Transcripts

play00:03

play00:05

to say in front of the house but this is

play00:07

technically the back side of the house

play00:10

and yeah uh it's a different video than

play00:13

I would normally shoot and I I never

play00:16

thought I would shoot a video like this

play00:18

before but it seems like I have no other

play00:21

choice

play00:22

so um where do we start yeah I bought

play00:26

this landan in 2021 in springtime or

play00:30

yeah something and then uh in 2023 in

play00:34

November the house was finished it took

play00:35

2 and A2 years it's a big house I know

play00:39

but you know we have two kids now and a

play00:41

dog uh and I always wanted to have a big

play00:44

house so we can have enough space you

play00:47

know it's been gradually improving over

play00:49

the

play00:50

years and it was expensive yeah but we

play00:55

we felt like we made the right choices

play00:59

so uh you know I started when I started

play01:02

my YouTube channel I live in uh an

play01:04

apartment 42 square meters at hugood I

play01:08

bought m in the

play01:09

Falcon and then I I I was always a well

play01:15

I wasn't always a hardworking guy I was

play01:17

gaming a lot in the old days but I

play01:19

stopped gaming and then I brought mil

play01:20

the Falcon and I couldn't really afford

play01:23

him but I went on these nimber trips uh

play01:26

just went around Norway because I love

play01:28

driving and I made money on nimber trips

play01:31

and that could pay off millon the Falcon

play01:33

so I could keep him otherwise I would

play01:35

probably not be able to pay the the the

play01:38

loan for it and I just had a regular

play01:40

office job back then but then I was

play01:42

lucky with the timing so that uh I

play01:45

managed to build up my channel and then

play01:47

eventually we well we had a little move

play01:49

over to budha but we didn't like it so

play01:51

we moved back to Oslo and then we bought

play01:54

that house in arabu and we will stay

play01:56

there actually for I think 7 years yeah

play01:59

until we move over here but over there

play02:01

on there were several things we didn't

play02:03

like over the years like some some noise

play02:06

you know the traffic and eventually we

play02:08

wanted family and I figured out that

play02:10

it's it's a maybe not the best place for

play02:13

children to grow up grow up but over

play02:15

here yes him it is wonderful we have a

play02:19

dead end or I mean yeah there's like a

play02:21

dead end Street around here so there's

play02:23

no traffic D driving through I can walk

play02:26

Isabel and do uh with basically almost

play02:31

no cars passing by here it's a quiet

play02:34

neighborhood uh you know everything is

play02:37

so nice and tidy over here I love it the

play02:39

house also is wonderful spacious modern

play02:43

very

play02:44

efficient

play02:46

um yeah so that's just how the the stuff

play02:50

uh eventually evolved but okay some like

play02:53

many people will always

play02:55

uh I don't know

play02:58

like yell at me for for buying the pool

play03:02

but you know I've been doing the whole

play03:04

YouTube work

play03:06

for I don't know 10 11 years or

play03:10

something right yeah don't remember

play03:12

exactly when I started let's say 10 11

play03:15

years of youtubing so I gradually buil

play03:17

up my

play03:18

channel to the point where I felt like

play03:21

okay I'm I'm making good money here I'm

play03:23

working hard by making good money let's

play03:26

just get the dream house which is what

play03:28

you see behind us here

play03:30

uh and one way to convince wifey to come

play03:35

here was to get the pool I also wanted

play03:38

the pool I was more interested in the

play03:41

big well yeah the the

play03:43

insulated part garage double garage with

play03:47

uh like waterborne floor heating that

play03:51

was my thing you know my man cave but um

play03:56

yeah if we would if we wouldn't move

play03:59

here we will actually end up in a place

play04:02

in feton which is not the best location

play04:05

lo location wise it's kind of clumsy and

play04:08

also not that big lot around 500 square

play04:11

met this is 1,000 square me lot so it's

play04:14

a lot more space okay it cost more but I

