46 - Finishing Cement Render Removal on Old Farmhouse, Hitting a Main Waterline & Fiber Arriving!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- Visiting the Château de Jumilhac last week gave us a better understanding of the materials used in the region's old buildings. While we're not renovating a château, it's fascinating to learn about the types of stones and building techniques used around here. It's an inspiration that helps us envision what our farmhouse could look like once it's restored to its former glory. This week, Philippe is back at it, removing the rest of the cement render to reveal the story the stones want to tell. Disaster strikes as Philippe hits a main waterline hidden behind the cement render. What a spot to put the main line that goes to the kitchen and bathroom! We had no choice but to fix it. We also got fiber internet installed, making a big difference in uploading our videos. This means a new network cable needs to be pulled from the network gear box in the new barn all the way to our working desk in the farmhouse. Between rain showers and thunderstorms, the cement render is slowly but surely getting removed. Check out the video for a before-and-after overview!

I love seeing Odin helping! The house looks so much better with the render gone. You are doing amazing work, and it's so good to see people taking good care of old buildings and bringing back their former rustic dignity!
Hey Melissa, indeed it was time this farm got some love to bring it back to its former glory or even upgrade it!
I just love the narrative of your wife's voice , she has a very consoling voice. Also love your ethic in your work ,look forward all the time to your videos.
Thank you Rose, i will let her know! Thx for watching and supporting us!
I really appreciate the way that you think and apply your work Philippe, with good humour. In regards to the exterior 'plumbing' job , in Canada we would call it "a cowboy job", "slapped together", or frankly "a shit show". 😂😂 Looking forward to when it is all made right.
Hey Bryan! same expression in Dutch actually, we call them cowboy builders as well. Funny how some expression go worldwide!
In Scotland we say it was done by Roy Rogers Incorporated😊
In U.K. also a cowboy job
Philipp, definitely built as someone else’s problem. No pride then they can charge again to fix it, a temporary solution is nothing to be sad about. With a family running water is essential and you are not yet ready to fully repair it, so a jury rig is perfect.
Yeah exactly, we are going to strip the inside of the farmhouse fully so that pipe will have to do for now.
Phillips you are so right about taking pride in your work. Any job worth doing is worth doing well! You and your wife work so hard but you are making excellent progress and you will have a beautiful homestead and farm. Many blessings!
Thank you Nicholas!
Odin just keeps getting cuter and cuter!!!
There is no stopping the cuteness bomb 😍
Little Odin helping his daddy! How cute ❤.you are a good man. How I wish I had someone like you to work on my house.
Thx D Z! 🙏
Hi Phillipe, , a water drama you definitely didn’t need. As you said, who did the work years ago had little pride or integrity in their work - just lumbered someone in the future! It’s a good thing you are technically skilled to sort it out.
As ever, great help from your beautiful son. Another well produced vlog. Thank you. Regards, Phil, Suffolk. 🇬🇧
Thx Phil, yeah i would rather not hit a pipe but is temporarily fixed for now so no big deal. But as i said in the video you don't expect someone to put a pipe in that place 😂
one thing for sure n one can accuse you of being lazy. Your energy amazes me.
Hey Annemarie! That is true!
its a good thing taking old render off the stone will look lovely back in its original state
Oh yeah we already get a glimpse, still need to proper clean them.
I love the chickens all lined up at 33m thinking, “he’ll dig something soon so we can have a scratch for worms and bugs”
Philippe = food dispenser 😂
Odin is helping his Daddy clean up, gorgeous 🥰
He needs his own wheelbarrow 😍
He's got a good teacher
How adorable! Loved that shot ❤
Oh yes it was, too bad the microphone died just in that moment 😢
We are enjoying Odin grow; he is a sweet little boy.
Haha Guadalupe, he is the cutest 😍
The front of the house is looking great! I agree that the stones make it look rustic and more in line with how it should be. At least now the wall can breathe; so sweet to see Odin helping his papa. Not sure on your plans to cover the pipes for winter but we use ' pool noodles ' for the smaller ones and they work fine. Cheap too and low cost to replace.
Hey Michelle i will need to insulate that pipe in the winter and it will be with a "pool noodle" thingie 😂
The only good thing about that cement render is that being grey it is easy to distinguish when drilling it out. Heck of a job. Love the original stonework. Boy they did a great job. Best wishes.
