20 - What Did Unrelenting Rain Do To Our Old Barn?

It's been a leisurely week with unrelenting rain. When even the chickens seek refuge midday, you know it's notable. Philippe has taken on a task close to my heart-installing the cooking stove into the worktop. This promises to be a back-saver! Yay!
Unfortunately, the rain and a partially damaged barn led to a minor mishap with a small section of the wall collapsing. But, as they say, after the rain comes sunshine, and it brought us our first vivid double rainbow!

    So I've arrived at episode 20. I am thoroughly enjoying your videos. Admire the determination to get things done. I love the way the chickens follow as areas have been cleared to see what rich pickings they can find. What a beautiful place to be. x

    If only you had some scaffolding lying around to hold up the barn roof LOL 😂 love watching this show. recommend a trailer on back of mower to log gear and wood around. Have spent many autumns chopping hard wood and it is brutal. You did great. ❤

    Oops we took them down a few videos later 😅, but don't worry we will have new nest boxes since we are going to point the stone walls we will take away some of their nesting places we want to replace them.

    Yeah they hunt at the bottom of our land from time to time, we got a sanglier roast not long ago 👍, we wanted to tackle the roof in the spring but the digging at the barn is going slower then i thought so it will be a bit later i think.

    You got lucky with the roof, considering what happened it did minimal damage thankfully, and your caravan wasn't parked there. Great seeing the wildlife using the property, surprising to see how many wild boar.👍❤

    What part of France do you live , it’s beautiful green and plenty of trees. You seem to have good rainfall whereas some parts of France are very dry or so I have heard. Loving your content Sharyn and Rosie from New Zealand ❤

    Thx sandmac! We have hunters from the village who hunt the wild boar to keep the population in check, especially for the farmers their fields. We get meat from time to time from them 👍

    Can you ratchet the broken beam into place and bolt a sister beam onto the original? Is that possible?

    Hi there, These tiles are not decorative. They are here to protect the wall from rain. It's called a "génoise". fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A9noise_(architecture)
