Being able to put together what the industry calls a "clip show" with that much progress is quite impressive.

Good for marketing purposes for other builders who might donate some of their work in order to claim participation in this historic effort. Multi-win. 🎉
It’s unimaginable how far you’ve come and unimaginable how far you’ve got to go Dan. God speed young man.
Yes he's doing well and mostly on his own, but there is a lot more in front than behind, hopefully he can get the roof on for the first third of the house where he has most of the floors in so he has got inside work to do over Winter, can't see him doing the Stairwell till next year at present and it's already nearly the second week in August!?!
You say both are "unimaginable," but someone had to imagine it, and turn imagination into reality every step of the way (with occasional help from some good friends)! That would be Dan! 😉
He's got the hardest part handled. Envisioning the task, and getting started on it. Dan is doing an awesome job, and putting a lot of pride and love into it.
No speed ! I don't like people to have to much pressure.
With such a project it is so important to stop and look back periodically at how far you've come. It helps you realise the progress and is encouraging. I even found myself saying wow I forgot about that, and that and that and oh yeah and THAT.
Not just the hard work restoring this chateau but also the brilliant filming needs applause ❤
I know you do filming Dan ,but who is the camera man doing filming on you working ?
@@maureenivory342??
NEVER, did I ever think I would learn to restore a Chateau! Ha! If only I was in my 30’s and found an opportunity to do what you are doing. You are incredibly multifaceted in your knowledge-and you have a sense of humor!
Congratulations, Daniel you are an amazing, brilliant, handsome man with the ability to entertain and charm your community, WHILE, you renovate your Chateau, again, congratulations!!!
It is wonderful to re-watch the amount of clean up and repairs you have made. The thousands of hours, the tons of dirt and ruble moved, the number of trips made to purchase tools and supplies. Absolutely amazing! Congrats Dan
Wow, thanks Dan for the recap it's really amazing how much you have accomplished!!!😊 They need your help over on Maui!!! We all need to say prayers for the folks that have lost so much, God Bless them all !!!
Yes! My son lost his place in Lahaina: burnt to a crisp! And his best friends next door. Thank God they are alright😂❤
@@allisonutsch8898 so,so,Lucky 🍀 you still have your son!!! So many are unaccounted for, I pray for your son and everyone else in that beautiful little town!! God Bless
God help Lahaina please if you're up there!
So sad and tragic, too much loss, too much pain😢
Indeed. They only have foundations left for the footprints of buildings. Seeing nothing else left of multiple apartment blocks is disturbing.
I’m in awe of your resilience and can do attitude. I would love to have had the chance to work on such a project.
I have been doing property repairs for the last 20 years and I can totally understand why you took this job on daunting as it is. What a beautiful building and setting. A real Labour of love.
I forgot just what the chateau was like before you started. Did it ever seem daunting? I never doubted you Dan! Between you and your friends, you are doing a fantastic job! Power to you! Thanks for taking us along!😊
Un-flipping-believable. From dirt and trash covered and clear views to the sky (well, except for the trees) to cleared floors and newly installed upper floors in only 150 days, and mostly alone! Ye gads, Dan. Take it easy on yourself. But keep up the good work too.
You have changed Dan, during your renovation process, to being Dan the man who can. You have grown up, as you build your lady up. You have also built muscles up, that you never knew you had I am sure? It really is quite remarkable what you have achieved in the last 6 months! Nick and Cameron and Calvin have been such great help, as you progress at break neck speed. Keep safe, and keep on truckin' young man. xxx
Those brick archways you made are my favorite part. I think because it's a little bit of beauty in all the structure and hard slogging through dirt and debris. Well done Dan, I'll be here for the next 150 days
What an inspiration you are Dan! With grit and determination, dreams can come true! 🏰
An Amazing role mi del for Prince Harry. 👀
Amazing progress with the help of Nick and his machines, Cameron, Calvin (orange pants man), your neighbour and the “bee man”!
Lots and lots of good Karma sent to you every step from us here too.
