My Wife Wanted to Save Money, So We Buried an Old Barn Under Our Garage!

What is this building project? We are building an original workshop in the backyard. To do this, we demolished the old barn, and partially dismantled the garage. The workshop will be combined with a garage, they will be united by a single roof and a unique facade. We perform all work in accessible ways and use simple skills. In this video, we built a practical, non-buried foundation using recycled materials from the brick walls of a barn. Why do we need a workshop? We need this workshop to implement other important projects for us. Our dream is to build an expedition sailing yacht in the backyard according to our own design. On this yacht we plan to live and travel around the world in the second half of life. This workshop will greatly help us in this. Who are we? We are a happy couple Vita and Hena. We like to create with our own hands, in this we find ourselves. We love making videos and try to make them useful. Therefore, we will develop ourselves and will further develop this channel for you. What's next, where are we going? We have a lot of creative projects planned. They will be like small homemade crafts for the improvement of the workshop, our house and the backyard. As well as large construction projects like a sailing yacht. We will try to make beautiful videos about all these construction adventures and will definitely share them with you. How can you help us?
