It's like the end of an era. At first it seemed that the very walls might fall over as the trees were carefully pulled out by their roots and the rubble cleared down the levels. The 'fixing-up' will be interesting and absorbing, but not as dramatic.
Parquet floors lots of rendering and plaster mouldings painting services etc etc. The finishing work takes longer than the construction phase. So much detail in old buildings . That's what I like old buildings.
I’m wondering how many of your followers are just as adicted to your daily video’s as I am. I literally watch you every day since the beginning of this adventure. I won’t be surprised if you have the biggest daily viewing audience. It’s so much fun to witness your dream castle in the making! 😃
Same been watching everyday for almost 2 years, can't get enough of it, I think Dan is living a dream for all of us, making 50k a month for renovating their own giant chateau/castle 😅. With such a huge amount of land , what a dream 🥲😇❤
@@nigelspackman948 i think he's said 'dream castle' as expression, not meant litteraly. But you are of course completely right that a chateau is not the same as a castle :)
In all its mundane simplicity I really enjoyed this episode. The day after. And the early beginnings of a new adventure, but first simply organise stuff and clear up. It is the part of the story left out of most novels and history books. But it is a joy to watch because we feel it. We do it. It is essential. And with every tool replaced and brush doing its cleaning work we remember the mind bending effort you undertook to reach this point. So it is satisfying to see you alone in your chateau, without your friends / partners in crime that so effortlesly became our friends, just by being who they are. So I love to see you showing the insolation materials, some temporary window action, some clever video editing. And then the preparations for gardening. And then another essential: you making time for family. And now as I think about it, I realise that this is actually real magic. With a few camera's and phones, some editing software and an internet connection, you became a friend, almost family, to half a million people all over the world. And you enriched my life. So thanks! Enjoy this moment, enjoy the time off with family, and enjoy that special feeling of preparing for the next adventure.
The chateau has regained her beautiful crown thanks to Dan, Nick and Brian. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this project. I feel like you all are family. 😊
You have a huge audience of loving, awestruck supporters. I am a 72-year-old girl! Ain't no old woman! I love every phase of your journey! Bless you all!
He rebuilt a roof over 2 years. Stop with these incessant daily idolatrous comments. There’s people dying for funds and resources in the streets and you’re all in here day after day calling a dude awe-inspiring and singing divine praises for spending 2 years on a roof with some workers. Give it a rest Jesus Christ

I absolutely love that your restoration includes the landscaping and that you are able to plant really well grown trees. The outdoor work will be a beautiful surrounding for the finished chateau rather than the usual squalid mud and mess surrounding most renovation projects.❤
I really enjoy retrospect vlogs even though (like many) I've been here since the beginning of time. I'm excited for Dan to welcome new subs, maybe we can help him out by patiently answering questions, including them in conversations, helping everyone feel at home here as much as we do. A good bunch of nice people on here. Cheers everyone ☕
Even though I watched every single video of this project I still really enjoy the big recap videos, I'm always in disbelief how much progress you are making, even though I watched it all.
Thank you, Dan, for showing us that a dream is able to be achieved. If you can pull all that you have together in the past year, we can only follow in inspiration.
Who can forget the beginning! One shovel and wheelbarrow with a flat tire. Then the first time you pulled up supplies to the second floor was bricks in a grocery bag.... the good old days eh! Good for Dan and all your helpers
I frankly don’t understand why he uses modern materials such as OSB and rubber membranes on an historical building. The traditional way of using rough boards, rafters and slate tiles works much better for such an old building. Mixing old and modern materials is never a good idea. They don’t get along well.
For all of us who have been here since the first video when you found the chateau , you are an absolute miracle . The chateau was being taken over by nature bees and trees . I an on awe that you built floors and now a roof from last Christmas until now the amount of work is unprecedented. Congratulations!!!!! Enjoy the boys. They are going to have some legacy when you are done.
You said something like, if you give us too much detail, you’ll bore us. NEVER. All of the details are so interesting: your strategies, new products, history, Brian’s jokes, Nick the Viking…. We like you sharing what is in your mind.
I can remember you walking through those gates & faced with all that distruction! It is amazing that you have achieved your dream & how it is today! You all need a medal 🏅 😃💕
I lived in my house in the Vendée for two years catching rain in buckets, when I finally got to replace the roof and tiles I spent many happy nights sleeping listening to the rain… Eventually got it finished, little by little, my neighbors thought I was crazy until they came round for an apéro in a finished house… 😊
@@jimcarlisle2309 Dude , it’s been raining inside this Château for 45 years… do you not understand the importance of the fact that they can now work in a drying out environment … Yes, tarps will eventually leak, but that can be fixed. Go out in the rain without an umbrella, you will quickly understand.
