Follow our journey as we renovate an abandoned ancient old farmhouse we bought and creating a off grid homestead by being self-sufficient growing our own food and creating an orchid for fruit, managing our own fire wood with our two woodlands to give us free heating and hot water and making every thing we need in our renovation like the doors, windows, floors, staircases, Kitchen, panelling, bathroom, porch, and many more projects as I'm a Carpenter & Joiner using my skills to build this dream which you can see in lots of our videos we have all ready loaded up on our channel and also we will be sharing our crafts and also Tracy will be doing all the soft furnishings in our farm house on our homestead. So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

What a great building. I love your idea of making money for your homestead. The locals will be blessed to learn from you. You are both so multi-talented. I’m a senior and your lifestyle is what I wished I had been able to do in our life. Wonderful podcast. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and thank you for watching 😍🙏xx
encore un beau projet
Thank you 🙏 merci beaucoup xx
I think you are totally doing the right thing, moving the workshop away from the house... It separates, work from your home.... Plus I'm guessing it will get a bit noisy too.... Your doing so well, looking forward to the next installment, keep up the good work both of you....
Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment 😍xx
Budo and Tracy, that barn is a beautiful structure. It will serve you well in the future. I don't consider it bad luck. These things happen when you unearth ground that hasn't been moved for years. I love your plans. Aside from Budo doing workshops, Tracy has many skills as well. She can teach her crafts and pointing, etc. If she would be interested in that? I think you both will make excellent teachers, instructors or what have you.❤
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment and for appreciating both of our skills it is very much appreciated have a great week 🥰
Great way to work. It will be lovely having the room to move. It will be lovely when the brush is cleared.
Thank you Jean for watching 😍🙏xx
This sounds like a great plan, very practical. It's a beautiful building.Can't wait to see the evolution of the barn. Thanks for sharing.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching 😍🙏xx
It is very logical your plan to renovate the barn first
Thank you Hillie for watching 😍🙏xx
Exactly 💯
Wont take u long ,you are both hard workers ,going to look all nice ,is tracey doing all the pointing on the barn ?
Thank you Theresa in the future l will be pointing but for now we will be concentrating on doing the inside 😍thank you for watching xx
Bravo , yes, you have a great plan, you will do well
Thank you 🙏 xx
Master craftsman strikes again, so much to do and yet another project in the pipeline, God bless you both ❤
Thank you so much for your comment and watching 😍🙏xx
Hi Tracy & Budo. That sounds like a terrific plan to get your workshop done. The building itself is beautiful! We know you are a perfectionist Budo, but if you can get it functional don’t worry about beautifying it for now. TBH your plans always overwhelm me but you two are so positive & hardest workers on any channel! We definitely all need to help you get more subscribers by mentioning your channel Everywhere we all post comments! WE CAN HELP THEM! Take care. ❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Kathy your comments are always very positive and very encouraging thank you once again for watching. Thank you for watching and have a great week 💖💖xx
I think its exciting and an excellent idea to invest in your future income. Its a beautiful barn and should be used. Looking forward to watching you worker bees take it on!
Hey thank you so much and thank you for watching 😍🙏xx
You will be so much more efficient and less frustrated when you can set up your workshop in the barn. Having to work in a cramped space where you can't leave everything set up for use wears you down. Absolutely the right plan, and I'm jealous of the great workspace you are going to have! Looking forward to seeing you put it to work.
We totally agree with you it will make a great workshop and it will also clear the house as well which is good as well. Thank you for watching 🙏😍
Great idea with the workshop. Is that the same barn where you had the inscriptions on the beams, or was that another building? Did you ever find out what the inscriptions were?
Thank you we think so as well Richard and yes it’s the same barn and the TV filmed in the barn on Friday and filmed the inscriptions and they will get an historian to translate the writing for us 😍thank you for watching xx
You’re son won’t be happy the diggers down has he got a good shovel to carry the trench on 😂😂😂😂👍🏼
jimmy jones the digger is fixed and the trench is finished tune in next week lol
Didn't think you'd drag your feet on the progress...once there's a plan, it's all go from there. No lollygaging for your two !
