Lovely village. Seems like the day off may have been to celebrate someone’s 22nd birthday?
@@vanessaabernethy3149 she’s a treasure
What did you think of the drive through our village? We do this 6 days a week. But this week we took a day off, do you know why?
Are you guys related?
@@rhondag9700 nope old friends from school, working on a project.
Looks like so many layers of that plaster. What a big job!
I guess that depends on perspective
What do you think of that wall Paper? Do you think we should have taken it down?
I piece of history in that wallpaper. Not something I would want on a whole wall but maybe keep a small section for memories sake? 😂
@@vanessaabernethy3149 why demolish when you can repair parts to retain history?
Line of the episode…. “It’s like icing a cake apparently”…. 😂
You use the word concrete a lot of time. I hope you dont use it. Because natural stones need lime. If you use cement there will be a lot of moisture problems in and outside the house.Baked stones need concrete/ cement.
@@y.lelivelt2619 it’s just the wrong use of language it’s mortar but unfortunately the wall to the garden was cemented which made removal very difficult hence I guess it’s stuck in my head, thx for the comment and thx for watching
Did you buy your ruin at auction ?
@@MarianneInmarsilia no we brought it by private sale in episode 19 we talk about how we purchased the property hope this helps. Thx for watching
A lot of work to be done. Looking forward to watching your progress. Great video. Subscribed for more videos. I live in the U.S.A.
@@Hillbilly007-yd9gu hello to the USA yep it’s a lot of work did you know we removed 15 ton out of that court yard in the demolition stage and that’s only the first floor, thank for your comment and thx for watching.
The drive to work was always enjoyable the countryside is stunning so many vineyards and olive trees.
Did you see how close that car was to the camera hahaha
What do you think of the colour for the shutters? We have to choose from a palate to keep inline with the village colours.
We have so much to do made harder by the fact we had no power, have you taken on such a big project such as this? Do share…
Lessons learned and we appreciate the safety gear have you ever had a close call like this? Do share…
How do you think we are doing please feel free to say hi and let us know what you think of the rebuild?,
Amazing how they manoeuvre those big trucks through such narrow streets.
I’m sure all drivers know how to navigate their vehicles as required 😂
Haha there is always cleaning up to do it’s relentless
That room is really starting to look great now the plaster is off! Not so much clean up this week.
Always something to clean
Super interesting to hear how easy it is for foreigners to buy over there.
Thanks for watching
Didn’t you just clean that room up last week? 😂 So satisfying seeing all those layers of plaster coming off.
Yes it was!
I have analyzed your youtube channel and realized that your videos aren't getting enough exposure. I have also watched some of your video and loved it. I think videos like those should get more views.
@@FreeAcademy-x9o thx I’m not too fussed about views, we just like to see how far we have come from where we started.
@@FreeAcademy-x9o also the channel is not that easy to find as people have indicated to me there are lots of What the France channels thx for your comment and for watching
@@WeboughtahouseinFrance No matter how good the video quality is, the video will not get views because your videos are not SEO optimized.
@@FreeAcademy-x9othx I’ll look into that
@@WeboughtahouseinFrance I reviewed your TH-cam channel and noticed that your videos aren’t optimized, which may be why they’re not getting many views or subscribers. If you’d like to address this issue, I’m here to help
Loved the update tour. Good to see the progress.
Thanks for watching
Interesting to see how these houses are constructed. Thank you for sharing.👌
Our pleasure! Thx for the comments.
That’s a lot of rubble! It keeps on coming. Good to get it out of the house.
Thanks for watching
😂. I guess the French don’t call them French Doors. Opening up into the garden is a game changer!
@@vanessaabernethy3149 no they are just doors, and yes the opening is a game changer thx for watching
Quite something you have taken on - very beautiful - also the climate is great. Winehouse next door. All worth the work. Thank you for sharing! Have been following from day one. 💪❤️👍
@@TheRemcovanreems your absolutely correct great location and a lot of effort the Maison will be stunning once completed, thank you for your comment and thank you for following our adventure. Cheers from the What the France team!
Really interesting thanks!
@@sues3177 thanks for watching cheers
Old enough to remember, in those day's they did not use expiration dates.
@@aaronlopez492 interesting good to know 😄
NA , it's good.
@@michaelmaxim7207 I’m sure it is 😄
Yep. I think maybe expired…
I understand expiry dates are a more recent thing as they didn’t exist in the past
Big changes guys!
Sure is
Great to see the surrounding countryside.
Thanks
Loving the wave at the end guys. 😂. Hi! Roof looks great.
Hey, thanks!
Wow! Good job. I wonder whose idea it was to use concrete and not motar for that wall.
No idea
That bed frame! Great find guys! Loving the beautiful tiles! Especially in the blue room! 😍
We love the very valuable tiles😉
Ohh I wonder what they are! Cool!
Probably related to grape harvest
Girl power! Well done ladies! 👏
They have been machines
Nice work Alan!
Smashing the demo
Smashing the demo
Wow! A hard day of demo.
Jobs to be done
Nice work! How are you going to keep the place warm because I'm guessing the stone gets cold🤔
@@vanessahennessey1875 as it will be our holiday home we will be installing air conditioning to keep it cool in the summer months. Therefore no heating required.
@@WeboughtahouseinFrance that makes sense. Will you rent it out in the winter months?
@@vanessahennessey1875 no that is not the plan for now.
Would be great to learn what they are. Something medical perhaps?
Not sure about that I’m afraid
Do you need more hands on deck, Rob? Interesting project.
@@dawiddevilliers9840 for sure be great to have you onboard
Hi very nice ,hi from ARDECHE-FR 💯👍✍👀
Thanks for watching and making a comment hello back 😊
@@WeboughtahouseinFrance -Avec grand plaisir👍
That plaster removal job looks hard work! Well done girls.
It was! Thank you
Some amazing features you have there
Thank you, it's certainly a beautiful house.
Love the patterned tiles in the entrance way and the room with the bed in it.
We love them too… Thanks for watching.
C’est merveilleux, c’est maison sont très belles ! Vous êtes des britanniques qui se sont installés en France ?
No we are from New Zealand and your right it will be a very beautiful house once finished, thank you for watching.
Love the colour of the shutters! Good choice.
Yep one of our favourites
You should use the digger. It’s way easier 😂
@@unsie55 haha so true if it would only start lol
Love seeing that beautiful stone exposed.
She’s a big job pointing it all back.
