    Love that you never waste any materials. You are always finding ways to repurpose items that others have discarded. It takes vision and planning to do that. It is also why you end up with so many treasure troves around your farm and barns. Don’t apologize for that. You are a true environmentalist

    Sean, watching you show us your office space gets my organizational skills all excited. Work that space! And, I dont' know if it's intentional that not all the wall surfaces are brand new but I love that look. Mixing the original walls with new adds so much interest not to mention texture! So enjoy watching what you and your wife have done to this building to make it your home.

    Sean, I would love to see you give yourself a wonderful room, space just for your coppery! a part of the barn perhaps, covered with hanging copper pots, a repair/shining up table, and most importantly- a fireplace with a couple of cozy armchairs in front of it where you can tell stories of copperware, demonstrate how to care for it and perhaps highlight a particular piece that you love and is on a bit of a sale. For you to just go in there and gaze about with a cuppa - you deserve it!

      You just made me think about what we called my British grandfather. My mom said our oldest brother could not pronounce “grandpa” so called him Cuppa. I think maybe it was because of our grandfather talking about his tea. So my two brothers and I called my grandfather Cuppa, without ever knowing the difference. We sadly moved away when I was 6 and he passed when I was 11. I’m American and my other grandparents were Québécois.

      @@marielucier7982 you just made me think, I was brought up by my grandparents. I called them grandad & granny. My granny always said do not call me nana or nanny as that is a paid servant. She was born at the end of the 1800.’s & had sisters who were servants. She always called grandad ‘pop’. I never thought to ask her why.

      @@susanross1651 my mom moved us out of state far far away when I was six, which was traumatizing for me for years. I had nightmares and woke up crying. We left all my grandparents and my dad and so many others and a different type of geography. We referred to my father’s parents as Memé and Pepé. I’m pretty sure that’s French Canadian. Memé spoke only French. Pepé and all their kids were bilingual. My English grandfather had a thick accent. My grandmother was American of French and English mix, which is common in New England. Thanks for replying and sharing. P.S. my grandparents were also born in the 1880’s.

      Progress of works:-
      Cup of Char (..and a full English if it's a really, really good day).
      Planning meeting with Mr. Paper, Mr. Pencil and Mr. Tape-Measure, and a "purposeful" cup of char.
      Get all the tools out from the shed and an "urgent" cup of char.
      Scratch head, utter the work prayer "Gor Blimey" and proceed to do some work after a couple of hours have another "useful" cup of char and 15 minutes rest.
      Shake head and utter the mid day prayer "Let's crack on" and proceed to do two more hours, followed by a "resigned" cup of Char and a further 15 minutes rest.
      Blank stare and the afternoon prayer "Blimey Charlie" and do another two to three hours, clean up and put tools back in the shed and then another "job well done" cup of char!?!

    2/5/2023. Diane. 👒👒 🇺🇸. Wow!! You need an extra set of hands. 👍👍. Billy has massive projects too. Manpower is showing us viewers progress is moving toward completion.
    You also have projects. BUT. you are one person who can Achieve The projects you have in your head. I wouldn’t want you to get sick due to the work load with Billy’s job and you need extra hands to complete your jobs which is your home at the moment.❤️❤️❤️
    Sam, your wife is helping you at home. Both of you need to keep the stress level to a minimum because the long term outcome will be achieving both of your goals.🦋🦋
    I watch Billy’s and your videos. The concrete walls in the kitchen and the floor was HARD WORK🦋🦋. He had a TEAM to get it done🦋🦋 so do you😊😊.
    Your manner is soothing to me and I do smile at you a lot. You take us on trips and show the
    countryside. I too love old stuff and history. The part of the United States I come from was settled in the 1700 with whaling ships. The harbor is still commercial fishing.
    Remember the bottle you found encased in stone? Where I come from the old timers use to hide their possessions in the walls of the house. My dad was a master electrician and he would take me with him on jobs. I was about 12 years old. The house we went to was built in the 1800’s and was a home that had servants with many rooms two story home.
    Over time it was converted into apartments.🦋🦋. Dad had electrical work to do in the bathroom.
    Dad set-up his tools and winked at me “let’s see if we find anything” as the work progress dad pulled out a metal box buried in the wall above the plumbing pipes. The box had a small handle on the cover and when you jiggled it there was something inside.🦋🦋
    There was a whale bone camio broach, man’s ring, foreign coins, pendant attached to a ribbon. Both dad and I we’re amazed. The dates on the coins were varied but the one was larger in size than the others 1862.🦋🦋
    Dad contacted the landlord gave him the box. When the bill was paid a note on the receipt listed the find location and contents. There are some life experiences you remember and this one was no different. 🦋🦋

With Sam and your good taste I’m not using unique as an aphorism for mishmash. I mean something no one else can have but would definitely want! Like the prettiest, most elegant boot room I ever saw! P.S alway give a lady plenty of room for her clothes especially when they are as pretty as the wearer. They are an important collection for us.😉😊

    Do you have colourbond roofs in France. We have them a lot in Australia, no worries about slipping tiles or people breaking into places through the roofs.

    With your leaky roofs don't you worry about batt insulation soaking up like a piece of cotton, creating even more problems, dry rot excetera... rigid insulation is pretty expensive, but it doesn't absorb water..LAXVESPA-LOSANGELES
