Yanis made short work of those shutters but I’ll admit that seeing him in the windows made me nervous. Sadie you did an amazing job removing the wallpaper, I figured steaming it off was the only way to remove it. Tile will be wonderful in the bathroom, so easy to clean. Another great day of work!
Yanis really is the man! I love watching him work as he puts his whole heart into it. Your apartment is well on its way to being gorgeous Sadie. The views are spectacular! Thank you for sharing your journey.. 😊❤
Yannice. You are really a very hard worker. You run around like a squirrel, never take it easy . You doing all the hard job with a smile on your face. Billy has the best team
Spray paint would do a much better finish than a brush. So glad Yanis can help you! He is quite a guy!! Enjoying your progress, and your videos, Sadie! 👍🌷🐻
Sadie, you and Yannis are very determined workers. Way to go. You are making steady progress and I'm sure you feel tired but very satisfied at the end of each day. 👍
Again, this apartment is such a pleasant, inviting space - lovely, lovely natural light, interesting and appealing windows and shatters. Yanis, you are an amazing lad, incredible asset and you've come such a long way from last summer - from apprentice help to almost irreplaceable skillful master of several trades! It's lovely to be able to follow your growth, you being so kind, humble, hard working and motivated to learn and to achieve your best potential. Please, be cautious, though. You work very fast and very hard, please make sure you are protected and secured from falls and injuries. It's been nerve wracking watching you on that open window. Please, do take care. Stay well all!
Painting the trim will be fine as it is so far from the sink. Yannis is such a kind industrious soul. Always willing to work hard with enthusiasm. Such a lovely person. Taking off those shutters is another step forward. Looking forward to your next video❤
I love the window seat, it will be a wonderful feature in the room. Yannis is a fantastic young man, so agile and strong! You have made a lot of progress this week and I am happy to follow your journey.🙏❤️
Yes, what a lovely idea. I have seen so many gorgeous pieces of antique stained glass in frames which could be windows. :) Not only would it allow light in but it would be a gorgeous statement piece.
Well done, Yanis!!! I'm so grateful he's able to give you a hand, Sadie. I really loved the music you picked for this video too. You did a super cool job with the editing on this one. I really like the idea of putting in a box to connect the two windows in the bathroom. Figuring out the right size so it looks nice with the facade outside might be tricky but worth it. Maybe beef up the insulation inside that dead space around the window box so you're nice and snug inside. Then you wouldn't have to look at the dusty debris when you open that window. Painting the trim copper is a brilliant cost saving solution. I'm so glad someone suggested it. As long as it's washable it will work perfectly. Sending you and Yanis a big hug. Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💖💗💕
Mighty Yannis has done it again....great job!! Yes, the copper paint on the trim would be just so much better and is more cost effective. Doing a great job Sadie!! Just wondering if Billy shouldn't repair and paint the exterior of the windows at some point. I know that he doesn't have a cherry picker right now but maybe up the road he could do the windows as you could never get out there.
Great job! As to the outside of the window frames and the wall bit that’s a void I’d say that is a job for the landlord!!!!! Joking aside, I’m sure Billy is a very good landlord! Hugs!
You don’t need a gym when there’s wallpaper that needs removing. 💪🏼😊 Get it Sadie, you’re doing awesome! 👍🏻 If you’re going to paint the edging use spray paint instead of regular paint. The finish would look much better.
I second the spray paint suggestion. It will definitely give you a better finish, and you should be able to get a nice metallic copper colour for not very expensive. Also, I would suggest measuring and cutting your pieces (mitred corners will look neater) of trim before spraying them. That way there is no chance of messing up the paint finish while cutting.
Dear Sadie, this video today makes me realize, Not (!) every music fit's any Video (Billy asked a lill while ago). Your choice today, is real good! I mean, the Part where Yanis takes out the shutters is like a whole New Style ! W=At the End, when I saw how High Yanis workes O-m-G! I got the jitters!
Have you considered relocating the sink under the window? You could inset it into the space between the two walls and box it in with Sheetrock. The plumbing is right nearby with the old sink. It would free up floor space to allow easier movement and possibly a larger tub and/or shower. Basically a shelf with pipes underneath and a vessel style sink, just don’t forget an access panel for the pipes.
It's coming along beautifully, Sadie. I'm so glad Yannis has been there helping out. Those shutters looked like a pain to remove but he did a great job of it, as always.
