The amount of sheer hard physical work you put in Dan whilst filming and editing is beyond me. You are ‘ Super Man Dan’ and are a credit and inspiration for us all. I’ve tried incorporating a bit more work into my day and feel better for it. YOU REALLY ARE A CRAFTSMAN and it’s so interesting to watch you and learn. ✅✅✅✅👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 incredible brick arch ✅✅✅✅
Like the song about Lalande ..Dan's the man..he really does alot ..his kids will be proud of him as they grow and realize how much he has done ..just sayin'...😊🇨🇦
Your archway is brilliant as is your brickwork. I agree if you are doing something it’s worth doing it properly. The brickwork looks good.
Taking on a project that would have made the Average Person want to run away from . Here is a building that has been burnt down and left for the past 50 years abandoned .
Is it your choice to use lime mortar instead of regular cement or have you been directed as part of the conservation of the building?
'Dan' Fell during the making of this as he crossed it. He became cross at the fact that he was forced to cross and that he fell because of it.
He fell into a rage, and then a depression. He had sex with Madaliene. Andrej's former girlfriend. He was scared to do it as was asking if it was ok or if he would be killed. Andrej was sent home and not to return and was on the rocks with her anyway, she had taken a knife to him in threat before.
He did it and then a couple days later threaten suicide in the well by electric shock. He said! This is for Madaliene and all the other whores in entertainment like me!! He was very dramatic that day, so we threw leaves on him and told him jokes to cheer him up.
I love the music and the little noises that you keep during the fast forward parts. Always feel it is a good day for me when you make progress, even if I do not make progress with my work! LOL!!
So impressive, two jobs at the same time. Full time builder and dayly vlogger. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!!
Love all the arches doing a great job Dan and editing is on point
I'm so glad you put the Arch In the doorway. It will look fabulous.
The thing about tidy work is it makes the next step easier.
Well done as usual Dan. 🥳😁👍🏻
Going well, making great strides
Mastered yet another skill, between the kitchen at the house and here, in building brick arches. It’s a shame these have to be covered up, but a skill never goes to waste.
5:20 I like the way you utilized that upside toilet as a launch pad for your buckets. 😀
😬
Damn, your channel is addictive! Congrats on your progress thus far. Love each episode and can't wait to see this project completed! You are one ambitious man! BRAVO! How fantastic that your arch template works for this project upstairs like in the basement. Smart man!
Yes Dan, it is nice to do a nice job on whatever you do and it sure does look nice!!! Too many so called “professionals” can’t hold a candle to past generations in their workmanship. It is refreshing to see someone who actually cares! 😎
I’m fascinated every day by all the things you know how to do and all by yourself. You’re such a stud.
The arches really belong!! 🎉
I really love the instrumental music you use to accompany your vlogs, very upbeat, just like you.
Hello from PEI Canada. Amazing what you accomplished.. will there be any days where the orange pants guy will return
two weeks
@@escapetoruralfrance hurray!!!!!! He will be surprised what has been accomplished
My Dad was in Summerside in 1950's learning to be a Navigator in the RAF....He always spoke very highly of PEI.
@@escapetoruralfrance YAY!! You guys look like you have a ton of fun 😊
@@grahamthebaronhesketh. We moved to PEI from Toronto/Mississauga Ontario. What a different life. People are so laid back and don’t really accept change. The airforce base in Summerside is still used for training, people from CFB NB. Once we saw a parachute that had been deployed hanging in the trees at the base Funny.
Very hard working youngman.
I can hardly wait for this to be done, and watching the kids running through the halls . Soon.
Those kids will be teenagers by the time that chateau is habitable. It’s going to be years before it’s livable again and cost millions of Euros (by engineering estimates)…….does Dan have millions? Don’t think so, but I’ll be watching all the way to the glorious or bitter end.
