Ahh, Brian. Such a refreshing, effortlessly likable (and multi-talented) gent. Thanks for sharing your life perspective... and your music choices. Spot on.
Collecting wood is actually a hobby of some people. I can vouch that my father has a shed full. Whenever he suggested to my mother that she had too much fabric in her tiny sewing room, she simply raised her eyebrows and pointed at his gigantic shed!
My parents were the same! I had a clearout of fabrics inherited from my Mum & my Granny plus my excess fabrics & some my daughter left at home and I STILL have way too much fabric...oh and yarn too!
My Dad collects old Tractors and my Mom collects loom for weaving. Every time there was a new tractor there would be a new loom within a week or so. They are both in their 90s now and the same rules still apply.
I never throw out wood. My hubby says I have an issue 😂… but it always comes in handy! Only today I went into the wood collection to build a mini shelter for the Christmas laser projector (not to protect it from rain; but more to ensure it doesn’t catch anyone’s eyes as they enter or leave the house, so it has nice ‘wings’). My wood collection last month meant I was able to build a wooden frame for the raised shower base too… without having to buy new/more wood.
I have to mute it sometimes and put subtitles on. I can't stand jazz. Saxophones make my flesh crawl. Dan had the best music when he worked alone and had nobody to converse with.
Great vlog Brian. You are a joy to watch and listen to as well Not sure if anyone else feels the same but it’s cool hanging out with you while you’re working on your own place too. It’s like being around someone you’ve known for years 😅 that’s crazy since we’ve never met in person. Looking forward to seeing the finished boot room. Enjoy your time with friends and see you tomorrow.❤❤❤
@@joyce-el7ix Of course we'd love to see Brian's place. He set up his channel because he wants people to watch. Having seen that enormous outhouse, I'm dying to see the rest of the place.
Having a layabout today due to strep throat and decided to watch today's vlog on the TV instead of my phone. You now have a new fan, my 3 month old yellow lab! He enjoyed watching you as you were moving around the screen 😊😊😊
There is something I really like about you. I could listen to you all day. your videos are fun to watch because you never use slowmo or fastmo. Of which some other guy uses to much.. I really feel like I am sharing your thought process and wisdom. btw Princess Bride forever! Who is following you with the camera?
Work smarter not harder Brian! Love it!! Talking to myself… I give myself those little pep-talks all as well. Cheers Brian from the northwest corner of the United States.. 🇺🇸
Hey Brian, as long as we have winter, collecting wood is a good thing to do. I love the picture of the boot room; I have no doubt your will be better than that. Have you given us a tour of your "Chateau".... if I missed, I am sorry. Enjoy your dinner. Love from N.Y.
Hi Brian. I love Pinterest. I too fall into GREAT projects. NEVER throw away lumber. (Or any other bits and bobs!!😂)Your boot room will be gorgeous.🎉 Love and blessings to all.❤❤❤❤
Brian, I love your choice of music, that slow jazz brings back so many wonderful memories of my now deceased partner and I slow dancing in the kitchen after cleaning the kitchen up after a nice meal. Thank you again for bringing back these memories. I truly enjoy watching your vlogs.
Hello Irish🍀 I'm glad you get to work on your own Chateau today. Does your Chateau have a name? The picture of the boot room looks really nice. I'm sure you'll be able to replicate it and add your own unique touches to it. Enjoy dinner with your friends.🥂
Mud room is something Brian needs for his grubbies when coming in from bike rides, etc. Looking good Brian. I couldn't help but wonder how you got it level without Nick's directions on which way to move the board! Lol!
Brian I love that idea for the boot room! Everyone should do that it’s so practical and keeps the mess out of the house . Growing up we had a similar place we called the back room. We 6 kids we had a lot of coats,shoes,boots,snow pants etc! Back then we were outdoor kids not like today🤨 I love the painted Pinterest picture. Hope you had a lovely day😎
Fantastic start Brian..cant wait to see the completed bootroom. That stunning stone wall at the end...omg. Thank you for sharing your life, challenges and fun times with us all. Hugs Helen. East Gippsland Australia
Hello lovely man 😘 nice to see you again ❣️. My god I love your barn / sheds . So much room love it . I have a double garage with a work space it's never enough room . I need another shed just for all my wood I keep ,like you I don't throw any wood away ,don't think meany people unstand why I keep it all ,as you said theirs always the fire🙂. Love your idear for your boot room that's going to look good . Love your stone wall inside beautiful . Love everything you do . Enjoy every moment the day brings . See you again soon love you 😘😘😘😘😘.
Your house looks amazing with loads of space, wish you didn't have to think about security so much and could show us more. I love that workshop area - could go mad in there creating all sorts of nonsense!
