    Yes, when we restored the Manjushri Institute in Ulverston, Cumbria in England, we did make a large photographic display of the history of the house and then added a small museum for all the many fascinating things we found up in the attics. The public were very interested and those displays were well-visited. The National Trust liked the displays too because we also documented our restoration in photographs and video, proving that the National Trust monies were put to good use. Later we added a gift shop and small grocery to sell our garden produce. soaps and candles and candies and sweets and bread that we made. ANd of course, since it became a Buddhist center, we had a gift shop with books and stuff. These additions brought in a lot of extra money, even in winter. I could see the coach house also turned into a museum and shop. We started out as a bunch of young adults just back from India, but by the end, we were all accomplished in many skills!

    I absolutely LOVE the Coach House. You might consider renting the stables out to help fund the restoration. Horse owners often have deep pockets and may help contribute funds in order to have such a lovely place to ride. It would be wonderful and traditional to have horses on the property. You could then get a dumpster placed in a hidden spot for all your renovation trash. I wish I could come help with the project. It would be a blast.

    Straw is a byproduct of wheat, oat, or possibly rye harvest. It’s the stem of the plants and mostly used for animal bedding. Hay is a plant grown for feed for horses etc. The plants are cut and dried then bundled i. e. baled so it can be moved and stored. Generally straw is golden and hay is green.

There was hay in most of the rest of the loft but he was a jockey in sulky races, I remember seeing one of his older sulkys up there , his racing silks and winners cups. There was also a double antique baby buggy with double seats and a high top that was for toddlers but could be used for babies by adding a center piece. I loved getting to go to the barn, seeing the horses and looking for kittens in the hay loft where the barn cats hid them. Great memories, hope you get to make lots with your children over the years. 🙋🏼

    Just a little tip- hay is made from different types of grasses to feed cattle/horses and is green. The color of green really depends on the type of hay and how old it is... Straw is made from wheat and is generally a yellow golden color. There's certain types of hay that horses can't eat, they have to have a higher quality hay or they will get sick as they are unlike cattle that have 4 stomachs so they are able to digest their food better, no matter the quality. Hope this helps ❤️

Making a feature of some of the structure and doorways. A younger healthy me would be begging to let me loose on this building. I hope that you find the right solution for this beautiful building.

    Your beautiful coach house should be totally cleaned out and stabilized. No longer a dumping space! If you use it as a garage for grass cutters and trailers, keep it clean for those things. Plenty of spaces to designate for children’s toys or atelier. But don’t plan a work space in a building with doubtful foundations!

And then also you need a space to store bikes, for you and maybe guests... And a place to store sport equipement like volleyball net etc.... And also the deck chairs for the garden... You need SOME house on your property to store all that, if possible close to the main house.... Just reminding you to not forget about that 😉

    Anna and Philipp, thank you for taking us on your treasure hunt. The buildings are amazing and you have all the time in the world to turn them around for different purposes. As a business woman I have learned that first you have an idea, check out if it’s feasible and then listen to what people ask about. Taking time to allow ideas to mature. And yes, please keep those lovely ladders. They don’t make them like that anymore. We are often overwhelmed by the amount of cleaning up and later regret some discards. I’ve learned from my mistakes. Nowadays I create and save things in a “not sure pile”. You can always come back later and reassess. But once it’s gone it’s gone.

In order to keep noise away from neighbors it would make sense to me if the workshop would be in the other buildings at the end of the garden. So far I must say, you have reached massive targets. Absolutely impressive. Even with the patreons most of the work needed to be done by yourself probably.

I agree that perhaps using it for a garage and storage for machinery in the main part, and perhaps the atelier and studio for Philip would open up the current studio in the chateau for another purpose. This way, you both would have a chance to get out of the main chateau to do your business. Actually, a business plan for your offices might be a perfect way to add your heating, water and electrical components in an efficient and timely way to start the restoration.
