Wow Maddie and Elli, you have tackled a lot of hard jobs in the last while… how exhausting! No wonder you needed to put the couch out… you deserve a place to relax! Elli, that was mega hard work making all the lines in the walls for the electricity… not easy holding your arms above your head for so long. You are both extremely hard-working gals… well done! Looking forward to your next video! ❤️👩🌾👩🌾❤️🐕❤️🐥🐥🐥❤️
You two are so good at just putting one foot in front of the other and getting what needs to be done, done (apparently with good humor). I'm loving watching the transformation of your sweet home. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You are acquiring so many amazing skills! It will be nice, as you say, when you have a completed room to hang out in. Until then you've got stress relief right outside in your garden with those sweet little ducks. 😊❤
Your content is a testament to your courage and resilience in tackling challenges head-on. Each video showcases your journey through European home renovation, highlighting your honesty and willingness to share both successes and setbacks. Your determination to learn and grow from mistakes is truly admirable, inspiring viewers with your authenticity and dedication. And I am Floating Village Life
Elli! 🤣 It's the "No I don't like this work, thanks for asking" and the stomping down the toolshed stairs for me LOL. You guys are troopers. I enjoy watching the progress and you guys will be so satisfied when it's all done!
You have me re-living my remodeling love story. Following a rough break up I bought a little cottage that had all the major upgrades already completed, new windows, new electrical system. Even though, there was almost a year of new flooring, painting, sealing, etc., to be done. This little cottage took me in and took care of me until I was ready to jump back into life. You will never regret even an ounce of the time, sweat and tears you put into your new home.
Wow, those floors came out gorgeous!!!!!!!! 13 is MY favorite number, but not when it comes to getting stitches 😝 Yep, the story of the three little pigs is a good reminder. It’s why European has so many old houses, many having survived two wars.
Kudos to you both for all the energy, and true grit you put into your renovation (aw to be that young again). So glad Ellie's father and uncle can help. 👏👏👏Your dream home is taking shape and it must feel so good to know you are doing it all yourselves. 🏘
There might not be a place you can hang out inside your house while you’re renovating but you have a lovely garden oasis and your ducks to welcome you outside. And that’s not bad.🩷 How satisfying to be able to set up your sofa and have a rest. Even if you’re surrounded by varying degrees of unfinished work, it lets you gaze upon all that you have completed. 😊
Home renovation always takes twice as long as you planned. And it is full of surprises. You two are doing an amazing job! Your garden, aka the duck ranch, is beautiful.
My experience with renovation........."breathe, just breathe and laugh". It will be great on completion! You guys are doing great! I love the garden area!!! Thanks for the videos!!
Im amazed at how much harder it is to renovate a home where you are. When I think of how easy it to make changes to a wall or to fish a wire through an exterior wall I swear to god I'll never complain again LMAO😆😆. KUDOS! to you gals its a huge job but you've battled through it. Dam is all I can say. Keep Da faith! keep thinking were almost there😇😊 were almost there.😋 🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍 💜
Gawd this resonates so hard!! We are 2 months into a renovation. House smelled. Scope much larger than we knew because of so much bad original construction. Everything we own is in storage and we are renting a 400sqft cabin for the 2 of us and our dog with no place to sit. I just want 1 room that isn’t full of dirt, that doesn’t smell and has my favorite yellow chair to drink coffee from. So empathize! 💪💪
You are both coping well with your renovation it's great that family are there to help with the knowledge to get the work done. Teaching you and helping you save money with the trades.the house is coming together.
You girls are working so hard. The bloops are proof that you're at least having fun. Such a big life change from van life so it's good to know you're happy and having a good time. The stuff you're tackling is mind blowing! ❤
I'm amazed at how hard and diligently you and Ellie have worked these last few days, and I praise Ellie's father for treating your woodblock flooring with such care, in addition to the most important electrical work. If your washing machine is kaput, you can always cannibalize its drum to later use it as a nifty firepit for when the chillier autumnal days arrive and you can then roast sweet chestnuts in a pan on top. Otherwise visit a scrap metal merchant and haggle for one. I made a smart perching stool with a 2nd drum, adding a foam cushion as a bum pleaser. In stainless steel the drum-seat looked awesome. I would like to see you two wearing masks for any dusty work, even when pulling down old curtains. Really, I'm not nagging, but protect your lungs and at all times wear polycarbonate safety glasses to protect your eyes! Maddie, the change from living in a van to living in your house may take a toll on you, but to overcome any stress, please, please go to bed earlier because sleep really helps us emotionally. Cease use of your phones / laptops 2 hours before sleep (try telling my daughters that!!) 😆 You and Ellie's minds and bodies need to rest more. I'm 60 yet still need 9 hours quality sleep. There again, my business is saving lives, so I need to be in top form both physically and emotionally. Take care both of you. Try and relax more. Much love and hugs, Wendi
