Collecting wood is actually a hobby of some people. I can vouch that my father has a shed full. Whenever he suggested to my mother that she had too much fabric in her tiny sewing room, she simply raised her eyebrows and pointed at his gigantic shed!
My parents were the same! I had a clearout of fabrics inherited from my Mum & my Granny plus my excess fabrics & some my daughter left at home and I STILL have way too much fabric...oh and yarn too!
My Dad collects old Tractors and my Mom collects loom for weaving. Every time there was a new tractor there would be a new loom within a week or so. They are both in their 90s now and the same rules still apply.
Ahh, Brian. Such a refreshing, effortlessly likable (and multi-talented) gent. Thanks for sharing your life perspective... and your music choices. Spot on.
I never throw out wood. My hubby says I have an issue 😂… but it always comes in handy! Only today I went into the wood collection to build a mini shelter for the Christmas laser projector (not to protect it from rain; but more to ensure it doesn’t catch anyone’s eyes as they enter or leave the house, so it has nice ‘wings’). My wood collection last month meant I was able to build a wooden frame for the raised shower base too… without having to buy new/more wood.
I have to mute it sometimes and put subtitles on. I can't stand jazz. Saxophones make my flesh crawl. Dan had the best music when he worked alone and had nobody to converse with.
Having a layabout today due to strep throat and decided to watch today's vlog on the TV instead of my phone. You now have a new fan, my 3 month old yellow lab! He enjoyed watching you as you were moving around the screen 😊😊😊
@@joyce-el7ix Of course we'd love to see Brian's place. He set up his channel because he wants people to watch. Having seen that enormous outhouse, I'm dying to see the rest of the place.
Hello Irish🍀 I'm glad you get to work on your own Chateau today. Does your Chateau have a name? The picture of the boot room looks really nice. I'm sure you'll be able to replicate it and add your own unique touches to it. Enjoy dinner with your friends.🥂
Hi Brian. I love Pinterest. I too fall into GREAT projects. NEVER throw away lumber. (Or any other bits and bobs!!😂)Your boot room will be gorgeous.🎉 Love and blessings to all.❤❤❤❤
Great vlog Brian. You are a joy to watch and listen to as well Not sure if anyone else feels the same but it’s cool hanging out with you while you’re working on your own place too. It’s like being around someone you’ve known for years 😅 that’s crazy since we’ve never met in person. Looking forward to seeing the finished boot room. Enjoy your time with friends and see you tomorrow.❤❤❤
Hello lovely man 😘 nice to see you again ❣️. My god I love your barn / sheds . So much room love it . I have a double garage with a work space it's never enough room . I need another shed just for all my wood I keep ,like you I don't throw any wood away ,don't think meany people unstand why I keep it all ,as you said theirs always the fire🙂. Love your idear for your boot room that's going to look good . Love your stone wall inside beautiful . Love everything you do . Enjoy every moment the day brings . See you again soon love you 😘😘😘😘😘.
Hey Brian, as long as we have winter, collecting wood is a good thing to do. I love the picture of the boot room; I have no doubt your will be better than that. Have you given us a tour of your "Chateau".... if I missed, I am sorry. Enjoy your dinner. Love from N.Y.
Work smarter not harder Brian! Love it!! Talking to myself… I give myself those little pep-talks all as well. Cheers Brian from the northwest corner of the United States.. 🇺🇸
Your house looks amazing with loads of space, wish you didn't have to think about security so much and could show us more. I love that workshop area - could go mad in there creating all sorts of nonsense!
There is something I really like about you. I could listen to you all day. your videos are fun to watch because you never use slowmo or fastmo. Of which some other guy uses to much.. I really feel like I am sharing your thought process and wisdom. btw Princess Bride forever! Who is following you with the camera?
Mud room is something Brian needs for his grubbies when coming in from bike rides, etc. Looking good Brian. I couldn't help but wonder how you got it level without Nick's directions on which way to move the board! Lol!
Brian I love that idea for the boot room! Everyone should do that it’s so practical and keeps the mess out of the house . Growing up we had a similar place we called the back room. We 6 kids we had a lot of coats,shoes,boots,snow pants etc! Back then we were outdoor kids not like today🤨 I love the painted Pinterest picture. Hope you had a lovely day😎
Fantastic start Brian..cant wait to see the completed bootroom. That stunning stone wall at the end...omg. Thank you for sharing your life, challenges and fun times with us all. Hugs Helen. East Gippsland Australia
Brian, I love your choice of music, that slow jazz brings back so many wonderful memories of my now deceased partner and I slow dancing in the kitchen after cleaning the kitchen up after a nice meal. Thank you again for bringing back these memories. I truly enjoy watching your vlogs.
What?? No noggins?? 😭......yes I saw that little message. But on a brighter note.....I've always wanted a "mud room"....aka...."boot room".. and fuuny thing. I saw that same picture on Pinterest thinking how awesome that would have been to have when my kids were growing up. I actually still want a smaller version. Good luck on your project. I know you can do it 👍
How was camping? Enjoyed today’s vlog- what the kids call “Easter eggs” (hidden messages)? No noggins. 😂 McDs =Dan. ( although coffee not bad imo). What year was your Chateau built? Barn is huge. I feel you made 2 mistakes - airing this as Dan will have u building a new boot room next. 😊 2. Pinterest …..didn’t Monique warn you it’s a rabbit hole ? Ok my teasing for today done. Have a great week 😂
Hi Brian 👋😊 The pint thingy looks really good and I am sure with your additional touch will be great. I confess when you said you would get it done today I was shaking my head saying "No Brian you won't" not because I don't have faith in you but more because even a professional on his own couldn't finish that in what amounts to half a day after the shopping trip. Ok I may or may not watch a lot of channels that build stuff, renovate, restore etc etc 😳😳
Just found you today, recognized you from Escape to Rural France channel. I enjoy you very much there so I’m anticipating enjoying you here as well. This is the first video I’ve watched so I don’t really even have an idea of what your project looks like. I will go back and see where you started. I hope it’s not lame to say that I enjoy your Irish accent very much.😊
Your “boot room” here in the USA is called a “mud room”. Keep up the vlogs and enjoy seeing you on Dan’s channel as well! Hopefully y’all have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.
Love the music Brian. 👍 I was guessing it was going to be shelves or something, but that will be a pretty nice looking “boot room” when you get it done. “Future Brian’s problem” I’m going to use that as I put things away to find in the future, like my Christmas decorations. I need to organize them. 😅
