All her family and friends are blessed to have her in their lives, I'd wager! A lovely couple, family, and restoration. A thousand best wishes from the U.S.

      This was my first time seeing this farm restoration and this restoration is my absolute favorite, because it is an actual family farmhouse which was owned by actual ordinary hard-working, English farmers, and not wealthy aristocrats I would love to see a video of the completed house restoration and the landscaping with the pond and he ideas that they mentioned as well as the farm animals. I loved their farm, and seeing for the most part, just the two of them doing the restoration, using the traditional building methods would have been used 500 years ago. It makes you appreciate the hard work people had to perform and that was required to provide a foundation for modern construction techniques.

I honestly struggle to lift 50 pounds. My spirit is still there. My strength and grip in my hands is lacking.

    I think this couple is the most amazing and the best for all series of all seasons of cycles with construction and restorations. The previous episode about them is my favorite. I think they will not disappoint me in this episode either.
