    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.

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!

    @rayn8740 2 года назад +3

    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!

    •  2 года назад +2

      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.

    •  2 года назад +1

    @lale297 2 года назад +1

    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.

    •  2 года назад

      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.

    •  2 года назад

    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.

    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.

    •  2 года назад

      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 😊
