Merci beaucoup Nathalie!

Thanks Mary, so are we! Merry Christmas to you too

Becs is a wedding photographer (super glamorous, lots of travel), and I work part time for a software company writing documentation and making videos (much less glamorous, but I like it 😂) between the two of us, we have a lot of flexibility in our schedules that lets us renovate, and hang out with the kids. It does make things a little tighter on the budget, but that helps force some creative decisions, and we do our best to work with second hand materials (or rocks we find in the garden 😂)

@ interesting. Thanks

@chriztian42 No worries!

Oh thank you Jane, you're too kind! ❤️❤️ We will definitely enjoy relaxing in the bath!

Thanks Maura! Happy Christmas to you too 🎄

Thanks for the idea Jena, I think you're totally right with the right size castor that would have worked - we tried with a wee ball roller (not everything can always make it into the videos 😅) , but it struggled a little with the weight and dragged a bit which was marking the floor - after all the work we put into that floor we really just didn't have the guts to risk anything else 😂 but we're pretty happy with the regular slide, it's not so bad hidden behind another piece of the wood we love so much 🥰 will definitely use the sliders again though, love your idea for a sliding platform!

Thanks Jeanette, I am so so proud of Jack and everything he's been able to do so far - never ceases to amaze me! 😍

Thank you so much Lucill, for this comment and for all of them, we love your support! 🤗 ❤️❤️😍

Aw thanks Karen, working together on this is really the most important skill, and we've had plenty of time to practice that, and iron out the kinks 😅

That's good because we have one more in store! haha thanks Irene 🥰

Glad to hear it Jerrie! The video-making is my (Jack's) real creative outlet, so It's such a treat to share them!

Thanks Dolores, we really are so pleased with how it turned out - I'm so proud of Jack and all the work he's put in 😊

Thank you so much! 🙏

Thanks Kim, we're so lucky to have learned so many new ones!

Aw thanks Jerrie, we think so too 🥰

Thank you Cynthia 😍

Thanks Jill! Merry Christmas to you too!

We sure will, plenty more work to do around here! 😅 but first a wee Christmas break

Haha thanks Ginger! (Becs did it!)

Thank you! Good luck with your bathroom, and merry Christmas!

Thanks Danielle! 😍

Do. Undo. Redo. 🤣 ain't that the truth! We love what you said about forever homes, this place definitely wants to keep us around - I don't know if anyone else is crazy enough to try and fix her 😅 Merry Christmas Harry

Haha thanks Lolly, I said we should have filmed it! 🤣 Becs actually cuts my hair (I swear there's nothing she can't do) - do you like the new look?

@ You both look wonderful with your new hair styles! ❣️

Thanks Karin! We really must do a full tour of the longere some time, our immediate plans are to do new rooms for the kids upstairs, a second bathroom 😅 and then we'll see what we tackle after that - there's a full tour of the big house (the maison de maitre) on the channel though if you're curious. that's our long long term project. Merry Christmas!

Ooh a hot Sydney sounds lovely right about now! Merry Christmas, and thanks for the awesome comment!

Thanks so much Frances, glad you enjoyed the video! We definitely couldn't do this alone. 🥰

Thank you! Now to enjoy the space, take a breather for Xmas, then keep going! It’s a bit scary how much work the bathroom was and how little space it takes up in the house 😅

Thank you so much, this house keeps teaching and communication is definitely something we’ve worked through together, there’s no other way!

Thanks so much, merry Xmas to you too 🎄

It was really rewarding for us to go back and see what we’ve actually accomplished! Well, mainly Jack is doing, but I see it as team work 😅 thanks so much for following along.

Thanks so much, definitely something things we can look back and laugh on now, but at the time it doesn’t seem like it will ever be funny!! Absolutely worth it though, we’re loving it. Thanks so much for watching and commenting, merry Xmas to you too!! 💚

Thanks so much for the encouragement, this house has brought us closer together, working on it and making it our own, with spaces that we all enjoy has been hard but also a real privilege, now to go for year two!!! Thanks for watching and supporting us with comments. 💚

Thanks so much, have absolutely loved getting in that bath, now I know why we wanted to do the bathroom first!! 💚

Thanks so much, it’s always hard to know if the vision will come to life and work but we’ve been flexible with our approach and I think maximising the use of the oak was a real win for us, I think it’s better than we had thought now! Hopefully we keep surprising ourselves 😅💚

He makes us so proud, and it doesn’t really come across exactly how many hours and late nights and working in freezing conditions has gone into getting to where we are, but that’s all Jack and I really adore him for it, nice to see others see the hard work too!! Thanks so much 💚

We were so lucky with the oak!! A real blessing to this renovation. Thanks so much 🥰

Haha, every year is a surprise to us, so we’re just as excited.. And same to you!!

Thanks Padraig! it's nice to look back and see it all haha - now we can take a wee break for xmas, then try for even more next year!

Bathroom renovations done. A room you can be proud to call one beautiful completed room

Thanks 🤩 a little bit of inspo for you 😂 you can fill up ronnie with oak next time 😂
