I highly recommend getting a professional cleaner to come in and clean everything when the building is done. Also running an air purifier to get rid of dust in the air.
We have an air purifier and run it all the time. Also highly recommend
I keep a screenshot of a random facebook comment on my phone in my “funny” folder of someone explaining how they passed gas, their dog got up and left, and their older air purifier sped up and eventually broke after a few minutes. Now every time I see something about an air purifier I think of this and it brings me joy 🥹
That being said, love the idea of getting a professional cleaner to come in after. Very smart!
Great idea re purifier and cleaner 😊
1000% agreed -- I also remember when we did reno, it felt like the dust stuck to the walls themselves so worth waiting a day or two before the deep clean so that all the dust sets. But a deep clean before moving back in is a must.
Deli it’s so sweet you have snacks and little area for the tradies to come in and enjoy. That hospitality is surely appreciated and I think in return they will absolutely make sure they do a great job with your home 🥹
The fact the dishwasher's name is _Obi-Wan Cleanobi_ is *_HILARIOUS!_*
😅
@@Delidiary I don't doubt James _loves_ that name given it's _Star Wars_
Workers in your home are still guests in your home, I'm sure they'll appreciate your considerations.
Never hired contractors before, have you? 😏
@@maidenminnesota1 I've never hired contractors myself, but I live in an apartment and whenever the maintenance team needs to work inside my place I try to always clean the house up, provide water, that kind of thing. :D
@@maidenminnesota1what’s that supposed to mean?
James “thank god” on the furniture 😂😂😂
LOVE the idea of framing the old cupboard paper. Could you even make some fun coasters or something if you add resin?
uhh coasters are a great idea!
I love how creative people can get with resin! Coasters are an awesome idea, maybe add a cork bottom so they don't slide around 😊
Yes Deli you have to do this!
Mr Fox looks like the weird bugged out foxes that elongate and talk in the Sims😆
OMG 🤣 he does!
LMAO 😂
It absolutely is a nice thing to do! It doesn’t matter if you’re paying someone, you should still be grateful for their work, considerate for their time, and respectful. I think it’s awesome that you got them sacks and toiletries.
Absolutely!!
I love these vlogs! Of course Deli (and James') Sims content is great but I really love watching them just be themselves and the more daily life vlogs. Been watching them both since the Sims 3 days :)
Me too! I’m so thankful they share the vlogs with us. I feel like we are all friends 🥹 I have also been watching since TS3 days
Glad you like them!
Deli and James doing a Sims reno in real life is next level Simming 😍. Happy for you both!! I can't wait to see everything when it's finished ❤.
❤
As someone in the trades, it’s always such a relief knowing I actually have somewhere I can use the restroom and eat my lunch. It’s so nice not having to eat in my car where I feel like a zoo animal. So very thoughtful of you to consider that!
"Did anyone do that as a kid?" YES! i still do it and I'm 21 years old lol
The best!
I would put away the cushions on the outdoor furniture or cover with a drop cloth. The workers will be covered in paint, dust, etc.
You need to bloom the matcha will!
I love the above and beyond you and James have gone to for your renovators and protection for yourselves and them at the same time. I hope this becomes a mostly positive experience for you after all this effort.
I love hearing the aussie terms for things. Here in scotland that type of washing line is called a whirligig!
That’s so cute!
@@laura-xe5le our Aussie terms are hilarious 😂😂
We're boring in teh States. It's just a clothesline, lol
In Dutch its called een droogmolen😊
As an American this is my formal petition to call a clothesline a whirligig from now on
I as a swede grew up having that kind of clothing dryingrack in our backyard. Had no idea it was a aussie invention. Have memories of having to check the clothes hanging on it as a child/teenager & having to pick down the clothes if it started to rain before my parents come home. It was a very good invention plus your clothes always smelt fresh after hanging outside to dry. My Barbies also got to go on wild rides on it. 😳😅😂
Was also gonna say this! I thought it was a swedish thing 😅
Your Barbie’s are very lucky! 😂 I love them. I wish we had space at home for one. There’s a game in Australia called “the wheel of fortune” where you hang “goon bags” (wine bags) on it with pegs. It gets spun and if it lands on you, you have to drink 😂
I love the idea of putting the old cupboard paper in tiny pictures frames in the new kitchen
So glad you are finally getting your desired renovations started!
If you are looking to get a good froth from your Matcha, consider using a more traditional bowl that has a wider bottom, if you don’t have one you can use a small soup bowl, you will be able to make your W shapes a bit wider and more vigorously.
Some more tea tips I learned working at Teavana for four years: try an oolong tea if you have an upset stomach or are feeling full (I love to cold steep a jasmine oolong and keep in the fridge), and if you’re having menstrual cramps, try a Sakura tea (a cherry tea).
