3 - Petite Old Barn Was Fully Overgrown!

We're clearing the area around the chicken coop and shed, getting rid of the old, overgrown fencing. Meanwhile, amidst all the action, watch Odin's adorable attempts at crawling.

Hello from New Zealand, Wow you have done so much work, very hard worker, it is looking so good,

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thank you Sharon!

[@raymondwright2660]

I love how you are going about bringing the property back to life and recovering for re use all of the materials possible.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thx Raymond, some thing we will repurpose, some will be too far gone and will go the recycling center or if it is wood it will go into heating our home in the winter. 👍

[@LoaK-ny5ro]

Hello there! Your new home seems really wonderful byt also a handful! My tip for you is that you don´t have to put energy in clearing any vegetation from wherever you plan to have a chicken coop. They will gladly do it for you in a week 😀.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Loa, i don't know if they eat brambles? We might get some goats for helping us in the fields! 👍

[@cindyblair1283]

Your channel popped up so I am enjoying them. The hard work you both have put in cleaning up the property is amazing! I can’t wait to see all of them and excited for your family for a beautiful little paradise your making it to be. Thank you for sharing and God bless❤🇺🇸 OHIO

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello Cindy, Thx for joining us!! Hope you continue to enjoy our videos, some better then others 😅Lets hope it pops up for more people it does help us a lot!

[@user-it2jo8bx4n]

What a gorgeous baby you are doing so well, don’t forget you have to give chickens time to get used to a new home so will need some sort of fence for a while

[@DomaineSauvage]

We put them in their coop for a day or two i think and since then they free roam and come back ❤

[@user-ih5gm2uc1i]

Odin is soooo cute ❤

[@DomaineSauvage]

He sure is! 😍

[@lesserpoo]

Those cement tiles from the rabbit coops would make a great patio base.

[@evamariahuge-ud4zn]

I hope the tiles of the rabbitboxes are not made with asbestos. They are realy thin.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Eva, good point! I haven't seen the asbestos fibers in them yet.

[@LimousinLife]

Great work clearing the shed. Its bringing the place back to life.

[@DomaineSauvage]

The property has a lot of potential but it needs a lot of love. It has always been in one family but at a certain time they started to rent it out and didn't take care of it anymore. They had difficulties selling it though because of the memories they had with the grandparents. But in the end it maybe was the better decision to give the place a new lease on life instead of letting it get run down 👍

[@LimousinLife]

@DomaineSauvage This is a very familiar story, the family we bought from built our place. We keep in touch and actually, we want them to be happy with what we do. You must feel you've bought into someone's heritage.

[@ciaobella8963]

God bless you. 😊🌷

[@coolcpa3321]

I'm sure you'll find someone who wants the materials from the dismantled rabbit hutches. Your baby is so cute; such a love bug!

[@DomaineSauvage]

They are still stored away, i need to put them on leboncoin that's a secondhand website in France.

[@IPC0101]

Thanks for your videos, the recording quality, drone footage etc is excellent, good luck on your journey

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey IPC, thx for the compliments! 😀

[@kray2001]

I just found your channel this evening. Love the clearing of the land, but the baby is so happy and cute. I went back to the beginning. Wonderful content..

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello! Thx for the compliments! Thx for the support 👍

[@leslyehowell3390]

You have done so much in 3 weeks. You both Tremaine undaunted by the amount of work you have yet to do. I am sure you both will do well with this property. Most Americans wouldn’t buy this property due to all the work that it needs. To achieve a sustainable life I am certain that you will be successful.

[@DomaineSauvage]

@@leslyehowell3390 Thx!

[@catiasantos-albino1189]

I’m watching all the videos!! You two are doing an awesome job!

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thx Catia! Thx for supporting us! 👍

[@clickswiipemarketing7518]

After having chickens and allowing them to wander l found the poop everywhere and had to French them off! Good luck with everything! X

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yes this is indeed a big downside especially during summertime they like to come on the "terrace" where we eat and do their business... 😂

[@clickswiipemarketing7518]

Fench even!!!!!!

[@growingmyown]

Marie you really bite the pepper,you brave sah 😢😢😢 you have just about every Jamaican favorite fruit plants..glad to see you are not buying tomatoes anymore.

[@DomaineSauvage]

I don't know if this comment was meant for this video? But thank you anyway! 😅

[@neutonrenda2303]

You guys came well prepared for the clearing up with all the tools. It makes a huge difference, love all the stonework, it looks like you're getting it done just in time to save it.👍

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yeah i am a plumber by trade so i already had lots of tools luckily. Garden tools i bought before coming here or when we were here. Yeah the stonework is what we love as well, the pointing needs to be redone though.

