That one!
Ha-hah.
9
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:17,760
It's been a lot of hard work.
10
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Oh, that's heavy.
11
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,280
But a lot of fun, too.
12
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,320
Families! Families!
Cheers!

there are other intrepid British
families doing exactly the same.
16
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,880
there are other intrepid British

there are other intrepid British
families doing exactly the same.
18
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,240
I'm just randomly drilling holes
in the wall at the moment.
19
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:34,320
I'm just randomly drilling holes
in the wall at the moment.
20
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,360
Now Angel and I are once again

That's working for me.
24
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,720
I love it!
25
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,240
We'll meet some new faces...
26
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,280
Dee-dee!
27
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:45,760
Dee-dee!
28
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:47,160
..and some old friends.
29
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,080
And we'll reveal more
about our own chateau life.
30
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,000
And we'll reveal more
about our own chateau life.
31
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,040
You're Monsieur Dick!

You're Monsieur Dick!
33
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,240
There'll be plenty of highs...
34
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:57,560
Yay!
35
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520
..and lows.
36
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,840
No! No!
37
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,840
But however hard it gets...
38
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,200
Whoa!
39
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,240
..they're all battling to transform
these abandoned buildings...
40
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,560
..they're all battling to transform
these abandoned buildings...
41
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,520
It's not the size of the
wine press that matters,
42
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,240
it's what you do with it.
43
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,280
..into extraordinary homes
and businesses...
44
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,320

Oh, this is wonderful.
46
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:18,360

of their very own castle.

53
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,240
Honey, stop, stop, stop!
54
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:33,560
Honey, stop, stop, stop!
55
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,280
You're going to spray paint
everywhere.
56
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,320
Precise, precise.
57
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,040
Precise, precise.
58
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,960
..puts someone in the doghouse.
59
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,840
Go away!
Go!
60
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,560
New chateau DIY-ers have
a communication breakdown.
61
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,960
New chateau DIY-ers have
a communication breakdown.
62
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,640
I know I didn't go and check.
63
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,680
I just thought we were just
thinking on the same thing.
64
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:52,440
I just thought we were just
thinking on the same thing.
65
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,480
Not only did you not check,
you never told me.
66
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:55,320
Not only did you not check,
you never told me.
67
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,360
Telepathy!
68
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:57,640
Telepathy!
69
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680
It's baby toad rescue at our place.
70
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,000
It's baby toad rescue at our place.
71
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,560
They're all running
away at a rate of knots.
72
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,280
You actually have to chase them.
73
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Look how many are in there.
74
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,560
Look how many are in there.
75
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Whoa!
76
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,680
And one returning couple
could get an unlucky break...
77
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,960
And one returning couple
could get an unlucky break...
78
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,000
That one's falling out,
quickly, there, that one.
79
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,240
That one's falling out,
quickly, there, that one.
80
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160
Ah!
81
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,400
..as they face the ups and downs
of a new batch of renovations.

They are amazing places
and they've got character,
94
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,640
they've got big, thick walls,
95
00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:49,680
all that stuff that you don't
get in a modern house nowadays.
96
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:50,160
all that stuff that you don't
get in a modern house nowadays.
97
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160
We like to be a little bit different
98
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,200
and certainly not everybody
buys a chateau in France.
99
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,240
and certainly not everybody
buys a chateau in France.
100

and certainly not everybody
buys a chateau in France.
101
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,520
They bought their unique home,

located 60 miles from Bordeaux,

With costly upkeep and a huge
mortgage still to pay off,

00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,440
With costly upkeep and a huge
mortgage still to pay off,

they rent out the entire chateau
each summer to bring in income.

We stay on our houseboat
in Cheshire.
113
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,360
This is the life, isn't it?
114
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,400
And then we return in September,
and stay all through the winter,
115
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,440
And then we return in September,
and stay all through the winter,
116
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:24,760
And then we return in September,
and stay all through the winter,
117
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,800
which gives us plenty of time to do
all our jobs that we need to do.
118
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,280
which gives us plenty of time to do
all our jobs that we need to do.
119
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,320
When we met them last time, they
were creating a new guest suite,

When we met them last time, they
were creating a new guest suite,
121
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,680
When we met them last time, they
were creating a new guest suite,
122
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,720
and my Angel added some
of her own special spin.
123
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,520
and my Angel added some
of her own special spin.
124
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Bit of copper bling.
125
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,520
I like it.
126
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,560
This is actually coming on
quite lovely.
127
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:40,720
This is actually coming on
quite lovely.
128
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,120
It's March, and Angela and Steve
129
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,480
It's March, and Angela and Steve
130
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,520
have a seemingly endless cycle
of renovations to do
131
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,600
have a seemingly endless cycle
of renovations to do
132
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,640
before the first paying guests
arrive in two months' time.
133
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680
before the first paying guests
arrive in two months' time.
134
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,720
We've always got some
projects on the go.
135
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:54,040
We've always got some
projects on the go.
136
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,080
We want to make a proper parking
area for our guests,
137
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,960
We want to make a proper parking
area for our guests,
138
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,000
we've got a leak in the
swimming pool we need to fix.
139
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,320
we've got a leak in the
swimming pool we need to fix.
140
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360
We're also thinking of doing a new
en-suite into one of the bedrooms.
141
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,320
We're also thinking of doing a new
en-suite into one of the bedrooms.
142
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,360
Before that, they're giving
the ceiling of the new guest suite
143
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,200
Before that, they're giving
the ceiling of the new guest suite
144
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,240
added grandeur with a reproduction
period plaster rose they bought
145
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,280
added grandeur with a reproduction
period plaster rose they bought
146
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,240
added grandeur with a reproduction
period plaster rose they bought
147
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280
for almost £300 and had to
transport all the way from Scotland.
148
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,320
for almost £300 and had to
transport all the way from Scotland.
149
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,280
for almost £300 and had to
transport all the way from Scotland.
150
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Steve just looked at me and said,
151
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,920
"What on Earth have
you bought, here?"
152
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,240
"What on Earth have
you bought, here?"
153
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,280
Well, I thought they might
come in one piece, but actually,
154
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:22,840
Well, I thought they might
come in one piece, but actually,
155
00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:24,880
they come in about 15 pieces.
156
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:25,680
they come in about 15 pieces.
157
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,720
The chances of us getting that up
on the ceiling is going to be
158
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,520
The chances of us getting that up
on the ceiling is going to be
159
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,560
pretty slim.
Yeah, interesting.
160
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:30,880
pretty slim.
Yeah, interesting.
161
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,920
It will look amazing if we can get
it up there without breaking it.
162
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,320
It will look amazing if we can get
it up there without breaking it.
163
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,360
Steve has a background
in engineering.
164
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,120
Steve has a background
in engineering.
165
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,160
As a former military
engineer myself,

As a former military
engineer myself,
167
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,640
I reckon that's going to
come in super handy.
168
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:42,440
I reckon that's going to
come in super handy.
169
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,960
Right.
170
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,120
Now the scary bit.
171
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,360
To move the fragile centrepiece,
172
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:50,080
To move the fragile centrepiece,
173
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Steve's fashioned a DIY solution
out of board and clamps.
174
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,160
Steve's fashioned a DIY solution
out of board and clamps.
175
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,000
Steve's fashioned a DIY solution
out of board and clamps.
176
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,040
When we bought this,
we actually said to the company,
177
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,520
When we bought this,
we actually said to the company,
178
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,560
"Do you have any fitting
instructions?"
179
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,240
"Do you have any fitting
instructions?"
180
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,280
and their answer was,
"It's really a professional's job."
181
00:05:03,280 --> 00:05:04,720
and their answer was,
"It's really a professional's job."
182
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,760
So in the end, we've just come up
with our own plan.
183
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,280
So in the end, we've just come up
with our own plan.
184
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,000
I've got more.
185
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Careful.
I've got it.
186
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:13,560
Yeah? OK.
187
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,960
How are we looking?
Come my way slightly.
188
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:18,280
How are we looking?
Come my way slightly.
189
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:19,800
That's it.
Are you over? Yeah.
190
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,440
No breakages so far, Steve.
191
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:23,600
No breakages so far, Steve.
192
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,200
So far, so good.
193
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,440
Voila!
194
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,480
Yeah, I can't hear any cracking,
so we're all right.
195
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,920
Yeah, I can't hear any cracking,
so we're all right.
196
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,960
Moving the heavy rose through
a 19th-century chateau
197
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,720
Moving the heavy rose through
a 19th-century chateau
198
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,560
is a feat in itself.
199
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,600
I think I need to put my arm
underneath this weight.
200
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:37,840
I think I need to put my arm
underneath this weight.
201
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,440
No, as long as you...
202
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,280
I can hold it down, like that.
203
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:43,320
You hold it up. Try and lift it
a bit higher, if you can. OK.
204
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,080
You hold it up. Try and lift it
a bit higher, if you can. OK.
205
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,120
Spiral staircases don't help.
206
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,440
Spiral staircases don't help.
207
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,480
Yep, you OK? Yep, I'm fine.
It's not heavy, is it?
208
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Yep, you OK? Yep, I'm fine.
It's not heavy, is it?
209
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,240
No, I'm just worried about it
cracking in the middle.
210
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,080
No, I'm just worried about it
cracking in the middle.
211
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,680
High over the cot.
212
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,040
Oh, cat's wanting to help.
Yep.
213
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,640
Oh, cat's wanting to help.
Yep.
214
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,680
Yes, Molly.
You're being really helpful.
215
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:00,920
Yes, Molly.
You're being really helpful.
216
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,960
OK, we're in. Yep.
217
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,840
OK, we're in. Yep.
218
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:05,880
Bit further.
Oh, a bit further, sorry.
219
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:06,600
Bit further.
Oh, a bit further, sorry.
220
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Were you trying to help, hey?
221
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Were you trying to help, hey?
222
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,680
Molly decides that curiosity
killed the cat.
223
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,280
Molly decides that curiosity
killed the cat.
224
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,320
What we're going to do is make
a little structure here
225
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,800
What we're going to do is make
a little structure here
226
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,840
and we're going to slowly
lift it up. Yep.
227
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:19,160
and we're going to slowly
lift it up. Yep.
228
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200
We'll use our trolley jack,
I think, to lift it.
229
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,920
We'll use our trolley jack,
I think, to lift it.
230
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,960
To raise the delicate plaster
of Paris rose to the ceiling,
231
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,840
To raise the delicate plaster
of Paris rose to the ceiling,
232
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:27,880
they're going to use adjustable
steel posts.
233
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:28,840
they're going to use adjustable
steel posts.
234
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,880
So this is where you need...
I'm going to have to get up higher.
235
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:31,880
So this is where you need...
I'm going to have to get up higher.
236
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,920
OK? OK.
237
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:34,240
OK? OK.
238
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,280
Can you actually lift
and put your pin in?
239
00:06:36,280 --> 00:06:36,880
Can you actually lift
and put your pin in?
240
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,520
I think I'd have to do
one at a time.
241
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,160
Do you want me
to try it on my own, first?
242
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,280
Try it with me.
243
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:42,560
Oh, I can get that in.
244
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,320
Yeah, put that one in there.
245
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:45,800
Lift it up more with me.
246
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,320
I can't get that in, whoa.
247
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,000
There we are, I'm in.
248
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,240
Adapt and overcome is our new motto,
isn't it?
249
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,440
Adapt and overcome is our new motto,
isn't it?
250
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,480
I think that might be
the motto for a while.
251
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,000
I think that might be
the motto for a while.
252
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,040
Now Steve's plan is to jack
the rose up to the ceiling,
253
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Now Steve's plan is to jack
the rose up to the ceiling,
254
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,560
position the screw holes
over the joists,
255
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,040
position the screw holes
over the joists,
256
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,080
and glue and screw the whole
thing into position.
257
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,000
and glue and screw the whole
thing into position.
258
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Easier said than done.
259
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,120
I wonder how the professionals
do it, 'cos I still don't know.
260
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Have you got it, Angela?
Got what?
261
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,160
The actual frame.
262
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,040
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
263
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,960
All secure.
264
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:23,840
Don't tip it like that.
Whoa, whoa.
265
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,880
Don't fall over that thing.
266
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Wait, wait, wait, Steve,
let's see where it is.
267
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:28,760
Wait, wait, wait, Steve,
let's see where it is.
268
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,800
The cat definitely doesn't
look very happy.
269
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,400
The cat definitely doesn't
look very happy.
270
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,560
It's so close.
271
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,440
With the rose at ceiling height,
on goes the glue.
272
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:37,560
With the rose at ceiling height,
on goes the glue.
273
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:41,960
Now we've just got to put
some screws in,
274
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Now we've just got to put
some screws in,
275
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120
just to give it that extra support.
276
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,840
It's up and it's actually
stayed in one piece.
277
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:50,720
It's up and it's actually
stayed in one piece.
278
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,600
So far so good, it looked touch
and go there for a moment.
279
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,400
So far so good, it looked touch
and go there for a moment.
280
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Time for a cup of tea, let's go.
281
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Definitely time for a cup of tea.
Put the kettle on. Yeah.
282
00:07:59,320 --> 00:07:59,680
Definitely time for a cup of tea.
Put the kettle on. Yeah.
283
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Once the glue has set overnight,
284
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,040
Once the glue has set overnight,
285
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
they'll remove the support
from the rose.
286
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,120
After all of that,
I really hope it sticks.
287
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:06,760
After all of that,
I really hope it sticks.
288
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040
425 miles north is the
magnificent Chateau Flore.
289
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,080
425 miles north is the
magnificent Chateau Flore.
290
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:16,760
425 miles north is the
magnificent Chateau Flore.
291
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,280
It has 44 rooms,
292
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,000
It has 44 rooms,
293
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,040
a 27-acre estate with
extensive formal gardens,
294
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
a 27-acre estate with
extensive formal gardens,
295
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,280
a 27-acre estate with
extensive formal gardens,
296
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,320
and a three quarters of an acre
maze.
297
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,000
and a three quarters of an acre
maze.
298
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,640
It's been owned by Alex's family
299
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:32,960
It's been owned by Alex's family
300
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000
since it was built
in the 18th century.
301
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:35,280
since it was built
in the 18th century.
302
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,320
It's now also home to British-born
wife Ithaca, an events organiser.
303
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,360
It's now also home to British-born
wife Ithaca, an events organiser.
304
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:40,800
It's now also home to British-born
wife Ithaca, an events organiser.
305
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,600
We would never sell it.
306
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,640
Some people ask, "Is it for sale?
What is the price?"
307
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,440
Some people ask, "Is it for sale?
What is the price?"
308
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,480
You say, "Actually,
it's never been priced."
309
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,280
You say, "Actually,
it's never been priced."
310
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,320
Alex, who runs an insurance
business, and Ithaca, pour
311
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:53,960
Alex, who runs an insurance
business, and Ithaca, pour
312
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,000
the money they earn into the upkeep,
so they can pass on the chateau
313
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,040
the money they earn into the upkeep,
so they can pass on the chateau
314
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:58,360
the money they earn into the upkeep,
so they can pass on the chateau
315
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,400
to the next generation, daughter
Violet, 14, and son Jules, 11.
316
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,440
to the next generation, daughter
Violet, 14, and son Jules, 11.
317
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,240
to the next generation, daughter
Violet, 14, and son Jules, 11.
318
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,000
We really have to do the maximum to
be able to keep it in the family.
319
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,040
We really have to do the maximum to
be able to keep it in the family.
320
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:09,680
We really have to do the maximum to
be able to keep it in the family.
321
00:09:09,680 --> 00:09:11,640
And that's really important.
322
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,160
Located 40 miles from Calais,
this home's running costs are huge.
323
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,200
Located 40 miles from Calais,
this home's running costs are huge.
324
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Located 40 miles from Calais,
this home's running costs are huge.
325
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,400
This place is like an old relative
that you really cherish
326
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,200
This place is like an old relative
that you really cherish
327
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,240
and so you're just taking care
of her and paying for her bills,
328
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,280
and so you're just taking care
of her and paying for her bills,
329
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,320
paying for her wig,
sort of lipstick here and there.
330
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,200
paying for her wig,
sort of lipstick here and there.
331
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,240
To say, I'm doing something
and this is going to have an impact
332
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,920
To say, I'm doing something
and this is going to have an impact
333
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,960
and this will help
the next generation.
334
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,960
and this will help
the next generation.
335
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,160
And even with their jobs,
336
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,200
they struggle to stay on top
of the upkeep.
337
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:43,600
they struggle to stay on top
of the upkeep.
338
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,640
Their latest worry
is the 800 square metre roof
339
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:46,680
Their latest worry
is the 800 square metre roof
340
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,720
of rare and expensive tiles.
341
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:49,880
of rare and expensive tiles.
342
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,920
So, I want to show you this one
because it's really worrying me.
343
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,280
So, I want to show you this one
because it's really worrying me.
344
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,760
I stuffed some plastic.
345
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,800
See, all this here is completely
soaked through.
346
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,880
See, all this here is completely
soaked through.
347
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,920
Oh, yeah, oh, my God.
348
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:00,280
Oh, yeah, oh, my God.
349
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,280
There's water everywhere.
350
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,320
There's some fungus coming already.
351
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:04,720
There's some fungus coming already.
352
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,520
It's now very wet, you see.
353
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,000
It's now very wet, you see.
354
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,040
And under that, it's all rotten.
355
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:11,680
And under that, it's all rotten.
356
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,720
It's not the only hole, actually,
there are many others.
357
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,760
It's not the only hole, actually,
there are many others.
358
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,800
Ithaca and Alex plan to raise money
with a big annual antiques
359
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,840
Ithaca and Alex plan to raise money
with a big annual antiques
360
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Ithaca and Alex plan to raise money
with a big annual antiques
361
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,200
and flower fair in
three months' time,
362
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:22,560
and flower fair in
three months' time,
363
00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,600
but that will only cover
a fraction of the costs.
364
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:25,200
but that will only cover
a fraction of the costs.
365
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,240
The roof is going to cost the price
of a very nice house, 400K.
366
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,000
The roof is going to cost the price
of a very nice house, 400K.
367
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,040
We can't afford it.
368
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:31,280
We can't afford it.
369
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,120
So, we just can't do it.
370
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,160
They've applied for
a historic building grant
371
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,080
They've applied for
a historic building grant
372
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,760
to help fund the repair.
373
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,800
If it doesn't come through,
the 18th-century chateau could be
374
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,840
If it doesn't come through,
the 18th-century chateau could be
375
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,160
If it doesn't come through,
the 18th-century chateau could be
376
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,200
exposed to further damage
from the elements.
377
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:44,520
exposed to further damage
from the elements.
378
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,560
We're just hoping that we're going
to get the OK within,
379
00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:48,080
We're just hoping that we're going
to get the OK within,
380
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,120
you know, a month,
and just get going.
381
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,360
you know, a month,
and just get going.
382
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,000
It's really, really urgent.
383
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,920
The roof is falling apart.
384
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360
And outside, there's more
very obvious repairs needed.
385
00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,400
And outside, there's more
very obvious repairs needed.
386
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,040
And outside, there's more
very obvious repairs needed.
387
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,080
This is a perfect example
of why the roof needs
388
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,040
This is a perfect example
of why the roof needs
389
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,080
to be done as soon as possible.
390
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Cracks, there are cracks
coming on the facade, here.
391
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,160
Cracks, there are cracks
coming on the facade, here.
392
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:09,640
Cracks, there are cracks
coming on the facade, here.
393
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,680
Another big crack coming,
which is even more worrying,
394
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:13,240
Another big crack coming,
which is even more worrying,
395
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,960
because now it's very obvious.
396
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,200
You can put your fingers
in the crack.
397
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,360
You can put your fingers
in the crack.
398
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,400
Now we can see some other
cracks coming.
399
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Now we can see some other
cracks coming.
400
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,680
Slowly, but surely, they're here.
401
00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:23,840
Slowly, but surely, they're here.
402
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,960
With part of the family home
literally cracking up,
403
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,200
With part of the family home
literally cracking up,
404
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,160
funds are needed very soon.
405
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Coming up...
406
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,640
Out with the old...
407
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:38,680
I wonder how many years of dust
is behind there.
408
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:39,520
I wonder how many years of dust
is behind there.
409
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,120
..and in with the new...
410
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,160
Microwave, kettle, toaster,
deep fat fryer.
411
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:43,720
Microwave, kettle, toaster,
deep fat fryer.
412
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,840
That would be smashing, Paul.
413
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,880
..as new chateau owners
pull out all the stops
414
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:48,360
..as new chateau owners
pull out all the stops
415
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,080
to make Mum and Dad feel at home.
416
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,120
To new kitchens!
To new kitchens and apartments!
417
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,160
To new kitchens!
To new kitchens and apartments!

