I believe the art is in having just the right amount of cameras, in the right place, turned on just for the right amount of time. Otherwise you have to employ a full time video editor to go through the 100s of hours you could capture each week.
Oversharing moment: I have MS and can’t physically do much. I can’t work, I can’t even mow my own lawn. These videos help me live out a fantasy of building, using my hands, working.
Wow! That is an ambitious goal. If anyone can do it, it's you three. Before you mentioned this year's goal, Dan, mine for Chaumont, was for the roof to be tiled, proper windows put in and proper floors. I also hoped for electricity (which you already did) and plumbing. But I prefer your goal. I think livable quarters for you is much better. Let's not forget, that everything speeds up now with new skills learned and good equipment. I also think you'll get more sponsors very soon. I also wish for over 1 million subscribers. That's quite doable. Safety, health, love & ca$h for 2025!!!
I spent my life reaching almost impossible goals , between the three of you working side by side I see no reason why you all can’t reach that end result together and see you living in the chateau by the end of 2025 . Don’t forget the topping of the roof off once completed.
Nick has now climbed the highest tree and will refuse to come down. And Brian was last seen mountain biking over the alps 😂 Love the plan for 2025. With all your efforts and relentless hardworking trio, I can’t wait to see how it goes.
I love how you are opening the original door ways. As an architectural designer, circulation is a high priority for me. Excited to see how all the rooms flow together.
Hopefully they’ve been creating blueprints as the go, cataloging all the structural elements including the hidden chases that run throughout the château. While it’s a shell it’s fairly easy to add modern utilities but as they begin to get areas buttoned up, it becomes challenging as your always having to think several steps ahead to avoid having to redo work that’s potentially blocking access to the next area. My work projects & home renovations have both gotten smaller over the last 10 yearsI but I love this stuff and am looking forward to seeing what they accomplish this year!
When there is finally nothing left to do at Chateau du Chaumont but tend the garden, Dan's next career awaits: Consultant teaching others how he made the best videos on UA-cam.
One other great thing about Dan is he is a great Cook! I am sure he will be showing us many other talents he has. Just a genius in all he does sort of man! Happy New Years to Dan/ Nick & Brian! 🎉🎉 yippee you all are alive. ❤ What a fabulous 👌 job today Dan! 🎉
I think having a section fully up and livable is a wonderful goal for 2025. I have a feeling you'll succeed. Look at how much you've accomplished in just the past two years!
Absolutely mad plan, and I am here for it. Can't wait! I have no idea what sort of crisis I will go through when you're finished but it won't be pretty. 😆
I loved the hammer cam. I believe they can do it if Dan will stop cleaning the same bathroom repeatedly. I guess the top floor will be his suite by December. A fun year ahead.
I've followed you since you started vlogging back at last lande, and not missed one, so I've got to know your determination, and ive no doubt that you will achieve your new goal. Good luck can't wait for this year to unfold.❤
OMG! Fantastic goal but as you've achieved miracles this year I guess it might be doable for Team Chaumont!! Hope the trees and dogs are coming along nicely too. Happy New Year 2025 Team Chaumont and extended families!!
Yep, love the goal. I watch every video and wish you all the success for the goal to be achieved! Thank you for the entertainment and inspiration! Happy 2025!
Wow! what an achievement you have reached! I'm a cabinetmaker, for over 50 years, and you might want to save some of those old pipes to make bar clamps when you start wood working. I have used them for about 35 years. it saves a lot of expense and you can make a pipe clamp to any length . They say you need to use black pipe, but galvanized works fine. DougS, Seattle area.
You can do it! The whole place doesn't have to be livable, just enough area to make it comfortable for you. That's such a wonderful goal! It's been incredible watching you guys achieve so much!
They have not achieved much. The guy is now ‘building’ this place for three years and it still doesn’t even have a roof nor windows or proper floors. Just followed a major renovation of a Manor House this burnt down to the walls. The entire house was done after 24 months including all interiors. This is what a team of professionals can pull off and here you are and admire a guy who produces one botched job after the other.
@Asphyxia-l8i You have completely missed the entire point of Dan and his two guys and their amazing accomplishments. I feel very sorry for you and I hope your eyes are opened to see the possibilities inherent in dreams and resilience and love. Hang in there! You may actually grow into something positive and good someday.
@@suzevidz Ok fair enough. Then enlighten me. What is the point that they want to make? Just for your info, I just recently finished another major restoration project myself after three years doing it on the side in my free time. I love old buildings and O treat them with the utmost respect and care, something this nincompoop never even fathomed. Hence, the cheap concrete blocks on the tower, the senseless usage of steel beams before the walls are properly reconstructed, using cheap OSB on the roof etc. The list is endless. Someone who truly cared for this historic building would never in a million years take such shortcuts.
Ahh, I am envisioning the head shaking, eye rolling and possibly words that should not be repeated from Nick and Brian as they heard this years goal with the biggest of smiles on my face. I do have to say though with the 3 of you working together as you do there is no doubt that it will happen. The Trio are an amazing working machine. Here's to 2025!!
I’ve being watching from the beginning, way back to your gardening days. All the very best for 2025 Dan 🎉 Looking forward to your progress this year and I know you will achieve your goals and more.
Happy new year!!!! Fantastic goal for 2025. I will be watching all the vlogs including the ads, liking everything and buying you coffees. I know it’s not much but I hope it all goes to helping you achieve your dream. Thanks for taking us with you on your incredible adventure. ❤
None of your followers can doubt that this goal will be met, and probably exceeded because we all know how committed you all are to this project. Happy New Year to all of us and may we each be propelled forward in our own goals knowing we have the ‘force de chaumont’ blowing into our sails.
And in 2025 the first fruits of the edible walled garden and plenty of flowers in the other garden. 🎉 nature is doing her job while you’re working inside 😊
Great goal. I can’t wait to see part of it as a home again. New memories and a new history beginning within those walls. How exciting - love it. Happy New Year to you, Nick and Brian. They are angels and we all love the dream team xx
Hugely ambitious target - but - aim for the stars......Wishing you, Brian, Nick and respective families, All the Very Best for this coming year. Above all? Keep safe.