play04:17

feel like this was the best choice and

play04:20

now after living here for 7 months I

play04:22

feel feel like this is you know really

play04:24

good choice I love it here and the whole

play04:28

pool you can see say uh it's pointless

play04:30

to have a pool well actually it is a

play04:32

heated pool now in the evening I could

play04:34

even take a swim days 27Β° C and also

play04:37

I've done some measurement of course the

play04:40

pool is 44,000 L according to the spec I

play04:43

asked the pools no guy big thumbs up to

play04:46

them by the way for getting everything

play04:48

done finished and if you want to raise

play04:52

the temperature of the water by 1Β° C on

play04:55

44,000 L of pool water I calculate that

play04:59

we need 50 KW hour of energy if it's

play05:02

cop1 but then since I have a heat

play05:05

pump uh I done some measurement and I it

play05:08

seems like I have Cop 4 which means that

play05:12

I need only around 12 KW

play05:15

hour know electricity to heat at the

play05:17

pool 1Β° C and 12 KW hour cost roughly 1

play05:25

in Norway during summer and sometimes

play05:27

I'm even lucky with the low price say

play05:29

low spot price so I can get away with

play05:32

almost half of that you know if I just

play05:34

try to time it but once I've heated the

play05:36

pool which I've done now then we just

play05:38

have to maintain the Heat and another

play05:40

thing I found out is that now the pool

play05:42

cover is on I have it on always it is

play05:44

for safety it is also for efficiency

play05:48

because it insulate but also reduces or

play05:51

actually almost eliminates evaporation

play05:54

and actually during daytime when the sun

play05:57

shines here I calculated that I get

play06:00

around 7 kilowatt well actually I'm not

play06:03

sure but I'm guessing around 7 kilowatt

play06:06

of heat and I was seeing that the pool

play06:08

even heats up during the daytime when

play06:10

the sun shines there so when I talk

play06:13

about the whole whatever we need uh on

play06:15

sunny days we might need even less than

play06:19

that to maintain the heat in the yeah

play06:22

okay okay okay I measure that the heat

play06:24

loss I mean how I tried to shut down the

play06:28

the heat the pool uh heating for 24

play06:31

hours and it was even raining during

play06:34

that time and semic cold at night and so

play06:36

on and I lost how many degrees cels per

play06:40

24 hours one which means

play06:44

that it would cost me maybe €1 per day

play06:48

to maintain the heat in the pool yeah so

play06:51

to all the haters out there say oh you

play06:53

know L I can't wait to see the

play06:54

electricity bill well €1 per day I'll

play06:59

take it I'll take it

play07:02

yeah but the pool and the garage and the

play07:06

house is like my reward for working my

play07:10

ass off for 10 years so I can afford

play07:13

this yeah and now there is one problem

play07:17

which is that we went overboard maybe

play07:19

with some things and many people they

play07:21

they're quick to draw conclusions and

play07:22

blame the pool always blame pool you

play07:25

know but there are lots of other things

play07:28

that CA the

play07:30

the house to you know to become more

play07:33

expensive for example I did not foresee

play07:35

that the municipality would charge me

play07:39

250k Nook or let's let's say around

play07:42

€25,000 for some kind of connection fee

play07:45

to the sewer system and the whatever

play07:48

like huh till coings are whatever they

play07:51

call it no and and also the uh what is

play07:55

again the fee for applying for building

play07:58

or whatever huh quarter million nuk just

play08:01

for that huh really and then okay the

play08:05

price but the pool you know from pools

play08:07

at and know the supply they had one

play08:08

price okay fair and square but then you

play08:10

also had to add pricing for digging and

play08:13

some kind of whatever you know and the

play08:15

big the shed and some of the other stuff

play08:18

okay that added up but it's not only the

play08:20

pool that blew the budget we have sigal

play08:24

kitchen that cost 350k nuk you know 1/3

play08:29

of a mill Nook or in Euros

play08:33

30,000 um maybe we don't need that

