Welcome Back to bord Life everyone as you can possibly see we’ve opened the front windows we’re having a slight issue with humidity basically these big beams here are still damp from when it was raining uh month a couple of months ago it’s not great for the beam
So we’re trying to get as much air in whilst it’s a nice not rainy day we’ll say it’s not sunny but it’s not raining so we’ve opened everything up for that and as promised a couple of Vlogs ago we’re going to show you how we do the uh how
We do the kind of plaster board Rails morning Louie how’s it going everything good so we have been getting on a little bit already um I’ll show you where we’re up to and Louie has done this before and he’s going to take the lead on this one I’m going to be the leader your The Apprentice
Okay we’ll say that so I’m going to show you where we’re up to first and then we’re going to get straight on with it so we’ve put a few of the suspense so suspension brackets maybe I don’t know what call those in UK I’ve never used
Them in the UK I’ve only only used them in France so in France they’re called the susum so we put those in and then basically as you’ve seen downstairs we put these little rails they’re called f is that right Lou f f that is weird because yeah he’s better
At pronouncing it I don’t know why but um in this is how we say it in French I’m always learning but I’ll never get that one um so yeah we po those on next is the insulation and then those for for for uh it sounds like fur in French now
It’s the same like the F of the coat yes so it’s weird when you asked me to Bow them I was like f he’s saying bad stuff in the English guy but no it’s the name f okay let’s get screwing up hey Louie yep I’ll get some of these suspend
Um what what we actually doing Lou so first of all we put a a string uh to have the level and after we just have to screw the other ones but you will see that we have a trouble is that they’re quite too long so we cut
Them a bit like 1 cm to put them in go inside well this one is okay but you will see some some of them are not okay Louie yes I think you might have been on the wrong side of the string now I know you’re taking the lead but I know I’m
Just showing fast to Anna to make the plan for everybody to see L is explaining he’s explaining so everyone can understand exactly I’m just trying to save you in the comments teaching teaching I’m a good teacher okay so yeah just putting them but we have an angle to respect because after
The PLO is have to be straight so just try to find the angle plan it’s not good there a plane yeah it has to be in a oh flat yeah yeah flat yeah just find the angle yeah so that little hole on the side of the suspense that you’ve just
Got in your hand there that’s where you put the string in that little hole yeah exactly after we crush it yeah to crush it just have to touch F Well the string of just go in not touching cuz if I do it like this move the yeah move the rail
And it’s not straight and then you move out of the plane you’re not in the right plane then and it good but but but Louie how did you get those first ones in so I used the lazer to put all of the uh suspend uh straight just on this part on
The other part like that is the same level and just with the string can be normally perfectly straight Master the master has overtaken we will see at the end or The Apprentice has overtaken the master I thought you’d done it by eye I thought you had a really good eye you
Know how you always taking taking the out of my uh on my site I thought you’d done it by ey I’ve got beautiful eyes not good ones I cannot see any I cannot see anything we started him off now right let’s get going oh God how come I have the high
End because you’re theier okay here we go then am I doing it right Lou nope look at the other one more straight yes now other angle am I good Louie well you’re on the wrong side first of all okay this you have to respect the angle of the other ones mine’s going to
Need a cut then yeah so but we have troubl we have just one scissors so cut some of them yes cut 10 or 20 for me I can’t work in conditions like this Lou why did you not have two pairs who’s in charge of the tools here ask the boss
Ask the boss to buy another one cut maybe like three four okay he’s being generous with me on that note I am going to um going to show you later on in this video where we’re up to on the budget because we’ve had the roof
Back in the the the price I’m not paid him yet but but he’s given me his bill um and there’s a few other things that have added to that list so we can see where we’re up to on the budget so Lou tell not to cut too much and
You’re well I’m just I’m just ignoring him bravo bravo chef Sh don’t tell Lou what I just did did you make a mistake no no how’s it going Lou good good you testing Lou no go on Anna what did you just say about the scaffold well why and are using a l when behind me we have because I like dropping things on the
Floor okay okay good idea Anna but on saying that I need to be at this level so those the kind of safety of the scaffold is just the same as these but at least it’s easier to use Lou I’m using the scaffold okay I this is your scaffold this this
One this is for you making no over there the good thing is he advancing with work yeah two hours for two pieces it’s quality yeah do a time lapse I was going to say talking about this being Anna’s scaffold put in the comments if you’d like to see Anna doing
Some work instead of me doing the work I’ll do the filming but then Anna can still do the editing well then it’s extra extra work for me so how is that fair I don’t know who said it was fair Lou la thank you for holding the
