper
Love his hanging technique!
Well, Luke & Julie - you do have an interesting technique for hanging pictures, but I'm sure your decorator would have a thing or two to say about it. I just can't enumerate best practices in arranging/hanging art on walls (many rules were broken) ...next time, please ask for assistance! BTW - you're both adorable and hilarious! 😘😂
Why are you putting these important things in the toilet?! Shouldn’t they be in a place where visitors could see them in some sort of sitting room or entryway? It’s insulting to put something in the toilet!
It's wonderful how much you can find on the Internet. I was very disappointed a few years ago when I found my Great Uncle Frank's First World War medals...a week after they had been sold. He was killed in France in 1917.
Personally I would have hung the pictures differently. I would have a dedicated "history wall" where I'd "gallery hang" interesting items, with each item's backstory. I much prefer things "gallery hung" as people will just glance at a single item, unless it is very special, but en masse several ordeinary items get people pausing to look. I suppose, though, that I "gallery hang" because of the amount of items I have to display on the wall; in my sitting room alone there are 32 at the moment, and 52 on the stairs.
That would probably be like the main staircase at Mapperton where lot's of very interesting pictures are hung!
OMG why can't everybody hang pictures like you! They make it so complicated and send up looking awful. Good show 👏
I think those beautiful and historic pictures need to be hung in places other than cloakrooms and loos!
I like the choices of where you hung the pictures. I always try to place hand colored prints away from direct sunlight because I have had them fade over time. Nice work!
You not only have the last Emperor of China Puyi and his Empress consort Wanrong (Xuantong Empress).
Yes,take down the one painting and put up the Coronations ones.
In norway we have the tradition to have pictures of the royals on the loo wall, ( outhouses) in the old days they used papers and magazines as loo paper, but they couldnt possibly wipe their behind with Royal portraits, so they pinned them to the wall, so that is how the tradition started.
Fingers crossed the leak is fixed properly. I am not sure the invitations belong in a loo 🤭 but is up to you x
My favorite book series's main character owns a country house in which he hung a Holbein of Margaret More in a loo. Everyone in the fandom finds this absolutely funny and empathizes with the character who was shocked over a painting of major import in a loo. Now that I see your collection of loo art, I understand the main character's position. 😂
A "Leak Book"?? Luke, as a person who's worked in Emergency Management, on many incidents - (including disasters), you may need to set up a "Leak Incident Command (IC)" post if this keeps up 🤔🤣 💦 ... just sayin' 👀
I was thinking that the coat of arms that was gold-framed could go in Luke's or Julie's office. That is where I put all of our family historical certificates.
I love the “curiosities” in the loo …
Hi,
That water can damaged paintings !
Some of that water can contain acids like bleech, chalk or other things from that ceiling.
Beside the badly painted hands it can get another problem to the painting. 😅
Maybe store it at a safe place. 🤗
You poor petals, what an endless round of leaks.
Please, don't put the invitation on the loo 🙏🏻
If you all are serious about feedback about where to hang the coronation invitations: find another spot that's not near a toilet. Seems rather irreverent to put those in the loo.
I think it’s funny that they talk about where to hang the pictures and then when Luke goes to do it, he changes the locations. 😂
Hahaha….Glad to see I’m not the only one to create Swiss cheese walls!
OMG!! Are you guys out of your freaking mind? That's an invitation to the Queen's Coronet unless I'm totally wrong and if I am ideal apologize. But I would never and I'm an American would never disrespect the Queen by putting her invitation to the cornet in 1959 to in the Louvre. I would think something like that should be hung up right as you come into maperton or even in the cafe.
Leaks are a nightmare
I would not hang the hand-coloured image in a place with so much light. It will fade.
Why not get duplicates made and hand duplicates and keep authentic documents in a safe room? In waterproof containers? At least until the repairs are made?
There is UV protective glass, isn’t there?
Most framing shops use uv protection glass or museum grade glass these days. Especially when framing historic items
The majority of country houses have curious framed pics in loos
Yes looking at the invitations while sitting would be great.
Loos are the best places to hang such things. Visitors find them fascinating!
Aesthetically, I love love love to place framed pics (treasures esp) in the least expected location at an unexpected height…most often lower. But don’t listen to me - I also pull furniture away from walls or corners slightly cock-eyed 👈fav
That said, *yes* to the loo!!!
You’re putting the American Countess in the toilet!???? Poor Alberta!
The other wall would be so much better.
I like the way you hang prints Luke..I do it the same way 🙂
Wow you truly can't be lazy or let go in a place like this
Crapper leak!!!! Well said.
The invitation should not be in the Loo!
Yes, it’s gives one something to read! ❤️ 🚽 Nice job guys!
Top of the frame and top of the door opening to line up 😂😆
Its revenge for calling his hands fish-like. He was like I'll show them!
A metal roof ? They have many styles , and would blend in quite nicely with your aesthetics.
This is only funny because leaks and cracks and explosions and broken appliances are the nature of homeownership. Although our home isn't as grand, we have had to replace floors, roofs, and one time....we had a burst pipe when we were out of town for several months. A worker walked in to see the entire house several inches deep in water with the walls soaking wet. Everything had to be stripped to the studs, but we got a completely remodeled kitchen out of that mess. Anyway, home sweet home. I'm not sure what's going on but halfway through your last few episodes the entire video goes white screen. I can hear but not see anything. What's up with that?
Yes, swap! Hi from Australia 🇦🇺
Oh boy, that is disaster on such precious things
Looks like Luke is limping. Everything ok.
Oh no! Not the crapper!!?!?!?!
Kudos on episode 50
Don't forget, if you can't find a wall to hang something on, there is always the ceiling!
Did you shut the water off?
Oh no! I hope it is fixable 😑
Viscount...don't give up your day job! Picture hanging is not your forte!
I would rather look at a nice detailed picture than a dull invitation whilst sitting down on the private throne … but that’s just me and who am I , right so … all is good
I have bad dreams about leaks in ceilings😶
luke, your left leg is shorter...?
Jeez not easy to deal with leaks, I hate them :))
Yes put the invitations
Pls take that picture off the wall. The guy with the ODD hands,
Hopefully Its not a American drywall, or Alberta and other prints will be dropped on the floor. 😅
Ps, Hung and hanged so funny !
👋🙂
Hang man
Emperor Puyi was China’s last emperor.
Oh,no this is terrible!
Interesting…
Too low!
I suppose the coronation invitations aren't hugely significant, when hundreds of other couples received one as well. But very few of your subscribers or patrons will be invited to Prince Charles coronation, if any. Would you frame and hang a royal warrant prominently?
Thankyou for making the time and effort to share your lives with us.
Don t you think the ancestral Sandwich should be removed from that wall ? Think leak equals water damage and a ruined painting of that very impressive personage. Just joking.
