Boy do I know how you feel. I moved into my new home in Sept 2022 after 4 years of planning and construction. 2 of those years I lived in a literal storage room and had to shower at the gym. Then I moved into a small travel trailer next to the construction for 2 years. It had a shower but no hot water so I heated water in the tea kettle. You will REALLY savor those first few showers. Good luck to you.
Wow! Adding plumbing to a building that didn't have it, is such a challenge
Its completely different dealing with a 16th-19th century buildings, where toilets, plumbing, water, central heating, electricity, hallways, are all afterthoughts to original construction.
it's not THAT complicated really. Just a few holes, pipes, and done!
Good to see finally someone using the correct mask for that silica based dust.
yeah, they used it for all of 5 minutes
It sometimes seems overwhelming guys but you are saving a world treasure!❤My husband and I restored an 18th Century Federal Mansion in Maryland, USA. And after 40 years we look back amazed at what we did to save this major part of History.❤❤
I feel your exhaustion. You guys make me smile. Tim working his butt off while listening to a footy match is everything. And Felicity, you're a badass, girl.
Go the Cats! You are working so hard, I’m glad technology these days mean you can listen to or even watch a footy match from across the other side of the world before hearing the results & to help with minimising homesickness! That’s what we missed the most living overseas for years, (decades ago) without being able to follow the footy. For the grand final one year, my husband came back to Melbourne (for work), watched the match while taping it, then jumped in the car with VCR tape & frozen 4n20 pies in hand, to be driven to the airport in time for the flight back. At the other end, we drove straight to a sports bar with the tape. It was packed with fellow Aussies after the word had got around, ready to watch the replay 18 hrs after the match originally started, & while eating a heated up meat pie!! I hope you get to have your longed for shower rather than a bath after a long day’s work soon! You are both amazing, as is Truffle! Thank you for sharing this journey.
Truffle leaning her head on his knee. So cute. That dog loves you guys so much! Jumping from room to room taking in the excitement!
Came here from seeing the massive shower base go in - I love this edit, shows a bit of the dusty three of you as well as the progress and planning and issues :)
Thank you! As you can see, it feels like its taking forever... but we have to get each step right and we want to save as many of the beautiful tomettes (clay tiles) as possible.
This video was so interesting. It never ceases to amaze me how much weight all that lime or sand or concrete base must weigh. That being said, it is not surprising that the tomettes have survived so well. Such super hard, and super dirty work. You are indeed heroes saving this magnificent structure
Beautiful start to this amazing video! Loved watching all of it, too. Your dog in there "helping", Tim listening to the footy while he works, you working your backside off ... all of it makes me feel so proud of our Aussies. Incredible job, Felicity & Tim! 👏👌🇦🇺
Bonjour j'admire votre patience et votre détermination ,bon courage pour la suite
Yeaahhh ! The Purnon team won this match, go!go!go! 😁 Bravo to all the workers on this hard and long château worksite.
Haha. Can any job be truly complete without a doggy companion - helping! So funny, I think we have all been there.
Your best vlog up to now! Very interesting! You are great workers and deserve much more followers!
This is the kind of vlog I love.....seeing the work actually be done.
Agree!
I think there would be many more followers if they posted more frequently and consistently.
@@mayflower2401 I agree, fully
I can't imagine the hard work that has to go with every step of this remarkable restoration.
As a side note when watching her down on the floor lifting up tiles, etc. I thought to myself "that's the best example of how sweat equity works."
The expression "sweat equity" in my country (USA) means the owners themselves turn in and do the labor needed for whatever purpose.
I can't wait to see the next episode with the tremendous effort and work. Congratulations also with your determination that everything will be done so well with the attention to detail.
Hey guys the Château is looking so good.. just a quick message noticed your beautiful dog around the work site.. be carful not to expose him to all the harmful dust. His such a lovely fella would won’t him to get sick. Keep him safe from harmful elements in the air. I know you guys love him so I love animals myself.. love watching guys keep up the good work👍
I love what you are doing but I think we all need to bow-wow down to Truffe, the undoubted star of the show xxx
If any two people deserve the creature comforts of a laundry, bathroom, and shower, it is the two of you! And a bath for your adorable dog. Never seen so much dust in my life! Bravo, for all that you do saving such a remarkable building and estate.
The destruction phase finally begins! I love seeing how the building was constructed. With all that heavy sand and mud under the floors - you're going be exhausted for a while!
Amazing teams
The roof is looking great! All your hard work is starting to take shape :))) I admire your dedication to this project ❤I hope you both get to enjoy that new shower soon :))
My hat is off to you! WOW! We built our own 4 level home years ago. We both had full time jobs and 3 daughters to raise. It took us 10 years! It's incredibly hard work!
