    I really enjoy your videos. May I suggest that it is a little hard to hear much of your videos? Sometimes it is not loud enough. It always sounds a bit muffled like you might be speaking through a pillow. Thanks for sharing your journey in a magnificent house and surroundings.

      It depends who is filming and which camera or phone is used. We'll try to make the quality better!

    Hello, I’m sorry about the death of your beloved horse. Sad. I like the mix of the renovation of your chateau and real life occurrences. I do feel like some background content is missing. Did you produce any video content dealing about your relationship to this chateau? How you fit in as it were, where is the chateau situated in France, etc., etc. You have a bit in the summary. I did not find any such content but maybe your approach is to share a bit about the background in each video. I’m not asking for any private specifics, just yo see how you fit into this chateau. Thanks

      I'm going to address all that little by little, I am going to make one video specifically about how my parents found this chateau which is in Normandy, between Rouen and Caen. The channel is quite new ;-)

    I’ve noticed on others restoration shows that I don’t see people putting stick on felt pads under legs of chairs, tables, beds, etc. In fact under all furniture. Is there not such a thing sold there? I would so hate to see your beautiful floors marred. I’m sure Amazon sells. A very inexpensive solution.

    Your family has done a beautiful job. I know France's tax changes, taxing assets and not income, must have been a challenge for you, but I believe thise changes have been abandoned (?). In any event, so glad you have preserved this piece of France's past.

    Is it possible for you to hold your phone/camera in the landscape position all of the time? It makes a big difference for viewing. Otherwise, enjoying your videos very much.

    Pegs. Most buildings hundreds of years ago used only pegs. Then little by little they created hand made nails, then they squared them off. Eventually we come to what we have today. The pegs allow for contraction and expansion due to weather. Love the music.

    • @chateaudesmortiers1660
      @chateaudesmortiers1660 2 місяці тому

      Yes that's it, pegs. And it's what's between the squares of parquet that enables them to stay together mostly, I'll go into this when I make a video for the other wing of the house. Corrections are always welcome :-)
