Tracy is busy stripping all the old wallpaper throughout the third floor and helps Terry remove tons of the stones from the château walls.

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.

I love the way you don't treat Jonathon dismissively. He will grow up to be very secure in who he is. The room at the end of the vlog will look fabulous. Low ceilings keep the warmth in. Looking forward to Wednesday.
So glad you're taking steps to save, restore and protect this marvelous place. It was almost painful watching the wood crumble in your hands, Terry. I absolutely love the wood paneling in the house and its intelligent layout.
Thank you so much 🙏🥰🥰
Jonathon is so precious. He is learning so much from you all, and you provide him with wonderful role models to emulate.
Thank you so much, he absolutely loves it all 🥰
He talks like a real pro! Its going to be such a good learning school by the time he will be a grown person he will know the chateau in and out and would be a great heir for it!
I think Tony is the hero of this channel. The amount that he has achieved in the cottage with Traceys help is astounding.
I completely agree. I’m missing him. Nothing against Terry who took over the page I just miss Tony and Tracy’s way of talking to the camera and an eye for what we would find interesting. I wish in the videos about the cottage you would give Tony back the camera 🎥 and not you doing a interview that an come off as forced banter. Give Tony back the control over the cottage or have him begin his own page because I would definitely watch him and your mom.
What a grand wee lad is Jonathan! He's learning a lot from his very skilled family. This old lady Chateau is going to be beautiful after all the work of your loving hands Love it when you say you'll "crack on".
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Never feel embarrassed to hire a person who is a specialist. Sometimes you just have to prioritize!!! It is okay! Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you very much 🥰
As an American, I really enjoy watching your videos. We have NOTHING like this going on in my country. If someone has a 50 year old house, we think of it as ancient! Here's to living vicariously!!!!
So true that we have nothing like a chateau in the US, but My hubby and I have been working on our 1930s bungalow for two decades now! Slowly but surely!
Watch the 2nd empire strikes back. The young man is American I think. He is doing a great job.
@@Jamcat1000 hi Jamcat1000 I am from Germany and I second your suggestion. "The 2nd Empire Strikes Back" is a very great channel about a very great home from 1889 and I love watching each and every episode, not to forget Kims channel "The 2nd Empire Strikes Back Vlog" . I also love the channel "1834 Restoration House" another beautifull house in the US getting restored by a Couple for their love of old houses.
@@Jamcat1000 Kaleb! Yes, I do watch his vlogs. He's a true restorationist - which is how I made my living for decades.
One of my favorites is when you end with all of you catching us up and have a fun little banter. So fun to see these!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoy it all 🥰
Absolutely love all the banter. It's so refreshing to see how happy you all are throughout the process. Certainly not my experience during our own building and renovation projects. Yours really is a labour of love. Xxx
Episode 28, 20 mins in, in the 3rd floor salon, your mom taking wallpaper off, you two putting up Insullation together… I’m in love with this show and y’all!
The château apartment is coming along nicely. Loved seeing little Jonathan helping out.
Can't wait, your vlogs get better and better every week.
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy them 🥰
I love their vlogs too
I am eager to see the cheateau air tight and smoke coming from the chimney and from the cottage.
They sure do! I love to see the actual work process. Then getting Jonathan involved is so great for him to learn the trades, but we get to enjoy seeng him. Your Mom is just amazing and a true role model!
Congrats on joining Patreon - great way for viewers to participate in this epic restoration. And viewers, another wonderful way of helping is by watching the adverts in their entirety. Doing that little bit adds up and creates additional needed resources. Costs involved in restoring a chateau are tremendous and endless. This family is obviously dedicated and deserving of assistance in their labor of love. Tracey, all of you are magic!
Thank you so much, yes every little add helps with the restoration 🙏🥰🥰
Excellent work lads and lass. Get yourselves a bucket chute to get all debris down to ground. Simply chuck the chute out a window of the room you're working in and toss everything down it. They're so lightweight now it's easy to pull up and move to the next window.
Someone else mentioned an electric winch. That's a great idea. Even if you may not find one to reach the top, two less costly winches, moving the load from one to the other halfway up, would certainly speed things up for bit. Not to worry, you'll still be gettin in your steps. With a chute, nobody runs the risk of a grossly over developed bum. Lol
Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Cheers!
A chute is a great idea
Thank you very much 👍🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle another renovation channel made a chute by cutting out the bottom of plastic rubbish bins and attaching them together with chains. I've also seen them made with the tubes used for pouring concrete forms. Hauling those bags down the stairs would be a great work out but it is a big time eater!
I agree…easier for your back
Johnathan is such a sweet boy & always wanting to help out. He’s well rounded from being around a positive ,loving Family🧸
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
That young man is going to be so multi talented! Hopefully, he's going to absorb all what is happening.. My best to you all. 🇬🇧
You make me smile every week, well twice a week now ... no matter how hectic my week is your vlogs are something I look forward to ...
