The Patron vlog is up, so grab a libation of your choice, sit down and buckle up because Fanny has provided an update on the heating!!!

Fanny & Snorty are driving in the car at night. They've been off visiting Chateau Chantilly (only 4.5 hours away north of Paris) on a day trip!!! So if we believe that codswallop, then how much are we to believe Fanny's heating tale? Snorty is driving and Fanny decides to 'pop in' and cheerily provide a bit of an update on the heating, because apparently, people have been asking.

- It is very complex
- I'm not speaking about it because I don't feel that if I have a platform that reaches many thousands of people, I should use that to talk about any issues that I may be having with contractors who are working for me. I don't think it's the place to talk about it and I don't think it's the way of dealing with things.
- I want to let you know that we having mainly administrative difficulties - administrative difficulties on the side of the Gas Board who have to sign off on the boiler room.
- So, from our point of view Amuary, has said he's not doing any more work to the boiler room until the Heating Engineer can give him very clear instructions about exactly how he needs it finished
- The Heating Engineer doesn't know how he wants it finished
- The Heating Engineer is waiting to hear from the Gas Board and the Gas Board are saying they can't say how they want it finished until they have the specs from the Plasterboard manufacturers
- The Plasterboard manufacturers are saying they can not give the specs because it's not something they do - it's just our plasterboard.
- The Heating Engineer has asked me to employ a lawyer and sort out the situation
- So we're in a bit of a circular situation right now - we're in a bit of a stalemate - and everyone is looking at everyone else saying can you give me what I want to carry on but no one can
- We're still very much on good terms with the Heating Engineer and we're trying to help him move forward with it
- So we're going to get there bit by bit
- We've had cold winters before and we can have another cold winter
- The important thing is that we finally get the heating in
- So that's the situation as it is at the moment and when we can move forward I'll let you know

Bullshiet! If this is what was causing the delays she would have clarified along the way as things progressed, or more precisely, didn't progress. But instead she has completely ignored the works, or lack thereof, in the hope the audience will do the same and now has been forced to come up with something because too many Patreons were raising questions. I'm sure she thought she will distract with the glitz and glam of the chapel works to appease the crowd and buy herself another year of doing duck all.

How about all the other abandoned works, never to be mentioned again? Or all of the works done arse to front which undoubtedly have to be redone? She used to make videos dedicated solely to updates about reno, now it's crickets and Snorts. Where are the accounts?

I haven’t seen the Patreon vlog but I suspect that because of the size of the boilers they fall into a commercial installation rules/code. And as such the boiler must be separated from any buildings. A purpose built plant room if you like and Nathan hasn’t done this hence the argument involving the fire resistance of plasterboards. Everything needs to be moved and will cost a fortune.

That sounds just like anything else Fanny touches to be fair. No research, no oversight, no accountability. Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss.

Where did Fanny order the plaserboard from bleeping TEMU!

She's shopped in the Temu aisle for boyfriends, so why not plasterboard?
Didn't she say she liked to penny pinch where she can so she can splurge where she wants to? We know where she likes to splurge and it's not on contractors' work.

I liked the tour around the chateau and the history of its final owner. Fanny actually behaved quite professionally. Then she started showcasing yet another guest dinner, poor dog handling segment so I decided to skip to nearly the end. Was it just me or did anyone else do the same and wonder why Fanny, Snorts and Ratso 2 were each wearing a tea cosy?

Fanny is due to put out another vlog about how she needs floor tiles for the chapel. I am guessing she will need to momentarily discard her designer wardrobe and wear garments out of her "thrift bag". I would not be surprised to see her wearing the umbrella hat, the knitted tea cosy. an Emmaus dress and Nati's two left boots when she goes on the beg.

That would probably make a flog worth watching 🤣

Snorts is praised for not spending €150 euros on a book, yet they spend ??? On petrol driving for nine hours, a lunch, and how many soup plates that definitely cost more than €150 .

If Snorts is doing the editing why does he leave the less flattering shots of himself in? He looks more in love with those soup plates than he does Fanny.

Why does Fanny get people to feel sorry for her and also to do her chores, it’s like she is a weakling or not quite all there.

No editor in the world can get a flattering shot of that flat head freak

To those who are in pain , suffering or even having a birthday!
A two minute collage all from the gaahden. My garden . I am no artist just showing the variety possible from a small surburban garden!

That / those grounds at the dump could be amazing as we all know. Instead, after a couple of years the weeds are taking over and she is struggling to get and keep garden help.

The inmates will be migrating soon, who will be back to babysit Snorts?
