I loved this video so much was happening in it. I agree with you Dan taking the beams away it would make the room very dramatic. You have beautiful sons and so eager to do what Daddy is doing. Have you made a blackberry pie? You are very talented Dan Love to your family. Stephanie Vancouver Island B C Canada
The look on Jack's face when offered a baby's drill was priceless. Your boys are adorable and Dan and Annaleise a great team. Lovely family. It's good to see your hard work creating progress.
Because its a small footprint, increasing the height of the ceiling would make it feel smaller in comparison whereas keeping the joists in place brings it down and makes it feel like a more cosy space. Also, such a huge volume will be a nightmare to heat in winter especially as they are already struggling with a cold drafty house!
I am a structural conservation engineer who mostly works with listed structures and would like to give my input on the issues raised in the video. The 'missing' stones at the bottom of the wall are not due to an animal but rather to water ingress. The stone looks to be quite porous (sandstone? Limestone?) and is susceptible to decay when covered up and wet. You said it was already damp in that corner when you arrived and then there was a shower installed in that location which recently resulted in a burst pipe. With this history, it is clear that the stone has continued to decay and as was very rightly pointed out in the video, turned to dust. This is a very real example of why not to use cement mortars and renders on old stone buildings as this is exactly what happens on the inside although not exactly the issue in this situation. In order to fix this, make sure you take all cement mortar and render off from the inside and the outside of the building (and particularly in that corner) then let it dry out thoroughly (2 weeks since it looks like its hot where you live!) Then shore up the wall and replace the missing stones with the local equivalent. Preferably ask a stone mason to come and do it for you as they will know how to not make the wall fall down as they work on the bottom! And also be able to then repoint with hot mixed lime mortar (make sure it is feebly hydrolic and lime rich which is technical names for make sure its not waterproof premixed stuff as it will not help the situation). While you are dealing with replacing stones etc, i would like to please point out something that almost gave me a heart attack... the jamb to the door opening at 32:45 really needs to be tidied up and formalised as there is cracking at the bearing of the lintle above which shows that its not happy with the lack of support. And then to conclude this very long essay hahahha i will voice my opinion on raising the ceiling in the space. I think it would be good to open part of it for more light and if some of the joists are rotten then why not but i would not recommend removing all of them for the following reasons: firstly, and purely aesthetically, because its a small footprint, increasing the height of the ceiling would make it feel smaller in comparison whereas keeping the joists in place brings it down and makes it feel like a more cosy space. Also, such a huge volume will be a nightmare to heat in winter especially as you are already struggling with a cold drafty house! Secondly, those joists are likely providing some restraint to the gable walls and as such are structurally active members. If removed you might want to discuss some bracing or tie rods with a structural engineer to replace them but this will need to be carefully designed based on the loads and structural actions involved so unfortunately could not be done by yourself. There you go i just couldnt hold back haha and if you need any clarifications or advice on other bits then you know where to find me! Good luck with this awesome project you are doing an amazing job! Just make sure you are always doing what is best for the building.
Thats great thank you,yes I think even if we opened up the floor about we would leave the beams in place still anyway and just look through,unfortunately the french way here is to concrete in and outside of the buildings which does them no good so your constantly batteling with old works to save the building. Luckily the little bakery house has been relatively left alone hence why were wanting to preserve so much of it
I love how you talk to your children you don’t coo at them or molly coddling it’s brilliant seeing boys be boys. Jack using words like spade whilst learning to talk it’s brilliant. I admire you both for being so daring and taking a gamble. I love this channel so much for just being so real. Thank you. What a nice way to end my Sunday. Good night 😴
I’m amazed how Dan and the family makes all work.. I’m sure it’s not an easy task. I do love the loving relationship they have for each other and their beautiful boys. So lovely.
