We are not messing around, 2024 is off to a constructive and productive start! There’s lot’s of late night bathroom building in this French renovation project. A very fortunate and beautiful antique delivery. And we take a peak behind the curtain and show you where we are currently living, with a very satisfying before and after using feng shui to save our living room.
Thanks ‪@DearModern‬ for writing your book, and the inspiration!

Had a great week this week, drop a comment if you can spot Jack using the wrong tool 😂

What a lovely channel to stumble across! I feel though I’m watching Orlando Bloom with a choice kiwi accent.

@growinginfrance 17 дней назад

😂Far out, I haven't heard "choice" in a while! Takes me back ❤Thanks for stumbling our way!

Looks good guys, I’m really impressed how Jack works out what to do, I guess there’s a lot going on behind the scenes 😁

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I (Jack) watch a ton of videos before I dive into a project, Leroy Merlin has some really nice tutorials. We’ve been lucky enough to make some great friends who share their advice too. Plus there’s about 2 hours of footage every week of me standing in the middle of the room just staring and scratching my head 😂😂 I edit that bit out though 😉

@Neroli-Daydreaming-of-France 6 месяцев назад

I can relate! We’ll done though, because you get there in the end.@@growinginfrance

Have enjoyed finding your vlogs. I can't believe how positive the two of you have stayed. Keep up the good work and I look forward to following your progress.

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

It's great to have you here! Haha, Jack seems to have an endless supply of positivity, it is definitely needed! Thanks for the extra luck too ☺

The taps and shower rose are beautiful, great find! I recently got a vintage French hand basin off Le Bon Coin and its original brass bonde and tirette system still works perfectly, just needed new seals which I found at the hardware store. 😊

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Oh that sounds like just what I am looking for! Lucky you. You can find some real treasures, it just takes patience and a bit of good fortune. I absolutely love giving things a 2nd/3rd/4th life, we live in a treasure trove of a country too 😊🇫🇷

Great job 👍. Massive midnight oil effort on the bathroom and those faucets are epic!!! The rejig of the living room furniture is so effective, it looks like you chanelled that flow of energy just right. It’s interesting how when you got all that furniture in their new spots, my eyes appreciated the new balance and flow and I instantly felt better. That FS works, even on camera😂. Very cool of your mum to send you that pressie. Enjoy the rest of your week. It’s the summer school holidays here in NZ and I’m enjoying time with the granddaughter at the beach…remember how that was at this time of year 🏖️? I’ve never experienced a traditional snowy northern hemisphere christmas etc but I’d love to. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog😊

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Winter Christmas is a very different vibe, the children only get 2 weeks off and it’s back to business very quickly! It is lovely snuggling inside and eating chocolate all day in big jumpers though! On the other hand, Summer can’t come quick enough now, enjoy your special time with your granddaughter. Love that you felt the difference of the living room re-do, it’s changed how we can be as a family for the better. Thank you for your continued support! ❤️❤️

@thechatelaine 6 месяцев назад

so lovely enjoyed watching your Vlog and seeing how you are making yourselves comfortable. My chateau is a war zone at the moment. Sending you guys love!!

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

It goes a bit like that, feels like it has been a war zone here for a very long time but sorting out the lounge has brought a lot of mental peace, amazing what a relatively small change can make. You’ll be adding finishing touches soon!

@jmfs8738 6 месяцев назад

Congrats on the new walls! Q: Are you adding the new the bath, utility closet, kitchen, and dining area -next to your new living room? Or are you building a second living-unit beside your own? Best wishes!

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Thank you, so we are dividing the long house is half and will turn it into two smaller houses. So the space where the new bathroom etc is going will have its own living area kitchen etc… we will then move in there and where we are currently living will become the building site!

@jmfs8738 6 месяцев назад

Hat’s off to you! What a big under-taking! Three renovations seems quite ambitious. So glad you’re both full of good humor!

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

@@jmfs8738 Haha, yes three renovations is absolutely ridiculous 🤪 We have time though, hopefully!

@tracey4474 6 месяцев назад

Ketchup will clean your brass !

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Awesome, thank you, will try that first!

@amayastrata4629 6 месяцев назад

I’m going to try this. I usually use brasso. Be interesting to see what is better.

@jamesgause9546 9 дней назад

I found bras so so much brighter of a finish, so prettier. M.

@CynthiaBerry713 6 месяцев назад

You feng shui'd your way nicely into a better flow, good on you! Was that a pizza wheel Jack used to cut the sheet rock?? lol! Hey, whatever works! Stay warm!

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Haha good spotting on the pizza wheel!! I don't think he actually cut the plasterboard with it, just pretended for lols. Even I watched it was like huh, is this is a new clever tool/hack? No, just Jack being Jack. 😂

@amayastrata4629 6 месяцев назад

Is it going to be sound proofed enough? I suppose it doesn’t really matter for family but with visitors or guests?

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Great question ! We’ve got sound proofing insulation, are using sound proofing plasterboard on the outside, and then plan on building kitchen cabinetry and storage all around that wall so it (hopefully) will be. 🤞 will be ten times better than our current situation at least haha

@gingermonette7455 6 месяцев назад

Loving your channel! You two are so cute together. Thanks for showing your living space. I was wondering where you were living. Also wondering, do you have 'day jobs'?

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

Thank you ☺️ I (becs) am a photographer, weddings, families etc… and Jack is an app developer and support consultant.

@jeojeo9393 Месяц назад

What heating will you use in the newly renovated side ?

@growinginfrance Месяц назад

Heat pump 👍

@BarbaraatQueensAvenueTarot 6 месяцев назад

Can you not get a small electric heater? You'll be able to use it job after job and they aren't expensive. Great work.

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

I wish! Haha sadly our power supply isn't very balanced right now, and if I (Jack) plug in a heater it'll kill the power for everyone. Working keeps me warm though. ☺ Thanks

@mariwillalwaysgivethanks 6 месяцев назад

Just wondering ... are you going to leave that door in the bathroom? 🤷‍♂

@growinginfrance 6 месяцев назад

The old wooden door? We will keep the doorway but replace it with a new, double glazed and frosted one. It leads outside and will be perfect in summer for the kids hopping in and out from the pool.

@WeaselTM 3 месяца назад

You don't have an Emmaüs nearby? You should bring stuff there instead of to the dump. That table and chair might have been still for someone. 🤔

@growinginfrance 3 месяца назад

We do! We love Emmaüs. You'll see us visiting there in some other videos to drop stuff off (and of course pick up some goodies at the same time 😂). It only goes to the dechetterie when it's beyond anyone else's use, or full of woodlice (A real problem in our region)
