244. With Ted out of action, renovations on the chateaus final apartment are set on hold, however there is always work to keep us going. Lesa continues in the laundry room and finds out some fascinating history. But whilst work commences there is an amazing find under the dirt and stone.

I just love the amount of respect you are showing this beautiful old bread oven. You even switched down to a paintbrush to uncover the ancient egg. Just like a real archaeologist!And the pure joy on your face when you got it out safely…had me smiling along with you! Congratulations on work well done.

How I’ve seen it done with a bread oven is that they fill it with sand and remove all the bricks and then re-brick it and then scoop out all the sand. Bread oven fixed

It's been a long journey of watching you grow and grow in your skills, and learning to really appreciate you both. Your characters, your music, your love of history, your MANY talents. We love your dogs, your cooking skills, your love of the place and the people that are neighbors. You both could qualify for degrees in plumbing, carpentry, pointing, sewing, painting, window glazing. I'd need the rest of the subscribers to remember all the many things you both can do now that you didn't know how to do before. We all pray for you to heal completely and continue to love each other in front of us.

My husband said had gone to the ER a number of times over his career. From smashing his thumb to cutting fingers with a table saw, etc., he still worked for over 40 years. Glad it wasn’t worse and you’re recovering. 👍🏻😉

@lindalagarce8996 Ай бұрын

It looks like to me they probably built the fire in the center and put the bread on the ledges to bake. Fascinating story about the baker being a tax collector. Makes a lot of sense. Hugs from Texas! Love y’all!

Is that a real egg? I found one in my old backyard that was made of white china or pottery of some kind. Someone told me that people put them in hen's nesting spots to encourage laying, and that place was old enough that earlier inhabitants would probably have had a hen house in the backyard. And that looks like it was a VERY big rat.

Wire the inside with a light. When the main light is turned on the light inside the bread oven goes on at the same time. Then have some fake bread in the oven as if the bread is baking. Think about that.

I've seen forms built of wood and Styrofoam to support curved pieces like that. Which would be a simple and inexpensive way to support it at least temporarily. You do a straight wood back for the strength, the foam is cut to the rough shape of the arch or curve. And then fitted in with cross support. Like I said that could be a good and cheap way to temporary support the structure, until you can do a more permanent restoration if that is what you are going to do. I can point to an example on how they used that to build a stone arch in a house/barn restoration in italy. the "Raising Voyagers" channel "Building a Stone Arched Doorway" video.

I'm impressed by the stabilization of the bread oven. I would have done as you did - repair the outside first, then work inward. You may even be able to repair the fallen back wall eventually. (I wonder if its disrepair is due to the tight space?) The style of building, using narrow bricks on edge, seems to me to be very old but I can't remember where I have seen it in a documentary. The history about enforced communal baking and taxation is very interesting; I know people were also forced to use the Lord's mill in some places.

Even to make the oven safe for guests to look at is enough I think maybe put a plant inside in a pot to pretty it up or a light feature. I also think it would be good to make as a heating source for the room if you had overhead racks for drying blankets or non dryer items. I have to say the most interesting laundry facilities I have ever seen :) usually a chore for me even on holiday this would be a treat to sit in the room and peruse all your hard work minus your storage of course. When will the storage freezers go in? I hope you will have a backup power source so you don't have any issues. Ecoflow is a great source of sponsor if you were to get one. Take Care Lesa and Ted and pups. Both of you are precious to us too be careful.
