COULD THIS STOP US MOVING FORWARD WITH THE BARN RENOVATION!!!!

Bonjour to you from our homestead here in Normandy France.
In this weeks video there has been a few set backs.
Budo and Tracy have to revert to plan b and there is a discovery on the Barn renovation that could stop them moving forward with the renovation.

Follow our journey as we renovate an abandoned ancient old farmhouse we bought and creating a off grid homestead by being self-sufficient growing our own food and creating an orchid for fruit, managing our own fire wood with our two woodlands to give us free heating and hot water and making every thing we need in our renovation like the doors, windows, floors, staircases, Kitchen, panelling, bathroom, porch, and many more projects as I'm a Carpenter & Joiner using my skills to build this dream which you can see in lots of our videos we have all ready loaded up on our channel and also we will be sharing our crafts and also Tracy will be doing all the soft furnishings in our farm house on our homestead. So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

[@jrosesftv]

You need to pull extra electric at the barn end so it can go into the fuse box. Does the Ethernet cable have shielding? If not, it will get electrical interference from the electric cable. This will degrade the speed of the internet in the barn. You guys are the best.

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

High there is enough cable there for the job and the cat 6 is shielded and for under ground all the best Budo 👍🏻

Having a space to work and build things for the home and other projects will be a great relief for both of you. It one thing some stuff has to be in the area, but the struggle is real when there’s so little space to move about.

The amount of commitment and hard work you both keep generating is inspirational! This was a very interesting vlog. I'm actually excited that you decided to move your attention to the barn for your workshop, Budo. I don't know how much noise your electronic tools generate through 2-3 foot walls, but I assume it's accurate to say that having it further away from your house will mean it will be more quiet and peaceful within the main house when Budo is running those noisey tools! 😉🥰

Bonjour Tracie and Budo, I have to say even though the treasure is in bits, it's an amazing find, someone 100-400 years ago hands made them, it's fantastic. I couldn't believe you found both pieces of the stopper, I hope someday you find the decanter. Well done. I do not understand your cabling system at all, so that's why I have you guys to explain it. The barn drainage is also confusing, but Budo you have explained it perfectly. Well done. Love from N.Y.

I was wondering if you were going to put some kind of metal tie rods in that corner to hold the building together as I’ve seen it done in other old buildings. They are kind of picturesque in that the anchor on the outside is often a star or some other pretty design. But I’ve never heard of basically rebuilding the corner with larger stones to take up the space. That’s very interesting & I will be here to watch you guys do it. I know you said that Tracy will do the work but that looks like a man’s job to me with all those heavy stones, lol. It’s all very exciting!😊

At the barn, will you set up some short eg stone retaining walls (near the cable corner) to hold back the soil from future shifting? I imagine it would also help keep your French drains from plugging up as well as offering a clear walkway.

one of those what they called nerf ball works perfect to suck thru a pipe with a string attached , The next thing after you have a string, you pull a nylon rope, than and not until than do you attach the wires ect that you need to pull into the line. You will never pull a nylon rope that hard to break it.. Another thing is they make a foam that you put on the things you are pulling thru to make them slide easier. Electricians and telephone installs know these things.

I enjoyed seeing and hearing about your finds👍 I think there must be many hundreds of years of habitation at your home site. Who knows what secrets all that land keeps. It would be interesting to find out just how old that barn is. The stone for the barn looks a little different in how it was constructed from the house renovation. It is so pretty, the stone. I’m wondering if this was stone found on the land around the homestead and farm or did it come in from a quarry in the area? I find it amazing how well these structures have survived for so many years and in relatively good shape. If only those walls could talk! Thank you so much for your hard work and for sharing your journey with us 😃👍👍

[@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries]

Hi Melina the barn we now think could have been the original house and is definitely the oldest part of the property as it was a timber frame construction first then stoned in and the timber framing in oak is still there so we keep investigating thank you all the best Budo xx

I love your channel guys! You are both the hardest workers I’ve seen and that barn is going to be epic if the work you’ve done on the cottage is anything to go by! Given the level of your craftsmanship Budo I’m shocked you guys don’t have 100,000 plus subscribers! Not sure what the issue is but it’s a real shame. I’ve noticed some KZbinrs are now doing short daily videos… I’m guessing that wouldn’t leave much time for editing in order to keep up with that kind of pace, but I wonder if that would help? Even if you tried it for a short period? Whatever you end up doing, Im a huge fan and always look forward to your next episode. Keep up the amazing work. Much love from Melbourne, Australia ❤❤

Hi Budo & Tracy. Fascinating video guys. The stones on the side of the barn enabling access to the roof were really interesting. I looked at a farmhouse with a massive barn with a friend and they had hooks at regular intervals on the roof so you could place a ladder on them. As I was watching you pull the cable through I thought I wonder how you would cope with the string breaking....Well done for dealing with that. I would have been tearing my hair out , If I had any. Looking forward to seeing you deal with the subsidence and putting in the new doorway. p.s. Did you get any further with the translation of the carving on the beam inside ? All the best, speak soon. 👍🏼

In his Parisian delicatessen on Place Clichy, Louis Alexandre Salve Patrelle develops a preparation based on liquid caramel and sautéed onions. A few drops from the small glass bottle into broth enhance its color and taste. Two patents were filed in 1876 and 1888, to protect the new Patrelle Aroma. After a first workshop in the town of Romainville in 1852, he moved from the status of trader to that of industrialist in 1889, with the new factory, rue du Garde Chasse aux Lilas, on almost one hectare. In the triangle behind the market and its parking lot, can the residents of 26-38 rue du Garde-Chasse remember that workers from the Patrelle factory worked in this same place? This is where the bottles of the famous Arôme Patrelle (broth with a caramelized onion flavor) were made, before the activity was decentralized in 1964 to Normandy.