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoy them 🥰🥰
Y’all are such wonderful uncles to Jonathan. It makes me so happy to see you include him in everything. He’s so loved by all of you. 💖💖💖
Don’t forget to hide a few letters from you to the house. Tell her what it was that made you love her and who all is there helping restore her beauty. Put it in a bottle or jar with other items; like a piece of original wall paper from the room and in the future someone will find it. Kinda like a time capsule. It will be a piece of history… do it in the cottage too.
The look on Ash's face when Terry was cutting the plaster board with the saw was priceless 😆
😱
😂😂😂 yes I was winding him up a little 😂😂😂
The only tip I can give you is 'You can never have too many plug sockets' that's from experience
The very first video when I saw the staircase, that’s when I fell in love with this chateau, and I now see that you all are the perfect caretakers to bring her back! Lots of hard work bringing her back to the beauty that she once was and will be again. My hat is off to you (I wear hats every day) for your courage and perseverance. I enjoy the mid week updates and thank you for sharing this project! Best wishes from Florida!
Thank you so much for being apart of our family journey from the start, she is slowly coming back to life 🏰❤️
Позвольте выразить восхищение вашим родителям , огромная эмоциональная поддержка от них всему миру , браво !Малыш навсегда запомнит свои первые труды , вы наполняете его сердце любовью к этому дому .Мир вашему дому .
Jonathon is an amazing young man. He’s listened and watched over time ,to understand how the chateau is put together and how to fix it. He’ll be a good “keeper” of the chateau when it’s his turn to take over. You’ve all done such a good job including him, explaining to him and encouraging him to learn. I’m so proud of him.
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
It’s so lovely to listen to you all chatting about the work you are doing. You are all so full of fun. I think the star of the show this week must be Jonathan, he is a delight and like the rest of you doesn’t mind getting on with it.
He is a little star bless him 🥰
The family get together to review the episode is a nice signature touch for the channel
I love how you gathered yourselves on the front steps to take a break and thank us for following your journey. You are a loving family and it gives me comfort knowing family values are still alive. Janice from Arkansas USA
Ash and Terry are so wonderful together!
Good you Are So Amazing Getting This Old Chateau Up to scratch
Jonathan is so smart. Huge progress 👏
He is bless him 🥰
Love the quality of work, so thorough and I can see the care and love through the work you all do. Lovely family too. Love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️
Oh Terry and Ash you are wonderful with that little Jonathon...Terry you were speaking so nicely to him at the beginning of the vlog...he is going to grow up as nice as you are. What a great family. What no chandelier for your salon...disaster!! Live the wall lights. I am gojng to become a patron.
I like Terry's ideals on decorating.
So pleased people want to be part of your journey, I can only watch the advertising so I hope that is a help. People love watching you and your family as you are such genuine nice people. Wishing you all the luck in the world. Take care.xx
I removed layers and layers of wallpaper with a large spray bottle like the one Tony uses to apply the wood worm treatment. I used liquid fabric softener 1/4 to 3/4 water. Soak let stand for 10-15 minutes. Scrapes right off.
How exciting finding the snake skin. Johnathon was fairly excited about that. He is such a bright young man. The chateau is an exciting adventure for him.
The chateau disaster turned out to be a blessing. It allowed you to improve the room to it's best potential. It is true that every cloud has a silver lining. Great job has been done so keep smiling and carry on. Love your positivity and creativity.
Thank you very much, it definitely was 🥰
Thanks all! another great vlog 😀
Jonathan is getting used to being in the vlogs now 😊
He's a great little helper!💜
Terry that alcove, would have made a great place to have shelves, either left open for books ect., or with a secret door, used for storing clothes, shoes ect. I have heard many times that chateaus are sort on storage space. Just a thought. Best wishes, it’s going well.
I’m kind of watching out of order. I enjoy watching so much! Yes, as someone commented about Jonathan, he is going to be such a skilled young man, believing anything is possible if you work hard and steady! I’m off to bake bread for the first time in rainy Oregon USA
Thank you so much 😊
Wow, you guys are so brave to take on these huge projects.
A certain someone is giving Terry a hard time, every vlog. 😏 Terry you’re awesome.
😂😂 they all give me a hard time 😂😂 only joking, 🥰🥰
Tony's got it...its downhill now...every skill learned & solution found increases your speed. By then end you will be lightning fast. It's so good you're vlogging now because it will all be over before you know it and you'll have it recorded. When Jonathan's a grown man and the rest of you are in your dotage you can watch and reminisce. What a reward!!!
Thank you very much, yes that is one of the main reasons we are doing the videos 🥰🥰
You are so lucky to have the Château. I wish I could see it. Thanks for sharing your journey.
