Can we all give a round of applause for safety rails and a debris clean up for both humans and animals? Thanks, Dan!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻that’s for dan and the new stairs 🤩
You sure get an “Atta Boy” for this job! Well done Dan!😅
Indeed
@@angelaweglarska8428 that clean up was long overdue maybe the outside could be cleaned up too?
So true. In my house we have bad railing design. It is ok for adults, but there is gap under railing is large enough for small child(under 4) to fall through. Nobody did, thank god, but each time we have small child over we have to watch them as hawks.
I hope everyone appreciates the skill in producing and editing such high quality videos. From the shot selection to the drone piloting. It's all brilliant.
#1 Fan here of his superb editing
Absolutely...Dan is a fantastic all rounder...he deserves it all & then some...❤
You need a garden gnome in the image of Nick to keep an eye on things when he's not there.
I got a big laugh picturing Nick as a garden gnome. That's actually a brilliant idea. I'd buy a Nick Gnome!
@@samsmom1491I think alot would
It must include tats and piercings! It would be a hot item in raising funds for chateau, etc. Love it!
👍👍👍💕💕. Imagine a tattoo garden gnome, be a shame to frighten the fairies away 😂😂
Garden gnome in the image of Nick gave me a huge laugh!
Hello, bonjour à tous. During my holidays camp I was very young (my arm was broken by another child, to the left of the chateau) but I remember very well of the entrance hall with its staircases and the dormitory room. Thank you Dan for your job on it.🤓
Which year was that?
My husband likes Dan's channel so much that if I watch without him, he pouts until I put it on TV for him. 😂😂😂
I use my iPhone to project it on the other TVs in the house. He he.
Say hi to the “gardener” for me…
😂😂🤣😂
Its such a unique job/chateau❤
My husband's stops what he is doing to watch Dan.
Staircase looks good and secure and very functional! Nick is a mean planting machine. First year they sleep, second year they creep and third year they leap. Great work boys!🙏❤️
I never heard that but it’s true, although I have a few new plantings that are already creeping. Peach tree I planted last summer is loaded with blossoms and the roses I planted a few weeks ago have new growth. Looks like the hydrangeas will be blooming soon too. Apricot tree is sleeping as it leafed out but no blossoms this year.
@@mlaiuppa It's a common saying by gardeners about perennials. Sleep, creep, leap! Also, for planting clematis: Feet in the shade and head in the sun. We're a poetic bunch. 😊
DAN SEMPRE DANDO SEUS PULOS, E COM O NICK ACESSORANDO, MAIS HABILIDADES AINDA.
Really glad you have made the staircase safe. It will be great for any visitors.
Also safer for you and Nick. I know you don't think so, but don't get blasé about it. Anyone can slip when tired at the end of a long day, especially carrying stuff.
Does railing do go against this show's safety is for weenies vibe though.
Anna and Elsa have grown up so fast! I can't believe how big they are.
That garden is going to be gorgeous when it all grows bigger and fills in.😊😊
Absolutely, yes!! Legacy planting - not sure if that's a proper expression but... when you plant for a future which should out-live you, you're doing it for a bigger reason than personal fulfillment; as-yet unborn future generations will witness it and it doesn't matter if they know who did it or remember your name(s); all that matters is that it will exist and people will find it a pleasure.
Totally agree 100%
All the plants really make the place come alive and feel like home. I love it !!
The view up the lane with the chateau in the background, breath taking.❤❤❤
@@karenmetcalf-pugh5 yes looked beautiful 😍
Nick saying "Periwinkle" = priceless
"A dirty mind is a joy forever" 😅
This project fills me with joy! Restoring this once grand chateau is such a labor of love. What a beautiful endeavor. ❤️
I am a 77year old (still working) lady and I just love love watching you and Nick . What you have achieved is nothing more than Magic. Well done amazing gents. Good to look at too lol🤗
I agree ❤. I'm 74. Handicap.