Congratulations on all that’s been achieved thus far … you folks are amazing, and doing wonderful things! Also … I’m curious how so many of those working in very dusty rooms are not wearing any masks.
Great setting for a French version of the tv series ‘ ghosts’. Defo Napoleon in it!🎉🎉😂😂😂
'Carn the Cats'!!! 😀❤I laughed when I heard 'got to stop work for the footy'. No matter where you are in the world, Geelong crops up somewhere more than any other city in Australia. I went for a job interview in Melbourne once upon a time. I had to face 3 people & the last question I was asked was, 'what footy team did I support?' Oh boy! I knew it would make a difference of failure or success. I could've lied & guessed what footy team the boss supported being in Melbourne. I had 15 chances to pick what Melbourne footy team it could be, but I went with honesty instead. I told them Geelong! I got the job & it turned out my new boss had a photo of Gary Ablett Snr (AKA GOD), on his desk from the days when he played for Hawthorne. Clearly I picked the right team.
Thank goodness you didn't say Collingwood. Always controversial, as is teams from interstate. In Melbourne, Geelong is always a safe bet, and some always has a friend or relative from the country who barracks for the Cats. (Mind you I was always the lonely Cat's supporter at all my different jobs.) PS: Sad to hear of the health issues that Ablett Snr is facing, along with so many others. What a stunning player!
That was a lot of work. I know that bathroom will look fabulous. What a concept - the first shower. Thanks so much for sharing.
Seeing you in the little door in the hallway reminds me of old haunted house movies with the portraits with eyes that follow you lol. The chateau is beautiful. I never understood why chateau builders used heavy masonry tiles in attics and other upper floors, and all the dirt and debris between floor joists.
I truly feel for you both. Maybe your neighbor will let you use his shower for now. It will be worth all of the effort when you can have your own shower again. I am so glad you have the help to assist you in keeping this historical chateau as authentic as possible. Your beautiful dog is a true companion.❤
Very diligent work inspector.
That was hard dirty work. You did really well. I wish it was the end of it for you, but I know you have a lot of dusty work to go. Happy the Cats won for you! Xx Kelly 🇦🇺
Loved teh cameo by Tomahawk!
Can I give you some GREAT advice? You need to get a metal grate doorstep! The type, where the "pattern" is little squares. They are amazing, for removing mortar on tiles, bricks, etc! Simply lay the tile on it, and move it around. Takes seconds!! Saves time, and your back! 😊
bonjour ils sont suivis et conseillés par un architecte des monuments historiques qui travaille aussi au château de Versailles , et par des artisans agrées avec beaucoup d' expériences, alors s' il font comme çà ......
I agree. They were doing this backwards. Take the work to the tool, not the other way around. Odd how that seems so obvious to us in the peanut gallery.
13:36 it's called a "chemin de fer" or railway. Used to work on stone. I have one. Works very well.
Thank you so much for the history lessons you explain in your vlogs. How jealous I am, that your living in such a historical and beautiful home.
Can’t wait to see more.
God Bless you both and your neighbor for helping.
THIS IS REMARKABLE... GOOD ON YOU TWO!!!
Who needs a gym! I’m very impressed with your involvement.
This is very exciting. But please keep the dog out of any dusty construction as that dust could make him very sick . ❤
You guys are amazing! I wish I could just invite you over for a meal and a hot shower! Praying the work goes quickly!
Wow! Amazing work!
Restoring that wonderful Chateau is a labor of love. I greatly admire what you all are doing and find this very inspirational to get some of my own projects done. Bravo !!
A lot of hard work but will be so wonderful in the end and appreciated because of the hard work. Press on good luck
What a monumental task! Good to see proper respirators being worn but your eyes are taking in all that dust too... as annoying as they are, some goggles might save you some damage.
First of all, Tommy kicked 8 today! How brilliant.... Can we go back to back this year? There's a long way to go, but glad to see the boys getting back to form and the new team starting to gel after a slow start. (Then again I think we were like that last year...) Secondly, the challenge to create that first shower is one step closer to becoming a reality and not a dream. An enormous effort by the whole team. Good luck with this, and all your other dreams and endeavours. Your determination is amazing.... Go Cats!
As always you both just amaze me with Purnon and her advancement into a new way life but respecting her history 🥰🥰❤❤❤
Its such a pleasure to see the happenings at Purnon. Especially with her getting a shower fitted!!! I'm so excited!! Its wonderful. I can not wait to see part 2 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Never thought I'd be this excited for the transformation of a bathroom 🤣🤣🤣 but how can one not be...its you guys and Purnon!!! 🥰🥰❤❤❤❤❤❤ love it!!
