Morning Grahame, I wouldn't have been happy with that sand either. Glad you managed to get it done though. Steve has done a great job on the garden. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw

Took me awhile to watch had cataract surgery on both eyes and spend all my time putting in eye drops and going to appointments for follow-up care. The yellow render is much prettier than the white, well I like it better. I like the tree trimming, nice to see someone do a nice job trimming it up.

Great seeing things coming together outside! Too bad you had to struggle with stony sand for the render and two different colors, but you made it work. You two also did a nice job with pruning the tree by the gate. Everyone should have a Steve!

Looking awesome! I was wondering how you plan to do the outside wall above the bathroom? Going to be a bit of a stretch... And thanks to Steve for getting the yard cleaned up nicely. Cheers to you both! 🍻

lol I think that too, we intend to remove all the old render and match it in, I will have to build a platform to sit on maybe using parts of the scaffold tower... many thanks

I think that you should leave perhaps a 5cm gap at the bottom the render between it and the ground to prevent water "wicking" up - I may be wrong of course! :)

@OurFrenchHouseRenovation

if you look at the bottom you can see a dark strip, approx 3-4 inches in width, just above the soakaway trench.. so no probs.. many thanks

Ahhhh… too bad you didn’t show the part of the garden after your friend finished working so hard on it! It was very satisfying 😅 cheers 🍻

I’ve really enjoyed watching the renovation of your French château. It is very interesting as I have been in construction in America all my adult life and we do things very different in some cases. Thank you for sharing. Cheers

I was told its style is that of a maison des maîtres " masters house" with a central door way off the street and two rooms either side of the hall way, I would need to do research to find out if this is correct.. many thanks

@@OurFrenchHouseRenovation oui, le style plutôt vendéen. Je suis plus au sud près de Rochelle,et là les façades sont plus blanches(et plus salissantes aussi,à cause des pluies! . Et puis vous n’êtes pas libres des extérieurs, surtout en jouxtant une église, je suppose.

Fantastic job, as always! Do you make your own suet cakes for the birds, too?

Hi from Massachusetts! The yellow sand looks great and I think it’s great that you have matched it to the church. By the way, how old is the house? I do enjoy watching your channel and all the love and care you put into the restoration of the house.

thank you, the house was built in 1820 so 204 years old this year, and this was vid number 204... spooky lol cheers

Hopefully this solves your damp problem. I have used that sandwich from Brico Depot and it's terrible you are right. I recently got my sand from a garden centre for rendering. It's super smooth. Good work looking forward to the update AJ

Hi Andy, friends called round to the house yesterday and confirmed that the bathroom was dry, and apparently there has been a lot of rain, so thats good news... take care mate cheers

I think I would plant cypress trees along the metal fence there to give you some privacy from a busy road and neighbors and deaden any of the traffic noise. Why did you chop down that pretty tree?