Haha Shirley yes it is easy to spot what you want gone 😅
Phillipe, it is a rare sight to see a master craftsman at work these days.
Around 45 yrs ago I did the kind of thing you are doing.
Now I can only watch that dream properly show itself.
Cheers. Gus
Thx Gus, i am by no means perfect but i will try to do my best which is the most anyone can do!
As a writer who felt obligated to work on America's democratic (and Democratic Party) crisis with a 7500 word essay, I pay tribute to your practical skills in all apects of the farm restoration.
I once did a little stint as a property manager, "dabbling" in some basic plumbing but nothing like yours. Great job.
Hi William, each his profession! I couldn't write a 7500 word essay 😉
Epic!!! You really are making a superb job of your house.
Love love love how Odin copies you exactly with his little shovel, he must make you smile.
Thanks for sharing so much this week.
Bon courage! 😊
Hey LL, thx! Yeah funny how fast he is progressing! Wont be long until he will actually be helping me on small jobs 🙏😅
Odin is so cute in his little dungarees😍So nice to see a professional plumber at work👌👍 We've had very sub-standard plumbing done in our house, took another plumber to check everything and give us a COC🤦🏼♀️
Hey Patricia, I am by no means perfect but i will always do my work like i would do it at my own house, of course i have made mistakes too but as long as you rectify them..
I love seeing Odin helping out. I’m a bit concerned with the open cellar steps; could you put back the old railing and block it off somehow so he doesn’t fall in? I remodeled my house when my kids were little and I remember how fast they can get into trouble when you’re trying to work. Everything is looking SO much better after all your hard work.
Hey Gayle, i was going to look if i can close the hole with a pallet or something since we don't use the cellar at all.
I usually fast forward thru plumbing projects on these DIY channels as they admit to not knowing what they are doing & hate it, lol, so it was a relief to watch someone who does!
The house is looking wonderful. You’ve done a great job. Looking forward to your next video!😊
Haha i have seen many DIY plumbing jobs on UA-cam and it is not always the prettiest but they have to learn as well 😂
"Not Notre Dame"...lol, it's still going to be just as fantastic on a slightly smaller scale. The water/sewer thing, I don't think will be technically hard, especially for Philippe and Odin, just one more thing to do with a lot of digging, at least you have the "tool" for that. Great progress, looks really good.
Yeah lucky we have Mr Bobcat! Soon we will hopefully have another big tool to help us!
Hi guys.. the stone walls are looking fabulous.. I admire your determination.. love watching your channel from Australia
Thx John! We have soo many Australians watching!!
The stone looks lovely. You’ve got a great helper there
Hey Neroli! Thx and yes Odin will soon be taking over 😅
It's going to be a lot faster now Odin has started working too 😅. It's a really good job you are talented with that old plumbing 😊
Hey Jean we have to be careful so we don't get reported for child labor 😂
@DomaineSauvage aww, he doesn't look like he will complain 🤣
Great job on the farmhouse wall - looking sooo much better already! It was lovely to watch your little apprentice, Odin. He's very sweet.
41:12 thanks mate for the shout, loving the progress.
Haha no worries, we read and reply to every comment and i try to include it in the video where i can 🙏👍
Well done Philippe! Looks so much better.
Thx Happy Camper! 🙏
Good to see you and your family have a great day❤💙🎉🦋☺👏👍
Good to see you too! have a great week and weekend!
Just so wonderful to watch you guys, Odin is the most adorable child x
Thank you Hedda! 🙏
Thanks for explaining in detail the work and observations about the building.
No problem Mimi
I feel for you. We can see your frustration when work is done in a haphazardly way. You have a beautiful son.😊
Thank you followeroftheway! 🙏
Phillipe, You are doing a fantastic job. Thanks for showing us. Very interesting, looking forward to the next video.
Thx George! 🙏
Wow I can’t believe it’s that time already for him. I’m glad you have also started a business it helps toward your renovations. I’m so pleased that things are going well. I live in South Africa and believe me not a lot of young men would do what you guys are doing unless they grew up farming.
Ah yes he is growing up fast! 👶
dat was een hele karwei , wel veel mooier nu de stenen muren tot hun recht komen . netjes gedaan door jullie drietjes . kijk er al naar uit hoe het volgend avontuur zal verlopen . groetjes uit rotem 👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍
Thx Patrick! Groeten van het niet altijd zonnige frankrijk 😂
You are doing a great job!! And I love hearing you speak...after a long day for me it's very soothing. Keep up the good work!!