play08:37

because I've been using the kitchen for

play08:38

6 months and we could have done it just

play08:41

fine with an Ikea kitchen that c cost

play08:43

half of that Ikea they actually have

play08:45

pretty good stuff I just wanted Sig doll

play08:49

because that's what they offered you

play08:50

know they had the package and they say

play08:52

okay we offer you Sig doll kitchen but

play08:54

if you don't want sigal kitchen they

play08:56

have to deduct something from the what

play08:58

they were okay wait for S down but on

play09:00

hindsight maybe I should have gone for

play09:02

Ikea instead I could have saved maybe

play09:04

100 150k nuke there right and then the

play09:08

heated and insulated garage well guess

play09:10

what I haven't actually used the the

play09:13

garage heating that much at all because

play09:18

yeah some of the circumstance but just

play09:19

going to keep the story short but the

play09:22

heat the garage with floor with water

play09:24

born floor heating whatever that is also

play09:27

connected to the har of the house also

play09:29

costus 700,000 Nook extra you know and

play09:33

also the house you see now it's nice

play09:35

white but you can probably see that the

play09:37

shed and the garage has a slightly

play09:39

different tint than the house initially

play09:41

the house also had that yellowish the

play09:44

the prepainted panels on the house was

play09:47

so thin that it's supposed to last only

play09:49

2 years before you repaint the whole

play09:51

house and we were like huh is supposed

play09:53

to be like this yeah you could almost

play09:55

see the wood stuff through that thin

play09:58

paint so we paid extra around 100,000 no

play10:01

around €10,000 extra to get them to

play10:04

paint the whole house and now the house

play10:06

is good for at least 15 years before we

play10:09

have to do something so I felt like I

play10:11

made the right decisions and I invested

play10:14

in the right things during the building

play10:16

process but that meant blowing the

play10:19

budget and the only way to get the house

play10:22

done and you know with the bank and so

play10:24

on was that Aus would then give me this

play10:28

private loan to me it was around 1 thou

play10:30

1.4 million Nook around €130,000

play10:34

and okay around Christmas hours around

play10:38

Christmas time I managed to pay down

play10:41

them in some big chunks around 100K 100K

play10:44

Nook as I paid 300,000 Nook on that loan

play10:47

but

play10:48

then New Year came and then we were

play10:52

still missing some basic stuff in the

play10:54

house like some shower walls and and

play10:58

some uh uh

play11:00

Ikea what you call it wardrobe and some

play11:03

other basic stuff we're still missing

play11:05

lots of stuff here we don't have

play11:06

curtains we don't have Sun blinds we

play11:08

we're lacking lots of stuff by the way

play11:10

the the balcony what you see there it

play11:12

seems unfinished because that is in um

play11:15

they call impregnated

play11:17

wood uh and you have to let it dry for 2

play11:21

years supposedly before you can paint it

play11:24

that's why it is not painted yet but it

play11:25

is supposed to be like that you know if

play11:27

you paint it now it's not good um but

play11:31

yeah so we um so after New Year we had

play11:35

some things that I felt like okay we we

play11:38

kind of need this so it was like 50k

play11:40

Nook in the shower walls and some yeah

play11:42

and the shower head whatever and then

play11:45

the uh wardrobe okay another know 50k

play11:49

Nook there uh some sun blinds in the

play11:52

bathroom uh the flas okay 20K they were

play11:55

expensive but that's okay end game we're

play11:57

not going to upgrade or do anything

play11:58

there so there's been stuff going on in

play12:01

the springtime that I had

play12:04

to decide to buy but eventually this

play12:07

summer I said stop okay we we can't just

play12:10

keep buying stuff uh we we can just live

play12:13

it live in the house like this it is

play12:15

actually perfectly fine yeah okay

play12:17

without show wall that becomes a bit

play12:19

cumbersome the water splashes all over

play12:21

the place but now it is fine it's not

play12:23