I believe that he is getting help through the different TV shows. Didn't they just come out a week or so ago and have him pick up the different tools and lumber. I could be totally wrong, it wouldn't be the first time lol. An your defiantly right. It would take a huge budget. Either way I will be so happy to see the kids running around the house lol, children or teenagers. It's fun to watch.
@@kathyritchey9526 They wouldn't pay enough. But Dan is getting more views so his RUclips revenue will be steadily going up. But will we get bored? It's at least 3 years away before he can camp out there, but it be weather tight. Could be another 3 years to do internals. It's a €1 million job, and tbh, probably closer to $2 million. But you can't fault his tenacity and his ability to live in the moment and get the next little step done, without freaking too much on how many steps there will be
@@danellis-jones1591 From what I've heard, those TV shows don't pay anything at all. The folks at Lalacelle participated in My Dream Derelict Home In The Sun. No payment. (Wonder if it's that one he's doing.) Same as with Château DIY and Help! We Bought A Village.
Was wonderin' where the old loo was, clever boy...I love the look of the new brick and especially the view of that upper arch and it's amazing iron rail...what's not to love...!
Dan, tenacity is not the word.. you have pure cudos!! Holy moly, some job👏👏👏. Fantastic.
I love the arched doorways. Upping the bar is something I’m getting used to see from you Dan. Can’t wait to see the next great surprise.
Good evening from the SF Bay Area. I hate to admit it but it looks like fun! Kinda weird. Fantastic job. I was taught that any kind of craft job should be as pretty inside as out, whether you can see it or not. My rule of thumb. Yours, too, I think.
It's exciting to see construction in progress!
your patience and attention to detail are amazing
The best chateau programme on YT.
Buy a small ridged swimming pool. (Kiddy pool) for the brick soaking.
❤❤Finally soaking the bricks 🙌🏻👍🏻 great job Dan you keep getting better and better
Greatings from Anders in Cph,
meet at LaLande Did you see chandeliers at Chateau de BRUGES?
Soo you’ll need to 😊😊
That cement mixer is starting to feel like an old friend!
Nothing sexier than a hard working man doing physical labor !!!
I love seeing your channel grow - well deserved!
North Carolina USA is rooting for you!!!
Way to go 👏 Super fantastic, you are doing a well done job😊❤
The heroic music at the beginning is appropriate for what you are undertaking. Carry on bravely!
How many bricks do you need to lay before you qualify as a brickie? With work looking that good, I'd say any Brickie would be glad to call you one of their own. 💚
How I wished I had you in Texas to rebuild my home place you are a joy for me to watch you do miracles
beautiful work.❤
I see that Dan's clothing has bedded in well the tags have gone astray
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dan, you really need someone at ground level to make up the muck and help to load up the bricks. It must be killing going up and down.
Wow. Very well done! 👏😊✌️🇺🇲
Bravo mi lindo, bravo bravo bravo!!! The Divinity is with you every step of the way!!!
when you take the time to neaten your work up; as you go, you have a good chance of finding and correcting little mistakes.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm missing the music throughout Dan! I know someone said it was too much, but it's you and I think you should play it when you're not talking. I'll probably get feedback for saying that, but everyone sees things different. Ahhh....it just came on as you were placing the bricks on the arch....that's better! You're improving the Chateau in leaps and bounds! The arch is looking great!
You do nice work, Daniel
Well done...... But that going up and down the ladders & the winching up and down of bricks and mortar is going to burn you out before long...some sort of ramp, some sort of conveyor (or sky hook) would be a great help
it will take YEARS to rebuild it like this...
See ya tomorrah
Ment to say great job as well.😊😊😊
You’re an amazing Human Being Dan love your work, just wondering what was the purpose of putting the bricks in water ? Keep up with your fantastic work, it must be so satisfying 💙
You must be super fit just from going up and down those ladders. Seriously well done
I always think about how many steps in a day he must be getting.
@lauraulak4930 We need to gift him a "Fit Bit."
