When I was 18, I worked in a hospital. I ran a switch board very similar to the one you saw at the thrift store. It was the only hospital in the city and every call coming in and going out of the hospital came thru my board! I also handled ALL the overhead paging! I was a very busy girl!!! I made $1.65 per hour.. It inspired me to become a nurse which I retired from a few years ago.

My mother was a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. and once took a call from the White House, John F. Kennedy himself to an Oklahoma senator. She was thrilled. Back in the day they had to have perfect grammar and elocution and a "very pleasant voice". Those were the days!!

I love the pop of color those chairs will add! The camera doesn't do justice on the subtle difference of the trim. I love seeing Val & Alf! They are so sweet and hardworking 💗

Carole when your mom was describing the department store she worked in where the cash was put into a cannister and up thru a tubing vacuum thing, it made me remember a dept store my grandmother shopped in when I was a kid, and I am pushing 60 now. So in America we still had those around in the 1970s. Always was amazed watching the process. Looks like everyone is having a good time. I am laid up with a broken leg for 3 months. I was so wishing as I watched all that work that I was able to do some. Funny what you miss when you can't do it.

Those pneumatic payment tubes were still being used in some departments of Saks Fifth Avenue at their flagship store in NYC in the 1980s! Not sure when they were installed, but it could have been around the turn of the previous century!

Carole you are so lucky still having your mum and Alf in your lives. They are always ready to help,as were my parents and being part of a close knit loving family is a very precious thing. I feel so sad for people who don’t have that. The cobbles and weed free Lavoire area looks fabulous as does Adrian’s handiwork on the hallway flooring. I’m so eager to see the newly painted chair, I love that style of chair.🥰💐

That hall looks fantastic!!! The transformation is spectacular.

It gives the right touch. So bright and fresh.

Great video!! Lots of support for you both, with your friends (Matt and Dave?)… and with your generous family, always So helpful, and willing to get to work with whatever they can do. Loved the Outing to the community gardens, the cherries, lots of fun!

So nice to have your company be the great helpers they are and the floor is amazing

Thoroughly enjoyed this weeks vlog. Like the idea of contrasting chair colour. Cobbles are an excellent find, I only find rusty pots and old bottles in my former farmyard garden.

Hi Carole & Adrian, Great haircut Carole, I couldn't help but notice. Nice to see your folks back and helping out. They have a love as you do to pretty up the Chateau gardens for the summer, it always takes a second pair of helpers to keep things under control. Lovely to see the progress that Adrian has made on the hallway floor, and the shading with the trim paint must look a lot better in person than on video. Keep up the great work. Mark & Scott

Oh Carole..."Queen of Gold" if you don't like the color you've painted the chairs try dry brushing some gold or antique gold or gold leaf. Beautiful chairs, don't give up on them😉.

Carol, I'd love to say I can see on camera the difference between the white and cream, but I can't. I am totally with you that gentle differences are what brings out the trim or details. The Chateau is layers of gentle decisions. So when the correct chandler/lighting is added with the wonderful glow of the horse lamps... When your vision is all together in your alcove foyer the subtle decisions will make the difference. Beautiful!

Definitely that beautiful blue!!!!!

Wow, what a difference the weeding made. Carole's mum is so dedicated! I actually really like the cream trim; it's more noticeable (on my screen at any rate) in the hallway rather than on the 'closet' door. I think it'll be well worth the effort. As for the floor, wow! Adrian it's looking amazing!

Hello Carole, everything is moving right along… you and Adrian should be very proud of yourselves. Sometimes when I’ve been so involved and have several different projects running (not ever as complex as yours), I don’t see the progress. There can be several days when I’m not able to visit your Vlog…when I do like today…I’m amazed how much you’ve accomplished. Earlier I was watching the 1949 film, The Third Man., with Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli, Bernard Lee, Orson Welles. I hadn’t seen it for years. Besides having a brilliant cast of characters, the film takes place in Vienna during WWII. My reason for sharing this film is the sets…beautiful old buildings dilapidated or in different stages of decay…at minutes 22:35 one can see the decoration of a beautiful apartment from furniture to furnishings…you can see the detail of double doors …trim,etc.to 25:34. Fast forward to 59:47 interior apartment…(a bit over the top)…trim around walls and window to 1:01:15 to 1:01:44 back into scene ending at 1:03:35. 1:10:34 interior apartment to approx 1:13:22. Anyway, it’s available free, on KZread. I watch most films on my laptop … you might enjoy doing so. Lovely to see your Mum and Alf! They are such hard workers and good sports!👏👏🌟Be safe!

Garden is looking great ;>) Loved the cherry harvesting routine - I saw my family do that to get them down ;>)

Love the chair in that color!

The more cobblestones the better! wonderful work!

You are a good man, Adrian. I know you have GOT to be tired of floors. I definitely like the cream trim. Those chairs are awesome... Please don't ever let them go.

I looooove the area by the well and lavoir, the more cobblestones to fill out the area, the better! It will look smashing with a bench and some potted flowers! But boy, that bamboo grows ridiculously fast. It's just going to be a thorn in your side until it can be all dug up.

Yes Carol it does warm it up. Love love great decision. !!! ♥️♥️♥️👏👏👏🍷🥰🇨🇦

Carole, I do notice the softness of the trim, and it looks great. Adrian, the floor looks great as well. That looked like a nice brocante, albeit a little high-priced.
