We Love Our Renovation Project! French Farmhouse.

We are renovating an old French Farmhouse in the south of the Dordogne. First we do a full house renovation. Two houses actually. Because we are splitting the old farm into two houses. And after that we will focus on the barn. This whole French house renovation thing started a year ago when we found our lovely place. Now we are in a race against time because in a couple of months we will become fathers and everything will be different. We can’t wait for that to happen but in the meantime we do see all the work that is still in front of us. The farmhouse vlog is us sharing this process and showing all the tings we face while renovating this house so it will become the place we call home. Our daughter’s room is almost ready and our bathroom is getting shape too. This week is dusty, we work in our vegetable garden, we fix the mower of the mini tractor, we clean, we mow and much more. We do make mistakes but we try to laugh about it and try again. In the end we always manage to get things done. Two gay guys that are renovating a farmhouse and becoming fathers. Our renovation vlog has it all. Oh and if you think there are no leaks this week, than go and watch the vlog, there will be…. Bram does an amazing job in our little office. So beside our bedroom, our daughters bathroom and the bathroom, the office is also becoming very pretty. Thanks for all the kind messages, it helps us a lot.

  • Hello from Illinois, USA! I started following your vlog 2 months ago and have watched all the previous episodes. You are both such hard working young men with lots of skills. It is wonderful to hear you say "our daughter " and not just the baby, you are going to be really great fathers. I love to watch Archie and Luna. What breed of dog are they? I am an 80 year old woman, I live in a small town, my house is 104 yrs old. I wish I had the energy and skills you both have to fix the things that need fixing. I look forward to each new vlog and seeing your home coming together. Your love and respect for each other is very evident. Blessings to you and Simon's parents.🤗❤

  • My grandfather called it “hilling” the potatoes. I think to keep new potatoes under the ground so they grow properly, and protect s them from sunshine. I am addicted to your vlog. It’s so heartwarming. I am an old gay guy who grew up in the bad days and I am enchanted as you live your authentic selves. Edmonton, Canada

  • "What are you doing on MY tractor?" I snorted Diet Coke out my nose, so thanks for that. As the owner of an old house myself, I appreciate Brakes skills with the sander! It really warms my heart to see Archie and Luna bounding through the tall grass. You two are always positive and cheerful, and that just makes my day. Here in the US, our walls are typically sheetrock, or if it's an old house like mine, plaster and lath. Yours seem to be concrete, both in France and the Aunt's home in the Netherlands. Is that the norm? That certainly makes plumbing and wiring a lot more difficult and time consuming, but makes it a far more durable structure. No wonder you have buildings that are centuries old; you build Stonehenge with a roof! Big love from Big D (Dallas, Texas, USA)!

    • Sorry, not to butt in, a couple of months ago early in KZhead's transition to AI moderation I had a couple of pages that the same happened to me. I started opening YT in two different tabs and commented on videos in one and then reported the issue in the other. There is an option to screenshot other tabs in the process and that is why you open two. I have recieved no response from google nor youtube but in each case the problem was fixed in a couple of days. I hope that helps. 🤞

  • ❤Hoi Simon en Bram, ik ben geboren op 19 mei 1947, toen ik 14 jaar was had mijn geliefde vader net even buiten de stad Groningen een lapje grond gehuurd en legde daar een moestuin aan. Na veel ploeg en spitwerk ontstonden er mooie lange akkers. Daar werd veel verbouwd: sla, boontjes, bloemkool, spitskool, tuinbonen, boerenkool, prei, uien, wortelen, prei, andijvie, augurken, komkommer en...uiteraard de aardappelen! Mijn vader maakte met een pootstok een gat in de grond en ik mocht ďe moederaardappel in het gat leggen. Als de rijen klaar waren werd er grond over heen geharkt. Elke rij werd gemarkeerd met een stok. Geen opgehoogde rijen dus. Dat deden de grote boeren later met de landbouwmachines. Als het loof maanden later was afgestoren ging vader met een greep (4 tanden) de aardappelen opgraven. Weet je wat hij dan zei? Kijk Jopie 1 gepoot en soms wel tien terug! Goud uit de aarde! En was hij zo trots! Mijn vader is er al lang niet meer maar dit vergeet ik nooit! Het waren de lekkerste aardappelen ter wereld! Met jullie aardappelen komt het ook vast goed! ❤ Love the flog en de week duurt haast te lang voordat jullie er weer zijn! Succes met alles en geniet van elkaar en het leven Frankrijk 🤗👋

