I found my father on this site. It only took me until I was 67 years old to even know his last name ! But just to find out he died just two years before.

[@MissRubyTuesday61]

Ive jist had my dna done by this site need to explore it further

[@lorraineklimek1677]

I don’t know how the two of you work as hard as you do and still maintain your good humour. And you’re both so multi-talented, I am in awe. Keep it up and keep these videos coming!!

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you so much!

[@nativetexson]

Sweet find with the La Cornue stove. You scored! Enjoy-

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks 👍

[@coolcpa3321]

I opted for La Cornue's Chateau 150 and Flamberge Rotiserrie in my Northern California kitchen. My friends told me I was crazy to spend that much money, but they're heavenly tools and I don't regret the expense.

[@serataylor664]

So, you feed AND talk to your children - how VERY progressive!*lol * Congrats on the wonderful new-to-you stove. Your husband Lincoln reminds me more of MY husband Lincoln all the time- so patient and unflappable in the midst of renovation chaos. Maybe it's in the name! 😉 Thanks for another great vlog!!❤️

[@kindlydude]

I was thinking "how traditional" ... but I guess in this day & age w/all the electronic distractions it's 'progress' to feed your children & actually speak to them as well! At any rate, love her dry laconic humor! 😉

[@TonBoon]

Please never change.

[@rhondathomas7952]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@Nothingtoseehere271]

The big sink could be useful in a greenhouse or close to your garden. To wash you’re hopefully amazingly growing veggies, to water your plants or give some pots a good rinse…🌱 😊

[@MsYingyang2]

Or perhaps laundry room

[@normamurray4450]

Wow, good deal and well worth the miles to pick it up! Thanks for sharing the sound of the donkey crunching the carrot, I presume? My gosh, maybe I'm weird, but I love a good crunch!!! Happy cleaning and renewing! Thanks for the continued humour Amanda!

[@clairejarts]

Love your sense of humor!!! Frenetic ceiling destruction along with Vivaldi’s best summer storm ever! Love your new stove, congratulations on that great find.

[@KACn5582]

I know the love for a stove. I drove 8 hours total to get a stove from 1945 that was ummm.... in pieces. My husband was less excited than I was 😂

[@kathywillis7459]

Congrats on the stove. It’s beautiful!

[@deettekearns9092]

Congratulations on the gorgeous oven! So excited to see all the cottage changes! **Don't hate me but I want your videos to be longer. I just can't get enough!

[@jts-x5k]

Been watching & enjoying your channel for approximately the last 9 months. I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada & was surprised to read that in 1880 your ancestor Calixa LaVallée, composed the musical score of our Canadian national anthem. The first Lyrics were written (in French) by Adolphe- Basile Routhier,a poet. Later in 1900 English lyrics were written. It wasn’t until 1980 that the Canadian parliament adopted O’Canada as our national anthem. According to “The Canadian Encyclopedia” Calixa LaValée moved to the U.S.several times, fought for the Union Army in the Civil War, then travelled to South America, studied in Paris ,and died in Boston. Even after his death at 48 yrs old in 1891 , his travels continued, when he was disinterred and his coffin moved to Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery on Mount Royal in Montreal, which is the 3rd largest cemetery in North America,modelled after Père LaChaise Cemetery in Paris. There is a lot of information available about your ancestor Calixa LaVallée. Anyway, just keep up your great KZbin channel, you and Lincoln inspire me! 👍👍

[@joannecalcutt6724]

Lincoln looked like a superhero taking that ceiling down 😜😜😜

[@stefaniesombaty8980]

I have complete and utter stove envy! I will figure out how to become your best friend so I can come and stay in the renovated cottage just to use the stove. I'm not a chef but I am a good cook! If you encounter someone from Ohio wandering in the countryside, it's me. Deal of the century!!!!

[@turawolfe2841]

Great stove! I love it! Glad I got to see the donkey! You guys are working hard and that is fun to watch! I am so old now all I can do is watch and remember how much fun it was when I could do all the things you are doing now. Thanks for the visit!!! And thanks for telling me about MyHeritage. I am going to check it out! Thanks!!

