That last shot of the kitties in the windows was gold!!! Love the explanation that they are on opposite ends of the chateau and have never met. I think that would make for an interesting children's book.
Kinda looked stressed because she doesn't remember signing a waiver to be filmed😂! I can think of lots of captions for that shot of her! I see that you are outside but I don't see any cat food in your hands😢! ❤
It’s mainly all about the process of getting there though isn’t it? There always SOME satisfaction to be had from a day like these, which can’t be said as often about working for someone else…
Love your humor and Lincoln's gentleman manners! Great progress on all your projects! So fun to watch!!!!! Donkeys always steal the show....so cute!! See you next time and hope for 40,000 subscribers soon!!
Right. When he's through explaining quantum physics to you maybe he can try explaining it to me??!! As for all the work - seems like just the proper rate of progress to me, after all - whose timetable are you following? That's right, your own. So. Love the donkeys and cats. Love the comfortable place you have made. Cheers
You should have told the farmers to take the other tree down that's almost over. I'm sure they would be happy to help and get the wood. I love your little place and all the stuff. The location is perfect.
I still cannot figure out why my husband does not like the updates i give him after watching your videos… he was uninterested in Lincoln’s birthday 🎉…..the cottage looks gorgeous, great bones- cant wait for the finished product… i love the stair case and the fire places… hoping line wash on the walls in a natural color!…. A beautiful spring- yet its joyful ❤❤❤
Don’t be so hard on yourself. As you said, it is a labor of love. You should feel a great sense of accomplishment on all that you have done inside. Thanks for the kitty pictures. Can’t get enough of them. So cute! Take care. Your neighbors who cleared the tree sound like really decent people. I know you appreciate them.
I love the huge bag for debris! You guys work so hard, I get it. We do the same at our place, but we do not have a chateau and 40 acres haha. We have 8, but we love it. Something about the peace and tranquility. I love the donkeys! They are so cute, quiet too! We have a neighbor a few doors down and I can hear theirs, it's so funny. Your garden bed is going to be beautiful! I'm going to do ours the same way as you are, cardboard, dirt, compost. One of the stores here had 50% off bulbs......yeah, I think I over bought, but who doesn't love flowers? Amanda you have a wonderful sense of humor, and Lincoln is so calm. You are both doing a great job! It's beautiful! Thanks for taking us along on your journey!❤
LMAO, Amanda, you got us good about Lincoln's new tractor. I literally roared out loud laughing. Those farmers don't waste any time. It was so nice of them to clean up that tree and leave you some wood and grade your driveway. What a difference in the weather from the previous video. It has been warm and spring like here, but now it is snowing. You guys must be tired. That was a lot of work. Dominic is such a big personality. I learned the no dig gardening method from Sarah Backmo. She is a gardener in Sweden. Unfortunately, I can only manage container gardening these days. Take care both.❤
The work is never done, it is the nature of the beast. It is a joy and at the same time a burden, but the joy usually out weighs the physical labor required to keep the place looking good. So pace yourself, it will never be done, but the journey will be glorious. I love to walk the land and see each day what nature has done while I was not looking. The Bumblebee at the flowers, one of my favorite sights to see in springtime. Soon they will be enjoying the blooms of my Texas Mountain Laurel, that has beautiful purple flower sprays that smell like grape kool-aid. (I kid you not) The Bumbles love it! Enjoy the fun and thank you for sharing.
It's warm here today but I know it's a ruse to trick me into working outside. Michigan - so our last frost date is May. I am loving the gardening clips. Lincoln is a great guy. What workers you two are!
I love watching the 2 of you. Sooo the cottage Reno started so you would have a place to cook when renovating the chateau kitchen? So much to do. Love your sense of humor. Hugs from deep in the heart of Texas.❤
I love that you know who you both are and that you have a love for each piece that make up your lives. Yourselves, your daughters, your home with all the different ways to express your creativity and move your bodies. It is not drudgery but love. Also, the cat to the right, that would be a gallery worthy print. I love the cats and their stories. Donkey stories too!
