I couldn’t help laughing, even though a broken sink is not really funny… I love that you and Marc never cease to be so in tune. Juliette is adorable, and Clement an absolute love bug. Sending cheery hugs to you all xx
I just love how Amy laughs at such catastrophes! And cunning Marc, trying to do the whole bathroom!
Who knew changing a sink could be so much fun! Maybe not for Marc, but Amy, you made me laugh! 😄
😂😬
Omg, the dilemma of putting in a sink. It is so wonderful that both of you work so well together. You can't do nothing but laugh about it. I know I would do the same. You two are so loving. Crack on!
I love your honesty… I feel constantly surrounded by people who think a tidy bathroom or pretending to have one is the end and be all of life, thanks for just being normal ❤️👍xx
You guys are hysterical. Marc’s attitude is soo different than what my husband would do in this situation. He is very handy and you are a great assistant. At least you both kept your sense of humor. Good luck in getting it right soon 😍😘
The sink does look very good. So sweet of you two to record this process. So charming you three are!
Marc's Innocent face while describing what happened had me laughing 😃 😀 Kim

Different international plumbing standards are SO frustrating! Great that you both can laugh (to keep from crying)! Good luck finding something at the industrial brocante. Juliette is a real trooper (just like her mum)! 🥰
Thank you Martha!
It's interesting that even in France there are bad Dad jokes. i.e. putting the sink on the changing table because Marc is changing it... I guess it's universal.
If you walk into the bathroom and find Marc with his adorable smile and a disaster all around him, who is going to be upset? I hope you find a solution soon! I don’t think a bit of a messy bathroom when you’ve got two tiny humans to look after all while working and living in a renovation is going to be a big deal. I’m glad you’re not afraid to show us you’re just normal people with a normal, chaotic life. My kids weren’t as close together and I just had flooring done while my youngest was a baby. I nearly lost my mind. 😆
I’m glad you’re taking care with your back. I damaged my back when I was with my 20s then had 3 ten lb babies in my 30s and had hard physical jobs into my 50s. I should not have ignored the pain in my back. Please take care of yourself too! Your kids are so adorable!
Marc’s facial reaction was really funny 😆!!!! The sink must have had a crack that was just waiting to fall Off … 🤔
“We can just glue it back … ‘ was really hilarious 😂
If you decide to have a 2 sink fixture, having a counter or a metal stand would be advisable, for enough support for the long span sink.
I had a big smile on my face for the entire 26 minutes. I am sorry for your sink troubles but it made for a good video 🙂 Marc did a brilliant job with what he had available. You will get it sorted soon. I have faith in both of you!
...not easy being without water; I hope that you have a bit of bottled water on hand. thankfully you both have many and varied talents for survival at the chateau. thank you for updating us. ♥
I just love Marc cheeky grin. My husband has the same one when he wants something. 😁😆🤣
😂😂😂
Adorable 😊
Oh dear, you are gunna need lots of super glue Mark.
Love your banter and Mark's expressions😂😂❤
Marc face is sooo beautifully expressive! Brilliant job.. mishaps and all❤️🙏✌️
This is a MONTY PYTHON episode!! Ha ha!! I laughed over and over!!
I’m so glad!
Thank goodness you both have a abundance of Patience and Humor
It comes and goes to be honest!!!
…and abundance of sinks! 😅
😂😂
Love the interaction between the both of you, so sweet! ❤️
A good sense of humor gets you through so much. Marc's jokes and Amy's laughter are proof of that.
It’s so good that you can keep a smile on your face when dealing with setbacks. You two are lovely! Keep up the good work!
Love ❤ you guys. So much fun watching you. Marc doing better than my husband would do with this dilemma. 😠 😡
I had to cut out a bit of bad language when I edited Judi - he’s not all sweetness and light 😂
I chuckled when I saw the sink in pieces...sorry about that, but you two are so funny together, Marc and his very dry humour .... so funny! That wee daughter of yours is absolutely gorgeous!!!!