[@janarixalam5205]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Thx!!

I can see many happy memories with your son on the land. He's going to love it.👍

We hope soo :)

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Too bad about the Elderflower. It makes a great cordial. Mixed with sparkling water it's very refreshing in summer. With alk the nettles, maybe you ought to consider a couple of goats. They'd certainly keep the nettles and brambles down. If you have a neighbor with goats, ask if you can borrow them for a few days. We have a couple of companies with herds of goats that will come and clear weeds, brambles and grasses. It would save you hours from cutting them yourselves.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Abigail, we have lots more on the property but the ones growing on dirty ground we are going to take down, we don't enjoy taking down trees but some have to move so we can improve and clean the soil. We were going to have goats but we put a hold on it for now because taking on animals was going to give us an extra workload. We would like to have them in the future once we are more settled in and can give them the proper care. Anicia her bonus dad has goats and he was holding on to babies but we cancelled it for now. He indeed uses them to keep his fields clean for him! 👍

[@shirleygraham6229]

Italians in the northern area also love their rabbits. Your surrounds are looking wonderful. Love to see it cleared. Did you know chooks love porridge? I worried about the cold and tried it for our chooks. Bit of a burden, but cheap enough and none was wasted. Surprisingly they adore prawn scraps, scales, head, absolutely raced to be first. Odd.

[@DomaineSauvage]

In Belgium they used to breed a lot of rabbits for eating as well. We never grew up with eating rabbit 😅. Yeah we moved from Belgium to here to be out of the city and enjoy nature more! I had to look up what chooks were 😂. The chickens are looking better now as this winter was very damp and rainy even in their coop. We haven't tried giving them porridge yet, we do give them all the scraps from the kitchen.

[@petebartlett2229]

Chickens are basically wearing a feather quilt… Porridge clogs them up,very dangerous

[@shirleygraham6229]

@@petebartlett2229 Whoops. And they loved it too. Probably good I don't have chickens now.

[@TheGalifrey]

Those concrete boxes were Rabbit hutches, I have 8 in my garden as well.

[@DomaineSauvage]

I still have them, need to put them up for sale or for free 👍

[@TheGalifrey]

@@DomaineSauvage There are dozens going for free as nobody uses them anymore, mine will likely end up as hardcore or used to line a drain.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Yeah if no one wants them we will make rubble out of them and put it under the drive way.

[@petermurphy994]

Hi loving the content may I say your content is a bit dark and under exposed but loving the taking shape of your homestead.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hello Peter, you are absolutely correct! In our later videos starting from video 30 we pay a lot of attention to the correct exposure settings! Thx for watching and supporting us and commenting 👍

[@karlahernandez5750]

I have had chickens for years. If you let them free roam they are more likely to get killed by something. I lost chickens to raccoons, dogs, bob cats and hawks. Many of those predators broke into my coops. Also chickens destroy gardens and have no problem with coming in the house if you leave a door open. I love chickens but you have to provide a safe place for them and a rooster will not help.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey, in the later videos we will loose a chicken to a fox and one to a hunting dog... But we put our dog outside when the chickens are out and since then we have been fine!

[@neutonrenda2303]

I'm sure the whip snake caused some whiplash.😂

[@DomaineSauvage]

The only other times i have come across snakes is when i was really young and worked a year in australia :) but seeing it pop up above your head is not always the nicest feeling. I do think they are beautifull just not too close 😂

[@margiemistretta8885]

Such a cutie!

[@linajackson4545]

I have had chickens for a few years now and in that time had numerous fox massacres of the entire flock of chickens. I do advise against removing that fence which is there for a very good reason!!

[@DomaineSauvage]

Hey Lina, These videos are in the past so the fence has already been taken down! But you are right we lost some chickens and have since then put the dog outside while the chickens are free ranging! This seems to work for now 👍

[@susanwright4108]

I agree. Also it looks like the netting to roll over the top is to protect them from raptors. Just don’t throw away any of the netting or fencing as I’m sure you will be reusing it. You will save a lot of money by saving all forms of netting and fencing. Also to protect fruit from birds. It’s a beautiful property.

[@DomaineSauvage]

Thank you Susan, a lot of the netting was torn and overgrown with brambles so we had to get rid of it. Some of the fencing and poles we reused in other places! @@susanwright4108
