You have also built muscles up, that you never knew you had I am sure? It really is quite remarkable what you have achieved in the last 6 months! Nick and Cameron and Calvin have been such great help, as you progress at break neck speed. Keep safe, and keep on truckin' young man. xxx

Such skilled friends helping from the dedicated Orange pants, talented Cameron and of course the legendary tree man himself, Nick. Thank you Dan for taking us on this satisfying look back journey of skill, determination ,creativity and dedication. I just can’t wait to be invited through the doors into an amazing finished home. I worry about you lots, and hold my breath as you lift, take a back step, or just crawling around up there. Such an inspiration to watch, thank you Dan.

    I know the work invoved. Renovated an 11th century Chateau in the Languedoc. I took me 11 years and was only 85% finished when i sold it back in 2011. It was a labour of love and hid many time capsules during the work.

There have been several times that i have been on the edge of my seat watching and had to remind myself that you clearly lived through the day because you posted a video. You continue to create quality and compelling content while breathing new life into a beautiful disaster of a building. Please keep going and thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!

Your ability is never in question. Being safe is something else again. We want to see the chateau and you continue to rise. Very proud of you. Now please belt up or whatever is needed to be safe. Sorry to be a bit of a nag. That wobbly scaffolding was a bit breath catching. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. It's truly remarkable.

    Dan my favorite man. Since the beginning you have given all of yourself to the renovations of the chateau. Labor has been the biggest challenge. You have shown such great courage and strength in bringing back this home. Until next time. Take care and stay safe my love. 🍺🙏🌹😇🕊🇺🇸❤️🌈🌞👍

    Looking at the total picture in 12 minutes is an astounding statement of your work! BRAVO DAN! Even though I've seen each episode I watched this montage reliving each milestone (some of it was a bit frightful!). It is really impressive when viewed this way. You're on your way to a fantastic chateau! In a few years unknowing visitors will stop by and nonchalantly ask "did you have to do much?". I'd love to see your face then!

      When visitors come later, perhaps a montage of restoration work (like today's Vlog/update) can be displayed on a computer/TV screen, the way we can program our computers to cycle through our personal photos. That would give a visual answer to the question, "Did you have to do much?"

    It is wonderful to watch your progress on the chateau but just as impressive to see how you’ve grown in confidence from the gardener who came to help Isobel to the amazing film maker and master of all trades that you are becoming ………the world is your oyster Dan
    Take good care of yourself xx

      Dan is the real "Chatelain".
      He's had 150 days and transformed the place.
      Stephanie at Lalaland has had 15 years or more and wallpapered a few rooms or so. Now it's all got to be redone due to structural problems. Talk about neglect!
      Could it be something to do with the fact that Dan works his ass off, while she jetsets around quaffing champagne and frittering away money?

    It's only been 150 days?? What an amazing transformation in such a short time and with little help. Seeing the beekeeper taking out the bees, have you gotten any honey from him yet? Nick and Cameron have done an excellent job with the forest and cleaning up around the outside. And Calvin helping you muck out the first level. All that dirt and debris must have been daunting to say the least. 🍺😎🍺

    Great flash back to what you’ve accomplished in 150 days. I’ve followed you for a while and I knew it was a ton of work and projects but seeing it from your side it is incredible. You’ve see your most happiest when you get a room clean and then that switches to making arches and another switch to floor joists and the actual floors. It is fun and amazing to watch everything you’re accomplishing. Loved seeing you over on The château diaries yesterday and hearing some of Stephanie’s patrons mentioning about being worried you’ll fall. Thank you for sharing!
