Hi we are Grahame and Suzanne, in 2020 we bought a neglected 200 year old house in the Vendee in France. this house had no electrics plumbing Septic tank etc, and hadn't been lived in for many years... we started a Youtube channel " Our French House Renovation " to document our work of bringing this old house back to life. we are now 5 years into the renovation and getting close to completion. having spent around £75,000 on materials etc. we have done 95% of the work ourselves, unfortunately we have now run out of funds, and thought we would try this route for help. we need approx £3000 in total, to restore and rebuild the main gates and stone pillars, the gates were badly damaged by the previous owners when the reversed a truck into them, both pillars need to be partially rebuilt the right hand pillars not fixed from around halfway and is dangerous, hopefully we can save the iron gates with work and treatment. .. all this will include hiring a machine to lift the stones off and repair them and to replace the missing and damaged blocks on the left hand pillar. so if you would like to help, by making a donation, (nothing is to small) we would be forever grateful. link to our Youtube channel.. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFVakErup2QBJXKgKFuTolA

Many thanks G & S
