Day 6: The ceiling is up, the dump is visited and pizza was eaten! Reviving the French country house

[@kevinnye5132]

Good going Ralf , don’t be so critical of yourself because for a one man band your doing great, ceiling’s are hard enough with 2 people let alone one. Fingers crossed 🤞 you get it rented asap and get some cash coming back in and not going out 👌🏻, enjoying it a lot.

[@cherylmcnair5594]

Thank you, I am enjoying your progress. You made short work of throwing those branches into the skip and repairing the ceiling. Have a lovely evening 😊

[@isabellevince5174]

What a great series! Loving the daily videos. So interesting. I don't know how you maintain this level of activity, day after day. Totally impressive!

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

I have been following you on KZbin, pehaps from the beginning. I enjoy the views from the Italian house, but I must say, the lush green grounds embracing you in France make me hope that you will one day move back there and rent out the other one. So often, I admire your partner for all her love and work with the children and supporting you, both always. You are an exceptional man and so lucky to have your family, too. Please, always make them the priority.

[@NotUselessYet]

I really do!

[@patriciafay-magiera1304]

Perfect! God bless you all! Patricia@@NotUselessYet

Your vids are never boring.

[@lindahunter7322]

Such an enjoyable series long every minute

[@SindyBoyle]

You fit a lot of living and work into one day. I'm enjoying this series very much and like you I also like both houses, but I'm all for the French house at the moment and mainly because of the wonderful garden.

Congratulations on a productive and happy day!

Incredible what you have accomplished - Well Done!

[@maxinepearce4909]

Great vlog, enjoying it from a cold windy Australia.

[@donna4137]

I'm out of breath watching you😮!!!! Don't know how you do it.....determination!!! Keep up the great work

[@isabellevince5174]

When you were throwing the branches into the skip I was reminded of Mary Poppins and her carpet bag. Those branches just kept on coming ...

[@CherrylThorneq-qk6ou]

Another great video you have done a lot around the home and yard . I hope it cools down there for you all . Yes I am enjoying watching the progress being done on the home .

[@mollygordongeorge]

Ah, nothing like an Italian pizza to make you appreciate Italian pizzas! Glad you are enjoying yourself and moving along with your projects. Take a little time off for yourself! 😄

[@LindaNichols-wf4lq]

When someone mentions ceiling not being high enough remind them they have heat the same area.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Nice progress on the ceiling today well done 👏

[@Hide_and_silk]

Enjoying catching up with your hard work over the week. There was a very good bar / restaurant (L'ensemble) in the village. We ate there a few times but sadly it closed about a year or so ago. The restaurant in the next village (our village), St Pantaly d'Ans, is outstanding...and Maria is Austrian.

[@NotUselessYet]

Good to know!

[@DBurgg]

Definitely enjoying the daily vlogs....we are spoiled now and will miss them. It's amazing how you perservere in the heat.🍺🍺🍺

[@miajoyce11]

Amazing progress. Good luck.

[@magpie5710]

Well, you sure as hell aren't useless yet! You've really had a week. No complaints about a sore back or neck. Love the series always good to see you. I understand the difference between what France has for you right now with a lot of work but that Italy has a bit better lifestyle and fun for the whole family at this stage. The people renting will love that beautiful village I'm sure.

[@marilynwade9448]

I'm learning how to do bigger jobs by myself. Thank you. 😊

[@sallymoffit3751]

Terrific progress

[@eleanormatthews2224]

The camera angle makes it look as though the ceiling is low. Often it appears that your head is inches away from the ceiling.

[@marilynwade9448]

That turned out great

[@liberatedlifetime3584]

Fantastic progress!!

[@suehall3298]

Another step forward 🤗👍see tomorrow ☕🍰🍻 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@richardtaylor7199]

Great job

[@TheBluebellMoon2]

Looks sooooi pretty. ☀️Well done - you are super organised. 👏

[@janicek6399]

Pizza must be a world wide food😁 Good luck with getting the perfect renter!

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Always interesting video. Hard work👏👏👏👏

[@linajackson4545]

Would it be viable to hire a wood chipper rather than taking everything to the déchetterie? Saving the environment, conserving water on the land, weed suppression or gifting the mulch to the neighbours.

[@NotUselessYet]

I think they chipper at the dechetterie,

[@ManMartin]

Good job😊

[@nancylefebvre2266]

Because you’re tall! 😆

[@jeanhawken4482]

Super job. Putting up plaster board is a stinking job. It has ways of slipping out of your hands.

[@margarethughes3763]

Weeks going too quickly. Lot of work. Good night. Its been hot in UK today but cooler now. Its rained mainly and wind this summer. Good night.

[@jorusnak1998]

As always it great to see and spend time with you on your journeys.

[@prodigalretrod]

Amazing progress. I'm amazed at your energy, I'm sure this would take me 10x as long to accomplish.

[@sadjaxx]

One more week and a tip card and you would have it done and dusted!

[@TimFenton-dx4xe]

All be equal, France or Italy what's your choice and why, great progress 🎉🎉🎉

[@NotUselessYet]

Well, there is no clear winner; France wins on garden, infrastructure, and privacy, Italy on food, community and closeness to the sea. But the real deal changer is that Tuscany is a 4 1/2 hour drive and Dordogne is 12 ish…

So, you're originally from England - English. Have a place in Italy - Italian. Have what I believe is an Austrian partner - German. And you have a place in France - French. Do speak any other languages? How many languages do your children speak?

[@NotUselessYet]

No, just English French German and a bit of Italian. The kids are bilingual English German.

Heads up; it's hotter in Italy. :(

[@philrose7716]

Just think how much you could accomplish without the Minutiae of every detail.

[@johndonahue7735]

if you make a large T to hold up bored even the kids can help you

[@susiefisch]

Do you speak French as well as Italian? Assume you speak German as well, as you live in Austria. Or do most of your neighbors/friends inthese two small towns speak English?

[@NotUselessYet]

I am lucky enough to speak fluent French and German, my Italian isn't so good

[@kevinnye5132]

@@NotUselessYet not luck Ralf but hard work and Ofc working and living life there is huge help, I can order 1 beer 🍺 in like 19 languages lol 😂 enough to live by 😁