Haha thx Wendy, great to hear it relaxes you!
Wow the house is becoming to look as it should with beautiful stone & character of its age
Not great with plumbing issues but Phillipe you take it all in your stride I admire your calm logical approach 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Odin is a delight to see every time he makes an appearance I enjoy seeing him grow 💙
Hey Sue! The plumbing doesn't matter that much it just needs to last a little bit longer and then we will renew it all.
Phillipe you are doing an awesome job! But hey you always do! Your wife and Odin are very lucky to have such an awesome person in their lives!! Take care. Best wishes. Di from Traralgon Australia
Hey Diwondermom! Thx! I am lucky too to have them in my life! 🙏👍
You have a great work ethic. Keep up the good work.
Thx Norm! 🙏
Enjoyed the last one very much. So glad Philip has a helping hand now. ;-)
Hey Martin! We need more children now 😂
@@DomaineSauvage I uh probably shouldn't respond to this suggestion....hahahaaaa 🤣but in essence it is quite true! Funny.
The house looks so good with the render off. Goed zo
Thank you Leed! We like it better as well but still need to get the residue off the stones. 🙏
I have indeed two and three grandchildren and I also worked so was just interested
Hey Catherine i answered your question on the other comment 🙏
Hello again, today's episode was worth waiting on. My wife and I enjoyed watching Odin helping his Papa clear the mess from the old render. Glad to also hear your WIFI system has been upgraded to Fibre. Does that mean longer videos since the upload speed is now a few minutes?🤣🤣🤣🤣 No excuses now . Your command of Engish is superb, much better than my few words in Flemish/ Dutch, mostly swear words. Do you mind if I occasionally drop in an English word such as corrode for what cement does to copper? Carroderen .
Hey Martin, haha that will be up to Anicia! Yes corrode is the exact word i was searching for! In Dutch it is corroderen like you say.
technic wire between Home and barn : May i suggest to add a "waterproof wire"" to hang all wires for Heavy Winds in order to preserve the quality the wires.
Bon courage and stay safe.
Hey Jean-Marie, i have to start writing down your suggestions because you are right they do sway in the wind and might start fraying if they rub too much. I will try to remember and see if i can put a temporary cable to take away the stress on the other ones.
@@DomaineSauvage Oh yes, but may i suggest that you place the "waterproof wire" and on hang on it a goutter with all the wires inside. That could be better than a pipe
(150mm diam)because you have not to disconnect ALL the wires in that case. The gutter must have holes (water evacuation) every 300 or 400mm.
what a lovely 43mins treat this week. Odin me fait fondre le coeur🥰😘😘 Heerlijke aflevering (makes my heart melt, delightful vlog😉) thank you❤❤❤
Haha thank you Xavier, yes we are surprised many people actually liked a longer video!
Your home looks so much better without the rendering on it. Another excellent job you are doing to improve your house and land. We just love your attitude and comments. In the UK we would say that the ‘external plumbing work’ must have been done by cowboy builders 😮
Thx Hilary, in Belgium we use the same word "Cowboy" builders. 😅
Brilliant! Love watching you all in your renovation, really like how you don't cut corners and take pride in your work
Thank you Noel. The "fix" was a bit cutting corners but we will strip out all the old plumbing anyways.
Sterk werk! Restore to its older glory is Nice to see
Thx Ron!
Picking out the rendering with the small hammer drill? must've taken forever. But it's absolutely transformed it - it looks superb.
Sorry, but the plastic main door offends me.
😂 so UA-cam objected to the new Sauvage fibre !? Perhaps YT checking took ~3 hours, the same as Starlink upload time, so you didn't notice it, but with fibre uploading it in 5 minutes, now you do 🤔
Sounds like you "plumb" networks as well Philippe ?!
Love the drone shots - it all looks beautiful 😊
Hey Daytona, ah yes the big machine is too big to get in the little holes. The plastic main door offends us as well but i cant be too negative on video or i will get remarks for it 😂
It has been going for 24 hours now but we had a chat with UA-cam and they said ignore it and just publish it will eventually sort itself out so that's what we did. In my younger years i worked one year in the IT business so i have always liked technology 😎
Beautiful cinematic shots! Love it.
