    Hello, I've been watching since you've started this project and today, you've touched my heart with what you've said. No one would take on that project because it had no roof. I am a homeless American woman living in a homeless shelter with my daughter and it's been difficult. At the end of the day I sit and watch your video. Your message through what you do and the joy while you do speaks volumes for those of us who struggle to do way less but see you as one person doing something many should be doing together. I struggled with feeling like no one cared and wouldn't give me a chance (no roof no care). But I found this place and I'm finding purpose because I've found people who do care even if I have no roof..lol. You found purpose where people haven't and it just reminds that this kind of person still exists and can be found anywhere, it doesn't matter if it's a building or a person. This comparison can be applied anywhere and week after week we see how much potential you see in the chateaux's pile of rubble. It just made me think of what would happen if we applied this with people in my situation. I want to see past " no roof" and then help others see past "no roof." Thank you. If that made sense to you. Thank you!

    Understatement of the year ‘no one would take this place on just because it didn’t have a roof’ had nothing to do with the sleeping beauty forest grown up around it, the trees INSIDE the building, the lack of water and electricity supply, the crumbling brickwork and the 3m of rubble in the ground floor rooms nah it was the lack of roof 😂 😂 Dan your vision is one of the most incredible things about you!

      So would there be less carpenters and more engineers out there, or the other way around? Clearly all say that there isnt enough carpenters, and they have to get foreigners to come and do the hard work. Still many many architects and engineers are without job.. so things dont add up.

    Seeing you with the pegs and saying mathematics have helped you, it made me think of the studies I have done as an educator.
    So Froebel the "inventor" of kindergarten put together objects that would teach and prepare children for occupations. Sets of wooden blocks were some of the items he gave to children to use to enhance learning. Architect Frank Lloyd Wright paid homage to Froebel for the skills he had in designing the homes and other structures he created. He once exclaimed that through his years of designing he could feel the blocks from his childhood in his hands.
    I think that many creative people, builders, architects. carpenters have honed their skills from all the things they have learned throughout their lives by using, manipulating and creating with objects and tools given to them.
    I am in awe of your talents Dan and I think your life has prepared you to be where you are today, bringing life back to a long forgotten chateau.

    I once had a castle in France in Betoncourt Les Menetriers (Franche Comté). It was from the 13th century. It was a beatifull castle but the walls were 1.80 m thick and the ceilingbeams were about 40 x 70 cm. There were two rooms with missing ceilings so we had to restore those. But MY BUDDHA the deadweight of those beams. We did it ourselfs with the support of 5 friends and one pullies. Apart from the beautiful scenery I still remember the weight of those oak beams. I sold the castle 10 years ago. I'm done with restoration so I now prefer to watch other people do it. So hands down for your effort!

    It’s absolutely phenomenal what you have achieved. Yes, brag Dan. The crowd watching you roars approval getting this roof so far. You really have done an amazing job.
    What a great program on your computer to get the angles correct. The camellia is pretty and I am glad you planted them. Thank goodness you didn’t have to make all of those wooden pins by hand. I am impressed by all of your tools and yes they are a boon.
    It will be fabulous to have the help of Calvin and Nick. You will accomplish everything you want to I’m sure.
    Yay! Good for you Dan.
    Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

You have talents but you also learned he basics of nasty subjects like Maths. The same devotion to learning and details stood Michelangelo and leonardo in good standing. The did extraordinary things and you do too. Whether it is cooking, gardening or rebuilding a rather shaky old house, your love of real learning is the key to your success. Congratulations, I am back watching you (sad story)and enjoying it all. Is that a less rickety scaffold I see? Thank goodness, the other one gave me heart attacks every day!!

      ​@@mimibergerac7792 It is a good suggestion, I was thinking the same thing, the temporary roof covering should be secured with something like 2" X 1" or it may be blown off, the sides are only secured with nails which the covering can rip from and leave the nails behind, hopefully Dan can attend to it!?!
