- Опубликовано: 9 дек 2023
- Château de Purnon's Louis XVI interiors are heritage listed for their craftsmanship and neoclassical design. Over the centuries many of her grand spaces have been covered in toxic lead paint to reflect changing fashions. In this episode we receive a visit from a representative from Smart Strip, a lead paint removal product, to assist us in starting the huge task of safely removing hundreds of square meters of toxic lead paint.

Hi Everyone - thanks for all your interest in the product. We've added it to our website so you can order easily:

Makes me want to cry in French seeing the original stonework restored. It really does make the room look even larger than it looked before and the texture and stone shapes really brings out the symmetry and brighten the space up.
Exactly. Thank you for your comment and interest.
I'm so excited to say I've seen an orb move, time stamped 15:26 as she's talking about removing the lead paint from the patch done previously, through the doorway behind her close to the floor you can see the orb move from behind her into the room she is standing in. I'm not saying it's haunted but it definitely has a spirit.... Which is beautiful to witness ❤. To me it signifies the previous owners are happy to have their beloved chateau restored ❤
Time stamp is 8:43...I was too excited and put the wrong time stamp 😉
The paint removal created such a change to the entrance. But, wow! What a change to the outside. The right side of the chateau during the introduction was incredible. The chateau will look magnificent when it the outside restoration is done.
Thank you - the progress our artisans have made on the facades and roof is incredible ... we are water tight on the eastern side now which is wonderful!
Amazing. I need to see if we have such a product in Australia. I have a small workers cottage with many layers of paint on windows and trims which are sure to have lead paint somewhere in the mix.
How fortunate that you have this product to safely remove the lead paint. What an enormous task. Love the original color of the stone. Bonne chance 🍀😍😘
This product has quite literally changed everything for us ... knowing that we can now remove hundreds of square meters of peeling toxic paint in areas that we live and return the rooms to their beautiful original stone work is really wonderful.
Felicity, you looked like a proud mama when the architect was so impressed. ❤
Ha it's true I really was! I'm always delighted when he is happy with our work!
Le vestibule va devenir splendide ! Et comme le disait M. Didier : on a effectivement l'impression que les murs soudain respirent. C'est très beau !
merci beaucoup
@ Vous et votre mari faites un travail remarquable. Bravo à vous. C'est toujours un plaisir de regarder vos vidéos.
Je ne sais pas ce qui vous a donné envie de venir vivre en France, mais le pays a eu bien de la chance que vous l'ayez choisi 🙂
Merci de votre travail et de votre présence !
you should have way more subscribers this is true restoration and the building is important
such a shame some channels are literally raking it in and doing nothing with the money but spend it on frippery and travel
@@LomaxYearwoodthethird Agreed! (Gotta say, it's mind boggling to see how that shameless Stephanie woman gets over half a million dollars donated every year, to 'restore' that forgettable chateau and all she does is decorate the bathrooms in trendy paper that costs 1 thousand dollars per role... this historic chateau would be a much more effective use of that kind of money, as it would actually be used to restore a chateau of architectural importance.)
Far more folk want to watch “reality tv” / lifestyle content on any medium than conservation / architecture documentaries. I’m not knocking her entrepreneurial flair in finding and maximising that market, but I certainly do wish Purnon had a more sizeable audience.
Felicity and Tim have no interest in exploiting a fake parasocial relationship with their audience; they’ve entirely centred Purnon as the main “character” - which may be financially less advantageous, but certainly far more efficient for them timewise, and far less intrusive and stressful.
@@bernardkealey6449 One advantage they have over that Stephanie woman, is they actually own a historic building LISTED by the French Government, (they don't pretend and tell viewers it's historic.) The owners of Purnon can get up to an 80% tax refund every year, on the restoration costs... so there's that, (added to the fact that the owner of Purnon could afford to move from Australia and buy a historic chateau, as she is the heiress to a family fortune. That Stephanie woman sold the London flat she got from a divorce settlement and moved from the UK to buy the cheapest chateau she could find, and asked 2 ex boyfriends and her retired parents to help her pay for it.)
@@ItsMe-yv9jdWhat really boggles the mind is that there are so many sick children's hospitals and animal shelters desperate for donations, to try and save lives, and yet so many people choose to donate their money so someone else can live in a castle.