That woman needs some work boots, get her some gloves....then look out Dan!!! Great job, I love how you work together, share your ideas and then make it happen! Big hugs!
How l love old buildings- look at the brickwork around the windows and door frames ♥️ it’s so sad that we don’t see beautiful details and workmanship in contemporary builds. That’s why we’re so moved by restorations shows - the beauty effects you deeply. Good job family- you’re bringing smiles.
I loved watching but couldn’t help chuckling to myself as I imagined the torrent of health and safety advice you’ll receive. For my part I think there is no better way for children to learn than a bit of supervised risk taking 😘
I love your "simple" videos! And I say that with all respect! Your videos are real and don't feel overproduced! And, I like that! 😊🌴🌎🌴 Beautiful family! 💕
Cant wait to see the out side repaired all the cracks an hole's filled in, an tighty...💫 For winter's coming... To bring it back to its glory 💪👌 Its going to be absolutely beautiful Well done Dan... really 😊
Aww the boys are so innocent and cute! Please make a registry of sorts through Amazon or any other website, I'm sure people would love to send things your way. ♥☺
Love how that roof looks. You did a great job Dan, and Annalise, oh my. That close up of your face on your walk. You are gorgeous. Then to see you transition from being the boys Mom to a demolition expert. Women have always multi-tasked, but you're taking it to a new level. More power to you. Thanks so much for sharing this most recent project, and I look forward to seeing what decision is made about the ceiling.
Dan,watching you stand on the ladder putting the covering on the roof was amazing! I think the light in the walkway will work out really well.I enjoyed learning about the tiling! Beautiful walk with the boys!! Annalise,awesome powers of destruction!! The shower didn't stand a chance. Love from Vermont
I am so dining your show! I loved the brick arches in your kitchen! Your boys are adorable! Your home will be so wonderful for years to come when finished. Best of luck and I am still waiting for more of the garden beds and fruit trees to go in! I am so looking forward to seeing Dan work with the espaliered fruit trees! I don't know-how and to learn how to do them! Thanks for showing me so many things! Bravo!
I just love the beautiful countryside that you and your family live in. I would give so much to have those views every day. Your boys are adorable and love the dogs and the cows too. Dan you are amazing at all that you accomplish. Way to go Anna Lise, you crushed it!!!! ❤️❤️😘🙏🇺🇸✨💐☮️🥂😍😍😍😘
Brilliant job annalise well done , I was smiling when you were on your walk and stopped at the BlackBerry Bush, I actually brought my 2yr old grandson and 5year old granddaughter on a walk today and they were eating blackberries from the Bush and loved it 🥰 I have to say dan I love your videos they are fantastic well done little family 💕 love from dublin ireland
It's so refreshing watching your journey and seeing how well husband and wife plus children all can work together. your making progress, keep up the good work.
Those Jack and Thomas are going to be wearing tool belts and on the ladders doing construction right next to daddy in no time!! “Baby plastic drill?! 😒” … 😂🤣😂🤣…Lucky boys to grow up in all that clean air and beautiful country side 🥰🥰… Good job mom and dad!! Keep up the good work! 💞
I am so enjoying seeing how everything is coming along. I like how Dan works, he is methodical, takes his time to do things right the first time. Even when it is hard and finicky to do, he just keeps on going.
Truly admire couple who can work together and these two are admirable the boys are super cute! Totally relate what is like to have a perpetual project. Our house is a Gothic Revival built in 1866 until now we are not done with the project yet still on going. We started doing work in our house before I was pregnant and now our son will turn 13 yrs old next month. Not to mention me and husband both have full time job as well. That's why I admire these couple so much because I know how it is joggling with house project have two kids with pigs chicken and job. Well done you guys!!!!
You guys are amazing! Such a lovely little family! Your house will be beautiful soon. Your attitude towards life's problems is an example for all of us. Love the vlog! Thank you
(Moira Ashton) Oh that was lovely, seeing the countryside around, and little Jack picking Blackberries!... and the dogs in the river,- bliss!!! The tiles look lovely, Jack is a proper little helper!!! But his face when Daddy suggested getting him a plastic drill !!!! I DON'T THINK SO!!! He would rather have daddy's. 🤩😍🥰
I loved the episode. You'll be so happy you've chosen this life. Keep the faith. We're restoring an old home too, and Annaleise, you need some cute boots to protect your feet (gloves too)!
