- Welcome to Chateau de la Ferte!
In this video we show you the progress that we have made of the last 6 months. We have had lots of ups and lots of downs, but we have overcome every challenge we have faced so far and are pushing on.
We are very excited to share our content with you, and we hope you enjoy it and continue to watch!
Please leave a comment if you would like, as this is our favourite part of sharing our content. We love your feedback and interest.
To answer so many comments, the reason lots of the videos are in portrait is because we never intended to do RUclips, instead we did Tiktok which is a portrait format. Because of this, lots of our old videos are in portrait but they showed great footage of our progress which is why we have included them 😊
You just answered my big question! Lol
I'm seeing so many of these château renovations nowadays on RUclips. What a massive undertaking. Ugh! Lol
That cat really likes being on camera.
Thank you ,the blog was great looking forward to your next vlog and thank you Michael Petherick for showing us this beautiful chateux.
You are all hard workers. God Bless
So much work, enormous potential 😊
Wow! Well done! I’m overwhelmed just watching all the work that needs to be done. It’s amazing to see where you started and what has been done so far.
Thank you for watching 😊 its definitely overwhelming, when I first saw it I was very taken back!!
Wow! That is quite an undertaking. But what an adventure! Enjoy the journey, not just the goal.
It definitely is a huge task and we have good and bad days like anyone would, but we love it! Thank you!
What a beautiful Chateau being lovingly restored.
I loved this look into the nitty gritty. And it's quite gritty. Best of all is that you have the skills to do the work and can recreate the life of this place together.
Thank you for your support and confidence in us!!
My, oh my! What a huge undertaking. I can’t even imagine the amount of intestinal fortitude it takes to just get up each morning and start the process all over again. Hats off to you. I’m in awe of your progress thus far and there aren’t enough adjectives to describe my admiration of you and your family for restoring this lovely chateau to its former glory! Cheering you on from PA, USA!
Thank you, it's praise like this that keeps us going. The coffee gets us up in the morning!
Oh my goodness! you are such hard workers!! How brave you all were to take on this enormous task!! I am really looking forward to seeing how you progress 😀💜💜💜
Excellent video and it puts much into context.
Well done looking forward too next vlog
You’re doing a fabulous job of letting us see into your projects.
Very professional filming job.
Thank you!! These are just old videos thrown together that were never actually meant for RUclips, which is why some are portrait 😂 but im glad you enjoyed it!
Most interesting the way catch ip informs viewers, most enjoyable.
Thank you, I did enjoy looking around your home and look forward to viewing more
Great Video! Really enjoyed checking out what you have been up to and hearing about future plans!
Thank you very much! It's a very exciting project 😊
The removing and replacing of the flooring is always just amazing to me.
Thank you for the vlog.. beautiful chateau in progress..
How exciting to see the progress.
My work, so much done in six months, going to be superb when finished.
Love it all! The temporary kitchen might eventually do as a kitchen for the proposed barn gite.
You read our minds!
Looks wonderful
Sue Hall
Wow what undertaking I take my hat off to you all. Thanks for the catch up look forward to the next one
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧🕯🕯🕯💐🍀🌝⭐⭐⭐
Thank you! 😊
It's going to be beautiful! Can't wait to see the progress... Waiting in Texas!
WOW Can’t believe how much has been done. 🤯
Nice video. Such a project you have undertaken! Best.
I'm playing catch-up on your catch-up videos lol. Was excited when Michael had showed us around a bit of your place. Looking forward to seeing your adventures.
Oh, the chateau is going to look so lovely when you are finished.
Good work❣️
Loved it 💖 please keep the videos coming
Beautiful chateau! Good luck 👍🏾
Greetings from Nova Scotia! 🇨🇦 Thanks for your update video - love watching the reality of your renovations!
It is AMAZING how much you have been able to do in such a short time with so few people working on the chateau,well done!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! Its been hard but we are proud!
Well done! Lots of hard work , but it will be worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing👍💜👍
Thank you! My parents are definitely very hard workers!
Bravo! How exciting. I love the chandelier. The new wall lamps look beautiful too.
The lavoir would make a lovely pond for water iris or horse tail or papyri or lilies.
The new joists look great. What an huge improvement.
A fully funtioning kitchen is priceless in a home.
Don't you have gas fireplaces in France? I would swear that when I lived in France 40 years ago our house in Nevers had gas chauffe eau.
You're making great progress... Crack on!
Unfortunately we don’t have mains gas in the village. Any gas appliances we have to run off bottles which are expensive. Hopefully before next winter we will be replacing the boiler with a wood pellet system. Then we can get the radiators up and running but the new oven will be electric
It makes such a big difference being able to carve out a little tiny place for yourself somewhere to eat sleep clean up be warm. You certainly have done a lot in that time and what a find there your well laundry and toilet.