Mic for me higher than your lther so the same level your lther is same level as the scaffold but look at Louise so that’s why he needs the taller one so let me go it straight Lou is taller than me and has the taller lad Mercy Lou I’m the Boss can I ask a question are you doing this on purpose to get me far further behind Lou well not really go on what’s your question why do you have cuz I was looking around where do you have like a plumbing pipe down there so you do take note that there’s
No bathrooms on this side yeah yeah uh okay we’re going to play a game with me or no with the uh with the uh with the audience bordo lifers yeah with the bordo lifers we’re not allowed to say bordo lifers somebody told me off for that so with our viewers of bordo
Life um why would we have some random pipe coming up hold on make it a little bit easier for you okay so we got this pipe and it’s going to have this on and it’s just going to be like there so yeah why would we have this random pipe with
This attachment on halfway up a uh a wall between two bedrooms when all the bathrooms are on the other side of the build so I’m giving a I’m giving a hint there so it’s not for a bathroom Okay so who’s going to say the answer well the
Viewers the viewers okay let us know guys in the comments bravo bravo bravo bravo Chef so Anna Anna just said the answer she knew it straight away didn’t you mom well I did eventually you learn you live and learn well yeah you’ve had to live
With me for so long 15 15 years married this year how long together that’s uh 17 yeah he remembers L he remembers you smell so much love here in this house in B I saw photos of you guys when you maybe at your wedding head was looks so
Much in love oh that was back in the day oh it’s so much easier on this scaffold are you done no I got jelly legs no uh it’s uh it is a lot easier on the scaffold though you were right for once you were right my love thank you so much to
Taking care of me he needs to Finish the build that’s why L ah yeah um I hope it’s going to be good I’m sure it will be Good So we’ve been cracking on for a couple of days thought it’d be interesting to show you the advance after a couple of days so you get to see a bit more of the stages of course we put lots more of those um fixing fixations on on the
Beams and uh and we’ve gone on a little bit further but let’s go have a look downstairs first and then we’ll go and see where me and Lou got up to so down here we’ve got two sets of lights for this room lots of spots Anna likes lots
Of spots I do love spots so we’ve got a a um a light switch here and it’s going to be a double light switch a future light switch yeah light switch sorry and it’s going to be let me just get this right yes it was this one so it’s going
To be all of those lights on one switch and these lights on another switch you got like kitchen and then living and dining area so lots of light cuz when you’re cooking yeah but it’s not just that it it’ll give a nice atmosphere as well you don’t have to
Have all the lights on no and then that’s why you put the double switch like so you can have one on one off I’ve actually got my bottom into gear and I’ve ordered this uh bfold door from the UK um and why did you order it from the
UK and well I ordered it from the UK cuz first of all timing uh in France they don’t have them in stock um they’re all made to measure but in the UK you’ve got them in stock and with them being in stock you get certain sizes that are a little bit
Cheaper I think I’ve made a saving but we’ll have to see because may have tax bill as it comes across well it’s on its way now but as it comes across the uh Lon as it comes across the uh Channel um you know of course um there might be import
Duties okay but we have advancement yeah but the thing is i’ I’ve bought one of those before off them and they’re really good uh really good product and at least I know that it’s a good product and uh we’re good let’s go up and see Louie yep and here’s Louie up
Here wait until I turn hi guys hello so as you can see we’ve been working quite hard a bit too hard I say we have we’ve kept some to show you so of course last time you saw just of those fix fixations I can’t think what
They’d be called in English are they Su well the sus susp in French but yeah these kind of fixations were all on and we’re getting on with that so all we’ literally done since is clip some of the metal on and then push the uh the installation
In so that’s like the last pretty much four days yeah and uh yeah we’ve got a few left to show you how we do it um because we like to show the full process before we go there yes we have questions Lou what happened uh few guys
Want to go in the passion project 10 guys very strong so I take them out of the property but they touch me no I play football and somebody give me a that that that was what I told you to say well had to give me a big punch because
I’m too slow yeah now he’s playing football would you yeah yeah I played football this suay and and well that’s part of the job a no but it’s not part of the job that’s part of the the playing yeah yeah but I take football I have a big salary like Paris s gerain
Man City guy you know okay enough chat about Lou poorly eye look like a bad guy now with the tattoo please don’t hit me Lou um yeah let’s get on let’s get these last at least one of these these last one in before lunch let’s go uh we need a little