You could put some lovely storage in that space between the wall and window. Drawers or covered shelving. Somewhere to put laundry detergent, towels, etc. you can never have enough storage.
Hello lovely Sadie onwards and upwards that paper looked so hard o take of but you didn't let it beat you .May I say you have the most beautiful eyes ,and don't know who does your eyebrows but they are perfect .
The idea of boxing that window in is what I was going to suggest..have a way-like a longer handle-to open the outside window when wanted, but boxing it in would give you some circulation...so good idea. Yanis is a good guy.
💕We all look at how we can convert spaces in different ways💕What you see as not worth it another may think differently it doesn’t mean that anyone is right or wrong it’s just shows how we are all unique with our ideas💕
If there is no access reason to leave that space between the windows open, I would build in a cupboard there. Basically, find a chest of drawers and build it into the wall. That would give you a deep ledge with the window at the back so you can still clean the window and a nice deep shelf for a tray of pretty supplies. (Tile the top of that shelf ) The drawers make for a nice linen cupboard in such a small space.
Well done Yannis, little cheeky wave from the attic window. Certainly makes one smile watching you. Such a hard worker. I’m pleased you’re helping Sadie. There are some things that women just cannot do and it’s good to have a little rocket person like you. Enjoy your weekend coming up, love the videos, good luck with it all Sadie 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
I started pretty low though, $1200 thereabouts. The returns came massive. Joel is in school doing well, telling me of new friends he's meeting in school, while my daughter just gained admission.
Sadie I think Billy should do the window woodwork repairs as they are also structural in keeping out the weather from entering the facade. He needs to take a look at it and decide to repair or replace the exterior window frames. I'm thinking replace the whole frame and reinstall the same windows. I wouldn't do any decorating on those walls until the window frames are decided/sorted. Get a can of copper spray paint and a can clear coat sealer, after the copper coat(s) put at least 3 layers of clear coat on top, that way the copper trim will last for years. Michael or Billy might even have some clear coat sealer that you can use for that tiny bit of trim. I also put grout sealer on my tile grout in damp places, it protects it from turning colour, losing colour, and getting mildew it comes in a bottle and can be put on with a cotton stick (Q-tip). My white grout on the kitchen floor is still white after 5 years. This year I will clean it with grout cleaner, repair any grout if needed and reseal it again. I only use a damp micro fibre cloth and dish soap to clean my floors with a Swiffer mop - quick and easy. I won't have to scrub them again for another 5 years lol. The sealer is expensive but worth every penny, I give my grout 3 coats because I have a dog.
Hey Sadie, that's one way of getting rid of the shutters, call in back-up. Yanis always does an amazing job. Well done on the wallpaper. I agree with @erin.stewart use spray paint on the molding. Beautiful job today. Love from N.Y.
In the bathroom, you could make cabinets on either side of the window for towels and products. It would be a nice storage area even if it doesn't go all the way to the floor.
I would put a rail outside the windows maybe something decorative to keep anyone or thing from falling out maybe Billy can install some ironworks and start with yours as you are to be living there with Olivia and possibly a pet or two. Glad Yanis was being careful a shame he couldn't borrow the blue mini picker to guard for him. I think if someone can clean up that well area so at least it is clean but like you I wouldn't move the wall back. I would however remove part of the wall opposite to incorporate the larger window in the next room make your bath larger and move the door so it faces same direction as said window.
Sadie, your apartment will be lovely, thanks to Yanis's tremendous help, lately. Do tell, though, weren't the shutters functional/helpful to keep out cold rains/hail/winds/snow/storms? Won't you need them replaced, if only for glass safety??? Please address this in a video discussion. Also, how will your moving to convent, away from horses, affect your need to be close to them at all times??? Or are you minutes away??? Love your videos, and the dear horses, Sadie. You are such a lover of animals, and they love you so much, too...Thank you so much.
I think the plumber said he could put it in the attic and then run lines down to both floors. Would eliminate unsightly and space eating units in apartment. Hope that works out!
It’s great to see Yannis so happy destroying things. When he’s done with the convent and chateaux, I’ll buy a building in Erne so he can continue with demotion. 😇😜
Good job keeping up the dailies. Michael might have a thought about the double window situation. I think you should discuss the wood the shutters were attached to with Billy. I love a nice bedroom curtain. I go top of wall to bottom of wall and heaps wider than the frame, and detachable lining. That way if the lining rots you can replace it and the curtains are still good.
