Have you seen anything? Discretion assured.
Throughout the episodes, Philippe Laprise takes on the full transformation of an old chalet located in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, surrounded by his partner and their children. Between unexpected twists, family decisions, and ambitious renovations, the journey yields moments that are both touching and funny.
Alongside the broadcast of the show, Philippe also posts short social-media capsules in which he speaks frankly about the big project and the behind-the-scenes of this adventure.
Is it hard on his relationship?
“People say renovations are tough on a relationship. How’s it going with your girlfriend?”
“Has the new chalet weakened Philippe Laprise’s relationship?” one might read in the margin of the video where he speaks candidly.
“Honestly, it brought us closer than ever, my girlfriend and me, these renovations. And it’s really funny. It’s true that sometimes we argue, but not at all—we’re on the same page. Still, we had to manage our own anxieties and be there for one another in this project. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that my relationship has actually strengthened a bit—indeed, I think it’s strengthened a lot,” the star shares, delivering what amounts to very good news.
Phil’s Irritants
“I’ve got plenty of irritants, you know—choosing wall colors, deciding on light fixtures in a single space, all the little renovation details, those things irritate me. Getting invoices from my contractor? I found that unpleasant. Not being kept in the loop about what’s happening wasn’t fun either. I had my share of irritants. I’ve learned that when you take on a project like this, you have to stay on top of things and scrutinize every detail, which I maybe didn’t do at first, and then, you’ll see, I started tightening the reins,” he explains.
Our Hopes
Congratulations to Phil and his partner for weathering this demanding journey and proving that their relationship can withstand such stressful situations. This kind of project can test many unions, so witnessing them emerge even closer is truly beautiful to see.
Despite the challenges, the surprises, and the tensions such an experience can bring, they seem to have moved forward together with listening and mutual understanding. In the end, this ordeal has not only confirmed the strength of their relationship but also contributed to strengthening their bond even further.
We wish them lots of happiness!
