Chateau Kitchen Renovation - Saving The Tiles

[@quidditchmum]

Michael, you are truly a gem. Incredible skill, talent and creativity without a shred of arrogance. Thank you for these wonderful videos.

[@cynthialapp3541]

Sadie in the golf buggy to the music of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the funniest thing I've seen in ages.

[@georgeattig8088]

I had to watch it three times 😂😂 and when I need a laugh, I’ll watch it again 😂😂😂

[@eleniantoniou534]

Completely agree! That was hilarious! Great job Sadie! How much of that was just laughing?

[@Scotty7268]

I did worry about that wee dog racing after the cart! Obviously the film was speeded up but while telling myself, it's on high speed, I still worried!!

[@b.t.m.devries176]

I agree and laugh out load

Michael, have you tried bicarbonate of soda and white vinegar. It cleans ovens and basically anything. And, just paste it on, go have a cup of tea, then just wash it off. You are welcome. Xx

I think people just want to see you. It’s like a loved one we haven’t seen in a long time. We’re grateful to spend this time with you.

Yep, better to watch painting than Billy, lol

[@barakstribling7092]

It’s really great to see you back in action! The tiles look amazing. Is the window beading a different wood than the windows? Or is it “silvered” from aging/chemical treatment?

[@pmotherat]

What a difference between before and after on the wall tiles. You are a hard worker. Absolutely love your videos. So glad you started up again. Carry on…….. 🎉🎉❤

[@fianorian]

This is such a British channel. DIY, mixed with a healthy dose of sarcasm.

Loved this one Michael- false accusations, toxic chemicals, runaway golf carts…. What more could we ask for?😂

Very happy this channel has revived recently.. keep posting bro

[@deebowker768]

I love the fact that you are repairing and renovating the tiles Michael. It’s always great to see historic houses showing their true age and the chateau kitchen will look superb. Sadie’s golf cart saga was hilarious! 😂

[@bdlodahl]

It is a very, exciting, interesting, and important project for the château that you, along with the accasional help from Billy's team, are getting on with restoring the original château kitchen! I know it will be beautiful! However, it is also fascinating learning how to cope with the gunk, carbon, calcium deposits, etc, etc, that reaked havoc on this absolute historical treasure for so many years neglect! I can't wait to see how you continue step by step, bringing her beauty, and function completely back to life! I love your skills, creativity, humor, connectivity, and, importantly, your choice of music! I loved Sady's hilarious raucous golf cart ride to chitty-chitty bang-bang... especially ending up in the bushes. I'm so glad Bertie didn't get run over! ❤🎉❤🎉😂🤣

[@cattails1166]

Michael, you could add brass sheets at the bottom of your door, which would cover the damage and keep moisture off the bottom so the damage wouldn't continue. It would also add a bit of class. Great find - to have the original door!

[@DoingItOurselvesOfficial]

That’s a great idea!!! This is why I love reading the comments. Thank you, that will save so much work as both doors are damaged at the bottom. Plus it will look really classy.

[@twvea]

USA called kick plates I believe. 😊 Would look great - perfect idea!

[@margaretlovelock7031]

I loved you taking the ‘piss’ in the loveliest sort of way. You made my day. I have had one of the biggest laughs ever. Carry on you’re doing a fabulous job. Keep the sarky bits coming too please. I’m an 80 yr old that can’t get out much these days so your company is appreciated so much. ❤Sadie’s participation was spot on too.

Having that day here is wonderful. Thank you, keep the videos coming, we truly do love you.

With "hands that do dishes, are as soft as your skin, mild green - Fairy Liquid" known to clean all sorts of grime, including red diesel and a century of chateau dust!! You are a treat and a half Michael. Can't wait for the tile moulding and high jinks with enamel paint! 😂