I have done 7 major home renovations. I worked on the first 2 with our father, an electrician AND electrical engineer. He taught me that about every 2 weeks, you have stop work, collect the tools, organize and clean up the work site. This would usually happen on a Friday afternoon. He was a very experienced man and encouraged me to treat the weekends as "time off". I am so happy I did so, especially on the second renovation as my daughter was only 1.5 years old. You don't get those days when your children are young back.
Absolutely. If you ever saw the previous place Dan worked on, you'd know he's a messy worker! It amused me one time when he was showing off his latest piece of work, and as the camera panned, a great pile of wreckage came into view 😆
We have been builders for generations in my family, a messy building site is not only annoying it is actually really dangerous too. As a kid I would get an earful when I didn’t clean up properly after my ‘projects’.
I was just thinking how amazing and strange it must feel to have not only a roof, but rooms, floors and windows as well. It must change the whole feel of the place. Enjoy your time off with the boys ❤
Isn't it grand?!! I have been watching for all this time, too, and I can't get over how amazed I am each day a new vlog gets posted! I'm so happy for them and really in awe of the workmanship and the friendships that have developed. What a team! Kudos, men!
You went from burnt walls, no floors, windows or ceilings, big trees growing inside and piles of burnt rubble that filled the basement about five feet high from end to end. And you did this all in the past 12+ months. Now you have a Chateau basically waterproofed, with doable windows and floors you can walk on. On day one, you started with a non-functional dangerous structure that was ready to be torn down and you Dan, turned it into a Chateau again. Thank you for bringing life back to the Chateau.
Ah, the sound of rain pattering on the roof! My gosh, it seems like there has been rain coming down in buckets during your work at the chateau. Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment.
You're so right, Dan. It really is an achievement! 🤚🏼👊🏼 Your place now looks more like a home. Enjoy your time with your precious and utterly adorable sons, and we'll see you...next week! Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand.
I love that this video is a little longer! They always seem to go so fast. But I am so excited about everything that's going on and just looking at what you did today in this videos got me even more excited. Watching you all these years I feel like I'm watching a family member build their own home and I'm very very happy for you.
Or maybe we’ll get a sneak peek from Brian’s RUclips channel. Have an absolutely brilliant time with the kids! Can’t wait to see the next phase of the renovation!
Ive been watching Dan since he was a gardener for Stephanie and redoing a house that was not habitable. Then on to a shed, a gate etc and then jumped to this impossible task. When he got the yet and the tools things really started moving along with Brian and Nick.
I loved the show today Dan. So many different things happened. I'm excited by the insulation under the roof tiles. Looking at the inside of the roof is even more impressive. it's unbelievably massive. You deserve sharing a bottle of champagne with Nick and Brian this Christmas, for sure.🇬🇧
What an achievement!! It is a special person who can guide a project like the renovation of the chateau: daunting to most people, but you did it. You were truly blessed to have Nick, Brian and the guy in the orange pants on your team. It was truly an amazing journey, which is not over: Thanks for the guided tour of your journey. Enjoy your days off!!!!
Dear Dan you never cease to amaze me with your positive attitude and absolute zest for life 🥰 What a MILESTONE 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Stay safe and blessings as always 😇😇😇😇
Its so weird to see so much being filmed, but not seeing the sky! What a great achievement! Iv watched every episode from the start of this renovation and things never got boring! Super excited!!
I have called you guys my dream team since the beginning and you have never disappointed me ever. I can't wait for each video and the recap is always fantastic just reminds us all of how far you have come.😊
Dan you are a very patient man. You whistle while doing the most mundane clean up work. It has to be done …you do a very thorough job of it too. I have complete faith in your vision. A shovel and a wheelbarrow with tons of debris to clear away in the very beginning. I remember all the trees growing inside the chateau ruin…you have come a very long way.
I am so pleased to see your back, after finishing last week, I was worried we wouldn't see you for a long while, you definitely needed a break but so pleased to here about the windows and clearing..You are an exceptional team, incredibly hard working and with a project most people would have not even considered..you deserve huge praise and we are so proud to be able to see you moving on..thank you❤
wish you relaxing hours with your kids. they have missed you probably with this amount of work, you have achieved. I am always looking forward for the next video as if it was my own project. Amazing. With the roof I was aspecting to use a crane. But you managed to do it without ! How heroic ! From Germany.
