@@alternate1868 I do not agree. They are like all the chateau owners they have fallen in love with a magnificent building and are doing their best. And you can cut out the sly nastiness.
I agree that moss boot would be good in an installation. Plus thank you for telling what the pigeon houses were for. 🤗🇨🇦
@@jeanhawken4482you obviously haven’t been watching long
I always do hit the like-button it's the least I can do as a thanks for their hard work with EVERYTHING! ❤
The word the architect is looking for is reverence . It is what I see and to some extent, feel through what Tim and Felicity do.
Thank you for your message and for following our journey!
Seeing all that brush go down was sooo satisfying. Such overwhelming respect for taking on so much land and so many buildings. I’m continually amazed at the size of this estate. Every time I think I have a good sense of its scope, it keeps getting bigger.
All this enrichment keeps me going with my own restoration projects and joie de vivre.
Thanks for your message. There are certainly plenty of projects to keep us occupied. Good luck with your restoration works!
All Hail the remarkable Kevin the Left handed roofer!🎉
Isn't he amazing?!
What an incredible gift to have Kevin help clear that space. Hoping all the roofs can be repaired in due time 🙏😍😘
Thanks for your message. Just to clarify, it is Peter Maddison (former host of Grand Designs Australia) who helped clear this part of the chateau grounds. Kevin is our roofer whose amazing work crowned our central dome. We're thrilled you're following our journey!
If you turn the chateau and it’s grounds into a living museum, you could always encase the dove cote in s glass building. They did the same with Abraham Lincoln’s log cabin in Kentucky.
I look forward to Sunday just to view your video and see what progress you’ve made and the treasures you’ve uncovered.
Thanks for your message. We're thrilled you're enjoying our journey!
This place is Extraordinary,thank you for doing what you are doing and trying to preserve and bring back to life Purnon ❤
It's wonderful to share our adventure with a global audience. Thanks for your message.
I just about fell outa my chair when you showed the earlier view of the roof. Wow! That has come a long way! I'm usually looking at old things and trying to see them as they once were. THIS is different! For the first time, I find myself imagining how to deal with the FUTURE for that roof. It's a different frame of mind completely. Hunh.... 🤔
I'm trying to imagine what if you had 100 gardeners for one week. How about a thousand for a week?
The scale is intimidating.
We're making steady progress but there is so much still to do!
Using the traditional methods on the roof is such a worthy yet huge commitment. As each section is exposed from the scaffolding the, roof looks phenomenal. I can imagine you gazing up at it with pride, every day & look forward to starting the next phases once finished. How exciting having Peter from grand designs Australia visit!! The history discussion about the pigeonnier were so interesting!
We're deeply committed to undertaking a restoration that honours the estate's history and beauty. We are thrilled that people from around the world are sharing our adventure. Thanks for your message!
Roof is so beautiful. Can’t wait to see it all finished
We feel the same way!
Amazing clean up guys. Love your videos and eagerly await each new one. Thank you. 🇦🇺
Wonderful - thanks for sharing in our adventure!
Your attention to detail is wonderful. Heritage building in Australia and across the globe should be all treated with such respect. ❤
Thank you! As Peter says in the video, we hope there is something interesting in our journey for anyone interested in heritage protection.
Drone shots of purnon always take my breath away in every video.
It's a beautiful estate. Our Skydio drone really captures her elegance.
Hi. I´am so sorry not to have the money to donate for the restauration of this older part - which I find absurdly attractive and interesting. Again: I love the sight of your chateau but I adore this older part. Like 887, greetings from Germany, Chris
We're thrilled you're enjoying our adventure!
C'est tellement vrai : sauver les bâtiments non seulement pour leur beauté et leurs qualités mais aussi et surtout pour ce qu'ils disent de l'Histoire. Et l'un magnifie l'autre.
Vous avez raison. Merci d'avoir suivi notre aventure.
I didn’t realize your pigeonnier was that far from the chateau your drone shots showing that was cool. Fascinating you could tell the acreage by the number of pigeon boxes there were, thanks for the lesson.
We're thrilled that you enjoyed the video.
OMG i love him, Peter is awesome. How exciting to have him come and way in on thing, absolutely priceless!❤
Peter is wonderful! We were really touched that he popped in to see us.
Oh how wonderful to see Peter again….and hear another familiar accent….like family. Hello from Brisbane.
