    I will admit, I have had to eat my words from the first time you showed the mess that it was. Bordeaux should be paying you from reclaiming this house

    Such a relief to hear that you have been giving your back an opportunity to recover, Edd. We do appreciate the thoughtful update on the impressive stone work progress. It looks amazing. Will definitely enjoy seeing the actual process in the section on the side that you have intentionally left to share via video. Compliments, as always, to your trusty collaborator, skiiled videographer and editor, Anna!
    The work accomplished indoors is striking. Cyril is doing a fine job on the drywall. The bathroom adjustment explanations and even the forgotten provision for the waste pipe from the upstairs shower add a glimpse of the realities we all bump up against in the course of complex projects. When you reveal those encounters/experiences in the midst of your vlogs it elevates the admiration I already have for your humble transparency and integrity. Heartfelt thanks!

    Everything looks great. The house has gone from the worse in the neighborhood to the best

    • @judithburke1539
      @judithburke1539 Před 20 dny

      Does that mean that the towel rail will be across the room by the sink rather than outside the shower? That doesn't seem to be very logical.
      I might have missed something, but being able to reach a dry, warm towel after a shower seems better than having to walk across the room.

    @kittonsmitton Před 21 dnem +13

    Anna and Ed my I suggest you do a banister around the top of the stairs to keep the upstairs hallway as light and airy as possible?
    I may have miss understood your intentions to put up a wall along the corridor along the stair side, I think a beautiful natural Oak balustrade would bring warmth, Osmo'd of course. Perhaps an antique Wrought Iron railing to continue the feeling of history in keeping with the beautiful warm stone exterior.
    Love the build 'Crack On'

      I totally agree!!!!

    • @synicyst9925
      @synicyst9925 Před 21 dnem +1

      This is exactly what I was thinking. Shutting it in as Ed described would make it dark and small. But your suggestion would be light and open.

  • @SweetOne.
    @SweetOne. Před 21 dnem +19

    Cyril is doing a nice job inside. Love the rendering and stone work you did outside, The neighbours will be happy about it as well. Squatters can't get in now either, that's a worry gone.

    Edd,Anna my darlings. The house is coming out beautiful. You are close to completion. Lucky is who ever gets to rent it. Edd I hope your back gets better. Until next time. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🕊🙏❤️🌹🌞👍😇🇺🇸🌈

  • @beverlyshaw7434
    @beverlyshaw7434 Před 21 dnem +14

    You have more than increased the value of the house but also enhanced the neighborhood! It's going to be "tres chic"! I can now see your vision of what you planned. You are an ultra talented "genie architectural" Ed!

  • @thoml1846
    @thoml1846 Před 21 dnem +16

    Ed, maybe rethink your idea of the towel rack next to the toilet. Every time you flush it the vapor spar can go up to six feet from the toilet, not very sanitary.

    • @wendyrose8430
      @wendyrose8430 Před 21 dnem +2

      I don’t know what your reasoning is but I think it’s nice to have the towel rail heated or not near the shower .

    • @sandrac3517
      @sandrac3517 Před 21 dnem +11

      And for that very reason you should always put the lid down before you flush.

    • @skylineindie
      @skylineindie Před 20 dny +2

      exactly. and anyone who has ever shared a bathroom with a man knows that quite often the aim is terrible. soooo many people don’t close the lid before flushing. nasty. i prefer not to have to cross the room and drip all over the floor just to retrieve my towel.

  • @CJNine

    Better to be the conceptualizer, planner, and supervisor than to totally ruin your back Edd. Enjoyed the vid.

    No problems Edd... I do 100% understand about your back... don't overdo it... I've been there... you are doing a grand job. But your health comes first... always. The building is looking wonderful... I'm sure all the neighbors are super happy to have that eyesore fixed and looking so grand!

  • @teepeeX
    @teepeeX Před 20 dny +4

    Ed, as a chronic pain person, I can understand about back. I have prolapsed discs, and at any time, it could paralyse me. Whilst I'm still walking, im not taken a chance with surgery.. take your time to recover your back, which is more important than a video 😮

  • @slomo1716

    It’s all coming together, and now we can get an impression of the size of the rooms, the bathroom looks like it’s going to be very nice. Please continue to take good care of yourself, especially your back, better to go slower and get there anyway, than to have to stop completely. While we are impatient to see your updates we understand the intervals!

    Hello dear Edd! Sorry to hear your back is bothering you. Have you tried Kinesiology taping (K-taping)? I'm a retired professional ballet dancer, and over the years I had many back problems. K-taping a is an incredible support, which I know will help you during your healing. I'm sure your Osteo/physio knows how, or just look for youtube videos and Anna can do it for you.
    Good luck and the Bijou looks incredible. You always do excellently in your renovations!

    Edd. U have. Done such major reno to this House. I cant wait to see completion ! Ur a great reno man with great ideas. But as someone said. *dont put towel warmer bars next to toilet. U need towels when u come out of. SHOWER.. Imo. Plus towels will pick up bacteria right by toilet. FECAL germs do float around. I hope u put a Exhaust Fan above toilet....imo. (i dont have one in my apt as it is old.. but i sure hate this)
