Here is my take on the adopt a star with your pension scam.
Fanny does not use any of the B&B money and YT money to renovate and restore her heap.
Projects funded with patreon monies so far:
1) down stairs loo (guesstimate of 30K including the wallpaper, fittings etc)
2) the other downstairs loo (10k)
3) marquis salon (50k)
4) heating (300k)
5) the indian structure + pergola + plants (50k)
6) the chapel (320k)
7) the grand salon (80K)
8) bathroom bon mama (5k)
9) woodburners (15K)
10) attics + insulations (20k)
A grand total of 900K.
Cuz is paid with patreon money, 120K (if he urns 5k gross per month)
1m 200K
Patreon monies 1.188.000 last 3 years.
Currently madame has 0 monies in her patreon account.
The adopt a star is a kick starter for her swimming pool project. According to my american frens (websites) a swimming pool instalation cost about 50 to $125 per square foot.
Thats €1130 per sm. The swimming pool needs to be about 11 meters by 7 = 77m² minimum for 10 guests.
77x1130= €87K
But madame does not want a normal swimming pool, no it will be fancy one with a waterfall + outdoor kitchen + wooden pool beds x10. There you have it. The 200K for adopt a star.
The swimming pool is a wish from baghead and potts but it also allows SJ to have even more free time during the summer, since her guests will have something else to do then asking for her.
Gooder confirmed that my brilliant idea will be used to put gites arround the swimming pool (more cash for the lady). So depending on how many gites there will be, the size of the pool and cost will increase).
My guesstimate is that she will start the swimming pool project after summer 2024. The guestimate of chatgpt to build a swimming pool of 77m2 is 6 to 12 weeks.
If the gite building starts at the same time, by summer 2025 she has the swimming pool and gite(s) if she goes for prefab gites which will cost about 200K per gite.
There you have it 200k for swimmingpool + 200k for gite (the 10 months of patreon monies)
SJ/baghead/potts might even loan the association money to build more than 1 gite. So they will have a faster ROI.
This would also be their first spending which would make money by itself.
