#24 Fire place and chimney fixed | Getting reused stuff for bathroom | Renovating house by myself

[@christinadupuy897]

Love the way you used the tiles vertically, grout always takes repeated wiping and cleaning to get it all off. Love your nerve and determination doing this restoration. Gives me motivation and I'm 73! ♥

[@magdamundt9483]

There are a few things that must REALLY be left to experts, for our safety. Glad you called for them in such an important issue.

[@chopstickjamey]

Your mastery of English is amazing! Much appreciated 😃

[@annasgmlindgren]

Haha, thank you! I have lived abroad but it was ages ago now so feeling a bit rusty... 🫣

[@triciazimmerman3522]

There's nothing more satisfying than being able to fix things yourself.

[@annasgmlindgren]

So true!

[@missebel7671]

The Bath looks realy beautyful...I like the dark "Fugenmörtel"❤

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you, great to hear 🙏

[@daisy9910]

Anna, to clean grout smear off the tiles, you can use 1 part phosphoric acid and 4 parts water. No stronger than that. Then just wipe down with water after. The best thing to do when grouting tiles, is to continuously change the water and clean the sponge. It's much easier if you have someone to clean the sponge and refresh the water for you as you go.

[@annasgmlindgren]

Great tip! Some one else mentioned that too. I bought something similar in the store, which I will try out. If it doesn't work I'll go for the phosphoric acid 🙂

[@glennwoods2462]

Thanks for filming and sharing...🙏🙏 You're making lots of progress.... Bravo !

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thanks for the encouragement, it is always so much fun to read all the comments on here 🙂🙏

[@shirleyrice7093]

Your English sounds perfect to me in the U.S. It is always satisfying watching a woman take care of almost everything.

[@denizberlin9441]

Yaaaay… this will be a good evening under the blanket. ❤️

I found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. Mother Teresa of Calcutta Have a happy day 😊 ☺️

[@belindagordon8042]

Wow!!!!? The tiles are perfect so Clever 🎉🎉

[@cantocant2346]

You have the most amazing background music!

[@mjkrech]

Always a pleasure to see a new episode from you! Great choice of grout color! Lighter grout can get darker over time. I’ve never regretted using dark grout for my white tiles! Thanks for all your filming efforts!

[@annasgmlindgren]

That's a good point actually, that makes me feel more confident I made the right choice 🙂 Thank you for watching 🙏

[@ritafoster4958]

I love seeing you repurpose that marble windowsill into shelves. Nice job!

[@annasgmlindgren]

Great to hear, I am really happy with how it turned out (and that it didnät break when cutting it) 😊

[@MsBenji33]

Anna, try to find a grout cleaner. It's a solution that helps remove grout residue. Beats the scrubbing. Good job BDW!

[@annasgmlindgren]

Great idea, thank you! I will see if I can find it in the hardware store 😊

[@robinprice6879]

Just now found your channel. I absolutely love watching women do what used to be considered men’s work. You do it well! I will definitely go back and watch your previous videos and subscribe to see what you get up to in the future

[@annasgmlindgren]

That is great to hear, thank you 🙂

[@paulakelly563]

Anna great progress , If you have a fire you really now have a home as apposed to a house . 😊 winter creeping in. Delighted for you , when your bathroom fitted out you will not notice any slight stain on tiles . Thanks for sharing. 💫

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thanks for your kind words, it always means a lot! So true that the tiny mistakes are much more noticable now when everything isn't finished yet... 😊

[@theresajohnson6684]

Fantastic job and courageous efforts to make everything possible in your life 👏👏you are amazing woman

[@annasgmlindgren]

That's really kind of you, thank you 🙏

[@vasiljeva77]

Anna, du är min stjärna! Tack för din eko och kreativ blog!

[@miamolin]

You have done lot of work. Have a nice time with the fire place. 🔥🫖☕❤️ Regaeds from Finland countryside 🌲🌲🏡🌲🌲

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you, I am really enjoying it so far 🙏💛

[@voneschenbachmusic]

Beautiful tile work - the grout looks really nice with the white tiles. Well done!

[@carolbulmer8253]

Hi, Anna. Your bathroom tiling looks great. I’m glad that your fireplace is installed and that your chimney passed inspection. I love watching your progress on your home❤️

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you 🙏💛

[@angeladol6140]

Thank you

[@copperpenny0209]

I'm amazed with all that you are doing, and it's coming along nicely.

