FIRE HAZARD SOLVED-NO 153. We Risked Everything

Bonjour to you all in tonight's video Tracy continues work on cleaning the slate tiles for the Kitchen roof and Budo continues work in the kitchen with the insulation and stud work and Budo and Tracy give an update on the kitchen island build.
#simpleliving #homestead #renovation #farmhouse #selfsufficiency #homesteading #frenchfarmhouse #abandonedfarmhouse
Follow our journey as we renovate an abandoned ancient old farmhouse we bought and creating a off grid homestead by being self-sufficient growing our own food and creating an orchid for fruit, managing our own fire wood with our two woodlands to give us free heating and hot water and making every thing we need in our renovation like the doors, windows, floors, staircases, Kitchen, panelling, bathroom, porch, and many more projects as I'm a Carpenter & Joiner using my skills to build this dream which you can see in lots of our videos we have all ready loaded up on our channel and also we will be sharing our crafts and also Tracy will be doing all the soft furnishings in our farm house on our homestead. So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

    I laughed when Budo was mentionning that he sometimes would do some prepping and cooking and Tracy replying that she should film that! That cracked me up. Also, great idea to have seating at the island. I have that, and we sit at the island for most of our meals instead of in the formal dining room (my kitchen is too small to have a breakfast nook, so my island sort of fills that role). Also, I agree with you both to have the sink separate from the island. Budo, if you can, build all your lower units with drawers (pot drawers, etc.) because it makes for a more efficient use of the cupboard/cabinet space. You open the drawer and you see everything there; none of this « take everything out of the cupboard because the pot is at the back….). Haha, so that’s my two-cents’ worth 😊 loving all your ideas so far. Tracy will have a dreamy kitchen, for sure!

    Hi Tracy and Budo. Isn’t it too bad that you couldn’t get your wood dried like you wanted. Of course, that doesn’t stop you from doing other important stuff. I admire how you take it in stride. No whining, you just plow on… The kitchen is coming along very nicely, with the walls and floor all prepped. And I am drooling over your drawing of the « aga wall ». It is spectacular! That kitchen will be the envy of not only the neighbourhood, but of the whole county! I agree with you on the wider alleyways in the kitchen. You can afford it since you have such a big space. And a big island with storage and seating 👍🏻 We’d all love to see a rendering of the rest of the units and island. 😊. With Tracy’s pointing on the stone walls and Budo’s kitchen cabinets and woodwork, wow! Just Wow! Just loving this progress. I am in awe of your talents. Wishing you good luck with the rest of the work, and lots of sunshine and warmth in the coming weeks so that you can crack on with the roof 😊 greetings from 🇨🇦

    Traci--I forgot, did you guys decide what was going against the pointed stone wall side? A small, armless banquet/bench seating against the wall w/ small oblong table & 2 chairs would be great in there. And I will say that the biggest regret I've ever heard about kitchen islands? making them too deep (we all have a ton of stuff to store, but these can so easily take over your kitchen) Good luck on this!🙂

    When planning my last kitchen, some genius thought I had enough walking room between the sink and freestanding island which had a large dishwasher installed in the island which faced the sink. Have you guessed my problem. Sink and dishwasher directly inline with each other. 1. I couldn't stand at the sink to rinse off dishes with the dishwasher door open. 2. The dishwasher door wouldn't fully open. It hit the cabinet under the sink. There was not enough walkway. I sold that house. You have a great plan. What a lucky girl Tracy is.

    I love watching your videos, you have inspired me to attempt to lime mortar the internal stone walls at our small house in Burgundy. I'll be stripping off the plaster and digging out the joints when I go over at the end of April ready to redo the mortar when I'm there again in August, following your lime mortaring videos avidly, for hints and tips. Anyway about your lovely new kitchen. I wanted to direct you to watch an American homesteader called Becky from 'Acre Homestead' she has a central island and it has deep drawers around the top of the island where she keeps her baking ingredients flour etc. in tall tupperware type containers, she can scoop out what she needs as she cooks seems a really handy setup I thought you might be interested.

    Hi Darren yes it was in a way but it might be a blessing as its air drying now and is around 26% so it shouldn't take to long as summer is creeping in and also i would of had to stored it if it came back in a month so every thing should be good mate 🍺🤠👍🏻

    It looks as though it’s going to a wonderful kitchen! Wondering if I messed it, is there to be a boot room? Living I. The country, a mud/ boot room has so many practical purposes. Thank you for your videos! A Gram from MO.

    Two questions ? Can you use a cement board product to insulate the heat around the stove wall? How much room will you need between the island and the stove when the stove door is opened and you are putting in or taking out product?

    Hi William thank you i did think of that but it started to encroach on the island space but we have it all in hand now and ill be doing some really interesting insulating on the out side in an old fashioned way with lime as the main product so keep watching buddy 🍺🤠👍🏻

    Ah, so frustrating about your wood drying issue. But oh my, I can feel your excitement about the kitchen!! 2 comments: first, with large islands, it's sometimes difficult to reach the center to wipe it down. Second, a big charcuterie tray built on a turn table (lazy Susan in the US) would be cool. I'm so excited for you, can't wait to see Tracy cooking in her kitchen 😊😊

    I came here just now to make a similar comment about a large island, only my notion is there could be wasted space in the center if the cabinets only go on the periphery. Budo is clever enough to add some hidden shelves on rails for items Tracy only needs access to once or twice a year, but that is something that needs to go into the whole island design from the start. Just something to think about!

    The kitchen sounds lovely. Have you considered making the area of the island where you plan to have stools a lower level and making it look like a farmhouse table. As a shortie my pet hate is tall stools at an island- quite uncomfortable, whereas table height and chairs would be lovely casual dining and still a sociable space to talk to the cook.

    Great vlog Bodo and Tracy. The pic of the range looked outstanding can’t wait to see it done. Shame about the wood yard but no doubt you’ve got it covered, there must be more than one wood yard with a drying process. Just thinking out loud, wont the rear of the Aga be insulted at the back to stop possible heat transfer at the rear? Would tiles protect the plaster board? Just a thought. Love it when your explaining what your doing. You took a huge risk explaining to Tracy on how the kitchen works! LOL. Stay well you two.

Love what you're doing and your definitely an insperation to us all.only wish I had half your talents. 1 question I have is a while back you got the electric bike which you put together and you were going to do a review of it. I seem to have missed that one. Do you know what episode it was in if you infact did do a review. Many thanks and I'm only 2 months behind now. Can't wait to catch up. Regards, Nigel in Leeds.
