Beautiful and classic choices. Good buy, in 20 years it is still going to be beautiful.

It is true, not all hero's wear capes! Philipp, you are a hero, hanging out of an upper floor window in the rain, stretching to clear the eaves of leaves, is what true hero's are made of. After all, you could have got Anna to do it and held onto her feet for safety. The tileling looks fabulous. Looking forward to the next episode. Hopefully the rain will have stopped and Ziggy can smile and venture outside again. His expression when Anna asked if he was going to come outside, was priceless! The utter distain of that glance!! 😂

Regarding the height difference between the tile & wood floor, as suggested by another viewer make a slight ramp. I had to do the exact thing in my wonky house and it worked beautifully. The little ramp blended into the floor and no trips or stubbed toes. 😊

I virtually laughed out load after the wild boar comment! We need that laughter so much. I think the two of you are amazing and you provide so much happiness to all who get to watch your episodes. Also cleaning out the gutters is brilliant. If you didn’t it would eventually run inside your walls. Your tilist is amazing! What a beautiful job. It is called a herringbone pattern - absolutely lovely. Have a great week - until we get to see you all again. 😊

You have so much talent and vision. The Chateau is gorgeous.

Yes gorgeous indeed. Very clean, clear, good choices, very well done also. Sometimes we see renovated chateau and.... oh my! it's kitch, not well renovated.

You can fix the door threshold by adding a piece of wood or tile beveled at 45 degrees and flare out the sides of the piece so you don't stub your toe. You will also have to shorten the door and frame

It's awesome to see a professional at work! The tiler really knew his job

Great stuff. Quick note that I saw this in a SciShow episode just yesterday, so just in case you don't know, daffodils will kill many other plants, especially if you put a cut daffodil in a vase of water with other flowers, such as roses. So just keep them to themselves when you cut them!

@gnarbeljo8980

Actually goes for all lillies. They develop so much bacteria in the water they need fresh water twice a day to not die prematurely themselves from it. That's why serious florists never combine lillies with the most expensive roses meant to last a long time. Although pretty together short term. Also, lillies want cold water, and roses warm water. But is it true that daffodil bulbs will deterr other flowers from growing in flower beds?? That I've never heard!

We just had rain gutter covers put on our house a few months ago. We have a lot of big trees around our yard and neighborhood. It keeps all the leaves from going in our rain gutters and clogging them up. Great invention. Your chateau is so beautifully painted and decorated, love all the colors and wallpapers.❤

You need to invest in Leaf Guard to protect your eaves. We have them in Canada so I would think that you would have something similar in France. 😅❤

Congratulations on finding another amazing tradesman in the tiler. You've chosen a timeless and very elegant design. The costs involved n just maintain the forest are astounding. No wonder so many chateaus and castles are in disrepair. Bravo 👏

I had the same problem with the height of the tiles was a big mistake to leave a step I can’t tell you how many times I stumbled my toes especially at night half asleep… you can rent an industrial grinder to take down the difference, it will take effort but so worth the work to have it all flush… I promise

I am staying in a place now that has the same threshold problem and even though I know its there I still hit my foot on it.

Ziggy sitting in the doorway, and saying ,No way am I getting WET. 😁Lovely herringbone tile design in bathroom. It’s going to be beautiful, like everything else in the in Chateau. 🥰

That tiler is next level, a true Master Craftsman! Loved watching him work 🤩

The tile pattern is herringbone. Very pretty!

Love the classic black & white tiles for baths...

Noooooo! I want to see it completed!!!!! I don’t want to wait till next week!!!!😂😂😂

Keeping gutters clean is no easy task in such a large place. Nor is caring for a forest. It is I’m sure a constant job to keep up with such maintenance. But extremely important not just for aesthetics but safety. The tiles are turning out lovely! Your whole suite will be so beautiful when finished! I’m sure you can’t wait to enjoy it fully.

Another wonderful video with wonderful music to wash dishes by! Thank you so much Phillip! You have excellent taste!

Wow. The tiler is talented. No spacers and it looks fabulous.

What excellent choices ,the bathroom is going to look lovely.Your tiler is exactly the chap a person would want to tile their bathroom.

Regarding the slight step after levelling the bathroom floor, how about making a feature of a decorative slanting wee 3" ramp, as it will be a trip hazard without it.

If you put a large kitchen whisk in the downspout hole you may be able to keep the gutters functional without using modern gutter covers (or use the modern ones if they are not visible.

crazy that he eyeballed those tiles with no spacers!

The tile is beautiful and the tiler is truly a skilled craftsman. He doesn't appear to be using spacers between the tiles but they still look perfectly aligned.

Herringbone pattern for the tiles - looks fab already, looking forward to seeing the end result!

Love all the updates! Oh it’s Herringbone / Chevron tile pattern . Loved watching the tiler do his thing.

Can I just say: I appreciate your music choices so much!