To new kitchens!
To new kitchens and apartments!
419
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,040
And Steve and Angela...
420
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,440
No!
421
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,480
That one there is going to fall, I'm
telling you now, it's going to fall.
422
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,520
That one there is going to fall, I'm
telling you now, it's going to fall.
423
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:01,840
That one there is going to fall, I'm
telling you now, it's going to fall.
424
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,880
..could come unstuck
over the ceiling rose.
425
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,760
..could come unstuck
over the ceiling rose.
426
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,800
Oh, gosh, why on Earth
did I choose one like this?
427
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Oh, gosh, why on Earth
did I choose one like this?
428
00:12:16,023 --> 00:12:18,063
Set in the glorious landscapes
of western France
429
00:12:18,063 --> 00:12:18,303
Set in the glorious landscapes
of western France
430

home to Brits Donna and Paul,

who moved in less than
three months ago.
434
00:12:26,863 --> 00:12:28,903
The dream behind the chateau
is to be our own bosses

The dream behind the chateau
is to be our own bosses
436
00:12:30,503 --> 00:12:32,543
and to restore the chateau
to its former glory.
437

and to restore the chateau

and to restore the chateau
to its former glory.
439
00:12:35,063 --> 00:12:37,063
There's a certain romantic element
440
00:12:37,063 --> 00:12:39,103
and a fairy tale aspect of
chateau ownership.
441
00:12:39,103 --> 00:12:39,343
and a fairy tale aspect of
chateau ownership.
442
00:12:39,343 --> 00:12:41,383
We just want to make it successful

00:12:41,383 --> 00:12:41,703
We just want to make it successful
444
00:12:41,703 --> 00:12:43,743
and be working for ourselves
in an environment that we love.
445
00:12:43,743 --> 00:12:44,743
and be working for ourselves
in an environment that we love.
446

The early 17th-century chateau is

The early 17th-century chateau is

up by the couple for £279,000,

453
00:12:54,783 --> 00:12:56,823
albeit in a very neglected state.
454
00:12:56,823 --> 00:12:57,583
albeit in a very neglected state.
455
00:12:59,703 --> 00:13:01,263
Yeah, that needs work.
456
00:13:01,263 --> 00:13:02,743
Yeah, this is pretty bad.
457
00:13:05,583 --> 00:13:07,623
They want to run it as a
B&B and events venue,
458
00:13:07,623 --> 00:13:08,463
They want to run it as a
B&B and events venue,
459
00:13:08,463 --> 00:13:10,503
so they've created a new catering
kitchen at the hub of the chateau.
460
00:13:10,503 --> 00:13:12,263
so they've created a new catering
kitchen at the hub of the chateau.
461
00:13:12,263 --> 00:13:14,303
I'm very excited to start baking.
462
00:13:14,303 --> 00:13:14,583
I'm very excited to start baking.
463
00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:15,783
I don't want to renovate,
464
00:13:15,783 --> 00:13:17,103
I want to cook.
465
00:13:21,623 --> 00:13:23,663
They've also been joined by
Donna's parents, Anne and Brian,

who've been living in makeshift
accommodation for 11 weeks.
469
00:13:27,623 --> 00:13:29,663
At first, it was really hard.
470
00:13:29,663 --> 00:13:30,183
At first, it was really hard.
471
00:13:30,183 --> 00:13:32,223
We felt, "Did we do the right thing,
you know?" Yes, it was hard work.
472
00:13:32,223 --> 00:13:33,623
We felt, "Did we do the right thing,
you know?" Yes, it was hard work.
473
00:13:33,623 --> 00:13:35,663
Everything was so cold,
and we thought, you know,
474
00:13:35,663 --> 00:13:36,543
Everything was so cold,
and we thought, you know,
475
00:13:36,543 --> 00:13:38,343
"Gosh, what have we done?"
476
00:13:39,463 --> 00:13:41,503
So now, with Anne and
Brian struggling to cope,

Donna and Paul are putting
some renovations on hold,

Donna and Paul are putting
some renovations on hold,
480

to turn a wing of the chateau into
a cosy, self-contained apartment.
481
00:13:48,143 --> 00:13:49,783
to turn a wing of the chateau into
a cosy, self-contained apartment.
482
00:13:51,263 --> 00:13:53,303
That's going to sit out
that far, yeah?
483
00:13:53,303 --> 00:13:53,743
That's going to sit out
that far, yeah?
484
00:13:53,743 --> 00:13:55,623
That would be fine, yeah.
485
00:13:55,623 --> 00:13:57,663
You might even get
the microwave sat on there.
486
00:13:57,663 --> 00:13:58,063
You might even get
the microwave sat on there.
487
00:13:58,063 --> 00:14:00,103
Well, I was planning my
microwave over there.
488
00:14:00,103 --> 00:14:00,263
Well, I was planning my
microwave over there.
489
00:14:01,623 --> 00:14:02,743
Over here's fine.
490
00:14:02,743 --> 00:14:04,783
See? My mum's all organised,
she knows where everything's going.
491
00:14:04,783 --> 00:14:06,383
See? My mum's all organised,
she knows where everything's going.
492
00:14:06,383 --> 00:14:08,423
What else I've got?
My hotplate, my...?
493
00:14:08,423 --> 00:14:08,743
What else I've got?
My hotplate, my...?
494
00:14:08,743 --> 00:14:10,423
Micro, kettle, toaster.
495
00:14:10,423 --> 00:14:12,463
Yeah. Deep fat fryer.

