The Restoration Man: Wellington Barn (Before and After) | History Documentary | Reel Truth History

Ойын-сауық

Marco and Kath Walker take over a pair of Grade II listed 17th and 18th century cow barns from their local farmer in Wellington, Herefordshire. The barns are tumbling down, the couple have their two young children in tow, they've never done anything like this before and are complete restoration novices, and the project is beset with problems from the start. George offers much needed advice throughout the build and discovers how these buildings and the surrounding farm helped to revolutionise cattle farming in the UK. George Clarke helps rescue neglected architectural treasures across Britain.

    Everyone is complaining about the music. You just got to watch this show commercial free and it cost you nothing. And that is because the sound was edited to get around copyright claims so it could be posted on KZread. So while it isn't ideal, let's all try to appreciate what the uploader has done so we can all watch this series here.

    I hope the projet's engineer is part of a local historical society, he has such an important view of heritage buildings. Loved his quote: "These buildings have been here serving us or serving the farming community here for how many hundreds of years. It's keeping it going that keeps the character of the village alive."

    When it comes to old structures, I would recommend doing as much of the work you can yourself. It adds to the satisfaction. I often walk around my 100 year old house to simply take in what I did. Paying someone to do the work or buying something new is enjoyable. Yet, there is nothing like laboring away and eventually leaning back and basking in a bit of your own glory. There is great reward in both the journey and the destination when your hands were involved. The difficult part for me was being patient.

    There were plenty of timbers in the old portion of the barn that were usable. Glad they used some. The skylights on the side of the roof seem out of place. All of that glass offers little privacy but it is a quiet little town and I guess that isn't a road out there. It is different in urban USA. The timbers are lovely and the kitchen is fresh. The yellow lime render is beautiful. Cute place.

BUT what often gets me wondering is why someone who is willing to put their hearts and money into a building that is in such terrible shape that it is literally falling down and likely wouldn't hold up for another winter or storm.....why are they not given to the people who will restore them? Why do they have to pay so much when what they are ultimately doing is a 'favor' to the land and the people. What we see as an eye sore is often torn down. If that's the case why don't they help the people restoring what wouldn't even be there if it weren't for these brave undertakings?

    Beautiful house etc. Love their concept but please.. The music playing in the background is most annoying. Couldn't quite hear what the presenter was saying.

    Reel Truth History Doc series team, in case any of you read the comments section... I have not subscribed but I did try to watch two episodes and the sound and the speaking and everything else is very annoying. I had to watch this very episode in mute. Anyhow, thank you for uploading these videos. I have been stuck inside this small apt because of COVID-19 quarantine and everyone else here KZread community just wants to watch an entertaining video w/o all the loud music in the background.

    Give me a day in the studio, and will remix it, and get the balance right. The music is WAY to loud.

    i think it's crazy how all these people put such a huge financial stress on themselves. love to see a 5 year follow up and see how many survived. beautiful place but at what price?

    Why in every episode, George has to walk down the long road? Why not just park the car near the house? 🤭😁

    very nice build. why they left the one exterior beamed wall which is warped way out of straight or level is beyond me. and as a handicapped person their comment about a house to grow old in so, they install a step-down living room... which makes the living room a no go zone for a senior with walking issues. when you spend all that money for what you want but, don't consider what you "will" need in a few years is childishness. looks nice but, I couldn't live with that design.
