    Here on my channel, I am renovating a 250 year old stone cottage on my property in Normandy, France. By using traditional, low-waste and off-grid methods, I'm aiming to keep the charm and character of this old building, and turn it into a furnished, finished home for family whilst keeping environmental impact as low as possible. There will also be content on living in France, visiting beautiful rural places, hunting for antiques, gardening and more! Hit subscribe if you would like to keep up with my journey, and hit the notification bell to be alerted when we go LIVE where we have a first viewing of the video as it is published with a live chat so I can answer all your questions! See you in Sean's World.

    Your cats have the best life. They are indoor cats that get safe outside time. I also enjoy learning, by watching how you restore an old building and bring it to a habitable state.

    Totally agree with you on the insulation. The better insulated a building is, the more comfortable the building is, winter or summer.

    • @clicker7019
      @clicker7019 13 дней назад +3

      Agreed. Also, why put a hold on it? Then it would never get done! 👍

    At the beginning of the video, I could tell Sean that you were on top of the world. Your enthusiasm and optimistic view point was totally contagious. I began to feel happy and positive, too. Amazing! There is light at the end of the tunnel. The cottage is getter closer to completion which is going to thrill you but thrill tens of thousands viewers also . Every time you buy timber, I admire what great quality the timbers are. I also notice what clean beige sand you purchase from the local merchant. I imagine it comes from some secluded exotic beach. In no time you will begin work on the last cottage on the end. Tom has picked up on your skills. He actually did very well on the rendering he did. Hello to all. Hello from Yakima, Washington, USA.

    Sean, I love watching you work on the cottage. It’s so satisfying to see it be brought back even better than it was in its heyday. The cats look so happy outside in their play area. I watch all of your videos and like and comment on each one. Hope it helps your algorithms. Xx

    Great idea to prep for any future window. It will be much easier to install one if you decide to and have the “bones” already in place. Your explanations as you work are very informative. I am a retired grandmother in Canada and will never do those types of jobs but nevertheless I find watching you and your “can do” approach really interesting and enjoyable. Thanks for another great video Sean!

    Great job Sean! I like that you can add a window later. It would be nice for cross ventilation. Plus much more light. People do not realize haw good the silver mylar products are. It can reflect up to 90% of heat or cold. Years ago I came up with an idea for my window shades/curtains. Some people were making widow "quilts". I decided to make them with the single sheet of mylar in them and quilt batting. They look nice and have saved me so much in heating and cooling cost. When I want to wash them I gently swish them out in the bath tub and hang dry. I think that they may be made commercially now. Have a good day!

    Hmm... well I did think 2 were enough for me as we only spend time sleeping and or bathing so much so I wouldn't other than the bath. Ventilation in the bath is important :) other than windows as well.

    Very clever to prepare the roof for a window and still cover it. In the future, it will save so much work!
    Who wouldn't put in insulation!? But of course I live in New York, were it's in the 90's in the summer, and -30's in the winter 😆
    Your work is inspiring 👍👍

    Sean I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but can you tell us the height of the room. When you do closer shots of what you're doing it's hard to tell.