Yeah. Deep fat fryer.
497
00:14:12,943 --> 00:14:14,983
Yeah. That would be smashing, Paul.
498
00:14:14,983 --> 00:14:15,983
Yeah. That would be smashing, Paul.
499
00:14:15,983 --> 00:14:18,023
They're hoping the new
accommodation will help quell
500
00:14:18,023 --> 00:14:18,703
They're hoping the new
accommodation will help quell
501
00:14:18,703 --> 00:14:20,743
Mum and Dad's homesickness.
502
00:14:20,743 --> 00:14:20,983
Mum and Dad's homesickness.
503
00:14:20,983 --> 00:14:22,743
It's what's kept us going, isn't it?
504
00:14:22,743 --> 00:14:24,783
Knowing that we're going to
get our own apartment.
505
00:14:24,783 --> 00:14:25,023
Knowing that we're going to
get our own apartment.
506
00:14:25,023 --> 00:14:26,543
Yeah, it's took a long time, though.
507
00:14:26,543 --> 00:14:28,583
I think you can see from
my parents' faces how
508
00:14:28,583 --> 00:14:30,303
I think you can see from
my parents' faces how
509
00:14:30,303 --> 00:14:32,343
they are really looking forward to
it being their little home.
510
00:14:32,343 --> 00:14:34,383
they are really looking forward to
it being their little home.
511
00:14:34,383 --> 00:14:34,703
they are really looking forward to
it being their little home.
512
00:14:34,703 --> 00:14:36,743
And I think it's going to
be a really nice, warm,
513
00:14:36,743 --> 00:14:37,063
And I think it's going to
be a really nice, warm,
514
00:14:37,063 --> 00:14:39,103
cosy space for them.
515
00:14:39,103 --> 00:14:39,583
cosy space for them.
516
00:14:39,583 --> 00:14:41,623
It'll be nice to just
disappear every now and then
517
00:14:41,623 --> 00:14:42,583
It'll be nice to just
disappear every now and then
518
00:14:42,583 --> 00:14:43,743
and have our own place.
519
00:14:43,743 --> 00:14:45,783
And they'll be glad to see the back
of us, for a little bit, I think.
520
00:14:45,783 --> 00:14:46,983
And they'll be glad to see the back
of us, for a little bit, I think.
521
00:14:46,983 --> 00:14:48,343
Yeah. Yeah.
522
00:14:51,783 --> 00:14:53,823
Money's tight, so Donna and Paul
are stripping
523
00:14:53,823 --> 00:14:54,903
Money's tight, so Donna and Paul
are stripping
524
00:14:54,903 --> 00:14:56,943
units from the old kitchen to re-use
them for Anne and Brian's new pad.
525
00:14:56,943 --> 00:14:58,983
units from the old kitchen to re-use
them for Anne and Brian's new pad.
526
00:14:58,983 --> 00:14:59,623
units from the old kitchen to re-use
them for Anne and Brian's new pad.
527
00:14:59,623 --> 00:15:01,663
God knows what they kept in there.
528
00:15:01,663 --> 00:15:02,183
God knows what they kept in there.
529
00:15:02,183 --> 00:15:04,103
That's not very nice.
530
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:06,143
I wonder how many years of
dust is behind there.
531
00:15:06,143 --> 00:15:07,103
I wonder how many years of
dust is behind there.
532
00:15:08,743 --> 00:15:10,783
First, they need lots
of elbow grease.
533
00:15:10,783 --> 00:15:11,183
First, they need lots
of elbow grease.
534
00:15:14,703 --> 00:15:16,743
Oh, there's actually a white bit
underneath all this.
535
00:15:16,743 --> 00:15:17,463
Oh, there's actually a white bit
underneath all this.
536
00:15:21,423 --> 00:15:23,463
I thought they would be really
greasy and mucky, but that's not...
537
00:15:23,463 --> 00:15:25,503
I thought they would be really
greasy and mucky, but that's not...
538
00:15:25,503 --> 00:15:26,263
I thought they would be really
greasy and mucky, but that's not...
539
00:15:26,263 --> 00:15:28,263
Bit of undercoat on and a bit
of paint, should look smashing.
540
00:15:28,263 --> 00:15:29,783
Bit of undercoat on and a bit
of paint, should look smashing.
541
00:15:31,543 --> 00:15:33,583
There are still floors to finish,
a kitchen to fit,
542
00:15:33,583 --> 00:15:34,903
There are still floors to finish,
a kitchen to fit,
543
00:15:34,903 --> 00:15:36,943
and lots of decorating to do until
Mum and Dad have their own place.
544
00:15:36,943 --> 00:15:38,983
and lots of decorating to do until
Mum and Dad have their own place.
545
00:15:38,983 --> 00:15:40,143
and lots of decorating to do until
Mum and Dad have their own place.
546
00:15:40,143 --> 00:15:42,183
But one thing that's better cold
is a glass of rose after a
547
00:15:42,183 --> 00:15:43,903
But one thing that's better cold
is a glass of rose after a
548
00:15:43,903 --> 00:15:45,783
hard day's work.
549
00:15:45,783 --> 00:15:47,823
Remember the last time we did this?
When we moved in?
550
00:15:47,823 --> 00:15:48,423
Remember the last time we did this?
When we moved in?
551
00:15:48,423 --> 00:15:50,463
Yes, but it was warmer, wasn't it?
552
00:15:50,463 --> 00:15:51,063
Yes, but it was warmer, wasn't it?
553
00:15:51,063 --> 00:15:53,103
It was warmer, and we had champagne,
so things have gone downhill.
554
00:15:53,103 --> 00:15:54,263
It was warmer, and we had champagne,
so things have gone downhill.
555
00:15:57,263 --> 00:15:58,623
To better things, anyway.
556
00:15:58,623 --> 00:16:00,663
To having less work to do
today than we did last time
557
00:16:00,663 --> 00:16:01,263
To having less work to do
today than we did last time
558
00:16:01,263 --> 00:16:02,943
we toasted on the terrace.
559
00:16:02,943 --> 00:16:04,023
To new kitchens.
560
00:16:13,223 --> 00:16:15,263
Nearly 150 miles south, it's time
for Steve and Angela to find
561
00:16:15,263 --> 00:16:17,303
Nearly 150 miles south, it's time
for Steve and Angela to find
562
00:16:17,303 --> 00:16:18,063
Nearly 150 miles south, it's time
for Steve and Angela to find
563
00:16:18,063 --> 00:16:20,103
out if their DIY fix of the ceiling
rose has held up overnight.
564
00:16:20,103 --> 00:16:21,463
out if their DIY fix of the ceiling
rose has held up overnight.
565
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:26,223
Well, that's a good sign,
it's still up. It's still up.
566
00:16:26,223 --> 00:16:26,463
Well, that's a good sign,
it's still up. It's still up.
567
00:16:26,463 --> 00:16:27,703
LAUGHTER
568
00:16:27,703 --> 00:16:28,983
Is it going to stay...?
569
00:16:28,983 --> 00:16:31,023
It looks like it's stuck
up there, Steven.
570
00:16:31,023 --> 00:16:31,463
It looks like it's stuck
up there, Steven.
571
00:16:31,463 --> 00:16:33,503
Let's release these all
the way down.
572
00:16:33,503 --> 00:16:33,743
Let's release these all
the way down.
573
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:34,783
Let it come down together.
574
00:16:34,783 --> 00:16:36,783
That looks OK.
575
00:16:36,783 --> 00:16:38,823
Wee. That's it.
576
00:16:38,823 --> 00:16:39,183
Wee. That's it.
577
00:16:39,183 --> 00:16:41,223
Hey. It's up.
578
00:16:41,223 --> 00:16:42,783
Hey. It's up.
579
00:16:42,783 --> 00:16:44,543
It's really lovely.
580
00:16:44,543 --> 00:16:46,583
So far, so good,
but every rose has its thorn.
581
00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:48,423
So far, so good,
but every rose has its thorn.
582
00:16:48,423 --> 00:16:50,463
There are eight more delicate
decorations that need
583
00:16:50,463 --> 00:16:51,943
There are eight more delicate
decorations that need
584
00:16:51,943 --> 00:16:53,983
carefully glueing over
the screw holes.
585
00:16:53,983 --> 00:16:54,303
carefully glueing over
the screw holes.
586
00:16:54,303 --> 00:16:56,343
It's really important that
this bit will stick on.
587
00:16:56,343 --> 00:16:56,903
It's really important that
this bit will stick on.
588
00:16:56,903 --> 00:16:58,943
With the help of his
makeshift lifting contraption,
589
00:16:58,943 --> 00:17:00,423
With the help of his
makeshift lifting contraption,
590
00:17:00,423 --> 00:17:02,463
Steve tries to put all the pieces
in place, ready for glueing.
591
00:17:02,463 --> 00:17:03,583
Steve tries to put all the pieces
in place, ready for glueing.
592
00:17:03,583 --> 00:17:05,623
A bit more, a bit more, that's it.
593
00:17:05,623 --> 00:17:06,183
A bit more, a bit more, that's it.
594
00:17:06,183 --> 00:17:07,663
Any time today would be good.
595
00:17:07,663 --> 00:17:08,823
Yeah, well...
596
00:17:08,823 --> 00:17:10,863
As the rose came from Scotland,
if they break any of the plaster
597
00:17:10,863 --> 00:17:12,903
As the rose came from Scotland,
if they break any of the plaster
598
00:17:12,903 --> 00:17:14,943
pieces, they're going to be very
difficult to replace.
599
00:17:14,943 --> 00:17:16,583
pieces, they're going to be very
difficult to replace.
600
00:17:16,583 --> 00:17:18,423
You ready? Right, just a sec.
601
00:17:20,103 --> 00:17:22,143
Steve, that one's falling out,
quickly, there. That one.
602
00:17:22,143 --> 00:17:22,583
Steve, that one's falling out,
quickly, there. That one.
603
00:17:23,783 --> 00:17:24,743
Oh! Ah!
604
00:17:27,663 --> 00:17:29,703
No! It's all right.
605
00:17:29,703 --> 00:17:30,023
No! It's all right.
606
00:17:30,023 --> 00:17:32,063
Can you go up a bit more, Angela?
On that right-hand.
607
00:17:32,063 --> 00:17:32,663
Can you go up a bit more, Angela?
On that right-hand.
608
00:17:32,663 --> 00:17:34,703
No, the other one. That one.
609
00:17:34,703 --> 00:17:35,103
No, the other one. That one.
610
00:17:35,103 --> 00:17:37,143
I'm not happy. That one there
is going to fall.
611
00:17:37,143 --> 00:17:37,703
I'm not happy. That one there
is going to fall.
612
00:17:37,703 --> 00:17:39,743
I'm telling you now,
it's going to fall.
613
00:17:39,743 --> 00:17:40,063
I'm telling you now,
it's going to fall.
614
00:17:40,063 --> 00:17:42,103
But every time you put your hand
in, Steve... Whoa! Steven!
615
00:17:42,103 --> 00:17:43,103
But every time you put your hand
in, Steve... Whoa! Steven!
616
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:45,143
Every time you put your hand in,
it moves another one out of place.
617
00:17:45,143 --> 00:17:47,183
Every time you put your hand in,
it moves another one out of place.
618
00:17:47,183 --> 00:17:48,983
Every time you put your hand in,
it moves another one out of place.
619
00:17:48,983 --> 00:17:51,023
It looks absolutely spot-on.
620
00:17:51,023 --> 00:17:51,703
It looks absolutely spot-on.
621
00:17:51,703 --> 00:17:53,743
Time to add some glue.
622
00:17:53,743 --> 00:17:55,783
It's just that flat bit
that touches.
623
00:17:55,783 --> 00:17:56,103
It's just that flat bit
that touches.
624
00:17:56,103 --> 00:17:58,143
Oh, gosh, why on earth did
I choose one like this?
625
00:17:58,143 --> 00:18:00,183
Oh, gosh, why on earth did
I choose one like this?
626
00:18:00,183 --> 00:18:00,423
Oh, gosh, why on earth did
I choose one like this?
627
00:18:00,423 --> 00:18:01,663
I don't know, Angela.
628
00:18:01,663 --> 00:18:03,703
Quick, jack it up before
anything moves.
629
00:18:03,703 --> 00:18:04,263
Quick, jack it up before
anything moves.
630
00:18:05,823 --> 00:18:07,863
Is that enough? No more?
631
00:18:07,863 --> 00:18:08,303
Is that enough? No more?
632
00:18:08,303 --> 00:18:09,383
Hello?
633
00:18:09,383 --> 00:18:11,383
Just that little bit more.
634
00:18:11,383 --> 00:18:13,423
But you're putting
pressure on it, now.
635
00:18:13,423 --> 00:18:13,983
But you're putting
pressure on it, now.
636
00:18:13,983 --> 00:18:15,583
It looks like it's...
637
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:17,303
It's sort of in the right place.
638
00:18:17,303 --> 00:18:18,423
OK.
639
00:18:18,423 --> 00:18:20,103
Another nail-biting night ahead.
640
00:18:21,543 --> 00:18:23,583
Hopefully, tomorrow we
could fit the light. Yeah.
641
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:24,063
Hopefully, tomorrow we
could fit the light. Yeah.
642
00:18:24,063 --> 00:18:26,103
And then I can never see another
ceiling rose in my life again.
643
00:18:26,103 --> 00:18:28,143
And then I can never see another
ceiling rose in my life again.
644
00:18:28,143 --> 00:18:28,983
And then I can never see another
ceiling rose in my life again.
645
00:18:28,983 --> 00:18:31,023
I know where you're
coming from, Steve.
646
00:18:31,023 --> 00:18:32,143
I know where you're
coming from, Steve.
647
00:18:36,223 --> 00:18:38,263
420 miles north-east
at Chateau Flore,
648
00:18:38,263 --> 00:18:39,423
420 miles north-east
at Chateau Flore,
649
00:18:39,423 --> 00:18:41,463
there's good news about the grant
that's contributing to roof repairs.
650
00:18:41,463 --> 00:18:42,903
there's good news about the grant
that's contributing to roof repairs.
651
00:18:44,023 --> 00:18:45,343
They're here.
652
00:18:45,343 --> 00:18:47,383
The money's come through and work
on the roof can finally begin.
653
00:18:47,383 --> 00:18:48,383
The money's come through and work
on the roof can finally begin.
654
00:18:50,663 --> 00:18:52,583
First stage is to erect scaffolding.
655
00:18:56,423 --> 00:18:58,463
I am very relieved the scaffoldings
are here. It's been such a
656
00:18:58,463 --> 00:19:00,423
I am very relieved the scaffoldings
are here. It's been such a
657
00:19:00,423 --> 00:19:02,463
long process that now they are
coming, I'm really just getting...
658
00:19:02,463 --> 00:19:03,463
long process that now they are
coming, I'm really just getting...
659
00:19:03,463 --> 00:19:05,503
It's a dream coming to reality.
660
00:19:05,503 --> 00:19:06,263
It's a dream coming to reality.
661
00:19:06,263 --> 00:19:08,303
The bad news is the scaffolding
will stay for the next 14 months.
662
00:19:08,303 --> 00:19:10,343
The bad news is the scaffolding
will stay for the next 14 months.
663
00:19:10,343 --> 00:19:10,823
The bad news is the scaffolding
will stay for the next 14 months.
664
00:19:10,823 --> 00:19:12,863
Not ideal with the summer fair
just two months away.
665
00:19:12,863 --> 00:19:14,183
Not ideal with the summer fair
just two months away.
666
00:19:14,183 --> 00:19:16,223
Having the scaffolding and the roof
done at the same time as our events
667
00:19:16,223 --> 00:19:18,263
Having the scaffolding and the roof
done at the same time as our events
668
00:19:18,263 --> 00:19:20,183
Having the scaffolding and the roof
done at the same time as our events
669
00:19:20,183 --> 00:19:22,223
is not what I would have chosen,
but we just have to deal with it.
670
00:19:22,223 --> 00:19:23,983
is not what I would have chosen,
but we just have to deal with it.
671
00:19:25,503 --> 00:19:26,943
For the summer fair,
672
00:19:26,943 --> 00:19:28,983
Ithaca's come up with a new
scheme for the chateau gardens.
673
00:19:28,983 --> 00:19:30,743
Ithaca's come up with a new
scheme for the chateau gardens.
674
00:19:33,303 --> 00:19:35,343
We had this idea of mixing
three or four different
675
00:19:35,343 --> 00:19:36,583
We had this idea of mixing
three or four different
676
00:19:36,583 --> 00:19:38,623
types of lavender,
quite a formal pattern.
677
00:19:38,623 --> 00:19:39,343
types of lavender,
quite a formal pattern.
678
00:19:41,303 --> 00:19:43,343
To give the path added grandeur,
they're going to plant
679
00:19:43,343 --> 00:19:44,503
To give the path added grandeur,
they're going to plant
680
00:19:44,503 --> 00:19:46,543
it in a geometric French-style
called parterre.
681
00:19:46,543 --> 00:19:48,103
it in a geometric French-style
called parterre.
682
00:19:48,103 --> 00:19:50,143
It has to have that wow effect.
683
00:19:50,143 --> 00:19:51,943
It has to enhance the house.
684
00:19:53,583 --> 00:19:55,623
British-born Ithaca has decided
not to use French lavender,
685
00:19:55,623 --> 00:19:57,143
British-born Ithaca has decided
not to use French lavender,
686
00:19:57,143 --> 00:19:59,183
instead sourcing all
the plants from Kent.
687
00:19:59,183 --> 00:20:00,183
instead sourcing all
the plants from Kent.
688
00:20:00,183 --> 00:20:02,223
I wanted to show the French that
yes, lavender could be grown
689
00:20:02,223 --> 00:20:04,263
I wanted to show the French that