[@valariebresee4450]

Thanks to your great Uncle for our ANTHEM OF Canada we all love it. And great stove .

[@tonivalenzuela8274]

Go Lincoln, you're a beast. Great find on the stove.

[@michellewilliamson449]

Ha! The music went perfectly with Lincoln removing the ceiling! Your stove looks nice and won't take up a lot of room.

[@cherylreid9165]

I know it must be frustrating when you are travelling far and on a schedule, but we LOVED using the D roads in France when exploring on holidays. So many fabulous little places to discover and it lessens the feel of being a tourist. It's the closest thing to wandering somewhat aimlessly down all the side streets in Paris and hopefully reaching your destination. Thank you for adding those shots, it brought back many happy memories.

[@lorij6445]

The stove didn’t sell because it was destined for you, that’s all there is to it😊It’s beautiful! I to find that cat people tend to be the most trustworthy.

[@deirdrecerasa3932]

The stove is gorgeous, or will be once it is cleaned up. Well worth the drive. Lincoln’s precision ceiling demo is fabulous when set to Vivaldi! ❤

[@ce1581]

That stove could not have found a better family , great price, wow ! I wouldnt spend 35,000 on a car ! Of course you will be cooking up masterpieces to guests, while i eat peanut butter and jelly to avoid cooking a real meal 😂.

[@cherylmomof2boys]

Darn. This one was over too soon. Time flies.

[@kdean9537]

Beautiful sunrise shot! It's always great to see you both. I absolutely love your sense of humour...don't ever change! Congratulations on the stove, it's beautiful & what a great price, well worth the drive! Nice to see the donkeys...love hearing the crunch when they eat. Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful rest of the week. Take really good care, Kathy x Canada

[@deborahmarion9038]

Wow! My husband would have stove envy if he saw your stove. We had a stove with a French top in a previous house we owned and he loved it! What a score Amanda! Enjoy!

[@marionk995]

So it’s the airstream of ovens lol

[@VintageLPs]

What a prize you found with that stove. Such a unique look about it, too. About six years ago we drove along some of the same highways in Normandy. My paternal ancestor left St. Gatien du Bois in the 1600’s and since I have kept my maiden name, it is the same as that ancestor. Lovely to see the spring flowers in January when I am buried in snow. We don’t even see daffodils in bloom until May. 😢 Loved watching you clean out the outbuilding as that always leaves one with a good feeling. Have a great week!

[@mikecorby9561]

Incroyable aubaine votre cuisinière La Cornue. Bravo!

[@kokoerper]

Great find! Sometimes it IS worth going way out of the way for a potential gem.

[@irishdancer2753]

The birds singing is beautiful ….🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Great deal on the stove 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉That sink in the barn is lovely as well. Love seeing your animals popping in and out. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

[@bernadettehooper4318]

So glad you found the dream stove. Research and persistence paid off. Even better, you know how to use this gem.

[@Nena84734]

Wow, what a work of art that stove is, OMG! I’ll tell you, it’s really something else watching Lincoln demo, dang! Yes, hearing the birds in the morning is one of life’s greatest pleasures!

[@robweberdesign]

What a wonderful find with the stove, your good karma ! It’s going to be beautiful in your cottage! 🏆

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

That little village you went through looked lovely! I've gotten to where I prefer taking the back roads around the U.S. rather than the interstate highways. It's a more interesting trip and doesn't seem to take all that much longer. Oh, and I also have some French ancestors, way back before they went to England with William the Conqueror! All of that is so fascinating. I think we retain memories of certain things in our DNA, and I've always had an affinity for things both French and British. Turns out, that's where most of my ancestors are from! That stove is lovely, and what a find! Sometimes, things are just meant to be.

[@tenajones2841]

Spectacular stove!!!🎉❤. And your travels thru France reminded me of some of our Ca views …the trip from So Cal to Nor Cal. Oh and start the go fund me for the big stove!

