    Congratulations on the wall. As a sports injury specialist in Toronto I have to encourage Tony to go get his shoulder treated as soon as possible!!!! At least get a massage. If it becomes a frozen shoulder it is very hard to treat it and it takes six months to a year for a frozen shoulder to thaw/recover. Really liked how you presented the gifts. Nice to see the gifts briefly and acknowledgement of the wonderful people who sent them!!!! Cheers from Toronto. PS I do give out free advice anytime

      Just recovering from 10 months of a frozen shoulder. Get it sorted Tony, you don't want to be out of commission for a year. It's not a sore arm, it's basically an arm and shoulder that becomes unusable entirely. I couldn't even lift a glass of water for a few months. It's meant losing a year of my life, not being able to sleep properly etc. I was able to lift my arm long enough with only tiny pain to put my hair up a few days ago and I can't even tell you how much I have missed the use of it. Still probably a few months before it's "normal" again.

      I would strongly urge you to have your shoulder examined by a doctor before your shoulder gets worse. Speaking from experience, after years of shoulder pain and a diminishing range of motion, I finally consulted an orthopedic doctor. Scans revealed that I needed surgery, followed by a lot of physiotherapy. Had it done just in time before the problem got worse and I lost the use of my arm. Sometimes, creams, gels, etc., aren’t the solution. We care about your wellbeing, Tony. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦

    No matter what obstacles you face you always find a way to overcome them, even finding a way to move a thousand blocks from the main road to the secret garden. The wall looks fabulous and it’s amazing how quickly it got put up. A great week for all of you wonderful people 💗💗💗

    This is the sweetest family from England,coming to France ,to restore a Chateau.They are doing all on their own.At this time they are fixing a outside wall that fell down.It was very devastating.I would recommend to start from the beginning so you can really see how hard this family has worked and how lovable they are. I think they would love some help.
    Even if you only have time to watch from getting ready for the Holidays and forward till now.... I recommend it.I watch them everyday.

  • @kshudson4285
    @kshudson4285 2 года назад +3

    Great video as always. It seems like now (I've been watching since 1st saw you on another channel before your channel was up) things are starting to come together. Loved seeing some of the old stones going up on the corner of the wall. Glorious. Then to see flowers blooming at the chateau. Amazing shot of the daffodils waving in the breeze. Caravan's are not an (ugh we'll put you up there), they are an opportunity for later to amaze. As a life long camper dragged around the U.S. by parents at 1st, and now an avid glamping aficionado pointing out the bright side of the caravan's could not be avoided. Each caravan it a chance to remodel and decorate by theme and design. Themed caravans is a selling point not a hinderance. A long way off? Likely, but just the same vlog material. Glamping is part of the package you are working to create. With 3 to work your magic on... Opportunity. Just my tarnished 2 cents, but I love watching you all create. So happy to see the smiles.

    Those pallets used for cinder blocks or bricks tend to be hardwood like oak or maple where I live. They are super useful for rough carpentery, shelving and even for baseboards once sanded and cut to purpose, due to their strength. Think about it, those blocks are heavy and so the wood for their pallets is selected for strength and durability, more so than pallets used for most grocery items.

    Congratulations on getting the wall up! I know your over the moon Terry. As I sit in bed as I’m going through a lot of oral surgery and am medicated, sorry if I’m rambling. Bed rest is dreadful! I look at all you’ve accomplished and am truly blown away! I’m so glad I found your channel. For the last year, I’ve fallen in love with building videos. Especially chateau renovations, my husband teases me, “ oh God she’s watching porn again “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m absolutely amazed at what people can do, that they’ve never done before! Blows my mind. My husband is a landscape designer and does installation. If you do or don’t know, my husband wanted to offer some advice that may help you. Trees should be planted 10-15ft apart ( unless that tree type has a guide on the card that’s different) if there a big tree, ornamental trees that stay smaller in height and width 6ft apart. If your doing garden beds, you can tier them with a build up of soil and retain each level with stone walls 2-3 rows high. Put a gradual slant down each tier, for proper drainage. There’s the gardeners rule of 3,5,7,9 etc.. when planting flowers. When doing any type of bed, stagger the flowers instead of straight rows. The first row is typically creepers, or plants that spill down. Tier 2 flowers, and bulbs so you’ll always have something in bloom. Tier 3 your larger plants or grasses,small decorative trees etc.. mixed in with more bulbs that bloom later than the others. You can add up lights, easy to move boulders, or other ornamentals you love. Mulch everything to keep moisture in and help with weeds. When starting any planting projects water every morning early for about 10-15 minutes. Don’t water anything but the ground. If you water in the evening, that water sits and can rot your gorgeous new garden. He’s dictating, sorry it’s so lengthy. Always throw in Osmocote (Amazon) or French version. Then once a year in spring, sprinkle around flowers. We hope that was helpful. PS- He also says if you need to trim bushes do in early spring right before their growing season. And again in October right before they go dormant, if needed. Never during growing season. God bless and stay safe. If you ever have questions feel free to ask. 🇫🇷♥️🌲💐

    Using that paint tub as a reservoir for a solar fountain is genius. Very clever idea. My goodness, have you been lucky with the weather for the wall reconstruction bearing in mind it's March! Dry weather to lay foundations and let the concrete go off, dry terrain for the JCB to pick up the pallets from the field - I was imagining the churned-up mud slide that you would almost certainly have had to create with the digger getting in, picking up the pallets and the turning / reversing out of the field. And then glorious weather for laying the blockwork! They say the sun shines on the righteous 😉 - after the wall collapse you deserved a lucky break 🥰

The photos, angles, music, transitions and composition are very professional and make for an interesting and not boring video. I can appreciate the work you do on the chateau, but also the work and time you take to create each and every video to share your experience. Always look forward to a new one.