that hot so we don't really need sun

play12:26

blinds yet we can live without it it's a

play12:28

bit comfort but it still works I have

play12:30

the portable air conditioner there you

play12:33

know it's noisy but it works we have

play12:36

extreme summer maybe just two one to two

play12:39

weeks per

play12:40

year so yeah and we have some some ugly

play12:42

tinting going on there that's my

play12:44

craftmanship

play12:47

but the house works fine it's still

play12:50

wonderful to live here I love yes him it

play12:52

is um it is chill here it's not so fussy

play12:56

like Oslo uh so overall I I experienced

play13:00

that I made the right decision to move

play13:01

to yes him yeah but the problem is that

play13:05

loan to idus that okay I managed to pay

play13:08

down a chunk of it it still had around

play13:10

1.2 million Nook and it has now grown to

play13:13

be almost 1.3 million Nook because after

play13:16

first of

play13:17

May initially we started with around 10

play13:21

10% interest and then it jumped up to

play13:24

12% after New Year and but after 1 of

play13:27

May it jumped to 15%

play13:29

because they don't

play13:31

want me to have that loan and I fully

play13:35

understand but I was unable to pay in

play13:38

time I actually had no idea how to do it

play13:42

uh but I didn't want to lose the house

play13:44

because we we fought so long for the

play13:47

house for 2 and a half years plus the

play13:49

delay that idus caused it should have

play13:51

been just one and a half year that's a

play13:53

different

play13:54

story

play13:56

um and and but I feel like cannot fight

play14:00

idus and get some compensation for it's

play14:03

long it's complicated but I should have

play14:06

moved into this house one year earlier

play14:09

approximately and one year earlier in

play14:12

2022 the interest rate was not that high

play14:15

but when I sold the house in 2023 the

play14:19

interest rate was going through the roof

play14:22

lots of people didn't dare to buy when

play14:24

we had the they call it buun there when

play14:26

we sold the house there was like

play14:28

actually Tech it was an auction there

play14:30

was only one guy who was interested

play14:32

which was my neighbor all the other guys

play14:34

they didn't dare to buy it because it

play14:36

was just too much uncertainty around the

play14:39

high interest rate so the timing was

play14:41

really bad and it actually caused me to

play14:44

most likely to lose out on lots of you

play14:47

know I could get a better price if I

play14:49

sold it one year earlier that is my

play14:52

prediction you know plus that I had to

play14:54

pay for two loan the old house plus the

play14:56

new here at least the lot here you know

play14:58

and

play15:00

so unfortunately that's how it ended up

play15:03

it was out of my control wait oh the the

play15:06

light fired up

play15:08

now so yeah certain things happen in

play15:12

life that is out of your control so yeah

play15:16

that's just how it is right so I mean

play15:19

I've been trying to save money but uh

play15:22

things just kept happening and okay

play15:24

we're like okay we have to buy this but

play15:26

eventually I said stop we cannot buy

play15:28

more okay it's fine the house is fine

play15:30

but then idus email me and like yeah

play15:33

okay uh how is it going with the loan I

play15:34

said well I'm I I I can't I mean

play15:38

I can I

play15:39

cannot find I cannot win on the lottery

play15:42

I cannot find that much money yet but

play15:44

just give me time okay I know I can make

play15:46

the money because just look in the past

play15:48

like I've been buying this I've been

play15:49

buying that over the year I mean every

play15:51

almost every month and that was possible

play15:54

so I have the possibility to save money

play15:58

and get it there eventually but it just

play16:01

need some time and I've been quite

play16:02

unfortunate with some family situation

play16:05

and some other stuff lately which kind

play16:06

of makes it slightly harder for me to go

play16:09

out and make good videos that can get me

play16:13

more money so it's like a down spiral

play16:16

I'm like in a deadlock I mean like in a

play16:17

chest mate here like okay I cannot do