[@melissacoelho8413]

What a beautiful oven and what a great bargain. It’s beautiful. So glad you guys got there and got back OK and that you were able to get it into your home without hopefully too much difficulty. Bravo.

[@bobbiejay2085]

Stove is a definite score. She's a beauty.

[@angelhelen84]

I was just thinking about you two and wondered if you had put a new video…here you are 😊

[@karenbrindley7170]

OMG! The 120 Chateu La Cornue is currently running 75 grand to get one in the US. This is the color combination i want. The tiny double ovens cause me pause

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Beautiful stove, it will be a great addition to the cottage. Very nive ❤

[@jayneturnbull5041]

Well done on finding that wonderful stove. There is just one thing wrong with your vlogs, they are never long enough for me.....I really get your humour Amanda and just live for the day Lincoln throws a tantrum.....such a quiet gentleman...surely he will abandon this persona and throw a big tantrum one day.

[@teedee3834]

Congrats on your beautiful new stove and your long drive was certainly worth it!!! Chefs kiss on your score!!!😉😉 Love your videos and you fun sense of humor!!!🥰😊🥰

[@waltercook4868]

Beautiful stove. If it's any indication as to the look you are going for in the cottage, it is going to be heart warmingly beautiful.

[@natalierice6528]

The pink in the cottage cracks me up every time. I think the finished cottage needs something as homage to the pink. Back in the 80's, I painted a bathroom in a rental that pepto color. It was still better than the previous blue grey color. The poor people who rented after me tho.😂😂

[@paulmartinez9581]

I can’t believe you guys found this, so great because I just saw one that was $20,000 The one I saw was made in the 60s so you guys really made out👍🏼👍🏼.

[@Sanc-ls2cl]

I would drive anywhere for a La Cornue! They are so beautiful! I ask myself why a stove can have more meaning than a diamond and they cost the same, but a stove wins!

[@ShellyBomb]

Hi Amanda: I'm sure you've answered this previously (so apologies in advance), but what did Lincoln do for a career prior to your move to France? I ask, because he seems to know everything about construction & renovation work. Okay back to the video ... 😉

[@annlyon.2040]

I could watch your videos for hours. It just makes me feel happy ! I’m in a rut here in California. Lol

[@Liberté-NAT]

The stove is gorgeous! Congrats 🎉

[@cindylenie794]

Bravo on the stove find🎉

[@susannaeknes3566]

Hard workers! Awesome! Doing amazingwork!

[@catherinegraham6622]

What a steal!! So exciting!! How do you top that in the chateau kitchen!!❤

[@marilizevandermerwe8343]

I had the most gruesome spy movie playing through my head watching Lincoln carrying the crates to the van with those firm stern steps of his, his glasses beard and jacket creating the atmosphere, you talking about picking up bodies and then the long beautiful countryside pictures of France. Then talking about the fearful neurotic Americans just at the right time in the movie in my head. haha. You know how to give good clues for a great narrative.

[@georgesgohier484]

wow!!! La Cornue at a bargain basement price..... Congratulations on such a great find.

[@talesfromtuscany]

WHAT A BARGAIN! Well done you two! Years of happy cooking to come and so worth the trip. Isn't it incredible how much they cost but they're like a handmade car I guess...such amazing craftsmanship. It will look amazing once you've cleaned it up...enjoy! 🥰🤗

[@faeryvixenetc]

LOVE that you used Vivaldi's Winter for the soundtrack 🤗💗🦊

[@juliajohnson6022]

Lincoln, I’m glad you decided to listen to your wife and put the stove in the house.😘❤️🇺🇸. $1500, sounded high until you said some are $35,000 euros. Stoves are expensive over there. Looks like the burners in the stove have hardly been used.😊

[@SindyBoyle]

I love the humorous quips. Truly great find on the cooker stove at a bargain price.

[@LisaMoo54]

Farmers are also protesting to be able to use their toxic pesticides, too. The EU banned Monsanto a while back but now that Beyer bought the company (is my guess why this got turned around), the EU just extended the permit to allow the use of Round Up (glyphosate). Apparently the government just passed some other restrictions on herbicides/pesticides that the farmers don't like. Produce in France isn't as clean as everyone thinks it is!