I am sure it doesn’t seem that way in real life, but you give your videos a beautiful, timeless feeling. The fact that your mic is dead reminded me: why don’t homes in France have window screens. How do you cope with things like bugs, birds, and bats?
I just adore you two, of course you took on a huge project, but you are youngish and will have a thrilling time for years ahead. Carry on. One little suggestion, having remodeled a whole house myself, if you manage the cleanup of your day's work consistently, you will to be overwhelmed.
Wow, Lincoln did a lot of work on the cottage this week! Git er done! The donkeys are good. They obviously don't mind being in the rain. Hard to believe a cat can be so stressed out in a private home with all the room you have, but I guess it can be stressed just being around other cats. You have some nice neighbors to help you with that huge limb in the driveway. Your comments are so funny!
Oh I love your channel, I I look forward to the next one... Feel so at home with your banter, normal daily chores and sense of humor. So we'll done, keep going as hard at it may seem some days you can you will and will get there eventually. Can't wait for the garden to come along and see what you do this year, such progress you both work with such vigour it stimulates us to do the same off camera!
You have such wonderful neighbours. Our reno garden was a failure last year as well. The three hail storms that ripped it to shreds didn't help. I think we might try a Terrarium! M&R
Do you have any historical documents about how the garden was used? Old designs or planting lists? It would be so amazing to know that about your own home and a,along walled garden! How many people did the original gardens have to feed? Do you have any info on that kind of history for the chateau? So many questions!
I just started watching your channel from episode 1 onwards and I am absolutely loving it. I saw the episode where you paint the gates to your garden "NO DIG Magic: Our Chateau Walled Garden Oasis". I have a garden fence I would like to paint a similar color and I would like to ask how would you describe the color you used? Best wishes and good luck with your spring projects🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
I watch the channel for the donkeys❤. Just kidding, the donkeys are adorable and the cats but I really like the channel as well. OMG I just had a deja vu with the comment.
Lists write lists and tick them off as you complete them. Everyday try to achieve as much as you can. And enjoy the journey. The only pressure is what we place on ourselves. It’s not a race. Just do what you can everyday. And if you don’t want to work for a couple of days so what. If you take time to rest and think. You will come back with renewed vigour. The list you have may be overwhelming. if you expect to get it done very quickly and all at once it will overwhelm you. Just do one thing at a time slowly slowly catchy monkey. And feel good about your achievements. Pat yourself on the back. If it was someone else you would probably be kinder to them than you are to yourself.
That said ...here are my favorite & very effective chill pills (most double as sleep aides, so one must consult a Naturopath, or experiment with what works & how much without putting one under ...to sleep that is): Chelated Magnesium, L-Tyrosine, Passion Flower, Holy Basil, Gaba, and yes even Melatonin (I use Melatonin three hours before bedtime before it affects me but that could be much less time for others & it helps me relax in the evening & worries melt away). I can take Magnesium & Tyrosine during the day without getting sleepy, but that may be different for others. The rest I use several hours before bedtime ...alternating their use & not all at the same time.
Always enjoy the updates! Try not to feel too stressed out. You have accomplished so much since I first started watching your videos. You have a large property and lots of renovations to keep you busy. Doesn't matter if you don't finish tomorrow or the next day or next week or next year, just enjoy the experience. Keep up the good work and just trust in the process. Whenever I start a new project I just do what I can each day and am grateful that I still have the energy and physical ability to do things. In the end it is all so satisfying to look back on. I do a large garden myself every year and while it is quite a bit of work and upkeep I do love just sitting in my finished garden and enjoying nature at the end of the day.
You are working plenty hard…I see great progress. Sometimes we forget that just maintaining is a lot. Your plates are full…but everything on those plates is worthwhile. 😊
I think you should use the powder & fine plaster crumbs in the driveways low spots, after going through it with a magnet for nails and other sharp stuff
I've been renovating a home for two years. It's infitismal compared to your projects. Yet I always think, you still have to clean what you have already renovated, you still have meals to make, then clean up, you still have children to raise, pet's to feed and love. You're both spread thin, but you are doing it together and your sense of humor will see you through. You both amaze me.
