    I’m so addicted to these shows. I’ve been binge watching for a week now. This is probably my most interesting build to watch yet. The most beautiful landscapes ever there! I love the concept of what they will be trying to achieve A couple of lucky people right there. Ok enough of this back to this show lol. Hello from Boston MA USA also.

      Aloha from Taos, NM; I am moving from Maui, Hawaii to Scotland, so these shows are my work, as I am so excited to take on some derelict treasure to make my own farm home somewhere in Scotland. These shows are pure gold, and the people, so wonderful! Maybe I can share my journey once I get there! For my future "Regenerative Garden Forest Farm Cottage..."

      I was thinking one could look up THUM's MILL, and find out that way, possibly. I need follow ups as I find the time spent with these incredible people, in every episode, is very moving, and helps me feel connected not only to them, but to my own dreams of demonstrating their level of courage in my own Reno build!

    Why anyone wouldn't listen to George's ideas, is beyond me. George just gets in and helps, love it. Gorgeous setting, yet, I would worry about flooding. The archive room, George visited, doesn't look fire proof, really is scary that they hadn't done something to shore up that possibility. Too bad they don't revisit this restoration. We need an update.

    • @FOGDaheee
      @FOGDaheee 2 роки тому +5

      Indeed a great build so far and would be nice to see the result. On the other side this guy is crazy for doing this, how many times have they been flooded and more important how many more will there be. I grew up near here and there is a good reason that it stood empty for so long.
      His heart definitely ruled his head on this one, good luck to them.

    Is there (or will there be) an update episode?
    This is by far the most thrilling restauration, a faboulous building on a remarquable natural site! And what a lovely couple!
    I admire their "it takes what it takes", no compromise to go faster or cheaper in the building process.
    And the result shows it !
    I really would like to see the finished mill in- and outside...
    (...if they want to show their living space, after all it's privat!)