It was wonderful to have Peter drop by. He worked very hard and made may useful suggestions and observations. Thanks for your message!
not that its made it any easier ( or your list any shorter!), but leave it to a former politician of Tim's ilk :) , to realise and highlight the importance of saving the visible heritage of the artisan and working classes. These are the jewels that can help us understand the most complete picture possible of the social life and structure of the majority of people's lives that time. Chateaus are gorgeous- and indeed- they capture the imagination of so many- but they tell of the lives of only a wealthy few. It is in saving what you are able of the pigeonnier and the Moulin Bigeard that we can meaningfully tell the stories of the working classes - and such sites are rare finds indeed. NO- your passion to save these sites as you are able- does not make your list any shorter at all! It is so important! I must ( post UK elections!) get back over to France - and see you all! bon courage! Karen R from the UK
Thanks for your message Karen. In a way, the comments were meant to be historical observations rather than political ones. Telling all the stories of the people from Chateau de Purnon is important to us. Not just the accounts of the people with noble titles. Best wishes for your elections.
oh no, genuinely wasn't meant politically either :) ... It's just your shared sensitivities about telling the whole story of your site show through so beautifully. Historic England ran a program here a few years ago to focus on working class heritage that eillicited some really interesting focus on those too frequently ignored aspects of heritage that often don't survive. Its so wonderful that the work you are doing is so attentive to all aspects of the the Chateau, its grounds and its outbuildings too- factors that others too frequently gloss over...I watch eagerly! And thank you ! ;)
Interesting. I had subconsciously just assumed that renovating the chateau would always be your main focus, but your comment to Peter Maddison cast a different light, that your priority is indeed to structurally save the chateau, but that then doing roofs and saving other buildings for the future might come before the renovating and decorating of the chateau. You two have obviously had a long and mature conversation to set priorities. 🇦🇺
Hi Kate, it's always a balance. But when we address structural issues and restore roofs we buy ourselves the time to then reflect on our longer term goal for certain buildings. But we are already working inside the chateau on room restorations. Without this work we would have no quality of life! It's always a question of balancing competing priorities. Thanks for following our journey!
I love the work that you all are doing. It’s so important to have a good clean up no matter where you hang your hat..very inspirational!
Thrilled you enjoyed it!
Loved the line about the moss covered boot belonging in an art installation!
Terrific content! Beautiful buildings no matter the remains. TY so much for sharing/teaching all the history behind this hidden GEM! You both are a true mentor for your amazing work ethic! TY for not being superficial, being a fashion show, entertainer, shopping around at all these peculiar places, and not painting everything with a tiny gold brush! Bravo to you both!
Thank you for your message. We simply want to share a journey about our love of heritage and the joy we take from protecting it with an amazing team off highly skilled artisans.
It's so interesting. The one thing all these magnificent chateaux and their outbuildings across France tell us is the massive wealth of France in the 17th and 18th centuries. They also tell a story about the squandering of that wealth by and large by instilling a socialist governments to varying degrees over centuries. War of course has also contributed to that demise in France's wealth. These magnificent complexes also indicate the artisanal skills of the French were utterly incredible. Their eye for beauty and how it is at the centre of everything they do (architecture, food, fashion, art, language, theatre, literature, film) and the pride they had/have in their output is phenomenal.
So the moral of the story is trade, trade, trade not tax, tax, tax and do not engage in war unless it is absolutely necessary to defend your nation.
Thank you for following pour journey. The joy of history is the differing perspectives and explanations that we all bring to its study.
Lovely to see you’re doing everything so traditional but while they’re doing the roof, I hope you’re putting modern day installation in to keep the very expensive heat these days in the château
Thanks for your message and for following our journey. We assume auto-correct got hold of 'insulation' and made it 'installation'! tPlease take a look at some of our earlier episodes that show the roof restoration process in more detail. You'll see that we are installing both a waterproof membrane and insulation as part of the restoration of the chateau roof.
I appreciate the acknowledgement of the campus past representation of inequality being balanced with need for current restoration.
Another great video, uncovering hidden treasures as well as giving the buildings and land a chance to survive. Thank you.
We're thrilled you're following our journey!
The roof alone is breathtaking. Slate is beautiful
It's a work of art - the oak frame, the flashing, the copper work and of course the slate. Thanks for following!
Il n y avait pas de shetland dans les campagnes françaises, mais des ânes qui étaient pour le travail et surtout pour les voitures hippomobiles. Les animaux chevaux, ânes, ou bovins étaient des compagnons de travail et non pas de loisirs.
