      In the UK, most wood burning stoves are provided with a carbon monoxide alarm - I believe the install can't be signed off without one. So hopefully there is a functioning alarm :)

      Darling hate to say it but most people in Europe and N. America (which is who this channel is aimed at) are pretty ignorant about the wider world, they think people down there all live in mud huts unfortunately. Be thankful though, if they knew how nice it was there you would get flooded with them and the locals would get priced out of the market so let them continue in their ignorance...

    I love love LOVE seeing the sort of sacrifices people make in expensive cities to get the space they need. Obviously I don't love that it happens but I just find it so fascinating to see how people get round high rent or small spaces since it's a sacrifice I made myself; ugly building in exchange for a (small) second bedroom. But I'm working on making my space beautiful.

      @manestreambeauty 5 лет назад +1

      +Refinery29 Sweet Digs is a content series that creates an experience for the audience. The 360 VR approach shoehorned an experience into an existing content format, instead of developing content designed specifically for the 360 VR experience. How do you do that? 🎤 "I can teach you, but I have to charge."

    I used to live on a boat, a square top schooner. It had a a head piece and everything and been used to smuggle stuff as had so many hide away holes they believed. I loved the freedom and how amazing it felt, but a lot of money just to upkeep a boat and don't think I could live on a narrow boat as just doesn't have the character that an older boat has. Though, this narrowboat I think has been done beautifully