Have you considered building temporary stairs to make movement easier?
@@paulschubert3379 I had said that a ways back. It really makes sense!
You rent a lift for a day to bring all your supplies up to the 3rd floor and and add waste chutes to each floor to stop cleaning the same areas over and over but Dan is never going to do that. I'm pretty sure it's because this way makes for better videos.
Dan, I'm sure we all appreciate the time it takes to reposition the camera to get the best vantage point for filming after every task. (It's got to be frustrating at times to have to stop and do that when you just want to get on with the task at hand!) Still, taking the time to thoughtfully consider the vantage point from the viewers perspective (not doing it hastily) is appreciated. Not all vloggers do that. Your work is your passion and it is fascinating to to observe the progress you make each day. Most well done!
I agree - the camera angles are always on point,.. it really gives you the perspective of space and distance with the close up angles,.. as if we are actually there! Really well done. And the amount of work - physical and then editing that Dan puts in daily is truly astonishing!
Nicely put. It’s true that he really shows us a lot & manoeuvring the camera must take a lot of time. Thanks for pointing that out.👍🏻🇨🇦
Lovin the arch. I dont know how you do it Dan, my knees would be so worn out from climbing the ladder as much as you do.
Another good video Dan. Make sure you make your concrete initials for above the front entrance and gate. It’s definitely your chateaux now.. 🇨🇦
Hello from Montana, USA. Only complaint would be how short your videos are. I could watch your work all day. Keep up the hard work.
Another viewer from Montana, that makes two of us!
Three of us!
Thats 4 of us!
I’m from Philadelphia PA and wish his videos were 2x as long!!
Hello to all you Big Sky folks! I’m from Colorado and love visiting Montana!
I love how the toilet is being put to good use as a pedestal 😂
My thoughts exactly!
Like a flower planter also .
With no help and all the ups and downs on the ladder, I admire the persistence it takes to get just a little done each day. You're amazing Dan!
He does have a very positive attitude and that is what you need when tackling a job like he has .
Think having little targets each day help. As he say ticking another job off the list. Plus thinks like the arch helps when you stand back and look at it.
If you put shims under on each end of the arch mold, it make it easy to remove once it is dry.
That’s actually really good advice
Brilliant, there goes my idea of making it dismantable easily... :D
my thought, exactly. Like a half inch piece of wood that you can knock out later.
Hopefully it will work as it is .
That's what I though too. 😊
I am curious, how often does the building inspectors come to make sure all your repairs are done to code?
There are no building inspectors in France or French building surveyors. Instead it’s each builder’s responsibility to build to the building code.
Don't you have to have engineered plans approved before starting work and need to have them signed off first? La lande have been held up for months waiting for permissions to change a couple of windows .
@@bethbovey7566 That's a listed building I assume. And it's a change that affects the facade. Dan's work is on an internal wall and it's considered a renovation, so no permission required.
@@Ragnar8504Lalande is NOT a Listed Building.
@@downunderveggiegardendiaries OK, didn't know that.
Love how it's all just coming together, nicely done ✅🇨🇦💕👍💯💖
Totally awesome video and arch Dan. Beautiful work you have done.
I think the block and beam floor is a fantastic idea as it is using modern commercial industrial building to speed and strengthen things up. It is great for fire proofing and also good to prevent dry rot and the best ting is the sound proofing element. I LOVE the arch and would love to try and build one after your demonstration. I am glad to see that you have changed the brick laying technique and have now included bricks to tie both rows together. This will really strengthen the walls ! C U Tammorra Dan !
Loving your arches! They look great. See ya tomorrow Dan👋🏻
The place is comming together . Look at the 40 Tons of debree he and the other guy took out and the 40 foot tree in the other room .
Your arch is beautiful. Even though your work will be covered you have the satisfaction of knowing it was done well.
The arch will always be able to be seen in this video for ever.
