Problems
We Had Problems and Edd was upset as he wants everything to be perfect
But sometimes it isn't possible as it is out of our hands
The Path was one of Edd's favourite parts of the renovation , sadly the joy reaching to this point has been taken out
The guest apartment renovation is coming along
At the start of the vlog we had a small video of how the build was 2 years ago and lets just say it has come a long way ...

Let’s get to 40k!! SUBSCRIBE;-)
Your little Château is becoming quite a jewel box. All the high end finishes, quality details and workmanship are impressive. Even with less than ideal product, you’ve skillfully installed to achieve beautiful results; Impressive! I also admire you taking a filming break to ensure time for you & your family 🥰
The driveway looks magnificent. Really suits the house. What a mammoth job!! Very impressive👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I am always astonished at the level of thought and quality of work both of you put into everything, Edd and Anna. The place is looking better and better.
Good for you both to take time for family, your fans and followers will be here when you come back, OMG Ed you have the patience of a saint, (at least on video, LOL) to do that job. Beautiful work. I can't wait until the grand tour when it's finished. Have a great rest of your weekend.
His "patience of a saint" really showed in the look on his face on the final shot of him on the ladder! 😒🙄 Solid Gold 🏆
The lines are perfectly acceptable in my opinion. Nothing is ever perfect!
Wow………. You’ve covered all the concrete in white tiles, my god, you are a perfectionist. Not a criticism, I’m amazed at your work-load. 👏
Uneven tiles won't be a problem. You're a perfectionist and you see it but try to remember an older home has to have character. You've done amazing work and a tile askew here and there just adds to the charm of the older building. I think its still perfect. Beautiful in fact!
Edd's comments about the uncalibrated tiles really illustrate how anyone as precise as he is will have to be tolerant of all the imperfections that come with construction, whether your own or that of paid professionals. Most of us would not have even noticed those imperfections in the outside walk, but he always will.
It just blows my mind the work you guys undertake, looks like there are no drawings just a computer in Ed’s head
In fact it looks better that the lines of tiles are not all completely straight
The tiles in the driveway are wonderful! It transformed the whole area. It's great!
It's amazing that you have personally taken on such a large project. Congratulations! With respect to the tree, it looks like powdery mildew. Bring a leaf to your local garden center. They will give you something that should work, and be ecologically friendly.
Mix milk with water 1/3 and spray for power mildew.. usually in tunnell with aubergines
The paving looks fantastic, we built our house with seconds, we just made everything work, and the end result was great.
I fully understand the problem with the sets, I bought 30sqm of reclaimed hexagonal tomettes which looked fine in the pics, but on arrival were from three different manufacturers three different colours, sizes and thicknesses, I was committed to using them, which took three times as much adhesive and three times as long to lay 😶 consequently joints varied from 3 to 15mm and uneven throughout, but since grouting friends have said how good they look, so I have stopped looking 😉...
Don’t worry about the random uncalibrated tiles. They will look more hand made and original to the period.
Incredible work with the tiles, you did a nice job on the imperfections, I can understand about being unhappy about not getting what you wanted though. I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday, it was well deserved.
It might be Greek to a lot of us, but as long as YOU know what you're doing, WE know that the end result, AND the getting there process, will be totally worth watching and waiting for! Glad you took some family time, and have a wonderful Sunday!
Awesome job with the tiles! I understood your explanation of the registers and returns for the room and did not tune out. You are amazing and whoever lives there will be so blessed. Glad you took it slow and spent time with the family.
It really is a passion for you Ed and Anna in every task you tackle and complete! You are both so inspirational for us novice home renovators. I really hope that in someway you are able to keep this remarkable home for yourself. If you are forced to sell, I sincerely hope that someone comes along and makes you a simply remarkable offer; that is the very least you deserve for all the effort, hard work and again passion that you have extolled. It has been an absolute delight watching your progress through all of the Vlogs. Thanks you so much for sharing. 🙏🏻🙋♂️
I’m blown away by how beautiful the cobble/travertine drive/walkways look! Edd x Anna after season, you truly need a holiday ! Your work ethic is bar none! Anna, you too! There’d be no vlogs without you. Your a great team. Welcome Luca! PS I really wish the beams could stay, they’re full of character.
