Budo, you're a very lucky bloke, having Tracy to help you with all the hard work. There's not a lot of women who would have the strength and endurance to put in the amount of physical effort and graft that she does. Added to that, her skills and knowledge involved in the kitchen, garden,and her handicrafts making àll the things she sells. Thàt lady is pure gold. I'm certain you know this already, and appreciate it. Imagine how much it would cost to employ someone who puts in the hours and sheer effort that Tracy does. A queen of do it DIY. You make a great team. I follow a few people doing similar projects to yours, but you two are easily yhe most interesting, and enjoyable. So glad you're back on KZbin. 👍👍

Hi Tracy! How have you been? I've been watching some KZbinrs reno kitchens & notice they don't consider which side they want their refrigerator doors to open.

Budo I am sure you could design some attachment for the tractor to cut the lavender mechanically or see if there is something on the market. It will keep the bushes nice around round and save you doing it by hand, you could also eventually press the oil😊 Anyway you and Tracy are grafters and I wish you all the best with the build😊

I will you Tracey on the chandeliers I brought one when I was 23 with my mum in bits at an antique fair but unfortunately I never put it together and it got given away. I will one day have another and restore it but I will leave that for another time and place. Love your bedroom I just want to come and stay in that pretty room, love all the colours in the cushions too, the chairs are beautiful you must be excited Tracey the lady had lovely taste.