I get into trouble for not throwing out my wood bits??? Also live in France near La Rochelle. I have renovated my barn into a workshop and also renovated a tiny little house which was used by the gardener on my property. This is a wood shed another workshop for wood working and a garage for my tractor. My house was built about 15 years ago but I have done lots of work on it. Would I go back to the UK? never. My quality of life here in France is much much better. Good Luck with the project.
I just love how friendly and warm you are, Brian, and funny, too, o' course! I have a feeling you'll be getting on with your chateau at a faster pace. And we get so see it whenever you share it with us. Love, Jacqueline from New Zealand.
Brian you're an absolute legend. Can I recommend an electric de-piller for your beanie? Remember when you do the talky bits make incremental improvements on presentation. You are the best and it's time for channel take-off.
Hi, I did like watching your project today. It gives me ideas 🙂. Would like more please and can we be nosey and see your Chateau. 🙂 Thank you for sharing, It brightens my day with what is going on in the UK. Very sad over here Not our Country any more 😞.
My husband was a cabinet maker for years. We have "valuable inventory" in his workshop we've moved twice. First time in 1988, second time in 2009. I have often been glad for that inventory when I say " could you make me a.....?
Hi Brian I like the concept of the boot/coat room. The farmers around here use a similar concept. Normslly a heated room to hang wet weather gear, boots etc.
Brian, finally we get to see you working on your on castle just like we previously suggested👍. Life is wonderful friends ❤, coffee, getting to ride a bike and work on your own castle WONDERFUL! We are waiting for the next vlog. Greetings from Sweden🇸🇪👍
More Brian's chateau projects please!! Really enjoyed it, can't wait to see the finished boot room.
Collecting wood is actually a hobby of some people. I can vouch that my father has a shed full. Whenever he suggested to my mother that she had too much fabric in her tiny sewing room, she simply raised her eyebrows and pointed at his gigantic shed!
Whoever has the most, wins! I have tons of yarn!😂
Never have too much fabric.
My parents were the same! I had a clearout of fabrics inherited from my Mum & my Granny plus my excess fabrics & some my daughter left at home and I STILL have way too much fabric...oh and yarn too!
My Dad collects old Tractors and my Mom collects loom for weaving. Every time there was a new tractor there would be a new loom within a week or so. They are both in their 90s now and the same rules still apply.
Ahh, Brian. Such a refreshing, effortlessly likable (and multi-talented) gent. Thanks for sharing your life perspective... and your music choices. Spot on.
What a fantastic old barn you have there Brian!!!
Congratulations and thank you for mowvember! You are a big part of the reason Dan was able to meet the goal! You are awesome 👏
The stone wall is beautiful 😍
Thank you 🤗
There is a rule " Stuff will expand to fill the available space" great vlog, thanks Brian.
It’s happened in my kitchen too.
I never throw out wood. My hubby says I have an issue 😂… but it always comes in handy! Only today I went into the wood collection to build a mini shelter for the Christmas laser projector (not to protect it from rain; but more to ensure it doesn’t catch anyone’s eyes as they enter or leave the house, so it has nice ‘wings’). My wood collection last month meant I was able to build a wooden frame for the raised shower base too… without having to buy new/more wood.
It will nice to see your place for a change not just the garage
Agree. Would like to see more of your chateau please?
Me three but I do understand Dan gets many uninvited to his Chateau. But if you feel safe Brian yes pls.
I would like to see more of that lovely big barn.
Best music I agree! It's looking good Brian!
Great idea for the boot room 😊 I love Pinterest for projects, recipes, and traveling ideas. I liked the " No noggins" on your saw.
“work smarter not harder…..” and how many times do we forget that😉
Wood always has a use😀
You have the best music of any vlog on UA-cam. I love the music!
Just what I thought
I was going to say the same thing!
I have to mute it sometimes and put subtitles on. I can't stand jazz. Saxophones make my flesh crawl.
Dan had the best music when he worked alone and had nobody to converse with.
I agree. I wish I knew who the artists and song titles were.
I absolutely agree!
Its great to see you doing stuff around your chateau!! Thank you!!
First time I have seen your chateau. That is a cool looking home. Will look great when your are finished.😊
..".............coffee...........". gosh that was the line I needed! Now having coffee, thank you sir
You're going to be so happy when you get it finished. Nice addition. 👍
Yes! Always enjoy your personal projets, here's to regular Brian's château series 🥂
An excellent start! Enjoy your evening and see you next time x
Such a good idea to have a dedicated area for entering from the outside. The photo you shared looked quite pleasing and very needed.
We call that a mud room in the US
“Never throw out wood”. Great advice. I made the same decision some years ago for the same reasons.
Great to see you doing work for yourself in your own chateau. Looking forward to seeing the finished project …………… whenever. Chilled music 😊
Cant wait to see it finished and love the wall behind you such a cute little window there also
So happy to see the noggings. I really missed them🎉🎉🎉
I love your humour… “cos that’s a problem for future Brian “!! Me too!! 😂😂😂
Having a layabout today due to strep throat and decided to watch today's vlog on the TV instead of my phone. You now have a new fan, my 3 month old yellow lab! He enjoyed watching you as you were moving around the screen 😊😊😊
Thanks Brian. It was lovely to have a glimpse inside your home. Could we have the full tour one day please?
Let it be. If Brian wants you to see it, he’ll show it. Who are you to invite yourself in?
@@joyce-el7ixan interested viewer. If we don’t ask, how will he know we’re interested? He doesn’t have to show us, we didn’t barge in.
@@joyce-el7ix Of course we'd love to see Brian's place. He set up his channel because he wants people to watch. Having seen that enormous outhouse, I'm dying to see the rest of the place.
We call that area a mud room. Loved the music, as always!
Love your château 😘. Anna and Philip (How to Renovate A Château) did a similar design for their boot room. Could open a coffee bar in your barn 😂😂
Hello Irish🍀 I'm glad you get to work on your own Chateau today. Does your Chateau have a name? The picture of the boot room looks really nice. I'm sure you'll be able to replicate it and add your own unique touches to it. Enjoy dinner with your friends.🥂
Never throw away wood! I built a cat castle from scratch this summer...
Good hint Brian ❤
Oh ma gosh… had no idea you have a chateau too! That’s the best thing I’ve heard today. 🎉
And even if you mean just a house in France that’s just as good 😊
Hi Brian. I love Pinterest. I too fall into GREAT projects. NEVER throw away lumber. (Or any other bits and bobs!!😂)Your boot room will be gorgeous.🎉
Love and blessings to all.❤❤❤❤
Great vlog Brian. You are a joy to watch and listen to as well

