How we saved 20k - by building a reclaimed stone wall ourselves #restoration #diy #renovation

When we moved into to our French Manor house in September 2024, the drive was so overgrown you could barely fit a Mini Cooper. This video covers the first part of our renovation of this space, incoporating our discoveries along the way. A home built in 1824 has many surprises to offer! Our plan was to widen the drive and create a dedicated parking area for at least 2 cars - but with room for more. We also wanted to remove the foliage which was suffocating our outbuildings and making the entire space feel damp and dark. We hope you enjoy part 1!