Formidables belles vidéos.
Merci ❤❤❤❤
??? il s' agit d' un château, et non pas d une simple ferme !. Que Purnon ait eu des animaux pour le travail, oui bien sur ! Mais les chatelains n' avaient pas les mains dans la boue, et cavaliers, bien sur aussi, avaient des chevaux pour leurs loisirs, et beaucoup sans doute, apprenaient l' équitation à leur jeunes enfants, et donc sur des petits chevaux. Qui peux prétendre que des chatelains n' aient pas acheter ou fais venir , des chevaux de petites tailles, d' Allemagne , ou d' Angleterre, ou d' ailleurs...??? le commerce des chevaux et autres , était très développé en Europe , et ces gens là avaient de l' argent...et comme j' aime beaucoup les ânes, les petits attelages de loisirs existaient aussi, pour commencer....
@@didierjacob250 oui tout à fait, les chevaux de selle, permettaient de chasser, dd faire le tour des terres, 600 ha… de se déplacer. Aux vues des fers, il y avait aussi des chevaux lourds : percherons ou comtois… il y avait de très belles écuries en cours de restauration pour les propriétaires, et à la ferme les équidés étaient au travail !
Le cheval de loisir arrive en France au 19e après la création des haras par Napoléon. À ce titre est créé le Selle Français, les poneys sont plus tard. La hiérarchie dans les châteaux était ordonnée par le maître des lieux, les enfants apprenaient déjà le latin puis à se battre donc l’équitation réservée aux enfants mâles… le loisirs de prier, de faire la guerre, et surtout de vivre avec des personnes de même rang et au moins 16 quartiers de Noblesse.
En ce qui me concerne, j’ai appris l’équitation à 11 ans et sur des grands chevaux, le poney n’existait pas dans les écuries ! 😉
Il y a plusieurs explications possibles à ces petits fers à cheval. Nous les protégerons et les ajouterons à notre collection. Au fur et à mesure de nos découvertes sur le domaine, l'explication de leur présence ici apparaîtra peut-être. Merci de partager vos connaissances sur notre chaîne RUclips.
Se sont des fers fabriqués par le forgeron, la semelle n’est pas très arrondie ! Peut-être trouverez vous l’enclume ! Le petit modèle est pour les ânes. Les poneys shetland sont rarement ferrés.
Les mors sont une belle collection ackamores, mors droits, pelam… tout pour faire mal … a bien conserver !
Wonderful story telling and lovely to see Peter M; ordering our Purnon wall paper samples this week! Thx. M&R
Wonderful! We look forward to seeing pics when your project is complete. Thank you!
That was utterly fascinating! Thank you! 😁🇺🇸
Thrilled you enjoyed the episode. Thanks for your message!
Great Job! So much better! Looking forward to more posts.
Thanks for your message. We hope you enjoy our channel.
I seem to learn something every episode! AND as he was uncovering all that trash we must realize it never really goes away.....
You're quite right but we can recycle some of it (the glass bottles and metal for example) and other elements can go to better waste management locations where further recovery can take place. All better options for the environment than lying in the earth around the estate. We also find the occasional treasure! Thanks for following our journey.
The update is magnificent
Thrilled you enjoyed it!
Great work guys ! Look fwd to weekly videos ! Melbs 🇦🇺
Thanks for your message!
Bonjour, la chaussure couverte de mousse est vraiment incroyable, ne la jetée pas. Vous faites un travail extraordinaire, Bravo !
Merci pour votre message!
A master class in how to make videos, great subject matter, great narration, great visuals, and brevity.
Thank you! We're thrilled you're enjoying our videos and our journey!
Getting rid of those trees and all the ivy will make a huge difference to that building, stopping the damage that they do should give you some more time.
It's a good start with plenty more clearing up to do. Thanks for your message!
Well you both certainly played a blinder having Peter Maddison visit. Please tell Peter I spent many evenings in the dark room with him in 2020 and 2021.I'll explain.... I had a ligament reconstructed in my knee late in 2019 and had to do hours and hours of cycling for my rehab but because it was covid and all the gyms were closed I had to do it in my home. To stave off boredom and keep myself on the bike watched all Peter's episodes which are shown on Canadian Television CBC. Please tell him I now have a greater appreciation of the design process, project managers, power tools, second fixes thanks to him and my knee is doing great. I am hoping my next boyfriend who is a sophisticated project manager. Well a girl can dream!!! Cheers from Toronto
Peter will be pleased to know that the series found its way to Toronto! We'll pass on your message. Thank you for following our adventure from Canada.