Hi, it looks like you have quite a sizeable property there ! Nice ! I love your Irish accent, but would love to hear how you sound speaking French.
I'd have been very surprised if you didn't make a coffee stop. I also enjoy the occasional Mac stop 😁
Good idea Brian! It's already looking good. I hope that you can finish this tomorrow. 💋
I would be interested in seeing more of your house and improvement projects. A proper tour would be awesome.
Hello lovely man 😘 nice to see you again ❣️. My god I love your barn / sheds . So much room love it . I have a double garage with a work space it's never enough room .

I like the cladding vertical.. over the pond when horizontal, they call it ship lathe and do accent walls in it!
Bri - Great choice Smooth Jazz and Pinterest's Mud Room!!!
Work smarter not harder Brian! Love it!! Talking to myself… I give myself those little pep-talks all as well. Cheers Brian from the northwest corner of the United States.. 🇺🇸
Bonjour d'Occitanie
Après l'espace que vous construisez, pour vous changer, il ne manquera plus que d’installer la buanderie dans la même pièce.
I almost spit out my drink when i saw the "no noggings" mark on the table saw... 😂😂😂😂
Oh my. I am here from "Escape to rural France".
What a treasure I just got for the holidays to binge-watch =)
It will be brilliant, definately.⭐️👋
You have a great sense of humour Brian! Good on yo mate!
Good job, Brian! Great music as always.
Cheers.
Love Pinterest! Get all kinds of ideas on there and I think you have found a great solution! Thx for another wonderful vlog Brian 😊
Yes, more of Brian's chateau! Love the boot room idea x
I think it is a farmhouse, not a chateau, which anyway is more Brian’s style. Interested to see more if it.
Your house looks amazing with loads of space, wish you didn't have to think about security so much and could show us more. I love that workshop area - could go mad in there creating all sorts of nonsense!
There is something I really like about you. I could listen to you all day. your videos are fun to watch because you never use slowmo or fastmo. Of which some other guy uses to much..
I really feel like I am sharing your thought process and wisdom. btw Princess Bride forever!
Who is following you with the camera?
Um.....yes he kind of does fastmo. Lol....when he was building the boot room thingy.
Nice project, Brian! Looking forward to seeing how it comes along!
Mud room is something Brian needs for his grubbies when coming in from bike rides, etc. Looking good Brian. I couldn't help but wonder how you got it level without Nick's directions on which way to move the board! Lol!

