Never lose that spark and motivation you have, Dan! My grandfather always said, "there are 2 kinds of people in this world, those who build and those who destroy". This can be applied to many things going on in the world today. Be a builder! I'm enjoying your journey.
We all support you brave Dan 🤗🌹💪☀️☺️
There are the makers and then there are the takers.
Hmm, I've long thought a big part of life was figuring out the correct level of resistance to apply.
Sometimes you’ve gotta destroy before you can build though….?
How fascinating and rare to have first hand accounts of the building layout from former child residents during the occupation.
During WWII? Who would the children be? Orphans? 🥹. Would it have been co-ed with boys & girls? So many questions.
Is there family history available prior to this?
@@jillianswaine4298 I think he mentioned on a previous video that there were Jewish kids that stayed there during the war, and possibly other orphans as well.
Fascinating and moving!
@@jillianswaine4298 At the end of the videos he mentions boys and girls.
That ending was poignant, beautiful.
Dan man, I don’t know how bits of your chateau are still standing. It was awesome in the true sense of the word to see that tree coming down. Your tree technician has guts. Reminds me of the age old saying:
“How do you eat an elephant?…..one bite at a time”.
Nick is a master at his work! Dan, your videography skills are so calming even when the work is precarious. Ending the video with some history of the chateau wrapped it up beautifully.
Only a legend could be crazy enough to pull that tree down. Long live Nick!
You are so fortunate to have Nick there to cut the trees. He is very skilled at what he does with much confidence. It was amazing to watch. Thank you.😊
The chateau, as a phoenix, rises from the ashes to become a living home once again. The beginning of a new adventure and we will watch. Great job Nick!
I'm always happy when Nick shows up anywhere. He's astute and knows his stuff, just like you, Dan.
Nick's expertise resolves the tree-instead- the-house problem. I'm guess you will have a lot of heavy lifting since you cannot bring the digger close to the tree as you had with the other tree removals at La Lande.
The helmet camera and drone shots really add to our understanding of what it is like for Nick to work at such heights. I am guessing he does not usually rappel off of masonry! I also really appreciate the subtitles, I often miss a lot with Nick's accent.
💯
I have never been so hooked on a renovation as I am with this chateau. Literally cannot wait to see each weeks progress. 😊
So glad you enlisted Nick for that big, possibly dangerous job. Very interesting that you have found someone who knows some of the history and use of the chateau. Good luck! It’s all go now that the big tree is out of the way! ❤️😊
Great filming and editing on this vlog Dan! Nick really is excellent at his profession, so happy you brought him in to do this risky job. Onwards and upwards! 🙏🏻❤️🌳
The arborist's casual competence was great to see.
This is going to become a stellar project.
Thank you for sharing and great good luck!
This was my favorite vlog so far! Well done, Dan, and Nick the Tree Surgeon!
Nothing seems to faze either you or Nick! He is as hopeful and courageous as you, Dan. The filming of Nick made him seem like a movie super hero … perhaps he is!! 🇨🇦
Yes indeed he is a superhero and Dan's filming just brought that out. Wonderful stuff.
This is the introduction that Nick needed! Awesome storytelling through editing!
I get the feeling that every time you drive through the gate, the spirit of the building sighs relief you are there to bring her back to life. ❤️
Thanks Dan; I wished you were wearing a helmet while filming inside; this was a "cliffhanger"....I was on edge watching. Nick is very brave; that tree had certainly taken over the chateau .
Nick the Arborist is literally the coolest man on the planet. 😍
Oh my goodness, Nick the Woodsman saves the day again. I was terrified watching him do that. The sounds of the floor creaking and the tree moving. He is a major league badass!!! I was concerned about how that tree was getting out of there all this time, and I didn't even realize it had a hollow space under the rotten floor. Nick seriously deserves a feather for his cap. Maybe I should send him one, lol. 🧡
Thank goodness Nick is here to get the job done. He is the expert, and can do this in a safe manner. 😊.
Nick sure found his calling - a wizard at his job. I actually feel emotional about your restoration Dan. I want to you to succeed more than any one has ever succeeded at a restoration. I love that you saw this structure, saw it's beauty and the ability to create life in it once again.
Well done Nick for taking down that tree. Dan I am enjoying your approach to tackling this project one bite at a time and for the lessons all about the history and use of this enchanting building. stay safe and enjoy the journey.
Its always a thrill to watch Nick do his magic. Seems like you found a story of one of the kids that stayed there? I got chicken skin hearing it. Hope to hear more as we see the Chateau come to life again.