Quel travail réalisé autour de ce bel ensemble ! Je vous souhaite de pouvoir sauver ce que peut l'être, votre volonté et votre conviction sont admirables et forcent le respect.
L'ensemble de votre démarche, pour sauver et réhabiliter Purnon, y compris dans sa dimension environnementale, est remarquable et mérite attention et reconnaissance.... Je vous souhaite pleine réussite et j'espère que malgré vos priorités, qui concernent très logiquement le château, vous pourrez mener à bien la sauvegarde du Moulin Bigeard, qui représente lui aussi, la vie de ces grands domaines ruraux des XVII et XVIII èmes siècles. Courage et félicitations à tous les deux.
There is something poignant about the old boots.
Yes, they speak to the toil of earlier generations.
You could always cast the trash in a large block of resin and sell it as an art piece to raise money for the chateau. It does look like an art installation.
Some nice finds. The boot with all the moss would be cool to keep and put in a garden somewhere lol Love watching you guys and learning more history and watching the excellent craftmanship of these specalists as they restore Purnon! ❤
We're thrilled you're enjoying our journey!
Just watch your pup around the tips - we learned the hard way - our dog ran through one and cut her leg on a bottle on the Thanksgiving Weekend and had to travel miles (in Northern Canada) to find an emergency vet --- I will never forget that experience.
My guess is the "farm house" was originally a grand home--the pediment for the front door, the gates & size suggests a decent sized estate--though a magnitude of order or two less than the estate it was absorbed into! Great work & hope you can get it stabilized!
Thank you for another interesting look into Purnon’s past. I enjoy the history information. The task you have taken on is incredible.
Thanks for your message. We're thrilled that you find the history so informative.
So many shoes and boots. A bit creepy. Have you discovered a cemetery yet?
No cemetery here. But there is one in our village and many of the chateau's former owners ad inhabitants are interred there.
Plus vous dégagez les autres bâtiments de la propriété, plus cela me fait penser au château de Versailles avec les bâtiments qui sont dans le parc : grand et petit Trianon, le hameau de la Reine et les bergeries, l'orangerie... c'est superbe et précieux. C'est un trésor d'histoire et de savoir faire.
Oui, il n'y a pas que les grands bâtiments (le château et les deux communs). Tous les bâtiments constituent un village autosuffisant - fermes, boulangeries, blanchisseries, le chai, etc.
A place full of stories and past lives! Watching these "uncoverings" is mesmerising and inspirational.
On a side note, don´t you think it´s more likely donkey or mule shoes and bits? Surely they were part of the workforce too?
Thanks for your message and for following our journey. It's possible that they are donkey shoes, but donkeys were often not shoed. They are extremely small even for donkeys and mules.
Such a beautiful place.. It's sad to think how many places that were comparable to this have been destroyed or nature has reclaimed it.. Thx for sharing your journey with us... God Bless and take care....
Thank you for your message.
Very Interesting on the Dove Cot and how many people had in those days to show wealth . And the shoes u found of the Ponies and horses all hand made lovely . Thank u .
Thrilled you enjoyed the episode.
AMAZING
Thrilled you enjoyed it!
I e just started watching for the past 6 months and i am hoiked. I alway like your videos. Its a truly amazing journey your traveling on and hoping this will stay with your family going forward.
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled you've found us and are deriving such joy from our adventure!
Oh wow, what a lovely transformation happening and that blessed roof coming along marvelously. Will you be holding the traditional topping of ceremony? The weather looks great too. Have a lovely week, I will finally be home in France for the next vlog, cheers from Melbourne 😊
Despite the video footage the weather here has been terrible! But yes, we'll mark the highest point with a ceremony. They still have to put the flashing on the ridge. Thanks for your message!
That roof is absolutely magnificent!
The original profile really brings Bougior’s intention into focus. The whole history of the roof’s ingenious structural design paired with the elegant serpentine slope must’ve been unprecedented for it’s time. And I wonder is there another?
Such talented folks up there. ♥️
...Il y en a ! , Château de Vaux-le -Vicomte XVII ème siècle, 100 ans avant Purnon à voir , dôme en ardoise aussi
The small horse shoe😊s could also be for donkeys as their feet are smaller.
Thank you for your message. Although donkeys were not shoed as frequently as horses that is a possible explanation. We'll add them to our collection and perhaps one day future clues will emerge.