The way you 3 work will make that goal achievable without doubt. I look forward to my bedtime viewing for the next 12 months. Good health and love to you all for 2025.❤
Bonjour ! Me too ! i've been loving watching all the progress in 2024 and 2023 !! c'est impressionnant ! alors bon courage pour cette nouvelle année 2025 !! ...thank's
A good goal!! As someone that came across you sometime during the first half of 2024, I have been wondering as to what you intend to do with the fully renovated building. I am very pleased to hear that you intend to live in it and not turn the Chateau into a hotel as so many large old buildings seem to end up becoming. Of course, for all I know, you may very well be planning on using some rooms as paying guest rooms and that is naturally up to you, but to have the Chateau being a home, even in part, is really fantastic and important.
So happy for you for being able to see yourself living in your new home by 2026! Woohoo! So sweet of you to take the tiny little handful Stephanie out to lunch in your Riley! Such a great friend!❣️Love to your darling little boys! Happy New Year to you and your family & Bryan & Nick!❣️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🚜🏰
Dan, thank you for, what I am sure is tedious work, putting together these mazing vlogs for us loyal followers. The smaller tidbits you include, like the phone call ordering the I-beams, sweeping floors, sawing pipes, knocking out walls, it's all so immersive and exciting! Again, thank you! Its coming along fantastically!!
Just what I have been waiting for, the plan for this year..drum roll..By Christmas you are going to be living in at least a portion of the Chateau..What a goal..amazing that's exciting ..you can do it.. if anyone can ❤❤
Your editing sets you way above all the other related chateau shows I've watched, since I met you as Dan the gardener . It is a joy to follow this historically important restoration ,a joy to follow it with the help of just a couple of other, so competent ,friends and such fun to hope you meet your 12 month goal to be in the chateau .
The fact that man has been using a form of hot air (hypocaust) since the Roman’s invented it shows it must have been a good system 😊 We have an awful trend here (Australia) where the builder puts in an en-suite without a door or only a half wall. The occupiers hate having the toilet practically in the bedroom so they work out a way to shut it off. Trends change. That could explain your moving doorway a little bit. Love the goal for 2025. I can see a little part of it set up and a Xmas tree in the corner. Good luck ❤
what a goal Dan…..life is about the journey…..remind yourself, when you have to ajust the timeframes you set yourself……happy new year….will not miss any of your vlogs…..
You in by Dec 2025 even part of it will make me so happy I know you can do it plus you have a awesome team and the best fan club us in the views and comments section. You can do it and we'll be watching. Happy New Year.
Keep cracking on Dan, that will be awesome to see you live In the Chateau full time while restoring the rest. Outstanding all that hard work and commitment is paying off. Kudos to all of you and a prosperous and happy 2025 to you all Dan.
Happy 2025 Dan! Puppy-doggies too! You just don’t slow down, do you? Oh, I know you’ll accomplish your goal, which room will be home? Really looking forward to it ALL! That’s a pretty little chateau and the surrounding areas! Best of luck! Be safe! I’ll be watching! 👀 🍾🎉🥂
Great goal for 2025 Dan. 👍🏆 I can only imagine what Nick and Brian thought of that goal. I believe it’s been far too long you’ve been staying in the Yurt with the puppies like it’s a permanent camping site. All of the most necessary items on your list must be tackled for sure. I hope you bring in those volunteers like you had mentioned in a previous vlog some time ago. I will be watching every episode with anticipation as always.
As always, I’m so impressed with your work ethnic and building knowledge Dan. Considering you’re a chef and gardener. Jack (Dan) of all trades. How wonderful for you and France that you’re saving this historical beauty that has such an emotional story 👍😊
WOW! Where do you find the energy 🤣You are unstoppable. Love that you found and demolished that blocked up doorway. ALL THE BEST IN THIS VERY EXCITING YEAR AHEAD. 😁✅✅✅✅✅
I’m so freaking excited about this goal! You Brian and Nick each have your special super powers and I’m convinced together you will achieve this goal. I’m in for the count! ❤
I have also Watch Dan since his was with the LaLander’s and their garden and Nick as Well 😉👍🏻 It’s a joy follow these 3 guy’s 😊 and the Good work they are doing 👏
Great goal! I hope, I know, you will achieve it. Just don’t bring any more machines on site, nick doesn’t need the distraction. Happy new year. Best in 2025.
I’ve been loving watching all the progress in 2024. There’s history in so many of the things around us and we usually never see it. It’s been wonderful seeing this place come back to life. Best of luck in 2025.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Oh boy........ not one of us is gonna have a negative say about this goal of yours mate............ You have proved the world wrong so often........ Can't wait to hear about the guys reaction to this one!!
Happy 2025, Nick , Brian and Daniel. Well....Huge goal....But I think, team like yours nothing is impossible. You deserve that results the end of the year.
Great ambition for this year! It sounds like the impossible, but that's what all roofs done sounded like as well. So I assume you will achieve this new goal as well. I wish you all a great 2025!
Looking forward to u reaching ur goal!!! Watching this episode is really a milestone... ur no longer working in the elements.. no longer working wet cold and exposed. No longer working in a ruin. Ur now working in an old building... its more of a renovation now!!! Wishing u good health to get ur goal...
Fantastic 2025 Goal !!! Warm, safe, comfy, indoor living at Chaumont! Yes Sir, this is going to be fun to watch. And you are going to learn so much that by 2026 things should be coming together so quickly that light appears at the end of this long long tunnel. Go Dan!
I would love to have seen the guys face when Dan divulged that info … Wide mouth/choking? Eye rolls? Grabbing for employment pages? Calling travel company to get out of France? 😂😂😂
Excellent Goal for 2025! I am absolutely positive you will meet it. So looking forwarding to watching you achieve it. From the Niagara Falls region, Canada.
Wooo hoo! I’ve been watching well, the whole time:) with you as Stephanie’s gardener before you even started a channel:) having said that, HELL YEAH Dan! Don’t know ya and yet so damn proud! Your goal you have set will be so fun and inspiring to watch;). all the best vibes coming from Minnesota hun! You got this!!!
Can we just take a minute to appreciate the amount of camera angles Dan gives us i a short amount time? Editing wizard!
And the timelapses are always just right!
Not a wizard just a bunch of cameras all around.
I believe the art is in having just the right amount of cameras, in the right place, turned on just for the right amount of time. Otherwise you have to employ a full time video editor to go through the 100s of hours you could capture each week.
I noticed that too. He put a lot of effort into this one.

