That roof is work of art and thing to behold. Thank you for saving it for generations to come!
Thanks for your your message - we're thrilled you're following our journey!
The roof is just a work of art alone. Kevin is cute as a button and I could watch him speak French all day. I’m old enough to be his mother. Please thank him for explaining how the tiles are managed. It is so nice to see everyone care for this Grande Lady.
Thanks for your message... we'll pass on you good wishes to Kevin...
This is most definitely You Tube's most outstanding Chateau Restoration Chanel. Honestly how many times can a person say 'beautiful' in 20 minutes! Thanks for explaining the curved slates. We had wondered how the stunning curves were created. Kevin is a genius. We have nothing but respect for him and his colleagues. Now everyone, Let's all help Felicity, Tim and Truffe get to 250k subscribers.. Share share share. M&R
Thanks Guys - your messages always give us such encouragement!
The tiler certainly knows his craft curved concave and convex. all makes perfect sense.
🙂
Your roof is not just an architectural element, it is a work of art.
Exactly. Thanks for your message.
This roof is certainly the crowning glory of the Chateau! But all that lies within that’s slowly coming to life is a feast to the eyes. ❤
We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the condition of the roof and some of the restoration. Thanks for your message.
Every single episode is like a mini award winning documentary. Outstanding. Felicity and Tim you are amazing!!
Thank you for your wonderful message... and full credit to our amazing artisans without whom the restoration of Chateau de Purnon would be impossible.
But without your vision and commitment, it would never have happened.
Thank you - you're very kind.
The roof is stunning. I hope the craftspeople working on this gorgeous building know how much we appreciate and admire their work. It’s incredible doing something that is part of history and will last for generations.
Thanks for your message. We tell them every day how much their work is appreciated and enjoyed by the people watching these videos.
She is so worth every effort. She is a masterpiece and thank you for saving her.
Thank you! We agree!
The roofers are so skilled, incredible work.
Thank you - we're in awe of their craftsmanship.
Great trade to learn I’m surprised there no ridge. Caps what protection do they use underneath
Phenomenal effort..shout out to the craftsmen...a treasure to behold and appreciate
Thanks for your message and for acknowledging our incredible artisans. Without them, saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible.
Glad to see Supervisor Truffe back on the job!
Learning about the different properties of the slate and the different uses to which it is put was fascinating. I’m constantly in awe of your artisans.
Aren't they just marvellous! We learn from them every day.
I’m loving that your subscribers are increasing - so well deserved as this is the most amazing restoration project on RUclips.
Thank you for your message - we're thrilled you're following our adventure.
250yrs of weathered slate falling away feels like we’re watching the beginning of emergence of a phoenix 🐦🔥
She will be gorgeously beautiful. No words really to describe how I feel about your rescue of this chateau! Truly a landmark for more centuries to come! You saved its history!
Thank you - a wonderful message!
Brings me much joy to watch this amazing old lady come back to life!
We're beyond thrilled that you are taking such joy in our adventure.
Magnificient homes like this are even more amazing when you consider the amount of manual work that used to go into every step of construction. Individually shaping every piece of wood to achieve the amazing roof design - amazing!
Yes... a question we reflect on daily.
Quelle splendeur, bravo à vous et aux artisans.
Merci pour votre message!
Greetings from South Africa. Amazing work on the restoration
Thank you!
Oh my gosh when you see it up close you can see just how beautiful that roof is.
We're thrilled you enjoyed seeing the roof like this.
It's an amazing project to watch and the dedication and skills of everyone involved is outstanding.
Thank you.
You are definitely the very best Chateau restoration channel and hopefully your subscription keep growing. I used to wait for your latest video and watch before bedtime but now we are in daylight saving time in Melbourne I catch up next day. Thank you for another beautiful update.
Sharing the pieces of the original slate roof to raise funds and to remind those who can have this tangible part of Purnon’s history ….⭕️🇫🇷⭕️
We hope people enjoy owning a small piece of Purnon's roof.
The quality of this work is so impressive!!
Thank you - we're thrilled you're enjoying it.
The amount of time, skill and patience in restoring the roof is beyond belief. So interesting watching how each tile is measured, inspected and sorted for placement on the roof. The border on the Purnon wallpaper finishes the entire look of the walls. Always a joy to watch this channel.
Thank you! We're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
Bravo Felicity, ça bosse dur, bientôt un toit étanche , ça change la vie
I have just received my tile coasters today!! Nestled inside a beautifully handcrafted box with the identification of the chateau. Perfect for my sister who has traveled allover the world and lived in France! She will be overwhelmed!
Thanks for your message and your support of our project to save Chateau de Purnon. We hope your sister enjoys owning a small part of Purnon's old slate roof!
You guys are doing great and loving it.
Your knowledge and color schemes in interior are just exquisite.
From Hialeah Florida USA!
Magnifique ! De plus en plus beau ❤
Merci beaucoup!
The roof is definitely a work of art ❤❤❤❤❤and deserves the attention to detail that Kevin and his crew give it. Bravo 👏😍😘
Thank you! We'll let Kevin and the team know!
