I have been checking regularly for the last couple of weeks to see any updates since I haven’t seen you for a while! Now I know what you’ve been up to and congratulations! I’m sorry Esse didn’t come through for you at least now you have an Esse! Good to see you again! Please come back soon. I hate these months long waits!

Wow, that was stressful 🫣🤭🤣 So awesome, so glad everything worked out. You guys are a hoot 👍😍
Love your vids. Keep them coming. Love to see the progress. Sorry I don't comment more but I'm usually watching you on the TV.
But know I'm always out here watching 🙋🏼‍♀️🥸🤗

[@LivingaFrenchLife]

Thank you 🤗 It's great to know you are there!

[@angelacarnes2894]

Very happy you got your Esse! How will you insulate the walls to warm the rooms up without losing the charm of the stones?

[@LivingaFrenchLife]

The stones are going to have to do all the heavy lifting. We could have insulated on the outside of the walls but we don't much care for that look. Here's hoping that keeping out the drafts and the almost 3 foot thick walls are "good enough."

[@georgesgohier484]

don't know if birds, squirrels, and bats are a problem, but you might consider wrapping the cap opening with chicken wire, to prevent visitors from nesting

[@LivingaFrenchLife]

Thanks! That's a good idea!