Oh, and if you find out that you bought crap Matcha, you can make a thick paste and apply to a sunburn to help remove redness, or use as a red reducing face mask!
Ah thanks for the tips! Very helpful
Fran is still a baby. She's going to make a few boo boos. Renovations can be tough! I hope you guys don't run into any issues. Good luck with all the renos.
Can I say as someone who has worked in trades. I LOVE how much consideration you have for the tradies! Here (USA) that is not at all the case!! Makes me adore you even more!!😊
As a well traveled American I have never heard the name "toot" so thank you for that.
As a West Aussie, I’ve never heard it called the ‘toot’ either.
@@igamarurbytesKath and Kim reference 😅
@@Delidiary ahhh gotcha. Unfortunately i'm the only Aussie who really doesn't like that show.
I love the contrast from Deli and James.
Just by Deli's calmess it doesn't even look like the same houses 😂😂😂😂
I'm really excited to see the fully renovated kitchen!
omg the snacks and treats for the tradies ❤❤❤ and leaving out lounging spaces for them too. you are adorably sweet.
I hope you're pre-wetting and soaking the matcha whisk with hot water so it softens the bristles. Otherwise it can cause potential fraying. That's the advice that was given to me as well! Passing it on to you!
Also putting your matcha through a sieve so it gets rid of any clumping that may have formed. There are small drink sieves you can get for drinks like matcha and coffee so you aren't using a larger one.
Part of an authentic tea ceremony is warming up the bowl with hot water. Pouring it out, then drying it so you don't have matcha just sticking to random sides of your bowl. Don't quote me on the next part but I believe that warming up the bowl is to help with the matcha as well. If you warm up the bowl first then the water going in next won't be brought down by the temp of the bowl.
Marukyu Koyamaen is also a type of matcha I've come to appreciate very much. It's usually my go-to a lot of the time. It's so good. (It usually comes in a green tin.)
I love how kind and appreciative you and James are towards each other. Surely a reason why you two are so happy together and have such a solid relationship. ❤
I really enjoy this series..thank you.
LOG when everything deli says is Australian is also in England!🐶
i’m only halfway through but had to comment on how much i love the flawless transition from back splooting in the 90s recliner to getting up and continuing the tour with Frannie’s current toy and the rest of the home. Iconic.
😂
Your vlogs truly make my days better! They are so relaxing and calming and I have been really enjoying seeing these renovation vlogs! :) so excited to see more!
It’s so nice that you take care of the workers, I know they appreciated it so much!
I did not realise how much was going into this renovation. I can't wait to follow along for updates :)
Btw love all the things you left for the tradies, too, so kind.
I can’t wait for more renovation content! It would be cool to take like a circle cutout of those 3 different cabinet papers and frame them together as an art piece.
i love your vlogs so much, no influencer has hooked me with their life-style content, except you! you don't try to be perfect for the camera, just being yourself, and showing your home as it is, so realistic and refreshing to see, thank you!
framing the wallpaper is such a good idea! so sentimental :”)
Loveeee renovation content ❤️ Thanks for including us in the process 🥰
We built our house from an empty lot and took all kinds of pictures to create a photo book of the process. It was a bit stressful, but so worth it. I recommend taking lots of pictures and possibly creating a photo book to put on the coffee table for something visitors can look at when they visit.
Edit: I love matcha. In fact, I had a cup this morning instead of a coffee :). FYI there is a ceremonial grade and a culinary grade. The better quality for drinking is the ceremonial grade and the culinary grade is for cooking and adding to smoothies and stuff.
70’s papers on shelfs etc are such a vibe! Awesome to save it for framing🤩
Right?!
I love watching vlogs and home revnos so I'll be loving these vlogs. My husband and I just bought our first home in December 2023 and waiting for renos till we have more money saved. However we live in what we Americans call a trailer in a trailer park. So our renos will be much smaller, and hopefully not to expensive? Our plans are painting all the rooms (Livingroom is already painted as a gift from my parents) new kitchen counters and cabinets a new counter top (or bench top as you call it) tearing up the carpets in the 2 bedrooms. And probably new flooring.
Exciting! Best of luck when you’re ready to do the Reno.
The pantry paper would be so cute made into drink coasters!
glad to hear you've got a good setup for the time being! Thanks for both tours!!!
I grew up/live in Washington State, USA. We also had one of those clothes lines. It was so mesmerizing to watch the clothes go round and round.
Franie's Mr. Fox toy reminds me of the glitchy foxes in cottage living 😂
😂😂😂
You guys are just the nicest people, you have hearts of gold ❤ hope the reno goes well!!!
