Snorts had better not sit too close to those fire-starter window mirrors! His dried-out, frizzy hair would go up in flames in minutes!Fanny better ensure her fire insurance premiums are paid in full......

Regarding the internal shutters. To have mirror in them to reflect light is a nice idea. However my concern is sun light can be dangerous by reflecting the sun's rays and causing fires. Please be careful with this idea.

Yes I had the sun through a window pane burn the surface of a wooden cabinet in my house. If the mirror is sufficiently distressed or antiqued it may be okay.

YES! We had a local fire about 2 years ago caused by sunlight through a prism in a living room..

These are excellent points that I hadn’t considered. Luckily we’d already decided on distressed mirrors (not for that reason), which should help, but I’ll certainly look into it carefully
Thread nom.Only at Lala-lande would we see Amaury, the panelling professional, waiting table for Philip, the waiter, and the waiter supposedly planning the panelling installation
I would not be surprised if Fanny has already purchased new paneling for the salon and will spring it on viewers with a video revealing her “special find” that would be just paaaaarfect for the salon. Then the other paneling will be installed in her bedroom. I think Fanny is just messing around with the Patrons by filling up videos for content around the paneling. She has nothing to film so she is desperately coming up with all these elaborate grand salon paneling videos. Then, she will be like “never mind, we have new paneling or Amaury will create paneling for the grand salon.“
She has pulled these stunts before, dragging out the pond issues, the chapel restorer fiasco, the heating, the gardens, etc.
Unless Amaury was sent by Isabelle/Chantal to get rid of Pheeph, which I think is quite possible. Amaury was performing this on the heat infrastructure video, I think -- saying how nice it would be to make the shitoo completely sustainable, as if he meant to live there forever. I'm betting l'il man is there to stay, without Pheeph, and with or without Nati, and is abetting Fanny in her plan to oust the Dutch waiter/Heap Hooker.
It did make me laugh how she thought she found a hidden gem, everyone knows architectural digest dress the rooms, they probably moved into the room for the shoot, it will only make her happy for a few weeks, then she will move onto something else, it’s like the panelling, look how happy she was when it arrived she was practically squirting over it, now she’s discarded it to her personal assistant.
Lalande was valued (market value) before Potts made his 10% investment (October 2020?). At the time, S J said on camera - acting all surprised, mystified why the crumbling heap of decrepitude had not appreciated - the valuation of 890,000€ was exactly the same as the purchase price they had stumped up (way overpriced at the time, even in a "bouyant market"). It's highly doubtful - in fact, it's inconceivable - that two years on a current valuation would show any uplift. No return on the initial investment and monies ploughed in before YouTube and the Patreon coffers started jingling. Nothing. Not "a mark, a yen, a buck or a pound" (thank you, Cabaret!).
Perhaps Mr. Larkin has finally seen the light. Perhaps there'marital pressure. Perhaps he's in a financial hole. Whatever, I hope he tosses the paper bag into the moat and legs it.
I could be wrong, but IMHO, Fanny may be setting Sir Snorts a Lot up for a fall, making him accountable or responsible for any bad decisions that she makes that he endorses or any bad advice from him that she follows. Fanny has been playing this game for decades, she knows what she is doing. Snorts is just a young idiot that won’t know what has hit him when she lowers the hammer on him and he is shown the door of the Dump at some point. And Fanny will come across as the poor little orphan princess who was taken advantage of unfairly and through no fault of her own since she is so trusting and naive and no one protected her like Daddy Derek would have done.
Can’t you see her now talking about how much money she has lost or things that have been ruined due to her unwavering loyalty towards Sir Snorts a Lot, while sitting in front of a Daddy Derek pervert painting and drinking brandy, wiping fake tears off her face. Patrons could help her by replacing all the monies she has wasted so she could start over again.
Who could resist Snoopy?O.M.G! @Jules100 I am so honoured. Being a relative newbie I never dare to ask. I am speechless, it was so unexpected to find it here as I was catching up on tattle. Thank you so much. You are a true talent and a treasure. Cheers to you, bottoms upps. that there is 2 jugs of Millar Lite.
Yes, €18.000 and see what they're doing, her and the Great Snorting Designer/Decorator/Architect with decades of experience and academic studies. Vandals!!!
Have been snooping here and thought Jules was on to something with those tiles? We'll see... Those two are having as many 'manifestations' as FRKI think No Manners and Fakers have rebranded their total loser encaustic tile workshop as a creative reawakening workshop, where you take pictures on your Iphone and turn them into some kind of encaustic summer camp tat souvenir -- at €2299 a pop.

And the piece will never be in better condition than the day she purchased it. At this point, the condition of the piece will only deteriorate, and we all know that Fanny does not take care of her possessions, the animals, her cars, or the Dump. It is just another folly that Fanny has thrown grifted money away to purchase. Now Fanny will have a photo on her phone of her purchase and a story that she will repeat for years.And that is all that really matters to her.
No, it's that time of the year when we have to brace for Steph starting to work on the advent calendar.
I actually feel like starting the summer tattvent calendar of unfinished projects:

I wonder if the South African investor is mummy and perhaps the Richmonds are working out some type of deal where they buy into the Dump or that Amaury would receive a portion of the Dump if he agrees to stay and run and repair the property for several years. Amaury would be the adult and Fanny could run and play and travel without responsibilities.
Quart into a pint pot, I thought the ceilings are too low in the Grand Salon so they will have to be cut ?
Also width wise they cannot simply fit. Snorts will work it out with his Pythagoras math and extensive knowledge of ALL THINGS historic !!!!
If Fanny ever spoke with BillyP I'm positive that he could have pointed her towards a nearly identical dupe of equal age for less than €1000 and in original condition. Spending extra €6000 just for something that came out of a dead man's boudoir in dubious condition is ignorance. She spends for the sake of spending, I think.
Edit... @graciemckitten , great minds!

They have always reminded me of another Phillip and Stephanie.First one is a goodie: Philip, work in progress
If Larkin is even slightly smart, he should grab the chance to get out of the Shittoo Shitshow run by the little orphan princess. He now owns only 40%, he will be outvoted by Potts and Fanny on everything. Fannys family has over run the Dump and claimed most every structure as their own. Their joint friends are aging out of the Shittoo debauchery weekends. He has had all the fun he can at the Dump, he found his wife there.
Fanny is getting more and more entitled and selfish daily. When the money grab ends, she will continue to wildly spend money and he would end up having to support her again. 17 years of that stress is enough. Fanny has screwed up most everything she has done at the Dump, and most of her purchases are for furniture, china, etc., that she can take with her when she flees the premises. The buildings are decaying daily from lack of long term upkeep and restoration.
He has a chance to grow up, save his marriage, get a small portion if the monies he has invested in the dump returned, and get away from his “best friend” who sucks all of his time, energy, and money and focus on his own family and future.
I hope he takes the chance to leave the Shittoo behind. If he doesn’t, he may be playing video games alone in his Shittoo cottage for years while Fanny travels and leaves him handling and paying for the maintenance, taxes and not pretty things. I think Marie has seen the writing on the wall and wants out of the Dump and it’s lifestyle.
Scrap these tiles Jules it’s time for a breaking news live from the tiki hut. Drag Stephanie