All your efforts are so inspiring, especially as you work as real team with super positive energy. The lighting ideas you have for the third floor lower ceiling are fabulous.
I just love watching you guys. Your so funny. Your work that you are doing is looking great. Can’t wait till you guys can finally say this room is completed.
Thank you very much, yes we can not wait till one of the rooms is complete 🥰
Wow well done all of you. I am enjoying watching your progress so much. What a wonderful family little Johnathon has and what a wonderful life you are giving him. I love how patient you all are with Johnathon as he learns new skills working along side you all. UTB from Ontario.
How cute is Jonathan, he’s so adorable I love watching him getting involved bless him, my goodness the salon on the 3rd floor is really looking good already well done everyone, I absolutely love watching you all & the transformation in both properties they’re going to be so beautiful when you’re finished xx
Jonathan you are a great help. Your family couldn’t do it without you. Such a pleasure to watch you all. I never miss an episode. Lots of love and admiration to you all
To see what you are doing to dismantle the walls then and fast forward 3 years later is just amazing. I am enjoying the flashback to how it all looked. Drone shots of the countryside never gets old. You are located in the most beautiful area.
Face it Terry is the Visionary, everyone else is manual labor! (As Terry sees it anyway) Hehehe Y'all are a Great Team including Jonathon pulling his fareshare! & Sometimes u just don't realize how it should be until the plain drywall is up... 🌹
Hi there, from Holland,warm greetings.
I really enjoy your videos and hard work. Meanwhile it feels like watching family, so familiair. Ik have great respect for your mega job. I love the way you treat each other.
Diny
I like that yous are all together as a big family love it 🇮🇪
When you were doing that window sill it reminded me of my granddad. His philosophy was use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. I imagine the guy that put that together felt the same way.
Jonathan is such a great helper and growing so tall fast!!
Jonathan is sounding like a professional already. Very entertaining thanks.
What a darling little boy.. my heart melted seeing the pride on his face 😄
You have made some amazing progress this past year! When I first seen your first vlog, I wondered why you would even try with that condition of that place. Now I am excited to see the changes you've made. Crack on!
Thank you very much, she is so beautiful we just could not leave her to rot 🏰🥰🥰
The 3rd floor salon is looking fantastic!
Little Jonathan such an expert already.
Coming along beautifully. Jonathan is just thriving. Light fitting’s are perfect. Take care🌻
What a blessing Jonathan has such a wonderful, kind and loving family. He’s learning new things all the time. And what a gorgeous place to grow up! Love your vlogs so much.
Thank you so much 🥰
I so enjoy your journey! And admire your courage, ingenuity and tenacity. Can hardly wait for the next one.
I adore your channel I am so excited to see the renovation and how you all work together as a team 💕you have made such huge strides on your project.
Hi Guys, great content, thanks for sharing, BUT please remember to adjust the volume of any music so its not blasting eardrumbs lol. Volume of music is a problem when ten times louder than vocal. Many thanks.
So nice to see Jonathan, such a great little helper, he's learning so much from great teachers! Such good progress, I just love your chats, you all share so much of yourselves. Ash, please take care of yourself, that sounds like quite a cough. Good luck with the Patreon account. Thank you for sharing, look forward to Wednesday's vlog. Take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Thank you very much 🥰
I would make a seat in the spot where you are removing the window seal, but that's just me. 🙂. It looks like if you guys hadn't come along to rescue the chateau it would be falling to the ground in a year or two.
Really enjoyed the vlog, might be an idea to invest, or hire one of those chutes from your rooms straight onto a trailer , you won’t need to keep going up and down flights of stairs
Thank you very much 🥰
Always great to see things happening. Was worried about the extent of the crumbling wall, but you have explained that it didn't matter so much. What a relief. Best wishes.
You need to make a rough rubble shoot open the window and throw it down the shoot into the back of a trailer or onto the ground it would help you you such a lot people. 🙋♀️🖖ps lovely vlogs buy boy it’s going to be a Beauty when you start decorating I can not wait
Your whole family is lovely. So enjoying watching your gorgeous home coming alive. So look forward to your vlogs.
I love watching your sweet family. That little sweet boy is learning so much and so happy to help.
So glad you’re on Patreon now! I just became a Patron. My husband and I admire all your hard work and even Jonathan has joined in. Our grandkids are about his age so he’s fun to watch and I know they would be jumping in to help as well. Terry, you wouldn’t be a Libra by chance, are you? My husband says the same about me that Ash says about you! Love seeing all your hard work come to fruition. And I love the wall sconces you’re adding to the room.
