    Thanks simon for showing me the walnut tree. It was a gift from some friends who live at the opposite end of the village.
    We never actually lived in the house, but bought it in order to renovate and then stay there as often as we could...sadly we didn't get as far as you have. Although we did put in the septic tank and prop up the far wall. The toilet and shower were put in by us as well as anything you found in the room with the fireplace. I'd be happy to tell you the plans/idea we had for the place if it is of interest.
    Also who we bought it from etc.

      I can see why you bought it, I truly love the old stone walls and hand hewn beams. I am sure it will be lovely when Simon gets done; a little piece of country heaven.

    Simon, you have the perfect personality for being a TH-camr.
    You speak well & you are doing the perfect weekend renovation project.
    In addition, you live in your caravan situated in a barn.
    All you have to do is show renovation progress, plus you enjoying a cup of coffee & from time to time, you’re fixing a meal.😊
    Converting a derelict cottage is a TH-cam content GEM 💎

Yannis works so hard and more sure of himself too. Simons calmness seems to be bringing balance to the dynamic. He looks peaceful with his role as well. Simeon holding the curtain over the toilet with no roof saying no more privacy cracked me up. I hope that this crew continues. Alex has a heart of gold to. Making tea for Simon. It’s the small things .

    I am a 74 yo retired ICU/ER registered nurse who comes from a family of masons, plasterers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, oil field workers, steel workers, chefs, waitresses, educators, and mathematicians. Many among them have a gift of music and art as well. Needless to say I have experienced a lot of life. The men in these videos represent what the core on which civilization has been built. The explorers who were builders, innovators, and artists who built homes, stables, barns, business buildings, churches, all the way up to castles. Simon, Billy, Yanni, and Ryan are working so hard to preserve the historical buildings as well as build their homes, and future businesses.
    What a marvelous blend of the old and new skills to share their journey with we the viewers all over the world.

    I love the old walnut tree… I grew with one so big we had a tire swing on it. Next to the fig tree and believe me, we could sore through the air. No broken bones thank goodness. But if in trouble for bad behavior my mother made us kids bust walnuts. This let us a lot of good walnut nut curse words… 😂

    Good for you to find the nest and not getting stung, Ryan! My uncle passed away due to being stung by a giant hornet and having an anaphylactic shock 😞
    Good job everyone! ❤️ Alex, another amazing video 👏🤩

    Roofing...a skillset way above my pay-grade. Great job, boys. There's never a video where I don't learn something valuable. Billy, I think they should start calling you: "BRICO Billy".

      @thomasherrin6798 ปีที่แล้ว

      Generally on slate galvanised nails are used, but the loop type of fixing can also be used also but is more expensive but easier to use if you don't want to hammer it into the timbers all day!?!

    hello EVERYONE, what a tremendouse effort you are all doing in getting this roof done! So interesting seeing Simon demonstrate how these tiles will be fitted. What a scare to find the hornets nests!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