😂❤
Nick, what you do is everyday surprise. I cannot imagine my day whithout your video. God bless you and your great helpers!
I never fail to be amazed at the amount of work you two (and others, as well) crank out each and every day! And the thought behind everything you do it astounding. It is obvious, that when the last stone is placed, and the last piece of wood is installed, this castle will shine like no other! Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
It was a great day when the yurt went up, fantastic when the basement was cleared, brilliant when the top bits of floor were in and incredible when first bit of roof topped out, but a fully loaded stair ramp with hand boards, this is definitely worthy of a large glass of something zesty, chilled and refreshing! Top man! (Nick is an absolute asset, by the way, and probably doesn’t get the recognition for the awesome work he does… just saying…)
Nick has been a wonderful help. God bless him
RIP Old Workbench 💐
Seems a bit wasteful.
@@donicurioso It's the new way. Everything is disposable. It's why the oceans are full of garbage.
I almost cried when it was cut up
💐🫡🙏🏻😔
Why not unscrew it and reuse it for other things??
Floors, stairs, roof and a garden, wow. Keep it up.
Put like that it almost sounds ready to live in.😅
LOVE LOVE LOVE Dan saying: "Handrails WON'T change how me and Nick work... but it will help people coming to visit the Chateau."
Dan bragging... DON'T attempt this on your own, we're PROFESSIONALS! ❤️🙏
The way you hoover your stairs is different to how I hoover my stairs 😂
😂
These dogs are such good dogs
I know Stephanie will be happy you finished the stairs. Now just finish the loo and she will be really happy!
Pfft. Who needs privacy walls when you're so secluded.😅
Dan’s drone shots make everything better.
Dan iam so happy
You did the rest
Of stair rails. Safety is a game
Changer. Yeah!😊
Stephanie is glad too!
And us Dan watching it’s been scary with no handrail ❤
You work do tirelessly and are like an inverter nothing gets the better of you and Nick is sn amazing strong man, you make an excellent team ❤
Wow, what a difference with the cleanup and so happy to see the staircase fully safe now. Great planting job Nick!
I love love love seeing the dogs running around, darting about, watching everything.....they are a special part of it all!
Two "spirits of the chateau" keeping an eye on everything. 😉 Good doggies!
Dan it’s looking good. Really enjoyed the last few with you and kids and their mum and Stephanie! You two are hysterical together!
Are they not married anymore?
@@rutgershenkthey were never married, but happily living together and renovating a home of their own when a cat at LaLande snuck into his bed.
@@beckysimeone4882I think they had parted company quite a while before he and Cat got together
@@beckysimeone4882 why spread lies when you know nothing?
@@amysimpson646👏👏👏👏👏
OMG! Thank you, Dan! As a single male, you just demonstrated the fastest way to not just “Hoover” the stairs with a leaf blower, but if I open my front door, I bet I can clear out - uh - clean out my house! Haha!
!
I found myself backing away and closing my nostrils!!! 😂🤣🤧 😷
I just love his vacuuming by leaf blower 😊
That's how real men clean 😅😅
My DH bought me one while it was cold weather….since I just HAD to try it out I dusted with it! You would be amazed at what they do on cobwebs! Especially the ones that are up high! I did have to vacuum the floors after but it was still a win in my book!
Made me wonder if I could do that some time…
thanks for installing the hand/guardrail . we don't need a video series on your recovery . all the work is appropriately well done . this project is on the move . looking forward to future videos . cheers
I'm thankful to see those hand rails all the way to the top!
Excellent work and video!
Stay safe and keep up the GREAT work!
Dan laughs at the sight of danger... Danger's his middle name! ❤️🙏
Dan-gers is his first name
Plants are like the furnishings for the outdoors.
Thank you Dan. The stairs look great. The foyer is going through a transformation. The garden will be beautiful. May you all please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Nothing like a video from Dan to improve the day!