Love that wall colour with the painting of the nasturtiums, just perfect. And instead of green being cold, it is transformed into a grounded vibe, and the painting adds warm and calmness. ❤️

Absolutely beautiful. Poor Phillip getting wet because of stupid blocked downpipes. I am in my seventies and live in a normal home. There are no extra stories on my house but I have had to be out unblocking downpipes in the rain.😂😂😂😂. Well done, Phillip.❤ Love from Australia ❤️

Your Tile choice is stunning. Very earthy and gorgeous textures. The tiler is incredible what beautiful craftsmanship he has.

It’s looking wonderful. Beautiful textures and patterns, natural materials. Good to see Benoit looking so well. ❤

I love that Philip snuck in the boar anatomy.

It's amazing how to prevent jealousy, some geniuses pretend they cannot do something, thereby allowing us mere mortals to feel good about ourselves and think we did it ourselves. This also then creates a better end result on any project if the whole team feel as though they came up with the solutions, when it was really the genius who did. This genius leads the team to achieve the best results by allowing them to believe it was the individual team members ideas and concepts were theirs. Isn't that so Phillip?

The term you were looking for is Herring Bone, and it's going to look FABULOUS!

May I make a little suggestion to help? You need to put screens over the top of those downspouts. Screens with a pretty big grid. To stop the leaves and twigs from plugging up the downspouts, but let the water thru. And clean your gutters every fall once the leaves are down. You need the gutters clean for winter and spring storms. If you have trees with catkins in the spring, and other large seeds, then check the gutters then too. Put it on the monthly house/property cleaning calendar.

Your chateau is handsdown the best❤ Clean uncluttered lines let's the old girl speak for herself❤ You have both done well for her❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's nice to see another painting on the wall. The chateau longs for more art, I think

So good to know what you can do, and know when you need to get help, love seeing the men cutting down the trees.

Moving along nicely. You handle obstacles and take them in stride. Character building as well as renovation!

Those reclaimed vintage places are just great , loved all the out door statues and wrought and cast iron things there great place to put something extra in your garden . ❤

When for marble, come to Portugal! In Estremoz you'll have also the white one (sometimes exported to Italy and resold as Carrara😂), or go to Pero Pinheiro! I bought all my marble here, from the yellow, to white, really beautiful! And, as you mentioned in one of your episodes, we have absolutely stunning tiles, in all colours and shapes. Not only blue and white! Your bathroom is looking beatiful! Looking forward to see it complete! Congrats fron sunny Lisbon, Portugal

Anna and Phillip, your shower walls and floor look stunning!! Your tiler does superb work! Love your videos! Thank you for sharing ..

Quality renos, quality materials, quality workmanship - such a joy to watch!

Oh Anna, I love the floral painting on the entrance hall?? Well, where you were showing the tiles in front of the green wall. And the bathroom shower tiles look beautiful. Always fun to see the bantering between Phillip and the builders -Fun!!

The tiling in the shower is herringbone, so not far off with "fishbone". Quite popular up here in Scandinavia, or at least here in Denmark. And beautiful!

Herringbone I think its called . The tiles look just tge part and go well ❤loved watching as always ❤️

Love the tiles. You can always buff down the natural tiles of marble in the doorway to smooth them to a lower step for a better transition, or get a marble threshold transition or even have Benoit customize a wooden threshold.

That is one masterful tile setter !

We were in Morocco last November. Gorgeous tiles everywhere you look! Great choice to select tiles from there. They pride themselves on most things being handcrafted. 🇲🇦💕

Excellent choice, truly!! It is classic!

Hi! From Arkansas, USA! Our university’s mascot is the Razorback and the “wild boar” your husband wanted is actually by a European artist and we have them as fountains on campus!

I love it - Well done!! Your style is my favorite (simple, timeless, elegant). I also admire how uncluttered, and un-maximalist your spaces are AND despite the different colors in every room, the palette, for the most part, all works together in a calming way (nothing too jarring or over the top with different themes from room to room as so many others do in their chateaus….less Versailles and more French minimalism (focusing on quality, clean lines and natural materials). I think everything you’re doing is marvelous and I’m SO excited to see each finished project…….so hopefully, as soon as the house is 90% done, Philip can start on the outbuildings that are going to be studios & shops one day - THAT’S what I’ve been waiting for!! Community projects with a give back feel that are also business strategies for an income stream (that one day maybe the girls can take over and run) are my all time, absolute favorite things to watch develop….it makes me so happy!! Best of Luck

My wife and I are such big fans and for me, I love the beautiful Baroque music you feature in your videos. I was in fact here today to ask in the comments but see that you have posted the credit. I have also been curious if it is your friend performing. Stunning playing! Thank you!

Oooh, how intrigued I am to see final appearance of the bathroom and both rooms! Can’t wait the reveal episode!

That’s a herringbone pattern! About the level difference, I’ve seen tresholds (doorsteps) in old buildings with a halfrounded top. You can easily have Benoit manufacture something to that effect. Just ensure that there is flexibility in between the wood and the tiles - silicone or similar - to allow the wood to move and expand as needed.

You can use a molding from the tile to the floor often is marble or wood it cut on an angle from high to low. Amazon or Lowes any building or plumbing supply.