While I'm a bit sad that we won't see you for a while, you've delivered incredibly beautiful content over these past months if not years, and your boys need some extended time alone with you!! We'll be happy to check back with you when you're ready. No worries. Be safe. And thank you tons!!!
😮 all the rooms look and feel so very different now... first time having a room-in-a-real-house-feeling... ❤ The days when seeing you working in a chateau ruin are actually gone now 🤗🍾
I have to admit, I was one of those people that thought that you would never be able to rebuild, let alone put back the roof. Well done Dan and crew! 🎉
Taking down the climbing gear really hit home. You are certainly looking healthier I’m so pleased to see Dan. Cat must be looking after you. 😊 The roof membrane with insulation is fantastic and will help so much in keeping the chateau warmer. Great choice. Installing the Perspex is sensible and protective too. Have some fun with your boys. You truly have done so much. I’m happy to look back and more the merrier watching is just what we want for you Dan. What you have achieved is phenomenal. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
You need at least 20cm of insulation wool in a roof to have a real effect, better even 30 cm, unless you use the novel silicate based insulation material which has the same effect with only a couple of cm, I doubt that this little bit of insulation will make much of a difference. Money thrown down the toilet.
I'm telling you, mate, before you know it, you'll be doing plaster and woodwork and finishing surfaces and pulling together the furnishings! You've done a huge job of work. Keep after it, it's a journey to watch!
Happy to see the roof construction and tarping finished. It must have been a special moment for all of you to see it done. Congratulations and enjoy your holidays
I would love to see reactions of all the chateau neighbors…I’m guessing at first they thought Dan was loopy, but now probably amazed at how he’s bringing the Chateau back!
💕You could make temporary doors using the Perspex on a frame either making two doors each side top & bottom OR just one door each side💕Or just cover each opening with clear plastic to let light in💕
Dear Dan, I used the same insulation sheets for my house. There are really efficient. No need to heat the house that much, 17 degree is perfect. Good choice.
@@Asphyxia-l8i Oh, my gosh, there are so many issues. You have to decide how you're going to use the house. In the original design, the kitchen was in the basement. That's not going to work in modern life. There are other similar issues, like how bedrooms and bathrooms are going to be laid out and plumbed. Also, there is the location of stairways. A house like this would normally have at least three stairways. Currently, the house just has the main staircase the originates from the ground floor. But there is no internal access to the basement and no internal access to the top room in the back or either of the side spaces. All of this has to be addressed in detail before you can even begin to lay out the electrical, heating and plumbing. You can't make that stuff up as you go along.
It is so true, this series with its protagonists is actually the biggest inspiration for our own real life 🙂 it is emitting so much positivity, this spark enlights us all with every single episode. Hold on with your dreams, always see the positive achievements and never give up! 🤗

It started with a shovel, a wheel barrow, and a man with a dream. Wow it is a real thing now.. :)
I know right? I kept thinking.....get a bigger shovel at least!! 😃.....but look at him now.
@@snowiowl826 hopefully he'll treat himself to a dustpan and brush at some point - not sure the trowel is the right tool for the cleaning job!
@@melissaworth4961 I was thinking of a blower -
He also had a bucket to carry bricks and mortar.
@@melissaworth4961 I’m in full agreement with you! He will have to sweep up again below! Reminds me of the blower in early days!😂
You officially now have a fixer upper actual building, instead of just a ruin. Major milestone.
It's like the end of an era. At first it seemed that the very walls might fall over as the trees were carefully pulled out by their roots and the rubble cleared down the levels.
The 'fixing-up' will be interesting and absorbing, but not as dramatic.
So true!
Looking forward to them fixin’ up this now “fixer upper” 😜
Yeah it's really cool to see him walking around in a building instead of climbing piles of rubble.
I called it a “terrarium” from day one. 👍🏻🤣
Heaven to hear the words “oak or chestnut parquet floors” 💜
Parquet floors lots of rendering and plaster mouldings painting services etc etc.
The finishing work takes longer than the construction phase.
So much detail in old buildings .
That's what I like old buildings.
Hate to see parquetflooring before slate is on the roof
Congratulations on reaching your Movember goal of 50k!! And coming in first place for individuals. Well done, Dan!

You said it all. Thanks, Dan, for creating one of the most enjoyable channels.
Nicely put. I agree with all you said👍🏻

You did all that Dan!! A ruin with trees spouting from the walls, burnt timbers, stone and brick crumbling almost to dust. What a transformation!!