yes, lavender could be grown
690
00:20:04,263 --> 00:20:05,703
I wanted to show the French that
yes, lavender could be grown
691
00:20:05,703 --> 00:20:07,743
north of France and yes, actually,
it comes from the UK.
692
00:20:07,743 --> 00:20:09,783
north of France and yes, actually,
it comes from the UK.
693
00:20:09,783 --> 00:20:11,823
north of France and yes, actually,
it comes from the UK.
694
00:20:11,823 --> 00:20:12,143
north of France and yes, actually,
it comes from the UK.
695
00:20:12,143 --> 00:20:14,183
For them, lavender is just French.
696
00:20:14,183 --> 00:20:15,943
For them, lavender is just French.
697
00:20:15,943 --> 00:20:17,983
It's lavender, it's la Provence.
698
00:20:17,983 --> 00:20:18,143
It's lavender, it's la Provence.
699
00:20:19,303 --> 00:20:20,903
Now for the tricky bit -
700
00:20:20,903 --> 00:20:22,943
transferring the plan
from the drawing to the ground.
701
00:20:22,943 --> 00:20:24,383
transferring the plan
from the drawing to the ground.
702
00:20:25,783 --> 00:20:27,823
I just want to check
if it's consistent.
703
00:20:27,823 --> 00:20:29,183
I just want to check
if it's consistent.
704
00:20:29,183 --> 00:20:31,063
626.
705
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:33,023
OK, that's 630.
706
00:20:33,023 --> 00:20:34,623
Trying to follow this,
707
00:20:34,623 --> 00:20:36,663
but the problem is we've just
discovered that the alley
708
00:20:36,663 --> 00:20:38,303
but the problem is we've just
discovered that the alley
709
00:20:38,303 --> 00:20:40,343
isn't centred and it's not even
the same size everywhere.
710
00:20:40,343 --> 00:20:41,703
isn't centred and it's not even
the same size everywhere.
711
00:20:41,703 --> 00:20:43,743
Meaning, it's just not working.
712
00:20:43,743 --> 00:20:45,143
Meaning, it's just not working.
713
00:20:45,143 --> 00:20:47,183
With the existing path
not being geometric,
714
00:20:47,183 --> 00:20:47,783
With the existing path
not being geometric,
715
00:20:47,783 --> 00:20:49,823
that's going to cause
them a problem.
716
00:20:49,823 --> 00:20:50,063
that's going to cause
them a problem.
717
00:20:50,063 --> 00:20:52,103
OK. Moustique, no.
718
00:20:52,103 --> 00:20:52,343
OK. Moustique, no.
719
00:20:52,343 --> 00:20:53,503
HE LAUGHS
720
00:21:01,743 --> 00:21:03,103
No, you're not holding it.
721
00:21:03,103 --> 00:21:04,703
Can you hold it with your hand?
722
00:21:04,703 --> 00:21:06,743
Thank you. Well, the cat
is tugging at it.
723
00:21:06,743 --> 00:21:07,463
Thank you. Well, the cat
is tugging at it.
724
00:21:09,143 --> 00:21:10,663
Moustique. Get off. Come on.
725
00:21:13,543 --> 00:21:15,583
Spray-marking the flower beds
means they're committing
726
00:21:15,583 --> 00:21:17,383
Spray-marking the flower beds
means they're committing
727
00:21:17,383 --> 00:21:19,343
to their interpretation
of the design.
728
00:21:19,343 --> 00:21:21,263
If you're tired, you tell me.
729
00:21:21,263 --> 00:21:23,303
Honey, honey, stop, stop,
stop, stop. No.
730
00:21:23,303 --> 00:21:24,023
Honey, honey, stop, stop,
stop, stop. No.
731
00:21:24,023 --> 00:21:26,063
Highly technical equipment, operated
under Alex's strict instructions.
732
00:21:26,063 --> 00:21:28,103
Highly technical equipment, operated
under Alex's strict instructions.
733
00:21:28,103 --> 00:21:28,423
Highly technical equipment, operated
under Alex's strict instructions.
734
00:21:28,423 --> 00:21:30,463
From here, you're going
to spray paint everywhere.
735
00:21:30,463 --> 00:21:31,023
From here, you're going
to spray paint everywhere.
736
00:21:31,023 --> 00:21:33,063
You have to be really, like, close.
737
00:21:33,063 --> 00:21:33,743
You have to be really, like, close.
738
00:21:33,743 --> 00:21:34,703
OK.
739
00:21:36,183 --> 00:21:38,223
Precise, precise.
740
00:21:38,223 --> 00:21:38,383
Precise, precise.
741
00:21:40,303 --> 00:21:41,503
OK.
742
00:21:41,503 --> 00:21:43,023
Given the size of the task,
743
00:21:43,023 --> 00:21:45,063
mathematical precision soon
goes out the window.
744
00:21:45,063 --> 00:21:46,543
mathematical precision soon
goes out the window.
745
00:21:46,543 --> 00:21:48,583
Seems a bit,
a bit larger on the left.
746
00:21:48,583 --> 00:21:49,943
Seems a bit,
a bit larger on the left.
747
00:21:49,943 --> 00:21:51,383
Not at all mathematical.
748
00:21:51,383 --> 00:21:52,463
HE LAUGHS
749
00:21:52,463 --> 00:21:54,503
One, two, three, four.
750
00:21:54,503 --> 00:21:56,463
One, two, three, four.
751
00:21:56,463 --> 00:21:57,423
OK.
752
00:21:59,303 --> 00:22:01,343
This one is slightly...
753
00:22:01,343 --> 00:22:01,583
This one is slightly...
754
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:03,623
I'm off 40 cm.
755
00:22:03,623 --> 00:22:03,863
I'm off 40 cm.
756
00:22:03,863 --> 00:22:05,103
Huh.
757
00:22:05,103 --> 00:22:07,143
Alex, it doesn't really matter.
40 cm.
758
00:22:07,143 --> 00:22:07,543
Alex, it doesn't really matter.
40 cm.
759
00:22:09,423 --> 00:22:11,223
It does not.
760
00:22:11,223 --> 00:22:12,183
Let's go.
761
00:22:13,463 --> 00:22:15,183
It's a bit of a nightmare, actually.
762
00:22:15,183 --> 00:22:17,223
It's not a nightmare, it's fun.
763
00:22:17,223 --> 00:22:17,383
It's not a nightmare, it's fun.
764
00:22:18,543 --> 00:22:20,583
Nightmare or not, they've got
their work cut out to have this job
765
00:22:20,583 --> 00:22:21,423
Nightmare or not, they've got
their work cut out to have this job
766
00:22:21,423 --> 00:22:23,463
done in time for the fair in
just two months' time.
767
00:22:23,463 --> 00:22:23,983
done in time for the fair in
just two months' time.
768
00:22:26,103 --> 00:22:27,663
Coming up...
769
00:22:27,663 --> 00:22:29,703
Mum and Dad's apartment is proving
tricky to deliver for Donna
770
00:22:29,703 --> 00:22:30,983
Mum and Dad's apartment is proving
tricky to deliver for Donna
771
00:22:30,983 --> 00:22:32,143
and Paul.
772
00:22:32,143 --> 00:22:33,583
You all right, you got it? Yep.
773
00:22:35,023 --> 00:22:37,063
It's all go here,
as usual, isn't it?
774
00:22:37,063 --> 00:22:38,103
It's all go here,
as usual, isn't it?
775
00:22:38,103 --> 00:22:40,143
Fitting the ceiling rose sees
Angela trying to reach new heights.
776
00:22:40,143 --> 00:22:41,943
Fitting the ceiling rose sees
Angela trying to reach new heights.
777
00:22:41,943 --> 00:22:43,983
It's actually quite exciting.
778
00:22:43,983 --> 00:22:44,303
It's actually quite exciting.
779
00:22:44,303 --> 00:22:46,343
I can see my plan that I've been
thinking about for months
780
00:22:46,343 --> 00:22:47,583
I can see my plan that I've been
thinking about for months
781
00:22:47,583 --> 00:22:48,543
coming together.
782
00:22:50,503 --> 00:22:52,543
And my family go hopping mad.
783
00:22:52,543 --> 00:22:53,183
And my family go hopping mad.
784
00:22:53,183 --> 00:22:54,863
I got one.
785
00:22:54,863 --> 00:22:56,063
I found one.
786
00:22:56,063 --> 00:22:57,503
Mummy, see if you can find one.
787
00:23:06,128 --> 00:23:07,688
In western France, Donna
and Paul have now fitted
788
00:23:07,688 --> 00:23:09,728
and painted all the kitchen units
in the apartment they've been
789
00:23:09,728 --> 00:23:10,848
and painted all the kitchen units
in the apartment they've been
790
00:23:10,848 --> 00:23:12,888
creating for Donna's parents.
791
00:23:12,888 --> 00:23:13,208
creating for Donna's parents.
792
00:23:13,208 --> 00:23:15,248
Today, they're expecting
a very British delivery.
793
00:23:15,248 --> 00:23:16,688
Today, they're expecting
a very British delivery.
794
00:23:16,688 --> 00:23:18,488
Important question -
tea or coffee?
795
00:23:18,488 --> 00:23:20,528
Ooh, coffee, two sugars, please.
Same. Coffee, two sugars.
796
00:23:20,528 --> 00:23:22,168
Ooh, coffee, two sugars, please.
Same. Coffee, two sugars.
797
00:23:22,168 --> 00:23:24,048
Trading standards, that is.
798
00:23:24,048 --> 00:23:26,088
Minimum requirements, yeah?
799
00:23:26,088 --> 00:23:26,288
Minimum requirements, yeah?
800
00:23:27,568 --> 00:23:29,608
Anne and Brian would like
wall-to-wall fitted carpet.
801
00:23:29,608 --> 00:23:31,288
Anne and Brian would like
wall-to-wall fitted carpet.
802
00:23:32,288 --> 00:23:34,328
Not something you see
a lot of in chateaux,
803
00:23:34,328 --> 00:23:35,088
Not something you see
a lot of in chateaux,
804
00:23:35,088 --> 00:23:37,128
as rugs over hard floors are
considered easier to keep clean.
805
00:23:37,128 --> 00:23:39,168
as rugs over hard floors are
considered easier to keep clean.
806
00:23:39,168 --> 00:23:39,768
as rugs over hard floors are
considered easier to keep clean.
807
00:23:39,768 --> 00:23:41,808
The carpet's made it to the chateau.
808
00:23:41,808 --> 00:23:42,408
The carpet's made it to the chateau.
809
00:23:42,408 --> 00:23:44,448
Hopefully, it will get through
the window.
810
00:23:44,448 --> 00:23:45,248
Hopefully, it will get through
the window.
811
00:23:45,248 --> 00:23:47,288
It's the wrong colour.
That's what you've got, now.
812
00:23:47,288 --> 00:23:47,688
It's the wrong colour.
That's what you've got, now.
813
00:23:48,888 --> 00:23:49,848
It's off the van.
814
00:23:55,888 --> 00:23:57,128
Got it? Yeah.
815
00:24:00,408 --> 00:24:02,448
The cost of the carpet
also covers fitting.
816
00:24:02,448 --> 00:24:02,888
The cost of the carpet
also covers fitting.
817
00:24:02,888 --> 00:24:04,768
But there's a problem.
818
00:24:04,768 --> 00:24:06,808
We knew the carpet was being
delivered today,
819
00:24:06,808 --> 00:24:07,488
We knew the carpet was being
delivered today,
820
00:24:07,488 --> 00:24:09,528
but we've also got an opportunity
to get it installed.
821
00:24:09,528 --> 00:24:10,648
but we've also got an opportunity
to get it installed.
822
00:24:10,648 --> 00:24:12,688
But frankly,
we're not ready for that.
823
00:24:12,688 --> 00:24:13,048
But frankly,
we're not ready for that.
824
00:24:13,048 --> 00:24:15,088
The floor still needs
to be levelled.
825
00:24:15,088 --> 00:24:16,368
The floor still needs
to be levelled.
826
00:24:16,368 --> 00:24:18,408
So that's just the transition, here,
827
00:24:18,408 --> 00:24:18,728
So that's just the transition, here,
828
00:24:18,728 --> 00:24:20,768
it obviously goes up to the tiles
and cuts into here.
829
00:24:20,768 --> 00:24:22,808
This bit here,
we haven't finished screeing that.
830
00:24:22,808 --> 00:24:23,128
This bit here,
we haven't finished screeing that.
831
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:25,168
So we'll be going over that bridge,
there? Yes.
832
00:24:25,168 --> 00:24:26,128
So we'll be going over that bridge,
there? Yes.
833
00:24:26,128 --> 00:24:28,168
So they've come up with a solution.
834
00:24:28,168 --> 00:24:28,488
So they've come up with a solution.
835
00:24:28,488 --> 00:24:30,528
Well, if you cut it, so it's...
We could fit it.
836
00:24:30,528 --> 00:24:31,008
Well, if you cut it, so it's...
We could fit it.
837
00:24:31,008 --> 00:24:33,048
That's fine.
Fit it up to here?
838
00:24:33,048 --> 00:24:33,368
That's fine.
Fit it up to here?
839
00:24:33,368 --> 00:24:35,328
And we'll just pull it back.
We'll leave you a can of spray.
840
00:24:35,328 --> 00:24:36,968
That's fine.
841
00:24:36,968 --> 00:24:38,688
Once that's gone off,
just spray around the edges,
842
00:24:38,688 --> 00:24:40,728
spray the back of the carpet.
Yep.
843
00:24:40,728 --> 00:24:40,968
spray the back of the carpet.
Yep.
844
00:24:40,968 --> 00:24:42,928
Good. Brilliant.
845
00:24:42,928 --> 00:24:44,968
The fitters will lay as much
of the carpet as possible.
846
00:24:44,968 --> 00:24:46,088
The fitters will lay as much
of the carpet as possible.
847
00:24:46,088 --> 00:24:48,128
It's all go here,
as usual, isn't it?
848
00:24:48,128 --> 00:24:48,448
It's all go here,
as usual, isn't it?
849
00:24:48,448 --> 00:24:50,488
Leaving some sections
unglued, so Donna and Paul
850
00:24:50,488 --> 00:24:51,168
Leaving some sections
unglued, so Donna and Paul
851
00:24:51,168 --> 00:24:53,208
can finish their levelling work.
852
00:24:53,208 --> 00:24:53,888
can finish their levelling work.
853
00:24:53,888 --> 00:24:55,928
That certainly wouldn't be me,
I'd be, "Ooh!"
854
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:56,928
That certainly wouldn't be me,
I'd be, "Ooh!"
855
00:24:56,928 --> 00:24:58,968
I was having nightmares
over having to do it myself,
856
00:24:58,968 --> 00:25:00,128
I was having nightmares
over having to do it myself,
857
00:25:00,128 --> 00:25:02,168
thinking, "one wrong cut,
and that's it, isn't it?"
858
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:03,808
thinking, "one wrong cut,
and that's it, isn't it?"
859
00:25:05,968 --> 00:25:08,008
I mean, we of course, would have
fitted it as quick as this.
860
00:25:08,008 --> 00:25:09,088
I mean, we of course, would have
fitted it as quick as this.
861
00:25:09,088 --> 00:25:10,848
It would have taken us three days.
862
00:25:10,848 --> 00:25:12,768
Yeah.
863
00:25:12,768 --> 00:25:14,808
It's much nicer watching
other people fit it!
864
00:25:14,808 --> 00:25:15,688
It's much nicer watching
other people fit it!
865
00:25:17,408 --> 00:25:19,448
It's rare for them
to just be watching.
866
00:25:19,448 --> 00:25:19,848
It's rare for them
to just be watching.
867
00:25:22,448 --> 00:25:24,488
I feel like, just seeing this down,
it's given me a boost.
868
00:25:24,488 --> 00:25:26,008
I feel like, just seeing this down,
it's given me a boost.
869
00:25:26,728 --> 00:25:28,688
Just trying to get
the rest finished, now.
870
00:25:28,688 --> 00:25:30,528
We can come and live in this bit.
871
00:25:30,528 --> 00:25:32,648
Oh, your mum and dad are here.
872
00:25:32,648 --> 00:25:34,688
Yeah, it's nicer
than what we've got.
873
00:25:34,688 --> 00:25:35,008
Yeah, it's nicer
than what we've got.
874
00:25:35,008 --> 00:25:36,848
Good luck with everything.
Thanks very much.
875
00:25:36,848 --> 00:25:38,888
Good stuff.
See you.
876
00:25:38,888 --> 00:25:39,128
Good stuff.
See you.
877
00:25:39,128 --> 00:25:40,448
Take care.
878
00:25:40,448 --> 00:25:42,368
Yay, we've got a carpet!
879
00:25:43,088 --> 00:25:44,968
Finally, we've got a carpet.
880
00:25:46,808 --> 00:25:48,848
Next job is making sure Mum and Dad
can shut the door on their own,
881
00:25:48,848 --> 00:25:50,608
Next job is making sure Mum and Dad
can shut the door on their own,
882
00:25:50,608 --> 00:25:51,968
separate home.
883
00:25:53,528 --> 00:25:55,568
Why are the hinges on that side?
884
00:25:55,568 --> 00:25:55,928
Why are the hinges on that side?
885
00:25:55,928 --> 00:25:57,248
'Cos the door opens that way.
886
00:25:57,248 --> 00:25:58,568
It doesn't, it opens against here.
887
00:25:58,568 --> 00:25:59,808
No, it doesn't.
888
00:25:59,808 --> 00:26:01,528
It's a left-opening door.
889
00:26:02,368 --> 00:26:04,408
Paul's bought a door that includes
the frame and hinges.
890
00:26:04,408 --> 00:26:06,088
Paul's bought a door that includes
the frame and hinges.
891
00:26:06,088 --> 00:26:08,128
But that means they can't change
the direction the door opens.
892
00:26:08,128 --> 00:26:10,168
But that means they can't change
the direction the door opens.
893
00:26:10,168 --> 00:26:10,328
But that means they can't change
the direction the door opens.
894
00:26:12,008 --> 00:26:14,048
I just always thought it would have
been better opening against a wall.
895
00:26:14,048 --> 00:26:16,088
I just always thought it would have
been better opening against a wall.
896
00:26:16,088 --> 00:26:16,408
I just always thought it would have
been better opening against a wall.
897
00:26:16,408 --> 00:26:18,288
I know, but you never
communicated that to me.
898
00:26:18,288 --> 00:26:20,088
' Cos we got left-opening doors.
899
00:26:20,088 --> 00:26:22,128
I know I didn't go and check,