Was thinking about your friend that helped with the tractor...the one who sounds like a pirate, he's a good resource.
It's a beautiful barn. Your plans will no doubt extend the life of it. Bless your hearts 💕
We think so and it needs to be saved and used it is beautiful 🤩 xx
Great idea to utilize this empty space as your workshop. I think it’s perfect and honestly well big enough. Hope your son had a wonderful time visiting you and I’m sure his mum will spoil him too. ❤😊
You have got this!! Have at it and have fun!
Thank you so much Kathy 😍🙏xx
Just a bit of a bump in the road, but sometimes it happens. Your plans for the wood shop sound terrific so "Crack On" and best wishes for some great good luck👍🍀🍀🍀
This is our plan Sue and yes it needs to be used at it is a great building 😍thank you for watching xx
You are doing such a great job , problems always come together. ❤❤
Thank you so much! ☺️
Bless you both.....your having our luck. Our mahindra tractor broke and had to have it put in the shop. Air conditioner in our house broke and had to buy a new one, air conditioner in my husbands truck broke. And several other expensive things beside all that. All I can do is shake my head and laugh at my bad luck. Best wishes and prayers sent your way.
We say it’s Sod’s Law that once one thing goes wrong lots of things go wrong 🤦♀️this is life but we all soldier on and laugh. Thank you for watching and sharing this with us Betty xx
The Fox Barn Workshop!!
We love it what a great name thank you for watching 😍🙏xxx
BEST WISHES TO YOU
Thank you for watching 😍Xx
I'm absolutely in awe of you both! I'm so sorry about the digger. Murphy's law is what we call it. Love your plans for the barn. It all makes perfect sense. I'll be watching as always and hoping you manage your expected timeline. It will, I'm sure, make a huge difference to your lives and reduce the frustrations. Very exciting.
Thank you so much Carol for your wonderful comment and yes it will be so nice for Budo to have a workshop and to have the house clear. Thank you for watching 💖💖
Love the Barn, It will look amazing when finished, how lovely to have such a building to work in
We totally agree Kim thank you for watching 😍🙏xx
excited about your new endeavor. looking forward to the journey. never boring. always something new to learn. great inspiration/vision. cheers
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment 🙏😍xx
Very nice video. Looking forward to your next wood-working adventure. Thanks for taking us along You are both artisans!
Our pleasure! Thank you for being part of it and for watching ❤️🙏xx
Oh no hope you are both ok
Hiya Paul from the range here it’s looking good.
Hi Paul great you found it how did your shoot go buddy 😀
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries ok 222 out of 250 so not too bad but could be better 😀
Brilliant plan
Thank you 🙏 thank you for watching xx
Oh what a bother when things break and they were going so well. Love the stone building hate the tin roof, but it will do for now. Bad luck sometimes comes calling and she usually comes in threes' so be careful won't you. My brand new hot water system has gone out tonight and it's only 2 months old, hopefully the sparkie will come tomorrow and fix it, but like you it's a nuisance and has upset the plans for tomorrow. Chin up and keep smiling and we all look forward to next week, cheers from Plessala.😊
Yes it is Kim but it will be fixed 😍for now it will do but in the future we will look at it. That is a bigger hope you get it sorted have a great week 🙏😍xx
Your workshop plan sounds like a good common sense approach to getting your workshop expanded and out of your house. Which gives you both a clear passage to getting your house finished and a much larger and more efficient workshop…. Good solid planning for your future. Hopefully any equipment breakdown will be temporary and not delay things over long. Cheering you on from PA, USA.
Sounds very sensible to sort your workshop properly and you can finish your living areas.
Yes we totally agree Lisa thank you for watching 😍🙏
Not good with the digger but pleased it wasn't the operator with a burst pipe.