play16:19

anything I'm pinned down I have to shoot

play16:22

this video at night now when the kids

play16:24

are

play16:25

asleep so I have already asked ask some

play16:29

of my biggest sponsors like is there a

play16:33

possibility that you guys can loan me

play16:38

€100,000 and they said well the answer

play16:40

is most likely going to be no and I said

play16:42

yes I know but I have to give it a one

play16:44

last shot because I'm running out the

play16:47

ideas and if I don't know worst case is

play16:50

that we have to sell the house sell the

play16:53

house and we we might get 14,000 Nook

play16:57

for the house 14 sorry 14 million look

play17:00

for the house but I spend more than that

play17:02

on the house but because of their High

play17:04

interest rate nowadays people are not

play17:05

going to pay that much for the house so

play17:09

yeah which means that I

play17:12

will lose money on this house but that

play17:16

is the the last solution if idus wants

play17:19

the money ASAP then I have no other

play17:22

choice you know they pin me down against

play17:24

the wall and I can't do

play17:26

anything uh I also asked the bank but

play17:29

the bank already back then extended it

play17:31

was 10 million nuk they extended it to

play17:33

11 million Nook but then when I ask for

play17:36

more they say it's not legal to go for

play17:39

higher yeah the bank can legally not go

play17:42

that higher so I'm like well okay

play17:45

unfortunately yeah I mean I know I can

play17:47

save money because I don't drink alcohol

play17:49

I don't smoke I don't spend money on you

play17:52

know useless stuff uh I I spend the

play17:55

money wisely yeah but unfortunately

play17:59

that's the rule of the bank if the bank

play18:01

could only allow me to go 1 million more

play18:03

that would be game over I mean that

play18:05

would be yeah game over for this the

play18:07

problem and I I no problem for me to pay

play18:11

that much extra

play18:15

so I'm just explaining to you guys how

play18:17

it is and the I came up with a crazy

play18:21

idea but I was like no no no no I can't

play18:23

do that I I cannot bring myself down and

play18:25

humiliate myself well now I'm sitting

play18:28

here and I'm I'm going to humiliate

play18:30

myself and I'm going to ask you guys if

play18:32

there's anyone out there who is willing

play18:33

to help me not to give me money but you

play18:36

can loan me money I can go as high as

play18:39

10% interest rate it is crazy but it is

play18:42

better to give you guys 10% interest

play18:45

rate and to give e day who's

play18:49

15% and other options asking family

play18:52

member uh I kind of done that but uh uh

play18:57

the answer is unfortunately know over

play18:59

there Ive tried it already there is no

play19:02

other possibility

play19:04

so it it is in a way

play19:08

very I don't I don't know what to say

play19:11

but it is such a shame I'm going to be

play19:14

so sad if I lose the house I bought the

play19:16

house I build the house for my family if

play19:19

I live alone or if I live with just

play19:21

wifey and a dog we could live in way

play19:23

smaller house like like like over there

play19:25

at Alo that was large enough for us

play19:27

actually more than large enough actually

play19:29

but I figure that for the future for

play19:32

expanding my business for expanding the

play19:34

family this is going to be really com

play19:37

comfortable and I can afford it remember

play19:39

that the house cost more than 14 million

play19:43

Nook and it's just that top 1 million

play19:46

look extra that causes the big problem

play19:49

here you know so not it's not like I

play19:52

couldn't afford it okay okay technically

play19:55

I couldn't afford it I could afford 90

play19:57

95% of this but it's that last five or

play20:01

10% that blew the budget that causes big

play20:05

baluba big macaroni right

play20:09

now so yeah so uh I mean whatever I'm

play20:14

going to be yell at big time that's fine

play20:17

that helps the YouTube algorithm LOL uh

play20:20

but if there's anyone out there who

play20:22

wants to loan me money we have to sign

play20:24

this contract we can just use the

play20:26

contract from idus as a template I just