Lincoln....you have done an unbelievable job on that cottage with the clearing of all of that debris...well done! You two hav done so much and are doing so well! Those gardens are really coming along....well done Amanda!! Everything you both do is so well thought out and done well. Just love those donkeys....
I Think Lincoln's new tractor should become a hood ornament on his old tractor so he can visualize a future tractor every time he uses his old tractor. Can you track that?? Love your videos.
I must tell you, I look forward to Sundays when your videos come out. I laugh at your comments, I laugh at your expressions and it feels so good to laugh. Thank you and Lincoln for sharing your trials and tribulations with everyone. I know you make my day. And I also love all your animals. I too am an animal lover. I think I like animals more than people. Thanks so much again.
Thank you for the Donkey crunch!!!! Love that sound!!! They are so darn cute! Cute shots of the cats.....poor Maple. Love your approach to gardening! You've made me smile again! Thank you!
Well done Amanda with creating that new garden bed. I myself am working on a new veggie garden bed and 2 new cut flower garden beds. Lincoln, please, please do not work so hard. Please be careful carrying/pulling that heavy white bag with the debris from the cottage, you can hurt your back. I really think that Lincoln is working way too hard in the cottage. Please be careful guys. Please do not hurt yourselves. Anyway that you can ask the farmers to help you move the debris from the cottage with their heavy equipment.? It's just so much work for you and Lincoln alone. I just love Dominic and Uvea. Dominic loves his carrots.😊😊
I’ve been watching for some time and really enjoy your humor and “cinematography”. I’m in Atlanta and am somewhat envious of the chateau life. Although, realistically, just a nice house in France would be more up my alley. My mother-in-law lives in Vichy and doesn’t seem eager to return to the US. We hope to visit her soon. Good luck to you and your renovation progress. Your animals are adorable.
You are both so hard working, and Lincoln seems to be super organized. Remember to take a break and do something to relieve your stress. Happy to the farmer neighbors helping with the fallen tree. They get free wood and you the tree removed. I say that's a win win.👏👏
I need a chill - pill too ! As soon as you find out where to get one, can you please, hook me up ? : ) I think we all can use one. Always enjoy your posts, sincerely in San Diego Calif.
I’m not sure if I can express how much I love your videos. I watch lots of RUclips and several chateau shows, but yours are my favorites. From the videography to your wit to your gardening… I’m hooked. (Knowing you’re from SF - my favorite place - doesn’t hurt either!)
We can only balance renovation between outdoors/ indoors with contending with the weather and with normal every day life. (Taking deep breathes a long the way)The renovations will get done in your own busy time. You are both doing a great job.😊❤
I’m late to the party watching your posts. I don’t know much about your story. But I’m learning. Try to look on the bright side - YOU ARE IN FRANCE! You have a plan and you have each other❤️ What a wonderful adventure. 😅
You two have gotten so much done inside and out over the past couple of years! It is always more overwhelming in the springtime with more to do. But make sure you stop and smell the flowers and enjoy your French lifestyle. 😊 I always love seeing the donkeys and cats. They are so cute and funny! The cats on opposite sides of the chateau! 😂
I have 3 stressed cats who I keep separated...not what I thought I would ever be doing in life🤣 Your garden is coming along..can't wait to see what you plant.
I love you're sense of humor my life is pretty turbulent lol and now with 71 we are looking to move from IL to Missouri with our daughter and family about 30 goats chicken rabbit s etc long story just hope we do half as well than you do 🎉 originally I am from Germany all the best hugs ❤😊❤😊
I’m improving my French on Duolingo, it’s not easy, we’re touring about in a few months, Normandy, Brittany, Loire and 2 days not sure where yet. Anyway veg gardening is like a full time job on its own imo.
Apart from the farmer cutting the fallen tree You are doing all the renovation yourselves and it is just amazing It is incredibly hard work and yet there is so much poetry and softness in all you share You make me smile and feel that life keeps so much excitement in store Thank you ❤️
You have some wonderful farmer neighbors. They made fast work of cleaning up that huge tree, that was a lot of work! Those are wonderful neighbors to have. It is still so cold, and very wet, where I am. I’m looking forward to spring and working in my garden. 🌷Love your videos Amanda!

