From cutting through beams to lifting heavy frames and making on-the-spot adjustments, nothing goes as smoothly as planned but the result is incredible. Of course, it’s not just about construction. In true country life fashion, we deal with closed bakeries (no fresh baguette today!), another adventure hunting for vintage roof tiles, and a side project in our home gym where we finally add proper lighting so we can train even after sunset. Meanwhile, the fields need mowing, the garden brings mixed results with zucchini plants thriving while other crops fail, and we pour fresh concrete to secure one of the main support beams. It’s a week full of triumphs, setbacks, laughter, and progress the reality of renovating an old property in rural France. If you enjoy following couples who renovate old buildings and share the ups and downs of DIY renovation life, you’ll love this episode. Think Tyler and Todd, but with a French twist.