[@elizabethheatley22]

Oh Canada! Just to let you know Amanda, in tribute to your ancestor, we love our Canadian anthem 🇨🇦! ! It’s definitely one of the better ones. That stove is a real bargain! Those kind of bargains don’t come up very often. So jealous of your budding spring. Here in Toronto spring won’t deign to visit us until April 😢.

[@suzyq555]

Amanda I love your sence of humor. You are hilarious 🤣 😅😂❤

[@MsYingyang2]

I am so excited for you and your family from scoring that beautiful stove. What a find! It is magnificent. You sure are energetic and motivated. What is Lincoln’s background. He seems a natural for fixing things.

[@sarahlovesdonuts9601]

Even if the stove didn’t work, it’s gorgeous and worth the money!

[@ericmcmaster1451]

Wow that was the deal of the century! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I loved the intro with Vivaldi's summer and the tearing out of the ceiling it was a fantastic choice... Well done and I am really jealous of that stove. Damn!!!!!

[@michaelho5040]

Thank you very much for showing your chateau and your everyday life there! Lincoln is such a gentle person of a few words and he is so productive and diligent in his work - not that you are not, you are too!. Lincoln and you need to wear a waste support belt as you both are lifting heavy stuffs days in and days out... so not to be sorry later. While I much admire your work and dedication, I do really think you need a full time helper as it is really too much for you two.

[@kathyeyesopen4078]

That stove is Fantastic! I have no doubts that Lincoln will get it in excellent order before too long. You got the bargain of the century there! Beautiful to just drive thru France and all the little towns. I love how Dominic now runs right up to the camera 🥰. So sweet. You did good on the garage. My husband never wants to throw the boxes out🤯. See you again soon. 🥰🥰🥰

[@debbiemccann3711]

You both make me smile.Love the stove.Great find

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I believe you made a very good purchase. The stove is beautiful and will be a focal point in the cottage kitchen. It’s only the end of January and you already have snowdrops and daffodils popping out of the ground. We have winter for the next couple of months. I’m jealous. Enjoy!! xx

[@trixesatelier]

I am in Germantown NY & so far away from you and feel the same way about it feeling so close to Spring and the birds!! They have been so plentiful & have even seen Bluebirds!! Love your stove, may you have many a fine meal from its glory!

[@tedgalperalper1828]

My wife used to work for William Sonoma and one time soled a client a la corneau stove. it was incredibly expensive. It was interesting to see that name after a number of years. Good luck on your projects. I am impressed with your motivation and ingenuity. I owned a place in Tuscany for 15 years, but it was a small apartment of 65 m² and, I had very limited equity involved. My talents in the area of DIY were very limited and fortunately when we bought the place it was a project that included complete restoration. Much luck from one of your Palo Alto fans.

[@Redbird_Girl2010]

Your chateau is so beautiful! I just love your donkeys, all the outbuildings, and your entranceway is super! On your Q & A session, I think you said you were an artist. Maybe you can share your artwork with us or do a simple art tutorial? That would be fun. Anyhow, congrats on your nice new stove! It looks like your gamble paid off.

[@peterwhite9261]

Awesome deal on the stove. I feel an early spring here, too. I love to hear the birds, too. The time-lapse proves you have a lot done. Love the scenery.

[@audreyshort8852]

I love your stove, well worth the trip, my husband and I have taken many trips to find treasures too. I always enjoy your videos, God bless you both and your family, and all your animals.

[@machellep1]

Wow that’s so much tender Lincoln is making for the fires. Should be good for a few years. Lovely stove, worth the drive I’d think.

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

I bought a La Cornue CornFe for my Tuscan home. I design the space around this stove. Had to pay full price at Williams Sonoma. It looks and works great! I have had trouble with the ignition system. Apparently, the electronic unit is a cheap Chinese part. It’s the double oven model. The convection cooks in one third of the time. The left oven has all modes.