Great 💡
It would be a cute kids book!!!❤❤❤ty for the video ❤❤
What a fabulous idea!
Maples stress face still shot! Hilarious!
Kinda looked stressed because she doesn't remember signing a waiver to be filmed😂! I can think of lots of captions for that shot of her! I see that you are outside but I don't see any cat food in your hands😢! ❤
Your very fortunate that your neighbors are extremely kind to you. Here at home begging for someone to fix the generator is like pulling teeth!
Yes, we are very grateful
@@OurFrenchChateau Maybe some muffins or scones can perhaps come in handy❤?
its a fundamental flaw in life that by the time we can afford the spacious home we want we no longer have the energy to enjoy it
😂
It’s mainly all about the process of getting there though isn’t it? There always SOME satisfaction to be had from a day like these, which can’t be said as often about working for someone else…
Lincoln seems to have good ladder legs now (analogy with “sea legs”). As contrasted with that very early accident, I mean.
Amen 😂
Amen!!@@joannarainbow1852
Love your humor and Lincoln's gentleman manners! Great progress on all your projects! So fun to watch!!!!! Donkeys always steal the show....so cute!! See you next time and hope for 40,000 subscribers soon!!
I cam see the 2 of you out there working in your 80's....Lincoln still walking slowly and getting things done. You...surround ded by adoring cats!😊
That was a massive tree thank goodness you’ve had help. You can’t do everything take your time it’ll get done One Day 🤣🤣
Right. When he's through explaining quantum physics to you maybe he can try explaining it to me??!! As for all the work - seems like just the proper rate of progress to me, after all - whose timetable are you following? That's right, your own. So. Love the donkeys and cats.

Your videos are a delectable piece of Bon Bon amongst the vegetarian cuisine of my life.
😂…cracked up at your take on the mike being dead. Love your dry humour!
Maple's expression is priceless 🤣!!! SERIOUSLY, I can relate!!!
Please don't stress out - from our perspective, you guys are doing amazingly well - beautiful results and if you love it, who cares how long it takes?
Lincoln is a machine!
I still cannot figure out why my husband does not like the updates i give him after watching your videos… he was uninterested in Lincoln’s birthday 🎉…..the cottage looks gorgeous, great bones- cant wait for the finished product… i love the stair case and the fire places… hoping line wash on the walls in a natural color!…. A beautiful spring- yet its joyful ❤❤❤
Y’all make me tired and sore just watching. 😂
Don’t be so hard on yourself. As you said, it is a labor of love. You should feel a great sense of accomplishment on all that you have done inside. Thanks for the kitty pictures. Can’t get enough of them. So cute! Take care. Your neighbors who cleared the tree sound like really decent people. I know you appreciate them.

Can you take in some help and give room and board like Chateau Diaries?
The staggering amount of physical labor you guys do is impressive! I don’t know how you do it. Thanks for another great video.
LMAO, Amanda, you got us good about Lincoln's new tractor. I literally roared out loud laughing.

Always makes me laugh xx
Your doing an amazing job
I really admire you both very much for keeping up your hard work and dedication!
I can hardly wait to watch "your garden grow"...no doubt it will be a spectacular collection of fruits, vegetables & flowers! ❤
The donkeys - maple and olive - how adorable
I am sure it doesn’t seem that way in real life, but you give your videos a beautiful, timeless feeling. The fact that your mic is dead reminded me: why don’t homes in France have window screens. How do you cope with things like bugs, birds, and bats?
It's a work in progress so don't stress out too much.
Bonjour de correze j aime beaucoup ce que vous faites et j aime votre humour c est très agréable à regarder bon courage à bientôt
I just adore you two, of course you took on a huge project, but you are youngish and will have a thrilling time for years ahead. Carry on. One little suggestion, having remodeled a whole house myself, if you manage the cleanup of your day's work consistently, you will to be overwhelmed.

You have such wonderful neighbours. Our reno garden was a failure last year as well. The three hail storms that ripped it to shreds didn't help. I think we might try a Terrarium! M&R
Amanda love how your red boots match your jacket a true french fashion girl!! 🧒
Love the pots. Garden is going to look awesome.. ahh and the kitties..
