Who else gets excited each time Dan removes other plant from the wall?
I do! I do!
yes!
I know I do. But also wonder if that’s the one holding everything together. LOL
I am!! So funny to see all that living green indide!😂😂😂
I do absolutely
man I am a contractor and some of what you are doing is crazy dangerous please be more careful PS I love the show
Same here, so many times I'm holding my breath 🙄
I don’t know how in this world he thought he could lift that beam himself.
It scares me- I wish he Wasn’t by himself ❗️❗️❗️
Me too. Some of its way too Buster Keaton for my taste.
Maybe using a scissor lift might be easier (and safer)??
Dan, ruining one of your floors would make us sad. But, finding out you have fallen and been severely injured would devastate us.
Wish he would wear a mask: airosol paint, all that concrete dust and brushing up in a cloud of rubbish and Dans voice is affected as his sinuses are blocked up! Please take more care:
I agree ,Dan you are young and healthy,now is the time to take care of your health , and take more safety measures , How often have you to be told , ??, A,G Ireland ,
Wearing a facial covering to avoid inhalation of potential harmful fumes and dust particles does seem wise dear friend. We, your devoted fans, care about YOU way more than the building you're restoring.
Who else was holding their breath while Dan was taking out that beam? 😬😱
🤚
I nearly passed out holding my breath so long. I am 85 and cannot take this worry. I am not sure which is the most brilliant work, the amazing camera shots or the hard work all by one man. I hope his family are proud of him. I would except for ignoring all the safety items he should be using. Take care you brilliant young man.🍷🍷🇬🇧🇬🇧
I forgot to breathe omg 😂
I always think, well, he’s posted this blog so he must be ok. The backache today will be felt I imagine.
Yes!!!!
Amazing that I can be sitting here in Florida folding laundry and cooking dinner watching Dan rebuild a chateau in France. I never miss an episode.
So lucky to be in florida
He thinks there may be a Rats Nets . Well with that Sand Blaster comming it will take care of that problem .
I am laying in bed after midnight in UK holding my breath watching Dan
I'm in Oklahoma yesterday doing patriotic things on the 4th- Independence Day, sing-a-longs, hotdog picnics & fireworks & John Phillip Sousa band music only because my husband (Kindlydude) insisted I get off youtube & join the real world & away from my YT handyman-Dan. So now I'm watching him tonight. Love this guy! I remind my husband he could be a little more "Can-Do-Spirit" like Dan ...evidently Dan's Independent Can-Do-Spirit is not just an 'American-thing'!! ~Tara (Kindlydude's wife)
Better than TV 🇦🇺 watching from Australia 😱
Wow, another “Guardian Angel Day” that worked overtime today!! 200,000 people on the edge of their seat!!! I think I will start praying for you Dan!!!
I know he does deserve it . I'm part Irish and I love to hear his stories .
I'm sure that will really help.👎👎👎
Dan, as a someone with an MSc in Historic Building Conservation, please be careful with sand blasting. The Granite will be ok, but avoid the other stone and brick completely. It strips the fire skin off of brickwork in a flash and then it turns to dust in a matter of a few years.
Seen some beautiful buildings utterly ruined in the UK but the 80s-00s fad of sand blasting. Some even had to be rendered after to save it from crumbling away.
Massively impressed with your hard work so far though!! 😊
Exactly, as a restoration architect I was going to write the same. Mostly we advise not to clean old bricks, the "patina" is part of the charm 🙂 if cleaning is really necessary, we advise to use steam instead of sand blasting. And always test out on a small surface first. Good luck Dan!
It's just for the sake of the videos. Sandblasting the exterior of an open building like that would be the equivalent of having a manicurist working on the nails of a patient during open heart surgery. Most of the work Dan does is for the video effect, not for structural expertise.
I used to live in a building just like your chateau from the early 1900's. Stripped the wall plaster, cause I wanted to lay the brickwork open. You gotta be really careful with the sand stone bricks and the mortar. I bet the sand blaster guy is experienced and if you go for low pressure it should go well, but the whole structure for sure is not equally stable. So the blast could take out much more in certain areas with the same pressure applied.