Thank you so much and so glad you have joined us on patreon. Yes Jonathan loves to help out and is good for him to know he has played a part in the restoration. I am a Gemini 🥰, and so glad you light the wall lights 🥰🥰
Jonathan is training to be the Foreman. Lovely to see him taking such a determined interest. Bless him. 💜💜
I absolutely love your Chateau, just seeing the Ep 67, Love the bedroom set, all the furniture is amazing, hope it all comes together for you! Can't wait too watch the transformation of it all. Never had a home of my own so watching these magnificent transformation helps make my days. Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you so much!
Love the sconces, and take your time!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!
I love seeing yall with lil Johnathan 🥰 yall both are such great role models for him. I can see the love both of yall have for him ❤ He is lucky to have such an amazing family! He is learning the value of a hards day work, learning what you can accomplish when you put your mind to it and the importance of family and everyone pitching in ❤
So cute including Jonathan in your conversation Terry! He is such a clever little boy and no doubt he has good teachers and a wonderful family. I wish you all the support in the world, you sure do deserve it! What a great idea for gifting...little bit of this and that!
What a joy to watch - apart from the snake skins 🤭 oh ukky. What a little star Jonathan is. You must all be so proud of him. The top room looks as if it is going to be amazing. Well done. 👏👏
Thanks guys you are all doing a great job, but I do think you need a builders chute to get the rubbish down from the top. Carrying it in bags will wreck your bodies. Lana Australia
Wow you have done lots this week its lovely seeing the room come together, I for one love watching you all bringing the Chateau and cottage back to life.. once you get your living quarters done you should let volunteers come use your caravans and help you with their talents like other chateau owners, Jonathan will have many skills hes learning from you all by the time hes grown up lol x
Thank you very much, yes that is the idea 🥰
Jonathan is a little star . What a brilliant job you are all doing.Eileen and Brian
Great news! It takes a lot to do a video on top of everything else.
On the snake, it’s probably a rat snake or a racer going by the skin rather from a dead snake. He’s been eating whatever mice or other rodents it finds in the walls. I’m sure you know that’s just a shed skin. As for the egg, snakes don’t carry things in their mouths. It would have swallowed it whole then just squeezed with its muscles to break the shell before moving on. Snakes swallow everything in place instead of moving it elsewhere. You’re more likely to find there was a larger bird that laid that egg. I’d lean toward it being laid in a nest that fell down inside. Possibly an owl. If it’s empty it would have been there a very long time. Evaporation happens very slowly but it does happen through the shell. It’s not unlikely for a snake to hang around a place where a nest is because they do like to eat eggs and chicks. An egg is a heavy thing for any local animal to carry that high through the walls so it’s unlikely to have been carried by a rat or other climbers. The activity upstairs will undoubtedly drive the snake away. But they are very beneficial animals to have around your home.
Thanks very much for the information! I had a vision of the snake balancing a chicken’s egg on the tip of his nose 😂 and laughing his head off at the same time!
@@sharong8511 😁
Thank you so much 😊
I enjoy watching you so much! You’re a “down to Earth” family doing your best! Best of luck on this wonderful adventure!
Hi Guys, the little salon your making for yourselves is going to have a fabulous ambiance, cant wait to see the finished room.
Hope to see you all warm and cozy inside this winter…
Loved the video. It’s great to see such rapid progress in the salon. Although I’m aware that a lot more work happened behind the scene. Well done everyone!
Wonderful! Its all coming together. Each step is a step nearer!
This project is so interesting. Love seeing the work and all the details. Some feedback on this episode, the music during the "montage" scenes was a little loud. Volume was great for the dialogue, but had to adjust down for the music. Even though it's GREAT music. :)
Thank you very much 🥰🥰
love you all verymuch
Can’t wait to see the bloopers! Jonathon is too cute xx
Great progress in the salon. You should utilize part of that space you blocked off ...under the TV make a cabinet for electronics ( DVR etc...and a space for DVD's)
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry,Ash, Patrick, Panda and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤ 🪨🧱
I'm just not good with live chat. But, your vlog gets better and better each week. Thougj, I'd be over whelmed with the crumbling walls. (EEKS!)
desde Argentina los sigo con mucho placer, gracias por compartir vuestro hermoso proyecto familiar!!
Terry, you are such a sweetheart 🤗🇦🇺
Gloves! I would be a mess without. Much success. You are doing wonders.
You should definitely put the wall lights on a dimmer. Will give you much more control over the mood of the lighting.
France is so much easier to do restoration on anything than Italy!
I’m watching the difference on the different project’s in both countries.
You guys are doing the work yourselves where I Italy you have to use contractors for everything and certain areas have set colors you can use on like a pool.
Very interesting!👍👏👏👏
Love the family working together.😍
Much love to you all. You are an inspiration to us all. Hugs. Enjoy walking beside you on your journey.
I don't need to be a patron to feel included into your endeavour thanks for being so entertaining
Don’t forget to add a few beer bottles when your closing up the walls…my dad found very old beer bottles when he refurbished our kitchen from a very old house in New England,…adds to the history…:-)
