Key insights about video No 47.WHAT HAVE WE DONE #DIY, #GARDENING, #RENOVATION, #RESTORATION, #CARPENTER,

🏡 The video creators sold their house in the UK in September 2020 and moved to Normandy, France, where they purchased an ancient farmhouse with outbuildings, woodlands, and pastured land.

🛠 They document their journey of renovating the farmhouse, managing their land, and taking on various projects.

🪟 In the video, they discuss fitting a new window, the process of doing so, and the techniques they use to recycle old double glazed window units.

💵 By splitting old double glazed units and reusing the glass, they save approximately 70 euros per window box.

🖼 The windows are being installed with precision to ensure they align correctly despite the bulging and movement of the farmhouse's walls over the years.

🎨 Tracy contributes by painting and oiling wood, and will also help with touch-ups and finalizing window installations.

🌿 They mention ongoing work outside, including preparing areas for future development like the kitchen and managing vegetation to repurpose it for wattling fencing.

🌳 The presence of woodland and multiple trees on their property provides opportunities for logging and creating habitats, which are future projects they plan to take on.

☔ The design of the new windows and shutters is meant to work together to withstand Normandy's rainy weather by guiding water away from the building and improving durability.

🔍 The creators share a glimpse of their process and invite viewers to follow for the reveal of the finished windows later in the week.