I was actually waiting for the video to drop. They're so bitesized that they make me eager to get the next one!!
My dad was a bricklayer and always took pride in his work. I think it looks nice when you tidy it up.
My dad was a bricklayer and was the same way. He's retired now, but he still critiques brickwork when he sees it! Cracks me up!
Churchill's hobby was laying bricks.
Lol and what would your dad think of this work :D
I think you’re going to be the fittest man in France doing this job. Very nice work on the chateaux and also very nice work on the videoing as well. You get some interesting angles. A camera on the bucket at one point it looked like. Doing a great job all round. 👏😊
Good job, Dan! I like the arches too and am happy for you that the form for the previous arches worked out for up there. Your legs must hurt at the end of the day from going up and down the ladders several times! I appreciate your hard work and sharing the results with us!
I love the arch! You make everything look so easy.
Has there been a structural surveyor inspecting the whole structure of the the chateau. Crumbling bricks are a worrying factor in the stability of the building for sustainability in the future. The foundation also is it stable enough for the weight of the new build. Being open to the elements for all those years would be a major concern too. It would be a shame that all Dan’s work on attempting to build it back to its former glory could amount to a complete waste of time and money. I certainly hope that is not the case in the end. Best wishes for a successful conclusion ❤️
It would be hard to believe any inspector would approve of this rebuild on such shaky bones. It's a cool place but it should be pushed over and the bricks and stones re-used if possible.
Nowadays inspectors are of no use. They would tell to pull down tower of Pisa as it has clearly bad foundation and tower is dangerous 😂
Don’t you knock your workmanship!!!
It’s damn good 👍
The block and beam flooring would be a good idea, it’s so much faster and in most cases stronger then any other conventual method.
Don’t be put of by the price of it either, the savings made in the speed of erecting it and not needing additional help far outweighs the additional cost.
You are doing such a good job Dan, it is looking great.
Someone may have asked this already…but would it be easier to build the stairs next? Haha! I’m amazed at the hard work and commitment…especially all the ladder climbing! Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
I wish that he had someone for downstairs just to load up the bucket or tie on supplies. Save him all that wear and tear on his knees.
Hello from Uxbridge Ontario, your really accomplishing amazing feats Dan!
Great job Dan! Totally inspiring. Except for the pain I feel when I see your hands...
Appreciate the new music you’ve been using lately Daniel. It’s also really nice that you’re using it more selectively, letting us hear the natural sounds of the work, and not playing the musical segments on a continuous loop, 👍
The bricking looks amazing! I agree it’s good to see a nice neat job even if you are going to cover it up later! You’ll at least have the satisfaction of having done a good job👍
Can any of us imagine, how tired this man is at night?
Dan you are one of the most industrious people I have ever known! You make the most unpleasant task appear down right enjoyable!
Your brick laying is great. The work you do is amazing.
Yes, Sir Winston Churchill (who built brick walls) would be proud of your work Dan, one Englishman to another. Of course Sir Winston would be prouder if your rebuilding one of the more stately homes of England.
Beautiful arch
Love Love Love the choice of music. I work around my stone building and listen to the vlogs and there is so much repetitive scratchy music and then this comes on and it is full relief. It sounds like a great happy end to a movie or the beginning of a Christmas movie. Maybe home alone. Which you are. LOL
You're getting very good at climbing ladders I've noticed!!!
💖👑👑💖🎬🎥📽👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼XX💖😊💖XX Am just getting my hubby into your vlogs .l have told him how hard you work and what a great personality you have .He thi k its amazing what you are doing .honestly you make us feel so happy how you are rebuilding this amazing chateau. Keep on going Dan your boys will be so proud of there dad 😊 has we all are proud of you .l hope you make this building your family home because you deserve to live in such an amazing place 😊
Everyday i look forward to watching your Vblog and the Pethericks Vblog. Truthfully it yours is the one I truly look forward to because you don’t have a lot of tools and toys at your fingertips. You work with the basics and blood and sweat and get such fabulous results. Keep up the super work!