Wow, you two make a great team and are a great example of conscientious and successful business owners. Many rich families, including kings and queens, got rich by stealing, slavery, and illegal activities; some still do that. It's nice to see hard-working, honest people do some good. Thanks from Canada!
Thank you for your kind message. We're not sure we see ourselves as business owners. We feel more like custodians of a piece of cultural history that we must preserve, protect and uncover. We are thrilled to share this journey with interested and curious people from across the globe.
Hit those likes it costs nothing and subscribe 👍
Thank you!
What an inspiring & respectful journey you are on! I shared one of your beautiful videos recently with a beloved neighbour. We both reflected on how you remind us to not complain about our small tasks we undertake on our own Australian properties- thank you!
Your love, care & curiosity is so evident. I look forward to your updates on this amazing journey.
Thank you for your message and for sharing our journey with others!
great video
Thank you - we're thrilled you're following our journey!
Hej from Denmark.
Deep recept for your thoughts and work.💙💛💙💛🐾🤗
Thank you for your message. We're thrilled you are enjoying our journey from Denmark.
Good on you guys ❤
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Are you going to restore the pijionaire to it’s former state?
I always get excited to watch another episode of the restoration. I hope one day I can visit to see it in all its glory! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thank you for your message. We are thrilled that our adventure is bringing you such joy. We are always open for the weekend of Les Journees du Patrimoine here in France. This year that will be 21-22 September. We have guided tours, we open as much of the estate as possible and there are demonstrations from our artisans. With wine tastings and bread making demonstrations we open for free for the whole weekend.
Absolutely love your videos! Very well done 👏
Thank you!
Hate to say it, but the roof is beautiful WOW
It's a work of art. Thanks for your message!
Considering the average house price in Brighton Victoria Australia is close to $4 million, Monsieur Peter Maddison should sell up and join you in Purnon immediately. With an interest in Australian architecture, thanks to having enjoyed his television programme, he would be a valuable addition to the Purnon family.
We were thrilled that Peter came and helped and he made many useful and insightful observations. We suspect he is smart enough to hang on to his Brighton home!
It really is looking amazing skilled craftsmen at their best
It would be impossible to save Chateau de Purnon without the skills of our amazing artisans.
Astounded at the transformative effect of the newly restored roof, the Chateau looks like she has gone from wearing rags to couture clothing! With every step, every copper nail and at the end of each day, take a moment to enjoy the results of your labour which is giving us so many opportunities to reverence your work.
Thanks for your encouragement Kirstie! Your messages are good for our morale. xx
Incredible thanks for allowing us to view their incredible skill in repairing the roof 🥳👍
Thanks for your message - our roofers are incredible!
Amazing work and I’d love to visit…I’d volunteer my gardening skills 😂❤
Another great video!
We're thrilled you enjoyed it!
All those shoes found in the same place wakes the Sherlock in me 🕵🏼♀️😂 A lovely episode as usual, heartly thx.🤍🦋🤍
Thrilled you enjoyed this episode. Thanks for your message.
I love your dog ❤
We love her too! We'll pass on your pats!
It’s so amazing to watch the artisans at work. What a wonderful project to be a part of.
We're thrilled you're enjoying our adventure!
I'm glad I don't have to pay for that roof. But the Slater's did a tremendous job.
Our roofers are amazing. Thank you for acknowledging their craftsmanship. Saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible without them.
fascinating history... feudal system was 'feudal'.
Tough era to be a tenant farmer.
Would you give us a rundown of all the chateau's former (and perhaps present) industries and whether they were only for use on the estate or if they were sold for profit? An example would be the pigeons which benefited the estate only. But then there was wine production though I am unsure if that was sold outside the estate. And were there others? Do you see any of these returning to help the estate produce funding to assist its restoration?
The chateau owners also owed hundreds of hectares of agricultural land beyond the estate and thousands of hectares of forest. On the chateau grounds they grew grapes for wine, they had chickens, pigs, sheep, bees as well as work horses. The entire economic model of a grand chateau was based on owning vast lands and receiving income in cash or kind for the exploitation of that land. Today, most of the land has been gradually sold off. We own a little more than 25 hectares (a bit over 60 acres). We won't pay for the restoration of the chateau and for its maintenance by becoming farmers of the modest parcels of land we own.