He did specifically say stonework, though, which I interpreted as the granite. Otherwise he would have said brickwork as well as both materials are clearly used.
Indeed.
I love your personality and the way you talk to us like we are there and we are friends. You make it so enjoyable to be a part of what you are doing by watching every single day. Thank you Dan
Well said! 😊 💯 Thank you for taking the time to post this comment
Now that was scary. Who needs to go to see the movie Mission Impossible when we can view Dan holding on to a falling steel beam 20m off the ground with one hand? None of us! Mission Impressive but please try another way to do this stuff.
I hope if he falls he will just break an arm or a leg. A head injury would destroy me,
I kept closing my eyes but had to keep convincing myself that he was okay because he was able to put out the video!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@annehinchliffe7794 I tell myself this every time he's doing something that makes my heart race.
Just proves he is a stupid person doesn't think about safety
Never underestimate the strength of a determined man!
Dan, Dan the Determined man!
Lol !! A temporary plastic covering over the roofing would be good here too.
He is amazing . I thought he wouldn't get those Steel Beams and he would just have to wait .
Always amazed how Dan gets so many different camera angles while rebuilding a chateau solo, phenomenal man!
Nick may be the tree surgeon, but Dan is the chateau surgeon! 😂❤
Perhaps but he needs an engineer who knows what they're doing. I keep thinking if we don't get a new vlog, he's had a huge mishap.... Pray the Iron Workers who have gone before him are guiding him through this process & that God allows him to grow old raising his boys.
@@loloholmes2793 He puts out 10 minute, carefuly curated and selective videos. There is a lot going on behind the edits that we don’t see.
@@DiscoFang agreed, he has done many construction projects before this and he knows the risks he takes. I'm sure he's doing his due diligence and we're only seeing the most exciting bits.
@@DiscoFang no....really🙄 here I thought he slagged off every moment he wasn't recording himself🤦♀️you're telling me he's editing...gosh who would've thought - thanks for pointing out the obvious🤣
@@loloholmes2793 Your comment seemed based on hope and lack of credit in his ability or sense and now you’re getting snarky about it.
(Gasps)😅 Dan.....I can't hold my breath that long. Please....may I make a suggestion? Find a friend, a buddy or a neighbor to check in with you during the day. Especially when trying something difficult or precarious. Or at least, find someone to call in as a spotter. You're there, alone. I don't doubt your ability to climb like a monkey, crawl through a tight hole or balance with one foot on a ladder and the other braced against a crumbling wall....but please, for the sake of the rest of us.....take a few precautions. Your guardian angel is asking for a pay raise with benefits. Sincerely and respectably. We care.
I am sure that there would be more than one local chap willing to help him out there. He really should take safety seriously. The work load is absolutely titanesque" and he needs a friend to be there with him. Although I admire he determination and courage, I am angry at his sheer lack of responsibility in safety regulations. There are many people here who are very interested in château restoration and would give him a hand, I do not understand what he is trying to prove ? 😮😮
@@donsarde-- that he can do it alone !
What lady Green Winter said! ⬆⬆⬆
@@francoisebekaert8137 No one is a super man, we are all only human lol !!
@@francoisebekaert8137 Learn that no one is infallible lol !!
Could you not hear me screaming No, No!! from my living room in the US!!? That was just too dangerous Dan. Next time you’re tempted…….remember that you are someone’s treasured Dad.
We all scream from all the surface of the earth. But so long we see the videos, nothing bad happens. We are getting to close and care too much. l am afraid to say❤
I check in every day in large part to be sure that you are still alive. Today’s video was a heart stopper but I knew that you lived long enough to edit and post. 😄
"I know that looked scary.. It was a bit." Definitely the best quote of the show! Great job.
Working on a much smaller house for the last 2 years but this is next level DIY ;)
In the entire history of castles, this I am sure, is the only castle built or re-built by one man. A man who in the very first video said he had no building experience. I have extreme respect for you, Dan.