The drive tiling is amazing! So much hard work and I can imagine how expensive it would have been to hire someone to do that job! So glad you took some time off Ed, but your work speed doesn’t seem to have affected! 💪
I've missed your vlogs, but happy for you to have spent precious family time together. However, looking at your beautifully tiled driveway, you also worked a lot at the passion project! It's amazing you were able to make it look so perfect inspite of the irregularities of the tiles. This speaks to your passion for details & perfection! Thank you for sharing your Bordeaux Life with us! 😊
The driveway looks amazing Edd.
Again Ed your work is exceptional. Glad to see the progress.
Amazing how much work with the tiling has gotten done, in spite of the disappointment with the tiles! Everything is looking splendid; well done!
My heavens ! The work in all the tiling you have done ! It's amazing I have never seen a tiled driveway only plain cement in USA . I am still hoping somehow you make enough from CZcams and Patreon to keep your passion project.
I didn't notice the pants till you mentioned it.I was focused on your handsome face.Remarkable transformation in 20 days! The courtyard/driveway looks gorgeous! Thanks for explaining the things you're doing. Love from Vermont
The driveway looks amazing, even not quite finished. It amazes me how much work you get done by yourself (or with only a little help). Your drive and energy to complete projects is super impressive. All while raising a family and running a business. Your should both be so proud of what you are creating.
Don’t go on strike! It’s all very interesting, wish your vlogs went further back, that’s what got me watching your channel! That facade, color of the stone! Beautiful! Chateau LaGorce and your travels around made it more special! You really should be ambassadors for the region! Anyway, you are right to spend time with your children, to have that privacy! Brickwork can wait, your adorable children growing can’t! Rest up and enjoy every second of life! You really have it all! Thank you from San Diego! 🍷🏖🍹
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW IT LOOKS UNPERFECTLY PERFECT IT'S BEAUTIFUL IT LOOKS HANDMADE HARD WORK LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING FRIEND YOU ARE SO HARD ON YOURSELF AND I ADMIRE YOU FOR THAT SO MUCH RESPECT
Take family time Edd, that's important. The house is looking so good:)
Could b frost damage or powdery mildew- which seems early for that but nowadays you never know!
Try spraying with a little fungicide!
I am going to second "powdery mildew".
It’s a crepe myrtle I think by the leaf and they are susceptible to powdery mildew but usual they self correct. I’d ensure the ground is cleared around the tree and mulch added.
Hi Anna and Ed amazing tiling you explain the challenges Ed, but you always have solutions and in the end it’s fixed. Always enjoy your vlogs 👏👍
Ed your abilities on so many levels are out standing. Every time you start a new vision, carry it through from planning to completion it is all so very impressive to watch. Such hard work and high standards. Congratulations to you both on the way you work together each within your individual strengths to form such a great course.
Happy that you took some time off to be with the kids. Everything is looking good 👍
It was a very good decision to take time off to be with your beautiful children. we have them for such a short time in life, Enjoy every min you can spend with them. Ed the tiling is beautiful and so much work. blessings from Canada 🇨🇦
Ed is an absolute genius at any endeavor. It looks as though the transplanted tree (is it a crepe myrtle?) has fungus. If so, Neem Oil is a good remedy. It's organic and functions as an insecticide, miticide, and fungicide, so you can use it for many purposes.
Fantastic work Edd. Especially with less than perfect materials!! That strip running along the water drain! Most people would have just filled it with tile cement! Take care. Jan xx 👍🥰
Ed you have done a wonderful job on the driveway and all the brick around the pool etc. I would think you will be so happy to finish with the Chateaus renovation and have a little time to rest. I admire you as a father taking some time off to spend with your children, the days when they are little will never come back again so enjoy while you have the opportunity. God Bless you and Anna and your sweet children. Kathy USA
Hi Edd and Anna, wow the place looks amazing, them tiles! You are a man of more talents than I have ever seen Edd! Lovely that you both took time off for the school holidays, that’s as it should be, much love to you all xxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
WOW, even when you have a holiday break you still work and how beautiful is the driveway 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s coming along nicely. The uneven tiles add charm. Hope you had some fun with little Emma and Charles. You both deserve some family time. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
The scope of this project continually increases. I'm impressed. Thank you.
lol, fun watching the give and take of your relationship. "Did you just turn off there?" ha ha ha...Fantastic work and love seeing your updates. Glad your taking time with the kids, they grow up so fast. My youngest baby...is creeping up on 40 and has his first child. Don't know were the time went. Again, thanks for sharing and looking forward to your next video
OMG, when I saw the concrete pour, I thought that it was going to be just that, concrete. This tile over the cement is brilliant; absolutely gorgeous . This treatment has elevated the driveway to the very top of what it could kook like. That’s beautiful, congratulations!
