Oh I must remember that maneuver … provide your neighbor with a bottle of wine if you’re making noise. GENIUS!

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Haha always à good move

[@katharinedavis4947]

I think Laurent is great, and you seem to have so much fun together. You are such a girl about spiders ! Yet you are so strong and sensible most of the time with all your decorating, moving furniture, gardening and so on . Your aerial work, I think some of that would be quite high up ? Can't wait to see the finished kitchen. Love Kay

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

He is very great :) and it's a strange thing about the spiders - I'm not really shared of anything else and in my logical brain I know they can't Hurt me, but then I see one and panic

[@katharinedavis4947]

@@EscapetoEverdeen Should you see a doctor about your phobia ? It is a bit of a handicap. Love Kay

[@moniquegin8444]

Glad you finally have a hunky guy to help you

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Thanks, me too! :)

[@WendyVanamburgh]

I'm really enjoying your vlogs. Hope you don't mind, but I recommended you to a group vlog. Hope it helps you to gain more subscribers.

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Thanks so much, that's very kind of you! And I'm really glad you are enjoying the channel :)

[@jayantiiamonico6966]

Nice transformations in the works! The kitchen is the heart of the home! BravO!!

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Thanks!

[@Beth01111]

Laurent is using the window. I’m so happy about this development.

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

So was I until my light got squished hahaha

[@gailcullinan]

Wow, what a difficult and dirty job. Laurent is absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to seeing the next video of the kitchen restoration. You took on a mammoth task which is coming together ... well done

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

He is pretty fantastic :) yeah, it's all slowly coming together and it's fun to work on it all

[@MrNathansdad]

Your boyfriend is a gas! Love him 😂😂😂

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Haha thanks you, me too ;)

[@peterholmesgavleman]

What does the boyfriend do for a living? He adds so much professionalism & practicality to everything that is being done. He’s also not afraid of spiders!

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

He is a professional Opera singer (but also à Master spider remover lol)

[@VintageLPs]

Loved watching the two of you building and destroying. Laurent needs his own channel remodeling in Paris! Remember, when you suck those spiders in, they can crawl back out so wrap plastic around the end of the hose and put a rubber band around it. Works for me every time I suck one up. 🤣

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Oh god..... 😳

[@harrellelel973]

I'm just catching up on all the videos, because of vacation. I honestly can't wait til you're done and we can book workshops and retreats. I have to tell my friend so we can coordinate and come visit. You guys are doing great! 🙂

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Thanks! I can't wait either, hopefully next year!

[@WildatHeart123]

Laurent is such a goofy guy, he is so funny.

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Haha he is!

[@murialpack5350]

I agree with you Cara, it’s just not right to be so cheerful in the morning! And then he spoke the “S” word when you were removing the fake tile! 😮 Lucky for him, he’s cute enough that we can overlook his unruly behavior! 😃😁😆🤣😂 Very fun video and I can’t wait to see your new kitchen come together! 😁

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Hahaha yeah I did miss out à bleep in there, but he was having a stressful day lol

[@murialpack5350]

I meant the “S” word spider! 😬 😂😂😂

[@bobolpatrick3789]

Bonsoir, il est toujours utile d'avoir un petit ami bricoleur

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Oui super utile :)

[@patriciaverbeeck8263]

Whwn you do projects with lots of parts, lay out a solid color sheet of plastic or tarp, have small bowls or containers to put nults, bolts, etc, in to separate them out. In a room like that kitchen, remove absolutely everything that you don't need to do the job itself. Have some kind of bin. bag or large box for debris. These tips help prevent lost parts and make a room project seem more organized.

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Wow that sounds very organized!

[@ce1581]

You guys are so funny together ❤

Considerable progress and lots of playfulness. Good to see you tackling the tiles.

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Thanks! It's coming along :)

[@vanessaroberts1414]

You could make cupboards there like a pantry dishes would look great

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

We ordered some cupboard for that space :) but will be a countertop on top because we want to maximise work space

[@murialpack5350]

The “S” word is spider 😂

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Hahahahha love it

[@MrChristiangraham]

Great progress. Well done, both of you. Your BF has a real talent for this. I find a pair of work gloves makes the whole process less icky!

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

He's so talented! I'm very impressed with all his knowledge. And I definitely agree about the globes!

Spiders love old houses,no Matter what u do

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Ain't it the truth 🤦‍♀️

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

My husband said he would also need to eat the donuts to hold the screws and he is 74 things never change. My son was like you on spiders one day he came across a women on the side of the road,who had jumped out of her car and could not get back in because of a huntsman, he hunted for it and got it out, he still does not like spiders but now can get rid of them himself. Good luck on the kitchen

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Wow! Good for him! maybe I need to go looking for opportunités to be a good samaratan like that

[@katharinedavis4947]

I thought the spider phobia had a sexual element, ie one feels sexually threatened by them . Snakes are a bit like that too . K

[@micheledenise2305]

Those sinks are expensive keep it for a garden sink or bsthroom?? But don't destroy it sell it if nothing else 😊

[@ce1581]

Look up Camel Crickets 😂 we had them in our old house they jump five ft high and are waaaay uglier than spiders 😅. See, silver lining , you are lucky 🥰

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Oh noooooooooooo 😮

[@ce1581]

@@EscapetoEverdeen ha ha after a minute you get used to them but spray foam around every pipe kept them out 🥰. Have a great day ❣️

[@barbarakloise6790]

"Drugs involved" when you daid yhat I burst out laughing! Yeah that kitchen is a wreck. The previous people weren't very worried about inconvenience, looks, and ethstetics were they? But you guys are getting it squared away!

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Haha well it's slowly getting there

[@dorothylavell3038]

House from the 70's there may have been drugs involved 😂😂😂when I was growing up in the 70's I used to play with the girl next door. I remember my mum used to say that they smoked funny cigarettes. Never understood what that meant at the time😊

[@EscapetoEverdeen]

Hahaha did they make some really questionable design choices?

[@dorothylavell3038]

@EscapetoEverdeen I think some homes in the 70s had questionable design and colour choices😂😂😊 I grew up in Australia, in Canberra. I remember watching the Partridge family and the Brady Bunch thinking that they had beautiful homes.

[@katharinedavis4947]

70s decor could be awful. I saw somd weird ones when moving house in 1980 . One room orange , one bright purple etc, etc.

[@littlecupcakespuppies]

what in the world is that machine you have there!!!

It's basicallly a handheld jackhammer...It's called the Titan lol. It's Laurent's but I got to play with it
