Just wanted to say a quick thank you to Stuart in appreciation of the wonderful recording and editing job he does. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Best, Steph
Thank you Steph. ❤. I love and appreciate your comment more than you can imagine. And I agree with you 100%. All the details and his creativity is just fantastic. Much love from Colombe. 🥰💕🥰
Thank you, Stephanie! 💕😊
I totally agree!
Indeed -- the building of the scaffolds/mounting finials music was very "Game of Thrones" -- epic music for a project with an epic outcome -- that view from the center window down the allee is just everything!
@@WallaceLEddy@Journey to the Chateau “ I wholeheartedly agree ! “ “ Gentlemen ~ Stuart & Patrick, I appreciatively, have been watching your Vlogs, as they have come up in my RUclips feed ! It is because of Stuart’s editing expertise & epic music scores ~ I’m binge watching your channel, with delight ~ Thank You for sharing your Curriculum Vitae’s ~ Absolutely Impressive ! Gentlemen, You Are Powers Of Examples, of everything creative, and beyond ! It goes without saying, Patrick’s “ Sunny Disposition “ & “ Professional Expertise “ & Stuart’s Kind, Respectful Demeanour, Award Winning Videography, Editing Skills, and Epic Music Score Magic, are magnets in attracting creative likeminded people ! During my Binge Watching, I’m learning new recipes, learning how to group pictures, and how to enhance the aesthetics of our Home ! Kind Sirs, “ Thank You “ 🏰 🥰 👑
Is there nothing you two can’t do? You’ve done in a year they many owners do in five! All the shenanigans y’all get up to are helping me smile right now. Why is Tony always dressed like he’s going somewhere. A button down shirt,sweater, and dress slacks!🤣 The rest of us show up looking homeless! Wow…the gates command respect now! They are stunning!! I’m soo happy for you guys. Hugs, Doc❤
Oh Doc. You are sooooo kind. Thank you so much. We don’t have the time to watch many other channels anymore but I remember that some people were very slow, even while using professionals behind the scenes. 😂😂😂.
Tony does look like he’s going to high tea. I relate to the homeless look 🤣😂🤣. That’s absolutely me. Glad you like the now grand gates. Love from Colombe. 💖💕💖
I greatly admire Stuart for always acknowledging the folks who do the work and not stealing the credit. I know how much you do behind the scenes, which is seldom acknowledged. 👏
I love the fairy 🧚♂️ lights ✨️ and rainbows 🌈 created by your chandelier... so hypnotic.
So nice of you to say. Thank you Edward! 💕😊
Dear Edward. We realized that many people in the chateau world pretend. We show what we do and where we have help. That’s just being real and honest. And I find it truly refreshing that people like you see that. Credit, where credit is due!
There is a lot of work we do that is not filmed….. why bother people into boredom 😂😂😂. I really love your comment. Thank you. 😘💖😘
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 I agree totally Patrick so many chateau Vandals drives me crazy seeing them destroy history just for the sake of making money .I have stopped watching these videos .
Tony to the rescue. The day you met him as well as Jane was certainly a mega step forward. Tony has such incredible skill and expertise. The pillars look amazing.
So true. Thank you. I enjoyed repairing the crumbling pillars. Very satisfying. 😊
Patrick,
I’ve been told that the reason that cement breaks up the stone, is because cement absorbs moisture like a sponge . When the moisture in the cement freezes, it expands and fractures the stone around it. It’s actually a violent process that exerts a lot of force.
I’m glad that you’ve chosen these finials. They make a grand statement , which a front approach should have... Especially the way you’ve elegantly restored the metal gates.
Hi Jamie. I think you got this 100% spot on. It is quite frustrating to the level of devastation that causes.
The finials are wonderful and I am glad you like them too. Great entrance for a chateau that slowly comes back into its former glory. Hugs from Colombe. ❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 👍🏻 😊
I agree! The urns are the perfect proportions and look as if they’ve always belonged there. Bravo!!
My dear Jeff. Thank you very much. So glad you like them. Hugs as always from Colombe. 😘😘😘
Tony and Jane are the best! The gates looks wonderful.
