So come join Tracy and I Budo on this amazing journey and way of living.

    Nice Box sash windows, unusual to see them in rural France

    • @FrenchFarmhouseDiaries

      Yes Nigel the French missed out on these fantastic windows which is a shame really as they are way better then any thing they have here in my opinion but i must say the French people around here absolutely love them even though some of them say they remind them of the guillotine in a joking way

    i imagine Budo is a very good and passion teatcher. So everybody who is around, go and visit Budos workshops. I am sure they are fun.

    Once again, 🙄 I find myself watching Budo making furniture. It must be his passion I’m attracted to cause I’m really not interested, yet, I keep watching 😂. I think the color of the kitchen window should be the same as the outside. It’s such a warm off white and would look fabulous with the stone mortar. 🤗😘

    I really enjoyed watching how to make dovetail joint though I probably never will make my own. Also like the bone color. Not sure about the Venetian window because I don't know what else will be up on the wall.

    I must express my disappointment again, last week i was annoyed that you didn't finish the sash chord installation, this week you only showed half the dovetail cutting process. How come everyone else on TH-cam completes their explanations. I enjoy the concept of your channel, but how about the full story, i dont doubt you can do it, lets see the full process.

    Your kitchen will be such a joy to cook in! What color is the ceiling going to be? Is it going to be white? A white window will look lovely above your white sink. What color for the walls? It's such fun watching it all come together! I started watching you a month ago and am watching from the beginning too, so I'm just watching the thin concrete floor come up and the dig down for insulation. Fascinating! Thanks!
