I have been a carpenter my whole life I am 66 years old I have never seen anything like that in my life that is beautiful work you are definitely craftsman
I was a little alarmed at first too. I have a high respect for the French and their ability to protest with efficiency and style! But alas, they were just as delighted as everyone else!
I have been here since day 1 when our favorite chateau gardener and man of many talents started this insane project. 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. 👍 BRAVO!
My husband showed me Dan's first video and I scoffed as I watched and bet that he'd give up in a month. I'm so glad I was wrong. I've been watching since day one and I am amazed at how much he has accomplished!
It is phenomenal!!!! Such a privilege to be allowed to be a part of this journey, thank you so much. Yep that roof is crazy high up. Love the video's I hope you don't get tired of doing them for us they must be a pain and interfere with your work. Thank you so much. The chateau is even looking happier now. Have a great weekend. See you Monday Pauline and Terry NZ
Hi guys. I'm an avid addicted fan right from Stephanie's journey...& live in NZ too. It's such a magical journey.😁...& globally wonderful for all of our mental health. Just encourages me daily to finish off my renovations. 🙏❤
It truly looks magnificent! Remember how many people were naysayers and said, “It’s impossible!” Or “WTF were you thinking throwing money into a hurricane”! 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!! Hip hip hooray for stubborn Chatelaines! Sending lots of love and positive vibes from across the ocean in the US State of Montana! ✨💖✨
Yes, I was a naysayers when Dan was working alone. However, he now has magnificent help, that includes, the dogs to keep them all grounded. A proper job! Dan is the Man! 😊😊
This is better than any reality show. This authentic, real people who come together work their magic to restore this beautiful structure with such a fabulous history. Bravo Gentlemen! Bravo!
@@Chris3141592 your right. I rather watch something that in various stages of restoration rather than destruction, the fire did enough of that already. We must agree that this project is coming along very well!
I have watched Dan since he was the gardener and how he renovated his own house. When he bought this place I knew he had a dream and thought this would take years but watching this tumble down building in it's sad state now coming back to life is amazing.
Thanks for saying this. France is a wonderful country (as further illustrated by your fantastic hosting of the Paris Olympics). I’m so happy a group of Guys from England and Ireland are helping to preserve such a wonderful building with an amazing history for everyone ❤️
Just wanted to say - you sir, inspired me! We have a small cottage in the US, in Michigan that was completely rotten in all the support beams. After watching your vids I told myself "Hell - if Dan can rebuild an entire Chateau with no formal training, I can do this!". The main supports and half of the house are now done. You are truly an inspiration!!! Thanks for this channel!!
My twisted mind saw the townies arriving with flaming torches to kill the monster and burn the place down! The chateau is magnificent! Said it before and no doubt will be saying again and again. You and your tiny team have been like an full-on army getting it all together. Such a collaborative effort all doing such hard work and with a lot of good humor spread through-out. It's been a joy to watch! And many congratulations on this epic recent accomplishment!
I've only been here a few months (thanks to a commenter on a Colin Furze vid saying this was the biggest diy project on RUclips) but am still in awe of the progress made.
The dog was soooo happy to have guest at the château, that was so cute to watch his happiness. The dogs always add an element of joy to every videos. I’m glad to see that the community is enchanted to see the progress. Indeed this is an awesome undertaking… bravo 😊
I wondered about that too. He did show the people and they were so excited. Notoriety comes at a price. Could just be the way it was edited. Be grateful for the support.
Why isn't everyone hitting the "Like" & subscribing to Dan's vlog? I am another of his fans that has followed Dan since his 1st vlog with him walking around the chateau property. He has such a great personality & hard worker with a dream that is just unbelievable. So much has been done & so much more to come...Hello 👋🏻 from Alhambra Southern California 🌴
Amazes me the height it was originally and makes me wonder how many men it took to raise this building. Flash to the now with modern day equipment saves the back and getting so much accomplished Proud of the work you, nick and Brian are doing to restore this wonderful building
Dan I have followed you before you purchased the chateau I thought you did an amazing job on the old bakery. When you started this I thought what the hell is he thinking I now can't believe the progress I'm so glad you have Nick and Brian helping you. It is looking incredible you guys are amazing.
What a vlog! Wonderful camera work, so many different camers positions. Great shots of all the prep and sawing and passing it all up. Great use of timelapse. Lovely sky shots and dog shots. Great roof shot at the end. All the wonderful sounds, including conversation. Such efficiency all round. Other vloggers should take note!! Well done all. Marvellous!
Precision building, human wood lifting team ,the arch looks like it belongs to a building now. Amazing shout of praise is going up all over the world today 👏
Alot of people showed up to see the beautiful work you guys are doing! Dan, Brian and Nick you guys are amazing to watch. You are restoring a piece of history, that will remain for many years to come. So many people are interested in seeing this work in progress. The final restoration will be magnificent.
I have to admit that when you first brought the chateau, I was extremely skeptical, but you have proven me wrong. It's amazing to see it back to the way it was. The roof had to be tricky, but you did it. It's wonderful that it won't be damaged any further by the weather. Congratulations to you and all who helped you.
Mate - you guys work so well together, like a well oiled machine. Dan, I went back and watched a couple of your early videos back at the house and the change in you is astonishing. From a slightly tentative bloke working out how to renovate a little old farm building to the accomplished seemingly clear sighted rebuilder of a huge chateau coping with huge challenges and enormity of scale. Dan et ses amis sont formidable! . (I’m expecting to be following the chateau’s resurrection for a few years yet …. )