I appreciate your reply. I do. And I've thought about it a lot. But I have to say that I think you may not be imagining large enough. I believe you have enough acreage to bring in more dollars. While you may need to grow the brand a few more years, you have the space to create, initially, some ventures to bring in capital. You should visit some places in the US such as the Biltmore Estate to learn how to generate income.
Love to visit this place someday!
We are open every year for the weekend of Les Journees du Patrimoine (this year Sept 21-22). Entry is free, we have guided tours in French and English. We open as much of the estate as possible (including several interior rooms). There is bread baking in our baker's oven, demonstrations of the restoration techniques by our artisans and wine tastings by a local winery. It's the best way to see Purnon and view the works up close. Thanks for following our journey!
The Chateau is looking great!!! The roof is looking amazing!
We agree! Thanks for your message.
:)))
Wonderful video
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thrilled you enjoyed the episode.
Je découvre votre site très enrichissant et instructif ! Je m'abonne
The little hose shoes you found could be donkey shoes.
You're quite correct. While donkeys were shoed infrequently, that's a plausible explanation. Thanks for your message.
Wow práce pokrývačů na střeše zámku je fantastická. Bylo by pěkné kdyby se podařilo zachránit budovy bývalého statku i ten holubník. Moc vám držím palce.
Děkujeme za vaši zprávu. Nejprve musíme zachránit zámek. Pak budeme pracovat na záchraně dalších budov. Jsme rádi, že sledujete naše dobrodružství.
All the items found, the history is so important.
Exactly! Thanks for your message.
Human boots had “shoes” like horses had tacked to either the heels or the toes.
The roofers are incredible. ❤️❤️
Yes, they are amazing. It would be impossible to save Chateau de Purnon without them. Thank you for acknowledging their work.
Watching this puts me in mind of what the original farmers had to do to clear the land in order to farm it. Wow! Humans were tougher in those days!
Yes, they had tough lives. We often come across old tools and we realise how much had to be done by hand when we can use labour-saving machinery today.
Defo need a shredder🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉and not just a plug in one, a bad ass diesel engine hammer mill one,brutal🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂
Keep the moss covered boot! Use it as a planter somewhere!
👏👏
Regarding the horse shoes, particularly the small ones -check out (when you have time) the Bidet horse, including Breton Bidet, Cheval du Morvan and Haugard Horse. These were small all-use breeds from riding, carting, field work, even military. These small stature horses ranged between 110 cm/ 43in/ 11 hands to 135cm/53in/ 13 hands. The small sturdy Bidet was an important component of Renaissance France’ rural economy. As France developed thru to mid-19th century, adding roads, canals, bridges and other transportation networks, use of the Bidet dwindled, replaced by larger, more specialized steeds. Eventually, the word ‘Bidet’ yielded to the term pony. By the early 20th century the French Bidet was all-but gone and is now considered extinct. Sadly, many wonderful horse breeds are at risk of the same fate, including: traditional Morgan, Cleveland Bay, Dales/ Dartmoor/ Fell/ Highland Ponies, Clydesdale/ Irish/ Suffolk Punch/ Shire Draft horses, Lipizzan and my personal favorite, the Hackney Horse and more. I expect your small shoes were for these small work horses, the Bidet.
Thank you for all that wonderful background and historical information. Sad that those breeds have been lost to us or are at risk. We think they were a likely use for those tiny hand forged shoes.
Me gustaría ver como lo encontraron y que muebles pudieron rescatar como alguna otra antigüedad. Gracias
Tenemos un vídeo que incluye un recorrido por gran parte de los muebles y otros objetos decorativos que encontramos y guardamos en el castillo. Te animamos a que veas este vídeo. Gracias por su mensaje.
💙
I don’t know if you access to rent or purchase a big mulching machine. I’ve seen American RUclips gardeners use them and they 'eat' really tall woody plants. Clearance is fast and absolute. I love what you are doing btw. I look forward to seeing the next steps always.
Nothing should go to ‘tip’! It is all heritage! It tells how people lived, what they used for living…🇦🇺
Thank you for your message. Much of this is rubbish - broken glass, plastic bottles, aerosol cans, rubber boots and shoes, bottles from recent decades, rusted metal from tools, beds and bikes from the last half century. We explain in the video that hand forged tools and horse shoes etc are saved. But if we saved everything we found on the estate like the trash in the trailer we would have barns full of household waste that no one would regard as heritage.
Nearly 200 holes in the wall times 4 makes is a more reasonable 800+ acres this had to be a huge estate...
Get some goats to keep the vegetation down. Section off an area with an electric fence and let them go at it!
