Les Néoruraux #9 // On reconstruit un appentis (3/3)

Hey! Hi there! 👋 We're Sarah and Quentin, two city dwellers dreaming of a greener, more nature-oriented world. We've embarked on the adventure of a lifetime: moving to the countryside to revive a Breton farmhouse that's been abandoned for over 20 years! 🌱 In this 9th episode, we're finishing the renovation of the lean-to behind the longère (traditional Breton farmhouse), this time on the house side. We're going back to building a new frame, a simpler one this time, and replacing the roofing. And we're finishing up by building a door from scratch. In total, this lean-to renovation cost us €5,000: €2,000 for Douglas fir for the frame; €2,500 for reinforced PVC for the roofing; €500 for hardware, masonry, and miscellaneous items. The frame took 8 days of work with 2 or 3 people. The roof took 5 days with 2 people, and the rest (masonry, cladding, door, etc.) took another 7 days on our own. We now have 110m² to work in, dry and dry, outside, without needing electricity thanks to the transparent PVC, and we've diverted water away from the north-facing walls of our future farmhouse (which was the primary goal!). We're very proud of the result and can't wait to get started on the next steps :D On this channel, we talk about renovation (of course), but we'll also discuss self-sufficiency and agroecology... Sarah is a nanny, Quentin is a videographer, so you can imagine we're starting from scratch! But we're super motivated, and we're eager to share everything we learn with you.