Progress is being made! Good job Momma on the shower! Dan is going to have plenty of help on his hands in a few years with those boys. I loved the look on Jack’ s cute little face when Dan told home he would get him a plastic baby drill. I don’t think that’s what he had in mind! Love the area around your house.
I am so enjoying your channel you two. Watching Anneliese do demo was strangely satisfying. Videos are so weird it's like you feel like you're part of it even though you're not and you're on the other side of the world. Thank you for sharing a little slice of your life and activities.
YES! take out that floor for a dramatic elevation! it makes spaces feel so much larger and then you can get a christmas present grand chandelier!!!!!❤️❤️❤️you can use other space for storage!
Growing up in the country is great for everyone, especially kids. I grew up picking blackberries in central Missouri almost exactly in the middle of the US. Happy for your family!
Thank you so much for sharing your lives and the progress on your home there is sooo much potential. It's going to look amazing. Love the old brick work... bless you and your family's 🌻🙏🏼🥰
Nice haircut Dan. Once you paint the ceiling and walls of the walkway white it will totally transform the light in that area. Painting it white will bounce the light around.
That would create a large room to heat opening all the way up but I suppose the heat would travel upwards anyway. I loved seeing Anneliese doing some deconstruction. Teamwork makes the dream work!
33:49 taking the floor out will make all the hot air go up, and it will be so hard to heat the space in winter. may be put down a clear layer of plexiglass or something so that you can have the best of both worlds.
@@folla1545 No, I meant a fan or fans all the way up top of upper floor. Not a big ceiling fan. It wouldn't need to be strong. More like when you have forced air heating or like the fans you have in bathrooms, but pushing the air down instead of pulling it up.. Just enough to circulate the warm air back down. It would be a good 16'' above the stove so I can't imagine it would affect cooking.
You've got yourself a demolition mama there Dan! Wow! Your son was very impressed. Two water dogs, we call them Koikertjes ( the little one) and Frisian Stabij. One, the Koikertje, for gathering the ducks and the other for getting shot prey out of the water. Quit special. Love how your kids get along.
I have lots of those flat tiles, we are removing them from our barn(I'm pretty sure they are the same, you can have a look in my vlog) you are welcome to come and help yourself to as many as you need. Not sure where you are but we are about 40 mins from Chateau De LaLande, 20 mins from La Chatre. Is there a way to message people on here?
@@sharong8511 thanks Sharon I'll try that way if I want to make contact but I think they have finished their tiling for now. Strange thing is that they picked the same stone tiles we used for our fireplace hearth probably even from the same Brico!
You could always cover the cinder blocks in the connection with some pieces of stone. It would blend the two buildings together & add the stone effect. Love what you guys are doing.
I think this channel is the real 'do it ourselves' channel comparing to the other one! Hahaha. Keep it up Dan and wife! Your camera works and the quality has improved a little bit! 🎉
I totally agree and never asks for money. I adore this family and how hamble they are. The others are driving expensive cars and hired a cameraman. Go Dan we love you.
Yep completely agree... i think in doing it ourselves he managed to paint a door himself which is great but not what i was expecting from the channel... and not enough about the restoration of the chateau. Guess the fame was premature
But dan and annelise are awesome and are doing such a great job, not to mention how they tech as they go and show us their amazing family! I wholeheartedly agree with their parenting style as their darling boys will grow up with so much experience of practicalities!
@@Liza03V they are really humble. I don't mind if they set up Patreon or Go Fund Me, cuz I think they deserve it. Proper hard work to make sure the little ones in great home 😊
@@hacks.b2987 Is a family starting from scratch and doing all by themselves as part time. Dan is a hard working person trying so hard to provide for his family and the only gear that they have is love, respect and hard work. I totally going to support them. And the only think that they want is to live a hample peaceful life with their children. This is the real Doing it ourselves channel. Go family Dan and Analise and lovely kids.
Love it. Momma can raise a family with one hand and demo a shower with the other. Your my kind of people.
I loved this video so much was happening in it. I agree with you Dan taking the beams away it would make the room very dramatic. You have beautiful sons and so eager to do what Daddy is doing.

