My brother-in-law’s brother had a farm that looked like a well-maintained Roman era farm, less than 1 km west of Beaumontois-en-Périgordin the southwest region of the Dordogne Department. We often wished we could have visited in the decade or so before he moved back to New York permanently.
The inspiring family and friends, include his brother, my brother-in-law was really handy. He, his family, and friends having built (with help of friends and family), their lake house, separate office, two small cabins, remote 2-car carport, and dock since the early 70s. My daughter’s family is now the most active in restoring, renovating, and building new, starting with a house built in 1792 and continuously updated before they added a 26 by 36 post and beam barn a few years ago for her goats.
Fascinating to see the family making the farm so much more than just a home, with awe inspiring range of skills and innovation, renovating the buildings and adding solar, etc, through all the unusually heavy rain like we had here in Maine since last year. They seemed to do so much in one year despite the year of so much rain. I watched the whole hour and 15 minutes, without a break.
