    Mowing lawn in January. WOW! I was wondering why you were putting a fence up. One suggestion if you don't mind. I would have put the fence about 10 feet past the trees that you have planted. Livestock love the buds on fruit trees. Great idea of using the old pattern for the doorway. Funny how one thing leads to another. Weather isn't cooperating for you. So love watch you and Suzie work around your little castle.

      Thank you Kristine, if we get any livestock we will put temporary/movable fencing up to keep the grass in check. Best wishes, Suzie and Rols

    Great new's Rol's on your thumb, and a great idea re-useing the wooden linsil you found, Suzie is looking really well, thanks for sharing your video and take care see you Sunday?X💕🌼🤗

    Rols, I am glad your thumb is healing well. To this day, I have to look away when I see an electric saw in use after my brother did the same as you years ago. I often wished I could use one over the years, though.
    The grass is so green there. I remember the dogs eating the carrots! My dog looks away from any veggies.
    I have a feeling you both will have a good garden this year.
    Best wishes from Canada.

    I think a walled garden is on my chateau must haves! 😁. The fur babies love fresh produce too!

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier
      @chateaucitadelleducavalier  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Luisa, absolutely a must have. The great thing about our place is that we are completely walled in so we can just let the dogs out and they happily roam around. Best wishes, Suzie and Rols

    We had a cat that ate the cucumbers in our garden. Not the whole thing just bites out of everyone. Thought it was a rabbit at first then caught the cat. It sure is green, looks good. The rain has helped that at least.

    Great your on the mend Rolls did I here correct that your a Carpenter buddy if so naughty naughty you should be making them former arches your self and giving content to TH-cam LOL 😲😲😂😂🤣🤣 all the best Budo thank you for sharing

    • @Tony-InLosAngeles
      @Tony-InLosAngeles ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Budo; Rols did it one better he recycled ♻️from what was there and adapted it to the new situation. (Never a shortage of content with an old château)
      Ready for the next job!
      Page out of your book 📖 👨🏻‍🌾👷🏻‍♂️
      🤣😂🤣

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier
      @chateaucitadelleducavalier  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Budo, my grandfather and father were carpenters so it's in the blood but I have never had the opportunity to practice it until now. Unfortunately my workshop is still a cluttered old barn so recycling the former has created some space and the remainder been chopped up for the logburner, so win, win, win 😁😁😁 As you and Tracy know, lack of TH-cam content is not really a problem when taking on the sort of projects we have all taken on 😂😂 All the best to you both and keep the vlogs coming, Rols 👍

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier
      @chateaucitadelleducavalier  ปีที่แล้ว

      and the remainder of the former ended up in the logburner, win, win, win 😂😂

    Обалдеть какой домик сельской мечты, все русские мечтают о такой усадьбе, да еще и тепло, в Крыму и Донбассе надо такие строить, и яхтенный причал, и трактор дыр дыр дыр, так и будет там!

  • @DownButNotOutYet

    Good afternoon Suzie a& Rols, That was excellent news how the thumb is healing, do take care until March and a bit thereafter. Unfortunately a hard lesson learned. The best is, the thumb was saved which is a blessing itself. The grass always looks grand after a cut, and yes, a second touch up will be better. Can say much about the short delivery of the poles, let's believe it was a genuine oversight. I think it was time to get inside as the wind becomes quite chilly before the heavens open. Enjoy a good cup of strong tea not forgetting a tasty biscuit. Take care, go well.

    It amazes me how some dogs eat carrots. My Jack Russells won’t touch them. Although we had an Australian Cattle Dog and he loved to pinch the strawberries out of our garden. 🇦🇺

    Hey Suzie and Rols, so happy to hear your thumb is doing well, it's funny watching you mow the lawn in January. I don't think I have ever seen anyone do that. Is the Livestock going to be Donkey's hmmm. maybe? I loved seeing the dogs dig up the carrots, they are a healthy treat for them. I agree with you, enough of hospitals. Stay warm, Love from N.Y.

    Hi glad your mending well. Could you just pull those bricks down and replace them?

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier
      @chateaucitadelleducavalier  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Deloris 👍 We probably will take down the rest of the arch but we will assess it at the time. Best wishes, Suzie and Rols

  • @ce1581
    @ce1581 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know if you can get identical bricks but it seems you cut bricks to size and rag roll some dye colors onto them to get close ? I just like exercising my brain when I watch you work . ❣️

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier

    • @chateaucitadelleducavalier
      @chateaucitadelleducavalier  ปีที่แล้ว

      The grass died off in the summer and a lot of weeds came through last autumn so Rols was basically mowing weeds to give the grass a chance to get going
