Imagine what all this will look like in 3 years when they have gardens and lavender fields. Absolutely heaven on earth. Well done on the pointing Tracy. Looks fantastic your a true expert at this point.
You two are creating such a lovely home. The work that you have done and still have an immense amount to do is so incredible. You both are a world of knowledge and teaching us so much. Lovely couple to boot!🥰🇨🇦
Lovely to see you again, every thing is looking smarter and more tidy. Fantastic garlic rack and produce you clever man Budo. I actually feel exhausted watching the amount of work that you put in every week well done you two bye for now Sandy xx
That's so funny, when you took the camera out to the grassy area and Budo was on the tractor cutting it, he waved and I raised my hand off the mouse to wave back!! Hahahaha! Love your videos. Wow, you two are wizards, hardworking wizards!
Oh Luminya that has made my day reading this comment 😄 Budo is like a boy with his toys 🚜🤣thank you so much Luminya as always for your positive comments bon dimanche 🤗❤
Just like magic Budo the compost is ready for the veggie garden 🥕🥦🥬🌽 imagine how much money you’ll save,once there growing! Tracy your a super women,the pointing looks fantastic 👏wait until the windows & door are in👌 I think the ornate panel will look lovely on a wall Tracy,with a white wash paint on & original colour still showing! Can I say,i love how positive you both are, your always happy !😆 Take care lots of love 💕🥰👋
Oh wow! The drone shot of John and the chimneys is glorious. The pointing is magnificent I love your work Tracy. The gift from your French neighbour’s is amazing Im sure you will create some sort of feature for it. The garden is coming together Budo and the garlic 🧄 Well done 👍 Your home is so pretty I’m excited for you guys. Thanks for sharing your videos with us really love your content ❤️
Thank you so much Ivy it has really finished it off 😘im so glad you like the pointing yes how lovely of them to give us such a lovely gift and yes its moving a long nicely we did some seeding yesterday as well and you are very welcome 😘🌸🌺
You guys are doing such a great job of restoring the house and out buildings. I know in 4 or 5 years it will be fabulous. Lots of hard work but the rewards will be Devine. Have a great week. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Wow Tracy you are a pointing queen, brilliant work complements Budo's windows, you have brought the front of the farmhouse alive again. Great work. House and garden coming together. Happy Sunday.
Your place is really coming together now, looks great, kudos to Tracey for the major pointing job, not forgetting Budo's contribution. Love it, looking forward to seeing even more.
It's looking fantastic! Nothing like picking your own fresh vegetables. Sort those windows out and the front of your farmhouse will look spectacular. I'd have to get into that bedroom ASAP. Couldn't take the heat off the caravan. You really should add your patreon link to UA-cam x
Thank you so much Gillian yes we totally agree with you . We will be in very soon . We thought the link was on the description of the video but it is not on this video so l will look into it today ! but if you go on About the link is there 🌺😘
Don't forget to put a link to your Patreon page for people to sign-up. That is a great idea that you will be clearing the bushes and doing the pointing on the little cottage first as it will compliment your neighbours exterior that is attached to your home. That is a really good idea and I am sure your neighbour will be very happy. You are good people!!! All very exciting with what you are doing.....I really enjoy your channel as you cover so much and are so though with each job. Thanks for including us on this journey....👍 💝
Well done Tracey and Budo. The place is coming along great and looking picture perfect. Sorry to miss the premier but was 1am my time! All the best from Dave.
Another great vlog, lots going on. Budo, you need to wear a long sleeved collared chambray shirt and a wide brimmed hat, if your neck gets severe burn you can get sunstroke andblood poisoning. Good you put a hat on but it needs to protect the neck as well. I put my collar up and make sure my hat covers me too. Sunscreen just allows a longer exposure before burning. We Australians have very high rates of skin cancer, best to avoid it and jyst the general damage of it.
Thank you MegRu you are so right and being from Australia you guys know best i will be looking for a new hat with large rim this week all the best Budo 🤠😘🌻
Good luck with those willows Budo - I did the same here in Northumberland 20 years ago and I am now at the stage of chopping them down and trying to kill them off - they grow too well!
Absolutely fantastic job on the pointing Tracey!! Best to get permits and everything legal guys it saves complications for the future!! Italian bureaucracy is just as complicated but has to be done! 🤗
The front of the house looks amazing now, lovely to see the veg garden being prepared now too, it’s really looking so good, what’s the building attached to the cottage going to be? I can’t remember if you’ve ever said, you probably have but my memory is shocking, once those windows & door is in that will all look amazing at the front, you’re working so hard xx
Thank you so much Kim yes its all moving on nicely. Is this next to the Farmhouse Kim ? if it is in next weeks video we will tell you all about what was originally there and what it looked like 😉🌺🌸xx
Love the idea of stone containers as flower beds / pots. Will definitely remove the weeds as a problem. If they are raised enough will make things easy on the back too. The character will suit the farm house very nicely.
On the roof of the main cottage. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have matching dorma windows like on the lower roof? The pointing has really brightened it all up. Loving it
So excited for 2 things on particular, seeing what ye do with that fabulous cast iron gift your neighbours gave ye, agree it would look amazing back lit. And secondly, I'm obsessed with flowers and can't wait to see what ye plant over the coming years. That rose at the door is beautiful 😍
Interesting about the French paperwork, and the kindness of your French neighbors. Also (for whatever reason!) fascinated by new-fangled fosse (?) for cottage, keep us posted. Happy to see the disposition of your lovely compost and your beautiful willow hedge now waving in the breeze!!! Tracy, your pointing job is absolutely heroic and you deserve an English Heritage blue plaque fixed to the front of the house. What a woman!!!! What's the name of the beautiful creamy rose you have by your front door? It's gorgeous.
Evening have been looking forward to your video. That pointing really does look amazing Tracey. Do you two ever get any sleep 😴 you both work so hard .I have no idea how you do patreon not even sure how to spell it .so I will have to settle for watching you on here for as long as you stay on here .take care till next time xx
I just dipped my toe into the world of land /water management using swales n ponds . Seeing as your property is on such a slope and so many countries are implementing drought water restrictions I'd love to hear your thoughts on implementing these things before you lay out all your garden scape ? Another thought that came to mind when you mentioned permits for the kitchen. IF your back kitchen plans are denied , have you already considered using the fallen in roof area beside your caravan as a secondary site for kitchen ? It's always good to have a plan B ❣️❣️❣️
Hi C e great question we haven't really looked into the swales but are considering a pond as water is in abundance here in northern France but on the kitchen if we was turned down we would go back to our original idea back in the main house were i have the work shop temporarily at the moment 😘💦💦
The pointing is beautiful! What will you do with that side area that has the tin and building that crumbled? Cannot wait to see more! Thank you for sharing!😀🤩🙂
What a transformation the pointing has made to the front of the house - lovely job, Tracy. What are the plans for the beds, Budo? Obviously veg but what types? Thanks for sharing.
Are you focused on getting the exterior done before the autumn/cold and rainy weather starts, or doing both the interior and exterior during the summer months? Tracy did a great job on the pointing- really fresh and pretty.
Great work on the pointing guys - I wanted to ask how long it took you, and roughly what meters squared it was? Trying to get an idea about how long our place will take.
Hi guys look to rake out to around 25mm to 30mm deep clean off dust then spray to wet then point up 2 square metres a day for a beginner and 6 square metres for a pro in the UK you would charge between £78 to £96 per square metre not cheap dont no what they charge here in France hope this helps guys all the best Budo 👈👉👆👇☝️
Imagine what all this will look like in 3 years when they have gardens and lavender fields. Absolutely heaven on earth. Well done on the pointing Tracy. Looks fantastic your a true expert at this point.
Thank you so much Kim really love your comments all the best Budo 😘🌺🌻
Tracey had such a great job of the pointing. the house is looking fabulous

