  • Description

    Description

    A few years ago we bought a house where we can live the life we want: living and working in an economical reality called Belgium, but as self-sufficient as possible.
    Together with our 2 kids (Fleau: girl, 7 years old and Loui: boy, 5 years old) we work and live around here.
    While I am building our workshop I rent a shop in the neighborhood for cabinetmaking.
    My wife, Nathalie works part-time in Mechelen as an optician.
