    Well done, Mr Preston, well done. I wasn't sure there would ever be a roof, never mind this Chinese puzzle box very complicated structure.
    Dan and his band of merry men can do just about anything they put their minds to. 👍

Dan, a gardener in chucks with a couple of hand tools and a dream of restoring a burned out and mostly buried Châteaux persevered and look at it now! Look at you now! Congrats Dan! How you don’t have millions of subscribers is bizarre as your and Steph’s channels are so freaking amazing to watch the transformation of your respective Chateauxs!!

    GUYS! Please use ear protection. I just got my ears tested, have always protected them & have divers ear. After swimming for years, causing bumps in my ear channel. Narrowing the ear channel. My hearing is now a 5 out of a scale of 10. If you want to still hear when you get older, protect your ears especially around loud noises. Great job guys.
    Rock on!🤙

      @@shoutatthesky Dan has been using OSB3, which is slightly waterproof. Granted, this part of France gets a ton of rain, as seen in all the Vlogs, and evidenced by the gigantic trees. So, with those types of downpours, the OSB3 will lose its integrity, and he will have to replace some, if not most OSB3 boards, especially those put in first on the right chateau side ( exposed the longest to excess rain.)
      This issue was a common concern amongst many followers last year. I myself have constantly wondered why he did not place plywood on the 2nd floor/attic floor because the mansard roof structure rests on it. How to replace the OSB3 with stronger floor boards like plywood after he completed the roof structure is a mystery to me.

    It's ridiculous, I know, but this roof just keeps making me cry. For the last year and a half, plus catching up from the beginning, I have never missed an episode. It is impossible not to feel emotionally invested in the progress. Thank you so much Dan, Nick, Brian and everyone else who has helped along the way, for sharing this massive project with the world. You are all loved!

    Can everyone please give this guy I like and subscribe? Dan and the other guys work so hard on this project and only a fraction of the people are subscribed. He makes his money by RUclips and without people being subscribed it takes away from what he could potentially do to improve further.
