I fixed the rising damp using ancient techniques in the construction of the retaining wall. The cottage project is now structurally secure, and ready for the next stage.

Here on my channel, I am renovating a 250 year old stone cottage on my property in Normandy, France. By using traditional, low-waste and off-grid methods, I'm aiming to keep the charm and character of this old building, and turn it into a furnished, finished home for family whilst keeping environmental impact as low as possible. There will also be content on living in France, visiting beautiful rural places, hunting for antiques, gardening, and more!

See you in Sean's World.

    I think each little stone is a small prayer to ensure all goes well! 🙏

    Very satisfying to relocate the dug up earth. So glad you decided to level it all.

    I've been giving it some thought. Maybe the gravel is there to give the next layer of rock something to grab onto as well as stabilize it when installing it? Love the progress Sean.👷‍♂️ Oh and farmers know it all when it comes to the weather.

    Adding marble chips to lime mortar can enhance its workability, flexibility, and durability.
  • Well, I have no idea what the granite pieces are for, but I’m looking forward to finding out!

    Well done Sean, you work really hard! On TV, the lounge area looks really small. Is there enough room for armchairs in there.
  • @vc4154
    Please someone tell us why Sean is sprinkling gravel on top ? thanks in advance.
  • Sean…it’s amazing that you can find so many uniquely shaped rock… here you have to think twice in a civilized area helping yourself to a stone…I know your on your land for your large stones
  • you need to fix a plate you can attach to that sledge hammer with a larger tamping surface
