Your kitty is doing her job! Floor is looking great! Everything you do on the old homestead is bringing it back to life, no matter how long it takes you to do it. Being patient makes things run smoother. If that old house could talk, it would thank you tremendously for bringing it back to its former glory!
So beautiful house/place you got. Nice floor. Look like a big renovation is going on. Then I can look forward to more great videos. Keep up the God work. Greeting from a Norwegian subscriber/viewer
I've watched all your videos. Outstanding work. Truly rising to the level of the opportunity to save such an amazing piece of history. I wondered why you didn't put in radiant heating tubing during your insulation and screeding phase. I wish I could visit someday.
I am so glad to see you both protecting your knees. I kneeled on a concrete floor at work to unplug some wires. My knee was killing me afterwards and got worse from meniscus.
Neat to see. Very similar construction style as my wife's home in Mexico. Raw materials dropped off, family builds the house themselves. Most of the floors done in tile. Very nice.
That looks really good, called the Versailles pattern, a real bugger to get right if you do not keep your mind on the job, I made a sheet up and as I layed a tile my wife ticked it off, the problem was the small square tiles were 3mm thinner, so when I put extra adhesive to bring them level it squirted up through the holes, the pattern is well worth the effort though, nice to see you did it the proper way, laying from the centre line, rare to see that in France!

Great Job !! Installation method correct and meticulously done. You are way above average handy man skill , better than some professionals. I am now sub'd and look forward to more of Your videos.
Loving your install!! Question from Canada, we would back-butter the tile here, is that common for you or not? I’m not any kind of professional, just curious. Enjoying the channel and subscribed!
Sos un Genio! impresionante trabajo! realmente es todo una perfección. Me encanta verte y verlos! felicitaciones por tanto talento y expertise! 👏👏👏🏆🔝💯💯💯🔝🏆
Excellent work. Looks freakin awesome. I just wish that somewhere between the concrete, screed and tile, that you would have put some in-floor heating mat. Electric or some hydronic tubing. There's nothing like radiant floor heating. Great job nonetheless.
Good dry pack float,check, good design, check, mixing wand and drill, check, half inch notched trowel, check, no knee pads, no check.... really sore knees. Bare at that! Now that's hard core!
Great effort, the only thing I'd say is use an acrylic primer or SBR instead of PVA as PVA only dries so any water ingress can pop your tiles off and keep your lines going the same direction when raking out your adhesive so they collapse properly and give you good coverage :)
Gratulacje..Ciekawe układ kafelek pasuje do historycznego budynku. Przypomina mi się jak własny dom.Wiem ile to ciężkiej pracy. Biali dużo potrafią zrobić i chcą..Pozdrawiam z Polski
Où avez-vous acheté le travertin ? la finesse de la pierre ne risque pas de la rendre plus fragile que des dalles de pierre massive (2 cm) ? est-ce que c'est une pierre locale de la région ? En tout cas bravo pour le travail, c'est très joli.
Really enjoying these videos. I do wish there was some kind of order to watch them in like numbering rather than having to search through all the videos for the next step. Like the concrete floor in the barn I wonder what happened to that. Was the who,e barn done or what. I couldn’t find anything after the concrete ring lintel either.
carlrogers I’ll keep at it, it’s a bit like pot luck, still I never watched Star Wars in any order. The vids are all excellent and I am really enjoying them. The Gers, lovely, La Romieu, Lectoure, ( we hope to have a photography show there soon) Gazapouy, Condom the lovely village of Fleuris and the flower festival, really fond memories of that area and if I moved from Scotland that’s where I would end up. You are living my dream. Best wishes and keep up the great work.
At first, the laying pattern looked odd and somewhat arbitrary. But in the end I find it quite charming! Is it typical for certain regions or has it got a particular name?
That's how they are made, polished titles have lots of holes but are filled in with glue and powder. This type has a more rustic feel which suits the farmhouse قفشات الأفلام
Good job, however, since the support is made of natural stone, it has little absorption, so I give it double gluing, on the floor and on the tile, otherwise very good job, regards
Because of my age and my experiences and my disabilities now can I please ask you to get a good set of knee pads! I thought I never needed pads and did not realize what I was doing to the structure of my knees and it’s natural cushioning . You do not realize how many times I watch you kneeling on rough and hard surfaces just like myself. I wish I had purchased those dumb looking pads back then and save my knees so I could kneel or even walk up or down stairs. !
I’ve laid countless floors over the years, but would seriously recommend wired underfloor heating before tiling, the way the cost of gas is going it makes sense, is far cheaper to install than piped and extremely efficient to run not to mention no need to service. I love what you guys do but seeing a tiled floor going down on a perfect screed without exploiting underfloor wired heating is I think a wasted opportunity as I sit here in my kitchen, rad less with toasty feet on my tiles. Equally who am I to say, each to their own.
The rustic appearance with all the pits is exactly what I like about it. It wouldn’t make sense to install a brand new, high gloss tile in a 300 year old farm house like that.
Yeah this is not a good method of installing tile... at min you should have your trowel marks running vertical all in the same direct so you can collapse the ridges and you need to back butter these large stone tiles. Your coverage is weak bro... but decent job on the layout...
i hope you took the mouse to the vet, it wasnt dead it was just in shock, poor sweetheart. great job, beautiful elegant tiles but why no floor heating?