Nick and Brian are rolling their eyes😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Nick will have a hissy fit, when he sees the mess!😊
And shouting: "Calvin!"
Nick will be laughing his head off and Brian will just shake his head. I bet they make it though.
Or expecting their own room in chateau!😂
I spent my life reaching almost impossible goals , between the three of you working side by side I see no reason why you all can’t reach that end result together and see you living in the chateau by the end of 2025 . Don’t forget the topping of the roof off once completed.
Happy New Year! Still remember trees growing all over the ruins, now there is a roof, water, electricity, and gardens. Wohoo!
....and lets not forget......thousands of delightful NOGGINS ❤
@@lindsayholden5959 🤣
But I would need a kitchen!!
Been watching Dan since his LaLande gardener days. Amazing progress all around!
Dan, Nick and Brian all the very best health and happiness for the coming year , looking forward to watching you progress and achieve your goals ❤️
Nick has now climbed the highest tree and will refuse to come down. And Brian was last seen mountain biking over the alps 😂
Love the plan for 2025. With all your efforts and relentless hardworking trio, I can’t wait to see how it goes.
😂😂😂
I love how you are opening the original door ways. As an architectural designer, circulation is a high priority for me. Excited to see how all the rooms flow together.
Those hidden old chimneys or ducting will be perfect for running new services (water, electric etc) around the Chateau
First one I'd put in is the water for a fire sprinkler system. I'd also leave it accessible for future services.
Pretty good as ducting for air heating too I'd imagine.😉
Great observation!
Hopefully they’ve been creating blueprints as the go, cataloging all the structural elements including the hidden chases that run throughout the château. While it’s a shell it’s fairly easy to add modern utilities but as they begin to get areas buttoned up, it becomes challenging as your always having to think several steps ahead to avoid having to redo work that’s potentially blocking access to the next area. My work projects & home renovations have both gotten smaller over the last 10 yearsI but I love this stuff and am looking forward to seeing what they accomplish this year!
The only trouble is accessing them in future to repair breakdowns ,coming from a Fault repairer perspective.
When there is finally nothing left to do at Chateau du Chaumont but tend the garden, Dan's next career awaits: Consultant teaching others how he made the best videos on UA-cam.
Thats another 10 years ahead
One other great thing about Dan is he is a great Cook! I am sure he will be showing us many other talents he has. Just a genius in all he does sort of man! Happy New Years to Dan/ Nick & Brian! 🎉🎉 yippee you all are alive. ❤
What a fabulous 👌 job today Dan! 🎉
He will be too busy in the social set of chateau owners and restorers.
Slow down people, this renovation will take a couple more years at the least.
Let’s enjoy the now and worry about the future later.
@@deborrastrom8559we didnt see that talent either on Christmas neither on New Year.
Would love to have a reaction video with Nick and Brian when they hear the goal.
😂
Brian posted a short reply at Brian's Life in France. ;)
I think having a section fully up and livable is a wonderful goal for 2025. I have a feeling you'll succeed. Look at how much you've accomplished in just the past two years!
I CANNOT wait to see what amazing things y'all accomplish this year. Greetings from Wisconsin, USA!!
Happy New Year's! From Illinois USA! I watch everyday can't wait to see progress 2025.