Indeed they are ❤❤❤. Glad you like the restored entrance. 😊😊😊
Good morning Patrick & Stuart, I must say, gates do make a good impression of your property no matter where you live! I had a good look at the detail of the metal gates, and they are very fitting to the Chateaux. The finials are the best you could have chosen, they compliment the gates and bring character to the Chateaux. Tony is so reliable and Jane loves to get involved in many ways, they are a blessing to have as friends, I think they are more than "just friends"!! So there, you have done a project which you never have to put your hand to again unless somebody smashes into your gates, hardly unlikely. I am sure you will mange your three projects you wish to work on as I can procrastinate but suddenly I get this spring inside me and I can make up for loss time. The chandelier did cast many delightful rainbow specs on the walls it's lovely and very calming for the late afternoon. Happy days, enjoy all your projects awaiting, you will accomplish them all. Do take care and be alert. It was a most enjoyable video, it was nice to see what's happening in France on your property, thank you for sharing. Kind regards, Elize.
Thank you so much, Elize! ❤️
You did a lot of work in the pillars. It’s hard to think how much damage cement can do. I’m looking at the cement between the stones of my basement wall with a very jaundiced eye right now. Thank you Patrick.
It was quite a lot of work and well worth the effort. Before we actually saw it with our own eyes, we heard about it. But getting our hands on it was quite a different. Now, I believe that granit is different. But all porous stones will deteriorate. Love your comment. 😊
Oh my guys! The finials are just gorgeous, and you’re right Patrick, they look like they’ve always been there. Tony is just the best friend you can both have.
Thank you very much. they do look so pretty. And indeed..... Tony is a gem (as well as Jane). Hugs and thank you again.
The urns look perfect. The whole ensemble is a fitting entrance to the chateau. You were so lucky to meet Jane and Tony, lovely people, true friends.
It is a fantastic transformation. We love the new entrance and it looks like it was there for 300 years. And we were lucky indeed. Just had a meeting this morning for a special day in GB in a few weeks. Planning the big day. Such fun. Hugs from Colombe. ❤❤❤
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Don't tell me you've been invited to the coronation ♥ If you are coming over in a vehicle and are anywhere close to West Berkshire we have spare plants we could donate as we are currently refreshing a couple of areas of the garden.
Love love love the rainbows caused by the chandelier prisms ….. magical❤
Thank you! We love it! 💕
Majestic is how the finials make the entire gate look!! Wow, what a video!! Stuart & Patrick, Tony & Jane, you'all are phenomenal as a team!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much. It does look quite grand now 😊😊😊. I love looking at it. The four of us are quite a team. Love your comment. ❤❤❤
Wow the sun shining through the crystals,just magical.
Isn’t it wonderful? We have that every morning and late afternoon. I absolutely love it magical is the perfect word. Thank you. 🌈💖🌈
Hello Gentlemen... so my three observations. The refracted light in the entrance hall from the chandelier was just magical... beautiful. I can actually hear you Patrick laughing and saying to Stuart... "look at that"! The refurbishment of the entrance gate pillars is so spot on from the repair of the top base to the addition of those spectacular urns... such a grand entrance and enhancement so wonderful with the style of the Chateau... and the pillars no longer look like "Madonnas müde Großmutter". Thirdly... we know that the fraction of time we see on the videos is surround by many more hours... perhaps days and weeks... of time consuming hard work... so again, thank you for sharing in your unique, friendly and upbeat way. We truly enjoy sharing it with you.
Such a lovely comment. Thank you so much, James! 💕😍👍
Dearest James. I agree with Stuart….. what a wonderful and thoughtful comment. Thank you very much. The crystals give us that performance twice every day. Fantastic! And I say exactly what you thought to Stuart, or the dogs. Cannot help myself. 😂.
