We are renovating an old French farm house using lots of traditional materials i.e. lime. wood. Tomette tiles and slate. We will be making as much if not all that is needed to complete the project like making the doors windows staircases plastering with lime & horse hair and hot limes. also taking you on journeys around our area in Normandy to local Brocante's places of history like very old Abbeys towns and villages as well as live chats and meeting local people and friends we have made, popping into other youtubers videos who have become our friends too, we will incorporating crafts we do as well showing how we do things like small cooking vids and Tracy's soft furnishings crochet and knitting projects my Bee keeping system and boxes I am developing and how I catch local Bees and keep to a completely natural system as well as managing our land growing food and lots more over the years coming so sit back and enjoy our journey as we build the channel for our subscribers to enjoy .

Superb work, as always.
Thanks a lot 😊
Budo I think your a reborn carpenter from times gone bye love the work
Hi Clive thank you I do believe I am in the wrong time zone some times I feel I am out of time and should have been around hundreds of years ago if you get my meaning buddy 🍺🤠👍🏻
I love show you explain what you are doing and how to do it! I am learning so much from you!
Thank you so much! and you are welcome all the best Budo xx
Good to see the kitchen coming along ❤ rain rain go away come back …. Next year please 😊
For sure!! Melanie thank you x
Keep praying for us 😍🙏
Coming along nicely Budo and Tracy, Yes the rain here in France is an absolute pain. I want to go and work outside but we have had days of rain here in Brittany and its impossible. Hope that you are both well, greeting from Plessala.
Thank you Kim yes the weather is disappointing to say the least and thank you all the best Budo x
Thank you Kim it has been relentless this year hopefully you will be able to get work done outside. Hava a good week 😍🙏xx
Budo, with those ‘curls’ you and Tracy would be twins 😂❤
but mine were pink LOL 🍺🤠👍🏻
Great work!
Thank you 😊
Just for giggles. How much does that solid door weigh that you are tossing around like the cheap hollow doors we have in the states?
Thank you cathleen yer it’s not a problem for me I’m used to lifting heavy stuff I’ve done it all me life and all so I had me tin of spinach and eggs this morning lol xx
Amazing workmanship as always!
Thank you kindly dave 🙏
And rain stopped play 😂…..that lintel is truly a piece of art , there forever, great job Budo, time now for a bowl of warm soup and some crusty bread. 🎉
You got that right! Thank you for way Nannie G 😍🙏
Another excellent video showing brilliant skills Budo. Will be fabulous seeing the worktops being made and fitted you will have a very happy Tracy. Have a great week both.

Budo that lintel in the the barn is just a work of art, 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Denise 😍🙏
Really pretty
Thank you for watching 😍😍
That beam is just beautiful. I love the look. One thing about France. You sure receive the rain. My allergies would be a problem for me. Boy, Tracey, I wish you had the vine trimmer by Dewalt. I told you about. It would sure save your hands.💙🐕💙🐕💙🇺🇸
It is actually called a battery operated pruner kit.😊
Thank you so much Jan for watching and thanks once again for the suggestion have a good week 😍🙏
Surprised your refrigerator doesn’t come with an internal and changeable charcoal filter?
Yes that would of made sense William I think it's because it's a cheaper one buddy
Should carve a date into that beam Budo,of restoration
Great idea Ina thank you 😍🙏
Fantastic progress. The kitchen is going to be stunning. Please pass on your knowledge.
That's the plan! For the future 😍🙏
Nicely done team. 😊
Thank you 😀🙏
Budo, putting that beam in all by yourself is amazing.
It truly is thank you for watching 😍🙏
Your work is beautiful ..love the mantel so much..your extremely talented with all of your jobs..enjoyed this video!
Thank you so much!🙏😍
I’m so excited for your kitchen stuff!
Very soon! Thank you 🙏😍
We had a nasty hurricane come through our state (North Carolina) and it did some small damage to our drive (washed out the gravel and our new lawn where we had recently seeded. Sure, we knew about the storm but with hurricanes and tropical systems you never know what they have in mind about how they want to move. This one moved a bit to the East and made our lives a bit harder. Ugh Rain. It is raining again this evening and probably tomorrow. Oh well, you just have to keep on Keeping on, right?! Lol. Have a good week guys. I just laid out my garden like you taught me. It took all weekend to weed and lay the barrier (bashing) and cardboard, but it is done!
