Dan for the tower roof, here further south we see turrets constructed on the ground, then tiled. A specialist crane driver then lifts the turret and places it. If you have been watching Chateau du Theil, you will have seen exactly this happening.
Wow Dan the view is amazing. The 3 of you work so well together. You've all done a fantastic job rebuilding your Chateau. Can't wait to see how beautiful it will look when your finally done. Keep up the brilliant work, thanks for taking us on this journey with you.
I have watched every single episode. I've never commented, because I wouldn't know what my favorite part is, and it just gets better. (I actually gasped at the next episode!) One of my favorite things throughout, though, is watching y'all's teamwork, especially considering such different personalities. I remember the first time Brian met Nick; he didn't seem sure of what to make of him and he looked really annoyed every time Nick threw the cement into the mixer, bag and all. So I had to chuckle seeing him throwing the whole bag in in this episode. It's the big things like in the next episode, but also these little nuggets. Just wonderful!
With the work you guys have done, transforming a ruin that only Dan would buy into what it is today is a miracle. There is so much more to go, but normal builders can see the value in it now. Amazing
Good morning team ❤ The race to the top is on… And what a amazing race to watch !! ….This grand old lady is coming back from the brink of death to rise above and stand proud on her hill … Amazing achievement guys … See you tomorrow ❤❤❤
The completed heights, just keep melting my heart over and over again. I joined this young man's channel back when all of this progress was a/only a dream. I am so grateful that I chose to subscribe to this amazing dream!
Dan,Nick,Brian my loves. The turret is looking better and better. Soon hopefully you will start on each floor. Hang in there guys. Until tomorrow. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🕊🌈❤️🇺🇸👍😇🙏🌞🌹
Well I am exhausted now just watching everyone lifting the cinder blocks.. And totally impressed! love.. love the puppies..Getting so excited ..soon we will see what a finished silhouette of the chateau will look like .. getting so close now!
@@QuiltyNana Sorry I don’t know but if you follow Dan you can watch all of his videos since he bought the château. The TV show is showing what we have mostly watched on Dans channel except the lovely interview today. Maybe Dan will upload that part at some point, it was quite special.
@@gingerbiscuit4871 Thank you! I thought maybe it was more of the history of the chateau. I have watched Dan's RUclips since they discovered the chateau and before. Thanks so much for the information.
Puppy and you cleaning the cement mixer….. unheard of!!! I remember in the beginning you gave Billy Petherick a hard time for having a clean machine, glad you’ve gone over to the other side 😆 not much longer and you’ll be done with those blocks❤
Can I just say one more time how very impressed I am by the scope of work you young men have taken on. It is amazing and inspiring how you have dived into this major rebuilding of the Chateau. I hope you are the beginning if a trend of people not being afraid of hard graft to achieve a great goal! Again, Congratulations on a job really well begun! Keep the Faith! Stay strong!
Have you considered building the roof on a jig on the ground and then hiring a 60 ton crane for a single lift to place the roof on top? You could have the entire thing built, sheathed and tiled before the lift. Save yourself a metric shit ton of time and effort plus there is the additional safety of working on the ground.
Great idea. He might be able to have the slate installed before lifting. Can you imagine the structure, slate, and interior insulation all done before lifting.
Yes, I think a crane is a very good idea. Many years ago where I lived we had a tower attached onto our home and the top section had to be lifted by a crane truck. It was quite nerve-racking and funny at the same time. It was a round section and it started spinning……. thankfully, all came together.❤ but with your job, he would need a giant crane, I think!
I watched the channel 4 program help we bought a village. Great to see you all with Kat and Calvin, Nick and Brian. The Popek interview was very moving. Excellent work as always. 😊
Just finished watching the three episodes of channel 4 Help! Bought Village (S3, episodes 6-8) featuring the Chateau and Dan (as well as others). Be sure to watch! I’ve seen it all before (OG subscriber) but it is great to look back (if for nothing more than to watch Dan age😅). The interview with Popek (third episode) was especially moving. ❤
You should build the cap to the tower on the ground ( frame/plywood/shingles) and have it craned upto the top and fitted to it. You could build the tower cap on the ground in a fraction of the time it would take building it in place on top and it would also be much, much safer. The only logistical issue would be to make sure you could get a crane onto the property and close enoughto the building.
Good idea. It could be done that way, but would take a lot of crane. I think they would rather build in place to help with costs and to allow minor adjustments to fit along the way.
Yep Dan watched all and loved the interview with one of the boy and what happened in the war 😘Nearly done Dan the tower man 'Loved watching see yer tomorrow for the finale of the tower😘
Your puppy is gorgeous with such a cute little face lying down happily on the armchair. Well done it was really hard work getting those concrete blocks up, good they were not solid! Fantastic views. It's all very exciting. Xxxx❤❤❤❤
Dan, your music selections always fit the scenes, and the time you put into the film course you took a while back shows in every angle of every video you post. Wo much at this channel rates "well done!"
I'm no mathematician but sixty blocks at 19.5kg is a whole lot of weight like 1176 kg and u guys lifted each one ! I think your going to be as strong as marvel heroes!!!😮😮😮😮😮😮👌🏾👌🏾
Are you going to mark the reconstruction finish date? My dad, with any new cement work on a build, was dated with a coin of the year of work. I've carried on the tradition when he and I built a 2 car garage. A few years later, my wife and I built our forever home in 2007 using the coin marker counter sunk to the surface to still expose the coin to see the date. I wish my dad would have been able to see it, but he passed 2 years before we started the build. For you, your boys will be able to see videos from beginning to end of your astounding achievements. Enjoy the chateau with family and friends once you have finished.
Hi Nick, Dan & Brian & sometimes Cat. This channel is my absolute favorite as it is so down to earth real! Great job you all including the pups. Love from Pam in London
Watching 'help we bought a village' today, when you went to see Popee, it was amazing to watch and to see how much you have done. One forgets so quickly!
Brian you are hooked to! We can’t stop watching, it must be an incredible feeling, waking up this sleeping beauty. Oh Dan you popped up on my feed, the channel 4 programme. I loved the interview with the gentleman who lived at the chateau all those years ago. His smile was magic when you showed him the photos of your work.
Throughly enjoyed your appearance on ‘Help we brought a village’ very informative I especially enjoyed the interview with the French comedian (apologies can’t remember how to spell his name) and the special memories he had as a little boy at the Chateau!
Don’t know how much a crane would cost but build the tower on the ground and crane on. Time and effort saved, not to mention safety, would surely out weigh the cost 😀
Please don't add to his pressure--we are all just glad he is allowing us to see what they are doing. I am sure once the roof is on, he will make tehm longer. Right now he is in a big PUSH to get everything closed in by winter.
Love the puppy’s supervising chair/throne 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow, Dan actually cleaning out the cement mixer. I had to go back and watch that again. I wasn’t sure what I was seeing
It’s cos it’s new and shiny😂
Ha. Ha. Ha!!!
I just love how you just keep pushing forward through thick and thin, never stopping. Never quitting. Pretty amazing.
Love how the pup is so good at performing receiving duties when the truck arrives.