You made me laugh with Madonna’s müde Großmutter. Fabulous. They look splendid now. I wish I could say the same. 🤔😆🤪
And finally, you are right. It takes Stuart 20-30 hours each week to edit the videos and filming etc takes time. He is amazing. The fact that you know what is involved just feels like a hug in itself. Thank you for your kindness and support. It means a lot to us. Love from Colombe. 😘💕💖
Fantastic! As you said the finials look like they have always been there. Again Tony to the rescue. Great shots of the front gates and Allee from both vantage points. Thank you so much for sharing all of you accomplishments. Hugs to all stay well.
Thank you Ina. It is a lot of fun working with Tony! We love how the gates now look. Fantastic statement. ❤😊❤
Getting scale and proportion right can sometimes be a tricky business but you two got it right and the urns turned out to be a beautiful addition to the entrance gate pillars.
Thank you, Jerry! 💕
Hi Jerry. You describe that perfectly. We were about 50% certain that we got the size right. I feared the urns would be too big. Now that they are up there, I admire them every morning. Coffee in hand I stand there like a kid loving how they look 😂😮😂.
We thank you very much for your wonderful comment. Hugs from Colombe. 😘💖😘
Dear Patrick & Stuart,
I am winded just keeping up with you both, !
What amazing accomplishments going on at the chateaux !
More whiskey is well deserved for you ! Lol ! ❤
Working hard at my job also. A restaurant is always a challenge and always busy just when you think it isnt . I much prefer what you both have been up too. What rewarding work. I just love it !
What a dream come true to be seeing all of you're ideas coming into fruition.
I just recently notice my name in the vlog credits. How truly honored I am to be there. Thankyou so much for the shoutout.
Much, much love and hugs you're way !
Great work my friends ! ❤❤❤ 😘 🌴🌉🌉🌴
Thank you so much, Matt! 💕😘😘
The urns are a great choice to top off your gate posts. It's good you two are decisive. I would have been wallowing in confusion for a decade. Every little step is thrilling.
Thank you very much. We were decisive ordering them…… and then, having them in the outbuilding….. ohhhhh. We were doubtful. We thank you for your confidence in us. Now that they are up there we are amazed that we ever doubted our decision. Much love from Colombe. 🥰💕🥰
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 Believe me, "in the outbuilding" resonates with me. I have 2 40x50 pristine, well sealed barns full of future projects. 🤦♀️😆
Hi guys I really enjoyed this video. Firstly thank you to your dear friends Tony and Jane who are a great support to you both.
The finials and gate are just marvellous to see and it was great to watch how it all came together .
Patrick darling, I’m being a bit naughty now lol when you appeared with the tractor and the finial on it and I couldn’t help but laugh as with the fast forwarding and the music you reminded me of either a Gladiator or a Knight getting ready for battle lol. I hope I have not offended you but it’s meant in jest. Xx😂🇨🇮
Happy weekend Sheila. 😊. Indeed, Jane and Tony are such great friends and a wonderful support.
Love the completed gates. Enjoy it every time I look at them.
You are not naughty at all. With the music I thought the same thing 😂😂😂. It looked like a Monty Python’s sketch 😂🤣😂. Thank you very much and much love from Colombe. 😊
Oh wow… the gates,the pillars and the urns are so gorgeous.
What an amazing statement it all makes!
You all are to be commended… You did an amazing job! 👍🏻
Thank you very much Jeanie. It is truly a statement. 😊😊😊. It was a great improvement and a fun project. Hugs from Colombe. 😘💖😘
WOW! The gates and its finials look amazing! Fantastic!! The Urns fit perfectly! Bravo!💕
Thank you very much Donna. ❤😊❤
The entire entrance looks amazing. You are right, they look like they have always been there.
Another great vlog👍😍
Thank you very much Melina. Looking at the gates now is just amazing. Hugs. ❤❤❤
Dear Patrick and Stuart, the finials are very beautiful and fit perfectly with the age of the chateau. Stuart you do such a good job with these videos. The dancing prism reflections were so beautiful and I love the music you choose. I’m amazed by how much you accomplish together each week. Your friendship with Tony and Jane is truly a blessing and well deserved. I’m sure they feel the same. Sending hugs xx
Dear Stephanie. Thank you very much. We are impressed by how wonderful this all turned out. Since this is a first for many projects……. We are always grateful when things come together easily.