❤
Flabbergasted at the extent of your achievements in restoring your dilapidated chateau. Just the planning alone is mind boggling to me. What a legacy you are creating for Jack P and Thomas! Congratulations on all your achievements in 150 days of blood, sweat and tears of joy! See ya tomorra. 🙏❤️
This compilation must have been so encouraging to edit together; the amount of work it reflects is truly remarkable. You've accomplished a lot in a short period of time, Dan, and it's been a great pleasure watching the progress. I remember when you only had a couple thousand subscribers, and while there've been many tough days, you've inspired many of us. Thanks, and congratulations.
Although I have watched every episode since the beginning and have been amazed this retrospective is awe inspiring. Good job Dan!!!!
Dan it was a 150 days worth watching all.
We were all very proud of your achievement.
Well done the chateau will be a home you can be proud to own
I think the building’s history was kind of a deciding factor. A building with that history needed preservation.
Every episode, you don’t see how much has been done. But when you put it all together, it’s amazing what you’ve accomplished.
Just imagine how the world would improve if it was full of Dans! A wonderful, intelligent, funny, hard working, resilient man who is loved by us all. Can’t wait for the next 150 days of Dan’s life at the château!
it is.That is why everything is falling apart. Trash builders
Remarkable, Dan, just how very much you have achieved…and such a big part of it on your own! Well done!!
Dan, you've brought the blood and sweat, while the rest of us are bringing the tears as we watch the transformation of your castle. Well done, you!!
What a lot of hard work has gone into this renovation so far. You are all heroes. Cant wait to see the next 150 days of reno.
Just amazing Dan. Well done.
That is a very serious undertaking. Seeing the many tons of dirt that were filling the structure, the trees, the rusted out I beams, and the brick and stone work that needed to be done. That's definitely a huge challenge. Great work.
Wow! The Chateau is a symphony of transitions. More striking is the transformation of Dan. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! 😊
Bloody hell. It's only when I watched this it reminded me of how much has been accomplished so far by Dan (and with help from friends at times). I'd completely forgotten about the bee nest. It's become addictive watching Dan. His "good morning" and "see you tomorrow has become part of my life. Well Done Dan. I'm excited to see what happens in the upcoming months ahead.
Hard to express, how impressed I am. You are the man, Dan
I’ve been delightfully with you from the first gate opening. The shock of the chateaus condition thru to admiring her great bones. Such skilled friends helping from the dedicated Orange pants, talented Cameron and of course the legendary tree man himself, Nick. Thank you Dan for taking us on this satisfying look back journey of skill, determination ,creativity and dedication. I just can’t wait to be invited through the doors into an amazing finished home. I worry about you lots, and hold my breath as you lift, take a back step, or just crawling around up there. Such an inspiration to watch, thank you Dan.
Amazing transformation already. And it’s only the beginning. Truely wonderful to see it coming back to life. Great job Dan (and friends). 😊
Thank you for the retrospective!! It's always good to remember where we came from to fully appreciate where we're going. You're one-man show is really spectacular, Dan!
Wow, when you put it all together, it’s amazing what you’ve accomplished in less than half a year, & those of us who’ve watched from the beginning know that you’ve done much more than you showed here.
I hope that by doing this compilation & having some fun at Steph’s this week, you’ve had a bit of a rest & recharged your batteries 💕
SOOO much work! And we've been privileged to see the progress EVERY DAY. Great job, Dan!
This reminds me of the saying "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." How does Dan renovate a chateau? One day at a time. Well done Dan!
Well said! 👍
Amen
Really amazing, Dan! Especially when you see it all summarised in one go. You’ve done so much, mostly on your own! Congratulations
Why would you kill an elephant to eat wtf also it would go rotten after a few days ! Who says that !
interesting, well put too!
Impressive summary! Looks like we got a view clips we didn't get to see before. The dedication and ingenuity is admirable.
Already it’s starting to shine in a very short space of time and one things for sure it will only be getting brighter. Such hard work and determination, well done Dan.
You’ve achieved so much in such a short time well done I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again you mr Preston are an inspiration
If you showed only before and after, entitled 'one man, with occasional help' - NOBODY would guess less than a year, much less 150 days !
Where's the old old music??
Great video!! Good to see as a refresher the last 150 days.
When you first started, I thought you were crazy for taking this on and even crazier for the amount you were doing with no help. There have been several times that i have been on the edge of my seat watching and had to remind myself that you clearly lived through the day because you posted a video. You continue to create quality and compelling content while breathing new life into a beautiful disaster of a building. Please keep going and thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!