Wow! Nick is the man! The history of this place housing all those children is incredible. Love it! Thanks Dan for sharing.. This is an incredible project! 💕
Yes. Just think of those that grew to adulthood due to their refuge at the château.
The only thing wrong with your vlogs Dan, is that no matter how long they are, I’m always left wanting more! 😊
Me as well.
As always a superb episode. Beautifully photographed. Nick the tree surgeon is amazing (we have 'adopted' a tree surgeon here in CA--because? well we have a 'jillion' trees to manage, and he is work his weight in gold) and his clearing out of the 'hollow' of the chateau was indeed 'surgical'. Thanks for sharing and for sharing the comments from someone who lived there as a little kid. This is becoming a magical mystery tour (the best kind). Cheers!
Every single one of these episodes touch my heart so deeply. Endless possibilities of hope. I must say that Nick the tree surgeon is fearless and absolutely fierce!
Wow! Wow! Wow! Thank goodness you enlisted Nick, such a fearless expert. After falling down a "So Chateaux" rabbit hole, I actually think you can resurrect this beauty.
I had a feeling that Nick would show up at your chateau! He is so good at his work & I wouldn’t have trusted anyone else. Great job, Nick. Loved you reading the memories of a child that lived there.
Nick always coming in clutch. He’s such a gem of a man!
Brilliant vid Dan, the word pictures you read out from that subscriber who was a former child resident was riveting matched with your drone footage..I could see it all. Congratulations.. an incredible vlog 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It was a subscriber that lived there that gave him the info? That's amazing! It was really cool how he showed the places with the drone as he was reading about it.
Geez and here I thought working on some of Stephanie’s trees was exciting. This is a THRILL! I love seeing Nick the Tree Surgeon in action! ❤️🇨🇦
Wonderful editing Dan and Nik made such a difference today. I love how you share the history of the building with us thank you.
Nick did an amazing job with maintaining and keeping the surrounding stones in standing. I thought it would be impossible to remove the tree without disrupting the whole structure not that it hadn't already been disrupted but this allows one less obstacle to get in the way of putting the chateau back together. What a project.
Something I appreciate so so much about you and Nick is the respect you have for daunting tasks. It’s pretty special to watch you both face fear! A healthy reluctance for certain jobs but you take a deep breath, think it through, and always keep yourself safe. Real life courageous men!
Nick the tree guy is amazing!
Terrific editing, thanks for taking all that trouble. Always so satisfying to watch a tree surgeon at work, I have often been the assistant, so many times the skill just makes you laugh out loud. At 7 minutes I was wondering how long that had been there, hope you get to count the rings soon! Best wishes to you and yours.
I have so much respect for tree workers. It takes a lot of guts to climb a tree growing on top of a rotting floor.
Such an exciting thing to see this tree removed and what it reveals about the home. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing to have such specific accounts of this historical place. Professor Nick The Tree Surgeon is a special person. In an extremely dangerous profession, you can see the tactical approach that has safety and execution at it's best. A true legend.
Your filmmaking skills just keep getting better and better, Dan. This was a joy to watch. I think you’ve found your calling…
Nick is an absolute genius at his craft.
Nick is just so amazing&skilled so impressive. A true master and poet of its art. What a gift, and the transformation. Absolute sublime. Amazing filming&progress. Well done you two. And what a poignant&soulful ending
Great job Nick and Dan! What a risky task. Loved the ending story of one who actually lived in the chateau and survived a perilous time in history. Well done Dan.
Dan, I love your passion to restore this magnificent building! The history you have presented so far is fascinating and can’t wait for you to learn more about it. So excited to take this journey with you!! And Nick, well you are a rock star!
Wow, Nick knows what he is doing, that is certain! So glad you have his help. So interest to follow your progress with this ruin Dan. Glad you have an expert Dan. This was a very big tree!!! So interesting to learn about the Chateau and thankful it was a safe place for the children. Exciting to follow how you restore it Dan. All the best!
Nick is amazing. I love to watch him work. He’s so confident, every movement is calculated. Kinda person you’d trust with your life. Great drone work Dan. I’m so looking forward to watching this renovation . Nice narration at the end Dan, thank you .
Other comments below hit the nail on the head. Your videography and music are captivating. Watching a master at his craft is mesmerizing! And then you reading some memories from someone who lived there as a child during that time period was deeply touching. Thanks Dan for taking us along on this journey! And what a journey it is for you! Looking forward to more vlogs….and wondering how far ahead you are at this time? Always sending best wishes from Canada!
