WTF are we going to do here?
To:
Garden of Gains!
The property used to be a farm. As such, it was made of several buildings, of which only old stone walls remain.
One of these former buildings has a well-defined space. It still appears on the “cadastre” (the official French registry for properties), which means that it was still standing somewhat recently (some decades ago, but not some centuries ago).
The old stone walls create a semi-enclosed space where we wanted to build a support to grow roses which would double as an outdoor structure to hang CALIRINGS (see caliring.com).
Part 1: Cleanup and Preparation
Part 1: Cleanup and Preparation
Due to the collapse of the roof and the upper walls, the building was unfortunately full of and surrounded by rubbles. The first step was to cleanup the space, sorting dirt from stones, in order to see what we could do here.
The soil and stones were at over one meter height in some areas!
Good surprise 🥳 ! We found the (very) old stone flooring under the rubbles.
Part 2: Building the wood structure
Part 2: Building the wood structure
After the base was setup, we let it dry. When we came back, we installed the wood structure. I am really really lucky to have the help and the tools from my family 🤗 and the additional help from friends who allows agree kindly to lend me material.
At 9AM, the wood got delivered
We first cut it to size, and checked it in the final place
Everything fit right into place 🥰
