Louis keeps his hard hat on when painting with Ed. There must be a story there.

I think you should remove the foliage growing between the sidewalk and building. They may be minor weeds now but time makes them stronger and undermines building integrity. If you want color and foliage go with window boxes

I thought the same. They serve no purpose.

Edd, I really don't mind watching you and Louis paint. The banter between the two of you is entertaining. Anna keeps us entertained also. I hope the weather improves for you soon.❤

I like you do 3 min. of work then show the results of what you have done then 3 min of work. If you filmed everything you wouldn't be able to get as much done. I can't believe that nasty dark place is so bright and beautiful. I'm sure your neighbors love you.

@teresaobrien663 24 күн бұрын

Ed & Anna, with your property being connected to both properties on either side & them having both painted all their trim white, it’s the perfect opportunity for you to add a pop of whatever color you think best suits your facade, for the shutters & doors. As the corner connecting property, it will be a beautiful accent for the entire combined building. I don’t think it is showy in a bad way, but rather an attractive way that improves the look of the entirety 🥰

It sounds as though you are getting a lot of do’s and don’t’s in the comments. You are doing a lot of things, and while most of us probably like watching you progress on a project like your rebuild, you also have a life. So do what you can, keep being yourselves, and if people are not happy they can go somewhere else, or skip a vlog that does not make them happy. I would imagine that they bore people too and maybe those people are kind enough not to complain. Every site we watch is different. That is what makes it fun.

The Passion project is so beautiful and so glad your first guests was such a success. So happy for you all. Louie hard at work! Yes I have been anxious to see what you all do with the outside to make it beautiful again. The windows are so pretty and make such a difference. Nice, this will save you a lot of time!!! Yes, we have those liners for the tray ,,, saves a lot of time. Also, here if we are painting the next day, we put the roller into a plastic grocery of plastic bag then put in the refrigerator until ready to use it again. Keeps a long time and saves a lot of clean up! I hope Louie's shop does well and a great success. Louie is so funny. Your alls wood quality is much better than our here in the USA. Painting is part of your restoration ... i don't mind it at all. So happy how the restoration is going. Take care of yourself Edd. All the best. Love the windows.

Love what you have done to the inside of the Bordeaux building. Cleaning the outside changes it from drab to exciting. Live the glass doors inside. Allows for sooo much light. And the stairways going up looked great from the angle I saw. Good luck with Bordeaux big house but please don't leave the townhouse to the squatters. You've done too much to let people destroy your hard work. Bonne chance et bon vie❤

Hi when you use plaque age, have you used or heard of a French product called St one, its a lime based dry mix alternative, you apply it and leave it proud of the finished result and then scrape it back using any suitable tool even a hacksaw blade to get the desired finish then when it is set solid you can actually carve it, this stuff is used on many cathedrals, it would save you a lot of time, worth looking into.

I LOVE the blue colour of the door you'll be putting in, but I think you could go a little deeper with it and add just a little black to the blue to create more of a navy. If you added some good or brass leaf to the metal grill, it would pick up that lovely detail and show off how stunning the door really is.