Its so wonderful for you Dan that so many people came out to see the progress that you, Nick, Cameron, Calvin, and Brian have accomplished so far. You've busted your bums in the rain, snow, and freezing weather to get to the top of your Chateau. You should be proud, we your fans and subscribers are!🥂Happy Friday and I hope you have a wonderful weekend with your boys, Jack and Thomas. 💖
What an amazing looking structure in less than 2 weeks. Bravo!! Can’t wait until the cladding goes on to see the whole back structure completely change. Loved the new camera attached to the lumber.
Love the beams relay: teamwork! Also the beam-cam. Love the way you dream up new angles; so creative! Wishing all you hard-working dudes a good weekend!
Passing wood up the chateau from room to room as the great voids disappear. Great thinking ahead to leave gaps in the floors to pass up materials. These gaps, the spacing in the temporary staircase for the cable lift and the exterior lift have shown the thought as well as the brawn and skill needed by Dan and co to get to this stage. The next stages look even more challenging. Can't wait!!!!
I have to say, you never cease to amaze me on your progress. Nick looked like he was pulling on his drawers with that harness. Got a big chuckle out of that bit.
I don’t know how Dan the man does this fantastic camera work while doing this back breaking work which takes amazing skills, imagination and mathematical know how and then creates a film for us to watch five to six time a week during the evening. It blows my mind that someone has the fortitude to do this. I’ve been watching Dan film from the very beginning and he has been working at this crazy pace since then. Much love to all you hard working guys working on this project from Georgia USA ❤
It's so refreshing to see a great positive channel like yours. Your workmanship is incredible and your making a lot of people happy in the process. God bless.
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!🤙 🙏❤
You really are a great team. It is wonderful to watch and remember all those years ago when I had that much energy. Looking forward to years of pleasure watching your progress.
Wow this Chateau roof framing is really looking great! Once the OSB is installed and the membrane this part will be water tight. Good job Dan, Nick and Brian!
@@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.
Impeccable workmanship once again Dan. You guys are a dynamic trio. The chateau is so blessed to have you. Watching you work on it is the highlight of each day.
Completely beautiful to seeing the roof (and the chateau) take shape! So exciting to see it come back to life! As well, the editing is just crisp these days! Well done!!
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!
It's not ridiculous. It's the only show I absolutely always look for every weekday. Maybe a small part of us all wish we could do something like that in our own lives.
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.
M@@lesliea.benedictjonsson5346Mansard roof will be slate ,intricate cuts and tile far too heavy for near vertical surfaces ,will expect an external roofing company to lay as french anticuties hot on external finishes.
Watching the inch by inch progress you have made day by day has brought me great joy. I'm always looking forward to the next episode. Your team is magnificent !!!
Wow - it was worth the wait so I understand why we didn't get this video last night. It is amazing how this changes the look of the building. Great work!!!
Awesome job Dan, Brian and Nick. Looks incredible. You are smashing it out. So quick. The amount of effort and energy isn’t lost on us. Can’t wait until next week to see it clad. Keep safe. As this wee undertaking feels super tricky. Sooo glad Nick will be there to keep you all harnessed up.
The admiration I have for Dan and crew is limitless. Starting from a real pile of cr.p, to this, and how he has nonstop brought it it back is an inspiration to me in my retirement and my own projects. Blessings and I pray yo all stay safe and dont do anything stupid.
I love that the locals are excited as well to see the progress you are making on the chateau. It truly is amazing to see how far it has come since you started Dan. Just be careful you three at the height you are working at. Have a great weekend of rest, and I will look forward to Monday.
WOW she is a Beautiful building and so grand .l am so excited for yoi dan. We are all happy you saw passed the ruin and she is looking SPECTACULAR Beautiful 😊
I have been a carpenter my whole life I am 66 years old I have never seen anything like that in my life that is beautiful work you are definitely craftsman
I thought at the start the villagers were coming for you with torches and pitchforks. Turns out they are in awe of your work too.❤️
Beat me to it.😂 LOL
@@nighttrain1450 I wondered what was going on? He is going to have to post a guard at some point to keep the fans and gawkers at bay 😍
I was a little alarmed at first too. I have a high respect for the French and their ability to protest with efficiency and style! But alas, they were just as delighted as everyone else!
😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
i love the idea of villagers coming with pitchforks but politely exchanging bonjours with dan
I have been here since day 1 when our favorite chateau gardener and man of many talents started this insane project.
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. 👍
BRAVO!
I've been watching since he started too and I admit I was VERY SKEPTICAL.
My husband showed me Dan's first video and I scoffed as I watched and bet that he'd give up in a month. I'm so glad I was wrong. I've been watching since day one and I am amazed at how much he has accomplished!
Well said!
I just didn't think it'd become anything like it has, the work he's put in honestly I feel is amazing
I've been here three days before he even thought of buying the place 😬
It is phenomenal!!!! Such a privilege to be allowed to be a part of this journey, thank you so much. Yep that roof is crazy high up. Love the video's I hope you don't get tired of doing them for us they must be a pain and interfere with your work. Thank you so much. The chateau is even looking happier now. Have a great weekend.