play20:29

you know we have a written contract I

play20:31

owe you this much you you know I have to

play20:32

pay you this much in interest

play20:34

rate uh and so on uh and I'm you know

play20:38

I'm an honest guy I'm not going to run

play20:39

away anyway I can't run anyway

play20:42

anyway that would be really grateful uh

play20:45

just you know small like if I can just

play20:47

get let's say

play20:49

even, 2,000 Euro loan here and there and

play20:53

we have many of those it would actually

play20:56

make a difference and especially if you

play20:57

can tip it over and say that okay I

play20:59

managed to find 500 or 600k no or

play21:02

whatever and idus has then the remaining

play21:04

little bit there or if way can then ask

play21:07

the bank if they can just stretch it by

play21:09

a couple of hundred thousand Nook you

play21:11

know yeah but I don't know I'm this is

play21:14

my final shot for the house and if

play21:18

nothing works out then I have to sell it

play21:20

but the crazy thing is that okay we sell

play21:23

the house okay it's it's going to be the

play21:25

biggest uh biggest uh disappointment in

play21:29

my career

play21:30

but we can actually afford a relatively

play21:34

spacious house if you want to buy

play21:36

another one well actually or yeah or if

play21:39

we can rent we can we don't have to rent

play21:41

a small apartment we can actually get OK

play21:43

space and so on but it's just the fact

play21:45

that I'm going to lose so much money and

play21:48

to lose the whole it's it's a principal

play21:52

case yeah this just but whatever

play21:56

so yeah uh I think I'm done uh talking

play22:00

now

play22:01

and I will actually have to go inside

play22:04

and shoot some and edit some videos and

play22:06

then I'm going to uh do a range test at

play22:09

night because that's the only time I

play22:11

have time to do something because

play22:13

nowadays it's I okay short story

play22:16

nowadays I I almost cannot do anything

play22:19

because oxel just happened to be a baby

play22:22

that cries a lot when he lays alone so

play22:26

we have to carry him a lot so that's

play22:29

puts a big strain on one of us occupies

play22:32

one of us quite a lot and then Isabelle

play22:35

is also a bit grumpy is from time to

play22:38

time uh especially when oxus run

play22:40

something about you know Big Sisters

play22:42

little brother and you know yeah mother

play22:46

giving attention to the little brother

play22:47

instead and Sh like like that right

play22:50

plus that wife is still recovering from

play22:52

the C-section so she has some limitation

play22:55

when it comes to carrying heavy you know

play22:58

toddler or stuff like that so that's why

play23:00

I have to take my part of the

play23:02

responsibility as a dad to also help

play23:04

here but it's going to be things are

play23:06

going to be better fortunately because

play23:08

Isabelle will start kindergarten from 1

play23:11

of uh August so I just have to survive

play23:13

now for the next month is plus the te

play23:17

Ving stock whatever they call it yeah in

play23:19

the beginning so so once Isabell is that

play23:22

in the kindergarten I should have way

play23:24

more available time in the office hours

play23:28

Monday Friday to get some work done but

play23:31

yeah okay I also need to maybe tell you

play23:33

guys that I need to do I can't just

play23:36

getting a loan is not the solution the

play23:38

solution is to bring more cash flow into

play23:41

my business and in the past I have been

play23:44

kind of reluctant of getting something

play23:47

but for example tber approached me and

play23:51

they wanted me to make videos about grid

play23:53

rewards and I was like hm okay after a

play23:56

little bit back and forth they said

play23:57

they're going to pay me money I'm like

play23:59

well usually I don't do that but I mean

play24:02

why not so yeah they paid me money to

play24:04

make the T video I'm going to make two

play24:07

videos one is already out the second one

play24:08

will come out soon and I figured why not

play24:12

because I love Tio I've been using t for

play24:15

many years and uh just talking about G

play24:18

rewards to get

play24:20

money why not so I I should take more uh

