Cleaning Out Our Abandoned Farm House in Germany...

I think people often forget that when you’re following a person who is sharing a decent portion of their life, you’re not entitled to know everything about them, nor do you need to to enjoy their content. Like after seeing last video that you two bought a house together, I was curious too and thought maybe I missed a life update, but once I realized there was nothing shared about it, I just shrugged and said well that’s none of my business. If it’s two friends buying a house together, that’s great. If it’s more than that, also great. The house content is the same either way lol

So sorry about the homophobic and nit picky comments. Your relationships are your business and we are lucky to even have you share so much of your life with us. Thank you for another fantastic video ❤

I knew from the first time you and Ellie met there was a special friendship connection. You just know when things feel right. Im so happy for you both to be embarking on such a wonderful endeavor. God Bless and looking forward to more house renovation videos. it's going to be beautiful.

Being next to a lake and a forest, an affordable quaint older home with a brick exterior, adequate outdoor space…..I see why you said yes to that property. It makes me want to move to Germany myself. It’s beautiful there! Watching you go through the former owner’s lifetime of treasures is both sad and exciting. There is so much! It’s like taking a walk through the past. Very cool.

Hi Maddie! I am so excited for you and Ellie!! You are absolutely 100% correct. You don't need to share every aspect of your personal life. All I see is two wonderful friends that are embarking on an amazing journey in a beautiful country! This is going to be so epic for you both. Renovating such an amazing home that is so rich in history and the landscaping around you is a dream. The lake, and the forest are Heaven! I can't wait to see what is yet to come with the renovation!! Stay true to yourselves and protect your hearts. You have true friends here and so many of us care so much about the three of you. Enjoy every minute of this journey! Sending big hugs to you and Ellie and tons of love to Eliza!❤

I know it's hard not to focus on such nasty comments but on the bright side, what I see is many many many supporting comments of people who love the 3 of you and your projects! 😊

That "Blacksmith Tool" that you were holding in your right hand at about the 7:30 mark in the video, is a tool used for pulling out nails, so you might find in comes in use during your renovations. They are called "Pincers" and although I am only a DIYer I have a few pairs exactly the same as the ones you were holding and I've used them several times on reno's around my house..

Hi Maddie, I was one of the people who commented about checking for asbestos. I'm sorry if it seemed condescending; it certainly wasn't meant to. I am very glad to hear you were/are going into this project with eyes open and especially that you have such solid support from Eli's family. I can't wait to see what you do with the place!

It's so fun to follow your continued renovation, since people have the energy to care about details, you're the ones who are going to live there and make it your home, as long as you're happy it's good. It will be exciting to see the house finished in a few, many episodes

Thanks for continuing to take us all along for your new journey. Admittedly I started following your van life because I loved the way you experience and respect for being in nature, and for some of the adventures you went on in the past couple of years. I have learned so much about the flora watching your videos, and I love your art. Obviously people making negative comments and "concerns" about your renovation have NOT watched your videos over time. If so, they'd have seen the smart, creative, and beautiful woman that you are. Keep going for what YOU want...and kudos for sharing it all with us. We're here for you. Namaste, Haila

Hi Maddie and Ellie, Congratulations on your new home! This is so exciting! It's so fun looking at the work you did each day at the end of the day. I highly recommend a shop vac! You'll use it forever. No more stirring up dust and mold. Great for Spiders too. I have never seen anyone save a spider. Good for you! Ok, maybe I have saved a spider but mostly I save Bees. I've saved a Duck and a bat before also.

a treasure hunt inside your own house in Germany. can’t get much more fun than that!!!! enjoy every step of the way 🎉

I loved the movie Under The Tuscan Sun, watching a woman lovingly discover the beauty around her and building her life was a good reminder that our lifetimes are our story’s to write!!❤

Great to see no spiders were harmed during the making of this video 😀

I can only imagine the amount of work you're doing that doesn't make it on camera. Seriously, kudos for taking this on with the sensitivity to keep the soul of the house intact. Looking forward to seeing the end result. Good luck and stay safe!

Just found your channel today. I like your content I'll be looking forward to seeing you make the new home yours! ❤🎉

I'm looking forward to watching this all unfold. And I appreciate your choice about what you choose to expound upon and what you don't. Boundaries, peoople.

What a Great Story. Give yourself Time It took me about two years after I came from Poland to Germany to feel here homy und speak almost Perfect German. You‘re doing great job ❤

Would luv a cost break down. On how much different prices r in Germany versus the USA. Everything from building supply to groceries to basic house hold electric, heating, water etc.

So happy for you. So many people would love to do what you are doing but don’t. I will enjoy following you down this lovely path.