Oh that did makes us laugh Ruth 😅😂thank you for watching xx
Love that you’re using the barn, genius idea! Especially so you can start earning xx
Thank you Kim it will make a great workshop and it needs to be saved 🙏😍xx
Great idea it will give you much needed space
Yes it will thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
Great that you have a plan.. you need a revenue source to keep everything going ahead and you seem to have looked at it all carefully so I wish you all the best in making it happen, really annoying about the digger hope you can get it repaired quickly..
All the best to both off you
Robb Torremolinos Spain
Very true! Thank you once again for watching Torre have a great weekend xx
That sounds like a great plan! Every craftsman needs a good workshop.
They sure do 😍thank you for watching xx
Oh wow I had no idea you needed to earn again. I figured you’d saved your millions. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic.
Yes mate we only had around 4.5 to 5 years money infront of us so hopefully we can start earning next year buddy 😉 👍🏻
Love, love, love all of your ideas, except one...please, reconsider, blocking up the door and windows. Air and light are so important. Was hoping you'd add a wide double door and you did ! Your channel is so good. We are all in your corner, just be choosy on clients, not everyone is who they appear. Don't have to tell you tho. All my best, sincerely in San Diego California
Thanks for the tips! Phyllis and your comment as always you are on our side 🙏😍xx
I think it's a great idea as temporary workshop. But I would prepare electricity, water etc for a holiday let, air bnb, or space to hold your carpenter "school" once your worshop close to the road is built. Make it a multi purpose building. Upstairs bedrooms, etc. For volunteers, students, guests.
Hi Wanda a cracking idea 💡 we are all on the same level thank you xx
Boo do you do such wonderful work your skills are amazing when you move the workshop to the Barn then you can rehab that section of the house. Great hope to see you guys soon.
Thank you Roger you are very welcome buddy 😀 👍🏻
Loving the Kitchen island Budo Tracy will be so happy. Love the plans for your workshop too, sorry the digger needs a repair I hope it’s not too much trouble and expense for you. Thank you for the video I enjoyed though
Thank you Charmee glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
A wise decision! You may find the separation of 'work' from your home is better, and forget about the attached workshop. Or turn the proposed workshop space idea into an apartment for rent to vacationers and people enrolled in your future classes. I really enjoy your videos and look forward to them. Please remember to take time for yourselves ❤️
Was thinking the same thoughts.❤
Thank you Linda great suggestion something to think about in the future and thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
Amazing plans for the barn. Makes a lot of sense to proceed with it now. Hopefully the digger issue will be resolved quickly.
Workshop plans look/sound great!
Thank you for watching and have a good week 🙏😍xx
That barn is just totally amazing.
It's a good size mate 👍🏻 and will work wonders
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries not jealous honestly 😂
thats a very exciting project. cant wait to see the land cleared.
Thank you for watching 😍
Exciting having a proper workshop. You won't know yourself, 😊Budo.
Thank you for watching and yes Budo will love it 🌞😻
I love your historic barn and the project to rehab it. A couple comments: by removing soil around the foundation, how will you manage drainage? Secondly, I wish you would reconsider bricking in origional openings! The stone arch is gorgeous!
Hi Deborah thank you on the drainage I'll explain that in the next video as a few people have asked and on the windows and door openings I'll be closing them in very simplefeticlly so in the future people could always undo it as it won't work with what I am doing but you will see this in up and coming videos all the best Budo xx
What a great plan you have, absolutely beautiful building. Fantastic to have your workspace for you and subsequently to have an income, so excited for you both and also to free up space in the house!! . Amazing project. Sure your old mate will help you with repairs to the digger. Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ xx
Thank you so much! 🙏😍xx
Well thought out plan. But how you and Tracy are going to get this sorted in 2-3 days a week over 8 weeks is mind boggling. Here’s from Shirley In Australia 😵💫
Thank you so glad you think so Shirley. With a lot of hard work, it might be we will have to put in extra days to get it finished but it will be a gamechanger in every way for us here at the farmhouse .Thank you for watching 💖💖
Love what you two do. I can't wait to see the kitchen finished, and now the workshop! Make sure you show your new subscribers the other things you have done in the past ...Maybe you can do a 4 year (what we've done up-to-date) around the New Year. I miss seeing the bathroom and bedroom you've already completed! Keep on moving forward!