I know I didn't go and check,
901
00:26:22,568 --> 00:26:24,608
I just thought we were thinking
on the same thing.

I just thought we were thinking
on the same thing.

Not only did you not check,
you never told me.

Not only did you not check,
you never told me.
905
00:26:27,528 --> 00:26:29,008
Telepathy!
906
00:26:31,848 --> 00:26:33,888
At least it's easier
to put the door up.
907
00:26:33,888 --> 00:26:34,288
At least it's easier
to put the door up.

00:26:35,368 --> 00:26:36,328
Enter!
909
00:26:40,248 --> 00:26:41,528
Can I come in?
910
00:26:44,488 --> 00:26:46,528
It may be almost ready
for Mum and Dad,
911
00:26:46,528 --> 00:26:46,968
It may be almost ready
for Mum and Dad,
912
00:26:46,968 --> 00:26:49,008
but every day spent working
on the apartment is a day

Income-generating rooms.
920
00:27:01,488 --> 00:27:03,528
We need this done, and...
921
00:27:03,528 --> 00:27:05,288
Yeah, the end is in sight.
922
00:27:05,288 --> 00:27:06,688
..and ready.
923
00:27:06,688 --> 00:27:08,208
Ready to move on.
924
00:27:11,928 --> 00:27:13,968
Nearly 300 miles north-east,
Ithaca and Alex have dug the beds.

Now, they need to plant the
480 English lavender bushes

Now, they need to plant the
480 English lavender bushes
929
00:27:20,768 --> 00:27:22,528
to an exact design.
930
00:27:23,648 --> 00:27:24,888
The pressure is on.
931
00:27:24,888 --> 00:27:26,528
And I'm a perfectionist.
932
00:27:27,048 --> 00:27:29,088
For that, Ithaca's roped in
friends, Kate and Pascale.
933
00:27:29,088 --> 00:27:31,128
For that, Ithaca's roped in
friends, Kate and Pascale.

935

Hi, Alex.
Ca va?
936
00:27:33,128 --> 00:27:34,728
OK, guys, well, thanks for coming.
937
00:27:34,728 --> 00:27:36,768
I really appreciate it.

I really appreciate it.
939
00:27:37,008 --> 00:27:38,448
Don't look so worried!

To keep the strict geometric
design of the flowerbeds,

To keep the strict geometric
design of the flowerbeds,
942
00:27:44,128 --> 00:27:46,168
it's important to try to plant
each individual shrub accurately.

it's important to try to plant
each individual shrub accurately.

it's important to try to plant
each individual shrub accurately.
945
00:27:49,368 --> 00:27:51,408
It has to be from centre to

a minimum, OK?

00:27:55,808 --> 00:27:56,608
a minimum, OK?
950
00:27:56,608 --> 00:27:58,648
If one lavender is out of place,
I don't think it's going to be

If one lavender is out of place,
I don't think it's going to be
952
00:28:00,008 --> 00:28:02,048
much of a problem, but
if you're off five or six lavenders,
953
00:28:02,048 --> 00:28:04,088
much of a problem, but
if you're off five or six lavenders,

if you're off five or six lavenders,
955
00:28:05,048 --> 00:28:07,088
then from above,
it's going to look really...
956
00:28:07,088 --> 00:28:08,368
then from above,
it's going to look really...
957
00:28:08,368 --> 00:28:10,248
Well, it won't look precise.
958
00:28:11,328 --> 00:28:13,368
And Ithaca's not afraid of whipping
her team into shape to get

the desired results.

I would say
the border should be there.

Ithaca, she is bossy, but to do that
kind of job, you need to be bossy.

You cannot be too lazy or too soft.
968
00:28:28,128 --> 00:28:30,168

You know what, guys?
971
00:28:34,368 --> 00:28:36,408
It's really nice being with you
and working and you helping us

We're not sure about the weather.

It might rain and if it rains,
it won't be the same story.

Bye!

..Alex soldiers on alone.
988
00:29:05,928 --> 00:29:07,728
I just have to carry on.
989

I like to be in the nature
and I'm very fascinated,
993
00:29:13,088 --> 00:29:15,128

00:29:17,168 --> 00:29:17,608
because even if it rains,
the birds keep on singing.
996
00:29:17,608 --> 00:29:19,528
Exactly.
997
00:29:19,528 --> 00:29:21,568
And we all know, you plant wet
and sow dry.
998
00:29:21,568 --> 00:29:22,328
And we all know, you plant wet
and sow dry.
999
00:29:24,408 --> 00:29:26,448
Alex, you look completely...
1000
00:29:26,448 --> 00:29:26,688
Alex, you look completely...
1001
00:29:26,688 --> 00:29:27,968
Muddy.
1002
00:29:27,968 --> 00:29:29,968
Oh, you just...
1003
00:29:29,968 --> 00:29:32,008
Just muddy.
You look very muddy.
1004
00:29:32,008 --> 00:29:32,528
Just muddy.
You look very muddy.
1005
00:29:32,528 --> 00:29:34,448
Look, even...
1006
00:29:34,448 --> 00:29:36,208
You're muddy everywhere.
1007
00:29:37,888 --> 00:29:39,928
Along with mud, Alex brings news
about a serious miscalculation.
1008
00:29:39,928 --> 00:29:41,968
Along with mud, Alex brings news
about a serious miscalculation.
1009
00:29:41,968 --> 00:29:42,288
Along with mud, Alex brings news
about a serious miscalculation.
1010
00:29:43,888 --> 00:29:45,928
The triangle, you know
the triangle in the middle?
1011
00:29:45,928 --> 00:29:46,248
The triangle, you know
the triangle in the middle?
1012
00:29:46,248 --> 00:29:48,288
Yeah?
Are far too big, far too large.
1013
00:29:48,288 --> 00:29:48,968
Yeah?
Are far too big, far too large.
1014
00:29:48,968 --> 00:29:51,008
That means we don't have
enough lavender.
1015
00:29:51,008 --> 00:29:52,088
That means we don't have
enough lavender.
1016
00:29:52,088 --> 00:29:54,128
It's like lacking 50 or something,
maybe more.
1017
00:29:54,128 --> 00:29:55,248
It's like lacking 50 or something,
maybe more.
1018
00:29:55,248 --> 00:29:57,128
I think it was too large,
that's for sure.
1019
00:29:57,128 --> 00:29:59,168
Getting more plants from the UK
at this stage could be a real
1020
00:29:59,168 --> 00:29:59,968
Getting more plants from the UK
at this stage could be a real
1021
00:29:59,968 --> 00:30:01,968
race against time.
1022
00:30:01,968 --> 00:30:04,008
We're gonna either have
to order more lavender. Yes.
1023
00:30:04,008 --> 00:30:06,048
We're gonna either have
to order more lavender. Yes.
1024
00:30:06,048 --> 00:30:07,208
We're gonna either have
to order more lavender. Yes.
1025
00:30:07,208 --> 00:30:09,248
Or we're gonna have to reduce
the size of the middle section
1026
00:30:09,248 --> 00:30:11,248
Or we're gonna have to reduce
the size of the middle section
1027
00:30:11,248 --> 00:30:13,288
drastically and then it's not
going to look good.
1028
00:30:13,288 --> 00:30:14,128
drastically and then it's not
going to look good.
1029
00:30:14,128 --> 00:30:16,168
If you say we have to order more,
we'll order more.
1030
00:30:16,168 --> 00:30:17,968
If you say we have to order more,
we'll order more.
1031
00:30:17,968 --> 00:30:19,528
I'm waiting for you, OK?
1032
00:30:22,048 --> 00:30:24,088
Ithaca heads out and soon
discovers where the error lies.
1033
00:30:24,088 --> 00:30:25,768
Ithaca heads out and soon
discovers where the error lies.
1034
00:30:26,648 --> 00:30:28,688
What's happened is
that our triangle...
1035
00:30:28,688 --> 00:30:30,728
What's happened is
that our triangle...
1036
00:30:30,728 --> 00:30:30,968
What's happened is
that our triangle...
1037
00:30:30,968 --> 00:30:33,008
Our triangle shape is way too big.
1038
00:30:33,008 --> 00:30:33,248
Our triangle shape is way too big.
1039
00:30:33,248 --> 00:30:35,288
Yes, this part is far too large.
1040
00:30:35,288 --> 00:30:35,528
Yes, this part is far too large.
1041
00:30:35,528 --> 00:30:37,488
We should just stop here, you see?
1042
00:30:37,488 --> 00:30:39,528
This triangle is way too big
to match the drawing
1043
00:30:39,528 --> 00:30:40,688
This triangle is way too big
to match the drawing
1044
00:30:40,688 --> 00:30:42,728
and to match the number of lavender
plants that we've ordered.
1045
00:30:42,728 --> 00:30:44,768
and to match the number of lavender
plants that we've ordered.
1046
00:30:44,768 --> 00:30:44,928
and to match the number of lavender
plants that we've ordered.
1047
00:30:45,888 --> 00:30:47,928
One option is to reduce the size
of the bed, but Ithaca's not happy.
1048
00:30:47,928 --> 00:30:49,968
One option is to reduce the size
of the bed, but Ithaca's not happy.
1049
00:30:49,968 --> 00:30:51,008
One option is to reduce the size
of the bed, but Ithaca's not happy.
1050
00:30:51,008 --> 00:30:53,048
It's going to be a very small bed.
1051
00:30:53,048 --> 00:30:53,208
It's going to be a very small bed.
1052
00:30:55,488 --> 00:30:57,528
It's just...
1053
00:30:57,528 --> 00:30:58,288
It's just...
1054
00:30:58,288 --> 00:31:00,328
It's just stopping here,
rather than here.
1055
00:31:00,328 --> 00:31:01,568
It's just stopping here,
rather than here.
1056
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:03,368
OK, fine.
1057
00:31:05,288 --> 00:31:07,328
I just want it to look beautiful.
1058
00:31:07,328 --> 00:31:07,488
I just want it to look beautiful.
1059
00:31:08,648 --> 00:31:10,328
I'm drawing a line here.
1060
00:31:11,128 --> 00:31:13,168
Let's hope the lavender measures up
in time for the big summer fair.
1061
00:31:13,168 --> 00:31:15,208
Let's hope the lavender measures up
in time for the big summer fair.
1062
00:31:15,208 --> 00:31:15,488
Let's hope the lavender measures up
in time for the big summer fair.
1063
00:31:18,768 --> 00:31:20,808
Being custodians of a chateau's
sizeable country estate
1064
00:31:20,808 --> 00:31:22,608
Being custodians of a chateau's
sizeable country estate
1065
00:31:22,608 --> 00:31:24,648
brings lots of responsibility
and hard work.
1066
00:31:24,648 --> 00:31:25,528
brings lots of responsibility
and hard work.
1067
00:31:26,888 --> 00:31:28,928
It's all made worthwhile, though,
when you get time to down tools
1068
00:31:28,928 --> 00:31:30,608
It's all made worthwhile, though,
when you get time to down tools
1069
00:31:30,608 --> 00:31:32,648
and enjoy the benefits of a
nature reserve on the doorstep,
1070
00:31:32,648 --> 00:31:34,688
and enjoy the benefits of a
nature reserve on the doorstep,
1071
00:31:34,688 --> 00:31:35,008
and enjoy the benefits of a
nature reserve on the doorstep,
1072
00:31:35,008 --> 00:31:37,048
and since we've been at the chateau,
June has always been a special time.
1073
00:31:37,048 --> 00:31:39,088
and since we've been at the chateau,
June has always been a special time.
1074

