EPISODE 124 - Building our roof during France’s worst heatwave was never the plan… but sometimes restoration work simply can’t wait. In today’s vlog, Amaury begins fixing the first wooden beams for the garage roof restoration at our 200-year-old farmhouse in rural France. It is a huge milestone for this old stone building, but it also happens during one of the heaviest heatwaves France has seen in more than 20 years. While the roof work continues, Nati spends time in the garden, we welcome Emma for a lovely visit and show her our porcelain collection, and we introduce Mollie to her very first paddling pool. She's never been very confident around water, so we're hoping this is the beginning of a new adventure for her! Join us for another week of DIY renovation, farmhouse restoration, gardening, countryside life and the small moments that make this journey so special. Let’s build something beautiful, together. 👉 Don’t forget to subscribe and turn on the bell so you never miss an episode of our farmhouse renovation series — new vlogs every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 7:30 PM (French time)! ☕ Want to support our renovation journey?

The shot of Mollie burying her head in Amaury's chest while cooling in the water was so precious...complete trust! It was another lovely video Nati! Thank you!
Kudos to Molly for trusting her humans and going into the pool. She obviously loves you very much. ❤
Naty no reason to apologize ❤we all have the endless list that never gets completely done.
I am so happy you guys got the Aircon unit when you did. It is installed and the three of you are happy and comfortable in your little Casita.
Thanks Nati and Amaury 🥹👏🏽 Have a nice weekend!
Emma is such a lovely kind lady.
The Wedgewood service is lovely; very tasteful!
Everyone should have a friend like Emma! Thank you for another lovely video. ❤ I hope the heatwave breaks tomorrow and you all get some relief!
Beautiful Family, Beautiful Day at Lalas! The flowers and the Garage roof beams look good. Hugs to all
Such precision carpentry is wonderful to behold. The garage is coming along even in the heat and your gardening is lovely Nati.
Hi from Australia, I use the foam packing in the bottom of my pot plants as it help with drainage and makes the pots lighter to move.
Amaury reminds me of my late father. My dad had a great work ethic, always had the right tools, and could fix or make anything.
That partitioned, compound beam is a masterful piece of work. Kudos to you, Amaury. Also, Nati, the refreshing little pool will really be useful this summer for all of you, but Molly's expression when she first went in!
You both make a dynamic duo, and Molly is hilarious. She wanted you two to get in the puddle pad 😂 God bless all three of you 🥰🐕🫶🙏
So beautiful to see Molly on the little pool
Please Do NOT put that ivy in the ground. Invasive
You have "green fingers" Nati...perhaps that means Amaury has "wooden" fingers 🤌 you both certainly have blossoming talents all over Lilas. All those little touches bring your new homestead to life. Hello dear Mollie, have fun in the water ❤ Evelyn x
Molly is so sweet and I love how patient and tender you both are with her. The way her tail started to wag again after she got settled in the little pool with the two of you was so cute.
Nice progress! Hope Molly learns to enjoy her splash pad
OMG! Molly is so cute. We had two dogs, brother and sister. She loved the water, he hated it! 😊
