- Hello! Ok, I must admit, I was a bit discouraged with my old Greek house renovation project and feeling somewhat upside down until I rummaged through old photos and remembered just how far I have come. I suppose it is my nature to do very well in a crisis but then to lose my courage after the worst is over. But alas, the worst is over and this week I want to share with you the amazing progress that has been made as well as talk about summer plans. I really hope you enjoy seeing my progress and please let me know what you think!
Have a great week.

I love your channel and content! You’re an incredibly interesting woman and I just love hearing and seeing everything you’re doing.
Thank you so much!!
I watch you regularly and another lady from Danu's Irish Herb Garden. You both inspire me love for life. I'm at your age but have half of your courage...
Thank you for being part of my TH-cam community! I will definitely talk about courage in my next Livestream since this seems to be something that many people feel they struggle with.
It is such a joy to watch the progress of the house and the cookies look so delicious! I am in awe of all you do and have done. I do hope to move to Greece at some point in the next 10 years. Until then, I will continue to follow you and anxiously await new videos!
Thanks so much!
I don't want to ask a question. Only thing i want to say is that you are a legend.
If the average Greek was like you, Greece would be like Switzerland now.
Greece is so much better than Switzerland. It just takes a bit more patience to get things done!
Hi Marcie! I’m loving the house!!! It will be beautiful! You have real vision! And are such a hard worker. I loved the cookie payment equation!!! That’s a lot of cookies !!❤ 😂
Thanks so much for watching!
This is one the few channels I subscribe to. I look forward to the progress made each episode on your house. As an electrician, I find the construction methods used in Greece to be very interesting, vastly different from house building here in the US.
I imagine you have pretty thick skin, Marco seems pretty salty but he is obviously an accomplished builder. Was it hard to get him on board with your vision?
I’d say I’m quite stoic! Markos has recently become much less “salty” now that he sees how the house is emerging. Thanks for watching!
Watching you bag the cookies is as relaxing as painting slats 😂❤
Too funny!
I speak english. I have a degree, but not much experience or skills. Would they want me in Greece? What could I do or how would I make a living? I'm actually full of questions about leaving the US and moving somewhere else. I don't enjoy the commercialization of everything, the fast pace of everything and lack of quality and pride in people's work. Healthcare options aren't that great in my area. I rarely get to see the doctor when I'm actually sick. Constantly have to use urgent care facilities. I love art, culture and historical traditions and I see that lacking and going away in the USA. I always say things are literally crumbling in the US and it's not a pretty sight.
I know what you mean, it has been shocking to see how my birthplace has changed so much in the 40 years since I left. Greece is one of the most difficult countries to obtain residency permits. I would suggest looking into volunteering through the woof.org or helpx.net platforms to pickup skills and experience a different culture. Good luck and thanks for watching.
During which months do you sell the most cookies? They are delicious!
I’m glad you like them. My business is best during the summer.
wow there's lots of progression with your old/new house! Well done you are an inspiration. I was originally inspired by your oak business because I garden organically and most of what I grow is edible so when I found your early videos about all you do with oak my mind was blown! I come and go to Greece every year I love it and have often thought I would like to live there, but to be honest the summer heat in July & August is too much for me now so I tend to visit in April, May sometimes June, September & the end of October into November. In extreme heat how do you stay cool and manage your business and the building of the house? Do you run all aspects of your business yourself or do you employ others to help? With two properties will you be renting out any in the foreseeable future?
Yes, Greece is far too hot from June-August. I'll save answers to the other questions for my Livestream coming soon. Thanks for your thought and thanks for watching!
How did you handle the language challenge when dealing with professional matters there? I'm Greek-American and thinking of retiring there and its a challenge to understand the tax and legal terminology there. Many of them dont have the patience to explain everything in English or maybe the ability. I am thinking of hiring a translator or just seeking out offices that offer services in English to make it less stressful
You can find people here in Greece to support you. My Greek is fluent but tax stuff is intimidating.
Just wondering are you going to keep both houses when the new one is done?
The house I live in on Kea is not mine.