Loved seeing you work on a project at your home. Great idea for the boot room. Hope to see you do more projects!
I like that all your errands and such include stopping for a coffee or something to eat. That’s how I roll.
LOVE this! The music is fantastic and I love your (what I call) puttering noises lol
Brian, I love your choice of music, that slow jazz brings back so many wonderful memories of my now deceased partner and I slow dancing in the kitchen after cleaning the kitchen up after a nice meal. Thank you again for bringing back these memories. I truly enjoy watching your vlogs.

I know you can do it 👍
The mad Pinterest idea is going to look amazing when you finish. Love the dark grey colour too. 💕🇦🇺
Love your opening music. Love smooth Jazz. I think that doing construction at the Chateau has likely got a bug in you to do something to your place.
I love the silly way you are doing this. Kinda pulling together so much love as well as historical vibes with exceptional music. I approve lovelies!
How was camping? Enjoyed today’s vlog- what the kids call “Easter eggs” (hidden messages)?
No noggins. 😂 McDs =Dan. ( although coffee not bad imo).

The Barn or warehouse-whatever. Huge! My hubs would die for something that big to keep
All of his toys in. ❤
Loved the boot room project! And always the music and photography
Perfect thing for boots n stuff.
Look lovely in a heritage paint colour like Farrow & Ball do, or French equivalent 😊
THAT is gonna look soooo good, when it's done...😊
Nice job on the new build for your boot room , going to look Parfait Brian😘
Wow!!! When do we get a walk through!!!!!! You have a big place!!!
Love the music choices. Looking forward to seeing the boot room finished. Nice to see other parts of your property 😍😘
Hi Brian 👋😊

Fab music from the start, thanks

Château Brian will have the poshest boot room of all the châteaux!!
Love the music Brian. 👍
I was guessing it was going to be shelves or something, but that will be a pretty nice looking “boot room” when you get it done.

Doing things for yourself is so satisfying. Fantastic musical accompaniment. Super as always 😊
I had a chuckle at the “no noggins” on the circular saw …😂
Anyone that likes to tinker will always have a spot for his treasures.. good video
Looking good Brian! Cheers. 🍷
Not a bad start to your project! Nice to know we may see your house. Cheers-
I just love how friendly and warm you are, Brian, and funny, too, o' course!

Hi Brian I like the concept of the boot/coat room. The farmers around here use a similar concept. Normslly a heated room to hang wet weather gear, boots etc.
Strange I just realized that someone was filming you today. Nice to see a little more of your place. Great jazzy music too 🎶
It’s going to be wonderful! Tidy and organised to your needs. Plus out to lunch and then out to dinner? I’d call that a full days work😉😉😳😳😳👏👏👏🙏🏻
Tongue and groove!😊