Thank you so much, hope it goes well!
you're really looking like deli, the one we know, and better yet - you're more expressive again . love to see you spring back to life, i know that was a really bumpy road.
It’s so interesting to see you guys moving out of your home for a renovation. I feel like most of us in the US just stay in our home while it’s being renovated - and just make do with noise, dust, and construction!
I imagine some of the decision had to do with working and recording at home is both of their jobs. It could be crazy making or impossible to work around construction noise for two and a half months.
Yeah it’s certainly a work focused consideration. We wouldn’t be able to film much. We also don’t have a lounge room, dining or kitchen so that would be a bit hard only having bedrooms left. But you’re right in that people manage and make do too.
So exciting! Love the temporary house, its beautiful and huge! Enjoy your stay!
Thanks for the matcha demostration, I have never try it.
Take care guys! I love you! 🤗
Those hill hoists are called laundry spiders in German 😂 genius invention indeed! Love from Germany
Oh wow! 😂 love the names
When our dog Baxter got in the bad habit of biting wood the only thing that detered him was putting a thin film of something spicy on the area. He only did it on one certain thing and he never did it again after the spice treatment. You do not need much just a tiny dab. We used tobasco sauce. Great vlog guys.
Ive found squirting lemon juice or vinegar on the wood can also stop them! Cheeky pups! ❤❤
It's so surreal to see how far your home has come. I remember watching when you moved in and saying you couldn't wait to get the kitchen redone and now here you are. Its coming to pass!!! Congratulations and I'm excited to see how it turns out. Also, thanks for sharing the journey as always. I watch HGTV and always see the building aspect but never the persons actually moving everything out and all they go thru. But you're handling it very well. I drink Matcha Tea too, but I use oakmilk and a frother instead. For me, the oats make it more creamier which I enjoy.
Thank you :) oat milk sounds nice
It's a good idea to soak the matcha whisk in warm water for a few minutes before you use it. It softens the bristles and helps it last longer!
Thanks!
Usually not a big fan of vlogs but yours are amazing, I always look forward to them 😄
Yay! Thank you!
I’m an American living in China for 6+ years now, we don’t have a dishwasher or convection oven in our kitchen- just a small toaster oven! It’s been a big adjustment to what I grew up with
I remember watching a random video of yours years ago before you and James were together. You said very causally "I'll never own a house they're so expensive" and I rem thinking, I totally think she will one day. ❤
❤️🙏🏻
Omg deli as soon as you said you got toot paper my head was at "affirmative to toot paper doll" hahaha
I can't wait to see the new kitchen and Deli are you wearing new merchandise and the renovation reminds me of The Block. I am like James and Deli i can't live without the sims
You’re already a pro matcha maker! I’d recommend soaking your bamboo whisk in some warm water first before using it, if you have an expensive one. It helps to keep it in better quality therefore prolonging its life! I’m gonna have to checkout that matcha brand you’re using, it looks amazing 😊🍵
Deli saving the paper in the cabinets to frame is such a girl thing to do and I love it!! 🥰😄 They will look so cute framed! You have to show us what you do with them and how you display them! Also that was so sweet of you to buy that stuff for the workers ☺
Any time any of the workers come into my home to do anything or outside work, for sure it's always nice to give a little something for them to munch on! It's always a nice gesture!
So nice to see all what's going on. Your Vlogs make me feel very good with doing the same kind of tasks. Thank you! Also my mom and I are wanting to try the Matcha tea together now... so, again thank you! Oh, and my mom says not to be anxious about filming what you are doing because you're doing so great at it! I absolutely agree!
That is awesome! Thank you! Hope you enjoy the matcha. It’s a little different at first!
These videos are so soothing. I always watch through the last 10-15 seconds of blurred out-tro footage just 'cause I dont want the video to end. More vlogs please 🙏 ❤
I hope you all enjoy your little home away from home. Being able to see the ocean?! That must be beautiful. Maybe we can see a pic when y’all “move out”
If the actual paper from the old kitchen cabinets is too difficult to work with, you can always take a nice photo graph of it and bring it into whatever digital editing software you use and make a print that can be saved and fine tuned to be exactly what you want 🖤
Wow, I am early! I love that you document everything
Omg Deli that matcha is SO green I love it!! ❤❤❤ It makes me feels the same way and just feels like a smooth energy without the jumpiness or anxiety! Glad I’m not the only one.
And now for a tip! If you happen to turn it into a latte, add the flavoring to the warm match liquid before the milk? If I add a touch of rose syrup it almost like..blooms? In the tea? It makes a huge difference 😊
Oh, I have one of those switches! I use it for my personal PC and my work computer! Such a great invention. Can't wait to see how your kitchen turns out!