Is shows that Stuart is an artist. I too love how he put the vlogs together. He spends about 20-30 hours each week on the editing. We cherish our friendship with Tony and Jane. They are truly remarkable people. Hugs to you and your loved ones. 🥰💖🥰
Congratulations the urn's have completed the entrance to the chateau beautifully look's wonderful.💕🌼🤗
This episode can also have the title ; Our diy with Tony again.Great idea Tony!!
This was saving costs,and we all know Patrick and Stuart do have a lot of costs.
All true. 😊
Oh my!! The finials/urns are
beautiful!! Great work all of you.
What a statement.
Thank you very much. It is a statement and we worked perfectly together. Happy weekend from Colombe. ❤❤❤
Hi Patrick and Stuart wow this was a great job they look splendid definitely set the gates off well done to tony as well he’s definitely a handy person to have around and it is nice to see people taken pride in what they do and to keep the way the chateau used to be and definitely a heads up to Stuart with all the vlogs and editing it’s not easy and people don’t realise how much time goes into making these videos it can be very time consuming see you on the next one
Thank you so much, kiethee! 💕👍
I just love your comment. Indeed, Stuart puts in about 25-30 hours each week editing the videos. I couldn’t do it. 😮. So glad you see the work that it takes. ❤❤❤. Tony is such a joy to work with. Fantastic. And the gates now are just amazing. Love from us at Colombe. 💕😘💕
Тони и Патрик проделали хирургическую операцию!😃а ворота сваренные Тони просто класс!
Hi Tatyana. Thank you so much. What a great comment. ❤❤
Majestic finials mounted by a Charlie Chaplin performance 😂 so funny. They look fabulous along with the beautiful gates 😊
😂🤣😂 love the Charlie Chaplin bit. Soooo true. Glad you like them. We now have majestic gates and we love them 😊😊😊. Happy weekend and thank you. ❤😊❤

Oh my...how magical seeing the chandelier crystals dancing those beautiful rainbows in the entrance hallway.
It is truly magical. And because the chateau is built North to South, we have this in the morning and afternoon. Thank you so much. ❤
The new addition of the urns/finials on top of the pillars turned out FANTASTIC! Love them
Tony and Jane are great friends. The entrance now is regal for you beautiful château. The whole place is smiling at all the love your home is receiving.
I love the back drop in your kitchen. You both are amazing at what you have accomplished in such a short time.
I enjoy your channel so much.?❤❤❤
Thank you so much Mags. 🥰😘🥰. They are wonderful. In fact we are going to a huge Brocante tomorrow together. 🎉. The entrance is truly grand now. We love it.
You know, now that you said it, I think you are right. The chateau seems to be smiling again.
The kitchen backdrop is so elegant but down to earth I think. What a lovely comment. Hugs. 😊❤😊
Even with unfinished walls the prisms look like tinker bell flitting about the world ❤
Isn’t that amazing. Every morning and evening……. It is such a gorgeous spectacle. 😊❤😊
Patrick and Stuart, what a fine job you did on those finials/urns, of course, not forgetting an assist from Tony and Jane. They look spectacular, as if they were there all along. Great job!!
Thank you, Edward! 😀😀
Thank you very much. I think so too. Looking up at them……. They were,want for here. 😊. Love from Colombe. ❤
They are so wonderful and look great on each side of the gates! Love to gold paint on the gates. Just enough to add class.
Thank you Cindy. They look so regal but playful ❤❤. Glad you like the transformation. 😘💕😘
LOVE the column finials you chose!!! Absolutely perfect!! 💫
The finials look like they have been there for years! They are perfect!
Thank you so much! They are looking weathered and appropriate. Love your comment. Huge hugs from Colombe. 👍🏻💕👍🏻
oh the reflection of the chandelier, the rainbow beams are that magical that I would have to do a dance of the fairies every time I went through . The gates look magnificent. Good old Tony and Jane.