I found myself holding my breath for so much of this..Dan, you are making me crazy...
i though he was going to pop a bollock
Too late...
Oh Dan you should have someone with you when you do that.
HE SHOULD NOT BE ALONE !!
Thoroughly enjoying the rebuilding of the chateau. I am a retired bricklayer and after a lifetime of working, I really can appreciate everything you are doing. My wife and I are cheering you on from Australia. 👍👍👍
These daily videos need to be made into a movie! How 1 man rebuilt an entire chateau by himself!
Staring, Superman Dan!
I’d watch that , super documentary tutorial for all the young people we need in the various trades .
@@suzanneburns2931on what NOT to do!!
I’m back to watching like this 🫣 one foot on the ladder and one foot on the wall?!? Dan!!
I know I’m like please do
not fall!
Oh my now I’m watching you lower the beam 😮
YIKES!!😱
It’s okay, the load is balanced by his huge…eh…cojones.
He's going to die due to carelessness. I'm surprised he hasn't fall over over an edge yet. All that loose gravel under his feet while he was lowering the beam.... only a matter of time. Hopefully he starts taking safety more seriously.
Killer job getting that out, I can tell you had a little of a tense moment. Fall back on math, use leverage, pulleys. Rig the winch up above you and use that to safely lower the beams. Either way, stay safe and we love watching you!
BINGO!!! That is what I thought!! At least a rope so it doesn't crash down.
The winch was right behind him
I was thinking A frame straddling the beam where it was to be cut with a rope from the beam up to the frame so you could slack it to lower that end of the beam.
YES!!!!
I think it's mostly sky above him. No place to mount the hoist.
All these people can't be wrong about your safety.
Man. Dan I hope you don’t have nightmares over this whole build -Clearly you’ve got angels as your ‘support’ team. I was sweating bullets just watching you on the edge of the flooring with all that dirt and grit. But somehow or another you manage to pull it off. 👏👏👏 Thank goodness!
Dan, sometimes you scare the crap out of me. I think that's part of why I tune in every day, to make sure you're okay. I hope you call in your friends to help with the next one. 😁
RIGHT!?!?!
Dan’s mom … if you’re watching this, please call Dan ! He also balancing himself high up with both both hands working on something with one foot on the ladder and the other foot is on the wall. He doesn’t work on a platform but on a leaning ladder,unsecured to the ground while using an electric drill. There is no one spotting him ( he saids he’s alone). Very dangerous!

"Rash British handyman barely avoids being launched off of second story wall. Credits MacDonald's for his survival."
It was in Paris 1889, on our small island we have a gloriette (or kiosque) from that exposition all made in iron.
You know things are getting serious when Dan refers to himself as Daniel… “ugh Daniel!”
😂I thought that too 😅
So true. Like mum scolding him.
Yes!
@@vm3731 I expect He heard it said in his mum's voice !
When Dan moves this stuff around, I feel I need a tranquilizer so I can regulate my heart beating. Especially when he was holding onto the beam as it was swaying. Ack!!!! And that was only one beam....
Practically speaking, we know Dan has survived the episode since he has edited and uploaded the days filming, but he really needs to be more careful!
Won’t it be fabulous when you can put a temporary roof up.
No. A permanent roof.
What would be even more fabulous is common sense, safety and having some kind of game plan for the place set up prior to all this effort and expense.
Yes a temporary tarp/roof would be just as good as a tent! Why not make the basement area a room? Hang a hammock and set up a camp stove?
For now he is living in a Tent, which we knew that was going to happen cause the Air BnB had to tell him his time was up .
Where are the children s living thou?
I spent 3 days binge watching this series just so I could see all the progress that's been made. Amazing job Dan. Can't wait to follow the rest of the journey
Ha! Me too. It makes more sense when you watch them all in sequence. Love it!