Hi Brian 👋😊 The pint thingy looks really good and I am sure with your additional touch will be great. I confess when you said you would get it done today I was shaking my head saying "No Brian you won't" not because I don't have faith in you but more because even a professional on his own couldn't finish that in what amounts to half a day after the shopping trip. Ok I may or may not watch a lot of channels that build stuff, renovate, restore etc etc 😳😳
Love the music Brian. 👍 I was guessing it was going to be shelves or something, but that will be a pretty nice looking “boot room” when you get it done. “Future Brian’s problem” I’m going to use that as I put things away to find in the future, like my Christmas decorations. I need to organize them. 😅
How was camping? Enjoyed today’s vlog- what the kids call “Easter eggs” (hidden messages)? No noggins. 😂 McDs =Dan. ( although coffee not bad imo). What year was your Chateau built? Barn is huge. I feel you made 2 mistakes - airing this as Dan will have u building a new boot room next. 😊 2. Pinterest …..didn’t Monique warn you it’s a rabbit hole ? Ok my teasing for today done. Have a great week 😂
How awesome that you have a chateau....love the stonework in the garage/outbuilding.....as your chateau. ps your music choice is great...thanks. when will you be back to Dan's? is he going to take a little break?
Your “boot room” here in the USA is called a “mud room”. Keep up the vlogs and enjoy seeing you on Dan’s channel as well! Hopefully y’all have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Hi Brian I like the concept of the boot/coat room. The farmers around here use a similar concept. Normslly a heated room to hang wet weather gear, boots etc.
What?? No noggins?? 😭......yes I saw that little message. But on a brighter note.....I've always wanted a "mud room"....aka...."boot room".. and fuuny thing. I saw that same picture on Pinterest thinking how awesome that would have been to have when my kids were growing up. I actually still want a smaller version. Good luck on your project. I know you can do it 👍
Me too, we never know in renovation, I keep all my wood cuts which at the end of the day, found an ideal location either on construction or in the wood burner. I am now going for my expresso, too😂
Never throw out wood, just keep it every section of the barn and outside too lol! Love the idea of just a boot room but this will definitely be a great addition.
Oh wow, what a start to your boot room. It will be awesome if the pics are anything to go by, with I am sure a Brian twist. During your video we had glimpses of 'Chateau Brian'. Will you do a house tour at some point please.
More Brian's chateau projects please!! Really enjoyed it, can't wait to see the finished boot room.
Ahh, Brian. Such a refreshing, effortlessly likable (and multi-talented) gent. Thanks for sharing your life perspective... and your music choices. Spot on.
What a fantastic old barn you have there Brian!!!
Congratulations and thank you for mowvember! You are a big part of the reason Dan was able to meet the goal! You are awesome 👏
Collecting wood is actually a hobby of some people. I can vouch that my father has a shed full. Whenever he suggested to my mother that she had too much fabric in her tiny sewing room, she simply raised her eyebrows and pointed at his gigantic shed!
Whoever has the most, wins! I have tons of yarn!😂
Never have too much fabric.
My parents were the same! I had a clearout of fabrics inherited from my Mum & my Granny plus my excess fabrics & some my daughter left at home and I STILL have way too much fabric...oh and yarn too!
My Dad collects old Tractors and my Mom collects loom for weaving. Every time there was a new tractor there would be a new loom within a week or so. They are both in their 90s now and the same rules still apply.
The stone wall is beautiful 😍
Thank you 🤗

It will nice to see your place for a change not just the garage
Agree. Would like to see more of your chateau please?
Me three but I do understand Dan gets many uninvited to his Chateau. But if you feel safe Brian yes pls.
I would like to see more of that lovely big barn.
“Never throw out wood”. Great advice. I made the same decision some years ago for the same reasons.
There is a rule " Stuff will expand to fill the available space" great vlog, thanks Brian.
It’s happened in my kitchen too.
First time I have seen your chateau. That is a cool looking home. Will look great when your are finished.😊
Great idea for the boot room 😊 I love Pinterest for projects, recipes, and traveling ideas. I liked the " No noggins" on your saw.
Cant wait to see it finished and love the wall behind you such a cute little window there also
Best music I agree! It's looking good Brian!
Wood always has a use😀
“work smarter not harder…..” and how many times do we forget that😉
You have the best music of any vlog on RUclips. I love the music!
Just what I thought
I was going to say the same thing!
I have to mute it sometimes and put subtitles on. I can't stand jazz. Saxophones make my flesh crawl.
Dan had the best music when he worked alone and had nobody to converse with.
I agree. I wish I knew who the artists and song titles were.
I absolutely agree!
Yes! Always enjoy your personal projets, here's to regular Brian's château series 🥂
Such a good idea to have a dedicated area for entering from the outside. The photo you shared looked quite pleasing and very needed.