[@jennichristie5264]

What a gorgeous oven! I love my ancestral research. Can lose many an hour down fabulous rabbit holes.

[@smd2702]

Oooh la la 💗👩‍🍳🥘 that stove - stylish and of course a very practical item, will also certainly warm the cottage too - love your content you make me smile 😊

[@irishdancer2753]

Amanda, love your sense of humor! Love your stove!! Lincoln, Mr Prepared!!! You are a great team! Love your videos….

[@georgesboutz8080]

And that beautiful copper pot you put on the stove! You probably have many more, they are the best.

[@jocquemorrison9785]

You actually talk to your children. Super ❤️

[@sarahmiller5632]

Love your sense of humour, Amanda. That stove was a lucky find. 🤗🇨🇦

[@YT-Viewer]

Great find on the stove and it's in great shape! LMAO over how clever the music matched to Lincoln's demolition was.

[@boessheila50]

My God. U ppl work hard. U have redone ur Chateau. VERY BEAUTIFUL @! STUNNING. RENO. U MADE IT MODERN BUT WITH A SOME ANTIQUES ESPECIALLY THE ARMOURS!! I ❤️ UR CATS. GORGEOUS🐈🐈‍⬛🦝. BUT..... THE DEAD FOX HAS TO GO MY DEAR..😂 I love ur 2 donkeys. I see ur feeding ur lovely garden Swiss chard. Wow. Ur gardens sure grow well. Did u know Swiss Chard and beet tops r excellent vitamin stuff for u hard workers!! Ur hubby and u get along very nice and respectful which is great. Having a great relationship with all that hard work it's imperative to have some Sarcastic since of humor now and again only in Fun!! I see this in several Chateau Reno couples have a great working/living Plan. Bravo to yous🎉🎉

[@christinewilkinson3772]

Great find!!! You’ll be loving that stove for ever!

[@sarahwade1120]

Always love to see what you’re doing…so productive. Great buy on the stove!

[@christina-yp6jy]

Lincoln you are Superman.

[@Denika1388]

So happy for you with your cooking stove, lucky it, to have been purchased by someone who appreciates and knows how to cook on it.😊

[@davidstewart9263]

Once I drove from Florida to Indiana for a stove I wanted. I understand your feelings 😊

[@rt3box6tx74]

Farmers don't work for "wages", tho they do employ people that they pay wages to. However farm workers aren't able to finance the purchase of a tractor so those clogging up the motorways would be farm owners. They're entrepreneurial businessmen in a high tech endeavor involving geology, soil analysis, plant biology, chemistry, and expertise ad infinitum. A new, large tractor can be worth 10x that range you bought. Congratsn on finding such a nice bargain. We're jealous of your lovely weather and.green landscapes. We'll be impatiently waiting until April for daffodils to pop up..

[@serataylor664]

As do I!! They are a great couple and so much fun to watch!!👍 ❤️

[@sonjasleeper1511]

I am glad the farmers are protesting

[@heliedecastanet1882]

Congrats for La Cornue ! Do you know what year this one was made ? It seems quite old (but very beautiful !)

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Late 80's.

[@carolynewilliams1194]

Feeding my ‘remaining at home children’ is the only time I get to see them and sometimes talk to them. Sometimes they message me to say they’re eating out. Other times they pop into my bedroom when they come home to see if I’m still alive.😂😂 They are in their late twenties though (and the youngest two. I’ve another two both in their 30’s. One of them has an all black cat called Tippy. Don’t know where he got the name from). I digress! Love the stove! What a bargain! ❤

[@user-wf4ej9gf1y]

Wow…you found a super fantastic deal on the stove. Way to go!!! Interesting about the farmers strike. Thank your lucky stars for GPS to keep you out of the traffic

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

So happy you found a great deal on your stove . That was worth the journey. Good luck with the cleaning👏👏👌👌

[@JenniferFerne-lb8xc]

Love your sense of humour and work life balance.❤

[@TheMarsh777]

Great Job you, two!!! 🎉