Thank you Tracy. It is truly magical 😊😊😊. 🌈. And twice each day. Fantastic. The gates….. oh how nice this now is. And we are lucky to have the wonderful friendship with Tony and Jane. Hugs from Colombe. ❤😊❤
Congratulations you did it ! The gates look perfect I really like your choice for so many things .
Thank you. You are very kind. We are very grateful for your great comments. Hugs from Colombe. ❤❤
Your pillars are outstanding with the new finials! Great job boys!
Thank you! 💕
Thank you so much Terry. So kind of you. 🥰💕🥰. Hugs from Colombe.
Gread job guys...Tony is such a good friend to help you install the headpiece. I like the decor and it gives the entrance amore grand status. I know you have so much more to do at the Chateau, but reminder yourselves that each repair or restoring you do is a step forward👍 and you have a good planning when and what to do. You know thw saying: Rome wasn't build in a day😊 happy weekend hugs 🥰🥰
Thank you so much, Gonnie! Have a great weekend! ❤️🥰
Hi there Gonnie. I now have a better idea of how to pronounce your name properly. Ha! Love the sound.
Tony is just great. It does look pretty grand now. 😊😊.
You are right. Every repair or project is a step forward. Once the first bathroom renovation is done, we can actually invite people who want to help us. That will be a huge help.
Now, indeed, Rome….. but I’m not a patient person. 😂😂😂😂. Love your comment, as always. Love from us and the fur babies at Colombe. ❤😊❤
I love the light from the chandelier
Isn’t that wonderful. Every morning and late afternoon……. This was a gift from Iris and Sylvia for Christmas. They picked the perfect chandelier. We are blessed. Hugs. ❤😊❤
STUNNING .💜 .
Jane and Tony are WONDERFUL FRIENDS ❤️.
These columns look fabulous.❤️
Thank you very much. ❤❤❤
Tony and Jane are wonderful. The urns are perfection! ♥️🇫🇷🏰
The gate looks fantastic, gentlemen. Epic indeed, Patrick.
Thank you so much Glenn. You are so kind. ❤. I am out with the dogs every morning. Coffee in hand, looking at the gates in the sun. Absolutely lovely. Have a great weekend my friend. Hugs. 💕💖💕
The race was worth it! It looks so grand! What a blessing Tony and Jane are. Well one.
Thank you so much. And indeed, they are such great friends. Hugs
Jane and Tony are Godsends aren't they! What a feat getting those toppers up there, plus all the prep work. Very stately looking. Love it. Love and missing you guys. ❤️ The videos keep you close though. Take care.
Wow, aren’t friends GREAT ! Who would have thought one year ago you’d have these dear friends who have become so special, talented and amazing! What a blessing to ALL 4 of you❤ Totally enjoyed seeing how this came together!! STUNNING❤🎉 23:13
Hey Katie. WOW, you have this 100% spot on. It is so true. We feel blessed and yet another project that we tackled as a team. And indeed, friends are fantastic. Thank you so very much. ❤❤❤
Patrick, I love ❤ your musical selection for today’s video: it lends such majesty , dare I say, a victorious 🎉🎉 flavour to the proceedings. 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much. You are very kind. Much love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
Yes the finials are Epic & so are you two. So great that Tony can help too. The tulips are gorgeous 💐
Good on Tony and Jane coming to the rescue to help with the installation of those tops for the gate pillars! It all looks great. Well done scaffolding towers and blue tractor! Have a super weekend. Best, David on Saturday morning down under.
Good morning my dear David. Hope all is well. Tony had the perfect solution for the installation. It truly went without any drama or problems. We adore them.
It looks amazing now. Love from Colombe and have a great weekend. 😊😊😊
Gasp! I absolutely love the finials. You picked the perfect ones!
We think so too. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I’m still a bit speechless, when I look at them up there. 😘🥂😘
I meant, urns!
Adding concrete to stone has the same effect that happens when you us spray insulation. It expands and unlike foam installation concrete doesn’t give with the pressure the stone does which start out as micro cracks that over time of holding in all the moisture and expanding more and more it destroys the stone from the inside to the outside. I really hope more people around the world learn from all of the destruction done to the chateau’s. Respect the history of the building because they got something right. Look how long the buildings, chateau’s, and even walls in the gardens have survived and will survive even my grandchildren’s grandkids.