play24:23

sponsored videos out there but I have to

play24:25

see what it is of course but actually

play24:28

okay let's try it I'm open for it many

play24:31

Chinese companies has has approached me

play24:33

before asking me to review some products

play24:35

I have to see what it is but if there's

play24:37

something interesting that my viewers

play24:38

would like to use I don't know

play24:40

accessories for cars or whatever like

play24:43

inflated bed okay they can ship me the

play24:45

items for free but they also have to

play24:47

maybe send me money pay me for reviewing

play24:50

that product because like some of my

play24:53

friends have told me who also runs other

play24:55

businesses they said B don't sell

play24:57

yourself too cheap keep I'm like huh

play24:59

really well it is true um you know MC

play25:03

Hammer I got full ppf on him plus

play25:06

ceramic clothing it cost get on o design

play25:10

around I mean uh the the customer price

play25:13

would be 50,000 Nook for the full repap

play25:17

for them it probably cost way less

play25:19

because of whatever right but they gave

play25:22

it to me for free and in the following

play25:25

years when I had MC Hammer they made

play25:28

made something like 3 million look in

play25:31

they call

play25:32

itting they they at least you know they

play25:35

sold uh rap service for you know tens

play25:40

time several tens time more than what

play25:43

they invested in me and I was like wa

play25:46

really and I've seen now the numbers

play25:48

when I promote uh like sexy buttons I

play25:52

actually get the commission when I

play25:53

promote sexy button those those guys are

play25:55

nice to give me commission you know so

play25:59

so I realized that wow okay there is a

play26:01

lot of untapped resource here I should

play26:03

actually promote more of the stuff and

play26:06

other channels are doing it I'm actually

play26:08

almost not promoting any products like

play26:11

that so maybe I should balance it and do

play26:13

a little bit more of that you know

play26:16

because I heard that other YouTube

play26:17

channels they actually get more cash

play26:20

flow from that than just the YouTube

play26:21

income which is the main income for me

play26:23

right now so okay I'm going to try that

play26:25

but I have to do something to get the

play26:28

cash flow going

play26:30

higher uh at least temporarily and once

play26:34

I clear the big ass loan I mean not the

play26:36

biggest loan but I clear that that top

play26:39

loan you know that 1 million the 100,000

play26:41

Euro loan like after one two years

play26:45

whatever then I can lower my shoulder

play26:47

and go back to more normal stuff or I

play26:49

could just keep it up who knows you know

play26:51

we'll see how it goes but yeah so that's

play26:54

just how it is um I think now I'm going

play26:57

to stop talking because the video is

play26:58

already too long but um thank you guys

play27:01

for watching my channel for supporting

play27:03

me all this year I highly appreciate it

play27:06

and no matter what happens if I sell the

play27:08

house I'm still going to make YouTube

play27:10

videos of course it just that it might

play27:12

not be as smooth and

play27:15

uh and comfortable as it is right now

play27:18

but I I can always hire rent a place

play27:22

where I can have my banana boxes or I

play27:23

can have it in the basement but it's a

play27:25

bit cumbersome but usually like a Mini

play27:27

Storage like I did initially will work

play27:29

you know I can still do my range test I

play27:31

can still do this and that but we will

play27:34

either way if we sell the house by the

play27:35

way we will still live in yesim because

play27:39

we already got the Isabelle's um

play27:41

kindergarten in yes him so moving to

play27:43

another place would be kind of

play27:46

cumbersome yeah okay but anyway yeah I

play27:49

think I'm just going to end it now so

play27:50

thank you guys for watching and Wait I

play27:53

messed up that but I hope you guys enjoy

play27:55

the video as always thank you watching

play27:57

and talk to later and this is going to

play27:59

be unedited videos I will just upload it

play28:01

right like it is now okay bye-bye