Even though I watched every single video of this project I still really enjoy the big recap videos, I'm always in disbelief how much progress you are making, even though I watched it all.
Well, Dan you lived to tell the tale! Congratulations! Enjoy your time with the boys! They are only young once! Well done! Bravo, to Nick and Brian!
Great job. DAN. Please keep safe. God bless you and your family. Brian and Nick.
Thank you. Keep safe
How fantastic, no water running down the walls now!! Congratulations on all your hard work!!
How immensely satisfying to clear out the top floor cubbins from roof build and delighted to hear your taking a few days off with the boys
Thank you, Dan, for showing us that a dream is able to be achieved. If you can pull all that you have together in the past year, we can only follow in inspiration.
My gosh Dan, you should be so very proud of yourself with what you have achieved
The chateau looks amazing,
I'm a72 year young women and have designed and built my entire life. I absolutely love your journey. Enthralling! Thanks for sharing.
I feel like we have all been on this journey with you. Enjoy your time with your munchkins, you deserve to have some you time!
never thought I would be addicted to a youtube channel. nuts.
I agree do much. Every night I af waiting for him. Cannot mis him. Hopefully it takes some time to finish it
even got my mum addicted and she's never seen an episode 😂 I explain every detail over the phone. Yup, nuts.
Me too, I'm so invested it's ridiculous lol
this is the most entertained I have ever been watching something....I'm very addicted.
Who can forget the beginning! One shovel and wheelbarrow with a flat tire. Then the first time you pulled up supplies to the second floor was bricks in a grocery bag.... the good old days eh! Good for Dan and all your helpers
Ahahaha...the wheelbarrow with the flat tire and makeshift stair ramp that forever collapsed...!!!good times
😮😢😅😂😊❤
And the bucket!
That insulating membrane is an absolutely brilliant product design.
Agree. Not boring, fascinating.
Wool is wonderful
Can be difficult to screw thru. Guess they just use a nail gun 🤷🏼♀️🤞

What’s amazing is that for the first time ever you’re actually in a house!
Enjoy your time off with the boys, Dan. You deserve it. I've been around since the very beginning and look forward to future videos of your work.
Same here.
Ah, the sound of rain pattering on the roof! My gosh, it seems like there has been rain coming down in buckets during your work at the chateau. Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment.

Enjoy your time with your precious and utterly adorable sons, and we'll see you...next week!
Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand.
I cannot wait until they start building the permanent staircases in this glorious old home
Oh yeah, the stairway will look insane
I agree. It will really start coming together as being a proper homely château.
That's Finish carpentry. Got a few more videos before then, but it's getting close!
Yup one of the last things you do is final floor finishes including in stairs as they get so much wear in a build.
I love that this video is a little longer! They always seem to go so fast. But I am so excited about everything that's going on and just looking at what you did today in this videos got me even more excited. Watching you all these years I feel like I'm watching a family member build their own home and I'm very very happy for you.
Enjoy some well deserved time off with your boys, Dan. I hope Nick can keep Brian in line ( gotta love him & his antics!)
I've missed seeing your brothers helping you out. So nice of them to finally make time.
Your project is one of the coolest on the internet. Thanks.
As a 73yr old Australian lady I have enjoyed watching you from the start. Look forward to the next stage
Or maybe we’ll get a sneak peek from Brian’s RUclips channel. Have an absolutely brilliant time with the kids! Can’t wait to see the next phase of the renovation!
It is awesome just how much you have accomplished in 12 months.
Your work ethic is second to none 💚
Congratulations on your achievement !✌️
Just so cool to see this project. I always watch the ads. Thanks for the dedication.
Ive been watching Dan since he was a gardener for Stephanie and redoing a house that was not habitable. Then on to a shed, a gate etc and then jumped to this impossible task. When he got the yet and the tools things really started moving along with Brian and Nick.
Have fun with the kids. Wonderful progress. As always you have my admiration ( all of you).
Surprised to see the wood framed French windows still in place......surviving the fire and the 40 years of neglect.
It's so inspirational, and emotional seeing this Chateau come to life, especially if one has been watching Dan,s, videos from scratch.

Great test for the roof, glad it all stayed dry. You guys did a fabulous job.

wish you relaxing hours with your kids. they have missed you probably with this amount of work, you have achieved. I am always looking forward for the next video as if it was my own project. Amazing. With the roof I was aspecting to use a crane. But you managed to do it without ! How heroic ! From Germany.