But your entrance now looks just magical fantastic
Isn’t it amazing? Thank you. ❤❤❤
Tony is worth keeping! Your videos are so interesting and entertaining, binge-worthy!
Those finials are absolutely perfect. Don't you love it when a plan comes together?!!!! Well done 😁
Thank you Vicki. We feel lucky to have found them 😊. It was truly a great day. All came together and it went 100% smoothly. Fantastic. We do love it when all comes together and with ease. Hugs from Colombe. ❤
I actually clapped when the pillows were completed with the Urns.. it looks so good.
Hi guys, I love your finials, they look fantastic and your right they look as if they have always been there, Tony and Jane are such good friends and are so happy to help out, everything is starting to come together, I love your channel and I adore the two of you, much love xxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 23:13
Thank you, Stella! ❤️
Tony just had no fear whatsoever of heights wow he is just Great
Hi Pat. Indeed he is. The two of us could be brothers. 😊. Love them. ❤❤❤
Wow, guys, those finials really complete the columns very well. What a difference! Just beautiful. Kudos to you both, and Tony, you're incredible. You said it was epic this week, and you were correct.
I hope you both have a beautiful weekend and do something fun for yourselves. Hi, and hugs to all the fur babies. Take care, with love from Canada. ❤
Thank you so much Peter. It is quite unbelievable what a difference the finials make. Seeing them on the floor in the garage was one thing….. but up there, they actually look less intimidating 😂.
I hope you have a great weekend too. We went to a plant sale of a little village. Now it’s back to work all afternoon. But tomorrow is a large Brocante market. So exciting. Hugs my friend. 😊❤😊
Patrick and Stuart …….drumroll…….You are almost at 20,000 subscribers! Yeah! Keep up the great updates. And I honestly can’t believe you did all that work on the stone pilars at the entrance. Seriously! I thought for sure you’d hire someone. You are both amazing.
Hi Donna. Yay. We are slowly growing thanks to great people like you. ❤🎉❤. We will reach almost 2 million views soon as well. 😮👍🏻🤫.
We never did anything like the stone work but learning new skills is great. I guess we do take pride in doing the renovations ourselves rather than hiring someone. Of course, there are limitation 😂. I love your comment. Thank you so much. Hugs from Colombe. 💕😘💕
Magnifique - congratualtions Stuart and Patrick, but also Tony, which supports the saying, "it takes a village". Love your vlog.
Merci Caroline. 😊😊😊. And you are right, it takes a village and in this case, we love our neighbors. 😘. Love from Colombe. ❤❤❤
The gates and urns frame the chateau beautifully ❤
Thank you Irene. You put that perfectly. Huge hugs. 💖🥰💖
Stuart, the prisms that reflected on the wall from the light you captured from the chandelier was spectacular! Good job installing the finial today....good job! I loved your "pffft" description Patrick, it covers a lot of ground! Now to mention the finials that are "heavier than your Mother", Patrick.....that was a super idea that Tony had and it worked like a charm!!! CONGRATULATIONS Team on using rapid speed with the quick setting adhesive !!! The entrance looks fantastic!
Thank you, Norma! 💕
Norma, what a fantastic comment. And they are about 30 pounds heavier than my mom 😂🤣😂. So glad you like them and the episode. Love from Colombe. 😊😊😊
They look absolutely fabulous!
Thank you John ❤. Glad you love them. They are splendid. Have a great weekend and we so appreciate your comments and support. 💕💖💕
The urns look like they belong there from the beginning! And the view down the alles is magical! Well done y'all! Tony is a freaking genius! Much love and prayers.
Thank you! 💕
Dear Melissa. Thank you so much. They truly look like they were always there. When I look out the window in the hall, I am amazed…… many times each day. Gates, allee, and we are actually living here……. 😮. And Tony is just amazing. Love and a great weekend from Colombe .