  • Hello, I recently discover your channel, this is so nice. Je continue en Français puisque vous devez apprendre la langue locale. C’est vraiment très chouette de découvrir l’alchimie entre vous et le partage des taches entre l’extérieur et l’intérieur. Cela me fait penser un peu à mon expérience en couple gay également depuis 25 ans même si mon mari est plus à l’intérieur et est beaucoup moins bricoleur que vous deux. Vivre dans votre van vous permet de loger sur place sans être dans la poussière pour les repas et pour dormir.❤❤❤ C’est une fameuse organisation car chacun de vous semble interrompre ses tâches pour aller filmer ce que l’autre fait alors que vous travaillez - a priori - sur des taches complément différentes. Bon courage pour la suite.

  • 4:08 that is very cute. You want to want to have large mounds. Imagine a plant on a mound the size of a sack of potatoes. Then in fall when the plant lays down the potatoes are easy to harvest because they aren't underground. Also a potato will not grow well in wet soil so water will run off of a mount. Another problem with potatoes sometimes is a fungus that can live in the soil and you may have to remove the soil to completely stop the fungus from returning. If that happens you will need to scoop up the mounds and treat the ground before building new mounds.

  • Always so impressive and inspiring! You guys are amazing and I love watching your home creation!! My humble kind suggestion would be to consider eating more proteins, vegetables and fruits in place of breads. To be strong for your renovation and for your daughter - for all of her young life, remember every single thing you eat and drink becomes every single cell and fiber of your being. If you put quality high nutrient dense foods in, you will have strong bodies for yourselves and more importantly for your daughter. If on the other hand, you put poor quality low nutrient dense foods in your system, the body will decline faster as your body's ability to repair, renew and heal will decrease significantly!! Many hugs!! 🙌🙆🏻‍♂🌟

    • Haha yeah they are supposed to be further apart but we didn’t have more space and wanted them in so we will see if it works! Thanks!

  • You really are making good progress on the renovation. Simon, are all those plants in the garden potato plants? If so, you can set up a vegetable stand and sell potatoes by the road. You'll be inundated with potatoes!! Good job fencing the fruit trees . I love to see the dogs frolicking around in the fields. Love watching Luna prancing like a deer. Surprised that Archie doesn't do that. And .......ah..... the faithful bagette. Have a great week!!

    • Thanks so much! Haha yeah we've got a lot of potatoes but it's easy to store them for a pretty long time so I hope we can use them all ourselves! Haha Archie does it just now and then. Luna jumps all day long haha. Have a great weekend!

  • Another technique is to plant the potatoes in a trench, then cover with the soil. Don't forget to fertilize your potatoes, it's not too late. Yours look about as high as mine do that I forgot in the ground from last year.

  • You can stack car tires on top of each other as the tatters grow and fill the tire with soil. You can get maybe 6 feet of tatters.

I'm glad you didn't put off painting the tractor. Rust is the worst. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Take care. Can't wait until your next one.🥂🍾 Bye-bye ❤❤❤

It's wonderful that you seem not to get discouraged when things go wrong or mistakes are made. This approach will also be helpful when you are raising your daughter, I'm sure! Best of luck to you.

  • I hope that if I know something that would probably help you both, you wouldn’t mind me mentioning it. Carbonic acid shampoo and separate conditioner. I wouldn’t mention this if I didn’t use it myself. Use them both every time you wash your hair. The results are amazing. I am one year in and I will never use anything else. If you’re not familiar with this product, Google away. Let me know at three months in, what you think. Bro to bros.
