    This week, we dive back into renovating our French farmhouse, focusing on getting the kitchen floor to the next stage. After prepping the beams last week, it’s time to insulate. Installing the thermal foil and insulation was a challenging, dusty task, but the results were worth it. At the same time, we had to figure out how to transport 2 tons of pellets to the house, making sure we're prepared for the winter ahead, even though we're hoping for some better weather soon!
    Once the insulation was in, we could finally start reinstalling the wooden floor we removed earlier. Of course, it wasn't as easy as it sounded, but Bram worked his magic and did an incredible job. While the renovation pace is picking up, we still take time to relax, enjoying the breathtaking sunsets that remind us why we moved to the French countryside in the first place.
    But that’s not all. Since we got back, I’ve been itching to check something out-we’ve got a permit for a swimming pool! The challenge? Digging through rocky ground. We started testing the area, but as expected, hit a lot of rocks. This pool project might be trickier than we thought, but we’re always up for a challenge!

    Saludos desde Chiapas, México. Old queer here. I really appreciate how you fellas are so careful with all your endeavours, even by numbering and reusing the old floorboards. It looks so much better and authentic. Oh and Nox is such a beautiful baby. Felicidades y bendiciones! Un gran abrazo.

    It is so lovely to see the progress on the kitchen, I can’t wait to see how the finished floors come out.Bram has such a big smile when he’s in his element doing electrical work. Little Nox is such a little sweetheart. Lastly, I’m happy to see you are getting sponsorships now as they will really help offset some of your expenses. Great work guys, you’re my favorite channel.

    Nox is such a cutie pie! I put in a pool after I sold my lake house and bought a Queen Anne. It was the center piece of the garden,had a waterfall. Here in Texas we could sometimes use it in winter. They are lots of maintenance,and expense. Lot's of fun though!😊

    Nox is growing quickly and she is lovely. No doubt the two of you are tired (all new parents are) but there is a noticeable joy on your faces these days. I'm pretty sure most of that is because of Nox - both the joy of having her in your lives, and the stresses of traveling back and forth, legalities and paperwork, etc. are now all behind you. I'm so happy for you all!

    My God, I feel exhausted watching how hard you work! I never knew Southern France had so much rainfall, for some reason I always thought that it was a dryer region of France. Wishing you well for the next week on all the jobs you are going to do.

      Haha thanks so much. It’s not normal at all to have so much rain. Not in the spring nor in the fall. But this year is different from all other years. Hopefully next year it’s back to normal again. Have a great weekend. Take care.

    About the swimming pool: create a 50m Olympic pool and invite swimmers/triathletes for training camps! Your area is great for cycling so a large pool will be a fantastic combination! (no I'm not going to do the digging or maintenance :D )

Hopelijk worden de nachten dadelijk beter😮

    DEFINITELY go smaller with the pool. We installed a pool 2 years ago and we were surprised at the cost of the chemicals. Our water is beautiful but we are spending $600-700 a year on chemicals for a smallish pool. A large pool would be even more. Our pool is heated with an automatic cover. We love it but there is a lot of maintenance.

    • @vangaze
      @vangaze  Час назад

      Thanks so much. Yeah that’s what we thought! It’s for the rentals so it has to be a bit bigger than we would do for ourselves but it has to be manageable. Take care!

    Before u both say that u r both cute too, Nox is soooooo cute now! Perhaps not at 04.30 when she hasnt slept at that point but u kno what i mean!
    Love the floor - you ahve made such an impressive job of that. I presume you will sand it down and polish it like in Nox’s room?
    I think the swimming pool idea is great! Heating it - ummm not sure about that but go big! You have lots of space. Can u hire a JCB for a week which will make it easier or does JCB not exist in France?
    Have a great week and see you soon!

      Haha she is very cute and doing very well! The floor will be the same as everywhere in the house. Can’t wait:)
      Haha I think they do. We first going to try with what we have but that would be an option.
      Have a lovely weekend! Take care.

    Bram Simon tja het is toch echt een enorme klus ziende de vebouwing restauratie van het huis. Maar wat een schatje jullie Nox en hoe lief als ouders zijn hoe jullie zo prachtig met jullie kind er mee omgaan ,echt geweldig. Ja het zwembad dat is ook een enorme klus en ik vraag me af of jullie het dan in koudere peroides soms verwarmen met zonnepanelen en denk eraan dat de groei van algen snel kan gaan in warme perioden maar met het gebruik van een luchtpomp en wat doorstroming zal dit minder snel gebeuren . Ik vond het weer een mooie vlog om jullie en Nox te zien ook jullie honden een fijn weekend wens ik jullie toe kijkend naar de volgende vlog💋👍👍👍