I was born and raised in Finley, NSW, Tom Hawkins dad, “jumping”Jack Hawkins property was well know for some great community functions. Finley footy team was called cats as the Geelong selectors would pick from the Riverina area.
Thanks so much for sharing Julie!
This is all very interesting...😊
Love the footy interruption during the work day.
I'm sure it will be one of many total exhaustion days to come, but it will be so worth it in end.
So much work, but what a result you will have once it's completed! I have a question - is the intention to have more than one laundry room in the chateau? It makes complete sense to have laundry rooms on the floors with all the bedrooms, as that is the place where most of the washing is generated. It is so wonderful to see your beautiful home come back to life. Thank you for continuing to share your progress! Oh, and Truffe is absolutely adorable! ❤❤❤
We bet that was the best bath ever. We're not sure who was more tired, you or Mademoiselle Truffe.... R&M. PS. Go Cats...!
Enjoyed this one!
What a filthy dusty job! You two work so hard and even whilst listening to the Aussie rules! And your elderly neighbour, what a kindly helpful neighbour to have!
Yes, José, our neighbour, is amazing! And there is something about the sound of the footy in the background that takes us back to Australia for a brief moment. Thank you for following our adventure!
Bonjour,je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et ce Château,déjà,bravo pour ce sauvetage et Merci pour les sous titres en Français, Amitié
Just found your videos and spending a rainy morning watching them … absolutely love all the historical details as well as the nitty gritty of the hard-slogging and dusty work of creating a bathroom. It would make a great family portrait of you guys and dog all dusty and tired.
Welcome! Hope the weather cleared for you today!
you are heroes doing this work!!
Tvrdá práce, přeji vám mnoho sil.Bude to nádherný zámek.Zdravím z ČR.
At the end of watching that video I just said wow ! What a big job ! All good wishes guys ! It’s all going to look amazing.
You must be exhausted, and left to have a cold bath on a coldish day. No thanks, hair wash in the sink, and a flannel wash.
Putting ones hair up in a lovely scarf will save you from any horrid dust and debris, it will look good to.
Loved the video, best one by far. Xx❤
good work day. yes
best chateau channel
the silk falling off the walls seem to be hiding other potential wall treatments.
What a monumental task you have taken to endevor. I await your next weeks progress.
Great dog. Maybe now you can live at the chateau
A labor of love and dedication... you guys represent that with the work you're doing to preserve Purnon. You rock! Did Tim's team win the game? Cheers- 🍺
Yes! Cats won by 93 points...that's a lot in Aussie Rules Football.
@ Excellent!
@ Excellent!
l was really enjoying these videos and then l find out you are a Geelong supporter, go PIES 🤣🤣
The dust is tremendous you really all should be wearing masks...love your beautiful dog 🐕 ❤
What an amazing project and so many factors to consider. Bonne chance on making your dreams of a shower come true 😍😘
Wonderful progress. Enjoyed. Blessings.
WOW! Such a labour of love.
Great work done but wearing a mask for all workers involved in this difficult work should be a must. ❤️🙏
Wonderful to see
its quite a house you have taken on. You are going to be dirty for a while yet ... just remember your efforts will pay off in the end... watching your from melb, Vicki
The definition of hard yakka
I think a wire wheel would strip those tiles much faster than elbow grease, considering you have several million to go.
I’m watching from Australia and was surprised to get AFL Geelong game notification via the subtitles. Curiously, there is not a game today. If you are remotely interested, there is an upcoming game…Geelong 9th V Essendon 4th at MCG 1.10 pm Sunday, Victorian time. None of this will make any sense to none Aussies.
The game against Sydney was last Saturday when this video was filmed... I'll be awake very early to listen to the game against Essendon tomorrow. We love enjoying our Australian heritage while restoring French heritage.
@ cats are tipped to win.
@ am really enjoying your progress.
@@irishwoman3975 Great game by Danger and Hawkins!
I see you on your knees scraping those tiles. Be careful with your knees. Trust me you don't want to mess them up like I did mine. Take precautions. Sit on something and be more comfortable. When your knees are shot it really affects your life. Even trying to climb a ladder can be very difficult :(
Exemplary effort Guys ❤
bravo good workers
I’m exhausted just watching!!
So Tim supports Geelong? I support Brisbane Lions. They had a very good win against Fremantle today. Go Lions! Ha ha.
Great to see 'the fun stuff' progress! Is there not a machine the equivalent of a wood planer to get the old mortar off and polish the tiles?