I've just giggled my way through the whole video! Between Marc's "Dad" jokes (sink on the changing table) and your "drilling" time, I've been very well entertained! But I do hope the fitting problems get resolved fast, you can't afford to be a bathroom down with 2 littlies in the house! I'm with you about that hessian wall covering Amy, it's definitely a '70s horror! Much love and big hugs xxx
Thank you Karen! I had to be a bit diplomatic about the wallpaper because some people really do like it! But we just can’t bear it!
20:29 “Why don’t we look at the manual?” Lol
The joys of renovation, I know that was not what you were doing in that bathroombut even temporary solution give one a headache. Good luck with your solution. Lana Australia
I've never ever seen a double pedestal sink before! You both take little crises with such humor and good attitude :)
You two are too funny! Or, actually, it's marvelous that with all the frustrations, you can find the humour in the situation.
It’s not easy with a newborn and a toddler and a non functioning bathroom sink! You are both so good at roughing it while renovating the chateau but hopefully, you can get the right fitting. Here in the states our diy stores sell sinks with the counter and an underneath cabinet for storage all in one piece inexpensively. You could get one with two sinks to make your lives so much easier with a family of four. They are not very expensive. I’m sure when you renovate this bathroom down the road you will be able to use the sink/cabinet somewhere else. Just a thought. Fun vlog though, and love how you both laugh despite the dilemma. Hugs to you xx
Poor Mark, he was trying so hard to fix the sink. Love your since of humour. Good thing you can laugh at it or you may cry.
Right on, we know what is like to have the DIY an hours drive away here in western Canada, calls for some planning and/or innovation, great video.
Aww was doing yoga missed the live 😍🧘🏻♀️Amy I just love you and Mark your reaction to the broken sink quite different when my hubby broke ours grrrr🤯 and the master diy he is perfecto another found also that plant lovely pink flowers how exquisite just like our lovely Juliette just precious😍❤️So enjoyable today’s vlog will definitely be here next time Abiento my loves😘😘😍😍❤️😍👌👌Hugs to dear Clement😘
Shame your lovely double sink broke. Now dealing with more issues. Hope it all gets sorted. You both have a great sense or humour and patience. I like Marks facial expressions.
The heating broke down that night too!
@@Chroniclesofrosieres oh goodness.... seems to be a Chateau classic breakdown.... hope all is well now.
Can't stop smiling at the sink antics and Marcs face while attempting to find a fix. I'm sure you'll get there. Love you both and your little family. Good luck xxxx
Oh my, that brings back a lot of memories for us. So glad you can laugh together about the sticky situation..that makes things easier…redoing a house takes lots of patience and experimentation. You work well together it takes “give and take” to make a marriage work. Keep,up the good work. And surely there is a part or two somewhere that will heal that pesky sink.
Sorry could not help laughing 😂😂 out of a disaster you made a brilliant video hope you get it water tight soon Love to you both 💐🍰☕🍰☕
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
YEAH !
Bravo Marc !
A NEW and modern washbasin soon in the bathroom!
You are the best 👌
I ❤ Marc's very French sense of humour 😃
Has to be the most hilarious one yet. Infinite patience amid unparalleled disaster.
Oh my!! Your bathroom stories are really a hoot!!! Marc is a very good sport to smile through this little disaster. I like Marc's idea to go to the river for bathing!!!! Very Green thinking!! The new sink is very pretty. Juliette's sweater is lovely.I look forward to the next exciting video!!!! Love from Vermont
Amy & Marc this hiccup reminded me of the Rudyard Kipling "If".
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same
You seem to relish creating solutions to anything and sharing this shows the public that to be authentic is the key to living a good life.
Hugs to all. 🌞🌞
Thank you Kathryn! You have to laugh really, don’t you? I’m afraid l did need to cut out some of Marc’s rather choice language at one point though!!!
Yes well that is to be expected. A pressure cooker needs a release at times. To laugh together is your release. Together being the operative point. 😘😘😘😘
Sorry but you’ve made me laugh out so loud….bless you both, you’re stars. Those mischievous eyes of Marcs, he can nearly get away with blue murder and what else would you have in a car park other than a spare shower!!!
