I was personally happy to hear you talk about your self-education with antiracism. I think it's important for non-americans to realize that this is not just a US issue. I hope that you continue your own journey after it's no longer "trending" on social media. I know that I will. :) Also, the toilet room looks sooooo much better, wow!

@LauraMelhuishSprague 4 года назад

Thank you Elise. It certainly isn't an issue for the US alone to come to terms with. I am trying to find some more UK focused material right now to see how our systems compare 😊💕

@@LauraMelhuishSprague I'm Canadian, and I know that a lot of people here just go with a "well at least we're not as bad as the US" type sentiment, and I don't think that's a very truthful or constructive sentiment... so it's good for all of us to dig a little deeper into our country's history! :)

I hardly ever comment on youtube, however you are the second content provider I feel compelled to make a comment on. Being British born of Pakistani origin, I work for the UK police and have done for the last 20yrs plus. White privilege and racism have existed in the police, long before I joined and I believe still do exist. However the current momentum of the BLM movement and social media platforms are bringing a change. So thank you for personally accepting the changes you need to and are willing to make and I hope your followers will also make the positive change. Netflix "When They See Us" is a heart breaking true docu-soap about racism and the impact it has. Please watch it. PS I love your home reno content :)

Im so gald that you mention BLM. It is overwhelming these pass couple of weeks, however i feel over the moon that other countries are hosting protest not only for the unfortunate events in the US, but also encourage change in their home town. And for more education on racism and other forms of racism. There are movies/documentary stories on Netflix, books by activist, and i will also recommend learning about racism in public and private education for our youth. 💛

@ChendGolden 4 года назад

Its important that we also educate ourselves on racial injustice in the UK, especially the colonial history. We often see the George Floyd situation as an American one, but in fact a large proportion of white settlers in the US were from Britain and many similar events have and are occurring right here too. The racism runs deep! Btw, I’m enjoying your channel, lots of inspo while I house hunt! X

You are doing such a fabulous job with the house! I just want to leave one tip about the wallpaper removal. When i strip wallpaper, I first scratch it with a old exacto knife so the moisture can get in easier then I apply diluted (with water about 50/50) wallpaper paste. After that I cover it with plastic sheets and do other jobs while the moisture penetrates the wallpaper. Sometimes I've left over night even. After that it's hopefuly easy to scrape off the wallpaper. Haha, lazy by nature I'd rather let the materials work for me instead.

@awatson6773 4 года назад

Try using a mixture of fabric softener and warm water in a spray bottle for stripping the bottom layer of wallpaper. Doesn't blow the wall like a steamer and it smells nice!

I believe the bottom part of the wall paper it's called *ANAGLYPTA* and it might be original to the house since it is very common on victorian houses. It's kind of a paper paste therefore dificult to remove. It still produced. Loving your series.

@acmulhern 4 года назад

Many homes in the UK have toilet rooms that are very small and don't have a sink, especially if the house is a bit older. It's still nice to have it in a separate room, even if you need to wash your hands in the bathroom, because it just keeps the smells away from a room that you'd like to enjoy a bath in for example. Newer homes or extensions will make sure to have the toilet room large enough to also have a sink in it though.

@LauraMelhuishSprague 4 года назад

Hi Laura:) watching you for a long time now. We re renovating an old house in Ireland. What did you use for panelling? Is it MDF or plywood? And what size? I mean depth? What primer have you used.. Need to start the wood work shortly:)

@oliverwelch1672 4 года назад

Hi Anna, we used standard mdf as it’s a temporary bathroom. For a permeant room we’d go with moisture resistant mdf if it’s likely to get humid (bathroom). The back boards in here were all 3mm hardboard actually and then 6mm mdf for the raised sections. We made a start a while back on our hallway panelling and for that we used different thicknesses for the backs so that it all matched, ended up using both 9mm and 6mm. If you have good smooth walls you could use thinner. In the bathroom we used a basic wood/wall paint in white for primer but try and use a mdf primer for a really good finish. If you ever need really good paint advice you can give Holman paints a call. Hope that helps!

Hi Rebecca, it’s the Titan nail gun from Screwfix. I think laura linked to it in a recent video ‘what we couldn’t be without’. There are two very similar I think we went for the slightly more expensive one as it can take 32mm nails (doesn’t mention this in the pack but works fine) 😄

I was just watching your video on your home update witch was great. Then you mentioned on the BLM to my surprise you said you were sending money to the USA to help witch was also good but what about what is happening on your door step. I am trying to understand if you think what is happening in the USA is not happening here every day. I have a suggestion if I may a book for you called Rough Crossings Britain, the slaves and the American Revolution. I hope this will help with your understanding

Thank you Jacqueline. Absolutely not, I am fully aware that the UK has similar issues around race as in the US. My parents educated me about Stephen Lawrence just as I have learnt about George Floyd. However the current Black Lives Matter movement has been most prominent in the US and in my adult life has been the only one to achieve critical mass. After watching 13th I decided to make a donation to Equal Justice Initiative. My reasoning for the donation was not in response to the current events (though they did prompt my learning) but more for the impact political and industry groups have had on the American justice system and some of the very inflammatory tactics used by even very recent (and current) presidents. I am still on the look out for more UK centric material that takes a similar look at our systems and racism in modern Britain.

One thing that I’ve learned through all of this is to research the statistics myself. You would be shocked to see the actual numbers . look up the FBI statistics for 2018 in the United States for race crimes and police involvement . it’s important you research the source.