Thank you so much Chris 🌺🌻
Another great vlog, lots going on. Budo, you need to wear a long sleeved collared chambray shirt and a wide brimmed hat, if your neck gets severe burn you can get sunstroke andblood poisoning. Good you put a hat on but it needs to protect the neck as well. I put my collar up and make sure my hat covers me too. Sunscreen just allows a longer exposure before burning. We Australians have very high rates of skin cancer, best to avoid it and jyst the general damage of it.
Thank you MegRu you are so right and being from Australia you guys know best i will be looking for a new hat with large rim this week all the best Budo 🤠😘🌻
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries Good! I am happy with that.
I hope you wear ear protection when using the tractor. It is very loud even from across the field. The pointing looks great!
Thank you so much Katherine you are right i should and will in future all the best Budo 😘🌺
I've said it before, but the pointing is looking fantastic. Well done, you two!
Thanks again Theophilus 🌺🌸😘
Good luck with those willows Budo - I did the same here in Northumberland 20 years ago and I am now at the stage of chopping them down and trying to kill them off - they grow too well!
We will make sure will maintain them thank you Sam 😘🌸🌺
Absolutely fantastic job on the pointing Tracey!! Best to get permits and everything legal guys it saves complications for the future!! Italian bureaucracy is just as complicated but has to be done! 🤗
Yes we agree 100 % Anne better to be safe than sorry ! Thank you so much it has made such a difference to the house now the pointing is finished 🌺😘🌸
Oh you did a beautiful job Tracy. I can’t wait to see the new door and window
Thank you so much Rose 🌸🌺😘
The front of the house looks amazing now, lovely to see the veg garden being prepared now too, it’s really looking so good, what’s the building attached to the cottage going to be? I can’t remember if you’ve ever said, you probably have but my memory is shocking, once those windows & door is in that will all look amazing at the front, you’re working so hard xx