Wow you both are doing a fabulous job! Love that Ducky content, (so cute when you snuggled with them all before bed!) You both are learning so much! I look forward to every video!
Hi Maddie & Elli you’re doing great. Got to confess its the first time I have seen anyone “shovelling” water… but it seemed to work. Take care & have a great week🙂👍
Hallo Maddie und Ellie es ist nicht einfach , ein haus zu renovieren , wenn man es bereits bewohnt Sie sind auf dem richtigen weg Viel SPAB und pass auf Hello Maddie and Ellie It's not easy to renovate an occupied house But your on the right track Have FUN and be SAVE
You girls are doing a great job considering it's all a learning curve for you both. At least your workshop looks great, and you sure have a collection of much needed tools in there now . Enjoying your posts Maddie, least you both still have a smile on your faces 😊
That foor is beautiful, i love it. Well done on you both learning new skills/trades and tackling as much of the house renovations that you safely can. I also love your sofa, it looks so comfy. ❤
The plunger is what they used to keep the drain clear :) I would recommend you hit the drain full whack with that pressure washer with the blaster jet. Will flush it right out. I'll be nice and warn you that it often comes straight back out! Stand clear!
I just them little duckies 🐤 😍 .. Floor Looks Absolutely Amazing Beautiful. U 2 R Very Talented n Work So Great Together. ❤. God Bless Ya'll ❤️ Hugs n Love from Michigan, Tam ❤❤🐣🐣🐣🐤🐤🐤🐥🐥🐥🦆🦆🦆❤❤❤❤❤
Another great video! You ladies are doing an awesome job! I know you’ve heard the saying before, but remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day! I always try to remember that day in (probably) 3rd grade when we were taught that the 4 things you need to survive are Food, Water, Shelter, and Heat. It seems that you have all of those covered. Everything else is just comfort! Yes, your place is a mess, and No it won’t be perfect anytime soon, but it WILL get there and it WILL be perfect one day! As John Lennon said, “Life is what happens while you’re busy making other plans”. So, enjoy the journey!
Gosh! That was such an awesome reply that it even made ME tear up a little!! So, I better at least get a ‘like’ from both of you!! Haha!! Just kidding, great job, ladies!
Workshop needs LOTS of shelves. You should be able to walk in and see what u need. Peg board should have all your manual hand tools. Ie. screwdrivers. Players, hammers etc. you fill a tote to do a project. Then carry it back and put in its place when done. Add an electrical outlet every 6’. In every room. Write down which color is what on a wall. Because in two days you’ll forget.
Man, those concrete walls just seem unnecessarily difficult to work with. I'm impressed at how well you two are tackling the electrical. And the floors look amazing. Great work!
Hi Maddie & Ellie. I've been absent from the comments for quite a while. I've been following your progress since the beginning, just haven't made the effort to comment. Renovation is full of mistakes especially when you're doing that type of work for the first time. It's all a part of the learning process. ☺ Love the garden and duck pond. Have you given the ducks names yet? How about Huey, Louie, and Dewey? 🦆🦆🦆
It’s a lot of work and time consuming to remodel a house. Your progress is moving forward nicely. Just think “sweat equity” to put a smile on your face. Or “sweet equity”! Either one works.
Moin Ihr zwei. Tolle Arbeit, wie immer! Viel zu tun, was oft wenig Spaß bringt. Ich hätte noch eine Anmerkung zu euren Enten. Ihr solltet über einen größeren Stall nachdenken, ein Indoor Quartier. Hier oben gibt es nicht selten Vogelgrippe Sperrbezirke mit Stallpflicht. Im Fall der Fälle seid Ihr vorbereitet anstatt hektisch eibe Notlösung zu finden! Grüße aus Eckernförde Marko
Do I have to tear down the wallpaper when the floor is finished sanding and oiling?? The floor was really nice, it's such a lovely feeling with a new sanded oiled floor. I understand you want to finish the whole house and therefore work everywhere and then it is even more important to take a break and take time for each other, but it will be so good when you are done. I eagerly await the next update from you and your renovation chaos
Hello from Alabama, y'all two are staying busy busy busy!! I've heard good things about ozone for eliminating unpleasant smells. They sell air filters that also produce ozone,so you might want to look into it. Stay Safe!! Keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍🐕🦺😎
Great work, Girls... especially since you don't love the rehab part. Hold on to your patience and sense of humor. These kinds of projects can wear on a friendship. Decorating is coming :)
Wallpaper would NEVER come off like that for me. I guarantee if it was me it would have taken hours and hours to remove and require every tool known to man. That’s how I roll, be glad I’m not there! 😂
The shot of the ducks feet is adorable
I was thinking this 🥹🫶🏻