I live in Geelong! ...but I'm a Hawthorn supporter, haha
Given the rivalry between our two clubs you must have had some pretty uncomfortable times in Geelong from time to time.
Greetings from Geelong and I’m a Cats supporter.
@ But the games are always brilliant and fought out right to the very end regardless of where the teams are on the ladder at the time. Always love watching the two go head to head at the G on Easter Monday! Not quite the '89 Grand Final but certainly lots of determination.
When can we see an aerial view of the entire domain and outbuildings? I'm excited to know if there is a lake and a forest as a part of the domain.
Gosh it’s a beautiful place without a doubt, but Mademoiselle needs a dust mask as well.
I noticed the piece fabric wallcovering that looks brand new that must have been covered and protected all of these years. Will you cut that out and frame it?
Truffe needs a mask or to be outside. He’ll get clogged lungs.
Is there a local gym with showers? Perhaps having a membership will give you somewhere to shower?
The château is actually located in quite a remote area and our closest gym would most likely be around 40 mins drive.
Such courage to have taken on this challenge. What was the attraction and incentive?
Watch the Q&A which is going live right now and this and many other questions will be answered!
So interesting hearing French with an Australian accent. Any French people here who can tell me how it sounds to their ears?
Apologize for what may perhaps be a stupid question, but why don't you cover the other half of the roof with a tarp waiting on its turn for repair?
Go Carlton Tom Hawkins is crosseyed lol
Well, he kicked five goals straight... he must have pretty good eye sight. But congrats to Carlton... nice win over West Coast today.
@ very true , great to see some Aussies doing so well and you have a beautiful place
Awesome, I’m a believer in the ability to adapt, too many bone heads with more money than brains that want to “Remodel” not “Restore”
Keep it up
Thanks for your message.
Safety glasses
when is the next video? What is your timeline for all the work?
Please please always wear your masks - get one for puppy too --- my husband a heritage contractor for 40 years - never made an exception but still medical repercussions -- protect your lungs.
Restoration of these chateaus should be handled by a large construction and architecture firm. They literally need to be stripped down to the stone walls and then have an entire new support structure built within,along with mechanicals, because they are too old, and unsafe for do it yourself crews to work on. Plus the enormous cost of restoring these wonderful chateaus is just too much money and work for owners. It would be nice if many of these abandoned homes sitting in disrepair all across the French countryside were completely rebuilt to modern day standards while preserving the facade and any other period details that need to be, and were turned into Bed and breakfast hotels, so that many folks could get a chance to enjoy them.
Tim et félicity ont la chance que ce chateau est classé " patrimoine historique ". donc, ils vont avoir une aide de l' état de 60% des travaux, plus une aide du " Loto du patrimoine " plus une aide encore d' une fondation, et le travail et le conseil d' un architecte agrée des "monuments historiques " expert du XVIIIeme siècle, expert dans le travail de rénovation.
il a travaillé au chateau de versailles....
transformer des bâtiments anciens, parfois historiques, sans vouloir profiter de leurs classements aux " monuments historiques " pour l' histoire et l' aide financière, mais pour le modernisme, existe beaucoup déjà. Quand les pulsions mercantiles auront ravagés tout notre savoir faire , notre histoire, il sera trop tard.. heureusement , en France , il reste encore beaucoup d 'histoire, et d' amoureux, et que d' ici là , les chambres d' hôtes " historiques " resteront uniques... sans passé, pas de futur...
Wait. Did they just lay tile right onto DIRT?! The entire first floor sits just on DIRT?! 🤔🤔
Lay it out with tape on the floor
play back at 1.25%
I was thinking mor masks might be a good idea. Hard work!🤗🇨🇦
Please be careful with your lungs and that dirt you were shoveling.
AGAIN your architect is from the Palace of Versailles, so the French Gov is well involved in all your renovations. Makes me wonder if you actually own this chateau or if you are just renters.
We certainly are the owners of Purnon. We purchased Purnon in 2020 at which point the chateau was in grave peril. We immediately started the restoration of the château roof and facades in order to save Purnon. The first step in this process was appointing a monument historic architect. We selected Frédéric DIDIER who, as you stated, is the chief architect at Château de Versailles. We selected M.DIDIER for many reasons primarily however due to the fact that he his an 18th century specialist. We cover this in previous videos on our channel which you may like to watch to familiarise yourself with the enormous project we have undertaken here , at our own personal risk, to restore Château de Purnon.
@ Thank you for the clarification. In your video I find it confusing. Per example the time it is taking to do one side of the roof. Why, are there technical details? More rebuilding and restoration that was envisage at first. Now installing bathrooms, running water, heating system? This would be helpful to know. Wishing you happy restoration.