The whole LOOK is STUNNING!!! 🥰❤️🌻🎶🌻❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
I can't wait to see the chateau finished. I'm on the Escape to Rural France train and I don't want to get off! 😊 Thanks for all your hard work!
That enormous curved-top window. I am sure it has been in lots of videos, but I just really never noticed it much until today. So lovely. Everything inside and outside looking wonderful. Thank you so much for posting these amazing videos.
That was awesome intro footage. Some of the best yet.
A bit Harry Potterish through the trees with the music…great job
The trees are so vibrant in colour right now , can't wait to see all the plants flower.
AMAZING STAIRCASE AND PLANTING. LOVE the tidying and organising and can’t wait to see the final job indoors and outdoors 😀😀😀✅✅✅
Amazing progress…
7:20
Lady Bracknell suddenly interrupts: "PINK periwinkles?!? Three, each?"
Ian Fleming steps forward, quietly inserts a cigarette into the end of a long holder, lights it and passes it to her. Follows her gaze: "So I see. And as I always say, once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action. Being effectively the opposite of royal blue, they may be sending some kind of signal." Lady Bracknell, now lost in thought, absently taps ash into her open handbag. "indeed, Sir Ian. But what does it mean?".
That rampy-staircase thingy is the best investment you've ever made for your viewers sanity.
As an insanely addicted subscriber 🤪 thank you!
5:28 Ah yes, hoovering the stairs with a leaf blower.* This may be a wistful memory in a few years time, when you've got a feather duster in your hand re-doing the chandeliers.
* We've all been there, eh..?!
So glad for u that u have steps . Makes the up an down a lot easier an speeds up the work. Stay safe
I love what’s going on now but am really looking forward to seeing how the detailing inside progresses once the roof is fully on and things are watertight. As a UA-cam devotee for many years, I have to say this is the best and most addictive channel there is. Superb! 👌
Wheeew... that feels safer now Dan :) Well Done :) Also ... OMG Nick is awesome... I'm so glad he's been so involved to help you out :)
Stephanie will be pleased you completed the stairs!!! I know I am, but still worry about you and your cohorts. What a beautiful garden you are building..
I love how the only day with a horrible and windy weather was the one when you had to do the roof - none before, none since :D
Looking magnificent! 🪜👏🏻👏🏻🤎
You can now imagine with the temporary staircase you have put in Dan what the original from the photo must have looked like. The chateau has changed a lot and it is going to look fantastic when finished. Nick and you have done that garden beautifully can not wait till all the flowers and trees get established, can you imagine what it is going to look like. Where is Cameron, has he gone on holiday? Another lovely video Nick and Dan. Have a lovely day.
Love how sentimental you were with the old workbench - chainsaw to the face!
Love all the new angles with the arches due to the new ramps!
The garden is already looking beautiful, dressed in it's Spring green. Your dogs are also stunning so intelligent and well behaved.
You are a genius Dan. Great vacuum cleaner.
Loved all the housework Dan!
Happy to see building work again! You’re doing great!
Glad to see that sometimes your second self appears 😊
Hi Dan, Nick is such a wonderful friend and hard worker!!! Best to you ALL!
The safety rails make me feel more comfortable just knowing they exist.😆
Wat a big improvement, stair/ramp, cleaned up, garden design....and the special Dan music. 👌🏼 It was a real pleasure to watch. Thank you Dan and Nick❤
See you tomorrow 👋🏽🇳🇱
He played my fav music, it suits the environment so well, intrigue
Both the house and the garden has been transformed. Great job on the staircase. Wow some tidy up ❤️❤️❤️❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
What a journey! I remember when the tree was growing inside the salon! I enjoy your work and dedication....Congratulations!
4:10 Look at how shiny the dog's coat is!
I love the little sneaky peeks of Nick working from behind trees and through windows. Very playful!