Absolutely- I was going to comment on the very same thing!!!
What a lovely moment 🎉🎉🎉priceless in a childhood
Please all watch this channel 2 times if able with the ads in order to help this family. They are sooooo hamble and hard working.
I completely agree with you Dan about opening the ceiling up in the kitchen. That would be soooo dramatic!!! Lovely idea!!!!
And heat rises so it would help make it cooler in there while cooking.
I agree increasing the volume of the room will make it feel so much larger and airy.
I agree. Sorry!
It will be a regretable missed opportunity if the ceiling isnt raised in the kitchen. It will be a smashing room.
Because its a small footprint, increasing the height of the ceiling would make it feel smaller in comparison whereas keeping the joists in place brings it down and makes it feel like a more cosy space. Also, such a huge volume will be a nightmare to heat in winter especially as they are already struggling with a cold drafty house!
"Will I buy you a little plastic babies drill?" The look said it all :)
I know !
LOL so true.
Totally 😆
“I don’t want a baby drill, I want your drill” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dan said the dreaded word "baby".
For someone who didn't want to ruin the tiles she sure let loose on that demo! Well done!

I was thinking exactly the same thing
By the end of the shower demo, Annalise looks like a pro. Good job.
I'm so impressed mum took down her shower! Good job!
i agree with sarah jacks face was priceless when you offered him a plastic drill instead of dads electric drill
Annalise you rock! Awesome demo work although I was a bit worried for your toes demoing in sandals with all that broken tile.
I am enjoying watching your young family. Your children are living the dream.
This is what kids need staying close to nature, beautiful.
I’m amazed how Dan and the family makes all work.. I’m sure it’s not an easy task. I do love the loving relationship they have for each other and their beautiful boys. So lovely.
That woman needs some work boots, get her some gloves....then look out Dan!!! Great job, I love how you work together, share your ideas and then make it happen! Big hugs!
And a decent size sledgehammer, it was painful having to watch her attack the shower with that tiny hammer.
Wise words & advice,
Yes, she was so close to hurting herself.
How l love old buildings- look at the brickwork around the windows and door frames ♥️ it’s so sad that we don’t see beautiful details and workmanship in contemporary builds. That’s why we’re so moved by restorations shows - the beauty effects you deeply. Good job family- you’re bringing smiles.
Love that you are teach your kids how to do build. Dan and Annalise make such a wonderful team..
I loved watching but couldn’t help chuckling to myself as I imagined the torrent of health and safety advice you’ll receive. For my part I think there is no better way for children to learn than a bit of supervised risk taking 😘
I love your "simple" videos! And I say that with all respect! Your videos are real and don't feel overproduced! And, I like that! 😊🌴🌎🌴 Beautiful family! 💕
Well said MJ
L West -Thank You! 😊
Cant wait to see the out side repaired all the cracks an hole's filled in, an tighty...💫
For winter's coming...
To bring it back to its glory 💪👌
Its going to be absolutely beautiful
Well done Dan... really 😊
Annalise, you did a great job demoing the old shower! Very satisfying, I must say!
Not the last time you’ll see a tree growing where it shouldn’t
It will be a gorgeous kitchen
Aww the boys are so innocent and cute! Please make a registry of sorts through Amazon or any other website, I'm sure people would love to send things your way. ♥☺
Love the cows. How awesome. Well done on the roof struts 👍