Thx Martin, i will let the grandmaster know! 😅
Hi Philippe, are you sure you are from Belgium as you constantly talk about the weather and the rain. I am quite sure you are really an Englishman like me, as that is all we talk about LOL
Hi Anicia love your work on the videos about your lovely family and the beautiful farm and location it is set in. My partner Rosa and I love the bit when Odin helped his dad to shovel up the concrete and put it in the wheelbarrow.
Phillipe as you are 39 please get yourself a really decent pair of knee protectors and wear them instead of just kneeling down without protection. I am 68 now and my knees cause me so many issues and are extremely painful. The sort of knee pads you can get now did not exist in my young working days, wish they had.
Regards Chris
Haha Chris we Belgians like to complain about the weather too 😂My long pants have knee protectors in them, my profession is plumber so my knees were already suffering but they have been getting a lot better since i started doing this because i am kneeling a lot less!
By the way nice model trains you got! My father who died 2 years ago had a lot of train model and i always liked it as well, he was making all his old models digital!
I still love everything to do with model trains or rc planes etc..
As for the fix for the waterline, I suggest you get a couple different size extra long drill bits and drill at an angle from the inside out to end up in the cement hole where the water meter is located. This would be much easier than trying to drill from the hole to the inside of the house.
Hey David, correct but for now i am going to leave it as is because on the inside is our kitchen sink which is working but if i start touching that which can of worms will i open then 😅
Odin is adorable ♥ Copying his Dad, trying to be helpful. In no time at all he will be behind the wheel of the ride-on mower, and doing other things, helping out in a very real way. Take care - of all those around you - animals, plants, people, little people ... the old house ... the land. Thank you. 🙏🙏♥♥
You definitely are doing a good job! It will look fantastic when done. 👍🥰😊
Thank you Sandra! 😎🙏
Enjoy your videos very much! 😊
Thank you Elaine! 🙏
Love the drone shots. The house is so much better looking now. It looks like it can breathe now. Such good work and love to see your family enjoying your lovely home.
Thank you Almeda!
When are you hoping to drag the old tractor out of the bushes, that looks an interesting job. The farm is looking much better and well done for getting rid of all the rubbish from the bushes
Hey John, in one of the upcoming videos i will try with the mini excavator 😉
Many thanks it’s always great to see brining old equipment back to life. Hopefully you can get it going as it would be an asset to the farm . By the way the rendering on the farm house looks so much better with the concrete removed. Well done looking forward to the next video
I appreciate your attitude about doing things the right way, great work and results.
Thx Claude!
It’s looking like a farmhouse should look.
What does Anicia do while you are working outside. Does she have a job to do or working on the inside. I know she helps you sometimes. Lovely to see Odin growing up so quickly ❤
What do you think she’s doing ? Have you ever looked after a toddler …… ?!?
@@janemaryagnestouché😉
AND editing all the videos so artistically!
Hey Catherine, Anicia does a lot of editing for the videos and she does a big part of the paperwork as well as her French is better then mine. We have created a business in France and she is doing the papers for that as well. She is an excellent cook so that takes up time as well and then we have our little devil Odin running around.
So she might actually do more then me 🙏👍
Odin is going to the daycare/creche now to learn his French and get used to having to go to school next year so Anicia will have some more time and film her own little projects.
Ah yes she puts a lot of work into it, so i am always happy when the video does well and when you see soo many people leaving positive comments!
The property is beautiful👍
Thank you Leona!!
Lovely to see the stone again
Ah yes we think so too, we couldn't resist and we are giving them a good clean now so stay tuned they will look even better 😁
Beautiful! It's as if your house's pretty face can finally be seen. Maybe plant a flowering vine to conceal the smaller stones over the cellar doorway? Instead of trying to replace the small stones with larger ones.
We will probably get rid of the cellar because it causes more issues then what it gives us and then we will need to redo a part of the wall. But we have indeed ideas about planting vines on the wall with a trellis.
i love the cow parade.❤❤❤
the wall looks beautiful.
One of the perks of living here, these were milk cows i think.
Que pensent les anciens propriétaires du domaine de la qualité de transformation et du travail réalisé.
bravo c'est du bon travail bonne continuation.
Bonjour Mohamed, nous ne savons pas, nous avons dit qu'ils pouvaient toujours passer quand ils le voulaient, mais nous ne les avons pas vus depuis la vente.