Dan: the behinds the scenes-work for preparation is just as involved as the actual Chateau work. But it will make it a lot more easy to navigate. Carol from California
Hi Dan
See you tomorrow
Lots of hugs to the family
🐶❤️🐶❤️
I am pleased that Dan is making the place safer for his boys to run around in. Being children, they will want to explore the place, especially since there are more parts of the building available for exploration now.
Dan, the Wonder Man!!!
Wonder what today will bring!!!
Absolutely love this channel Dan and team. Progress is fabulous!!!
I’m so glad you got that stair case up!!!! I found myself cringing a bit as I’m watching you walk up and down it without the rails. And I can hardly watch the roof work. Prayers, seriously, prayers for the safety of you and everyone else on this project. Beautiful place! Looking forward to watching the progress
Truly agreed 🙏
Dan everything is coming along so well now... you are doing a fantastic job... and I enjoy watching you work. Also always enjoy seeing Nick... he's a treasure.
Love the drone shots of the plants 🌱 and the grounds. Glad the staircase will make things easier and safer for you and your team. Brilliant job all around 😍😘
Was waiting and look what showed up! Woohoo!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen soil so rocky. Makes me appreciate how much effort it took to clear the land for farming, esp back before they had mechanized equipment.
Love seeing the overhead shot of the planting; makes it so much easier to visualize the end result.
Dan u may end up liking chaos and rumbles instead of château life style😅 the stairs must have looked majestic back then.....I can't wait for that project but for now,let's put a roof on the building first.
Going up and down those ramps has to make it so much easier!
Dan continues to impress me. Energetically completing his chateau tasks! Always producing videos that I simple can’t get enough of! I could go on and on…🎉
Dan... You are doing the housework! 💨 I love it. I still see a huge pile of stuff that needs sorting to the left of where the old workshop was. Just saying🤷♀️😂 Ever since you started reclaiming the chateau from the wilds, I have wanted to come along and clean up behind you. Leaving you free to work. What can I say.... sadly, cleaning is my superpower..
I am looking forward to the progress that happens this year!!
Love this project
So much progress! Temporary stairwell really hits! 🙌
Hi Dan
Things are getting better every time we watch you
You are very organized
Lots of hugs to all
🐶❤️🐶❤️
Now I can watch without getting stressed worrying about accidents. It will be much safer for Stephanie and other visitors. Thinking of three words that describe you: Vision, Skill, Determination.
So you did get to keep those racks. Good job Dan. Not only do those racks look sturdy, they have wheels and can be moved around. Heck their trip from gate to planting area proved their strength. They will come in handy.
Fantastic to see the prep for clean efficient future working to improve access and storage. Good planning and great progress 😊
Loved the beginning music and getting an aerial glimpse of the garden.
I just love Nick. DId you, like, hold auditions for the most photogenic, multi-talented, badass?
Awesome video today Dan.
At the end of a work day (last 15 minutes), our framing crew would "scrap out" the entire house build so that when owners walked through in the evening, there would be no tripping or boards with nails to step on. We began each day with tidy jobsite.
Thank you for the handrails. Nice clean up.
Great job you two. As always, anxiously awaiting tomorrow. See ya then👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Festool make some serious kit as do Stihl and no I don’t sell them! Looking forward to seeing the big workshop tools in action! Staircase fabulous, garden amazing! Love it all!
Bravo Dan et Rick, vous faîtes un sacré duo tout les deux. Un duo gagnant !
Can’t wait to see the planting xx
Vraiment intelligent d'avoir pensé aux extérieurs dès le début! C'estquand même fou tout le travail qui a déjà été fait aussi bien à l'extérieurqu'à l'intérieur! On attend évidemment la suite avec impatience et intérêt!évidemment la suite avec impatience!
Now the stairs are complete and safe, I'd love to see your boys reaction when they see the view from the top of the chateau.
I remember when they were first looking at the place, flying a drone over & through it. A real junker! A decidedly huge fixer upper! What a difference! Imagine it completed inside & out!
One can never have too many flowers. Especially pink ones.
This channel is so entertaining and educational. Thank you Dan.
