As always great work on the wall Grahame. I saw you mentioned something is planned for the "Driveway " later this year which hopefully will sort the issue out as it must be similar to painting the Forth Bridge as in never ending. I imagine Steve has been a great help to you there. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw

One intense hard worker, with excellent results.

I use a solution of white vinegar and dawn dish soap (95%+ vinegar with just a few drops of soap) on weeds (just spray it on the weeds and let the solution and sun work) for weeds that come up in my gravel, edges, etc. - works like a charm and doesn't harm anything other than the weeds!

thank you and thanks for watching..

I can't wait to see how you make the water tank enclosure a feature! I'm sure you'll be creative as usual. I'm glad to see you have assistance with your work -- I fear I missed it if you introduced us to the gent.

I have a property in Tarn et Garonne, an old joinery workshop, needing quite a lot of lime mortar plastering. I'm hoping to do it piece-meal over a few months, is it better to bulk buy or buy the sand and lime by the bag. Also would you suggest different mixes for inside and outside? I enjoyed the vlog btw and will look up the others 😊

For some reason I didn’t get a notification. I am a sub, anyway it was another super video.😊

KZread have been messing around again so im not surprised but many thanks

on 'this old house france' ,they take the old lime from the wall and separate it in the cement mixer and reuse that material. i think its sand and they save money that way.

@@OurFrenchHouseRenovation okay. i noticed that he only used the recycled stuff on the outside. i have never worked on a stone house and all of this is perplexing to me. just in case i happen to get a stone house in the future i have over 48 and a half channels to reference.😍😍

One of the other château owners that I’ve been watching put a couple of water heaters in there attic. I don’t know if you have any attic space just a thought. Good luck love your videos Stephanie Morosin sound of New Mexico USA.

C’est plus avantageux de chauffer l’eau en heures creuses d’électricité,en général la nuit. Donc il faut stocker l’eau chaude pour la journée. Sur un séjour ponctuel, il faut faire ses comptes en fonction du prix et de l’installation du chauffe eau.

no attic space in this house, which would have been a good place, at least here the floor can take the weight etc.. many thanks

hi Graham, did you consider tankless water heaters? I'm going that way at our beach house to save space.
