Converting a Derelict Barn Into Our Family Home | The Reintroduction (Ep1)
After months of mortgage limbo, our UK barn conversion is properly back on. This is the reintroduction: everything that's happened so far, where the build is at right now, and the plan from here.
We're converting an agricultural barn near Bath into our family home, and filming the whole thing. The budget, the mistakes, the wins, all of it. No TV magic, just a real self build by a real builder.
