Stunning location, cant wait to see what you do with the cabin.
A beautiful setting, and a great structure, with well-skilled work, and what a great group of friends you have. Also enjoyed your background music too. You are another "Renaissance Man", and despite the time lapse, one can see you have a good peaceful rhythm and a true feeling for the land. I laud your desire to rejuvenate the olive growing biome, and hope you will consider a multi-biome versus an olive monoculture. The terraces would make nice layouts for perennial natural flowers, some nitrogen fixers, as well as a friendly kitchen garden. To a good life!
Thanks a lot for this comment. Appreciated. I'll try to grow different kind of plants and trees but I have to be careful because of the altitude and the negative temperature in winter. Time and try will tell, But the goal is to be able to grow a part of my own food, as much as possible
Exactly!

Nice work. And the music is awesome. Ty.
I just love what you've done so far. Your work ethic proves that good things come to those who create with their own hands. I don't often subscribe to these channels, but yours has inspired me. Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks a lot. In my opinion nothing compare to the satisfaction of beeing in a place where everything comes from my imagination and my hand, so appreciated.
Nothing is as rewarding as seeing what you have created. I'd offer to help but that would spoil your fun. Enjoy the journey.

That is a sweet excavator. Wonderful that you could turn to a friend to put it back into working order. What a great location. The journey on the two lane highway through the rock tunnels was thrilling. If you know anyone who does wood turning, the big olive tree stump you dug out would make a magnificent bowl. Also, I think there may have been some logs that were big enough to cut into lumber on a band mill/ Olive wood of that size is special. It looked as though the olive trees you removed had never been pruned as an orchard. That was a good decision to rejuvenate the orchard.

I can see why it only took 20 minutes to decide to buy. Magnificent!
You sure have the right tool to work on your property. I saw you very seldom used the blade on the back. It’s good for stabilizing the machine while using the bucket and as you saw after the gravel. It does a really good job of moving rock or dirt to a level service. Good video. Can’t wait till I see what your up to next. Later
Amazing transformation and you just started! Looking forward to the coming videos. New subscriber. 👍👍

That drive in the truck going to the cabin…whoa dude, it was a bit crazy, LOL. I knew it was because it was sped up, but still.
Had to watch this again. Looking forward to future videos.
Thanks ! The video was longer of course, the part in the bottom of the valley along the river is tricky with the truck ans the trailer but i love to drive those big old trucks

Greetings from Scottsdale, AZ USA.
I enjoyed your videos and am looking forward to seeing your progress. Your format of just getting to it is refreshing but I'll also appreciate hearing your thoughts in the future. I'm a contractor so this is especially refreshing seeing your work from another perspective outside the US.
Hello, thanks for this comment.
It's always interesting to see how people in foreign country work. You just have to keep in mind that i'm not a professional, i just love creating things, working with my hand and I just think that in life, you have to be able to do everything by yourself. So my way of doing some things might not always be the best or the way specialist do it, the most important for me is the satisfaction of the final result
I can appreciate that. Do you have a mailing address for this channel?

I think you have a great property. I look forward to seeing your progress. One suggestion: Your music is fine for the first 10 minutes. It would begetter to have it alternate with silence.
Thank you patricia. I agree for the music. I have to improve my musician's skill 😆

UA-cam put this vid in the mix of things it thought I'd like, that's how I found you. Wow dude you're really hauling ass with this property. I went back to the beginning of the vid to remember how the land looked. It's sooo freakin' different. It's a shame about the trees, but I know your saving the wood. I look forward to seeing the next vid. Don't work so hard you break yourself.
I know for the trees, it was really the main question at the beginning. Do i let it raw or do i cut most of them to bring back olive tree to lives. And my love for olive trees won. I know its gonna be long but there will be so many trees and plants in the futur and of course i keep all this wood that I cut to burn it in the cabin in winter. I also tryied to keep some big parts so maybe I will do big piece of wood in it as construction material for the house.

The tiers in the land help to prevent erosion. I fear that where you have removed the stone walls to make the path ways will erode with heavy rainfall.
I understand what you say, we will see with the time but I'm not sure, there has already been big rainfall and for the moment nothing moved. The tiers are here because of the natural relief, I think they had no choice. Time will tell but I hope you are wrong 😅

@@kevdaud water won't absorb when it's running, it has to stand to be absorbed. The soil will dry out over time and become hard and the water will absorb less and less. You can use the cut logs to create berms to allow the rain water to stand and absorb. The logs break down over time and add organic matter to the soil to keep it nourished and viable and the rain waiter absorbs much faster.
Wow those Diggers sure come in handy
For sure !