But! Please don't let Steph. Decorate for you. Her taste is horrible.
So much for watch dogs, half the town arrives and the girlies are thrilled! The rear facade looks magnificent!
The girls are just happy to greet their adoring masses! 😁😂🥰
If they had been sheep, it would be a different story. They never would have been allowed to leave! LOL Herding dogs don't make the best watchdogs.
😂 exactly what I was thinking... then on to the "Goood Morning!" look on Dan's face... priceless.
Great door bells, rubbish guard dogs. Just like my floofer
Ugh dogs
This is better than any reality show. This authentic, real people who come together work their magic to restore this beautiful structure with such a fabulous history. Bravo Gentlemen! Bravo!

@@Chris3141592 your right. I rather watch something that in various stages of restoration rather than destruction, the fire did enough of that already. We must agree that this project is coming along very well!
And some high anxiety suspenseful stunts too! Almost better than a circus act!
@@margaretjacobs4016 LOL yes!
Plus, "reality shows" are fake - staged productions, even the home buying ones - all scripted, planned months ahead. The house buying is even faked.
Dan , you and the boy’s should be so proud! All of France, and the world are watching this magnifacant Lady come back to life ! God bless you all !😊
He is resurrecting the heritage of France.
And if I know Dan it will indeed be beautiful again.
I have watched Dan since he was the gardener and how he renovated his own house. When he bought this place I knew he had a dream and thought this would take years but watching this tumble down building in it's sad state now coming back to life is amazing.
Dan you should receive an award for bringing this piece of historic France back to life.
bravi❤ restaurare e riporyare in vita un manufatto antico e' un'opera meritoria .
Merci Dan d’aimer notre pays au point de donner une chance à ce château, de vivre une autre vie. Vraiment fière de ce que vous et vos amis réalisent.