Watching you ladies' sand and buffer the floor was so satisfying, lol. We need more Elli broom guitar solos!
It’s ridiculous how much I look forward to these videos. ❤
🥹🫶🏼
You are acquiring so many amazing skills! It will be nice, as you say, when you have a completed room to hang out in. Until then you've got stress relief right outside in your garden with those sweet little ducks. 😊❤
Your floors look so beautiful! Seeing your ducks actually using the pond in the garden must be satisfying after all the work you put into it.
It really is!! 🤍
I truly admire all the hard work you two are putting into this house. The floors look great!!!
Ladies, use a simple fan to blow the dust out of the window… It’s great to see you solving one task after another. Well done ❣🙏
Maddie and Ellie sorry nearly forgot Ellie's dad and uncle great job. Take care all.
Thank you ✨🫶🏼

1:38, when Elli remembers to love life and music. Don't sweat the small stuff, and remember it's all small stuff. 🎸 😊
👩🏼🎤💃🏼🎸
Love the duck breaks ----both of you are doing a wonderful job with the renovation---Cheers!
Elli! 🤣 It's the "No I don't like this work, thanks for asking" and the stomping down the toolshed stairs for me LOL. You guys are troopers. I enjoy watching the progress and you guys will be so satisfied when it's all done!
Those 2 moments had me laughing too. Amazing ladies!

You girls are killing it with this renovation! Keep up the great work! ❤🎉😊. Thank you for sharing your adventures!
So proud of you girls for refurbishing the floors, instead of completely replacing them! Lots of work, but totally worth it!!! ❤️Great Job love's!!!
Home renovation always takes twice as long as you planned. And it is full of surprises. You two are doing an amazing job! Your garden, aka the duck ranch, is beautiful.
I’ll say again, I’m LOVING this series! Thank you so much for sharing it all with us❣️

The most aesthetic home improvement videos on CZcams 😊
wow i can imagine how living in a construction zone can be challenging, but you are doing amazing ! Love the series !
I loved Elli's candor when saying she didn't like the work
The floors look really good ladies! I'm sure when you get one room completely done you will feel so accomplished.
Gawd this resonates so hard!! We are 2 months into a renovation. House smelled. Scope much larger than we knew because of so much bad original construction. Everything we own is in storage and we are renting a 400sqft cabin for the 2 of us and our dog with no place to sit.

It’s definitely not easy, but we just have to remember what we’re doing it for 🫶🏼
oh my gosh my heart goes out to you. YOU GOT THIS
You are both coping well with your renovation it's great that family are there to help with the knowledge to get the work done. Teaching you and helping you save money with the trades.the house is coming together.
Ja we’re really grateful for it !

Ellie "thank you for asking" 😂. Amazing progress you two. Wow. The pimped up floor is beautiful, as is the couch. Cool editing in this one.
I'm amazed at how hard and diligently you and Ellie have worked these last few days, and I praise Ellie's father for treating your woodblock flooring with such care, in addition to the most important electrical work.

Congrats on the sitting room. You're home is looking good!

All your hard work paying off looking realy good well done 🙂
Coming along really good!! Love seeing the progress, keep it up, ladies!!
That one was lot of fun Maddie! and Elli, you may not like the renovation work but you are so good at every new job you learn!
The garden with the pond looks stunning! Great job you two!
Man, those concrete walls just seem unnecessarily difficult to work with. I'm impressed at how well you two are tackling the electrical. And the floors look amazing. Great work!
This is beyond impressive. I’m inspired to do some minor renovations because of this.
Aww yay 🫶🏼
you got this!!!
Yeah, my favorite "Bauhaus" Girlies are back 🎉 can't wait to see what you did in this one
Wow, you people are doing such a great job. Looking good!
I love that you guys are losing it in the bloops. 😂
You guys are doing a great job!!!
Go girls! You rock! Amazing work!
I like the red couch..it looks like a antique

As usual nice job. It's is a lot of work but you guys are better off taking it slow, doing it right, and learning along the way.
Wow, you both are amazing ❤
I am so impressed by both of you. You have done amazing and beautiful work. I wish you both blessings and love on this journey you are on✨️
Hello from Alabama, y'all two are staying busy busy busy!! I've heard good things about ozone for eliminating unpleasant smells. They sell air filters that also produce ozone,so you might want to look into it. Stay Safe!! Keep posting and I'll keep watching 🙏👍🐕🦺😎
Use TSP (TrIsodium Phosphate to wipe down walls to get the old dingy odor out. Or, Pine Sol
Great work, Girls... especially since you don't love the rehab part. Hold on to your patience and sense of humor. These kinds of projects can wear on a friendship. Decorating is coming :)
Ellis Papa hat großartige Arbeit bei dem Boden geleistet. Er sieht wieder wunderschön aus!
Ja, find ich auch🥰
love it. Ya'll are my favorite
Wallpaper would NEVER come off like that for me. I guarantee if it was me it would have taken hours and hours to remove and require every tool known to man. That’s how I roll, be glad I’m not there! 😂
I think we got lucky ! The other rooms is way harder !
A box fan blowing out a window puts the room in negative air pressure keeping a little less dust in the rest of the house
Get yourself a great big shop vacuum it clean up the dust and the water too👍😎
yes, it's definitely on the list !!
Loving the updates
Great job!!
Just love a bloops 🤣
The ducks sure love their pond don’t they?
that shelf sounded just like bongos.
you may regret uncovering your settee this early.