Block by block as the mighty tower rises from the ashes. Mighty fine job lads. Keep safe
Good day from the Netherlands, today’s my first day back home after last weeks wednesdays open haert surgery.
Wishing you well!
Wow! Glad you are back home and pray you heal up faster and better than you hope for :)
Protect your sternum.
Speedy recovery from 🇬🇧
Wishing you a rapid recovery! Lynne from Texas 😎
That tower would make a wonderful Observatory… 💋

So much for Brian's vacation!
@AlanW He probably got sunburned from all the nudity!
Exactly what I thought lol
Probably needs a vacation, he's gonna have a big job slating the roof plus creating and installing the flashing and guttering system for it.
@@ralphnoneofyourbusiness7258I’m gonna need photographical evidence, for the sake of science.
@@ralphnoneofyourbusiness7258 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a great spot for an observatory. The kids will love that!
I see Brian has adopted the dan technique cement mixing 😂
😂❤ I noticed that as well
When in Rome 😅
With the work you guys have done, transforming a ruin that only Dan would buy into what it is today is a miracle. There is so much more to go, but normal builders can see the value in it now. Amazing
I am 83 and can really appreciate the strength it takes Nick to quietly come each day and work right up there with the younger menM🎉
Oh yes… I am really only 82
How exciting .you are so close to yet another victory in hauling the poor old broken down structure back to glorious health.❤
Supervisor on that comfy leather chair making sure the cement gets mixed right.
Good morning team ❤
The race to the top is on…
And what a amazing race to watch !! ….This grand old lady is coming back from the brink of death to rise above and stand proud on her hill …
Amazing achievement guys …
See you tomorrow ❤❤❤
Good to see Brian back on the job. No rest for the weary.
That last shot of the view was very exciting!
The completed heights, just keep melting my heart over and over again. I joined this young man's channel back when all of this progress was a/only a dream. I am so grateful that I chose to subscribe to this amazing dream!
What a view. You’re the King of the Mountain now. Woohoo! 🙌
Enjoy the privacy- people nowadays be crazy!
Nick picks those blocks up like they were Legos!
The pup has the right idea. The chair must be calling for one or all of you!😂
The higher you reach, the more challenging it is to rebuild. Exciting times at your chateau! 🇨🇦❤️
Brian couldnt hold himself back anymore from a good days work and had help you guys out!
The truth is they couldn't manage without Brian. :)
I think these 3 boys have some good fun bantering back and forth in good humor🎉 they have to have some fun with this hard work😂
Apparently a dog's life . Bless your backs men .
That tower is going to be magnificent, even more...
Prince Noggins found a comfortable chair to view the kingdom!
I think it’s Princess Noggins 😂
Does she look well? She seems a little fatigued...
Please mind them pups around thoses big lorries,an accident can happen in a minute.
Oh that baby Puppy. Watching Brian working and sending love....😍😍😍😍
He just couldn’t stay away. You are such a good team.
Brian, thank you for helping.
Dan,Nick,Brian my loves. The turret is looking better and better. Soon hopefully you will start on each floor. Hang in there guys. Until tomorrow. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🕊🌈❤️🇺🇸👍😇🙏🌞🌹
I think God showed me your show to let me know through perseverance we will SURVIVE, REBUILD AND OVERCOME. THANK YOU.🙏
You can really see the Staffie in the pup, so it was the neighbors Staffie whom fatherd the pupps. Great videos and acheavment every day.
Stunning work , if I had a passport I'd work for free and this build is past amazing
It's amazing how far you've come this summer. I'm hoping to see a Christmas star at the top of the turret in a couple of months!
It would definitely be seen for miles!
I am so happy that Brian helped you today. You guys are so awesome.
Bad moon risin…works. So excited to watch the progress and teamwork.