Yes. You got it.
Artist chef too.

Unbelievable. The miracle happened. Another roof is almost ready. Majestic workers! I am 74 and am in love with all of you. God bless you!
BRAVO 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. CONGRATULATIONS you guys are the best Chateau rebuilders EVER!
The dog was soooo happy to have guest at the château, that was so cute to watch his happiness.
The dogs always add an element of joy to every videos.
I’m glad to see that the community is enchanted to see the progress.
Indeed this is an awesome undertaking… bravo 😊
How many dogs did you keep?
Dogs definitely don't add joy to videos. Most don't like them
The opening looked like a scene from Les Mis for a bit, glad it turned out all friendly like.

It was obviously an arranged visit. Dan, Nick and Brian were ready to meet and greet them at the barricade.
I almost cried. I can only imagine how you feel, Dan (and the lads).
Me too had tears in my eyes
Certainly makes eyes well up; I imagine thousands found it similarly emotional.
Me, too. I'm in awe and I just know this place is magical.
Me as well. The slow drone zoom out of the mansard frame was pure emotion.
Dan.. your face after meeting local rambling association was priceless 😂 great effort again this week. You should be rightly proud 😊😊

The pace you guys are progressing at is so SO much faster than the early days!! Keep up the great work!!
It used to be a LOT of digging out the rubble, which seemed slower, but I do agree with you
Having the guys helping Dan is making it look so easy but I know it is hard work. Thank you to all of you helping Dan. (Nick is an amazing man!)
Love watching you guys , I'm a draftsman but I never really got to watch such a beautiful roofline being built fantastic job

That roof is a thing of beauty! Total awesomeness. Can hardly wait for Monday. Have a great weekend. See ya Monday👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

I have been following Dan and his coworkers since day one. It has been truly amazing how this place has changed. Very proud of you guys.
Hey Dan and Team, The new Roof looks Beautiful. It will be great to see the ornaments on top of the Roof. Keep up the Good work.
Wow!! Such great work you all are doing!! It’s coming along good!! That hard work is paying off!!! Lots of love from Tennessee!!!
How often in the early days did you stop and think, no I can't do this!? Its looking amazing and a testament to pure dedication and stubborness lol 😂😀
I think he took a loan and plonk his life savings in a ruined chateau... so.. failure is not an option. literally make or break him.
Never
Wow - it was worth the wait so I understand why we didn't get this video last night. It is amazing how this changes the look of the building. Great work!!!
Awesome job Dan, Brian and Nick. Looks incredible. You are smashing it out. So quick.
The amount of effort and energy isn’t lost on us.
Can’t wait until next week to see it clad. Keep safe. As this wee undertaking feels super tricky. Sooo glad Nick will be there to keep you all harnessed up.
I'm watching the video before going to bed. What a positive way to end the day. Good luck, Dan, Nick, and Brian. Just wow.
Stunning! What a job so far!!! You and your crew are amazing. The town folk must be tickled pink.
I love the way this restoration is coming out.
The admiration I have for Dan and crew is limitless. Starting from a real pile of cr.p, to this, and how he has nonstop brought it it back is an inspiration to me in my retirement and my own projects. Blessings and I pray yo all stay safe and dont do anything stupid.
I love that the locals are excited as well to see the progress you are making on the chateau. It truly is amazing to see how far it has come since you started Dan. Just be careful you three at the height you are working at. Have a great weekend of rest, and I will look forward to Monday.

Dan the man, you’re an absolute hero! Can’t express how much admiration I have for you. Thanks for all the inspiration you provide quasi daily
Your photography is really fascinating. You manage to make sticking a nail into a piece of wood a thing of beauty 😊❤