God bless your husband ! : )
I have to admire your fortitude. I'm currently trying (with some success) to get my wife to retire early so we can move to Brittany. Good luck, Guys.
You two are incredibly hardworking!
You know you live in a large house when your animals don’t have to meet if they don’t want to 😜
Do you have any historical documents about how the garden was used? Old designs or planting lists? It would be so amazing to know that about your own home and a,along walled garden!
How many people did the original gardens have to feed? Do you have any info on that kind of history for the chateau? So many questions!
I know his name is Lincoln. I don't know what your name is but I do like your dry sense of humor...A Subscriber
My favorite channel, Love your senses of humor.
You guys work so hard .. I appreciate watching from Virginia & just love & look forward to your dialogue..
I just started watching your channel from episode 1 onwards and I am absolutely loving it. I saw the episode where you paint the gates to your garden "NO DIG Magic: Our Chateau Walled Garden Oasis". I have a garden fence I would like to paint a similar color and I would like to ask how would you describe the color you used? Best wishes and good luck with your spring projects🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
You should really get some help in from time to time ❤
For learn French, look moovie in French with english subtittle all day😊😊😊sorry for my error 😊
Yes, we do that :) It helps!
Are you sure that le noise come from the farmer and not from someone doing a surgery ?
The donkeys stand out in the rain cause they're taking a 'shower'.
I watch the channel for the donkeys❤. Just kidding, the donkeys are adorable and the cats but I really like the channel as well. OMG I just had a deja vu with the comment.

Did you buy the chateau from the farmer's family? What do they think of two Americans living there?
Did you think of renting a dumpster to eliminate so much gravas?
Lincoln is a machine! You guys are doing great, no chill pill needed….and you’ve got content for years to come!
That said ...here are my favorite & very effective chill pills (most double as sleep aides, so one must consult a Naturopath, or experiment with what works & how much without putting one under ...to sleep that is): Chelated Magnesium, L-Tyrosine, Passion Flower, Holy Basil, Gaba, and yes even Melatonin (I use Melatonin three hours before bedtime before it affects me but that could be much less time for others & it helps me relax in the evening & worries melt away).

You are working plenty hard…I see great progress. Sometimes we forget that just maintaining is a lot. Your plates are full…but everything on those plates is worthwhile. 😊
The amount of debris in the cottage is staggering. Well done, Lincoln! Amanda, I’m looking forward to seeing your garden plan!
Thanks :)
I think you should use the powder & fine plaster crumbs in the driveways low spots, after going through it with a magnet for nails and other sharp stuff
I've been renovating a home for two years. It's infitismal compared to your projects. Yet I always think, you still have to clean what you have already renovated, you still have meals to make, then clean up, you still have children to raise, pet's to feed and love. You're both spread thin, but you are doing it together and your sense of humor will see you through. You both amaze me.
I agree - you’re amazing
And only God knows what health issues they may be having...❤
Lincoln....you have done an unbelievable job on that cottage with the clearing of all of that debris...well done! You two hav done so much and are doing so well! Those gardens are really coming along....well done Amanda!! Everything you both do is so well thought out and done well. Just love those donkeys....
You both are so incredibly talented, hard working and hilarious. Thank you for your witty and entertaining content. Love your videos. Bon courage!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The fact is you need a whole army to take care of this place
😄OMG……cracking up over Lincoln’s new tractor!! 😂
Nice, right?
They say it's the thought that counts…
Hoorah for the farmers and their tree cutting skills!!! Looks good.
I Think Lincoln's new tractor should become a hood ornament on his old tractor so he can visualize a future tractor every time he uses his old tractor. Can you track that?? Love your videos.
This is brilliant!
THANK YOU FOR update FROM Catchateau!
🐈
Love your videos. You have a perfect blend of different content. None are focused on just one thing. You have a beautiful home and property!
I must tell you, I look forward to Sundays when your videos come out. I laugh at your comments, I laugh at your expressions and it feels so good to laugh. Thank you and Lincoln for sharing your trials and tribulations with everyone. I know you make my day. And I also love all your animals. I too am an animal lover. I think I like animals more than people. Thanks so much again.