C'est Frédéric Didier l'architecte en chef de Versailles qui s'occupe du chantier, c'est top BRAVO❤❤❤
What an amazing product. The entrance hall is going to look incredible. Can't wait to see how it progresses. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! Yes the product is really quite incredible! We are thrilled with it.
What an enormous job. Well done you.
We have a lot more to remove! But the results are marvellous when we get to stand back and admire the originall colour palate and see the chateau interiors the way they originally looked.
Bonjour a vous , merveilleuse realisation , un grand merci pour votre generosite 💜🙏
Merci pour votre message!
please donate to these people who renovate a beautiful chateau the right way
No shag carpet in the bedrooms then?
They've got a grant
They don’t need donor money.
What an amazing product! Cheers!
It really is!
This is a great product but I cannot imagine how much it would cost to coat all the areas you have in the chateau to do. I am thankful for this video because I’ll need this product soon for a home I’ve inherited. But I’ll probably only need one bucket 😊
We can highly recommend using Smart Strip. It is an incredible product and easy to use.
Stunning stonework! Beautiful! 💖✨🇺🇲
thank you
so happy to see the inside now being worked on. This is great.
The original stone is magnificent!
thank you
Just got my copy of "Chateau Reawakening". Congratulations! It's beautifully written and produced. I'm enjoying it thoroughly. Thank you!
Wow the product did a fantastic job. Even the architect seems impressed with the results. As a fellow Victorian I wish you well on the rest of the journey. I will continue to watch and enjoy the results of your hard work and the teams work
Our architect was thrilled with the results. Thank you for your lovely well wishes and following our journey x
Felicity bravo pour ton français qui s'améliore, impressionnant, il faut laisser respirer la pierre pour avoir quelque chose de stabilisé !
merci!
The natural color and texture of the stone is georgeous
we are thrilled with the result and can't wait to see the entire entrance returned to the beautiful stone
The product works well. Probably safer too. You don't want to inhale lead particles.
We are so impressed with Smart Strip. It works really well and was easy to use! We were so worried about how we were going to strip all the lead paint safely so we are thrilled to have this solution!
Eso de eliminar la pintura con plomo es una tarea tiránica, pero permitirá tener un ambiente más sano y el castillo será más amigable con la salud. Se merecen un gran aplauso por el gran trabajo que están haciendo. Desde Venezuela se les envía saludos y eterna admiración
Gracias por su mensaje. Trabajar con seguridad es muy importante para nosotros. Estamos encantados de que sigas nuestra aventura desde Venezuela.
This is so fascinating to watch! So amazing that such products are available to help remove hazardous materials previously used.
Can't wait to see how you transform the space!
Being a two time cancer survivor I would still mask up doing the stripping. Eye protection as well. What an incredible product 👍 I am concerned where all the waste goes it definitely is toxic especially asbestos. 🤔 🤷♀️
Thanks for your comment. You'll notice in the video that we wear eye protection and gloves to apply and remove the Smart Strip. This is the recommended safety protocol for this product. There was no asbestos on this surface - the paints were lead-based. As explained in the video we had already conducted several tests prior to this demonstration application. The waste that is removed (which peels off as the paper is removed and then scrapped off as a paste, is disposed of like any waste paint product at our local 'dechetterie' (or municipal waste management station). Thanks for following our journey!
@ wonderful 👍 well done.
I think the original is stunning just gorgeous.
That looks like tons work!
Very interesting! That product is going to be very very helpful!
LOVE
So amazing to see all that nasty paint come off. The walls look so much better. Fascinating video.
Thank you
Magnnifique!
My husband is trained in abatement so as to have knowledge of overseeing building projects. Asbestos and lead paint pose no health issues unless they have been disturbed. In both cases that means small particles that may be breathed in and in the case of lead paint is chipping that children and animals may ingest.
Thank you for pointing out the incredibly obvious.
@@idontthinkso666 sadly I think you missed my point utterly.
我常想著你們或許是第一任主人不忍看到農莊破舊再次來修繕你們的财產(佛教的輪回）。祝福你們平安喜樂。
Super produit ! pour 50g de peinture au m² on a 5kg minimum de déchets à enfouir en centre de stockage de déchets ultimes de classe 1 à 500€/t HT et hors transport (par société agréée)
Amazing work! Thank you for sharing.
Huge undertaking to strip the paint.
it is a huge undertaking but we'll do it section by section and it will be incredible once done!
Wonderful. I am happy to see that
thank you
It really is an amazing transformation.
thank you
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful and fascinating process to see the transformation of this old building.
