    I think people often forget that when you’re following a person who is sharing a decent portion of their life, you’re not entitled to know everything about them, nor do you need to to enjoy their content. Like after seeing last video that you two bought a house together, I was curious too and thought maybe I missed a life update, but once I realized there was nothing shared about it, I just shrugged and said well that’s none of my business. If it’s two friends buying a house together, that’s great. If it’s more than that, also great. The house content is the same either way lol

    So sorry about the homophobic and nit picky comments. Your relationships are your business and we are lucky to even have you share so much of your life with us. Thank you for another fantastic video ❤

    Being next to a lake and a forest, an affordable quaint older home with a brick exterior, adequate outdoor space…..I see why you said yes to that property. It makes me want to move to Germany myself. It’s beautiful there! Watching you go through the former owner’s lifetime of treasures is both sad and exciting. There is so much! It’s like taking a walk through the past. Very cool.

    I knew from the first time you and Ellie met there was a special friendship connection. You just know when things feel right. Im so happy for you both to be embarking on such a wonderful endeavor. God Bless and looking forward to more house renovation videos. it's going to be beautiful.

    Hi Maddie! I am so excited for you and Ellie!! You are absolutely 100% correct. You don't need to share every aspect of your personal life. All I see is two wonderful friends that are embarking on an amazing journey in a beautiful country! This is going to be so epic for you both. Renovating such an amazing home that is so rich in history and the landscaping around you is a dream. The lake, and the forest are Heaven! I can't wait to see what is yet to come with the renovation!! Stay true to yourselves and protect your hearts. You have true friends here and so many of us care so much about the three of you. Enjoy every minute of this journey! Sending big hugs to you and Ellie and tons of love to Eliza!❤

    Hi Maddie, I was one of the people who commented about checking for asbestos. I'm sorry if it seemed condescending; it certainly wasn't meant to. I am very glad to hear you were/are going into this project with eyes open and especially that you have such solid support from Eli's family. I can't wait to see what you do with the place!

    • @heavenlyvilla8681
      @heavenlyvilla8681 16 дней назад +7

      You weren't being condescending, only careful. Maddie doesnt explain everything to us, so we can only go on what we are being told in her videos (which is entirely her choice and I respect that). As a builder you had concerns and shared them. As the niece of someone who died from asbestos related cancer, we had no idea it was an issue until my uncle got cancer and learned how he got it. We watch her videos and only come from a place of caring.

    That "Blacksmith Tool" that you were holding in your right hand at about the 7:30 mark in the video, is a tool used for pulling out nails, so you might find in comes in use during your renovations. They are called "Pincers" and although I am only a DIYer I have a few pairs exactly the same as the ones you were holding and I've used them several times on reno's around my house..

    It's so fun to follow your continued renovation, since people have the energy to care about details, you're the ones who are going to live there and make it your home, as long as you're happy it's good. It will be exciting to see the house finished in a few, many episodes

    Thanks for continuing to take us all along for your new journey. Admittedly I started following your van life because I loved the way you experience and respect for being in nature, and for some of the adventures you went on in the past couple of years. I have learned so much about the flora watching your videos, and I love your art. Obviously people making negative comments and "concerns" about your renovation have NOT watched your videos over time. If so, they'd have seen the smart, creative, and beautiful woman that you are. Keep going for what YOU want...and kudos for sharing it all with us. We're here for you. Namaste, Haila

    Hi Maddie and Ellie, Congratulations on your new home! This is so exciting! It's so fun looking at the work you did each day at the end of the day.
    I highly recommend a shop vac! You'll use it forever. No more stirring up dust and mold. Great for Spiders too. I have never seen anyone save a spider. Good for you!
    Ok, maybe I have saved a spider but mostly I save Bees. I've saved a Duck and a bat before also.

    The tools you held up are for shoeing a horse. They allow you to pull out the nails. Keep the tools around, you never know when you will that unique tool. I use my grandfathers one llike in your left hand to pull nails on drywall. It worked perfectly and did not mar the drywall board.

    How exciting to be living in another country. I love Germany. I went there almost 30 years ago I loved it. You will be getting the hang of the language in no time. I really got a kick out of watching you clean out the tool shed. My grandpa was born in the U.S. to 2 emigrant parents from Germany. His wood workshop reminded me of your tool shed. He reused everything, saved everything, repurposed everything. It was fun seeing those little treasures that you found. I am looking forward to seeing what you two do with your renovations.

    Drawers without homes are not necessarily trash per say. In a workshop drawers can be hung on the wall to use as a cool box shelf. Or perhaps in another building in the future. I would keep all the wood around during a major renovation. Maybe a garden bed or you might need to build a quick form for a concrete step in front of an out building.
    This is so fun to watch!

You did a great job with the Van build in your RAM Promaster and I know you'll be able to do a really great job with everything that You and Ellie want to do about remodeling the house! Save all of the screws, nails,nuts and bolts, and all other types of hardware that You find while cleaning out the tool shed, because You might need something on a weekend or holiday when businesses are closed. Best wishes to You, Ellie, and Liza.

    Those first aerial shots and the bridge talk shot ...perfect. Great job setting up and filming so many shot while working. Hard enough just setting up and filming so many shots . Sorry you lost a bunch of footage . When I was a kid , that's how us kids would make money going around and finding glass soda bottles . 5 cents each for a small soda bottle and 10 cents for the 32 oz. Bottles . Very little plastic back then . Glad to see you wanting to hold onto someone else's years of memories. Hats off to y'all for doing that.