What a dramatic ending!!! Holding my breath, wondering which way the beam was going to go! Dan, you're videos, are never BORING!! 😮
Youe channel certainly is not without some drama!! You scare the sh&t out of me. I love your determination.
WELL SAID!!
Couldn't have put it better myself 😂😂
Yikes! I'm sure glad that beam didn't take you over the edge!! Good idea to get a new plan for the next one.
by the time Dan looks worried, things must be really really sketchy.
For sure.😊❤
Dan, I love it when you finish a sentence, “in theory”.
In a big construction job, you can get away with about 500 "scary" moments. Not just balanced I-Beams in mid-air, but also strained backs from hand carrying steel girders.
Then, you get one life altering "mistake".
Then you get "Uncompleted project for Sale. Due to Health Issues.", that you see all over the Internet.
One concrete suggestion. Those old I-Beams, could be the basis of a sturdy Tripod tool for temporary support of future beams.
They could also form a simple large trolley for moving heavy stuff around.
That actually might be a good idea..
Tripod would get in the way. Trolley would be too heavy empty. Could make a good crane boom from a higher level once there's access but considering they're annealed by fire even that would be questionable.
@finrennard3402 A tripod can support a Boom, for running a ratchet block set from.
There's no stress in columns in compression, fire damaged or not.
OMG! That was scary Dan especially when the beam was between your legs. If it had fallen it would have flipped you up into the air. I felt sick! I’m so glad you are not going to do the other one alone. I thought I’d have a heart attack😢
i did wonder an
bout the steel between his.........
@@jeanettedickinson3446😂😂
Anyone else have there heart in there throat when dan removed the beam 😮😊
Unless those beams go all the way through the wall and have tie plates on the outside, they're not pulling the walls in, just putting enough downward pressure on them to stop the walls falling outwards. The horizontal steel plates in the walls will almost certainly be acting as a ring beam at each floor as they'll all be connected together in the corners. They, along with the roof structure, as well as the downward pressure of the weight of each floor, probably did most of the real work to keep the chateau square and true. I'm not saying anything about how you dealt with getting that beam down though, that wasn't smart and you know it.
Amazing that you can do all this by yourself. Please be safe. The boys need you.
He is the only Brit doing up châteaux in France that take so many risks . Safety clothing and good work boots and helmet !!
Most guys would of given up once they say the 40 Tons of Debre and a 40 Foot tall Tree in the other room .
How did he carry that Beam out by himself . I do look foward to seeing what he is got going . I need to wait all day due to the time Zone New York to Paris .
Wow you aren't wearing gloves, your hands must be like stone! I'm so addicted to this series, thank you so much for all the work you're doing, both on the chateau, but also for the explanations and editing and uploads.
I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to get all the planning approvals for the project. The engineering specs must be mindboggling detailed. Perhaps you can share some insights into these sometime. All the very best, take care
Omg you must have an angel watching over you Dan. I thought the weight of the beam was going to pull you over.great vlog though. Take care😮
...Dan smiles when he does scary things....😁👍
What sets your vlog apart is your artistic filmmaking of "still lifes", the nature shots and the camera angles. I never get tired of it and I think that is why you gained another 1,000 subscribers in 24 hours! Well done. Not that it is a competition. It is just good acknowledgement for your abilities in so many areas. This vlog is so much more than a documentary of the renovation!
He doesn’t wear helmets, gloves or at least a rain jacket. He’s almost never secured to anything when he’s high up on a ladder. And he’s almost always alone in a crumbling building. Thank god I’m not his mom. (Even though I’m definitely starting to feel like her …)
LOL 😂😅 I hear you!! Me too, we all feel protective of this young crazy guy that we have come to know!!
That was probably the The tenth Exposition Universelle which took place in Paris 15th May to the 6th November 1889.
If the Chateau was built in the 1880s that would fit pretty well. (It was for this that the Eiffel Tower was built at this time too.)
The problem is I couldn't find any evidence of the château as late as 1901, its existence is only proven in 1906. And the famous inventor Charles de Choubersky died in 1891.
