    Marilyn says she likes to think she's Superwoman but she's not. I beg to differ! What a go-getter, good humored, mentally and physically strong woman. All her family and friends are blessed to have her in their lives, I'd wager! A lovely couple, family, and restoration. A thousand best wishes from the U.S.

      This was my first time seeing this farm restoration and this restoration is my absolute favorite, because it is an actual family farmhouse which was owned by actual ordinary hard-working, English farmers, and not wealthy aristocrats I would love to see a video of the completed house restoration and the landscaping with the pond and he ideas that they mentioned as well as the farm animals. I loved their farm, and seeing for the most part, just the two of them doing the restoration, using the traditional building methods would have been used 500 years ago. It makes you appreciate the hard work people had to perform and that was required to provide a foundation for modern construction techniques.

      For sure and I thought painting the whole inside and outside of my house at 70 and cutting up a 50+ foot tree that fell in my yard up by myself was amazing at my age. KUDOS to this couple. I honestly struggle to lift 50 pounds. My spirit is still there. My strength and grip in my hands is lacking. But baby I hung onto that chain saw for three weeks day after day in 100 degree weather and smoke in the air from local fires that year to get that tree off my lawn.

Until you pay that mortgage off that house belongs to the bank. The real chilling graft starts the day after you install the postbox and you get your first bill. We never hear how that goes….