Thank you so much Courtney for your lovely comment and yes this is something that we will think about further down the line great suggestion🙏😍Xxx
An ambitious project but necessary to move forward with your plans. Good luck!
Thank you evegalatis and yes it sure is x
Sounds great fixing up the barn but will you be able to reverse up to the barn with a vehicle to load heavy stuff? Also, you've probably thought of it already, a carport to place your vehicles and caravan under to protect from the weather, ie: hail. Its also another water catchment for you. Make sur you put a fuel stove in the barn so you can keep warm. With the power, have you thought about an Ecoflow generator? It may help. Hubby and I built on property so I know about problems. Wishing you all the best. Hugs :)
Thank you for your suggestions and thank you for watching have a great week 💖💖
Making the barn into your workshop is a brilliant solution to a very pressing need. You can be far more efficient with more space with all your tools out and ready for use, rather than switching out and packing away. You will be totally organized. I know you will aim for perfection but you need it to be functional, warm and dry and you need it far sooner than building from scratch will allow you. Plans are changed as needs dictate. It will move faster if you have your son and anyone else over to assist you.
It is a setback having the digger break at this crucial time, I pray that you can find the problem and have it fixed fairly quickly. You are both so upbeat and do not show us any negative vibes, but I am sure when the camera's are off you vent freely, shake it off, roll up your sleeves to get stuck in once again. Praying for a quick fix to the digger. from Saskatchewan, Canada PS. I added your channel to my fb page, hopefully you get more subscribers from it.
Ronnie thank you kindly for adding us to your face book page every little helps as they say 🙏 and yes you are right on what you say about the work shop and good news I personally fixed the digger with two new pipes and a separate fitting as well as new hydraulic oil so trench is finished and we are moving forward again 😀 happy days
6x10 Budo is two small I think you will struggle I can see your logic but a lot of work and have you looked into setting up a legitimate joinery company in France talking all from experience 👍
Hi Paul believe me I won't struggle this size is fine for a workshop as I don't want to have a fully fledged joinery business here specifically at my age i just want to be in the system ticking over mainly running workshop weeks making a bit of money as an auto entrepreneur paying my taxes but working lightly into my retirement 😀
love the cupboards Budo , it will look lovely 🥰 bon courage with the barn☺ i do not know anything about hydraulics , hope you got it sorted. all the best Y
Thank you guys ❤️🙏xx
It makes sense to utilise what’s there. It’ll save you time which is very precious and money, even though you put out € initially. You can always in the future revisit your original plans. Good luck. Busy times ahead. Bravo you two. ❤❤
Glad you think so Ina and thank you for watching 🥰xx
Who knows you decide later on to keep your workshop there permanently! 😉🤷♀️ bit of pointing there Tracy lol.
As you know lna things are very fluid here at FFD thank you for watching and have a great week 🙏😍xx
It's a beautiful barn and a beautiful plan. You will be able to enjoy the house so much more without all the equipment in it in the way. So sorry about the digger. Hopefully it will be a quick fix!
We think so as well and clearing the house will allow us to move on with other projects. Thank you for watching 💖💖
4:35 the design on the sides of the posts on the island must be a very traditional design for cabinet legs because I just saw the same thing on the legs of a 200+ yo billiards table in the most recent video from the folks at Chateau de Purnon. Really amazing a detail like this survives to the modern day!
P.S. Is this the barn that had the medieval carving on one of the beams? When you said you were going to level the floor inside, I wondered if the beam that has the carving on it is the you’ll have to take down? Otherwise, magnificent plan. Good luck finding the broken pipe or whatever it is on your digger. 🙏
Thank you Sylvanaire l follow Cháteau du purnon and l noticed this as well and pointed it out to Budo. Yes it is and we will use it somewhere else and thank you for watching 🙏🏻😻
Bummer. Glad that the disaster did not involve bodily injury to Tracy, Bodo, or Cheshire.