Tie yourself to something with a harness. Don’t let a beam pull you off the side if it gets away from you. Safety first for your families sake. Great job😊
VERY scary removal of that steel beam! Amazed, that it didn't go crashing downward.
I was amazed that he didn’t go crashing downward.
I almost had to fast forward, couldn’t watch even though ai knew he’d do it.😮
Rope and probably pulleys, from above.
Dan is giving Tom Cruise a run for his money with all the stunts he gets up to. ❤
I actually said an expletive …out loud…when I saw Dan at the top of the ladder with one foot on the step…the other elsewhere!!! OMG Dan…heart in the mouth time for me. Glad you are ok and ready to scare us all another day! Take care Dan…Dottie xx great Job BTW..x
Study up before committing to sand blasting. It could be destructive depending on the stone.
Good advice‼️
Yes.
Dry ice blasting or power wash… sand blasting sounds way too destructive…
I know there are different grades of sand. Some for harder surface, plus they use differing materials besides sand.
He will sandblast the granite. Not the bricks
"l know that looked scary. It was a bit."
Master of understatement.
You sure can do anything when you put your mind and soul into it! Thank you for sharing this with the world. What a task of taking a beam out of a historic building. Dan is the chateau man. Bravo Dan! Another stunning episode.
what amazes me is that he manages to film everything! This must take so much time...
Lord Dan you are going to give me a heart attack with climbing on those walls. Using all those power tools in the rain makes me nervous. Too make you feel better it’s pouring here as well.
Am I the only one that desperately wants Dan to get some safety gloves?
👍👍👍
Me too... since the beginning...
Not only safety gloves but safety in any form. Not trying to be mean but truly he has from the beginning disregarded any safety protocol almost like its less manly or demeaning and of no consequence. He is not stupid, far from it but his total disregard for use of safety equipment is staggering.
Me too.
He needed another bloke for that!?!
I don’t know how you don’t get a hernia or a bad back ache with all you do Dan! Your amazing❤
Great to see you wearing eye protection!😁Rain stopped play for a bit! What fantastic history you have on your place, I feel you need to write it down, and maybe keep a journal of things you do each day (as if you have not enough to do with the work, the filming and the editing) because you could write a book on your awakening lady Dan, if not only for your boys, but for folk who visit the place to read, along with pictures. Otherwise, it will all just be lost in time. Fantastic work you are doing, Dan the man who can, as always. So Keep on Truckin' young man. xxx
Omg Dan! You are not invincible! You have a legion of fans, family and friends that love you. You need to take safety issues seriously! We want to see you complete the work on the chateaux! 💞
Starting using straps and pulleys! They give you a mechanical advantage and allow you to handle the weight far easier than you dealt with the steal beam today.
And you do have a beam above even if it is warped
Can’t you put a steel beam in on top floor and use block and tackle to manage the lower ones?
Dan. You had 250.000 people across the globe on the edge of their comfy seats with that iron beam gymnastics. Amazing work, brilliantly filmed as always which I hope people appreciate on here. Well done
Very suspenseful, thanks for not making a cliff-hanger ending here.
Consult an architect soon! They can help with layout and light and bring a new perspective as you're rebuilding. Very exciting progress!
Dan 👀 I agree with this comment
As long as they follow Dan's plans to restore to the original plans of the chateau.
You paying for that?
I am sure Dan would have all planned, right?
@@iqbang9236 I think he has done that already.
Slow and steady wins the race. Every problem has a solution. The difficult we do today, the impossible we do tomorrow. The mortar in the kitchen looks very nice. Happiness is a choice. Gods blessing on you and your house.
I'd say that there was some amount of adrenaline coursing through Dan doing this! Well done that man!! 💪💪👏👏
Dan, on top of all your other incredible skills, I think that you’re an artist. Your vlogs are beautiful and varied and artistic. I don’t know where you find the time and energy to make such professional looking & sounding videos. Your talents are awesome.👋🏻🇨🇦
Build an A-frame from the ground to above the beam, tie if the steel, lower it down.
