In Australia if there is storm damage or an unexpected damage to your roof, we cover it with tarpaulins (large waterproof sheets) until the repair is made. It keeps the water out while you are waiting. I hope this information helps you, water damage in the walls can cause dangerous black mould to grow, which can make you very sick. Fingers crossed you are able to get it fixed sooner rather than later.

This reminds me of the film Under the Tuscan Sun - based on true story of a woman who buys a villa in Tuscany and all the challenges she comes up against, including getting things done with permits and other red tape. It’s really eye opening - the idyllic homes we see on film take a lot of work, money and patience to maintain! That said, I know if anyone can make it work it’s you Justine!

[hannahtabram]

You did not run away; you made a tactical retreat to regroup😊 You’ll get there in time and your home will be just as beautiful as you’d wanted!

[fauxtaux]

Yes, please! Videos from España would be appreciated. I love everything about that region - the food, the art, the architecture and especially the people. I would be delighted to learn about fashion ❤

[L.Spencer]

Amazing you can't fix your house without permits and it takes a year to get all that in order. Ridiculous, really. I'm glad you have the ability to find another place to wait it out.

[edithp.]

I’m so sorry you had to deal with that situation. It sounds so stressful and unfortunately it’s not over yet. Hoping your permits come through quickly and that the roof repair is affordable!

[dominiqueuniquenique]

I totally understand the pain of renovation. Once you find one problem, more just cascade after. One project turns into 10 projects. And finding and hiring the right people takes forever 😫. We are there right now. Good luck with your house renovation, too. It will be beautiful when completed. 🙏🏽❤️

[xiomaras]

Most people would have caved under so many problems. I probably would had had a breakdown and here you are with a smile on your face. You are amazing. So sorry for all you’re going through. Wishing you miracles along the way.

[recolletsmanoir]

You poor thing! Keep your courage and lovely smile. I completely understand with the challenges of restoration. We are on our 13th year of renovating a 400 year-old convent in central France. For many winters, we would have literal icicles in the house! That was not bad at all in comparison with other problems we faced. But, despite all, it is becoming gorgeous (and finally sort of warm enough) It is worth the wait and the inconveniences. Keep up the great work! I love your channel.

[SnowWhiteQueen]

Despite such frustrating event in your life, you manage to keep it cool and managed to storytell without any hint of bitterness. Such an amazing quality you have. That's pretty much admirable!

[jkoerner]

Would love to see a video about Spain and fashion history! I hope things start to run more smoothly for your renovation, it will be worth it in the end I’m sure!

[omamabenchelli]

Yes, please do a video about historical fashion in Spain.

I love that you're so honest about the frustration that you have faced

[MelliaBoomBot]

Yes.. I’m with a French man, we moved from Creuse to Indre last March. My partner searched and searched for houses with good roofs. Last summer was so hot for us. We now hate hot weather. Our decorating has had to be postponed over winter though to wait for a minimum of 11 degrees night for the paint to dry! …and we still have boxes everywhere 😩

[nostalgiacountry]

I deeply empathize with this since I've always struggled with old-Europe-charm houses. Your calm, positivity and irony are always so refreshing and empowering!

[yfc]

Hang in there Justine. You will survive this and come out stronger. I can’t believe the amount of stress you’ve been going through. When things calm down a bit, would love to see your journey on how you manage stress and still ended up with such a productive period in work. Best of luck - we’re all rooting for you.

[indiabilly]

What a nightmare, you are so reasonable and calm about all the setbacks, I would have melted under the stress xx

[patriciacinea]

Hope your not dealing with mold now. Its terrible when we purchase property with unknown underlying issues. I am certain you will get the renovations done and that home in France will be magnificent. Staying tuned.

[sunaikim]

Dear Justine~Thank you for being so honest about your house situation! Most people just show how wonderful their lives are but you are always so true and logical!!
You will get through this! I know you will 😊 ! Take care and good luck ❤

[ewelamela]

Dear Justine, I really admire you! You are a very strong and patient person. I am sure sooner or later everything will be resolved! keep us posted 😊I love your vlogs and life’s approach!

[annwitek]

You can do this, Justine! Over wintering in Spain never sounds like a bad idea and you have the fortitude to see your dream reno to its conclusion...