and since we've been at the chateau,
June has always been a special time.
1075
00:31:39,408 --> 00:31:41,448
Now, look at the ground,
tell me what you can see.
1076
00:31:41,448 --> 00:31:41,688
Now, look at the ground,
tell me what you can see.
1077
00:31:41,688 --> 00:31:43,728
I can see rocks.
1078
00:31:43,728 --> 00:31:44,328
I can see rocks.
1079
00:31:44,328 --> 00:31:45,568
You can see rocks.
1080
00:31:45,568 --> 00:31:47,328
Can you see anything moving?
1081
00:31:47,328 --> 00:31:49,368
Look!
Look, what?
1082
00:31:49,368 --> 00:31:49,688
Look!
Look, what?
1083
00:31:49,688 --> 00:31:51,728
Timmy! Timmy!
Timmy toad.
1084
00:31:51,728 --> 00:31:51,968
Timmy! Timmy!
Timmy toad.
1085
00:31:51,968 --> 00:31:54,008
Timmy toad!
1086
00:31:54,008 --> 00:31:54,568
Timmy toad!
1087
00:31:54,568 --> 00:31:56,608
The common toad, AKA Timmy,
is found all over France.
1088

The common toad, AKA Timmy,
is found all over France.

The common toad, AKA Timmy,
is found all over France.
1090
00:32:00,568 --> 00:32:02,608
But how many are there?
See how many we can see.
1091
00:32:02,608 --> 00:32:03,008
But how many are there?
See how many we can see.
1092
00:32:03,008 --> 00:32:04,168
Look!
1093
00:32:04,168 --> 00:32:06,208
The spring spawn has
turned into tiny toadlets
1094
00:32:06,208 --> 00:32:07,288
The spring spawn has
turned into tiny toadlets
1095
00:32:07,288 --> 00:32:09,328
and they appear at the front
of our chateau in their thousands...
1096
00:32:09,328 --> 00:32:11,368
and they appear at the front
of our chateau in their thousands...
1097
00:32:11,368 --> 00:32:11,688
and they appear at the front
of our chateau in their thousands...
1098
00:32:11,688 --> 00:32:13,728
How many can you see,
bouncing there? 100.
1099
00:32:13,728 --> 00:32:14,168
How many can you see,
bouncing there? 100.
1100
00:32:14,168 --> 00:32:15,568
Count them in French for me.
1101
00:32:15,568 --> 00:32:17,608
Un, deux, trois, quatre,
cinq, six, sept, cent.
1102
00:32:17,608 --> 00:32:18,608
Un, deux, trois, quatre,
cinq, six, sept, cent.
1103
00:32:18,608 --> 00:32:20,648
..looking for a cool spot in the
undergrowth to make their lair.
1104
00:32:20,648 --> 00:32:22,528
..looking for a cool spot in the
undergrowth to make their lair.
1105
00:32:22,528 --> 00:32:24,568
Oh, look, look all around your feet,
they're all over the place.
1106
00:32:24,568 --> 00:32:24,888
Oh, look, look all around your feet,
they're all over the place.
1107
00:32:24,888 --> 00:32:26,928
Look over here, Arthur,
I can see hundreds.
1108
00:32:26,928 --> 00:32:28,888
Look over here, Arthur,
I can see hundreds.
1109
00:32:28,888 --> 00:32:30,928
This is Timmy,
but I don't want to squash Timmy.
1110
00:32:30,928 --> 00:32:32,968
This is Timmy,
but I don't want to squash Timmy.
1111
00:32:32,968 --> 00:32:33,408
This is Timmy,
but I don't want to squash Timmy.
1112
00:32:33,408 --> 00:32:35,448
Look, see there? They jump
quite a long way, don't they?
1113
00:32:35,448 --> 00:32:36,968
Look, see there? They jump
quite a long way, don't they?
1114
00:32:37,688 --> 00:32:39,728
With a mass migration of toadlets
heading straight into the path
1115
00:32:39,728 --> 00:32:41,648
With a mass migration of toadlets
heading straight into the path
1116
00:32:41,648 --> 00:32:43,688
of upcoming chateau renovations,
1117
00:32:43,688 --> 00:32:44,008
of upcoming chateau renovations,
1118
00:32:44,008 --> 00:32:46,048
it's time for a spot
of wildlife rescue.
1119
00:32:46,048 --> 00:32:46,848
it's time for a spot
of wildlife rescue.
1120
00:32:47,888 --> 00:32:49,848
Here we go, fill it full of
Timmy toads, go on, everybody,
1121
00:32:49,848 --> 00:32:51,888
find Timmy toads.
1122
00:32:51,888 --> 00:32:52,208
find Timmy toads.
1123
00:32:52,208 --> 00:32:54,248
I'll put them all in here,
so we can find it.
1124
00:32:54,248 --> 00:32:55,608
I'll put them all in here,
so we can find it.
1125
00:32:57,208 --> 00:32:59,248
Everyone rallies around
to gather up the toadlets,
1126
00:32:59,248 --> 00:33:00,648
Everyone rallies around
to gather up the toadlets,
1127
00:33:00,648 --> 00:33:02,688
so we can find them
a more suitable home.
1128
00:33:02,688 --> 00:33:03,288
so we can find them
a more suitable home.
1129
00:33:03,288 --> 00:33:05,248
I got one.
1130
00:33:05,248 --> 00:33:06,448
I found one!
1131
00:33:06,448 --> 00:33:08,048
Be very delicate with it.
1132
00:33:08,048 --> 00:33:10,088
Mummy, see if you can find one.
1133
00:33:10,088 --> 00:33:10,408
Mummy, see if you can find one.
1134
00:33:10,408 --> 00:33:12,088
There you go.
1135
00:33:14,368 --> 00:33:16,408
Oh, Daddy's found loads.
1136
00:33:16,408 --> 00:33:17,008
Oh, Daddy's found loads.
1137
00:33:17,008 --> 00:33:19,128
Oh, Daddy!
1138
00:33:19,128 --> 00:33:21,168
Oh, this is the place.
Oh, there's loads here.
1139
00:33:21,168 --> 00:33:21,408
Oh, this is the place.
Oh, there's loads here.
1140
00:33:21,408 --> 00:33:23,248
I found one!
1141
00:33:23,248 --> 00:33:25,288
Well done, Dor,
put it here in the box.
1142
00:33:25,288 --> 00:33:25,528
Well done, Dor,
put it here in the box.
1143
00:33:25,528 --> 00:33:26,808
That's amazing.
1144
00:33:26,808 --> 00:33:28,528
They're all running away
at a rate of knots,
1145
00:33:28,528 --> 00:33:30,568
you actually have to chase them.
1146
00:33:30,568 --> 00:33:30,888
you actually have to chase them.
1147
00:33:30,888 --> 00:33:32,928
These tiny Timmies may be only
around 12 weeks old
1148
00:33:32,928 --> 00:33:34,088
These tiny Timmies may be only
around 12 weeks old
1149
00:33:34,088 --> 00:33:36,128
and one centimetre long, but they've
already turned from vegetarian
1150
00:33:36,128 --> 00:33:38,168
and one centimetre long, but they've
already turned from vegetarian
1151

and one centimetre long, but they've
already turned from vegetarian
1152
00:33:38,728 --> 00:33:40,768
tadpoles to meat-eaters
and are the gardener's friend.
1153