J’ai trouvé les informations de Kevin sur le toit vraiment très interessant - merçi.
The red wall paper is stunning. The room is going to,be so beautiful.🤗🇨🇦
The roof is just magnificent… as for the wallpaper… what can I say… just beautiful… the framing around it just makes it pop even more… you’re very talented…
P.S. I just adore your pup ❤❤❤
Thanks for your message. We're thrilled that you found so much to enjoy in this episode... especially Truffe who we love to the moon and back.
Pokaždé mi spadne brada když vidím tu zručnost a profesionalitu s jakou se de Purnon rekonstruuje. Jste všichni naprosto úžasní. Moc vám držím palce.
Děkuji za vaši úžasnou zprávu. Jsme rádi, že sledujete naše dobrodružství.
Ohhh Felicity I have a tip to make paint clean up a breeze. Cover the paint tray with a plastic bag, when your done painting remove the bag and you have a clean tray, ready for the next paint.
Not sure which is most fascinating, the ancient oak frame or the precision in putting back the new roof slates. Just amazing!
We're thrilled that you enjoyed this episode.
I always love your choice of background music - well timed and appropriate to this Chateau
It would be cool to see Purnon become a bed and breakfast, where a party of 1-4 gets to have a tour of the property sleep in an open room and have a 18 century French breakfast and dinner during the cheteau’s off hours. Of course with a reasonable price to help support the maintenance after. As this would take place after its restoration
Artisans et propriétaires exceptionnels ❤🇨🇦
Merci beaucoup.
So interesting to hear about the slate roof and how they use the tiles in different places when they are not perfectly straight. The Purnon wallpapers are incredible. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thrilled you enjoyed this episode. Thanks for your message.
Rien qu'en regardant/écoutant les artisans on en apprends des tonnes sans aucune tuile (lol) dans les explications! Merci!
Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié regarder cet épisode.
I did indeed as much as all your previous presentations 😀😉
Thank you!
The wallpaper and trim work is so beautiful 🌸
Thanks - we're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
Heartwarming to see the old Lady's mantle being refreshed. Now if we could just lose the gray paint...kidding. My trigger, your beautiful choice!
Hi Rick, thanks for your message. Technically, not strictly our choice as we were replicating the original colour scheme we uncovered. But we do love it!
I wondered about that. Enjoy!!
Thanks!
A sculpture in slate - simply wonderful! Thanks for sharing this.
So now the roofs fixed, we don’t have to worry about water coming in, we have to worry about water going out,I.e. the humidity, prevention of DRY ROT. 🎉🎉🎉🎉spores are in air, all around us everywhere🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for the explanation on the slate tiles. Straight, concave, convex. Who knew!! I love this channel and this enormous project. Bravo!!!
I absolutely love what is being done to this wonderful chateau. Your channel is my favourite because the history is explained and it is a restoration not a renovation. It will be wonderful in time to come and generations after you will have something to be so proud of.
Thank you for your message - we're thrilled that you're taking joy in our journey.
My favorite channel and another wonderful episode. To witness transformation, restoration, craftsmanship, and to see it in real time is why this is my favorite channel. Amazing!!
❤❤❤Big hugs to all of you that have put in your hard labor, love and amazing skills to restore this beautiful Chateau. There is something so satisfying when you build and create something beautiful. To know that you did it with your own hands. I love the people who can see the beauty in old things and make them beautiful again. Seeing the true beauty of what something can potentially be and putting in that effort to achieve that. My kind of people 😊
Thanks for your wonderful message that captures the deep satisfaction that all of us feel here.
❤
That handsome French model you hired sure knows a lot about slate roofs. 😂
The roof’s framework is a piece of art…just beautiful.
We agree - we marvel at it almost every day!
I love watching your progress. Kudos for all the sweat equity you put into the renovation and creativity in helping to fund this amazing oroject. Aloha from Hawaii.
Encore une fois, merci pour la France !
Merci beaucoup!
How cute is Kevin Guillepian 😍
Wow I'm crying it looks so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
AMAZING what CARE DOES XOXOXOXX ❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE from 🇨🇦
Thrilled you enjoyed it.
The work on the roof is incredible to see, the stunningly beautiful curved design again in evidence, thanks to you both who are without doubt the best thing to happen to Purnon! John in Monmouth 🏴
Thanks John - we're thrilled you're enjoying our journey!
Trim carpenter here. Make sure you're gluing your finish outs on trim and cutting them at appropriate degree. Beautiful
That roof!! Love it!! And the building
Poor Tim, it looks like he gets all the grunt work. You can certainly let all those gorgeous Frenchmen give us a speech, we don't care what they are saying!!! ❤❤❤
Outstanding progress! Love this channel.
Thank you both for sharing with your viewers.. am addicted to your channel🏰
Wonderful! We're thrilled you're enjoying it!
Unbelievable. What an amazing project, and what a great set of skilled tradesmen! all our best to you.
Thank you for acknowledging our artisans - without them, saving Chateau de Purnon would be impossible.
Que bueno, ver cómo es el proceso del retirado de la tejas y como son reemplazados por unas nuevas. Es un procedimiento del8cado y lento, pero, muy didáctico y pedagógico.