You are the type of tradesman we all wish we could hire. Sheer scale of the work you have completed is incredible. Your attention to detail is amazing considering you may not even be able to enjoy living there. I sincerely hope you can keep it even for a few years.
The crepe myrtle has powdery mildew. It’s very common on them. A fungicide and cleaning the ground around the base will help. There are organic solutions if that is something you may be concerned with.
Glad you took a little time to slow the pace. You've been busting your tail so hard on this huge project. The driveway looks amazing. That is a LOT of tile to lay! It's all coming along so well.
That driveway looks fantastic Ed. Nothing ever is perfect, it’s rustic, I love it!
I understood what you meant Ed and didn’t switch off 😂 hope you’re back is doing ok?!
Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 wow 🤩 The villa is looking even more beautiful! Edd, job well done!!!! I can’t wait to see the final product. And Anna, good for you for taking time off from editing and spending it with your kids! Family aways comes first 💖
The difference between the beginning and now is amazing.
The driveway looks perfect.
Great job!
Cyril, undoubtedly helped keep you motivated for sure! He was a high energy, hard working individual! Everything works out for the best! Cheers! Thomas!
HI Ed and Anna the drive way looks fantastic such a big job Ed tiling the whole driveway you work so hard everything is coming along beautifuly I am glad you took a break and had some family time you are looking much refreshed Anna all the tech talk would make me space out for a second or two my self ha ha
The drive way is amazing work Edd and the calculations were perfect between the house and driveway. It wasn't a silly question Anna about the gap between the wall and ceiling. Edd's explanation will help other people's DIY project and perhaps help the future owners of the house in some way. I hope both of you will always take breaks when you want or need to. Family, health and enjoying your life should be top of the 'to do list
Fabulious! Glad you had rest Edd, best to work while enjoying quality of life! It makes everything worth while!
Oh My Goodness. The driveway is beautiful. The great craftsman work, attention to quality and detail shows. Love it!
Hi Edd & Anna, so good to hear you took time off to spend with Emma and Charles, family should absolutely always come first! The driveway looks really good! Thank you for sharing, take really good care of each other, stay well! Much love Kathy x 💖
Wow you’ve done so much and still a lot to do. I love that you covered the cement with the tiles. It looks beautiful. Didn’t realize that was the plan. Still hoping you’ll keep it and use it as vacation rentals 🙏
Leaps and bounds! I’m loving all the progress, and happy to know that you are taking time, when needed, to be with the little ones, and to enjoy a little down-time! Amazing content!
The driveway looks stunning and it's just what the chateau deserves...it would have been a pity to simply put down a standard concrete driveway that you would find at any house. I couldn't tell on the video; has the big truck come to level mount Edd yet? You have to do that prior to putting down the front door path, yes?
Downy mildew maybe on your tree, shortage of water at the roots. Give the tree lots of water for a few weeks, may help. It may lose leaves but will survive if you keep it watered. ( if that’s what it is), great work.
Hello Anna and Edd,,,
The white dust on your little tree could possibly be Mealy bug.
You can treat it by spraying the leaves down with mineral oil. Be sure to get it checked out with an actual nursery to find out what it is because mealybug can quickly spread to all of your other plants in the area. Once it takes hold it is very hard to get rid of. Keep up the good work! A+++
So glad you had some quality time with the children. I was missing the videos . The driveway looks wonderful.
Missed you Ed and Anna. Really great work you’ve done. Glad you had a break and time together with the kids
Such fantastic work! And workmanship!
Drive way looks so great with the tiles. So much better than plain concrete.
And all that prep work insulation etc in those rooms.
👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽
Your work is impeccable. I learn from you every time a new video is posted. Thank you for always sharing the good, the bad and your beautiful family. Please continue to take care of yourself and the family.