Thank you for your concern and thank you for watching💖💖xx
How exciting!!! Can't wait to see the barn cleared of stuff and the trees taken down to expose the beautiful building.
Thank you for watching and yes we are looking forward to see the barn exposed on the outside and it’s already looking different inside 🌸xx
The Barn workshop will be a game changer for you Budo and with both having a clear house the mindset will also change. Maybe some local labour help to progress the project. Bugger with the broken pipe. Look forward to seeing the changes. Have a great week.
It just makes sense and the barn needs to be used and what better use than a workshop. great idea thank you for watching and have a great week 😻🙏🏻
The barn looks so rustic. It’s perfect for a workshop. Craftsman cottage❤
The barn is a beautiful building and will be perfect as a workshop thank you for watching 🌸🌞xx
Please don’t change the out side structure! The barn is so beautiful and so old leave it the why it is just new doors and makes windows for all the little ports. Save the architecture. I don’t think I’d get rid of the deeper part of the barn either it might be very handy. Love all your projects just wish you weren’t so far away.
Thank you so much for your comment and thank you for watching 💖💖
I think the barn will make a splendid workshop..... don't forget a little log burner to keep you warm in the winter
Thank you yes it's in the plans glad you enjoyed the video x
Budo is such a fantastic carpenter, you will never have to worry, you’re both so good at what you do. Looking forward to see how everything moves on. ❤❤
Thank you so much ☺️ we hope you are both well 🌸xx
Great idea to rethink making barn into a shop…but I would make it permanent. Other income could come from your gite, don’t forget.
Great idea! Penny thank you definitely something to think about for the future thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
💜💙💚
Thank you for watching ❤️🙏xx
Great idea, personally I’d make it permanent. Then when you build the other one on the side of the house give it to Tracey as her workshop for the lavender and craft.
Good idea rainaeales so thing to add to the pot thank you 😊 x
you are so luky to have all this good equipment. so you are able to start digging and all this yourself. i like this very much
Yes, thanks it is very handy to have all of these different equipment,. Thank you for watching 🤗
Your plans for the workshop look great. Sorry about the engine problems 😊
Thank you John 👍thank you for watching 🥰xx
At the being I always thought this would make a good workshop, you can restate the track to the back lane and get access down to your other wooded area across the road opposite your cottage project, this would make great addition to your Farm, when you build your new workshop the barn would be a great storage area for your produce.
John you are so right buddy thanks for watching us mate and glad you are enjoying our journey 👍🏻
Very nice planning on kitchen island . Question
Where the blank door panels are is it possible to have a very slim spice area? Or place for foil or parchment paper? Items?
Hi Vickie thank you I'll be building the spice racks in the doors of the larder cupboard so keep watching over the next couple of months to see the progress all the best Budo xx 😀
I would not be surprised if you were to find out that the barn was at one time a house since many old houses were converted into barns after a new house had been built. You should incorporate the writing on the beams into the new shop somehow to preserve that part of its history. I am sure it will look good once you have fixed it up a little. You should put in a log burner (with the corresponding chair) so you can have a warm spot to sit and contemplate your ideas.
Thank you Truman myself and Budo had this conversation regarding the barn could of been a house back in the past a great observation from you as usual thank you and a great idea 💖💖
Wow. This new plan will be so interesting ... and should really up your sub base.
Thank you 🙏😍xx
I said it from the start. Perfect workshop area and much less conversion time
Thank you for watching
You can use the workshop next to the house for your lavender distillery!
Some thing to think about thanks
Sounds like a good plan, but if I were you I would have it as my Permanent Workshop especially when you are working doing things for others, your work place then is completely separate from your Residence, so at the end of the working day you can retire to a lovely quiet home. If it was next to the house it would be always noisy and you would be tempted to not finish your work day. It's a beautiful building. Can't wait to see you restore it to its former state.