I'm so excited for you and to see the outcome of your renovation! thanks for including us in that journey, deli. :) greetings from austria
i am so glad to see such frequent vlogs!! excited for new chapter of yours and future brand new kitchen 🫢🎉
Wow! 10 weeks? That sounds like a major renovation!
Exciting you're getting it done! Lovely you're a good host to them!
Deli, just over a year ago I commented on the video of you and James in Noosa saying how Australia was a dream of mine to visit. Well now I'm actually here from Canada, living in Australia for the next year! Weird to think I actually recognize all the snacks you're leaving for the tradies. Such a nice gesture for you guys to do, I'm sure they'll really appreciate it.
Good luck with all the renovations! Such an exciting time! Maybe if lucks on my side I'll run into you and James when I travel through Melbourne! Haha
I climbed the stairs like that for way longer than I care to admit! 😅😂
I love that you call the "hills hoist" a genius australian invention!! We have a bunch of them in the Netherlands too and my grandma has one that dates back to the 1920s
Love the Vlogs you and James are amazing!
the tiles of the outdoor area are gorgeous
I was surprised to learn a Hills Hoist is an Aussie invention. They're extremely common here in Sweden - where we call them "torkvinda", which is roughly translated to "dry-reel"
the stop pause and reflect is also a big part of British tea... Like when we have time!! lol but yeah its why we run to it in any emergency or stress ... lets put the kettle on .... I'll make you a cuppa ... etc ...
True! Brits have a lovely tea culture
That pattern is also very Florida in the 1980’s style! My grandma had a giant sectional with that pattern! Very nostalgic ☺️ 12:20
Love that!
💕 swinging on the clothes line…great memories 😂
Can’t wait for the next vlog Deli 😊
I love how real you guys are 😭
If you ever want to get a sticker off something, you can try a heat gun to soften the glue. It is often used to get labels off of jars for reuse.
Some houses in Germany had those spinning clothing drying racks too when I was growing up! Fun fact, in German, we call it a “Wäschespinne”, which literally translates to “laundry spider”.
I love Deli vlogs! So cozy and relaxing. My gramma in the states had one of those outdoor washing lines. I haven’t thought about it in years!!
Its always exciting for me when I see the progress in you guys story and then seeing it again in the progress vlog!
OMG the Spinhoist (?) thingy is so popular in Germany too! WE call them "Wäschespinne" which can be translated into laundry spider but also "spinnen" can mean rotating so it could also mean laundry spinner🤭
I love this channel Deli.. thank you.❤
Wow you are sooooo sweet and courteous to set all that up for the tradesman ❤
Great idea to frame the old lining paper! I love that so much.
We had a clothes rack like that when I lived in New England. We called it a whirly-gig. We were excited when we moved to a home that had one. Used it exactly once. When it came time to bring the clean laundry in, it was absolutely covered in green pollen, pine needles, and bugs. Everything went back into the washer and then was dried on a line in the basement after that. I've never understood how people used those.
You're so sweet to leave out snacks for the Tradies! ❤ You had my mouth watering with that Violet Crumble protein bar....we used to have Violet Crumble in convenience stores where I live (California) but they disappeared years ago. I have to get Crunchie bars at Cost Plus World Market if I want something similar.
This is so inspiring. Been looking for some motivation to get my house renovated and this is exactly what I needed! Thanks so much, Deli.
Oh its nice you left snacks and also bathroom stuff for the workers and good idea to come by to clean the bathroom too, I would have never thought to do that and would have probably come back 10 weeks later like oh snap LOL. Also very nice place you can stay at for the next 10 weeks, looks very comfortable 🙌💖 love your deli diaries as always, since I love lowkey vlogs
red suits you so well!!
The clothes line is a oldie but a goodie
Holy cow, I havent seen one of those "hoists" for laundry since the 70s!
Maybe you could memorialize your previous kitchen by making a CC recolor of a counter or cabinet inspired by your cupboard paper?
Love the vlogs deli!
love love loooove matcha. You and James should take a vacation to Japan I bet yall would have so much fun ❤️ and imagine the matcha haul you would return with lol
There's a tea distributor near me in the US that has several different matchas, I really should branch out but they are quite pricey--almost $50 for 40 grams. They recommend 2 grams of matcha (about a teaspoon), 80 ml of water at 170-175F (around 80C). I have a kettle with different temperature settings for tea, it sounds so bougie and unnecessary but I love it so much. Best of luck with the reno!
Feeding the tradespeople always reminds me of Lorelei in Gilmore Girls when she was getting her house renovated! Though you got better treats than pop tarts. 😂
The rental house looks very comfy. I hope you won't be sad to leave it!
