A tip for you to consider 'next time': When I have flaking paint on my 18th Century New England Colonial, I've found that using a small (e.g. 1 inch) flexible putty-knife works best. You can slide it under the flakes and scrape it off in sheets.

True kindness to that little bird..great job..look at what you two have accomplished at the chateau in such a short period of time there with all your hard work..I think God is your guide and your inspiration..and why you keep moving forward with his grace..and seeing successes big and small..the chateau looks just beautiful!

On the other château, KZbin channels where they have bees, they call a beekeeper evidently in France they worry about the bees so they have people you can call to to remove the nest and fix the problem so based on at least three other KZbin channels that I’ve watched in France with château, they called the bee people so you might want to figure out by looking up on the Internet or on your phones how you can get in touch with those types of people in France

We know exactly what you’re going through and how you feel with the birds. You had the patience of Job with that particular bird. We have one chimney that for some reason attracts the birds like a magnet. the chimney is lined and they decide to go down it; unfortunately for them we have a woodstove at the bottom - fortunately for them it’s not always lit, but when we do go to light it, we can hear the birds in the chimney and we have to get them out. Our tool of choice for this is the leaf blower, because they just don’t want to come down. Ultimately the little bit of air gives them the updraft they need to launch them out of the top of the chimney. Just a few days ago when we did this, three birds came out the top of the chimney.

Great job Rob on rescuing the crow from the drain. I know you don’t have piles of money, but is it not possible to hire some locals to help Leslie with the cleaning at Spring time when you are getting ready for the Summer season? It’s an awful lot of work and even one person would be of help. Plus you would be engaging with the local people. 😊❤

I`m sorry... that French bird was not intelligent. Pas l`oiseau le plus intelligent de France, nom d`un petit bonhomme. How the heck do you fall into a gutter pipe, backwards ? Oh well, the important thing is it came out safe and sound. It reminds me of when I rescued a bird about 25 years ago that was in a tree near my house with a length of nylon string twisted around one of his legs, and at the other end twisted around a branch. Went to get a stepladder, cut the string carefully so as not to cut its leg by accident, since he was panicked, and then it flew away. Sometimes you just have to help these little creatures, they get themselves into some really bad situations.

❤❤ Everything a believer does should be to reflect on Christ's example. "Then Jesus told his disciples, If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Matthew 16: 24-26
