I think Bruce needs to be given the cottage to use in perpetuity whenever he wants, based on what a good friend and valuable resource he’s been to you!
Blessed to have ALL the helpers and Tomas too! One thing about friends family in love and support…they Never expect anything in return! Abbey is gracious and these folks know her and are there for pure joy and satisfaction in using their talents with heart to assist and be part of an incredible journey and magical adventure!!! 🎉❤xoxo SIMPLY THE BEST
My take aways; 1. Bruce ALMIGHTY! He makes the demolition hard work, look “easy”. He’s so knowledgeable. You are so fortunate to have him among your friends/become family group. 2. Chloe does not miss a thing. Adore her. 3. Last, but absolutely not the least, Abby you are fearless. You have been so hands on-its amazing and inspiring. Most people cannot drive a nail (I’m definitely in that group). And you really held a vision for this caretaker’s cottage-I can’t wait to watch the progress.
That cottage is going to be such an amazing little studio for you! Love love love! ❤ (as a fellow artist, I’d be all swoon over the moon to have that!) I can’t wait to see it finished!
I think I've watched and rewatched this 6 times! With every foot of wall that comes down you can just see the whole place coming alive! It's so exciting! Super fun project to go along with you on!!!
Loved this vlog- it was so therapeutic and exciting!!! Keep it up Abby, Bruce & Chloe! The cottage is turning into a dream. Miss you guys AND Bob’s your uncle♥️
That's an astounding amount of work in the cottage! It's already transformed. The raw 3rd floor is already beautiful, I think, with the stone and the space and the light! Great work - Bruce is such a beast! It's so exciting to see this building remade -- it's clear you both have a great view to what it should be.
It sounds a bit weird, but there’s something very therapeutic about watching someone else knocking out walls and cleaning up DIY style. I’m very happy your getting the cottage up to scratch well done 👍
It is a good thing that you got Bruce. Tomaz is a huge help also. It is just amazing that place didn't burn to the ground. I like Bruce's idea of the metal stairs. I think that space is gonna be cute when it is done. These jobs are not for the unskilled or faint of heart. You are in good hands with Bruce.❤
This was so exciting and inspiring to watch ❤ the new energy and light that Bruce has bought in to the spaces is amazing - a real tonic to watch merci beaucoup
There's a lot to be said for being around people with whom you were young. How nice to have Bruce around. Love from Australia - we're the same the world over.
Abby, I'm so glad you and Bruce wear masks and gloves. Esp masks are so important on construction sites with hundreds of years of dust, mold, bacteria, toxic ruble, whatnot. And, I'm so glad you have a good friend like Bruce who can spot trouble and fix it; indeed, so many good people who're chipping in with the reno.
Wow Bruce is on fire working hard out but hell that black fire mark on the ceiling must of been close to fire at some stage . Thomas and his mate have a great idea to fill that trailer below . But it's going to be a very neat space just looking at it once all cleaned out love the floors and rock wall . ❤ Be better anyhow with a Wood burner in it too . Great job ❤❤. Hello Chloe 🦇🐾🐾🐾
It seems such a huge expanse space with no structural walls …frankly it makes me rather nervous. But then you have an expert guiding the restoration of the cottage… it will be lovely…we are all patiently awaiting the rebirth of this enchanting cottage. Thank you for inviting us to come along. Be safe, Abby, Chloe, Bruce, and friends 🎉 Well done! 🌟💛
Abby, Bruce incredible work & team, looking forward to the transformation, love your music selection…all of it, great video Abby, your becoming a real pro😃, thank u for great content & workout😃😃💜
Modest is good! Modest is sensible! Modest is cautious! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 WOW, blow my mind!! I can’t believe it! It is going to be just marvelous. I can see it now in my minds eye. Stick with modest and it will look exactly as it should!! Bravo! You are once again, off to a great start! So happy for your success. 💕 “What were they thinking?” That fireplace??? Day drinkers, perhaps???? A lovely safe wood burning stove will be charming, but make sure it’s a BIG one, not a little dinky one. I
Bruce is really good at all kinds of things, it would be really nice if he would stay , Abby your place is so beautiful and i can just picture that cottage when you and Bruce are finished, God Bless Bruce for helping and God Bless you in everything you do
Ok, Bruce is just a bad ass. Is there nothing he can't do? I loved that sped up footage of him demoing. Very satisfying. I'm so happy for you that you have him as a friend, and an invaluable helper. He is also very lucky to have you, actually, for the same reasons. You seem to work very well together. I can't wait for next video, to what new and exciting things are happening at the chateau! Have a great week! A bientot!😊
Bruise is amazing at the building works great idea getting him over from usa you done the right thing as France is in the slow lane on everything 😊it’s looking great what you have achieved keep going great vlogs😊
Abby would be lovely to stabilize under that main beam with two squared ones on each end them replace that steel one with one also so all match and can all be stained and maybe polished even.
It's going to look amazing, shoot, it already does!! Bruce is awesome and just love Chloe and her little inquisitive self...bless her❤Great work and take care all!!
You pick the greatest music to go with your videos love everything that you have done and your people are fantastic god bless all of you and thanks for your sweetness 🙏
What a fascinating project. It's going to look so good when it's done. Bruce - you're just amazing and so knowledgeable. Abby and the cottage are safe in your hands!!
What an amazing studio this will be!! Wow that fire place was something else 😮Bruce is a master of all! Amazing skilled all around super human!! This is going to be spectacular once completed!!! Au Revoir 💜
Oh please, please restore the stairs. They are so charming and deserve the effort. Metal replacement, although “funky” would just be a shame in that sweet historic little cottage. 🙏🏻. Anyhoo, you’ve done a lovely job on the chateau and the garden is going to be so lovely. Enjoy your channel. 😊💕
When Bruce removed the area over the top of the fireplace my heart dropped, to see all that soot (possible future fire). I see so many images in that soot...there are faces,a gentleman (center) and a cute dog with little round eyes and nose (center below the gentleman). I'm sure as an artist you can see it at the 22:00 timestamp and further on,I called the soot shape "Your Angel". I love the chateau and I think you will find happiness there for a long time. Love and Light