So pleased you got some rest, the house is just amazing you both work so hard . We have just finished our self build its been a year of stress and hard work we move in on tuesday thank goodness. So l know how hard you are working. I cannot wait to see your beautiful house finished and you showing us each room it will be amazing love your vlogs.
Looks Good Edd! Can't wait to see the front walk done.
It’s getting more beautiful every time you show us a video!! 💚🌿🌸
Wow! Just WOW! You two are such hard working people and everything looks phenomenal.
Incredible workmanship. Every detail carefully thought out. So impressive! Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍💜🇨🇦
Ed, it is a marvelous job. You worry too much. I love the videos that you do. Gorgeous!
Bless you all.
Great progress, particularly like the way the sunlight bounces off the building edges creating shadows
That tiling job is massive! So impressive!
I'm so glad you had some private family time. That is so important. Your children will grow up before you know it. Enjoy them. The chateau is coming along well. It is going to be magnificent when finished.
The paving looks like it’s been there forever thanks to the flaws, so not all is lost, it’s very successful. A massive achievement Ed. As for the bedroom I wouldn’t lower the ceiling, I love a spacious bedroom with high ceilings.
I enjoyed this video style so much better. With Ed talking to us, explaining, teaching, vs the provocative rapport that so many youtubers seem to think is necessry. I prefer that Anna is the filmer, not required to understand.. not being chastized. I would t want to see you Ed, filming Anna, and being found ignorant for not kowing what florals she is using etal. We have our own strengths, ut we can admire and appreciate everyones good works.
Fantastic work Edd. Great first impression when one drives onto the property.
Wow you have been busy Ed. I am glad you are enjoying more family time too❣️
You and Anna are a good team!
"Perfectionism is a curse". Don't know exactly where I heard that, but although the outcome is amazing often, the journey getting there is long and can be frustrating. My advice, don't sweat the small stuff. Although to a perfectionist there is no small stuff!
You've done such an amazing job with those tiles, should be proud of yourself. 🙃🇦🇺
So pleased you got to spend some quality time with the family during the school holidays.
Your skill set never fail to surprise me. Dad is a man and a half
So good to followi your build and success as a family 👪 ❤
Beautiful job Ed. Even if it is Greek to some of us doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate your skill, effort, and end results. We do. I would love to see it in person but we are a long ways away.
The tiles on The concrete look Amazing a Amazing person called Edd did it 🤗❤🤗🍰☕🍰☕ 🤗❤well both of you 🤗
Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Anna you are so blessed that Ed is such a perfectionist. This home WOW can't say any more than that. And so glad you take breaks and spend it with your family. Quality time is so important. Continue to take care of yourselves, God bless both.
Wow..What a hard worker and immaculate job you do. X
You’re so funny Edd and Anna! Yes Edd we did switch off as you were describing the fitout in the apartment hahahaha but then I’m sure there are a number of DIY-ers on your channel who were all listening intently knowing exactly what you were talking about 🤣🤣🤣 Tiles are looking great, only you will see the lines that are not quite correct, I just see an amazing change and you’re great work again
The paving blends well with the building. Hopefully you can use the hapless tiles for trails through the garden etc. Its good you took time to spend the holidays with your bonny bairns too🥰💕
Ed you make it so interesting and love to hear the detail and reasons you do it that way. Looks fantastic.
You are an amazing worker, Edd! Is there anything you can’t do?your endurance levels are amazing👏👏
Beautiful stone - love the colour. Personally, I love the imperfections in the stone, it looks more natural, but I know it made a lot more work for you. You’ve done such a fantastic job. Well done guys👍😊
Crack on! I was very happy to see the most recent video. The paving is kind of amazing. The cut out for the tree is nice. And, the replanted tree is nice to see. I am glad you replant things. Thanks again for sharing all of this. Best!
Every episode...lost for words! Absolutely, incredible. Love you two!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦
@20:23 I understood, I appreciate Edd taking the time to explain too.
The driveway looks awesome ❤️ Have you guys considered using your guesthouse as an AirBNB rental when done? It would be easy enough to make it a keycode entrance, and would help towards the cost of your passion project, so you can keep it?
Ok Edd I’m a grandma and although I love to see you and Anna, it is always special to see Charles and Emma.
Thankyou for sharing another wonderful vlog. There are always difficulties to over come but you both have accomplished a stunningly beautiful place 😘
The paving looks fantastic 😁