Yes! Yes!
And use your electric winch to help with the weight…
And save days, weeks, and months by building wooden scaffolding in each room
I really enjoy your vides so I don't want to find out that youve gotten hurt. ONE SECOND of heavy lifting could be your undoing. Especially since you work alone a lot. If you get hurt a day or more could pass and probably end up very badly. Please tie off anything and everything that can slide and use that winch/hoist for the lifting.
100%
Blasting will strip off the hard baked outside layer of the brick. I've done some research about my own brickwork. Even a high pressure cleaner can damage bricks and make them more receptive to algae. The best thing is to just do some low pressure algae remover. Rain should take care of the rest
The outside is brick & granite. He will sandblast the granite. Not the brick
Well that was hair-raising. When you said, “I just need a little sit down now.” I couldn’t help laughing outloud at the understatement!
In England the old Stone buildings had Steel tension bars with threaded ends to hold the walls and prevent bulging , there were large metal X pieces which fitted over the bars , then nuts were threaded over them , the bars were heated up allowing longitudinal expansion , the nuts tightened again and as the bars cooled a tremendous tension was produced to hold the walls firmly .
Great bit of history of the railings. How neat is that! So glad you are able to keep uncovering more tidbits about the Château and its history.
The bad thing about sand blasting, IS, that the blasting strips off the hard baked outside layer of the brick, which makes the brick more permeable to water, then your bricks will crumble more
Perhaps he meant to just blast the stone, not the brick.
How about water blasting (power washing) - is that as destructive ⁉️
Either way there’s rendering missing which needs to be repaired so I think it’s just the stone.
Would pressure washing be a better option? Just wondering if it might be easier on the brick.
He will sandblast the granite. Not the brick
And I'm watching this gigantic renovation from the Netherlands. Great that so many people from all over the world are enjoying your renovation together. Very unfortunate that there is still a lot of war violence and other ways to destroy or sour each other's lives. So more castles need to be built.
Oh, Danling, i didn't like to see you up there with one foot on the ladder and the other foot on the wall, pulling metal down. Such risky acrobatics! Be safe.💗
A young, strong, back. Wow such an asset I didn’t fully appreciate when I had it.
You and me both
Yeah, it’s only young and strong till we do things like this. My uncle claims to have hurt his back ducking under a bunch of bananas,……nope. It was the years of doing this sort of stuff accumulating. The bananas just finished him off.
Personally I can’t sit in a chair without discomfort after a fracture in my coccyx in the nineties. It wasn’t even a fun party!
Safety can be boring, but to those of you whose bodies are not yet wrecked….I promise you, the aches and pains that stop you doing stuff are even more boring than taking a few extra minutes to plan a reasonably safe way of working. Don’t disengage your brain cos nothing is ever risk for, but don’t wear your body out before it’s time if you don’t have to.
‘Risk free’, I was trying to say. Not ‘risk for’ . Auto correct got me.
I LOVE YOUR OPENING SHOT OF YOUR CHATEAU IN THE FOREST!!! Stunningly beautiful!!! 🥰❤️🏰❤️🥰 Dan, I love that you learn about the chateau’s history and share your knowledge on your channel. 🥰🎶❤️😎🏰👏👏👏 Take care of yourself!!! 🥰🎶❤️
Wow Dan, I was on the edge of my seat again watching this vlog. It was amazing how you held o to the weight of the beams. Glad to hear you are not removing another beam in the same way again! Hope you are reading comments of encouragements, advice and cautions on the pages of the vlogs. We all care about your safety which is far more important than the speed of progress in the restoration of the chateau.
Whew, you had me worried there for a second. But you always come out smelling like a rose. Love the history of this Chateau and the builder being in the steel business, he built this place to last, but he did not know years later Dan would come along and take things down and start all over again making the Chateau even better. I also love how you whistle while you work, you are in your happy place!!!
Dan, you give me heart palpitations! ❤
So many great pictures and situations and not to mention the editing……. and still you get the work done with a smiling attitude!