Great job tearing down the shower...Great therapy!!
Love seeing the boys and Annalise add so much to your already good vlogs.
Enjoyed. Catching up on older videos so Ive seen them all soon.
Doggie in the water was adorable. What a lucky family. Buzz cracks me up.
Such a fun way to spend time together! Love your energy! 🙏🏼💕🙏🏼💕
Nice to see you wearing a t-shirt celebrating Selmar’s dog, Dan!!

Rewatching this video with you all working together and being together was nice. I hope you can always get along as Life progresses.
The boys are adorable and your carpentry skills are very impressive.
The picture quality is brilliant on this one enjoying them very much
I just love the beautiful countryside that you and your family live in. I would give so much to have those views every day. Your boys are adorable and love the dogs and the cows too.
Dan you are amazing at all that you accomplish. Way to go Anna Lise, you crushed it!!!! ❤️❤️😘🙏🇺🇸✨💐☮️🥂😍😍😍😘
I think the kitchen would be a lot cosier with the bakery house kept as is with a second floor upstairs. A whole other space upstairs FANTASTIC.
watching Annalise destroy that shower stall has me laughing like a maniac.. I love you folks.
Found this early video & so enjoyed Annalise taking down the shower wall! Exactly what cheered me up today
Brilliant job annalise well done , I was smiling when you were on your walk and stopped at the BlackBerry Bush, I actually brought my 2yr old grandson and 5year old granddaughter on a walk today and they were eating blackberries from the Bush and loved it 🥰 I have to say dan I love your videos they are fantastic well done little family 💕 love from dublin ireland

Your sons are quickly learning vocabulary...sweet! Well done Dan; the tiles seem in keeping with the style of the cottage.

What a great bit of escapism. I came over from Stephanie’s Channel. It’s a joy to watch you build your home. I wish you well. Xx
Great idea Dan and you could add stainglass film to the window that would reflect around the room .
Where you live looks beautiful. How lovely for the boys to grow up in that amazing countryside. Well done guys!
That would create a large room to heat opening all the way up but I suppose the heat would travel upwards anyway. I loved seeing Anneliese doing some deconstruction. Teamwork makes the dream work!

Beautiful country walk!
Wonderful vlog.Enjoying the journey the boys are soaking up the surroundings learning in France.❤️❤️👏👏
Beautiful countryside....
walks with my grandad are some of my favorite memories too
Nice idea to be open to the attic! The light will be great.
LOL that face! No one wants a baby plastic drill!
Its the same look that Isabelle gives Stephanie when Stephanie says to do something a certain way.lol
The little one looked offended with the suggestion of a plastic drill, bless his little heart. He really wants to help his parents.
What a wonderful family!💕 Husband and wife team up in building and restoring the cottage. Keep it up! We're rooting on you 😊
Excellent new vlog. Thanks so much!
Roof looks great!
Tell her if the ceiling were higher, she can get a chandelier like she wanted. 😉
💓Whatever you decide it will look amazing💓

I am impressed by your skills Dan. Seems like you can do anything you put your mind to!!!
You two are amazing!
So interesting to see how those clay tiles work !
Your best video so far!!! Loving to see how you're getting better and better!
You could always cover the cinder blocks in the connection with some pieces of stone. It would blend the two buildings together & add the stone effect.
Love what you guys are doing.

But dan and annelise are awesome and are doing such a great job, not to mention how they tech as they go and show us their amazing family! I wholeheartedly agree with their parenting style as their darling boys will grow up with so much experience of practicalities!
@@Liza03V they are really humble. I don't mind if they set up Patreon or Go Fund Me, cuz I think they deserve it. Proper hard work to make sure the little ones in great home 😊
@@hacks.b2987 Is a family starting from scratch and doing all by themselves as part time. Dan is a hard working person trying so hard to provide for his family and the only gear that they have is love, respect and hard work. I totally going to support them. And the only think that they want is to live a hample peaceful life with their children. This is the real Doing it ourselves channel. Go family Dan and Analise and lovely kids.
Adorable little ones, Jack & Thoms 🤗 Agree the floor/ceiling must be removed. The room wil look so much bigger.
