  • Marco and Kath Walker take over a pair of Grade II listed 17th and 18th century cow barns from their local farmer in Wellington, Herefordshire. The barns are tumbling down, the couple have their two young children in tow, they've never done anything like this before and are complete restoration novices, and the project is beset with problems from the start. George offers much needed advice throughout the build and discovers how these buildings and the surrounding farm helped to revolutionise cattle farming in the UK. George Clarke helps rescue neglected architectural treasures across Britain.

    Everyone is complaining about the music. You just got to watch this show commercial free and it cost you nothing. And that is because the sound was edited to get around copyright claims so it could be posted on CZcams. So while it isn't ideal, let's all try to appreciate what the uploader has done so we can all watch this series here.

    When it comes to old structures, I would recommend doing as much of the work you can yourself. It adds to the satisfaction. I often walk around my 100 year old house to simply take in what I did. Paying someone to do the work or buying something new is enjoyable. Yet, there is nothing like laboring away and eventually leaning back and basking in a bit of your own glory. There is great reward in both the journey and the destination when your hands were involved. The difficult part for me was being patient.

    There were plenty of timbers in the old portion of the barn that were usable. Glad they used some. The skylights on the side of the roof seem out of place. All of that glass offers little privacy but it is a quiet little town and I guess that isn't a road out there. It is different in urban USA. The timbers are lovely and the kitchen is fresh. The yellow lime render is beautiful. Cute place.

    Reel Truth History Doc series team, in case any of you read the comments section... I have not subscribed but I did try to watch two episodes and the sound and the speaking and everything else is very annoying. I had to watch this very episode in mute. Anyhow, thank you for uploading these videos. I have been stuck inside this small apt because of COVID-19 quarantine and everyone else here CZcams community just wants to watch an entertaining video w/o all the loud music in the background.

    Would love to hear if they're still in the house and still together.

    The music has got to go, it’s too loud!

  • @aracelifprietocherryberry

    Your bideos are very interesting and I like to see them and be amazed by people'stamina and zest for a better way of life. I would suggest a little equalising of voice and music. Because it's practically impossible to hear.

    I love the old barns but they turned it into something very cold and sterile to me but to each his own great job

    I'm very disappointed with the loud music and intermittent muffled voice when explaining the history and facts of the house/project. The voice-over is being killed by the music. One of the worst episodes to listen to.

      the music has been added on by Reel Truth Documentaries to mask the original audio to avoid copyright strikes from CZcams.

    The house is sold. I hope their marriage survived. Projects like this make or break them. We’ve been there.

    i think it's crazy how all these people put such a huge financial stress on themselves. love to see a 5 year follow up and see how many survived. beautiful place but at what price?

    These restorations are both amazing and beautiful ! BUT what often gets me wondering is why someone who is willing to put their hearts and money into a building that is in such terrible shape that it is literally falling down and likely wouldn't hold up for another winter or storm.....why are they not given to the people who will restore them? Why do they have to pay so much when what they are ultimately doing is a 'favor' to the land and the people. What we see as an eye sore is often torn down. If that's the case why don't they help the people restoring what wouldn't even be there if it weren't for these brave undertakings?

    Doesn,t matter what you watch films especially , war films the worst battle scene increase volume to hear what their saying cannon goes of nearly blows speakers and eardrums to boot. When I was young I spent six nights a week in pictures, 3 picture houses 4thburnt down, 2 films a night changed every Thursday , sounds were loud but everything was recorded at same volume.