It definitely makes a huge difference improving things like where you eat and shower extra, quality of life becomes much more enjoyable! Thank you for the support!
So glad you have started a channel, it’s all looking great 🥰🏰
🇨🇦❤️Thank you for sharing your progress so far. I’m definitely looking forward to following along as you make your home both functional and beautiful.
👍🏻
Thank you! Glad to have you watching 😊
Enjoyed from Texas!
Thank you for catching us up on what you’ve already done. I look forward to watching continued renovations!
Oh what a beautiful home you are making it. The whole family is working hard. Please be careful with the OSB. As an Architect I don't like using it in old homes as it is not very breathable. Your plaster walls any insulation will never dry out if the home and outside air is humid!! These wonderful old homes need to breathe.
The OSB is only temporarily on the internal walls to hold the kitchen units. Eventually the walls will be plastered with lime so that they breathe as they should.
What a super vlog! It was great to see the past development, thank you…plus great commentary too!😘
Thank you for your comment 😊 always great to have positive feedback!!
Thank you for the video progress! Enjoyed it so much! The chateau is just beautiful!
So happy to hear that you enjoyed it!! Its hard work making these videos but it's worth it when people enjoy the content 😊
It's great to see the progress you guys have made. I love the light fixtures. I'm so glad that you have videos of the work being done, even though you weren't planning on a you tube channel, but this is really interesting & well done, so glad you shared this! Good luck, I can't wait to see more. It's a beautiful chateau! Thank you, take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
Thank you so much for the support! It's a huge challenge we have taken on, but it's hopefully one that our entire family can enjoy in the future!!
So pleased Ash and Terry recommended your channel, excited to follow your journey. 💖
I salute you all for taking care of this beautiful home in need of a lot of love and attention ❤️ It will be an exciting journey for you to be on and a great joy for us to witness!
Thank you for taking us with you 🙏🏽. Warm greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Sadly there are so many places that need saving, but we are happy to be able to contribute and save one! Thank you for the support!
Fantastic progress! I'm excited to see more in the future!
I am delighted to see this update. The bones of the chateau are coming together nicely. Great work family!
Thank you Cindy
A v. beautiful chateau in the middle of a town - we love it !!! Thank you - from Hara & Paul
It’s more of a village than a town but at least we have a bakery, bar and hairdressers. Haha
Hats off to you all. That’s a lot of work.
Astounding!! Such a lot of work, & good on you all!! What a beautiful, albeit exhausting, project!!
Thank you, hard work but looking forward to the end result.
Could be a while
Such a beautiful chateau with so much potential. Thank you for sharing your journey with us all... ❤🇦🇺
Your video was so interesting and informative. Beth has a great voice and I hope she continues to narrate future videos. Thank you for bringing us up to date.
Aw thank you that is very sweet! Hope you continue to watch 😊
PG Tips Amazing looking forward to the progress of chateau this will be great through the winter months !!!! 👏👏👏👍🙏🏻🇬🇧
Definitely going about this renovation in the right order. Fantastic progress for such a difficult part of the process!
Keep up with the great work. I love that there are no short cuts to the effort. It's hard work but the chateau will be solid and last for many many years. Well done team!!
If its gotta be done then it's gotta be done right! Youre absolutely right, we want our work to be worth it and to last!
Amazing find / work on the temporary kitchen and your skills when it comes to things like plumbing and electrics must be really good to pull off what you have so far. 1 plug only to start with in minus 9 weather sounds like the stuff of nightmares!!
Can't wait to watch more of your progress as you turn the place around 👍🏻
Definitely was a shock for my parents when they first moved in! They would fight over who the cat would sleep with at night just to get the extra warmth 😂 it's definitely easier now its summer (ish) and we have more electricity sockets!
Incredible! What a massive job you have yet will be worth it. Every room you finish will bring a Great sense of joy. Best of luck.
Thank you!! Huge job but worth it😊
Can't wait to see how each room gets transformed. 😍
Hopefully Carole will finish the master bedroom by next month for viewing
I love the background information. I truly enjoyed the low tone music.
You guys are actually doing the work and it’s awesome to see you do the work, while listening to a cool music.
Absolutely gorgeous and your cracking on famously, little tip vlog filmed in landscape, super intro by your daughter, she has a lovely speaking voice. Keep the vlogs coming, can’t wait to see your progress xxx
filming in landscape is better to view than portrait xxx
Thank you very much for your kind comment! The video that are in portrait we took before deciding to do RUclips and we didn't want to leave them out as they showed the progress! All new videos we take will be in landscape, but we want to make use of the progress videos too 😊
@ that explains it, if this is your first RUclips than you’ll do really well. Congratulations on a job well done xxx
Thank you Beth for your update. I can’t wait to see more catch up videos. What a find the lavoire was!