We call that a mud room in the US
Great to see you doing work for yourself in your own chateau. Looking forward to seeing the finished project …………… whenever. Chilled music 😊
You're going to be so happy when you get it finished. Nice addition. 👍
You have a great sense of humour Brian! Good on yo mate!
Its great to see you doing stuff around your chateau!! Thank you!!
Bonjour d'Occitanie
Après l'espace que vous construisez, pour vous changer, il ne manquera plus que d’installer la buanderie dans la même pièce.
..".............coffee...........". gosh that was the line I needed! Now having coffee, thank you sir
Great vlog Brian. You are a joy to watch and listen to as well
Not sure if anyone else feels the same but it’s cool hanging out with you while you’re working on your own place too. It’s like being around someone you’ve known for years 😅 that’s crazy since we’ve never met in person.
Looking forward to seeing the finished boot room. Enjoy your time with friends and see you tomorrow.❤❤❤
Thanks Brian. It was lovely to have a glimpse inside your home. Could we have the full tour one day please?
Let it be. If Brian wants you to see it, he’ll show it. Who are you to invite yourself in?
@@joyce-el7ixan interested viewer. If we don’t ask, how will he know we’re interested? He doesn’t have to show us, we didn’t barge in.
@@joyce-el7ix Of course we'd love to see Brian's place. He set up his channel because he wants people to watch. Having seen that enormous outhouse, I'm dying to see the rest of the place.

An excellent start! Enjoy your evening and see you next time x
Love your château 😘. Anna and Philip (How to Renovate A Château) did a similar design for their boot room. Could open a coffee bar in your barn 😂😂
There is something I really like about you. I could listen to you all day. your videos are fun to watch because you never use slowmo or fastmo. Of which some other guy uses to much..
I really feel like I am sharing your thought process and wisdom. btw Princess Bride forever!
Who is following you with the camera?
Um.....yes he kind of does fastmo. Lol....when he was building the boot room thingy.
Work smarter not harder Brian! Love it!! Talking to myself… I give myself those little pep-talks all as well. Cheers Brian from the northwest corner of the United States.. 🇺🇸
So happy to see the noggings. I really missed them🎉🎉🎉
Hey Brian, as long as we have winter, collecting wood is a good thing to do. I love the picture of the boot room; I have no doubt your will be better than that. Have you given us a tour of your "Chateau".... if I missed, I am sorry. Enjoy your dinner. Love from N.Y.

Good idea Brian! It's already looking good. I hope that you can finish this tomorrow. 💋
I love your humour… “cos that’s a problem for future Brian “!! Me too!! 😂😂😂
Brian, I love your choice of music, that slow jazz brings back so many wonderful memories of my now deceased partner and I slow dancing in the kitchen after cleaning the kitchen up after a nice meal. Thank you again for bringing back these memories. I truly enjoy watching your vlogs.

THAT is gonna look soooo good, when it's done...😊
I like the cladding vertical.. over the pond when horizontal, they call it ship lathe and do accent walls in it!
Mud room is something Brian needs for his grubbies when coming in from bike rides, etc. Looking good Brian. I couldn't help but wonder how you got it level without Nick's directions on which way to move the board! Lol!

Hi, it looks like you have quite a sizeable property there ! Nice ! I love your Irish accent, but would love to hear how you sound speaking French.
Loved the boot room project! And always the music and photography
Good job, Brian! Great music as always.
Cheers.
The Barn or warehouse-whatever. Huge! My hubs would die for something that big to keep
All of his toys in. ❤
Your house looks amazing with loads of space, wish you didn't have to think about security so much and could show us more. I love that workshop area - could go mad in there creating all sorts of nonsense!
Perfect thing for boots n stuff.
Look lovely in a heritage paint colour like Farrow & Ball do, or French equivalent 😊
I'd have been very surprised if you didn't make a coffee stop. I also enjoy the occasional Mac stop 😁
We call that area a mud room. Loved the music, as always!
Hi Brian 👋😊
The pint thingy looks really good and I am sure with your additional touch will be great.
I confess when you said you would get it done today I was shaking my head saying "No Brian you won't" not because I don't have faith in you but more because even a professional on his own couldn't finish that in what amounts to half a day after the shopping trip.
Ok I may or may not watch a lot of channels that build stuff, renovate, restore etc etc 😳😳
I like that all your errands and such include stopping for a coffee or something to eat. That’s how I roll.
Looking good Brian and the music was great. I can't wait to see the finished product
Never throw away wood! I built a cat castle from scratch this summer...
Good hint Brian ❤
Love your opening music. Love smooth Jazz. I think that doing construction at the Chateau has likely got a bug in you to do something to your place.