Next time setting post, you can do the same but use c-clamps to clamp onto the post and drive a stake into the ground screwing the bottom of the brace board to the stake. Do this before you pour your concrete, faster, stronger and won't move.
Well done. Very inspiring. I felt like I was on call waiting with your music! Any extra tunes you have created that can also share with us?
Thank you, it was my first time doing this kind of thing. To be honnest I've done this because I don't have internet connection at home so i had to find another way to put à song on this video. But now I like the concept so I'll try to do the same thing for each video.

Holy shit, you live in a small stone cottage on the side of a mountain in the French countryside? I live in a small stone cottage on the side of a mountain in the Santa Cruz countryside.

I'm confused as to why knock the stairs down inside. I shall wait to see the next video inside. Good luck to you. Very beautiful place.
Hello, you will see more in the next video. It was the fruit of a long reflection on how can I gain places and manage to put all the thing I want in a small place. And so i decided to move the stair in another place of the cabin.

I’m looking for something like this! In the haute Provence somewhere between Sospel and Verdon. May I ask how much you paid? And how did you find it? Merci!!
Good thinking to remove the stump and roots.
I had a corner of my driveway collapse 15 years after it was built.
The contactor buried stumps as fill as if "who will know?".
I almost broke an axle when I rode over it and the spot disappeared beneath my tires
cool, bel endroit! chanceux va!
Je te remercie 😉

Great video but next time maybe you could vary the tunes. That one tune through the whole thing was monotonous to say the least. I ended up muting and it was better. You've got a wonderful little property there after so much hard work.

I'm sorry, I'm just discovering UA-cam, what do you mean exactly ?
@@kevdaud when uploading you can chose to include CC. It’s basically words on the screen for us that need to read what you are saying. It also translates when you speak a different language. I can’t always play a video with sound so I like to read what you are saying. But I must say you did caption on your own so thank you. I just wasn’t sure if there was more being said that I couldn’t hear.

Hello, thank for your comment and being here. I agree with you about the membrane, professionnal usualy put it but after a few talk with a few people I decided not to put it. Maybe it was a mistake. Time will tell probably next winter 😅 but until now it's been working perfecty

Congratulations beautiful place.
Thank you Rafael,
I thougt a little the same, I try to do something a little different for the next one. I made one mistake when I recorded all this without sound because I could have used the original sound of each videos instead of the music on the whole video..

Sad story
hmmm all dry walls... i wonder if a bit of concrete would not make more lasting walls
That's a good question. Those dry wall are almost 200 years old and still standing. I try to go the old way, if it doesn't last, I'll think about concrete
Did you know about RAISING VOYAGERS on youtube? Check them out🤗
Dry wall much better as water can drain through (why they last so long). Concrete is a terrible way to go- and it will end up breaking anyway! I am in France and renovating similar kind of project- you are doing walls correct way imo ;)
Can you slow the video down a bit please ... especially when you're worning as it's going too fast.
Of course, I'll

Another machinery addict .. to be honest I didn't like the video - using heavy equipment, burning tons of fuel and making so much noise for such simple landscaping is a bit "too much" .. but I understand that some guys today just have no idea how to use a good old shovel, wheelbarrow and rake to make things happen :))
Best of luck with your project!
I totally agree with you. We could all live like 200 years ago when they first builded thoses terraces with maybe less tools than what you said, and also share those videos via homing pigeon or whatever. No joke. The only difference is that they were probably 20 or 30 mens working here, and if my memories are clear a few prisonners.
Today, I'm alone 99% of the times, I have one hour drive to come and one hour more to leave, and a whole house and its land to renovate and take care of. I don't really want to add a fourth herniated disc or another broken lumbar vertebra to my personnal record. Thats the reason why I decided to go with the digger, and the truck, and the cordless tools powered by battery, and I write this comment from a smartphone which is maybe even worst for the planet than the few gallons of fuel that I've used for the digger, and maybe so you did. Time is precious, and I don't want to spend 2 years and hurt my body more than it already is, for something that could be done more easily in a few thanks to a machine that I personnaly love to drive.
But I do respect people Who made the choice to work the old hard way, and there is a lot of those People here on UA-cam with primitive construction channel. Once again, I dont say that my opinion is the truth, But I just wanted to share my point of view with you like you did it with me.
Thanks for your comments and for viewing despite of our different point of view.

Damn, I was sure there was a cabin on the yard. My bad
In order for the house to look good you have to have curb appeal. Did you see him demo the inside stairs? That’s renovating. That land needed it badly. Looks good. Love the stone house.
@@Jazz1959 curb appeal? Ok. I apologize I’m the bad guy. I’ll take my very simple criticism that was meant to be lighthearted humor poking fun at the title. People get so defensive over the simplest of things.
