[@philtas6457]

Le beau temps! Great news!! Dan’s respectful and courteous manner of dealing with subscriber concerns is amazing. He simply shared, for example, how the footings were on bedrock, showed how he has been pinning the blocks to the walls and explained that this wall will be rendered. He never retaliates but simply and graciously explains. Top marks Dan. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Hopefully by now people should know that he knows what he's doing and if he runs into problems he'll work it out with engineers, architects and those around him. The last place he should be taking building advice from is the comment section on YT. It's France they have their own building codes.

[@alanduncan3337]

Concrete is used in even the most sympathetic of restoration projects. Don't apologise for using it. You are saving a beautiful building when no one else was prepared to take the risk.👏

[@michellebyrom6551]

Concrete isn't as eco friendly as wooden or lime plastered straw bale houses, it's true. Those are for new builds. In solid structures undergoing restoration like this it's appropriate, given its life expectancy. There's plenty of Roman concrete still around alongside stone in their ruins. Given that long-term view, especially in hidden supports like this new wall, a good balance can be found.

[@rachelE894]

Exactly! If it wasn't for Dan taking this on, and him and his team working so hard, this building would have rotted away as i doubt anyone else would take on such a challenge.

[@Rocklyn277]
