Not Quite a Chateau DIY French project

Tony makes metal crosses to brace the tower and he tackles the last part of the tree, but it doesn't go smoothly!

We are Tony and Jane and we are living in and renovating our old Relais De Poste/Coaching Inn.
We live in the middle of France in a region called The Berry.
We have over 40 rooms to renovate so there is plenty of work to be done. We also love to trawl the local Brocantes, flea markets and antique shops for quirky furnishings and furniture.
We love to find out about local history and often visit other peoples buildings including our friends’ Chateaux.

Jane you mean Superman versus tree- Tony what a job! I hope Tony had a stiff drink after that. Glad the waters receded Jane. 🙋‍♀️ 😘 😘

Great plan Tony has in place for stitching the wall together in that odd corner. That tree wanted to put up a fight but it was on its way out already. Back to post river updates 😊☀️🌊

Morning Jane, Ton did well cutting that tree and now for the finale in destroying the unwanted and problem causer. So pleased to see the water level down to a much safer level. All is drying out lovely, hopefully not too much rain to cause concerns again. A good idea to keep those trees away from the oven building, giving that a good chance to recover and save what can be saved. This was really a perseverance and patience playing out full. Now that is cleared, enjoy a beautiful day, do take care. Many blessings, Elize

Hi Jane. On another chateau channel the guy killed of tree trunks by using hot water and salt. He drilled holes in the trunk and poured the mixture down the holes. Because it’s raining so much you can cover the trunk with plastic and within a couple of weeks it dies off. If it takes a bit longer you can repeat the mixture again til it dies. It’s 1 part salt to 3 parts boiling water. It does work as I tried it recently ❤

Oh thanks for that Catherine, we'll have to try that out x

Hi Jane and Tony, it’s great to hear you laugh again. Tony is a man on a mission with that tree stump come he’ll or high water he is not letting that tree get the better of him. He deserves a nice cup of tea and a ciggie after all that work. 👏🏼😘🇨🇮😃

Epic struggle! Good thing Tony does not give up. The partial stump must weigh about 250 pounds! Maybe the part that remains could be carved into a little perch or bench.

It was very very heavy Gloria, but it still would have floated away in the flood!

Thank Heavens you must have been very very frightened I had a massive tree that nearly took the side of my house down I had it cut down but they left a massive stump I hammered piles of copper nail in it after twenty years it is gone that’s why you got cracks in your bread oven I had the same the builder laughed all the way to the bank he charged me a lot of money better doing it yourselvesxxxx

Seeing the vlog on the flooding first really gives some perspective on just how high the river got. Tony wouldve been damn near waist deep cutting that stump! 😮 Hopefully mother nature has gotten it out of the way for the next 20 odd years 🤞

Now you will have to do a new intro video maybe Patrick and Stuart can help you design one :) now that you will have a new roof in the fall and 2 new outbuildings ;) just a thought. Once the water recedes I am sure you will have more progress on your outbuildings with a bit also of repointing will help. Tony is such a hard worker just listening to your convo as he is working adding words in for you vocally Jane ;) I am glad you are practicing your French as makes me smile a lot to hear you :) maybe some miniature roses. The bark is pretty strong.
