    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.

    Being a superviser is a job too. As long as Tom is there you should have him plant another rock garden so you don't run out of rocks to rebuild the walls. So you can teach a new dog old tricks.

    Sean, spiral staircase will fit the space and look fabulous - but there is danger involved that needs considered. Especially as you get older. Why does this scare me? Because my sister had a spiral staircase in her tiny home, which worked for decades. But as she got older, with arthritis in her knees and hands, it because less safe. She fell down it, at age 68, broke her back in 3 places, and died a day later. Please seriously consider who will be going up & down!
    Tom is a quick learner and a good skill for him to learn. Glad he was available to help you while your ankle heals.

    Why change stairs?You already have privacy& straight up path, &tiny area under steps.So nice to walk down into kitchen and not to front door.
    Spiral steps limits furniture/clothes/accessories movement...Will be cramped.?. Orig builder already solved that...leave steps to keep front
    door draft going upstairs...the builder was pretty smart, already...Loved watching Sir Tom work as Newby. Great supervising, Hercules..Hope your ankle mends with speed...Loved the bird in the window, too...Happy weekend!

    I like Tom's sense of humour-- a lot like my sons' (two). Your whole family is "brilliant"--an English expression I learned from a colleague here in Canada. She also used it in a sarcastic way occasionally, but that is definitely not my tone here. My joy is watching (and sometimes helping too) my sons and husband tackling a job--big or small--together. It also brings me joy to see others doing the same.

Plus I’ve seen him become more confident which is great. There’s much to be gained through honest effort. Great move!.I enjoy both of your channels.

    Hello. Have you considered making stairs with a landing? Perhaps opening near where you have then a landing halfway down and turn left with stair floor landing facing fireplace coming down. You could keep it open or enclosed for a closet creating an entryway and gives you another wall for kitchen on opposite side. May also stop wind coming right in when door opens.