That VIEW !!!! 💎, 👍Thanks for that
Big Dan, you're at the top of the world!! We'll see ya tomorrow!!
“How much will we need ?… oh just chuck the whole bag in” love it you guys are an inspiration
that baby's falling asleep watching her dad.❤❤❤❤❤
Gooood morning everyone from Gold Coast Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Well I am exhausted now just watching everyone lifting the cinder blocks.. And totally impressed! love.. love the puppies..Getting so excited ..soon we will see what a finished silhouette of the chateau will look like .. getting so close now!
That view is spectacular! Congratulations with the continuing progress.
I finally get the alert and able to watch it along with everyone else!
So wonderful that you will have such a great record of the work. Every new video is a gift.
Dont forget your lightning conductor... dont want it burning down again!
Brian just stay there with your puppy. You're needed😂
Keep strong lads, you are almost there.
Nice to see you on TV this week, today was an emotional episode revisiting that lovely mans childhood at the château

I can see your excitement now by putting another block to the finish line. It is like a puzzle, putting together these little pieces. Job well done

He still has to block up above the timber door on one of the wings
Great job boys. I love 'Brian's little dog' supervising from the comfort of an armchair xx
The view is breathtaking. Thank u for allowing us to tag along with u.
Kicking butt and taking names team work at its finest. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
1:30 best supervisor ever 😊😊😊😊
Can’t wait to see the turret roof to go on! So excited!!😊
I actually don't. The view is too good and roof will block it.
@@sonarsphere Original turret roof had windows on all four sides, so once they build it, the view of the valley will still be there.

I watch the 2 guys and their village too. Now on RUclips..I am in US
I can’t find Dan on this series. What series and episode is it? My virgin media only has up to series 3
I need to watch that now😢

A helicopter would work too. I'm sure someone will sponsor Dan for the advertising. ❤🎉
I love the fact that you came up with that.
Are you an engineer? Your brain makes me think you are 😊🥂
Was thinking the same. Build it on the ground, crane the whole finished thing onto the turret.
Good idea. It could be done that way, but would take a lot of crane. I think they would rather build in place to help with costs and to allow minor adjustments to fit along the way.
Hiya Dan ❤❤❤ 🙋🏻♀️🐾🐶🐾🐶🐶. You guys are really pushing on now
You guys ROCK! The 3 of you get some much work done and engineered correctly that I am in awe!🙃
Boy what a physical work out that was guys! 60 blocks !!
Coming on in leaps and bounds now! So exciting that the roof will be complete soon. What an achievement!
"Lift that Block, Lift that Pail.......get a lil drunk......and ya land in jail"............my best "Ole Man River" impersonation. 😁

Your puppy is gorgeous with such a cute little face lying down happily on the armchair. Well done it was really hard work getting those concrete blocks up, good they were not solid! Fantastic views. It's all very exciting. Xxxx❤❤❤❤
But will blocks that are not solid be able to handle the weight that is about to go on them???
@@jlotoo850 I feel we can bet that Dan has that all figured out.
@@jlotoo850Perhaps the weight is not going onto the blocks. Perhaps it will stand on the area of ring beam not covered by the blocks.

Great mortaring technique by Nic - very neat and tidy!

Some crane company would probably do it for free for the free advertising, internationally!!!
Greetings from Michigan, you are doing beautiful work on the chateau. Someday I would love to see rural France, it is beautiful there!
I can´t wait to see the turret completed. Amazing work!!! Please consider making longer daily videos
Please don't add to his pressure--we are all just glad he is allowing us to see what they are doing. I am sure once the roof is on, he will make tehm longer. Right now he is in a big PUSH to get everything closed in by winter.