Thank you, gentlemen, for removing that tree, it was really bothering me. Incredible back story information, Nick. It gives one insight to how this ruin was once an important structure to people's lives.
I kinda liked the look of the tree in the ruins, but i understand that for the rebuilding it had to go
I thought it would have made a wonderful treehouse for the boys. 😊 However, I do understand the need to remove it.
Nick is amazing! And the reading at the end was so moving! It feels you're restoring something more important than just walls ❤
Wow, just wow! With the tree gone you can really see the space. You and Nick are both amazing!
What would yoou all do without Nick? God send!
Hello from Nashville Tennessee! If anyone could like look such a professional it would be Nick! He fell that tree like he has done them all his life! He truly is an awesome man with an incredible talent! Best of luck to you Dan ! This is going to be such a spectacular journey for us all! Thank you for videoing all this for us all who watch your videos religiously! My best to you and your family!
Nick is a total legend. What he does not know about trees, is not worth knowing. Great video again Dan, thank you. 🥰
It is quite a chateau that you have gotten yourself, Dan, it has a story to tell and I think you will do an amazing job of telling it! Did Nick say what kind of tree that was growing inside? You should take the remnants of that tree and have it milled into something, maybe a key fob that you could sell to your viewers, I would purchase one for sure!
excellent idea!
so would I
I’d take the wood and have something built for the future Château. Plus have a couple of things made to auction off. Maybe bowls, a small sculpture etc. It would depend on the type of wood the tree is I’m sure. The money you make can go towards the renovations. Best of luck Dan! I’m looking forward to watching the Château take shape! 😊
Nick, you are such a blessing to so many people. Dan, just think, every little thing you do to your chateau is great progress….yes, even the removal of a tree. 👌🥰🙏
That was extremely satisfying to see the big tree in the house go. It makes such a difference to the space. And love the description reading of the chateau.
Wow Dan, the history of your chateau is amazing. And who else could you have had but the amazing Nick to sort out your indoor trees!!
🏰 Dan is a natural story teller! I love how we are introduced to Nic in this video. Thank you for making this videos, Dan!!!😇
Nick is as courageous as he is skilled! The tree removal made an enormous difference, Well done Nick. The renovation has me looking forward to this project you’ve undertaken and all of your success… I know you can do this!
Never, never lose your vision during the long journey ahead of you. There are so many of us that are supporting you out in the youtube world. And, luckily, you also have friends close at hand who are there to help you where they can, like Nick.
Your ending reading of one of the war occupant's memoirs of their stay at the chateau as a safe haven was so very beautiful and peaceful and is part of the reason that you have been lead to this home.
Can you just imagine what Amaury could do to restore the woodwork.
Oh Dan! We ALL need a room to meet friends! You are at the very beginning of a fabulous journey and I, for one, am stupidly excited for you! Don't let these tricky intitial stages intimate you, you HAVE this! What a wonderful adventure! Do you have Patreon yet?
And that is why you wisely used the pro, Nick. What a difference. How touching the description of the château as it was used to house children during the war. Hopefully, the writer will be able to see it once you have restored it to a safe state of habitation.
I'm speechless to your end-section where you are reading a message from a child who was housed in the chateau - omg it watered my eyes ❤
Omg..Nicks the Man. I always look forward to watching him on Chateau La Land. His rescue of your drone was also exciting! A must see. He is incredible. Your filming is outstanding as always and the history is facinating.
Thank you Nick, Thank you Dan
Nick is a rock star.
The bit you read at the end about the house is so powerful. Peoples lives.
Dan the first thing you should do is get volunteers. Clear out an area so they could camp there. You can rent a Porto lav and a water tank for cooking and washing and a grill. So many people would love to do that. You can accomplish so much more quicker!
Fantastic! I loved the reading at the end. It shows the history of the building. It had a life and now you are giving it yet another go around. I'm so very proud of you and your taking on such a mammoth task. You will never regret it! So looking forward to next week and the year to come.
Dan, you're bringing a level of artistry to your filmmaking that is really skilful. The emotion and the 'truthtelling' you're achieving with this is amazing and leaves me wishing it was going on for so much longer! (But I understand why that's not possible.) Very glad to see Nick there showing his incredible skill. The respect you have for this building is obvious in everything you do and it's going to be so beautiful when you finally get to live there. Your narration at the end, telling the story of someone who experienced life at that extraordinary time is a master stroke. You're really really good at this! Can't wait for next week. Please give us a couple of shorts this week - I don't think I can last a full week!