Extension so basically these clip the metal that’s already up there to the metal we’re going to clip up there because you can you only really want to buy them in 3 MERS otherwise they’re too hard to handle and these make it so much e they’re fairly expensive but they make
It so much easier to clip clip the uh the two metals together which let’s see we’ll start on this one down here like I say we’ll show you that one and then we’re going to stop for lunch because a little bit hungry uh Lou P shall to play wait
Outfits uh Anna come around here so this is this slides in it’s like a like a double female connector and it slides in here oh okay and then oh that’s where you join the two yeah normally the stop actually stops you but I pushed it too much there so it kind of
Just about fits in before this so we’re really lucky um if it didn’t we’ have to push it on along a bit Lou do you want another black eye get on with it come on you will have trouble with my with my mom I can’t go there no comment
Okay uh that Mo that out the way for okay maxi no okay so I put it in to the connector I had to bend the suspense so I’m bending it back and of course the Metal’s kind of being pushed down but then you just clip it in here’s where we find out if
Lou Camp put it in the right place C we need 1 cm left on the last one but every centimeter counts Lou no uh let’s just push it down from here yeah yeah that’s is it clipped in no wait yes yes if you can push it back a little bit I’d be
Happier no too much keep it on your is it on still no no clip it back on yeah is that on there we go we left half a centimeter yeah that’s over here we’re good that’s good so that’s one on should we get another one on Lou
Yeah so the reason we left either every other one is so we could work the the yeah so we could get it in easier put everything in quite hard yeah looking really good so long as it’s not looking a pig’s ear or a Louise eye
Oh be careful to the Karma yes I know I’ll be falling off the ladder in a second wait okay do you need it that way a bit more no I’m fine okay it’s as easy as that it’s a good good way of doing it yeah so on that note let’s knit back to
The shatter and go through the numbers well before I we do that I’m going to show everyone where we’re at to here oh have you not shown everyone okay before we have a look at the budget I just wanted to remind you all that we have a antique and Gourmet wine week
Coming up soon at Lagos at the start of May if you’re interested in that where we’ll be taking you out to to have a look at the Canon antique fair and possibly to a auction then uh please get in touch via the email on Anna’s website
Uh let’s go have a look at the budget as promised here’s where we’re up to with the budget um changes since last time dny our roofer has gone in at 12,300 I think that’s exceptional value we did help him a lot so he did give us
A reduction on that it was due to be about 15 but um and then underfloor heating’s gone on at 1346 that includes everything apart from the tile adhesive uh byold doors we’ve now ordered the Bold doors they’re at the moment about somewhere between 3 and
4,000 I don’t know what it’s going to be because I have import duties to pay on it um the bits and Bobs have just carried on ticking on and on and on and on and we’re up to 10,896 quite a lot really if you think about it’s just things that we just go
And buy you know just that we need so so far excluding the two big ones are Louis and serial maybe 5 to 10,000 and the Bold doors maybe 3 or 4,000 so far we’re at 225,000 uh total spend I’m still hoping Beyond hope that we can get it in under budget of
250,000 if we can I think we’ve done a really really good deal there on that note thank you all for watching if you’ve not subscribed Please Subscribe give us a thumbs up and of course pop a little comment in for us as well ring that Bell because when you

Congratulations on 15yrs😊
I have never seen this for a ceiling insulation found it very interesting thank you😊
Never seen green insulation😊
ceiling hangers is the word you cant find…
You had us convinced it literally just slapped up. But the finessing is always off camera. Next is the change of plaster boarding. That's going to be a shock!
Anna is amazing
Is it a vent pipe
Did a old place in Nfld. Sealed up the house, jacked up everything to where it needed to be, run dehumidifier and fans for 4 months, all good.
then started renovation and structural repair/rebuilding.
Attaching new wood to old moist wood is asking for trouble
Put tar paper(or something similar)r between old wood an new
Manufactured beams or laminated ply is much stronger than regular wood beams
❤love your channel❤
How close are you to fitting the front door?
It’s looking brilliant ….
Is the pipe for venting the bathroom drains?
We put dimmer switches on our LED lights. That way we can dim the lights or make them full bright.
Good to see all of you! It is going to be beautiful!
The enormous beams and ceiling insulation make me realize the huge scope of this project. Wow. Edd you truly can do anything !
What goes between the insulation bats? Looks like too much space between to be effective.
Condensation pipe for air conditioner?
I also think Anna is a hard working woman, but it woud be fun to see you guys chance roles. I'm convinced she woud do a good job!!
Pipe in the Middle no cleu! Louis sounded a little bit jalous there about the love between you two an the 15 year marriage lol😅
I learned once paper-side goes towards the wall/ceiling on insulation. Would love to know more about the type of insulation you use.
So much nice work done. So interesting, love watching all the progress. Like Louie, he is such fun. Well insulated it looks like. Great job! All the best!