Many thanks!
How is the waste handled? Does it need special final disposition?
It is wonderful to see how you are healing that beautiful, unique place. I wonder - did you
have any idea how much work it was going to be?
That smart strip would be very good on furniture too making things easy .
What are you doing with the lead you have removed with the strips??
They pick the lead out of the strips and bury it in a lead mine where it came from. Duh.
A serious lot of work but ultimately worth it. Best wishes.
thank you!
Very beautiful. How do you dispose of the toxic strips once they come off the wall?
At 8:37- 8:39 you have got an orb on the ground in a very strange area behind you. I don't normally go for all of that kind of stuff but this makes a very strong case for something there. It came right in when you said something about the architect of Purnon. At first I thought it might have been a small dog that moved quickly across the ground. Wow really strange.
Ah yes I see it now! How exciting that we still have the past living on with us here at Purnon!
I am going to go get the stripping product today!!!! It's amazing and simple and will solve my stripping issue!!!!
Me too!!!! I don't even have anything to strip!!!!!! I don't even have a house--I'll just start stripping my neighbor's front door!!!!!!!!!! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the historic problems with lead paint is that it tastes sweet, or so I understand. Younger children would sometimes pull off strips and put them in their mouths. I'm guessing your sweet English sheepdog should be NOWHERE near this process.
she is used to living with it and does not try to lick it or eat it!
I thought lead paint was relatively safe once applied
It is safe when it's dry the problem is when it gets airborne
@@leonk8875 so why remove? I would think this is very low priority compared to the enormity of the prohect.
@@airplanes42 painting stone is never good it traps moisture in the stone and causes damage to it. Plus they are restoring the chateau meaning they want to make it look original, the paint was added in the 19th century so it's not original and in the original design the walls were left bare stone. Also the paint is clearly starting to flake in areas which is dangerous because it is producing paint chips which create dust with lead.
@@airplanes42 Of course preserved in case of artistic piece. Less interesting within 10 layers of painting.
I would leave the wide baseboards at the base of the walls. If you remove everything that's not original what will be left?
I would think you project would be a great opportunity for internships created for students who are learning architectural and historical restoration. Seems like you should have a team helping strip these walls. Some many questions of value such as “ can these products be used on plasters”.
How much will it cost to remove all of the paint
I saw that orb to
I looked back over the video and didn't catch it! Do you think its at 8:44?
It's low coming out of the other room behind you! Must be an animal spirit!
A lovely orb floated by at ground level at the 8.44 mark, I think you have ghosts!
I went back and looked at the 8:44 mark and was not able to see it!
The baseboards are nice, in need of repair of course. I question some of these historian decisions. One man's incredible castle has the most gorgeous black and white marble throughout the bottom floor and he loves it but they are going to remove all of it because it's not 'original'. It's very old but not original. Same with some of the very elegant windows. Once you take their money, you have little say.
These skirting boards are actually completely rotted out so they need to be removed in any case. If they were original they would be restored or replaced but as they are not we will remove them and not replace them. There are rooms in the château which were altered and will not be returned to their original state such as the Grand Salon which was updated in the 19th century with rococo elements and these elements will remain a feature of the room
Just one point about lead paints. XVIIIth. century paints were lead paints. Of course you need to get rid of paints on walls that were not painted in the XVIIIth. cent., but, concerning parts that were painted (typically furniture, doors, windows and wood panelings...), the current french regulations does not ask you to remove lead paints. They only request you to inform some people (typically renters of you rent your chateau...), that you do have some lead paints in your house and were. Also, current french regulations do not forbid any use of lead paints, it is forbidden for wall painters, and it is also forbidden to sell ready-made lead-based paints, but if you ask a joiner to restore Purnon's XVIIIth cent wood panelings, current french regulations still allow him to buy white lead oxide (real "ceruse"...), make his own lead-based paint according to XVIIIth cent recipes (with some care...) and repaint yous antique wood panelings with it. Those paints are considered quite different from modern lead-free imitations, and current practice is to still use them for restoration of painted XVIIIth cent. furniture. I guess that according to French regulation a joiner repainting Purnon's XVIIIth paneling should be considered as a "wood panel painter" and not a "wall painter". Also, white lead oxide, is still legally sold in France, but outrageously expensive.
sandblasting
Tuffeau stone is very soft and fragile so sandblasting is not an option