Poor people who didn't fare as well, mother nature sure can be wicked. Sorry about your new lawn, maybe you can bring it back 😊
Wow how amazing and we are so happy our videos are helping you 😍🙏your Lavender sachets are on there way hope you like them 😍🙏
Lovely to watch your skill! We would call that redwood here in WA, and I wonder where your sequoia comes from, South America? Your carving on the beam looks so beautiful next to the rough stone! Thanks for another interesting vlog!
The sequoia is growing here in France and the UK 🇬🇧 I think the UK has more then is in the states now and we grow both giant red wood as well there very similar 😀 😉
Until next week 🙂
Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Surprised you didn't decide to go with a Dutch-door on that outside accessible area.
We put a closed in door for security reasons thank you for watching 😍🙏
Everything looking so good. Climate change is taking a toll world wide.
Thank you Jean yes it is 😍🙏
Enjoying watching a master craftsman at work 😊
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Bonjour Tracy and Budo, you have definitely had more than your share of year this year. Budo, you still are the door hanging king. OMG, budo, well done on the beam, I just think you are the all-around King of everything, you truly are the master of your craft. The kitchen is looking so, so good. Great job this week. Love from N.Y.
Thank you so much Joni for your love comment have a great week 😍🙏
A big job to be tackling on your own in those conditions Budo. Makes me wish I could stick on me gear and give you a hand mate.
That would be great Brian thank you for watching 😍🙏
Your a legend Budo. You ought to leave a mark on all your work, in hundreds of years time when builders are doing maintenance they can marvel at your work and know it was all done by the same artist.
How wonderful thank you 😍🙏
At least you got rain we’ve had a drought here in New Jersey
Same here in Southern California.
Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Good on ya, water purification is so important, nasty stuff floride ! Does so much brain damage, should be outlawed ! Hoping if our current situation changes, in the states, RFK will get to the bottem of that, among other things. Fingers crossed. Thank you, as always, for sharing. Sincerely in San Diego California
Budo, glad you didn't have a breakdown and start cryin over the warped door 😂 sorry, I just had to say it 😅
We agree 100% Phyllis thank you for watching have a great week 😍🙏
Rain and more rain same here, but at least I have not got to do any renovation Loving the beam you carved out Budo looks very effective. Nice job on the door. Loved watching as always .😘
Thank you so much Annette 😍🙏❤️xxx
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries ♥️
I tried the Reolink solar. Good luck with as much rain as you get, I'm in Seattle and some months we don't get enough sunlight to power a toothbrush. You will probaply need to wire it to an outlet. It is a good product, but the solar option is iffy, IMO.
Thanks for sharing and thank you for watching 😍🙏
So pleased to see the kitchen again, I have 8 doors that don’t fit or close properly my husband doesn’t’ but we do have a beer fridge. The barn wall frightens me😢
Oh wow! Thank you for watching 😍🙏
Beautiful work fitting the Kitchen door and love that beam you put in the barn then you lime mortared it. Love this stuff. All while the weather is unpredictable. Lovely job as usual Budo 👍
Thanks so much! How lovely 😍🙏
It's such a joy to watch you both , your work is impeccable . Can't wait to see more ..
Really nice to have that mid-week gift Tracy gave us. So nice to see her enjoying the girl time with the family in the lavender fields. Really enjoyed.
Thank you so much!😍🙏
Thank you Phyllis it was lovely😍🙏xx
I ordered you some sunshine ok?
Thank you 🙏 you are so kind 😍🙏
Looking really good Budo. Kitchen is coming along nicely. Your directions for hanging the door were easy to follow. The barn Opening will look amazing, with a touch of Budo expert carpentry added for aesthetics. You are a great teacher.
Thank you so much 😍🙏
Looking Great! Well done
Thank you! Cheers! 😍🙏
I know you have to treat the wood for woodworm. Do you ever treat the wood with a hardener? We do that here in the states. Love the videos.
Yes we do Tracy did this in the Chateau Farmhouse Bedroom 😍🙏
You are creating a home for the next 100 years or more! What artistry.
How lovely thank you for watching 😍🙏
The beam is beautiful and will look amazing once the opening has been made. Well done!! The kitchen is really coming along as well....looking good!!
Thanks so much! 😊thank you for watching 😍🙏