tadpoles to meat-eaters
and are the gardener's friend.
1154

tadpoles to meat-eaters
and are the gardener's friend.
1155
00:33:43,128 --> 00:33:45,168
Do you know what they eat in France?
What?
1156
00:33:45,168 --> 00:33:45,688
Do you know what they eat in France?
What?
1157
00:33:45,688 --> 00:33:47,728
Frogs' legs.
1158
00:33:47,728 --> 00:33:47,968
Frogs' legs.
1159
00:33:47,968 --> 00:33:49,328
Frogs' legs?
1160
00:33:49,328 --> 00:33:51,368
If they survive all the hazards,
including our hungry herons...
1161
00:33:51,368 --> 00:33:53,288
If they survive all the hazards,
including our hungry herons...
1162
00:33:53,288 --> 00:33:55,328
Look how many are in there, see?
Count them.
1163
00:33:55,328 --> 00:33:55,568
Look how many are in there, see?
Count them.
1164
00:33:55,568 --> 00:33:57,088
Whoa!
1165
00:33:57,088 --> 00:33:59,128
1,2,3, there's 100.
1166
00:33:59,128 --> 00:33:59,448
1,2,3, there's 100.
1167
00:33:59,448 --> 00:34:01,488
They'll be ready to spawn another
generation in three years' time.
1168
00:34:01,488 --> 00:34:03,528
They'll be ready to spawn another
generation in three years' time.
1169
00:34:03,528 --> 00:34:03,768
They'll be ready to spawn another
generation in three years' time.
1170
00:34:03,768 --> 00:34:05,128
Right, Arthur, Arthur?
1171
00:34:05,128 --> 00:34:07,168
We'll let Timmy toads go
over here, come over here, son.
1172
00:34:07,168 --> 00:34:07,688
We'll let Timmy toads go
over here, come over here, son.
1173
00:34:07,688 --> 00:34:09,248
Are we going to let them all go?
1174
00:34:09,248 --> 00:34:11,288
Yeah. Are you ready?
No.
1175
00:34:11,288 --> 00:34:11,968
Yeah. Are you ready?
No.
1176
00:34:11,968 --> 00:34:14,008
They're coming out, now, look.
1177
00:34:14,008 --> 00:34:14,168
They're coming out, now, look.
1178
00:34:15,368 --> 00:34:17,408
The Timmy toads are all going to be
free now and that's good.
1179
00:34:17,408 --> 00:34:18,568
The Timmy toads are all going to be
free now and that's good.
1180
00:34:24,088 --> 00:34:26,128
270 miles south of our place, it's
crunch time for Angela and Steve,
1181
00:34:26,128 --> 00:34:28,168
270 miles south of our place, it's
crunch time for Angela and Steve,
1182
00:34:28,168 --> 00:34:28,848
270 miles south of our place, it's
crunch time for Angela and Steve,
1183
00:34:30,968 --> 00:34:33,008
as they're about to find out if the
final pieces of their ceiling rose
1184
00:34:33,008 --> 00:34:34,728
as they're about to find out if the
final pieces of their ceiling rose
1185
00:34:34,728 --> 00:34:36,768
have stuck,
and are in the right places.
1186
00:34:36,768 --> 00:34:38,048
have stuck,
and are in the right places.
1187
00:34:42,448 --> 00:34:44,488
Well, it's still up at the minute,
Steve,
1188
00:34:44,488 --> 00:34:44,808
Well, it's still up at the minute,
Steve,
1189
00:34:44,808 --> 00:34:46,848
so that's got to be
10% of the worry over.
1190
00:34:46,848 --> 00:34:47,168
so that's got to be
10% of the worry over.
1191
00:34:47,168 --> 00:34:49,208
Well, you're going
to have to release the trolley jack.
1192
00:34:49,208 --> 00:34:49,528
Well, you're going
to have to release the trolley jack.
1193
00:34:49,528 --> 00:34:51,568
Remember you've got to catch
the bits as well, as they come down.
1194
00:34:51,568 --> 00:34:51,888
Remember you've got to catch
the bits as well, as they come down.
1195
00:34:51,888 --> 00:34:53,328
Are you ready?
Yeah, go on.
1196
00:34:53,328 --> 00:34:55,368
Is it coming down?
Yeah, OK.
1197
00:34:55,368 --> 00:34:55,608
Is it coming down?
Yeah, OK.
1198
00:34:55,608 --> 00:34:57,368
Yeah, that's fine.
1199
00:34:57,368 --> 00:34:59,168
Right, the moment of truth.
1200
00:35:04,248 --> 00:35:05,928
It's actually quite exciting.
1201
00:35:07,328 --> 00:35:09,368
I can see my plan, that I've been
thinking about for months,
1202
00:35:09,368 --> 00:35:11,408
I can see my plan, that I've been
thinking about for months,
1203
00:35:11,408 --> 00:35:11,648
I can see my plan, that I've been
thinking about for months,
1204
00:35:11,648 --> 00:35:12,928
coming together.
1205
00:35:17,368 --> 00:35:19,248
It's still up anyway, ooh.
1206
00:35:20,848 --> 00:35:22,888
And doesn't that look grand?
1207
00:35:22,888 --> 00:35:23,288
And doesn't that look grand?
1208
00:35:23,288 --> 00:35:24,568
Voila!
1209
00:35:24,568 --> 00:35:26,608
Oh, my gosh, it's great!
1210
00:35:26,608 --> 00:35:27,248
Oh, my gosh, it's great!
1211
00:35:27,248 --> 00:35:29,288
I do love being married
to an engineer.
1212
00:35:29,288 --> 00:35:29,808
I do love being married
to an engineer.
1213
00:35:29,808 --> 00:35:31,848
I'm sure I've heard Angel say that,
too.
1214
00:35:31,848 --> 00:35:32,368
I'm sure I've heard Angel say that,
too.
1215
00:35:32,368 --> 00:35:34,408
I love it, I absolutely love it.
1216
00:35:34,408 --> 00:35:34,648
I love it, I absolutely love it.
1217
00:35:34,648 --> 00:35:36,208
How lined up are they all?
1218
00:35:36,208 --> 00:35:37,928
Well, I'm not even going to
worry about that, to be fair.
1219
00:35:37,928 --> 00:35:39,968
They're all on the ceiling,
and that's the main thing.
1220
00:35:39,968 --> 00:35:40,408
They're all on the ceiling,
and that's the main thing.
1221
00:35:40,408 --> 00:35:41,848
Need to put the light up.
1222
00:35:43,248 --> 00:35:44,888
It is actually really heavy,
this chandelier.
1223
00:35:44,888 --> 00:35:46,128
I know.
1224
00:35:48,728 --> 00:35:50,528
I don't want to knock it, you see.
1225
00:35:50,528 --> 00:35:52,128
Are you going now, with it?
1226
00:35:52,128 --> 00:35:53,448
I'll have a look.
1227
00:35:53,448 --> 00:35:55,328
I can't go any higher,
I'm on my tiptoes.
1228
00:35:57,968 --> 00:36:00,008
Watch you don't knock anything off.
1229
00:36:00,008 --> 00:36:00,448
Watch you don't knock anything off.
1230
00:36:00,448 --> 00:36:02,208
What about there, somewhere?
1231
00:36:02,208 --> 00:36:03,688
Let me just stand away.
1232
00:36:04,968 --> 00:36:07,008
I just can't believe
how beautiful it looks.
1233
00:36:07,008 --> 00:36:07,688
I just can't believe
how beautiful it looks.
1234
00:36:07,688 --> 00:36:09,728
I really do want them
in all the rooms now.
1235
00:36:09,728 --> 00:36:10,208
I really do want them
in all the rooms now.
1236
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:12,248
He's gonna kill me!
1237
00:36:12,248 --> 00:36:12,568
He's gonna kill me!
1238
00:36:12,568 --> 00:36:14,128
There we go.
Ah, Steve.
1239
00:36:14,128 --> 00:36:16,168
Shall I go and put the power on?
Yeah.
1240
00:36:16,168 --> 00:36:16,488
Shall I go and put the power on?
Yeah.
1241
00:36:16,488 --> 00:36:18,528
Then you can see what happens.
Oh, yeah, we're on.
1242
00:36:18,528 --> 00:36:20,168
Then you can see what happens.
Oh, yeah, we're on.
1243
00:36:20,168 --> 00:36:21,888
And then there was light.
1244
00:36:21,888 --> 00:36:23,848
It's absolutely beautiful.
1245
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:25,888
It's lovely, Steve.
Wow.
1246
00:36:25,888 --> 00:36:26,128
It's lovely, Steve.
Wow.
1247
00:36:26,128 --> 00:36:28,168
Oh, that's really good, isn't it?
1248
00:36:28,168 --> 00:36:28,688
Oh, that's really good, isn't it?
1249
00:36:28,688 --> 00:36:30,608
Thank you, Steve, honestly.
1250
00:36:30,608 --> 00:36:31,968
You're welcome.
1251
00:36:33,928 --> 00:36:35,168
It's worth it.
1252
00:36:36,288 --> 00:36:38,128
Job's a good 'un.
1253
00:36:38,128 --> 00:36:40,168
Sadly for Steve, Angela has six more
bedroom ceilings still to play with.
1254
00:36:40,168 --> 00:36:42,208
Sadly for Steve, Angela has six more
bedroom ceilings still to play with.
1255
00:36:42,208 --> 00:36:42,968
Sadly for Steve, Angela has six more
bedroom ceilings still to play with.
1256
00:36:46,848 --> 00:36:48,688
Coming up..
1257
00:36:48,688 --> 00:36:50,728
Alex and Ithaca's fancy new
lavender beds come under attack.
1258
00:36:50,728 --> 00:36:52,648
Alex and Ithaca's fancy new
lavender beds come under attack.
1259
00:36:52,648 --> 00:36:53,688
Oh, what's this?
1260
00:36:55,688 --> 00:36:57,728
I think a dog has dug up...
1261
00:36:57,728 --> 00:36:59,488
I think a dog has dug up...
1262
00:36:59,488 --> 00:37:01,408
It's definitely lavender.
1263
00:37:01,408 --> 00:37:03,448
And the thing is,
I don't know what colour it is.
1264
00:37:03,448 --> 00:37:04,248
And the thing is,
I don't know what colour it is.
1265
00:37:04,248 --> 00:37:06,288
Hmmm.
1266
00:37:06,288 --> 00:37:06,928
Hmmm.
1267
00:37:06,928 --> 00:37:08,968
And it's a final push to get
Mum and Dad's new apartment ready...
1268
00:37:08,968 --> 00:37:10,448
And it's a final push to get
Mum and Dad's new apartment ready...
1269
00:37:10,448 --> 00:37:12,488
Actually, this bed throw
was one my mum always admired,
1270
00:37:12,488 --> 00:37:14,528
Actually, this bed throw
was one my mum always admired,
1271
00:37:14,528 --> 00:37:14,768
Actually, this bed throw
was one my mum always admired,
1272
00:37:14,768 --> 00:37:16,808
so it's going back on.
1273
00:37:16,808 --> 00:37:17,528
so it's going back on.
1274
00:37:17,528 --> 00:37:19,568
..before it's finally unveiled.
1275
00:37:19,568 --> 00:37:20,608
..before it's finally unveiled.
1276
00:37:20,608 --> 00:37:22,648
I think it looks quite nice,
actually.
1277
00:37:22,648 --> 00:37:23,288
I think it looks quite nice,
actually.
1278
00:37:30,527 --> 00:37:32,567
Donna and Paul are putting B&B plans
on hold
1279
00:37:32,567 --> 00:37:32,967
Donna and Paul are putting B&B plans
on hold
1280
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:34,847
to create a self-contained
apartment,
1281
00:37:34,847 --> 00:37:36,887
where Donna's parents
could feel more at home.
1282
00:37:36,887 --> 00:37:38,407
where Donna's parents
could feel more at home.
1283
00:37:38,407 --> 00:37:40,447
It's what's kept us going, isn't it?
Yeah. Knowing that we're going to
1284
00:37:40,447 --> 00:37:41,247
It's what's kept us going, isn't it?
Yeah. Knowing that we're going to
1285
00:37:41,247 --> 00:37:43,287
get our own apartment.
It's took a long time, though.
1286
00:37:43,287 --> 00:37:43,727
get our own apartment.
It's took a long time, though.
1287
00:37:43,727 --> 00:37:45,767
The apartment is finally
ready for some finishing touches.
1288
00:37:45,767 --> 00:37:47,607
The apartment is finally
ready for some finishing touches.
1289
00:37:49,527 --> 00:37:51,567
Actually, this bed throw was
one my mum always admired
1290
00:37:51,567 --> 00:37:53,607
Actually, this bed throw was
one my mum always admired
1291
00:37:53,607 --> 00:37:53,927
Actually, this bed throw was
one my mum always admired
1292
00:37:53,927 --> 00:37:55,967
and luckily, it's...
The colour matches as well.
1293
00:37:55,967 --> 00:37:56,207
and luckily, it's...
The colour matches as well.
1294
00:37:56,207 --> 00:37:57,607
SHE LAUGHS
1295
00:37:57,607 --> 00:37:59,087
So it's going back on.
1296
00:38:00,567 --> 00:38:02,607
After ten weeks of hard work,
the apartment is finished.
1297
00:38:02,607 --> 00:38:04,647
After ten weeks of hard work,
the apartment is finished.
1298
00:38:04,647 --> 00:38:05,047
After ten weeks of hard work,
the apartment is finished.
1299
00:38:05,047 --> 00:38:07,087
But sadly, Donna's parents made
the decision to return to the UK,
1300
00:38:07,087 --> 00:38:09,127
But sadly, Donna's parents made
the decision to return to the UK,
1301
00:38:09,127 --> 00:38:09,367
But sadly, Donna's parents made
the decision to return to the UK,
1302
00:38:09,367 --> 00:38:11,407
because as well as missing home,
1303
00:38:11,407 --> 00:38:11,727
because as well as missing home,
1304
00:38:11,727 --> 00:38:13,767
dad Brian has been suffering
health problems.
1305
00:38:13,767 --> 00:38:14,847
dad Brian has been suffering
health problems.
1306
00:38:14,847 --> 00:38:16,887
We had, you know, the news that my
parents were going back to the UK.
1307
00:38:16,887 --> 00:38:18,927
We had, you know, the news that my
parents were going back to the UK.
1308
00:38:18,927 --> 00:38:19,807
We had, you know, the news that my
parents were going back to the UK.
1309
00:38:19,807 --> 00:38:21,847
We were a bit unsettled because of
that, and...that was disappointing.
1310
00:38:21,847 --> 00:38:23,887
We were a bit unsettled because of
that, and...that was disappointing.
1311
00:38:23,887 --> 00:38:24,247
We were a bit unsettled because of
that, and...that was disappointing.
1312
00:38:25,687 --> 00:38:27,727
Rather than see their hard work
go to waste,
1313
00:38:27,727 --> 00:38:28,567
Rather than see their hard work
go to waste,
1314
00:38:28,567 --> 00:38:30,607
Donna and Paul have looked for
the silver lining
1315
00:38:30,607 --> 00:38:31,127
Donna and Paul have looked for
the silver lining
1316
00:38:31,127 --> 00:38:33,167
and come up with a plan
to rent out the apartment,
1317
00:38:33,167 --> 00:38:34,127
and come up with a plan
to rent out the apartment,
1318
00:38:34,127 --> 00:38:36,167
to bring in some much-needed income.
1319
00:38:36,167 --> 00:38:36,767
to bring in some much-needed income.
1320
00:38:36,767 --> 00:38:38,807
I think these were bought
1321
00:38:38,807 --> 00:38:40,407
in Dubai, actually.
1322
00:38:42,447 --> 00:38:43,607
And found their way
1323
00:38:43,607 --> 00:38:44,927
to a chateau in France.
1324
00:38:46,527 --> 00:38:48,567
Now, it's about dressing the space
to attract online bookings.
1325
00:38:48,567 --> 00:38:50,607
Now, it's about dressing the space
to attract online bookings.
1326
00:38:50,607 --> 00:38:51,287
Now, it's about dressing the space
to attract online bookings.
1327
00:38:51,287 --> 00:38:53,327
It just looks that bit more homely.
1328
00:38:53,327 --> 00:38:53,647
It just looks that bit more homely.
1329
00:38:53,647 --> 00:38:55,687
It's how I would want to see it,
anyway.
1330
00:38:55,687 --> 00:38:56,007
It's how I would want to see it,
anyway.
1331
00:38:56,007 --> 00:38:57,887
I should have actually brought
a bottle of wine up
1332
00:38:57,887 --> 00:38:58,967
and stood it there, as well.
1333
00:39:02,487 --> 00:39:04,527
Over the past ten weeks,
they've plastered and painted,
1334
00:39:04,527 --> 00:39:06,407
Over the past ten weeks,
they've plastered and painted,
1335
00:39:06,407 --> 00:39:08,447
fitted a kitchen and bathroom,
1336
00:39:08,447 --> 00:39:08,767
fitted a kitchen and bathroom,
1337
00:39:08,767 --> 00:39:10,807
and given the apartment
its own front door.
1338
00:39:10,807 --> 00:39:11,167
and given the apartment
its own front door.
1339
00:39:11,167 --> 00:39:12,487
THEY LAUGH
1340
00:39:12,487 --> 00:39:13,967
This was once a dark
1341
00:39:13,967 --> 00:39:16,007
and unloved space in a run-down
wing of the chateau.
1342
00:39:16,007 --> 00:39:17,287
and unloved space in a run-down
wing of the chateau.
1343
00:39:18,567 --> 00:39:20,607
Now it's self-contained, spacious
and comfortable accommodation,
1344
00:39:20,607 --> 00:39:22,567
Now it's self-contained, spacious
and comfortable accommodation,
1345
00:39:22,567 --> 00:39:24,607
ready for Donna and Paul
to host paying guests.
1346
00:39:24,607 --> 00:39:25,847
ready for Donna and Paul
to host paying guests.
1347
00:39:28,887 --> 00:39:30,687
Time to take some photos.
1348
00:39:34,007 --> 00:39:36,047
Quite nice with the beam, there.
1349
00:39:36,047 --> 00:39:36,207
Quite nice with the beam, there.
1350
00:39:39,847 --> 00:39:41,887
I'm just going onto one of
the rental sites now, and, uh...
1351
00:39:41,887 --> 00:39:43,407
I'm just going onto one of
the rental sites now, and, uh...
1352
00:39:45,247 --> 00:39:47,287
..upload the apartment.
1353
00:39:47,287 --> 00:39:48,087
..upload the apartment.
1354
00:39:48,087 --> 00:39:50,127
Obviously, my parents, I think,
feel, you know, a bit guilty.
1355
00:39:50,127 --> 00:39:52,167
Obviously, my parents, I think,
feel, you know, a bit guilty.
1356
00:39:52,167 --> 00:39:54,207
I think they're praying
that we get some bookings.
1357
00:39:54,207 --> 00:39:55,967
I think they're praying
that we get some bookings.
1358
00:39:55,967 --> 00:39:58,007
I think it looks quite nice,
actually.
1359
00:39:58,007 --> 00:39:58,527
I think it looks quite nice,
actually.
1360
00:39:58,527 --> 00:39:59,887
I'd rent it myself.
1361
00:40:01,927 --> 00:40:03,967
There we go, it's live.
1362
00:40:03,967 --> 00:40:04,127
There we go, it's live.
1363
00:40:06,047 --> 00:40:07,927
Just want some bookings now!
1364
00:40:13,807 --> 00:40:15,847
In the countryside around Calais
in northern France,
1365
00:40:15,847 --> 00:40:17,127
In the countryside around Calais
in northern France,
1366
00:40:17,127 --> 00:40:19,167
Ithaca and Alex have been preparing
the chateau gardens
1367
00:40:19,167 --> 00:40:20,007
Ithaca and Alex have been preparing
the chateau gardens
1368
00:40:20,007 --> 00:40:22,047

