When you live rurally, there's nothing better than wonderful neighbors who pitch in at a moment's notice. You're all lucky to have bought adjoining properties and found each other!

[@janeblandford852]

So sorry to hear this sad news about the cracked lintel and what a blessing that you happened to look up. So glad that your friends are able to help you!

[@sallymoffit3751]

Thank goodness for the owl box. So grateful.

[@nelleg152]

Glad you noticed that beam ❤

[@gloriasmestad3803]

Well, looking on the bright side, it’s a good thing Rols was working in the barn and happened to glance at the window and the beam, thereby realizing what the danger was! So glad your friends were there to help stabilize everything! Looks like you two are preparing to take care of the outbuildings before things get out of hand. You two are definitely attuned to your chateau’s needs! Good catch!

[@user-jm6pm3kr4y]

I love how neighbors pull together when needed. Another big project to tackle. You both are amazing Deborah North Carolina 😊❤

[@zoecooper6436]

How scary for you Rols! Good job you happened to look up when you did. What a good friend you have in Rob. I hope you manage to get the beam/lintel sorted out really quickly so you can go back in the barn to split logs again. I love watching the log splitter in action 😊

[@normamurray4450]

Good friends, good neighbours can't be beat, especially where you live, which is absolutely beautiful. Thank goodness no one was hurt when the lintel dropped and stopped where it did!

[@wheretheroadtakesus523]

Thank god you noticed the beam. So glad you can now take the necessary precautions to prop the area and eventually save all the roof.

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

That is really a beautiful old barn - so glad you noticed the beam and were able to secure it! Thank goodness for good friends to help!

[@charmees6637]

What a Bummer regarding the collapse of the lintel. So glad you have a friend close to lend a hand it pays to be observant sometimes 🙏

[@janegendreau6595]

Quick thinking, a good temporary solution & good, helping friends saved the day, Rols & Suzie!! Glad it wasn't any more catastrophic!! Don't think I've ever realized what a huge area that barn is & there's more!! Be safe, you pair!! Blessings!! 🇺🇸

[@louiseemerson331]

It was providential you discovered that broken lintel Rols! Glad you have the situation under control!

[@lisaharner3720]

So glad you noticed it and were able to support that beam in time. How scary! 😱

[@kathywillis7459]

So glad you were able to put a stop to the beam coming down. Whew!

[@marilynnash1197]

Special neighbours and friends. Hope you manage to sort it eventually. 😊

[@user-px2ys7kg9s]

Thank goodness for looking up Rols and the owl box was there. Good neighbors like Rob and Suzie is a blessing, so glad you have them and they have you. The props are up so the panic is gone. A few weeks and the new lintel can go in, that’s a reassuring thought. Stay save Suzie and Rols. Best wishes Tina 😘

[@NatMCI]

Heck, I had a bit of an anxiety attack and almost an asthma attack watching this video!!!! So happy that the place is a bit more safe now!!! Take care, Natasha

[@someoneelsemothermother8259]

Oh dear wishing you best of luck.

[@nancibishof6462]

Perhaps replace that lintel while the acros are supporting the beam. Old buildings have a way of insisting they be paid attention. Its a good thing you noticed the damage to the lintel.
