Spring DIY projects on our French Homestead 

Great to see things are progressing nicely despite the weather 😊👍

The old Pythagorean theorem to get your 90 Degrees, I like it 👍

Wowsas, that looks to have been a busy March and an awful lot of concreting… 👀 Hope you have an easier April JP, drink more coffee… 👍🏻 😉

After the 2nd wheel barrel load of cement (At the initial pour 18 years ago.) I would have been investing in a trailer for the garden tractor. Work on the vanity door is progressing, albeit slowly, with the breaks in the rain. Nice to see yer no often left unsupervised. Take care & stay safe JP, L & G.

You have been busy. The weather extremes with lots and lots of rain plus extreme heat can be a challenge. You will have quite some m3 of water ready for summer.

Beer o' clock is a great time of day :D

Epic work JP !!! youresome man !!! well done

8:04 the ground looks like my backyard. It’s mud season here in Ohio. The pond is growing even larger, it may break the record from several years ago. Still raining here. Come May, the flowers will be beautiful.

You are giving an archeologist a lot of work and research in the future.

Was wondering why you were building a concrete and breizeblock stand that included a buried wood-burning stove just to put a water butt on... here's me thinking its was one of those 70 gallon black things you buy from B&Q. A thousand years from now an archaeologist will dig that up and think his found some hidden treasure. You never said what the metal things were that you've moved a few times. (Some kind of antener to pick up the cricket on the radio maybe...). All that rain (and occasional sun) means you could start a vineyard 🙏🏽

Hope your neighbours don’t know you’re from the Manchester area or they’ll be blaming you for the bad weather JP.😂😂

Can I borrow the jack hammer? I’ve got a piece of concrete I have to break up. Just let me know if your across the pond and have in your luggage…hehe.
