We cleared a large lot with poplar trees on it. We have not been or seen the area before due to an overgrowth. Also, part 2 of the cost of groceries in France. I am still painting the apartment. Hopefully I am half way there.

I like that you share your learning experiences with us...Having similar multi- pipework in my last kitchen, I think your hated paint sprayer might save you a lot of time and effort going around and behind all of them. Then you could go around the rest of the walls with your rollers and brushes...To me, it seems that food is very expensive in your part of France; it seems a lot more pricey than similar items in UK...ps. One thing to mention is if the farmer did not pick up the dock plants from your forest area, after he mowed it, they will survive winter and drop thier hundreds of seeds, to grow back even worse in the spring. It's a good idea to pick them up now, and burn them. If you do that every year, you should be able to eradicate them, plus, try to get it cut before the seeds start showing is even better, but I know that may be difficult to get farmer out when it is best time to do it. Find some old tarp and go along the rows, putting the cut plants in center of tarp. they aren't heavy, so you can then gather up the 4 corners and carry to bonfire site. The children might enjoy doing that.

Yes, we were thinking that too. Fires are not allowed here but we will find a farmer with an appropriate machine to take care of the rest/seedlings. Really? Does food get any cheaper in supermarkets in France? Wow! Eating out at restaurants is expensive though.

I love how you show prices. I think your prices are very good in France where you are. Way lower than here in SW Florida every item over $5 and up. I really enjoy your channel ❤

Thank you. I will try to show other aspects of living in France as well. We are just getting immersed in it.

I love your chandelier, it is so exquisite. Navy and silver sounds like a good idea. Also shades of grey could be a choice. Very happy for you, it’s all not easy but exciting!

Ok let's talk paint. I don't know why people buy paint thin as water. Benjamin Moore has a store in paris that delivers to anywhere in France and sells paint thick as yogurt. They have different levels of quality. We ordered twelve gallons of paint and they delivered it for free.

Interesting! Would not even think of that. Will look into it for sure as this is just a beginning of painting for me.

Prime all your walls, then paint. You can change the dark colars to white.

Yes, I learned something about priming. But planning to keep it moody in that dining room. Something different than the white walls throughout the apartment.

Food prices are really great here comparing with the US. Also, they use a kg instead of lb so you essentially get twice as much produce/meat, etc.

It seems like your property has money making potential over time. Do you plan to do anything of that sort or just use it as your private home?

If we could figure it all out, then not only as a private home.

Now just think about all the preservatives, GMO's, steroids, hormones, antibiotics, industrial chemicals and toxic waste you are no longer feeding your children...they stand a far better chance of living and healthy growth without all the garbage in American food. Once you learn a little french cuisine you can save even more money because the foods we are used to from the states are more expensive here because the demand is so low.....