Now that’s what I call finials! Anything smaller would look what my family calls mimsy pimsy!
Ohhhh .... BRAVA!! 💕
Ah, the blue beauty is useful again. What a great look for those huge gate posts.
Indeed. My best blue friend. 😅😂😅. Thank you so much. Hugs. 😊😊😊
Hi Patrick & Stuart, I really like the new larger finials that you purchased for the front gates. They certainly ad to and enhance the entrance to the courtyard. I'm enjoying following your vlog and the progress you are making in the Chateau. Mark & Scott
The music in your introduction makes me smile every time!
Wow! What a difference those finials make! You would not think it would. I love the way the gateway looks now.😍
Sonia, I feel exactly the same way. Isn’t it amazing? We love the way it looks all together. Thank you so much. 😊❤😊
Yes, agree with Stephanie's comment. Stuart, You do an excellent job on the videos. Content, editing, dialog, music, the works. 💪 👍👏👏🥰
Thank you, Gloria! ❤️🥰😘xx
It was a team effort and the finials look fabulous!
It took a village. And it was such a fun project. All turned out perfectly. No one got hurt and the result is amazing. Love from Colombe and thank you so much. 🥰😘🥰
I think that was the perfect choice for the columns they look as though they have always been there.
The Urns look absolutely gorgeous and definitely look in place .. well done Thankyou Tony an x Jane for being great friends and Tony for his skills and knowledge 👏 😅.. ❤ Hello babies 🐕
Hi there. 😊. Thank you. Glad you like them. Glad they are in place now. 🎉🎉🎉
Indeed, they are just dear friends and I think they know how much we appreciate them.
Fur babies are all discombobulated. 3 girls in heat (separated from the rest) and the boys all hormonal too. No puppies please. 😮😊😮. Hugs from Colombe
@@patrickjourneytothechateau9452 oh my what fun at the Chateau with the babies hope they are behaving 🤣🤣🤣
Finials are perfect, beautiful. Well done.
Thank you so much. ❤😊❤
OH! Those urns are so gorgeous! Very impressive indeed but I held my breath watching them go up. Excellent job gentlemen- you make quite a trio! Your like the 3 Musketeers
Thank you!
Hi Kathy. I love your 3 musketeers image. ❤❤❤. So glad you like them. I’m in awe, every day. Hugs from Colombe. 💕🥰👍🏻
Wow! Wow! Wow! I just love you two and have followed you from your first RUclips. You both are the perfect combination of creativity, research, applying your varying talents, teamwork, individuality, compromise, empathy, caring, willingness to listen to others (especially Tony and Jane!), dedication to each other and to your friends and family, well, I could go on! I look forward to your vlogs each Wednesday and Friday. This project--what could go wrong?--falling finials, falling scaffolding, falling men, fast hardening glue but, "Big Blue with the Jaws of Life" comes through! Lastly, I always listen for Patrick's "Oh, Good Lord" and "I digress" - and Stuart's patient plowing ahead with the story line! All the best to you both!
Thank you, patricia!
Gates and the new pedestals look so very nice! Thank goodness for Tony! He’s a jewel to help you guys out - I am sure he loves it. Some of us are natural born helpers and hard workers. Again, is there anything you two can’t do?
Thank you Annette. Tony is amazing and we work really well as a team. Hugs from Colombe.
The finials look amazing!
Hank you so very much. Great comment. ❤❤❤
Perfect choice. Look like they could have been there for centuries.
Gents, your finials are f a b u l o u s! Really in concord with the château. Châpeau!! You've done it again!
Thank you so much!💕
Hello my dear Robert. Thank you kindly. What a fantastic comment and compliment all in one. We searched a long time for find the right finials. Happy weekend with much love from Colombe. 🥰💖🥰
You guys are doing a great job.
Thank you very much. What a nice comment. Love it. Very much appreciated. Hugs and a happy weekend from Colombe. 💖😘💖
Your Gate Entrance is lovely, well designed.
Thank you so much. Very kind of you. Hugs
THANKS TONY AND JANE