Gracias por tu mensaje. Estamos encantados de que haya disfrutado viendo parte de la restauración del techo.
The skill and dedication is fantastic.
Thank you! You honour our incredible artisans.
Another stunning and beautiful video!! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us🙏🏻
Our pleasure - we're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
Enjoying all this roof work especially. What / how do the external corner slates seal out water ingress? The ridge is leaded & the valleys also, I see but not the corners. Hoping to see more of the full size construction of all that wood before it is closed for another few hundred years. The model was helpful at your open day. Watching from Scotland.
It’s mind blowing to see how every tile is measured for the curvature. Thank you for showing that as I wondered how they perfected the different curves on the roof. Fascinating! Patience and passion for the job certainly are virtues of Kevin’s.❤️😊
Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed Kevin's description of the assessment and classification of the roof tiles.
I never realised how fascinating roofing could be! Watching the old tiles being removed, seeing the roof's skeleton and then seeing it restored. It truly is activating. Thank you for sharing this. On the end wall exterior behind the scaffolding I noted two of the windows appear to have been bricked in. Will you be restoring them for symmetry? And Flick I was impressed at your attention to detail and your patience as you worked on the framing around the wall paper, you are just as much an artisan as the others working you Purnon. Well done!
Hi Tracy, thanks for your message. Regarding the false windows, just to clarify, they were built that way at the time of the chateau's construction. They will remain that way because they are part of the building's original design. But when the restoration is finished they will be covered with their restored original window shutters. Thus, just like the ones on the (already) restored eastern wing of the chateau, they will preserve the symmetry and harmony of the building's appearance despite being a 'faux' window.
I love these videos each one feels like a grand design documentary. Can't wait to keep seeing the progress!!
We're thrilled you're enjoying our journey! We look forward to sharing further progress.
We're thrilled you're enjoying the journey.
Very professional vide. I love the way you both interact with each other, along with your summing up at the end.
Thank you - we're thrilled you enjoy our videos.
Framing of the wallpaper, beautiful.
Thank you!
You could turn this into an Airbnb. Hundreds of people would love to spend a few nights and check out the grounds and such
Personally don't like red but I would have to say this wallpaper looks absolutely stunning, great job x
She is so beautiful and deserves a new roof. Very happy.
A wonderful sentiment.
Can´t wait to see the entire roof finished!! its gonna be a big milestone for you guys!
We can't wait for this milestone also.
Thanks!
Great video once again,,
Great to see you guys and Truffe thanks
Thank you - thrilled you enjoyed it.
These artisans continue to amaze me!
Thank you for recognising and acknowledging them.
These skilled tradesmen are artists! Thank you to every single hand that touches this magnificent piece chateau.
Thank you - what are truly wonderful sentiment!
i am so surprised that the wood ( raw cut and green ) still looks SO GOOD in most places !! All the times and changes this old roof has seen , unbelievable , kings and dukes have sheltered here ,
When the water can be kept out, the oak is incredibly durable. Many pieces of the oak frame were recycled when they arrived here more than 200 years ago.
I have immensely enjoyed every one of your videos. I am very impressed with the attention to detail and the obvious passion for accuracy and authenticity that you both bring to the project. I am happy the French government sees the wisdom in assisting such restorations to help preserve the nation's architectural history for the benefit of all.
I noticed a place for a coupon code when buying some of your products. How does one acquire a coupon code?
I love this channel
We're thrilled you're following Greg.
Just PERFECTION!
Thank you - our roofers are extraordinary.
Really looking forward to this episode thank you!
We hope you enjoy it! Thanks for following our journey.
The restoration of the roof is the official coronation of this chatue
Thanks for your message - we're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
Keep up the good work. 👏👏
What a job! Congratulations on a great effort!!!
Thanks for your message!
Brilliant coaster idea!
Thank you! It seemed such a waste to throw them all away!
Love the roofing!
Thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
I didn’t realise how complicated tiling a roof was - have you kept some of the old wood and slate to showcase for yr visitors ? Love the frame around the wallpaper ❤
Yes, we've saved many original decorative elements which will form part of a chateau museum. Thanks for your message.
Wow the museum will be amazing
We hope so!
With all of this invested money - France needs to put portions of the Louvre in it and make it a massive museum and tourist attraction.
All of you do a very good job.
Thank you!
All that good aged oak coming down -firewood forever! So glad you have the ‘umbrella’ this time.i love love love seeing the tiles going on so perfectly. 🇦🇺
Much better than the tarpaulins.
The roof is now slated to being finished. The lady will again wear her magnificent coronet.
Thanks
Thank you very much for your contribution - we appreciate your support.
Love my slate coasters!
We're thrilled! Thanks for supporting our project.
Magnificent...
While I adore how the original roof had naturally cut and curved backing planks with imperfect tiles, I'm loving the perfection of the new roof. 9:25 look at that! wow!
We're thrilled you've enjoyed watching this remarkable transformation.
The roof is the chateau's crowning glory!
Absolutely.
You're the best.
We're thrilled you enjoyed this episode.
Bravo!
Merci!