I had a Border Collie for 14 years, your one doggie looks just like her. :D Best dog I ever had. She was my pal.
While I'm a bit sad that we won't see you for a while, you've delivered incredibly beautiful content over these past months if not years, and your boys need some extended time alone with you!! We'll be happy to check back with you when you're ready. No worries. Be safe. And thank you tons!!!
😮 all the rooms look and feel so very different now... first time having a room-in-a-real-house-feeling... ❤ The days when seeing you working in a chateau ruin are actually gone now 🤗🍾
I have to admit, I was one of those people that thought that you would never be able to rebuild, let alone put back the roof. Well done Dan and crew! 🎉
Good tidy up Dan and sealing the windows. Enjoy your days off with the kids
Looking forward to it, now you go and have fun with the children, and enjoy yourselves.
Taking down the climbing gear really hit home. You are certainly looking healthier I’m so pleased to see Dan. Cat must be looking after you. 😊 The roof membrane with insulation is fantastic and will help so much in keeping the chateau warmer. Great choice. Installing the Perspex is sensible and protective too. Have some fun with your boys. You truly have done so much. I’m happy to look back and more the merrier watching is just what we want for you Dan. What you have achieved is phenomenal. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
You need at least 20cm of insulation wool in a roof to have a real effect, better even 30 cm, unless you use the novel silicate based insulation material which has the same effect with only a couple of cm, I doubt that this little bit of insulation will make much of a difference. Money thrown down the toilet.
Looking good, Dan! Bravo! When I watched you gardening at LaLande, I could not tell that you had all these engineering skills! Wow! 😊❤
Dan, the re-builder: cute, entertaining, hard working visionary!
It’s totally Amazing all the work you have done!
I'm glad to see windows and doorways dried in! Thought that would be next...
I'm telling you, mate, before you know it, you'll be doing plaster and woodwork and finishing surfaces and pulling together the furnishings! You've done a huge job of work. Keep after it, it's a journey to watch!
Happy to see the roof construction and tarping finished. It must have been a special moment for all of you to see it done. Congratulations and enjoy your holidays
Du hast bisher so tolles geleistet, da hast du dir die freie Zeit mit deinen Kindern verdient!
Ich wünsche Euch ganz wundervolle Tage!!!
I would love to see reactions of all the chateau neighbors…I’m guessing at first they thought Dan was loopy, but now probably amazed at how he’s bringing the Chateau back!
What a great attic to have a pool table and tv. Can’t call it a man cave, but what a great Retreat Room! Well done!
Congratulations on hitting this milestone! Have a wonderful mini vacation with your boys and have fun doing Christmas-y things with them!
What a lovely sound, rain on the roof!
💕You could make temporary doors using the Perspex on a frame either making two doors each side top & bottom OR just one door each side💕Or just cover each opening with clear plastic to let light in💕
Dear Dan, I used the same insulation sheets for my house. There are really efficient. No need to heat the house that much, 17 degree is perfect. Good choice.
I am so proud of you guys, it's been wonderful following you
Good to see the windows being covered. Time to get an architect on the team. You’ve gone as far as you can go with just engineering input.
What? Why? The design of the house is finished, no need for an architect.
@ layout of rooms and stairs.
@@slicksalmon6948 They are set. You don’t need an architect to replicate something that already has been designed.
@@Asphyxia-l8i Oh, my gosh, there are so many issues. You have to decide how you're going to use the house. In the original design, the kitchen was in the basement. That's not going to work in modern life. There are other similar issues, like how bedrooms and bathrooms are going to be laid out and plumbed. Also, there is the location of stairways. A house like this would normally have at least three stairways. Currently, the house just has the main staircase the originates from the ground floor. But there is no internal access to the basement and no internal access to the top room in the back or either of the side spaces. All of this has to be addressed in detail before you can even begin to lay out the electrical, heating and plumbing. You can't make that stuff up as you go along.
Great to see Dan, Dan & Dan helping with the perspex :)
I'd like to know where he keeps the other triplets when they aren't helping out.
@@airenesmiler6624They seem to hide somewhere while Brian and Nick are there 😄
Wow, well done, what an achievement! The attic is going to seem enormous with everything cleared out. Loving your work! :)
Your positivity is infectious! Keep up the awesome work!
It is so true, this series with its protagonists is actually the biggest inspiration for our own real life 🙂 it is emitting so much positivity, this spark enlights us all with every single episode.
Hold on with your dreams, always see the positive achievements and never give up! 🤗