Good point! thank you for watching 💖💖
Great idea to utilise the barn that is already there, workshop will be up and running in no time I’m sure xx
Thank you Christy and Paul looking forward to seeing you this week 💖💖xx
It’s going to be a gorgeous workshop. Can’t wait to see it all cleared out as well as the exterior trees taken down. I think it’s a great idea.
You and us both! It’s quite exciting and will make a beautiful workshop 🙏😍xx
The workshop sounds fab, shame about the digger.
Thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
Oh Budo, I hope you managed to get your digger fixed 🤞🤞🤞🤞
All will be revealed in the next video Denise thank you for watching and for your concern 🌸🌞xx
I think you’re doing proper planning. Smart ❤
Thank you Joan 😊 x
Looking forward to the workshop build regards
Thank you for Watching 🤗
Great Idea! Yes them trees need to go. Planning ahead for your future is a good thing.
Yes indeed! You always need to plan ahead thank you for watching 🙏😍xx
That will be beautiful when your done! Good idea! Well done
Thank you Linda 😊 xx
The island looks stunning. Love the content! Keep it up.
Thank you! Will do! Thank you for watching ❤️🙏xx
What ever you want to do,l will be watching 😁.
Thank you 🙏😍xx
Have you watched Stories from Cascina? They always finish an episode with a finish project even if it is just cutting grass or cleaning an out building. They do not talk much throughout their individual projects for him wood working repairs. Her cooking, painting, window repairs. They don’t talk over each other, never discuss money, are very low keyed and have over 66000 subscribers. Maybe you need another approach. Something to think about.
Hello Cynthia no sorry we have not thank you for your suggestions and if in the future we have people complaining about our videos then maybe we will take a different approach but our viewers are not they are very positive and encouraging of what we are doing thank you for watching
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries don’t be fooled by people always praising you. Are they self-serving, probably. You want to grow your channel and support yourselves. You said so in the last video and many others. Reward your talents, not hinder yourself.
I love that you two are so forward thinking! Always looking to the future, especially with financial, time planning, wants vs needs, etc… I love listening to your explanations of your plans (how’s and why’s). Thank you for keeping the channel going☺️👏
Love it💖 thank you for watching and being part of our journey here on you tube 🥰
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries prayers that the digger hets fixed without tooo much hassle🙏😊
That barn is going to be a fantastic place.
Yes I think so to luminyam thank you glad you enjoyed the video x 😊 😀
The new plan sounds like a good one, why build another building when you have one used. Also, it'll mean that beautiful barn gets the attention to needs, as well as you getting a working space. Think of it, you'll be able to go home from work, instead of work being at home. Never underestimate being able to shut the door and call it a day.
Hi Simon thanks yes I know what you mean buddy nice to shut up shop in the evening and go home I had this when we was back in England 🇬🇧 all be it on a smaller scale glad you enjoyed the video buddy 😀
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries Looking forward too seeing the revitalisation of that beautiful building. And you working in it, obviously.
Will be one hell of a workshop for sure. Shame about the breakdown, thats the way of it unfortunately. I can imagine that wee digger owes you guys nothing with the amount of work it has done over the years.
Hi Brian thanks yes the digger has been a treasure doesn't owe us a penny also you will see in the next video I've fixed it and it's running better then ever mate 👍🏻 😉
@@FrenchFarmhouseDiaries you are the real deal mate. I am a woodshop and construction teacher at 2nd level school. Teach woodwork, construction studies, cad, and technical drawing to 12 to 18 year olds.
I'd love to do what you are doing when I retire.........My missus wouldn't climb a ladder though😀
Sounds like a good plan ❤
Thank you 😊
How exciting!!!!!
Thank you for watching 🌞🌸cx
Thanks!
Hey thank you 🙏 how kind of you Elizabeth ❤️xxx