B R A V O 🎉❤
That exhibition was the Eposition Universelle 1889 in Paris, which was exactly 100 years after the French Revolution of 1789.
There was also a large Russie stand and a quarter of the exhibition was occupied by the "Gallerie des machines" In addition, the entire building was made of structural and cast steel including the Eiffel Tower.
I’m still thinking that you should reconsider having a staircase from the dining room to the kitchen. It would add so much convenience bringing food up, and it would also provide the additional light to the downstairs kitchen.
God Dan, your killing me. There was danger everywhere in this video. All most a mission impossible stunts going on here!
It's time to pick up a corded or cordless airless sprayer. It would save so much time when you're painting those beams.
Difficult to clean it after done using it...
Or at least a bigger paint brush or roller.
I already explained to Dan and anyone reading that by far the absolute best method for applying a first coat of paint of any type to almost any surface is with a brush for the first coat. The brush pulls the paint down into the small pores of the steel, wood, concrete, whatever it is you are coating better than virtually anything else. A sprayer or even roller will tend to tent over tiny pores and crags leaving little air pockets. After the first coat, use whatever works the fastest or bestest. JackL.
@@JackL75 I didn't see your earlier remark and I'm glad to read it now. I've learned something new. Thank you.
Then a bigger brush!
Never miss an episode and nice knowing I am not the only one holding my breath as you climb and cut Dan.
As I witnessed it, I knew that you would get that beam out with no disaster(s). The only thing that I worried about was your back. I’m glad you’re going to find a safer way to do the next one.
You have such a courage to keep working while it’s raining, but don’t forget to keep yourself safe above all.🍀
Don't know your plans Dan, but if you ever accept paying guests for a night's stay over I believe you've already got a waiting list ! ? !
Yes I'd love to be a guest . He is so down to earth .
He might run it as a B&B when it's finished. He is a fully trained chef after all.
I wish there was a scaffold company out there to help You stay safe. Every day I am holding on for dear life when I watch you. Dan please stay safe 🙏🤞
😅 "an inside job where it wasn't raining inside"! 😂
Keep plugging away Dan. One day at a time, one bite at a time
That was super scary to watch and please don't do that without someone spotting you or helping in some other way! If you hurt yourself this may never come to fruition and you have already to much heart and sole let alone money invested to not see it through. Bless your heart you are extremely brave.
I am amazed at the mix of materials in the walls but an organised regular finish on the outside. Fabulous history of the building almost like at archeology.
Pre atomic bomb steel corrodes less than modern steel. It’s why old steel is so valuable.
Thoughts on the kitchen: 1. Have you considered how to get food from the kitchen to the formal dining room above? I know you don't want to use too much floor space, so maybe a spiral stair or dumbwaiter. 2. Maybe leave the beam work exposed for the kitchen ceiling? That would give the illusion of more height. I'm really enjoying your channel and am having fun imagining the finished chateau!
Was thinking the same way and I like the idea of a dumbwaiter too. Spiral stair would be cool also, maybe not ideal for carrying food up though. The glass floor??? Lol make it opaque so you don’t have to edit out Kilts or dresses, panties or not 😂 😮 🤣 lol
I once had a home with a spiral staircase but took it out as it couldn't take furniture up and down
Sadly, wrought iron bug always banging shins going up as it had a very steep tread on it.
@@lesliejustme3364 I thought about the kilts aspect😮, but then thought, "Who'd be wearing a kilt visiting Dan's chateau?" Then again, after today's Vlog, anything could show up at Dan's chateau!
I definitely thought it was going to go way worse than it did. I'm impressed. Also, this is why women live longer than men
(Shakes head vigorously up and sown!!). 😂
god do i love this channel!! best and most entertaining! a big team + safety is boring; one man precariously trying to take down an old steel beam = anxiety inducing entertainment. every morning make myself a coffee and watch a project that i thought would be impossible for one man to restore. great work
"It's to heavy."
Then later walks away with it.
Haha! :D
