    Yay! So much progress finally. My word that cut off spiral staircase below the floor is so strange. So many surprises.

    Thanks for the chuckle - loved Patrick’s face when he was bopping to the pounding club music. Red Bull fueled work for the win!
    Good work on the garden! Hard cutting back will help reveal all the hidden treasures. You may have to choose between the rose or grapevine as if the grapevine is anything like we have, it could engulf your entire garden.

    Hi it really is coming along, I have to say I fell in love with your Garden first time I seen it, as even with all the flowers fighting for there place you could see how with love this Garden was going to shine. I did hear something on another channel about roses and grapevines so i had to go look, and yes they used to plant a rose bush at the sight of vines as any fungus, flies mould or rot would alert the vine growers of a problem as it attacked the roses first, so there you go fun fact. Hope to see you back soon, hugs Dede xxxxx

      Thanks for your kind words, but we can't take credit for this electrical and wall hanging work! It was not a DIY project - we hired contractors to do it. But now that they've done the major work that we weren't qualified for, our DIY can begin. 🙂

    You aren't in France unless you've been to Brico at least once. Home Depot with an accent. Lol.
    I have to say that eating with that view of architecture makes even a sandwich seem exotic. Interesting wine decanter at the restaurant. I wouldn't mind one of those.

    You're within biking distance of Chenonceau. You might try that direction sometime. And the road from Chenonceau to Montrichard is really lovely as well.

    Do your neighbors look down onto your back garden? All the rectangular windows high above.

      No, the glass is opaque on that side of their building.

    0:08 Ha! Yes, nothing quite like the serene oasis of living in a construction site.
    How exciting to see things really get moving though. I did something similar and the "serenity" phase lasted about 4 years. But now that it's all done it really is a delight to live in this place.

    Hi I always look forward to seeing what you're up to. It's probably too late now for this suggestion, but maybe for some other time you do up a small space as a bathroom. You could have considered a sanibroyeur, which allows you to plumb a toilet down a small drain and build in a toilet in places which otherwise would not have been suitable. If you're curious, have a look the next time you're in Castorama or Leroy Merlin.

      We just really aren't interested in the macerating toilets. Luckily we got this one worked out. Thanks for watching! 😊

    Sometime when you're in TX and looking for content, it would be interesting to know how you chose Amboise. I think you worked with Adrian, but did you consider any other locations? Great that you're making progress!

    I may be wrong, but oasis wasn't the first word that came to mind, nor was serene. Hey ho! There is time to achieve both...eventually. At least you'll have clean clothes while you wait.
    I've never understood why there is no exit from the back yard. It seems massively inconvenient, as well as a bit dangerous. If the house, God forbid, had a fire you'd be really stuck.

      It is called Kinewall and it's from a UK company called Kinedo. We ordered it through their website:
