Your a legend Budo. You ought to leave a mark on all your work, in hundreds of years time when builders are doing maintenance they can marvel at your work and know it was all done by the same artist.

Have a nice holiday. Be sure you get some sunshine.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Happy holidays! And thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@AnnNortham]

So pleased to see the kitchen again, I have 8 doors that don’t fit or close properly my husband doesn’t’ but we do have a beer fridge. The barn wall frightens me😢

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Oh wow! Thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@annettesharrock1236]

Rain and more rain same here, but at least I have not got to do any renovation Loving the beam you carved out Budo looks very effective. Nice job on the door. Loved watching as always .😘

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Annette 😍🙏❤️xxx

[@peterwhite9261]

That door is hung perfectly, and so is the beam. Awesome job, Budo and Tracy.❤

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Peter have a great week 😍🙏

[@jonimarchese7655]

Bonjour Tracy and Budo, you have definitely had more than your share of year this year. Budo, you still are the door hanging king. OMG, budo, well done on the beam, I just think you are the all-around King of everything, you truly are the master of your craft. The kitchen is looking so, so good. Great job this week. Love from N.Y.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Joni for your love comment have a great week 😍🙏

[@inabates8919]

Should carve a date into that beam Budo,of restoration

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Great idea Ina thank you 😍🙏

[@denisemastromina7821]

Budo that lintel in the the barn is just a work of art, 👍👍👍

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Denise 😍🙏

[@Phyllis-st8dd]

Surprised you didn't decide to go with a Dutch-door on that outside accessible area.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

We put a closed in door for security reasons thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@NannieG-y6v]

And rain stopped play 😂…..that lintel is truly a piece of art , there forever, great job Budo, time now for a bowl of warm soup and some crusty bread. 🎉

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

You got that right! Thank you for way Nannie G 😍🙏

[@CherylHunteman]

Budo, putting that beam in all by yourself is amazing.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

It truly is thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@briandevitt6903]

A big job to be tackling on your own in those conditions Budo. Makes me wish I could stick on me gear and give you a hand mate.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

That would be great Brian thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@lfurches]

We had a nasty hurricane come through our state (North Carolina) and it did some small damage to our drive (washed out the gravel and our new lawn where we had recently seeded. Sure, we knew about the storm but with hurricanes and tropical systems you never know what they have in mind about how they want to move. This one moved a bit to the East and made our lives a bit harder. Ugh Rain. It is raining again this evening and probably tomorrow. Oh well, you just have to keep on Keeping on, right?! Lol. Have a good week guys. I just laid out my garden like you taught me. It took all weekend to weed and lay the barrier (bashing) and cardboard, but it is done!

[@Phyllis-st8dd]

Poor people who didn't fare as well, mother nature sure can be wicked. Sorry about your new lawn, maybe you can bring it back 😊

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Wow how amazing and we are so happy our videos are helping you 😍🙏your Lavender sachets are on there way hope you like them 😍🙏

[@Melicoy]

I ordered you some sunshine ok?

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you 🙏 you are so kind 😍🙏

[@LifeIsButADreem]

I tried the Reolink solar. Good luck with as much rain as you get, I'm in Seattle and some months we don't get enough sunlight to power a toothbrush. You will probaply need to wire it to an outlet. It is a good product, but the solar option is iffy, IMO.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching 😍🙏

[@Phyllis-st8dd]

Good on ya, water purification is so important, nasty stuff floride ! Does so much brain damage, should be outlawed ! Hoping if our current situation changes, in the states, RFK will get to the bottem of that, among other things. Fingers crossed. Thank you, as always, for sharing. Sincerely in San Diego California

[@Phyllis-st8dd]

Budo, glad you didn't have a breakdown and start cryin over the warped door 😂 sorry, I just had to say it 😅

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

We agree 100% Phyllis thank you for watching have a great week 😍🙏

[@stephenarthy6593]

[@PhilG0BVD]

Another excellent video showing brilliant skills Budo. Will be fabulous seeing the worktops being made and fitted you will have a very happy Tracy. Have a great week both.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much have a great week 😍🙏

[@hoosieriphone]

I know you have to treat the wood for woodworm. Do you ever treat the wood with a hardener? We do that here in the states. Love the videos.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Yes we do Tracy did this in the Chateau Farmhouse Bedroom 😍🙏

[@CliveCocks-t3y]

Budo I think your a reborn carpenter from times gone bye love the work

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Hi Clive thank you I do believe I am in the wrong time zone some times I feel I am out of time and should have been around hundreds of years ago if you get my meaning buddy 🍺🤠👍🏻

[@jandolph7509]

That beam is just beautiful. I love the look. One thing about France. You sure receive the rain. My allergies would be a problem for me. Boy, Tracey, I wish you had the vine trimmer by Dewalt. I told you about. It would sure save your hands.💙🐕💙🐕💙🇺🇸

[@jandolph7509]

It is actually called a battery operated pruner kit.😊

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you so much Jan for watching and thanks once again for the suggestion have a good week 😍🙏

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Keep praying for us 😍🙏

[@CD-Oylee]

Yaaayyy! Congrats on your American style fridge. You'll never want to go back to the UK/European fridge after having that beauty. Think about the nice tall glasses of filtered "ice water" you will have on those hot days of working out in the fields.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

So true! Thank you for watching 🙏😍

[@UCLALJR]

Lovely to watch your skill! We would call that redwood here in WA, and I wonder where your sequoia comes from, South America? Your carving on the beam looks so beautiful next to the rough stone! Thanks for another interesting vlog!

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

The sequoia is growing here in France and the UK 🇬🇧 I think the UK has more then is in the states now and we grow both giant red wood as well there very similar 😀 😉

[@ToyotaFJOntario]

Budo, with those ‘curls’ you and Tracy would be twins 😂❤

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

but mine were pink LOL 🍺🤠👍🏻

Finally home and watching, trying to catch up, the kitchen is really beginning to take shape now, shame about the rain to stop work on the barn though!

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Welcome back! We hope you had a great time 😍🙏xxx

Coming along nicely Budo and Tracy, Yes the rain here in France is an absolute pain. I want to go and work outside but we have had days of rain here in Brittany and its impossible. Hope that you are both well, greeting from Plessala.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you Kim yes the weather is disappointing to say the least and thank you all the best Budo x

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you Kim it has been relentless this year hopefully you will be able to get work done outside. Hava a good week 😍🙏xx

[@pennyneal2456]

Budo have you ever watched Carl Rogers? Wonderful young woodworker in France as well. 😊

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Hi penny thank you no I haven’t watched Carl I don’t get time to watch KZbin much and being a fully fledged carpenter and joiner cabinet maker my self I’m really not interested in watching other people doing what I already know if you get what I mean xx

[@_Tiamat_.]

💜💙💚

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you x

[@williammcrae3177]

Surprised your refrigerator doesn’t come with an internal and changeable charcoal filter?

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Yes that would of made sense William I think it's because it's a cheaper one buddy

[@cathleen8302]

Just for giggles. How much does that solid door weigh that you are tossing around like the cheap hollow doors we have in the states?

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Thank you cathleen yer it’s not a problem for me I’m used to lifting heavy stuff I’ve done it all me life and all so I had me tin of spinach and eggs this morning lol xx
