  • Bonjour à tous,
    This week at the château, Tracy tackles the gate which will be for the new Entrance. Terry & Ash got the pair of gates locally but like everything Terry gets, they need a little work first, so Tracy sands away all the rust, learns how to use the spray gun and gets to work on them. After fully painting them Terry decides to add a little extra touch to them, but what colour will It be?

    About us,
    We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
    The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
    Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
    Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

    Your involving Jonathan in all of this is priceless. I have been working since I was in the third grade here in the States. It prepared me for adulthood like no other. Now I am an employer. The employees that I have that never had anything expected of them by their parents are a real challenge. They are VERY entitled. They are shocked when asked to do the job for which they are paid. Jonathan has a bright future ahead of him!

    Tracey reminds me of my mother. who lived to be 95 and she helped me build my school. she did everything and was very brave. she ran a wedding chapel until the age of 90 when she "retired". she used to come down 4 x a year or more to help me with starting a school. with 2 young children. i would buy her treats from I magnin and give her lots of chocolate and little trips. I miss her to this day!I now enjoy every minute with my own kids

      I can't help feeling that 'stunning' is a very heavily over used word nowadays....!
      World war 3 would be stunning...
      A giant tsunami destroying half the American Eastern seaboard would be stunning...
      Aliens landing on Earth and destroying major cities would be stunning...
      But a cat ....?
      No!

    Well done Tracey! Can’t believe how you sanded those gates and painted them yourself, and you did a lovely job. Little Jonathan is so cute, he’s always around to help wherever he can. Ash, I love the way you interact with Jonathan, I can tell he looks up to you, right down to wearing a bracelet just like you. 😊

      However, just a concern, all of them should be wearing masks as you don’t want to intentionally breathe in contaminated. After all that hard work no one would want anyone to get I’ll or cancer in the future.

    I know people have said this many times but I don’t think it can be overlooked. The time each of you spend teaching Jonathan all of these amazing skills are priceless. This young man is going to be so well rounded as a person. Between learning different cultures from living in two different countries to the job skills that he is being taught. You have taught him roofing, framing, Sheetrock, electrical, flooring, plumbing, painting, gardening, heavy equipment, stone restoration, refurbishing windows and doors, upholstery, sewing, decorations, RUclips influencer, a little acting, self esteem, sharing his life across the world, dreaming of owning a castle, learning with hard work comes big rewards. The life lessons are endless. He is one lucky little man.
    Tracy I do think you have cured him from ever wanting one specific job and that would be digging a little over here really means 2 days straight of digging. Patrick doesn’t mind digging but the rest of the guy are afraid every time you pick up a shovel 😂.

    @perduealexandra5736 2 года назад +9

    I nearly had an accident laughing (but didn’t) when Ash and Jonathan had finished tightening the bolts on the gate, in the background Lord Patrick was trotting along with something in his mouth! Then when Ash and Jonathan moved away he stopped and looked directly at the cámara as if to say “What! Mind your own business, I’m busy here”. You all need to to watch that again if you missed it. It’s hysterical 😂😂
    Tracy, you are something else, stunning job on the gates plus you looked so cute and cozy in your red zip up jacket. (I know you’d prefer all white but everything is looked at from a great distance on that property and the hint of bronze against the white is spectacular. 👏👏👏

    No matter how many times I see it done, I am always amazed at what a difference a “lick of paint” makes. Once you see the white paint transform the gates, you absolutely forget about that blue, rusty metal underneath. Good job, Tracy, in picking up a new skill to add to your growing list of accomplishments.
    This is totally off subject, but how do you tell Louie and Sasha apart? I know we don’t see as much of Louie so I can try to compare them, but I have always been curious about how they differ.

  • @SJohnEastwood
    @SJohnEastwood Год назад +1

    Hi Guys, just subscribed to your videos and so am not fully up to date with all you have achieved so far. I will, in due time, do so, I am currently watching Ep84 and am praying that you go for ''railings'' from Farrow and Ball for their colour.... Oh dear, you didn't..... The trouble with white is it very quickly shows rust spots and as a consequence requires a lot more attention and regular painting . If used on railings etc. white tends to keep one's eye on it and restrict a view whereas ''black matt/eggshell'' will let the eye pass through it and let you see more of the intended view. And .... less painting. Keep up the wonderful work !!