I think what you do is fantastic. Just climbing the ladders is beyond my ability.
When I was 14 my sister and I spent a full summer redoing mortar on the basement of an old barn in northern MI. It took FOREVER to complete. Best summer of my life. Every second was worth ensuring that barn had at least another century in it. We need more people like Dan preserving historic buildings. Keep up the great work! ❤
Just about everyday I see comments on if Dan gets inspections and etc., and maybe one day he'll answer those questions, but if you do a little bit of research, you can answer some of your own questions with the building codes in France. He may not be required to seek building permission. Because he's building this on his own, he may not need an underwritten guarantee. He strikes me as an intellectual man, and maybe he's already checked with the mairie before carrying out any work. I suspect Dan is just fine.
Besides it's a renovation, which doesn't need permission anyway, at least that's what I've gathered from the government's web site (there are exceptions, like converting lofts, though).
I am working on my finals, and every evening when i come home from the library I put on the daily episode and it satisfies me so much to see someone being so productive . Bon courage Dan !
Good luck on your finals Taylor!
Your work has inspired me. Thank you
Your doing a great job! U must be as fit as Butchers dog up and down ladders etc 24/7
That arch is looking beautiful
Sure is!
Glad the arch form worked out. The arch looks great and you seem to enjoy the brick work. Yah. Rendering. Your most favorite thing to do.
I just had to post to say how wonderful it is to see this kind of media shared and how nice of a job your doing restoring this old building. Enjoy your humor and personality too.😊
Wherever your inspiration and love comes from for this momentous project is admirable. Your beautiful kids have a wonderful role model.
“It’s nice to get things nice.” And you’re certainly doing that Dan.
I love how he listens to his comments (or i don't know if he decided to change the bricklaying by himself) Dan is just an overall inspiration.
I know he gets lots of advice. What did he change in the bricklaying?
Pre-soaking the bricks, I think.
@@margaretstanton7567 he turned some the other way rather than all the same direction. I saw advice that said it would tie the courses together better
And GLOVES! Dan is wearing gloves, finally...to protect his skin from the lime mortar. Much warning given about that.
Update: After another viewer said they did not see gloves, and after re-checking Vlog, at the end, Dan's hands look like he has gloves on ( like soft, light-colored latex type.) But it is more likely mortar. Ah well! We can hope & encourage.
@@homeemail2306 Dan wearing gloves?? Didn't see that at all in the video! Where is it?
Your camera and story telling work is very impressive and artistic
Lovingly crafted by hand. Beautiful work. In a few years when you are floating down your staircase in your best clothes I wonder if you will recall the ladders.
I don’t think he will ever forget them lol😂
What floating down the stairs ? Knowing Dan he will have decided to build a chateau next door!😅
Great to see you soaking those bricks and I hope that centre comes out without disturbing your work?
Why do you have to soak the bricks
@@jaynebramley755So it doesn't dry out the lime mortar by pulling water out and compromise strenght. Bricks are slightly porous.
Buen episodio Dan, disfruto mucho cuando muestras los avances!! Me resultan sumamente cortos los videos y desearia que fueran mas largos.... Una sugerencia si me permites, puedes utilizar la bañera para mojar ahi los ladrillos y asi poder hacer la mezcla en la altura, en lugar de tener que subir de a uno por vez!! te veo subir esas escaleras, y pienso que a fin de año tendras muy buenas piernas fortalecidas!!🤣🤣🤣 Saludos
Great idea. Less strain on the bucket to lift dry bricks and less time for cement drying out as wet bricks are collected. It will make even more sense as the weather gets warmer.
You're doing my dream currently! I have one tiny helpful tip regarding ladders, if you slide your free hand up the side while climbing, you'll never not be connected to the ladder. A simple safety practice to help you stay not broken physically so you can continue doing great work!