Oh bless you Marc; i am so sorry one side of your, really elegant ,double sink collapsed. Not at all easy to put a sink in with older fittings etc. in a Chateau but you worked miracles.👏❤ I hope it's okay for a aa long as possible. The wall tiles are very pretty, will you be able to save them when you make your roon changes? Amy, you are positively glowing your skin is beautiful; a lovely English rose. Lovely to have another peek at adorable Juliette. Xxxx❣🤗🌟
Real life- chateau style. 🤣 Thank you.
26 minutes of laughing made my cheeks hurt! Marc tries so hard to say something cheeky to you but then he can't hold back his smile 🙂 and really Marc is much like my hubs when it comes to looking at a manual, I think men think they only add them to the box for decoration. I absolutely lost it when Marc was under the sink and you asked what happened "I decided to change out the sink too" 🙂🙂 Then you started that wonderful laugh of yours, I was on the floor! LOL We're in process of getting 18"+ of snow tonight so I love that I had this video to distract me. Watching the two of you do projects is my fav past time.
Y’all are adorable. Changing table and seal. Lol
i think there was a touch of hysteria in the humour today!
You noticed that, huh?!
I think Marc and Phillp (How to Renovate) should start a building company together. Wont be any profit but would be very funny. Similar sense of humour.
😂😂😂
Your humour is great!🤣
Thanks Adeline!
Amy, Your hair is prettier the longer it gets! The bathroom walls are beautiful!
I am so sorry, I could not help but laugh. 😂😂
The trials and tribulations of Chateau life! Hope you get it working for you soon.
I chuckled 🤭 sorry. Those little jobs certainly are not little (most of the time).
Oh the memories 😇😜❤️
Got my snacks ready and counting down for the premiere!🇨🇦
Hope you enjoyed it!
Oh, I was freaking out for you and then Marc was pretty calm about the catastrophe of the sink being broken. Good thing he has a spare one. Janice from Arkansas USA
Medinilla is the most beautiful flower! Such a striking plant!
You 2 are so funny you make me laugh xx
A couple thoughts that may (or may not) be helpful:
* Teflon Tape to the (temporary) rescue: Use Teflon tape (quite a bit) to bridge the gap between the plastic pipe and the metal pipe. In my case, the possibly 100 year old drainage pipe in my bathroom sink rusted through in two spots - where the pipe screws into the sink, and where the pipe from the wall joins the U-joint. (I was trying to replace the top one and started by trying to first remove the U-joint, which I replaced successfully perhaps 25 years ago when the lower pipe failed). The top gap was perhaps 1/4” on one side. The bottom one slightly smaller. Needing a quick fix until I had a better solution, I wrapped both leaks with a copious amount of Teflon tape. It held… and (like you) not wanting to pour money into something I plan to remodel, I put off purchasing a slightly less temporary solution. Ha - that was a few years ago - the Teflon tape is still working (though I have a plastic container under it as a precaution for when it fails… frankly I think a layer of crud has strengthened my initial fix.
* Sink from coach house: Add a painted piece of thick wood as a backsplash behind the sink. Since the issue is a gap between the back of the sink and the wall (and it looked like the slots for the bottom connectors were just long enough to reach the bottom connection points/screw holes), could you bridge the gap by essentially creating a thicker backsplash, so that the sink sits tight to the wood and the wood tight to the wall? Sorry, my two 100 year old wall-hung sinks have their brackets forged into their cast-iron, so I’m unable to test this for you.
Hi guys, it is easier to fit the trap to the sink first and then adjust the waste pipe to length (longer or shorter by cutting or adding a piece of pipe and straight joiners and glue with the special glue that makes you high lol) as it is easier to get at as it isn't inside the pedestal. I hope you get it sorted, best wishes from north west Ireland.
Marc is that laid back nothing fazes him and Amy well what can I say 😂😂
Poor Marc, what an amazing double sink you lost. It was funny though it’ll get sorted like everything always does.
I know that a broken sink is not funny….but it was a bit of a comedy sketch & I loved that you kept laughing throughout the process.
It was delightfully entertaining!
Hopefully you can get a sink fitted properly in the near future! You handled it waaaaaay better than I would have.
You guys are so fun 🥰
Oh, you two, this was absolutely hilarious..
Oh what a nuisance, oh the joys of home renovations, although if Joy was your first reaction I'd be surprised LOL. Juliette scrumptious as ever! Cheering you on sending out Big Canadian Bear Hugs to you all!