Same here from Champaign, Illinois, US!
Wyoming USA here. I've been watching since 340 subscribers. I grew up with the saying, "Don't burn daylight!" 2025 Blessings.

All the sudden that bathroom makes sense. It must’ve been beautiful coming from the doorway you opened up in this video
Absolutely mad plan, and I am here for it. Can't wait! I have no idea what sort of crisis I will go through when you're finished but it won't be pretty. 😆
We will then need therapy😁
I loved the hammer cam. I believe they can do it if Dan will stop cleaning the same bathroom repeatedly. I guess the top floor will be his suite by December. A fun year ahead.
I would love to live in the basement. After the stone work and floors cleaned!!!! Voila!
11:47 it’s a great goal Dan, I’m with you on it, we all are 😀👍👍
Amazing -big big smile 🫶👍

This episode takes me back to a year ago when Dan was doing it all on his own. It's so satisfying watching an existing doorway reopen.
Pulling beam ends out of the wall….flashback!
what a goal Dan…..life is about the journey…..remind yourself, when you have to ajust the timeframes you set yourself……happy new year….will not miss any of your vlogs…..

I have also Watch Dan since his was with the LaLander’s and their garden and Nick as Well 😉👍🏻 It’s a joy follow these 3 guy’s 😊 and the Good work they are doing 👏
Looks like Dan got a shiny new yellow coat for Christmas.
Great goal! I hope, I know, you will achieve it. Just don’t bring any more machines on site, nick doesn’t need the distraction. Happy new year. Best in 2025.
I’ve been loving watching all the progress in 2024. There’s history in so many of the things around us and we usually never see it. It’s been wonderful seeing this place come back to life. Best of luck in 2025.

It’s going to be a great year! I love this goal! ❤I can’t wait for each new video.

Well....Huge goal....But I think, team like yours nothing is impossible. You deserve that results the end of the year.
Great ambition for this year! It sounds like the impossible, but that's what all roofs done sounded like as well. So I assume you will achieve this new goal as well. I wish you all a great 2025!

Ur now working in an old building... its more of a renovation now!!! Wishing u good health to get ur goal...
Fantastic 2025 Goal !!! Warm, safe, comfy, indoor living at Chaumont! Yes Sir, this is going to be fun to watch. And you are going to learn so much that by 2026 things should be coming together so quickly that light appears at the end of this long long tunnel. Go Dan!
What a wonderful goal!! I can't wait to see all you do in 2025 (with Brian & Nick)!
Fab goal! Living in the chateau will be a major milestone - we are all behind you and the crew!
Holy f...the 2025 goal, 😮 wauzerz.
I've watched/followed all the previous clips, but this is once again a serious challenge.
Can't wait, let's go!!!
I would love to have seen the guys face when Dan divulged that info … Wide mouth/choking? Eye rolls? Grabbing for employment pages? Calling travel company to get out of France? 😂😂😂
Well, I for one choked on my cereal hearing that goal, so Nick and Brian much have had a few choice words at the very least!! 😆😆😆
Great goal! Exciting year ahead
Excellent Goal for 2025! I am absolutely positive you will meet it. So looking forwarding to watching you achieve it. From the Niagara Falls region, Canada.
