    I never could have Imagined that watching someone repair a stone wall would be so enjoyable. We are all rooting for you Terry, cheering you on, every stone you replace, every JUST job you find to do. You make us all proud to be part of your family’s journey 💗

    Your mother is such a blessing to you. Never have I seen a woman who works as hard as she does. Gate and wall are looking great. Also it was nice seeing Jonathan again if only in snippets. Hope he's doing well.😊

    A summer in the French countryside with the scent of lavender in the evening and happy voices all around you, I guess it makes all the hard labour worth your effort. It's clear that you are all very caring people and somehow your sense of honesty shines through too. You have already achieved so much to protect the chateau. Obviously, your project means much more to you than just a faithful restoration, it's seems like a genuine rebirth. Bit by bit you are finding all the scattered pieces of history, eventually their purposes and significance will be revealed. Bonne chance.

    Terry, you have turned into quite the stonemason!! This fence and gate will look amazing once done. Great idea for keeping this area a family entrance. I like that the fact that there appears to be a lot of shade there too. Well done you two!!

      Fantastic job. You can turn your hand to anything you do there. Please take care with your decor - try not to make it to English as it will not suit the style of the French Chauteu.

    Honestly you are all brilliant! If you had just shown the wall finished I would have thought it had always been there. I would be surprised if you hadn't been approached by other people to give them lessons on how to repair their walls. What a hard working family you are and I take my sun hat off to you. Well done once again. It was lovely to see Johnathon helping out too. He is learning so much from you all. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 ❤

    Love watching your channel! You all work hard and actually use your Patreon money to improve the chateau instead of traveling and buying crap constantly. A renovation channel that actually does renovations. Makes me so happy to see these older properties come back to life and the artistry involved not be lost to nature like so many others in France. Well done, and much respect!

  • @michaelmcclafferty3346

    Your octagon stone and the other stone could have been foot pillars for bigger vertical timbers holding up a cross beam on the entrance to a barn etc.

    • @riocaz
      @riocaz Год назад +9

      They definitely look like pillar bases.

    • @michaelmcclafferty3346
      @michaelmcclafferty3346 Год назад +5

      In addition, the octagon stone suggests that it was used in a more prominent or visible location near the chateau.
      Granite is very difficult to cut and would be expensive even then. The other plainer stones suggest somewhere less visible.

    What ever they were, the found stones will make a small ‘Greek ruin‘ in the midst of Tracy’s rockery and be great accents for the herbs and succulents you’ve planted. The wall looks marvelous. You have become true masons - next skillset will be cutting stone.

    Terry, the hex stone you have found, I think may be a end pillar stone at the end of a stone garden staircase. I was watching some else's vlog last night, and this is what prompted me. You are all doing a greatcjob rebuilding the gateway/wall ❤

  • @RosemarieComtois-qs8ce
    @RosemarieComtois-qs8ce Год назад +6

    I am very curious how the iron fence that's damaged as though something ran into it , can be straightened out. I love rocks , so I love watching you and your mom , rebuild the tumbled down rock walls ! They look wonderful when they are finished. They are a sort of picture frame around the gorgeous main structure . I love the rockery ! The entire property is magnificent and would have crumbled into oblivion if your family had not had a great vision for restoration. Posterity salutes your dedication.

  • @edwardulrich1515
    @edwardulrich1515 Год назад +4

    Another job is nearly completed and is looking fantastic. These crumbling walls remind me of Sisyphus in Greek mythology. Every time he rolled a huge boulder up a hill, it came back down. Every time you repair one wall, another wall 🧱 is found crumbling and needs repairing. Soon, you will be creating your own legends ✨️ 💜 Great work as always! 🧱 🌚🌞

    Terry, watching you maneuvering those heavy stones for the wall around- it would be easier on your lower back to wear one of those lumbar suppporting belts. Furniture movers and lots of labourers wear them and they are comfortable. Just a thought to prevent an injury…❤

    The amount of stone walls you have on your property is massive. Terry and Tracy with the help of Ash and Jonathan have restored miles of stone work. So extremely impressive, and the finished results are stunning!! I can see that entrance looking so beautiful with some flowering plants. Maybe use the octagonal stones as bases for urns filled with flowers as you enter your personal driveway. Beautiful!!! xx

  • @tinekejoldersma
    @tinekejoldersma Год назад +11

    It is a beautiful entrance and looks good now. You two are quite a team, Mom and son. The pin looks like the base of a vase of granite. Perhaps the two octagonal stones are underneath those. If you can rummage to the vineyards or antique store, you might find a couple of stunning vases to put on top, filled with flowering plants.

  • @rayn8740
    @rayn8740 Год назад +1

    I love that you just keep plowing forward. You tick one more item off the list and move on.
    The wall is looking great. I can't wait to see what color you choose to paint the gate. With your attention to detail, it really will be a show place again.
    BTW... What's going on with the plan for the walled garden? I seem to recall mention of laying out the parterre pathways. The longer you wait, the more time weeds have to reinvade the space. Will you install a drip irrigation system?
    Love to you all!❤❤❤❤❤

  • @Grendelbc
