We bought a dump…in France! Episode 2
The Series: Moving to France #21
In this episode we clean some debris, we weed whack some pathways around the house. We prune the Cherry tree.
We hire a van, drive to Le Harve and collect all our possessions from storage and put them in the house.
Budzy explains about the property lines and some history.
We take down some of the metal cattle fences.
Budzy has a mental breakdown!
We hire yet another van to pick up and deliver our fence materials and also haul the cinder blocks up to the workshop.

You are both hard workers and have a beautiful vision for you land. Indeed sad about the trees. What a heart-break. Can't wait to follow the journey and learn your story.
Really enjoying this series. You're both such great story tellers. Only a matter of time before YouTube picks up on this beautiful adventure. Barry
Very impressed you managed to get several hours of sunshine this week 😎
So sad for the slaughtered trees.
Holp up with next week's weather, it seems it might be pretty wet ☂
What a lovely video. I'm glad the neighbors are nice, even if they're quick with a saw.
I'm eager to follow you on your journey. One can already imagine how beautiful this place will be.
It's been magical to watch your homesteading journey… so glad you are sharing it here! Heartbreaking about the trees indeed, but as you said with your signature beautiful optimism… You found a good solution! 💝 Keep on truckin!
Just discovered your channel watch this episode and on 10 days ago you moving hay and doing your drive entrance, you really do need a front loader tractor would make life so much easier for you but I wish you luck in your endeavours I'm sure all the hard work will be worth it in the end
Do you not have a lawn mower? Or a tractor?
Just found d you ,love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dear MrBloke
Please kindly allow me to suggest something: Use the tractor and it's trailer. Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular. To both of you of course.
Were the trees on your land??? Are fast growing Cyprus tress allowed in your area, they make a good border.
I feel your pain having a neighbour, then the beautiful trees cut down to ruin the privacy… Your real grafters, moving them blocks.. many people would have used a fork lift
A wonderful project to do…I’m sure it will look amazing……hard work and effort will reward you……..I love trees too,hate to see them cut down,although …were they leylandia…firs…which create an acidic ground and although great at privacy….are not the prettiest…you can now plant some amazing trees in their place….good luck…..
Hi guys were in Normandy are you and how long you been here we just found your channel all the best Budo and Tracy
Lovely edited videos. For our viewing pleasure could you invest in some wireless mics. Hard to hear you sometimes. If we turn up the. Plume then the ads blast. Ty
I would be furious about the trees! They couldn’t call you? Wow you are handling it much better than I would.
Hi, why couldnt you use the road untill your house, just like the wood transport?
Did the neighbors explain why?
Where are you living during the renos? Doesn’t look very habitable right now.
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. We are new subscribers as of this morning and have spent the day catching up on all your vlogs. You made a great choice in property and can’t wait to see it come back to life. Do you have any background in home renovations? I’m volunteering my husband John to come over to service the tractor and give you lessons (just have to let him know tho🤣). So glad we found your channel. Take care and best wishes from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦
Given your dislike for neighbours, or indeed anyone else have you considered moving to the Namib desert or somewhere else equally remote and unpeopled?
Just discovered your site. Are you from Canada?
Wait. What??? Your neighbors cut down trees on your property???
Hey just found your Reno- good on you!
How much land came with it?
Why did they cut the trees down.who's land were they on
The why of the tree cutting is simple, they wanted more light those trees were oppressive. I look forward to your journey of building your dream!
Simply just plant something else instead of a un natural fence in the countryside
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
hard work and dedication builds dreams not just wishing it could be you. Well done to the both of you 👏👏👏
just found your channel and subscribed, good luck with all the work ahead, looking forward to future vids cheers…
I appreciate the quality of your video, the multiple camera angles, etc. I am looking forward to watching your project. Seeing those trees cut would have devastated me, too.
I totally hit the subscribe button when you re-enacted the melt down ! 😂
Enjoyed from Texas!
Hello from Perth Western Australia, I’m looking forward to following your progress and adventures 🙂
What possessed them to cut those trees down did they want to see what you're doing over there?
So sad about the trees, but you have turned a negative into a positive 😊
You are working so hard x
See you next week ❤
For a moment in time…beautifully put. A pleasure coming along with you. Tks.
I'm in two minds about the trees, cypress grow huge and can become a nightmare. I had two removed from my property, they dominated half the garden and cost 1000€ to remove! I have planted lots of fruit trees instead, I now have a view, and my neighbor's trees are a lot happier! It's sad you lost your privacy, but you've probably gained light.
You are not strangers to hard work keep safe.
Wise words because we may legally "own" some piece of land but in reality really we're just it's custodians..
Going great!
