I’ve been watching all your videos from the beginning to recently!! Just love watching such a a kind gentle lady!!! You have such a great friend and a handyman. I plan on getting a chateau in France. All of my ancestors came from Europe. Moms is full Norwegian and my dad from England and France. I have royal blood running on both side of my parents!! I have a strong pull to France. Charlemagne is my sooo many great grand father. William the conqueror also William Cecil who was the most trusted advisor to queen Elizabeth 1. And so on. I’m sorry about that I get carried away on that stuff. But I’ll be doing my search for a chateau on my own. My husband passed away. So I guess thats why I watch you. Single woman on this amazing adventure. So I get inspired more and more as I watch your videos. I can do this. Thank you for the inspiration!!! Well now I’m gabbing!!😂. Lots of love from Tennessee!!

I had a 100 year old farm house in NC. What I went thru was nothing compared to this. You have a job ahead of you . Or should I say adventure. It life. Live it! My daughter's name is Chloe. 20 year old student at UC Berkeley. Cute dog you have there. Good name. Why would you ever leave there? Looks like you have dwarf crested iris coming up around that big tree. Lucky girl. Also, I know it's a huge chore but you have to get the ivy off the trees. It will kill them.

60 f is 15-16 Celsius, still chilly but warming up. Everything is looking so nice and serene. The grounds have had so much work and look tidier. Enjoy your stay. It will be hard to leave. I hope all goes well for you and you achieve what you set out to do. You can divert the cave mosquito pool to water an existing garden bed and do a small pool area near that or a free standing one with a solar fountain.

4 metre x 5 metre fibreglass form plunge pool 👌 fibreglass form not too heavy like concrete pool. Lots of people use those types of forms here in Australia and cheaper than concrete form. Also use magnesium to treat water in pool a little more expensive for magnesium against the cost of chlorine or salt but great for the skin unlike the salt/chlorine.The area would look lovely with glass fencing around the pool and some nice low foliage e.g. flowering bushes/shrubs. Just a thought. I've subscribed and will definitely keep watching your channel to see how you go with all your renos. Oh and by the way wire mesh attached to reno bars concreted into holes drilled deep into top of cliff then spray concrete over mesh. It will hold great as long as you have weep holes in sprayed concrete wall to allow water to get out from behind sprayed concrete wall. Cheers

About that small room with the tile roof, why not go ahead and fix its roof, since apparently only one tile has been broken in how many years and it should be relatively easy to repair compared to stabilizing the whole cliff face. The cliff has probably been peacefully exfoliating with temperature changes for centuries and need not be considered a problem. Just sweep up the rubble occasionally and enjoy its natural eroded beauty.
