Marco and Kath Walker take over a pair of Grade II listed 17th and 18th century cow barns from their local farmer in Wellington, Herefordshire. The barns are tumbling down, the couple have their two young children in tow, they've never done anything like this before and are complete restoration novices, and the project is beset with problems from the start. George offers much needed advice throughout the build and discovers how these buildings and the surrounding farm helped to revolutionise cattle farming in the UK. George Clarke helps rescue neglected architectural treasures across Britain.

Everyone is complaining about the music. You just got to watch this show commercial free and it cost you nothing. And that is because the sound was edited to get around copyright claims so it could be posted on RU-vid. So while it isn't ideal, let's all try to appreciate what the uploader has done so we can all watch this series here.

@donnascheele7752 2 года назад

How about NO music? Why does every RU-vidr feel compelled to add background music? How about NO music?

@ValerieVfc 4 года назад

I hope the projet's engineer is part of a local historical society, he has such an important view of heritage buildings. Loved his quote: "These buildings have been here serving us or serving the farming community here for how many hundreds of years. It's keeping it going that keeps the character of the village alive."

@gayleralan 2 года назад

The government should give people who take these kind of projects on, an interest free loan! This is our heritage and it's just been made difficult for people to preserve these buildings! These people are literally saving our history

@bg147 2 года назад

When it comes to old structures, I would recommend doing as much of the work you can yourself. It adds to the satisfaction. I often walk around my 100 year old house to simply take in what I did. Paying someone to do the work or buying something new is enjoyable. Yet, there is nothing like laboring away and eventually leaning back and basking in a bit of your own glory. There is great reward in both the journey and the destination when your hands were involved. The difficult part for me was being patient.

Excellent and enjoyable, as this series almost always is--save for the continuing regrettable problem of poor sound mixing that has the music drowning out the dialog in some places.

@CraveLex 2 года назад

So true, I've also noticed the sound issue while watching Restoration Home on this channel. It (this series, at least) seems to have better sound quality on other channels, which makes me wonder whether it is channel-specific rather than substandard mixing.

@victoriawolfe5845 4 года назад

I so enjoy this show. The last few I've watched had a completed project, thankfully. But what you talk about during each project is important to hear. However, the dramatic music drowns your voice out. What you talk about is much more important than the music.

There were plenty of timbers in the old portion of the barn that were usable. Glad they used some. The skylights on the side of the roof seem out of place. All of that glass offers little privacy but it is a quiet little town and I guess that isn't a road out there. It is different in urban USA. The timbers are lovely and the kitchen is fresh. The yellow lime render is beautiful. Cute place.

These restorations are both amazing and beautiful ! BUT what often gets me wondering is why someone who is willing to put their hearts and money into a building that is in such terrible shape that it is literally falling down and likely wouldn't hold up for another winter or storm.....why are they not given to the people who will restore them? Why do they have to pay so much when what they are ultimately doing is a 'favor' to the land and the people. What we see as an eye sore is often torn down. If that's the case why don't they help the people restoring what wouldn't even be there if it weren't for these brave undertakings?
