What a great idea to leave the stone walls… that front entry tile and the chandelier match perfectly!! The entry way will definitely be a WOW factor 🎉🥰🎊💞
That entryway is beautiful. I had to laugh at your original idea that it would be just a bit of work to do. Having lived through several home renovations I have seen that one never knows how much work will need to be done, and there are always rude surprises as soon as the work starts. So far so good. Keep up the good work.
The entranceway looks absolutely amazing .. I lOove the stone walls open it looks beautifuL.. they are doing that here in older buildings where they leave the old brick exposed in rooms.. but the stone is speaks centuries!.. LOv the chandelier you hung 🖤stunning tiLes on the floor.. that’s great you have the river rocks for materials that are original to the Chateau
Omar apt??? Oma! That granny in Dutch( south African) You guys are really courages... chapeau!🎩 And its bevoming absolutly gorgeous! Waiting for the next one!!
Just discovered your channel, on vlog 12 so far first evening! Refreshing to see a channel of a family renovating a Chateau for a family home! God bless! 😘😘
I am so happy to catch up with you! This video was so interesting and at the end the explanation about natural materials was enlightening. One thing I really appreciate is your focus on using these materials wherever possible.
Nice video! Have you checked into government funding/credits for your remodeling? My brother bought a dilapidated chateau in Burgundy years ago. And for opening it to the public a few times a year they received financial support. Your local Mairie should be able to give you information.
No we haven't as we only recently received our residency permits due to Covid delays and Brexit. I will make some time to go and chat to the Mairie. Again, we arrived in France two days before the first lockdown last year, so it was difficult :) Thank you for the advice x
Hi guys I’ve just found your RUclips this weekend I’m very interested in your project Is your progress on any other media The details you give are very interesting As for you Mrs ! You’ve no need to fear the video camera You are a natural presenter and very easy to listen to As is your Husband 👍👍👍
Ah that is very kind of you to say, thank you. Yes, we are on Facebook under 'The Chronicles of Château de Capelle' which is a private group. Then we have a public page called chateaudecapelle and the same name for Instagram. I hope that helps and thank you for joining us on our journey. We hope you will enjoy it x

@@chateaudecapelle2590 RUclips stopped sending notifications to those of us watching on laptops hooked to large screen monitors (all laptop notifications have been stopped for everyone). An iphone is a tiny thing to try and watch anything
Is it right to understand that the drain pipe has been fixed? I hope so then you can move on with your plans in this area when you are ready. So fun to go on a tour with you and hear about your plans.:)
Love what youve done with the entrance hallway - can't wait to see it with paintings and furniture! Here's a question for you: What on earth are you going to do with your time one day when you are done? Wont you get bored and start over somewhere else, or it your kasteel forever? 😁
glad i have found your vlogs, a tip for your hall floor. You need to use boiled linseed oil and bees wax. The recipe and how to make will be hear on you tube. its what would of been used originally.. keep up the good work!
Will do. We never planned RUclips videos. They were just for our own family albums. The request was made on our Facebook group last year to start a channel and we had to reuse some old footage. We will make sure the future videos are in landscape mode :)
We will get onto that. We had some works done long before we started a RUclips channel which is why some of the old footage was filmed in the wrong format and we had to also get in the swing of things to remember to set up cameras. We started the channel on request of some of our Facebook followers and had to learn a lot along the way. Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching.
Yes apologies. On some videos the screen is narrow as we are using footage from videos that were filmed in portrait mode. We did not plan a RUclips channel initially and took videos for our own family albums. Once people started requesting videos we had to dig these out of the archives and realised they are not in the correct format. Future videos will all be filmed in landscape mode so it can fill your screen. Thank you for watching, we appreciate the kind comments.
If you can get a better microphone. If you use iPhone. Turn the camera around so it can enhance your voices. Every video is very hard to hear the video
Hello, thank you for the feedback and apologies for the sound quality. We are aware that there was a problem. We will ensure that the next video has better audio. Please let us know next week if the problem was solved once the new video is posted. Thank you.
Absolutely! We try to use a basic microphone for the newer videos and be more conscious of our audio, but sometimes we are in a room doing work, or it is an older video, and we do not have all the equipment on hand. We will try harder, but thanks for your patience with our basic setup!

That is correct! Ouma in Afrikaans is grandmother :) Similar in Dutch and German. Thank you for the kind comments.
@@chateaudecapelle2590 in German its Mutti or grossmutti... Oma is only in Dutch!
Not in the parts of Germany where I travelled :) Google Oma in German. It is an endearing term in German too.
@@chateaudecapelle2590Yes, while I lived in the southwest part of Germany they used Oma for Grandmother.

Hi Edward - welcome aboard and we hope you like the videos, we are having fun in their making!
I am so happy to catch up with you! This video was so interesting and at the end the explanation about natural materials was enlightening. One thing I really appreciate is your focus on using these materials wherever possible.
Thank you. We are trying to do a sympathetic restoration...
600 meters is about 6500 sq. feet! That is a nice size property!
So beautiful!! So glad I found your channel. Lovely to see progress on lovely pieces of history!!
Thank you and welcome Chris! 😊

Not at all! :) I can't wait to have a day where I can say: 'What shall we do today?' and not having a huge list of things to do ;)

Great tip, thank you so much and we hope you enjoy the journey! 😊
Are you going to paint all the doors and doorways the grayish blue, instead of the dark wood? I love the gray...
We will keep the grayish blue. I love it too.
Sorry, I haven’t seen all the videos. Were you able to identify if the chateau had a wine cellar? Will you be building one?
There is a 'cave' or cellar which is partially underground and accessed on the ground floor of the main part of the château.
It will be interesting to see it. Maybe a short vlog?
Yes, happy to look into that.
Please film in landscape mode
Will do. We never planned RUclips videos. They were just for our own family albums. The request was made on our Facebook group last year to start a channel and we had to reuse some old footage. We will make sure the future videos are in landscape mode :)
clip-on mics are needed,cant hear you well
Sq m > sq ft = approx 1:10. I live in a 550 sq ft apartment which is approx. 50 sq m.
Can u get on the renovations as they r being done please.
We will get onto that. We had some works done long before we started a RUclips channel which is why some of the old footage was filmed in the wrong format and we had to also get in the swing of things to remember to set up cameras.

You are a beautiful lady don’t be shy of the cameras
When you point, do you go back 24hrs later and brush back and wash down the the stone the following day?💖🇦🇺
Hi Nana, generally yes. We also apply a breathable sealant.
screen is narrow , but love your vlog!!!

I have trouble hearing your videos as the audio seems to fluctuate. Either too low or too high.
Hello, thank you for the feedback and apologies for the sound quality. We are aware that there was a problem. We will ensure that the next video has better audio. Please let us know next week if the problem was solved once the new video is posted. Thank you.
Es ' que vous etre un architect?
You need a wireless Bluetooth microphone called a lavalier.
Absolutely! We try to use a basic microphone for the newer videos and be more conscious of our audio, but sometimes we are in a room doing work, or it is an older video, and we do not have all the equipment on hand. We will try harder, but thanks for your patience with our basic setup!
Difficulty hearing you speak.
I can be a bit soft at times, please give me feedback on some of the latest videos too. I hope it has improved 😊
Difficult to hear
We are aware there were some difficulties with this video. Apologies for this. Please let us know if the other videos were better.
