    I’m enjoying your videos thanks so much for the updates. Gosh it’s a huge building and the roof is going to be so nice. Lovely views

    The lead in vid is awesome. When seeing 5 stages of scaffolding, the mill race, I was struck by the thought......what history. All the years of making grain into flour, the families that have owned and operated the mill. And the customers, wow. May it live on as a new masterpiece beyond your lifetime. Thank you for sharing the transition with us, the viewers.

    This is a fantastic video! I can't wait to see the new dormers and roof completed. Btw, I love the "ugly" side of the building - it has a story and your new chapter will be transformative. Your plan is brilliant and it's going to be wonderful when you're all done with it

    Crazy crazy idea 😮 Is it possible to restore the mill as a tourist attraction? That would be interesting 😮😮😮

  • @lizryan513
    @lizryan513 9 месяцев назад +1

    Wow! - I've just noticed the silo in that cluster of buildings across the road/bridge - are they all yours? If not, I hope they are occupied.
    It's always wonderful to make new lives for outbuildings and old industrial premises - but that would be amazing to repurpose a silo!!!

    It would be no good me taking it on. I'm no stranger to building work or hard work but I would be fishing all day.

      Yes there must be some good spots around there for fishing - and swimming too, I hope.
      I think I heard Paul say it's a 'salmon run'??

      @MoulinCouesnon  9 месяцев назад +4

      It’s only flooded once that we know of, and that was in the sous sol so not what will be the main house so fingers crossed x

    Good luck with the new project. Can I ask out of interest why you left your last chateau?

    • @MoulinCouesnon
      @MoulinCouesnon  9 месяцев назад +4

      To focus on renovation rather than running a business (which detracted from our love of diy)

  • @sandrajones633
    @sandrajones633 9 месяцев назад

    Looks amazing. If the river rises would you get flooded?

    • @MoulinCouesnon
      @MoulinCouesnon  9 месяцев назад

      Possibly, we were advised previously that the sous sol fodded but the water was very high in january and the farmers fields flooded and the sous sol did not. We will design the sous sol accordingly, with finishes that can withstand a bit of water and raise the services just in case.