Such hard work on your "Domaine Sauvage", and everything shows how much work you do, the exposed stone walls are wonderful -- I'm glad you're a plumber!!!
Thank you Robin!
There’s always certain people or companies who only think about making a quick profit rather then finishing a job properly, We have a saying in Norfolk uk if it’s worth doing it’s worth doing well 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
Yeah very strange mentality but ah well it is good we are all different 😅 Indeed if you do it do it right!
I am full appreciation & admiration for your knowledge and assorted skills! Is there anything that you can’t do?
Thank you for sharing with us.
A Great Gram from MO😊
Hey Jane, many things i can not do but i am willing to try and research before i do 🙏👍
Love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you TJ!
The house looks amazing!!! You both are creating a beautiful life...love your videos!
Thank you Barbara!
Watching this from the USA - 'the money, money, money' sounds so familiar
Yeah money talks they say 😂
You have a grieved much in twelve weeks! It is looking beautiful! 👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏💜
Thx!
God bless your ♥ there is always something with an old house.!! The removal of the concrete has exposed the beauty of the stone. You work so hard great job!! Hope you take some days off so you don't get burnt out. Take care.
Thank you Peggy!
Wow…….so impressed…….such a skill set.
Thank you Graeme!
A hard job and well done 👏
Thx Saudilass! 🙏
Well done Phillips and family, your home looks so much better without the rendering 🌩⛈⛈☂️☂️
Thank you Beverly, still have to tidy up the face of the stones but that will be for later!
Goh, ik heb al die tijd gedacht dat t onderste gedeelte en op de hoeken zijkant echte stenen waren...
Hey Dia, neen en dit wordt heel veel gedaan ze cementeren de hoeken erop en maken lijntjes zodat je zou denken dat het hoekstenen zijn 😂
I have a motto for any projects around the house, anything worth doing, is worth overdoing!
it probably costs me more money, but it is worth it knowing my work wont fail, because in 35 years nothing ever has!
Do you have access from the basement to below the bathroom and kitchen etc and will that make it any easier for you when you re-plumb the main supply to the house?
Do you have any plans to restore the large window in the living room now that you will need to replace some of the damaged stone anyway?
Great work this week Philippe, shame you had to repair someone else substandard work
Hey Scott, In the end it will save you more money! When we redo the farmhouse we are going to strip the inside completely and we will most likely get rid of the basement since it adds more complexity and we have enough space with all the barns together. We would like to give all the windows those yellow natural stone as surround.
Your series is one of the best in my opinion. It’s nice to see people enjoying hard work and enjoying wholesome lifestyles. Americans have a lot to learn 🥰
OMG its looking amazing now ,well done ,to you ,u wrk so hard ,ur proerty looks lovley no after ur hard wrk well done ,love ur videosx
Thx Diana! 🙏
You have made such amazing progress. Your farmhouse is going to be so impressive. The trouble with disasters, like breaking into the main waterline, there are no polite ways to describe the idiot who put the pipe in the cement.
Just to make you smile, when the original owner of my house built the addition to the house, he nailed it directly to the outside of the main house without even removing the shingles!!! He just cut a door through the wall and nailed the framing to the outside!! 🤷🤷🤷 I don't want to think he was drunk as a skunk, but I have my doubts! I didn't find out until about five years after I bought the house! 🤦🤦🤦 Please, just shake your head and laugh.
With the rain, at least you won't run out of water this summer. Fire danger ought to be minimal.
It looks beautiful! Good job!
Thank you Abigail and yes these kind of things have no borders 😅. I don't know if this area is prone to fire risk, we are not far enough South for that.
That is a big job, but looking good. A proper upgrade. Interesting.
Thx Brian!
The house looks so much better! Love your constant chicken audience! It's frustrating to have to fix other peoples sloppy work, when you are done everything will be proper!
Thx, we like it to!
An amazing job, you can hear the building breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank you Alec!
You are doing such an amazing job. Be proud of your achievements... each one no matter how small they seem.❤
Thx Louise! 🙏
Fantastic job, well done, great effort.
Thank you Maxine!
you are so invaluable to your lovely family. The way you just get stuck in is Fantastic, pointing, drains, dumpers whatever!!! BUT please watch your health, wear a suitable mask over nose and mouth in all that concrete dust. Take care your lungs are so precious!
I will wear it more often!