Omg! Thank goodness you're in good mood and taking it the way yours do!
Sooo funny .I do hope your basin is soon fixed.You both deserve your home to be habitable and lovely as you both are.😀
Well that stinks! Mark is giving the hairy eyeball lol. No. You had it right, most of the decor and colors from the 70’s were atrocious! We really failed as a society in that decade. LOL. Well you’re just cracking yourself up! I started laughing because you were laughing Mark was the only one that was not laughing 😂. Instead he was giving the hairy eyeball again lol. Oh what a dilemma the joys of being a Home Moaner Which is almost the same as being a château owner except on a much smaller level. That’s a good thing you guys are talented in so many different areas. That definitely helps
Love your sense of humour!!!
Thank you Judy!
Your ending questions left me smiling. Love you guys.
You two are hysterical
Will be back to see part two Hope everything 🙏 ❤ works out well for you 😊 both
You both have such a sense of humor about the whole thing! You made me laugh. I look forward to the next video on the bathroom saga!!
Hope your problem get sorted sooner than later.
Great team work
You two are funny loved the vlog thanks for sharing
I love the bathroom wall tiles!!
best comedy on u tube!
Great vlog guys, sorry about the bathroom woes but it’s nice to know it’s not just us at the moment x
Penguin sweater!!! So cute!!!
So funny, you both are such lovely couple. Please keep making us laugh. Love watching your blogs. ❤️👍
Laughed at I need a seal LOL! Men and directions also!
It’s a joke I never fail to take advantage of…
You two are a hoot! Let that sink in 😉
Oh GOOD one!!!
I would love your signature music to have a lighter character .the music you have at present reminds me of war and you are such a delightful young family. :)
Sure hope everyone is still ok, missing your blogs.❤️😊
Vlog up tomorrow!
Yes we are here. What a surprise
I was supposed to plan it in but then there was a disaster with the upload. Tuesday is going to be our new video day!
I’m sorry about the sink (also married to someone who has accidents like that), but I love the tiles. Also our internet streaming just died for the day so won’t see Marc’s excellent plumbing skills until tomorrow. 🙄 But so much enjoying this! X
Amy, I think you are hilarious!
OMG….you poor loves!
It was quite the day. Heating broke down too!!!
😂😂😂 Love this! 💜🌼💜
I know I shouldn't laugh but that was so funny! Hope that you get it sorted soon! xx
Have you watched Le Jerome’s channel, from chateau D’Olly in Ardennes. Any time you feel like giving up, watch these guys, they are certainly doing it tough. They have to replace ALL the flooring on all levels and most of the interior plaster work to most walls removed so they can stabilise the crumbling stone work. They also have an extensive organic sustainable vegetable, garden and work day jobs during the week to fund the work. How do they do it? Do they live in your area? The CZcams channel is in French with English subtitles.
I love what you are doing and look forward to each episode, all the best from Australia.
Juliet is SO beautiful! Her eyes are just like Marc's!!
They’re two peas in a pod!
Sorry You Both Amazing Mark Is So Laid back and you laughing It is like Lauren and Hardy the baby is lovely she’is gorgeous 💕👶
we have learned plumbing, especially old plumbing is always frustrating, especially when you're so far away from the hardware store! That's very hard. I know we just replaced the tub at our house and we had to run like four or five times to the hardware store and often they don't have the part you need. Goodluck! It was a very pretty new sink. Sure it will be ok until you find the pieces you need. ...and my cousin was helping, he accidentally ran a screw through a pipe, which caused one of those runs back to the hardware store! LOL
It’s definitely a frustrating factor here! Often though we have good neighbours who have something we might need, which is lovely.
I don’t know if you are on a septic tank, but if you are you can make a mix of warm water yeast and brown sugar to keep your tank working longer .so it doesn’t have to be pumped
Oops!, so sorry, but giggling with you, just have to get on eh? Well done dearhearts
Sorry to hear about your sink....old fitting can be a real problem but Marc will figure it out....
Fingers crossed!
Awww Juliette is so like her papa ❤️
Le petit bébé est trop mignon