[@cliveklg7739]

That Tawny owl noise is nice. We have Eastern Screech Owls here, their calls aren't actually a screech. The night calls are a long warbling noise that is kind of nice, but sometimes sounds like a person crying with right acoustics in the woods next to our house.

[@annasgmlindgren]

Ooh screech owl call sounds a bit scary in my opinion.. There is this old saying here that the tawly owl brings a message of death, but I have chosen not to believe that 😉

[@ritafoster4958]

Tiling is always so messy, but you did a really good job with it!

[@diceau]

i think you are doing so well. i am watching things progress so nicely. great job. 🙂

[@Toni-rp3hs]

Hi Anna It will be so nice when you can clean your tiles. A thought Bi Carb & white vinegar too clean tiles?And soon too have a shower in you nice snug home. Good work 👍

[@polgarauk5606]

Yay congratulations on finishing the tiling and I like the choice of grout sorry it stained the tiles a bit thoyour bathroom is going to look great once finished. Ooh fireplace in properly and chimney sorted hope you are toasty warm now as it's definitely getting a lot colder 🥶 I appreciate you speaking in English it must be so hard for you with it not being your natural language, you do it wonderfully tho 😊 Look forward to seeing how that washstand goes 😊

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you for all the encouragement! Really enjoying being able to have fires again 🥰

[@cherolynwolf5913]

Yeah!

[@MagnaQ]

Hej Anna. Tack för dina fina videos. Beträffande fläckarna på kaklet i badrummet, förmodligen går de väck med saltsyra. Blöt en svamp o stryk över ytan. Låt verka några minuter o tvätta med vatten. OBS skyddsglasögon o kemika, ie resistenta handskar! Hälsningar från Frankrike, där jag bor. ❤

[@annasgmlindgren]

Hej och tack för tipset, det ska jag testa! 🙏

[@l.m.2404]

Hi, I know that I am writing this after the fact but, if you seal your tile and grout prior to using the shower, it will be easier to maintain. There is a product for just this purpose so it should be readily available. Clean well prior to use and reseal on a yearly basis afterwards. It looks great and I think the dark grout is kinda edgy. :)

[@annasgmlindgren]

Not sure I understand exactly what you mean but that could be something to consider for future tiling jobs for sure 😊

[@maryannknox7158]

Congratulations 🍾 on getting your wood 🪵 stove hooked up and working ♥️

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you, wonderful to have it going again 🙏

[@terricollins8450]

One of my favourite channels ❤

[@annasgmlindgren]

So great to hear, thank you 🙏💛

[@allisontison40]

The shower tile should be sealed before you grout, this prevents stains, then after the grout is done and very dry, you seal again, this prevents mildew and other contaminants, and hard water and soap scum from becoming impossible to remove. Once you have the second sealer coat on the tiles you will see how important it is, because now the tiles will stay beautiful and EASY to clean. Carefully select the right grout type, sealer and adhesive type in which good results depends on whether natural or man made tile.

[@lfuentes4098]

Hi Anna.I love watching your renovation series. Thanks for sharing. I’m curious, what is your technical background? You have so much knowledge.

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you, that's great to hear! I talk a little bit about how I've learned to do things in video number 27 :)

[@Nena84734]

Ahhh, a cliffhanger!

[@judyshort38]

we are in the USA and all out doors open in to the house and I notice the door you entered to bring in the wood opened out. Just curious if that is different in Sweden.

[@annasgmlindgren]

I think mine is mounted the wrong way.. 😅

[@almawebber]

I love seeing your progress - great work! Curious if the water around the trees is a result of flooding or is it a river/creek? I know there were lots of storms recently but not sure if you had issues

[@annasgmlindgren]

Thank you 🙏 It is a creek, so it overflows quite quickly with heavy rain, but now it is more or less back to normal again.

[@markmichelbrink500]

I think you are a wonderwel woman I look to you from the netherlands and I whish to live some time in sweden

[@TheTlangdon]

✨🏆✨

[@zeynepp71]

is it possible you to post videos more often?

[@pennygreenwood8204]

Try bleach on the tiles.
