    Has anyone else started checking the weather in France each day to guess the likelihood of a new video being uploaded?? 😭

    Holy xxx the view from the height while you were placing the top portions!!!! I had to climb on our ONE story roof for something, but I couldn't make myself able to get on the ladder to get down. My children tossed up one of their stuffed toys and their blankie. I had to wait an hour until my husband finished milking our cows.😮

    Monstrous effort today lads. Top marks on a beefy looking structure. Cant help but wonder how the top section is going to be fixed onto that. Guess we will find out soon if the weather holds up 🤞

    I really hope that one of the things that comes out of this is that more people follow in your footsteps and save all the old houses, manners, castles and buildings. Yes it's very hard work and yes it takes money but it's reclaiming a piece of local history and let's face it things are built like this anymore. They have to be saved somehow. You guys are such an inspiration. Well done.