Love the idea of stone containers as flower beds / pots. Will definitely remove the weeds as a problem. If they are raised enough will make things easy on the back too. The character will suit the farm house very nicely.
Yes l thought that would look lovely either side of the Porch when it is built very in keeping with the Farmhouse 😘🌻🌸🌺
Brilliant video, Budo and Tracy. I loved the drone footage of the capped chimneys. Can't wait to see what comes next. 👍🏼
Thank you so much Colin and Jayne 🌸😘🌺🌻
On the roof of the main cottage. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to have matching dorma windows like on the lower roof? The pointing has really brightened it all up. Loving it
That's a great idea thank you Trudi and yes it has 🌺😘🌸
Thanks
Your welcome 🤗❤
Its the gift wrap on the package and sets the anticipation for what is inside. How your home appears affects all who visit it or see it in passing.
Yes we totally agree with you Nanci 😘🌺🌸
So excited for 2 things on particular, seeing what ye do with that fabulous cast iron gift your neighbours gave ye, agree it would look amazing back lit. And secondly, I'm obsessed with flowers and can't wait to see what ye plant over the coming years. That rose at the door is beautiful 😍
Yes me to its so beautiful and original 😘yes l am super excited to grow flowers 🌺🌸🌻yes it is l bought it from Aldi 😘
Interesting about the French paperwork, and the kindness of your French neighbors. Also (for whatever reason!) fascinated by new-fangled fosse (?) for cottage, keep us posted. Happy to see the disposition of your lovely compost and your beautiful willow hedge now waving in the breeze!!!

Yes it is Jeannette very interesting and its all looking good now .. what a lovely thing to say l am really touched thak you 😘🌸🌺
Great job on the pointing. I am really looking forward to seeing the bedroom - also you will be so much cooler in the house, won't you?
That's the plan mary and thank you so much 🌸🌺😘
Evening have been looking forward to your video. That pointing really does look amazing Tracey. Do you two ever get any sleep 😴 you both work so hard .I have no idea how you do patreon not even sure how to spell it .so I will have to settle for watching you on here for as long as you stay on here .take care till next time xx
Thank you Christina 😘we try to 😀we are here for a long time . 😘🌸🌺
I think your gift would be beautiful to replace the area above the front door
That's a good idea Karen 🤗❤
well done guys. looks great! you could make a walk in brasicca cage out of that fencing.
Thank you c lynch 🌺😘🌸

When’s your son and daughter in law and lovely Archie coming back we miss them 😎😎
Ha ha they will he here very soon hopefully Xxxx
goats love bracken, and each time the take the top off it gets weaker.
Yes good idea David this is our to get list ..🌸😘🌺
All of a sudden, I’m expecting Gordon Kaye to pop out with a shovel. 🤣 I don’t know why?
That's funny Tracy 😆😀🌸
What a transformation the pointing has made to the front of the house - lovely job, Tracy. What are the plans for the beds, Budo? Obviously veg but what types? Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much John it has .. we have started seeding yesterday beetroot , radishes peas borage spinach and holly hocks and lupins 🌺🌸😘
Are you focused on getting the exterior done before the autumn/cold and rainy weather starts, or doing both the interior and exterior during the summer months? Tracy did a great job on the pointing- really fresh and pretty.
That's the plan thank you so much for following 👍😉
That looks superb, great pointing. Wouldn't a spraying of Biocide be better to get rid of the lichen rather than pressure washing?
Great point Bob but i pressure washer is an industrial one so will make light work of it 😘🌺🌸
Great work on the pointing guys - I wanted to ask how long it took you, and roughly what meters squared it was? Trying to get an idea about how long our place will take.

Thank you Coby 🌺🌸🌻😘
Why do you want to close the original window up?
We will not be using the door as it is de-funked so we will close it up as we do not want two windows next to each other 🌸🌺😘
