(#24) I Found News from 1860 Under My House's Floor!

The surprising story of the piece of paper that I found under the floor tiles in my house. As part of the renovation of my 300 year old house, I was lifting out tiles and removing the dirt below them. While shovelling the dirt I spotted something unusual and was amazed to find a crunched up piece of paper. 10 days after finding the paper I can now tell the story of what I did next and what I have discovered. Join me as I tell the story of the news printed on the paper and my ideas as to how it ended up under my floor. - - - - chapters - - - - - 00:00 intro 00:13 the discovery 00:54 next steps 01:51 about the paper 02:16 my search 03:00 the news from 1860 05:17 link to the house 06:29 outro - - - - about my channel and its videos - - - - My channel is about the renovation and restoration of an old stone house on a hill in Catalunya (North East of Spain). The house is near the Costa Brava and has magnificent views of the forest around it and the Mediterranean Sea. The house has many beautiful old features, including its stone walls, vaulted ceilings, ancient terracotta tiles and many quirky parts added over the centuries. At the moment, I am working on the house on my own as I try to turn it into a dream home in harmony with the nature and culture that surrounds it. The house is not in France or Italy and is not a Chateau or Cabin, but I watch and am inspired by channels that are. Especially Martijn Doolaard and Dan Preston's Escape to Rural France. I love Martijn's style, philosophy and cinematography and Dan's energy, humour and ambition. I'm trying to include some of these attributes in my videos.