Yes, more of Brian's chateau! Love the boot room idea x
It’s going to be wonderful! Tidy and organised to your needs. Plus out to lunch and then out to dinner? I’d call that a full days work😉😉😳😳😳👏👏👏🙏🏻
Well done Brian!! Looking forward you your finished product , tomorrow!
Your project is already looking great.
I love the stone wall in your last shot… it’s beautiful!!😊
Nice job on the new build for your boot room , going to look Parfait Brian😘
Love the music Brian. 👍
I was guessing it was going to be shelves or something, but that will be a pretty nice looking “boot room” when you get it done.
“Future Brian’s problem”
I’m going to use that as I put things away to find in the future, like my Christmas decorations. I need to organize them. 😅
Nice project, Brian! Looking forward to seeing how it comes along!
LOVE YOUR IDEA FOR THE BOOT ROOM and can’t wait to see your progress.. Your home is gorgeous ✅✅✅✅✅
How was camping? Enjoyed today’s vlog- what the kids call “Easter eggs” (hidden messages)?
No noggins. 😂 McDs =Dan. ( although coffee not bad imo).
What year was your Chateau built? Barn is huge. I feel you made 2 mistakes - airing this as Dan will have u building a new boot room next. 😊 2. Pinterest …..didn’t Monique warn you it’s a rabbit hole ? Ok my teasing for today done. Have a great week 😂
Bri - Great choice Smooth Jazz and Pinterest's Mud Room!!!
How awesome that you have a chateau....love the stonework in the garage/outbuilding.....as your chateau. ps your music choice is great...thanks. when will you be back to Dan's? is he going to take a little break?
Your “boot room” here in the USA is called a “mud room”. Keep up the vlogs and enjoy seeing you on Dan’s channel as well! Hopefully y’all have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
The mad Pinterest idea is going to look amazing when you finish. Love the dark grey colour too. 💕🇦🇺
Hi Brian I like the concept of the boot/coat room. The farmers around here use a similar concept. Normslly a heated room to hang wet weather gear, boots etc.
I almost spit out my drink when i saw the "no noggings" mark on the table saw... 😂😂😂😂
Fab music from the start, thanks
That’s going to look great and also super useful!!
Love everything about your videos. Music, future Brian! Your easy way of sharing your life with us and your projects.
Going to look great ,must say you are a man of many talents lol. Just love spending time with you 🤗
Oh ma gosh… had no idea you have a chateau too! That’s the best thing I’ve heard today. 🎉
And even if you mean just a house in France that’s just as good 😊
Not a bad start to your project! Nice to know we may see your house. Cheers-
Wow!!! When do we get a walk through!!!!!! You have a big place!!!
What?? No noggins?? 😭......yes I saw that little message.
But on a brighter note.....I've always wanted a "mud room"....aka...."boot room".. and fuuny thing. I saw that same picture on Pinterest thinking how awesome that would have been to have when my kids were growing up. I actually still want a smaller version. Good luck on your project. I know you can do it 👍
Boot rooms are such an asset.
Brian you're a man after my own heart. If you saw my garage you might say I'm a hoarder of wood but can't throw good wood away
I love the silly way you are doing this. Kinda pulling together so much love as well as historical vibes with exceptional music. I approve lovelies!
Good design idea, I think you'll get a lot of use out of it.
Just found your blog and love love love it. Can't wait for additional ones. Great job.
Anyone that likes to tinker will always have a spot for his treasures.. good video
Love the music choices. Looking forward to seeing the boot room finished. Nice to see other parts of your property 😍😘
That click woodcsystem called tongue in groove here in Queensland.
U.s.a. also.😊
And New Zealand ❤
@@christinehogan1523 I'm in the UK and we have Tongue & Groove which fits together but it doesn't do the click. I think thats a modern thing
Tongue AND groove in Canada
Same here, I keep all my off cuts
(Seriously it's just like watching myself)
Me too, we never know in renovation, I keep all my wood cuts which at the end of the day, found an ideal location either on construction or in the wood burner.
I am now going for my expresso, too😂
Tongue and groove!😊
I have so enjoyed watching you work at your home. Looking forward to seeing more.
Never throw out wood, just keep it every section of the barn and outside too lol! Love the idea of just a boot room but this will definitely be a great addition.
‘Future Brian’ made a brilliant vlog tonight 😊
I love that “future Brian” I plan on stealing it but, future Mary just leaves herself things to put away in the future😢
Doing things for yourself is so satisfying. Fantastic musical accompaniment. Super as always 😊
Been waitin' for ya !
Oh wow, what a start to your boot room. It will be awesome if the pics are anything to go by, with I am sure a Brian twist. During your video we had glimpses of 'Chateau Brian'. Will you do a house tour at some point please.
I had a chuckle at the “no noggins” on the circular saw …😂
Franz Gordon's, The French Library is a lovely piece of music.