And meant to add, please invest in a hard hat and steel-capped boots, and wear them!
!!!
You are a visionary. And Nick is the Forest WARRIOR!
Nick is the King of Trees. I'm very impressed how he tackled this impossible job.
Nick is so talented and brave! I’m astonished you’re doing this and wonder what Annalise thinks about it all.
She was there yesterday and is impressed with the progress
@@escapetoruralfrance ❤
@@escapetoruralfrance I am glad that Annelise is a part of it.. I have always thought that the two of you, make an amazing team.. ( not my business what your relationship is like. Friendships or spouses)
Those drone shots really show just how much work is ahead of you to replace the roof. A lot of stone & brick work. Nick did his usual excellent work with the trees.
Dan, wow! The filming, the psychedelic music, sort of muted voices during dialog, the reading in the end caught me mesmerized. This is not just a vlog video, it’s a story beautifully put together.
I’ve been silently binge watching your story for a long time and it fascinates me how far you’ve gone in such a short period of time and it’s seems there are no limits of your energy and a hell of the imagination.
And the maniac sparkle in your eyes when you talk about breathing in live back to this wounded building. Priceless.
Wish I could jump on my broom and come to help swiping the dirt.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to meet one of the kids who stayed there!
Your filming is amazing Dan, timing is second to none, well done. Love watching you and get so involved I never want it to end 🤗
Your videography is amazing. So many times I "re-wound" and froze the video to marvel over some of the 'stills' that can be found in this video. You have a wonderful talent for seeing the normally unseen. And of course 'The Tree Man' never ceases to amaze me with his profound knowledge of his craft. As I watch your videos, I always say a prayer for your continued success and wish many blessings on you as you travel this dream-come-true. I am loving every step of the way. Thank you sharing this with all of us.
What a gem Nick is and such a master at his craft 👏💪 Amazing filming! Well done everybody ❤️
WOW Nick is awesome, fearless, what a risky job, but he was the best man for it! Great video Dan, can't wait to see you bring this Castle back to life
I appreciate the focus on Nick and his equipment and his thought process because I think he's incredible at what he does (he also has a lot of patience for being filmed all the time)
Great filming Dan! Nick is a true artiste the way he slowly removes trees.
Nick is amazing.. Whow.. What a man. A real man.
I'm glad you got Nick in there instead of trying to do it yourself. It is really cool that you have the first hand accounts of how the building was before the fire. It's coming a long nicely!
Removing this tree really highlighted the extent of what you have ahead of you Dan and I commend you for the forethought of bringing this magnificent structure back to life again. How fantastic to have Nick’s expertise to help with the tricky overgrowth, he is certainly the man for this job! What an epic ‘before and after’ this mansion will be in a few years time and you are just the man to do it! 👏👌🏰🥰
Yay, Nick and Dan! Two lovely men. Best day ever.
Nick saved your but and gave you light! Great job Nick!
The images, the music, the characters - keep it going man, and thanks for sharing your journey with all of us!
The anticipation of this project.. My gosh how I would love to see more than once a week!
Nick did a great job as usual!!
Thanks Dan
Nick's a wonder. What a difference he's made.
Wow! Well done Nick - could see you were apprehensive on this one even given your lengthy experience. What a challenge and so well accomplished. Such a relief! Few beers taken after that no doubt. Brilliant bloke!
Damn Dan …..I’m one minute in and the editing is SPOT ON fantastic!!
Well done you and Nick!! 🥰🌼
Wow….thanks for sharing the story at the end. It was lovely.
I have faith in you Dan. If anyone can rebuild this place, you definitely can.
Oh my goodness that has made a huge difference to the look on the inside of the chateau.. Well done everyone involved and please don't get disheartened ever because you are doing an incredible thing by bringing your stunning home to be back to life.. Look forward to your next video soon and sending you lots of best wishes from Tracey in the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️xxxxxx
Yes it will be good to have the bees removed! Nice progress Dan. As usual!
This is a project of the heart ❤️ and Nick, the tree surgeon, is the perfect person for the job 🌲
There goes the atrium 😢however I am anxious to follow the development of this magnificent project Dan😄👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥂🍾
lol, he needs to make a nod to it somehow
What in the world would any of you do without Nick? He is a Wonder.
This chateau needs to be filled with laughter and children to remove the melancholy air about it. Make it happen Dan!
Wow Dan! Your filming is going amazing - those slow motions on Nick as he is getting into his safetygear - absolutely impressive - I'm learning with my eyes ;-) 👍👑
😊