DOING NICE JOB
LOVE TO ODIN .
Thx Ranvir! 🙏
The house looks so nice with the stones exposed.
Thank you Peggy!
Good job! Buildings have to breath.
It's a funny thing, but sometimes having a willing assistant doesn't necessarily speed the job up! I love the randomness of the stonework. The person who built that must have taken ages!
Best assistant ever 😅! Oh yeah these buildings are older then we think. We have a feeling they date back to when the Spaniards controlled this part of France.
That is possibly the tiniest water supply for a house that I have ever seen! A nuisance to be certain, but at least once you are done, you know it will be done right.
Ah Wayne!! I was wondering where you were! I see people come and go in the comments but always great to see them come back! Yeah that main water is the smallest you could get 😂 like i said in the video the last few years they rented out this place so all that was put in was to keep it cheap, maybe they should just have drawn some lines on the wall and the water could follow it 😂
Respect! Jullie maken er iets prachtigs van.
Dankjewel Isabelle!
Balen! Jammer genoeg kom je dit soort prutsers overal tegen!🙄 Jullie zijn geweldig bezig.
Ja, we hadden het wel gezien bij de aankoop dat er veel geprutst was maar het verbaast mij nog altijd soms 😂Soit eenmaal we aan de boerderijwoning zelf beginnen is de bedoeling van alles te strippen en opnieuw te doen.
You’re doing a great job 👏🏾👍🏾😘🦋
Thank you!
Such a lot of hard work, but well worth it. The farmhouse looks so much better and it can breathe again! It will look amazing once repointed - another awesome task in itself! Keep going, you're doing a fantastic job. Well done!
Thx Tanja, we are cleaning the stones now. Couldn't resist and we are scraping out some more old mortar so it will be almost fully prepared for pointing.
Plhilippe, you mentioned that as a plumber, you dont work much with pvc, may i ask what you use instead?
When i will move to france to finally take up a similar project i at least know a plumber who doesnt like to deliver prutswerk. Excellent!
Hey Jeroen, I use PP drainage pipe and the fittings for it are PP as well with O-rings inside. No glue necessary. The only thing is to fasten the pipe well but if you do PVC you should do that as well even if it is glued...
@@DomaineSauvage thanks Philippe, i have a bit of amateur experience with pvc. Dont know of pp pipe use for waste water from my limited amateur experience
Yes it is black pipe together with black fittings, easy and no need to glue so you can take your time to get it too fit right. Just always check if the O-ring is there and seated correctly. Also fasten the pipe well before and after a turn so they wont come apart from the water pushing, you should do this with pvc as well.
Maybe Odin needs a Wheelbarrow 🎉❤?
Hey Christine we will look if we can find something decent he can use for a few years!
I bet you are a regular at the dechetterie lol. I didn’t realise that the corner stone was actual render. I would have left it in place by mistake lol
Great work as always 🇫🇷🇫🇷👍
Most of the rubble is going to go under the parking space behind the barns, but in the beginning when i was cleaning up a lot of "shit" i was going there a good few times fully loaded. They don't like it when you bring that much but i rearranged some containers so it could all fit and it was all fine since then 😆
Yeah a lot of the old buildings with render have these fake corner stones 😉getting those beautiful yellow natural stones around the windows is an ok job, but putting corner stone in mean you have too demolish a big part and rebuild.
@@DomaineSauvage You are doing a fantastic job mate. My highlight was you laughing at hand shoes when translating from English to Dutch lol
I really enjoy your videos!
Can I ask why you decided to remove the rendering? It looks amazing gone but is it because you wanted to restore the look of the old farmhouse or was it causing problems?
You are such a hardworker! Not sure if it is editing but you make it look effortless although I am sure it is a lot of work!
Hey Ann, the render causes moisture problems because cement doesn't let water through and these walls stand with their feet on the ground so they soak water up and it has nowhere to go causing problems. Modern buildings have a vapor barrier so the moisture from the ground cant go up in the walls and then you can render with whatever you want.
@@DomaineSauvage thank you for answering! I really like the look of the stone.
Great videos! Really enjoy them! Greetings from Vancouver Canada
the last few days we have had lovely sunny hot weather here in the uk but we have had alot of rain all through spring
😭😭😭😭Not so much in Ireland the summer so far has been cool and wet much like the weather in France
Hey Sharon it has been better here as well!