Antiques and Flower show,
1370
00:40:22,687 --> 00:40:24,727
that's important to raise
repair funds
1371
00:40:24,727 --> 00:40:24,967
that's important to raise
repair funds
1372
00:40:24,967 --> 00:40:26,847
for their historic family home.
1373
00:40:26,847 --> 00:40:28,887
I'm getting slightly tired,
I'll be honest.
1374
00:40:28,887 --> 00:40:30,087
I'm getting slightly tired,
I'll be honest.
1375
00:40:30,087 --> 00:40:32,127
The lavender beds have now
been planted.
1376
00:40:32,127 --> 00:40:33,047
The lavender beds have now
been planted.
1377
00:40:35,087 --> 00:40:36,207
Hi, Stash.
1378
00:40:36,207 --> 00:40:38,007
Hi, oosty-woosty.
1379
00:40:38,007 --> 00:40:40,047
All that's needed
is a decent watering.
1380
00:40:40,047 --> 00:40:40,527
All that's needed
is a decent watering.
1381
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:44,447
Well, Alex, today, is not here.
1382
00:40:44,447 --> 00:40:44,687
Well, Alex, today, is not here.
1383
00:40:44,687 --> 00:40:46,727
He's working, actually.
1384
00:40:46,727 --> 00:40:46,967
He's working, actually.
1385
00:40:46,967 --> 00:40:49,007
We both have full-time jobs and...
1386
00:40:49,007 --> 00:40:50,887
We both have full-time jobs and...
1387
00:40:50,887 --> 00:40:52,927
..it takes a lot of money
to restore,
1388
00:40:52,927 --> 00:40:54,407
..it takes a lot of money
to restore,
1389
00:40:54,407 --> 00:40:56,447
to rebuild and to improve
the gardens.
1390
00:40:56,447 --> 00:40:58,487
to rebuild and to improve
the gardens.
1391
00:40:58,487 --> 00:40:58,807
to rebuild and to improve
the gardens.
1392
00:40:58,807 --> 00:41:00,847
So we do have to work a lot,
and when we're not working at work,
1393
00:41:00,847 --> 00:41:02,887
So we do have to work a lot,
and when we're not working at work,
1394
00:41:02,887 --> 00:41:03,487
So we do have to work a lot,
and when we're not working at work,
1395
00:41:03,487 --> 00:41:05,167
well, we're working in the garden.
1396
00:41:05,167 --> 00:41:06,887
Great way to spend your free time.
1397
00:41:06,887 --> 00:41:08,927
I've taken my day off
and I'm looking after our lavender.
1398
00:41:08,927 --> 00:41:10,967
I've taken my day off
and I'm looking after our lavender.
1399
00:41:10,967 --> 00:41:11,607
I've taken my day off
and I'm looking after our lavender.
1400
00:41:12,967 --> 00:41:14,207
Non.
1401
00:41:14,207 --> 00:41:16,087
Out.
1402
00:41:16,087 --> 00:41:18,127
There are 480 newly planted bushes
that now need a regular drink
1403
00:41:18,127 --> 00:41:20,167
There are 480 newly planted bushes
that now need a regular drink
1404
00:41:20,167 --> 00:41:20,487
There are 480 newly planted bushes
that now need a regular drink
1405
00:41:20,487 --> 00:41:22,527
to get them
through their first summer.
1406
00:41:22,527 --> 00:41:23,527
to get them
through their first summer.
1407
00:41:23,527 --> 00:41:25,567
I'm making sure that we're not
going to lose any.
1408
00:41:25,567 --> 00:41:26,607
I'm making sure that we're not
going to lose any.
1409
00:41:27,767 --> 00:41:29,807
Drought isn't the only threat
to young plants
1410
00:41:29,807 --> 00:41:30,047
Drought isn't the only threat
to young plants
1411
00:41:30,047 --> 00:41:31,007
at this chateau, however.
1412
00:41:32,327 --> 00:41:33,847
Oh, what's this?
1413
00:41:38,687 --> 00:41:40,247
Hm.
1414
00:41:40,247 --> 00:41:42,287
I think our dog has dug up.
1415
00:41:42,287 --> 00:41:44,047
I think our dog has dug up.
1416
00:41:44,047 --> 00:41:46,087
It's definitely lavender.
1417
00:41:46,087 --> 00:41:46,287
It's definitely lavender.
1418
00:41:47,927 --> 00:41:49,967
And the thing is,
I don't know what colour it is.
1419
00:41:49,967 --> 00:41:50,927
And the thing is,
I don't know what colour it is.
1420
00:41:52,207 --> 00:41:54,287
Hmm.
1421
00:41:54,287 --> 00:41:56,327
I'm just going to plant this
and we'll see what it gives.
1422
00:41:56,327 --> 00:41:58,367
I'm just going to plant this
and we'll see what it gives.
1423
00:41:58,367 --> 00:41:58,687
I'm just going to plant this
and we'll see what it gives.
1424
00:41:58,687 --> 00:42:00,727
Let's hope it's the right colour,
in the right place.
1425
00:42:00,727 --> 00:42:02,127
Let's hope it's the right colour,
in the right place.
1426
00:42:02,127 --> 00:42:04,167
We spent days drawing this pattern,
digging it out,
1427
00:42:04,167 --> 00:42:05,567
We spent days drawing this pattern,
digging it out,
1428
00:42:05,567 --> 00:42:07,607
turning the soil, digging, planting,
measuring, measuring.
1429
00:42:07,607 --> 00:42:09,207
turning the soil, digging, planting,
measuring, measuring.
1430
00:42:09,207 --> 00:42:11,247
It's so close to the chateau
that it needs to look beautiful
1431
00:42:11,247 --> 00:42:13,287
It's so close to the chateau
that it needs to look beautiful
1432
00:42:13,287 --> 00:42:13,727
It's so close to the chateau
that it needs to look beautiful
1433
00:42:13,727 --> 00:42:15,767
and perfect at all times.
1434
00:42:15,767 --> 00:42:16,847
and perfect at all times.
1435
00:42:21,207 --> 00:42:22,927
Yogi, what are you doing?
1436
00:42:22,927 --> 00:42:24,247
What are you doing?
1437
00:42:24,247 --> 00:42:25,647
Just stop.
1438
00:42:27,087 --> 00:42:29,127
Oh, shoo! Go away!
1439
00:42:29,127 --> 00:42:29,567
Oh, shoo! Go away!
1440
00:42:29,567 --> 00:42:31,607
I love Yogi to bits,
but she is so clumsy and heavy
1441
00:42:31,607 --> 00:42:33,647
I love Yogi to bits,
but she is so clumsy and heavy
1442
00:42:33,647 --> 00:42:34,447
I love Yogi to bits,
but she is so clumsy and heavy
1443
00:42:34,447 --> 00:42:36,487
and she just doesn't understand
1444
00:42:36,487 --> 00:42:36,887
and she just doesn't understand
1445
00:42:36,887 --> 00:42:38,927
that this is a beautiful
lavender bed-to-be.
1446
00:42:38,927 --> 00:42:40,087
that this is a beautiful
lavender bed-to-be.
1447
00:42:41,807 --> 00:42:43,847
While Yogi eyes up
the lavender from the ground,
1448
00:42:43,847 --> 00:42:45,087
While Yogi eyes up
the lavender from the ground,
1449
00:42:45,087 --> 00:42:47,127
Ithaca heads upstairs
to get a bird's-eye view.
1450
00:42:47,127 --> 00:42:48,087
Ithaca heads upstairs
to get a bird's-eye view.
1451
00:42:51,327 --> 00:42:53,367
What was once a plain gravel path
1452
00:42:53,367 --> 00:42:54,167
What was once a plain gravel path
1453
00:42:54,167 --> 00:42:56,207
has been laid out
with geometric beds,
1454
00:42:56,207 --> 00:42:56,727
has been laid out
with geometric beds,
1455
00:42:56,727 --> 00:42:58,767
and different colours
of English lavender,
1456
00:42:58,767 --> 00:42:59,687
and different colours
of English lavender,
1457
00:42:59,687 --> 00:43:01,727
chosen to complement the walls and
roof of the 18th-century chateau.
1458
00:43:01,727 --> 00:43:03,767
chosen to complement the walls and
roof of the 18th-century chateau.
1459
00:43:03,767 --> 00:43:04,007
chosen to complement the walls and
roof of the 18th-century chateau.
1460
00:43:04,007 --> 00:43:06,047
This looks so beautiful.
1461
00:43:06,047 --> 00:43:07,847
This looks so beautiful.
1462
00:43:10,367 --> 00:43:12,407
I'm going to take a picture..
1463
00:43:12,407 --> 00:43:13,207
I'm going to take a picture..
1464
00:43:13,207 --> 00:43:15,247
..and send this to my friend
who helped
1465
00:43:15,247 --> 00:43:15,567
..and send this to my friend
who helped
1466
00:43:15,567 --> 00:43:17,127
so that they see
how beautiful it is.
1467
00:43:21,007 --> 00:43:23,047
Finally, Ithaca can put
the lavender to bed,
1468
00:43:23,047 --> 00:43:23,567
Finally, Ithaca can put
the lavender to bed,
1469
00:43:23,567 --> 00:43:25,607
but there's still lots to do
over the next eight weeks
1470
00:43:25,607 --> 00:43:26,047
but there's still lots to do
over the next eight weeks
1471
00:43:26,047 --> 00:43:28,087
if the Antiques and Flower fair
is to be a success.
1472
00:43:28,087 --> 00:43:29,647
if the Antiques and Flower fair
is to be a success.
1473
00:43:36,007 --> 00:43:37,047
Next time....
1474
00:43:37,047 --> 00:43:38,607
What can go wrong?
1475
00:43:38,607 --> 00:43:40,647
..Angela and Steve have
a difference in direction.
1476
00:43:40,647 --> 00:43:42,167
..Angela and Steve have
a difference in direction.
1477
00:43:42,167 --> 00:43:44,207
I can't see, though,
in the digger, what, where...
1478
00:43:44,207 --> 00:43:44,527
I can't see, though,
in the digger, what, where...
1479
00:43:44,527 --> 00:43:46,567
I know, well, that's why
I'm talking. I know, it's OK.
1480
00:43:46,567 --> 00:43:47,287
I know, well, that's why
I'm talking. I know, it's OK.
1481
00:43:49,487 --> 00:43:51,527
Donna and Paul hit a stumbling block
meeting building rules.
1482

Donna and Paul hit a stumbling block
meeting building rules.
1483
00:43:53,447 --> 00:43:55,487
The structural opening is only 20,
30 mil larger than the plasterboard,
1484
00:43:55,487 --> 00:43:57,527
The structural opening is only 20,
30 mil larger than the plasterboard,
1485
00:43:57,527 --> 00:43:58,727
The structural opening is only 20,
30 mil larger than the plasterboard,
1486
00:43:58,727 --> 00:44:00,847
so that's not a good sign.
1487
00:44:00,847 --> 00:44:02,887
I race Arthur to some
low-hanging fruit.
1488
00:44:02,887 --> 00:44:04,647
I race Arthur to some
low-hanging fruit.
1489
00:44:04,647 --> 00:44:05,687
Get your own bush.
1490
00:44:05,687 --> 00:44:06,727
ARTHUR GIGGLES
1491
00:44:06,727 --> 00:44:08,607
That's my bush.
1492
00:44:08,607 --> 00:44:10,647
And turn our fruity booty
into delicious jelly.
1493
00:44:10,647 --> 00:44:11,647
And turn our fruity booty
into delicious jelly.
1494
00:44:11,647 --> 00:44:13,687
We're going to end up with a whole
lot of lovely jars
1495
00:44:13,687 --> 00:44:13,927
We're going to end up with a whole
lot of lovely jars
1496
00:44:13,927 --> 00:44:15,967
of our own produce.
1497
00:44:15,967 --> 00:44:16,207
of our own produce.
1498
00:44:16,207 --> 00:44:18,047
That looks pretty impressive.
1499
00:44:19,087 --> 00:44:20,567
De-de!
1500
00:44:20,567 --> 00:44:22,607
And there's logistical nightmares
for the fundraising fair.
1501
00:44:22,607 --> 00:44:23,967
And there's logistical nightmares
for the fundraising fair.
1502
00:44:25,007 --> 00:44:26,127
Oui.
1503
00:44:28,687 --> 00:44:29,647
Alors...
1504
00:44:31,767 --> 00:44:33,807
Umbrella.
1505
00:44:33,807 --> 00:44:35,847
But Ithaca keeps smiling.
1506
00:44:35,847 --> 00:44:37,887
I try to talk with a smile.
1507
00:44:37,887 --> 00:44:39,927
If you smile,
then people hear you smiling.
1508
00:44:39,927 --> 00:44:41,247
If you smile,
then people hear you smiling.