The cottage project continues to move right along. Will you have patio space in the vicinity? The light on the cottage is beautiful already!
I love the precise estimate on how long it would have taken you to remove the tree from the back drive without the farmer’s help ❤
The last shot of Maple as golden, 😂😂. Well done on everything you guys achieve. I’m jealous of your garden area. 😊
I’m continually in awe of all you accomplish, however what I love the most, is your acerbic sense of humour. Thankyou for always making me smile😁
Thank you for the Donkey crunch!!!! Love that sound!!! They are so darn cute! Cute shots of the cats.....poor Maple. Love your approach to gardening! You've made me smile again! Thank you!
Me too!
Well good day Amanda and Lincoln ! The weather appears to be improving. Hope all is well.
How about getting a chute so you can send the stuff from upstairs down the chute and into the trailer?
Well done Amanda with creating that new garden bed. I myself am working on a new veggie garden bed and 2 new cut flower garden beds. Lincoln, please, please do not work so hard. Please be careful carrying/pulling that heavy white bag with the debris from the cottage, you can hurt your back. I really think that Lincoln is working way too hard in the cottage. Please be careful guys. Please do not hurt yourselves. Anyway that you can ask the farmers to help you move the debris from the cottage with their heavy equipment.? It's just so much work for you and Lincoln alone. I just love Dominic and Uvea. Dominic loves his carrots.😊😊
I’ve been watching for some time and really enjoy your humor and “cinematography”. I’m in Atlanta and am somewhat envious of the chateau life. Although, realistically, just a nice house in France would be more up my alley. My mother-in-law lives in Vichy and doesn’t seem eager to return to the US. We hope to visit her soon. Good luck to you and your renovation progress. Your animals are adorable.
You make the most fantastic videos. Love the animals! God Bless You!
If only you could hitch the donkeys to the wagon 😂
You are both so hard working, and Lincoln seems to be super organized. Remember to take a break and do something to relieve your stress. Happy to the farmer neighbors helping with the fallen tree. They get free wood and you the tree removed. I say that's a win win.👏👏

What a wonderful adventure. 😅
Amazing job, Lincoln and Amanda, so much hard work but eventually when it’s done, it will be so beautiful. Love you vlog❤
You two have gotten so much done inside and out over the past couple of years! It is always more overwhelming in the springtime with more to do. But make sure you stop and smell the flowers and enjoy your French lifestyle. 😊 I always love seeing the donkeys and cats. They are so cute and funny! The cats on opposite sides of the chateau! 😂
Wow, that THUMBNAIL photo! Your vlogs are standouts! Love you both. Amanda... a recipe or two occasionally?
Yes, at some point we’ll show some cooking :)
Is it just me or is there something really satisfying about listening to the donkeys crunching on carrots?😁
Poor Maple. Such a hard life living in the château.❤ Thank you
I have 3 stressed cats who I keep separated...not what I thought I would ever be doing in life🤣 Your garden is coming along..can't wait to see what you plant.
I love you're sense of humor my life is pretty turbulent lol and now with 71 we are looking to move from IL to Missouri with our daughter and family about 30 goats chicken rabbit s etc long story just hope we do half as well than you do 🎉 originally I am from Germany all the best hugs ❤😊❤😊
I’m improving my French on Duolingo, it’s not easy, we’re touring about in a few months, Normandy, Brittany, Loire and 2 days not sure where yet.
Anyway veg gardening is like a full time job on its own imo.
Apart from the farmer cutting the fallen tree
You are doing all the renovation yourselves and it is just amazing
It is incredibly hard work and yet there is so much poetry and softness in all you share
You make me smile and feel that life keeps so much excitement in store
Thank you ❤️
grow your own "chill pill" Amanda (wink wink)
You are so committed to doing things environmentally well - have you ever considered having some of your land made into wild flower fields?
You have some wonderful farmer neighbors. They made fast work of cleaning up that huge tree, that was a lot of work! Those are wonderful neighbors to have. It is still so cold, and very wet, where I am. I’m looking forward to spring and working in my garden. 🌷Love your videos Amanda!