I know there is a lot of hard work involved, but the chateau is going to be stunning 🤩
Thank you! And yes we couldn't believe it was there all along, hidden away!
Your father is a great builder by the looks of it brilliant progress wow
Wow! You all have already accomplished so much. I enjoyed the vlog, looking forward to more.
Thank you very much for the support!
I thoroughly enjoyed the catch up and will be keeping an eye out for the updates. Your hard work deserves a mention, well done to you three.
Thank you so much Jayne, it's long hard dirty work, but hopefully worth it in the end when we can sit back and look at what we have
Thank you for catching us up on all of the progress you've made. Remarkable! Looking forward to seeing how you bring this chateau back to life!
Looking forward to showing you the updates
Thanks for sharing.
You guys are so brave to take this project on you definitely have a lot of work to do!
Great work so far guys. Loving the content 👍🍀
Your chateau is so lovely! I can’t believe how much you have already accomplished. What beautiful work. Your daughter does a wonderful job at narrating!
Thank you so much 😊
The cat made me laugh! Of course, you want to video the "master" of the house! The chandelier looks absolutely fabulous! The Nurse in me is yelling every time anyone does any renovations or clean up without masking up! Please please consider your future lung capacity, as there are hundreds of years' worth of dust, mites and goodness know what hiding in all that stuff. Great job with the kitchen. What an exciting find in the garden, even if I did actually know what the french term meant.
Really enjoyed seeing what you’ve done and where you want to go, looking forward to more ! The scope of work is tremendous but Adrian sounds very confident and competent . This is going to be a fun watch . Bon courage from Canada !
So glad you enjoyed!! Yes Adrian is such a hardworker and very talented with what he does (especially as its mostly self taught 😂)!
Thank you Beth. Wonderful to see the progress. Looking forward to more.
Incredible job. You have really done quite a lot of work and it's paying off. Beautiful.
Looking forward to all your hard work. 🇨🇦
What a beautiful Chateau! Can't wait to see the progression as you go!
OMG!!! Since I'm watching from the beginning, this fills in so many gaps. Look how far you've come! Amazing. I wouldn't know where to start and the sheer amount to be done would be daunting. Hats off to you.
Thank you so much!!
I’m happy for you all. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely fantastic work in progress to follow along!! Most interesting vlog of all the Chateaux. Courage!!!!!!
Thank you so much!! That means a lot!
I must confess to falling in love with your exquisite chateau! Loving it as I immediately did, I would have been very concerned for it's fate (some "restorations "of beautiful old buildings make me want to cry).... but it's obvious that it's in very good hands indeed. And those racks over the kitchen fireplace?...those would have been for the spits used for roasting meat. I wonder if they also had a closed stove as well or were they just a bit old fashioned? Great first vlog(s), interesting footage and I am eagerly looking forward to following your progress.
It is gorgeous, we love it! I hope we meet your standards 😂 and that's interesting to know, lots of people have different ideas of what the features on the chateau were once used for, so it's interesting to see different opinions! Thank you for your support 😊
I am really anxious to keep getting updates from you guys! It is so interesting seeing it fom the almost beggining!
Wow! You’ve been working hard! I’m excited to see more progress 😊
There is a setting to change from portrait to landscape, etc. Great deal on Kitchen cabinets. Busy life and cobblestone, new joists and insulation. Whew! Later!
You've accomplished a lot! Look forward to seeing more. Love from Vermont
Amazing amount of work you’ve already accomplished. You were so lucky on getting those kitchen fixtures. It looks great installed. There is so much potential there, it will soon be beautiful and a show piece. I watched your tour that Michael showed and that’s how I found your site.
Loved this!! Well done you guys!
Here from Michaels channel! Hope to see more!
Looking forward to your journey
I enjoyed this very much! Thank you for sharing ❤️
This is gorgeous! Well done!
Thank you Cindy
So exciting to start a project like this. So many possibilities. Love restoration, especially manor houses n chateaus
What a lot of work you have done and so much more to come .really enjoyed your vlog
Way to go, Three Musketeers! Nice job on the kitchen set up!
Thanks! 👍
Being done thoroughly and made to last. Well done guys it’s going to look beautiful, when it’s done you will reap the rewards and have great satisfaction in saying we did that. 🥰🇬🇧🥰
That was so good thank you for sharing
While the scope of the work is daunting, the rewards are stupendous.
Couldn't agree more!
Let there be light!
Great work...