He’s crazy 😜
But sometimes it’s something good
🤩✨💫
No help?!
I have to say, you did remarkably well. I imagine that a small firm of professional external builders wouldn't have gone so far so quickly and so entertainingly!
Wow, you are amazing, I can't believe you are doing this mostly by yourself and filming at the same time...Can't wait for the next video, I watched all of them in 3 days...LOL
Insane progress Dan - not only on the building but there’s a bit more beef of the twigs for arms now with all that hard work!! 😊 that’s a compliment by the way..
Great recap. All I hear myself saying is 'oh I remember that' over and over. Thanks Dan.
Aw that was brilliant Dan! An excellent reminder of all you’ve achieved. We were shouting Oh the Tank, Oh the Arches, etc. amazing how fickle I am at forgetting! I just don’t know how you decided what to put in and what to leave out as we know that eleven minutes only scratched the surface of what you’ve achieved, you are just beyond amazing. Honestly, there aren’t words to say how proud I am of you.
When you look back you have come along way Dan well done hard work and dedication great achievement cheers mate. 👍🇦🇺👍
150 days of thrilles , chills, fright,joy, happiness, love and the greatest ambition I've ever witnessed, you have amazing talents, striving for perfection is beautifully achieved.
Bless your every move and action.
Bless you and your wonderful family.
Wow, what a transformation in 150 days. Great work, Dan.
Let's all hope the weather improves!
Dan you are amazing, scary but amazing.
And I remember when you were just repairing the odd roof and porch back on your farm project.
150 days went by very fast. Somehow watching at this speed makes me more tired. And worried, you seemed to take some chances with your well being. So glad to be on the journey with you. Congratulations Dan! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I think I started watching your daily videos in the second week. And every day, whether it is in the middle of the night or at breakfast, I am really looking forward to the new video. You are doing such a great job, keep it up!
Dan, you should leave a wall undone to show what the cheateau has been through. From ruins to beauty
So much accomplished! Cant wait til the next 150 days!
It’s been a great journey to watch and to see the channel explode. Thanks for so many hours of enjoyment. I look forward to your videos
So happy to see just how much you have achieved in 150 days and will be here for the next 150 and more.
I'd just love to add my voice to the chorus of "so proud of all your achievements and indefatigable spirit."
The sheer amount of effort, hard grit and dogged determination that has brought you here is truly an
inspiration to so many of us to get moving and create something. Thank you Dan for posting and I hope you
have had at least a little rest after filming Stephanie's patreon days etc etc, your health is a priority.
You never cease to amaze me. Your tenacity, mental and physical determination. Your family must be so proud of you and your achievements.
May you keep going on till you forefill your dreams and then enjoy the fruits of your labour. Bravo.
The amount of progress you have made is absolutely stunning! Seeing the state of the building in the beginning is a reminder of how far you’ve come. I’ve been with you since the beginning of this project wondering if you were mad for taking it on 😊. You have amassed a huge following and I couldn’t be happier for you! Onward and upword!
I’ve watched every minute of this as it was happening, and yet I’m still amazed at what you have accomplished! Congratulations, Dan!
So much passion, determination and love you radiate. Thank you Dan. You are truly a great inspiration for all of us...
I'm so impressed with what you've done at the chateau in just five months. All while doing so many other things. Well done!
Well done Dan, looking forward to the 150 to 300 Timelapse.
It's been quite the journey, and there's still more work to come. Im excited for the roof; keep up the great work, Dan!
Fantastic Even better when you put it all together We forget how far you’ve traveled There is going to be a once again beautiful chateau in amongst these trees ✊✊👍👍👍💕🕊️
How fun to watch this Dan. It seems like yesterday we watched all of this unfold. To think it’s been 5 months, how the time flies. Well done. We’re enjoying every minute with you.
AMAZING!!! What a great diary this is for you and your sons. It is hard to believe that so much has been done in really a short time. You are one very clever and determined man Dan Love it 🤗
ONE MAN with a DREAM, wow just goes to show what can be done, all credit to you Dan and your helpers. ❤
Good morning team Dan
from a freezing cold New Zealand ❤
Those 150 days you have accomplished so much from being beyond super human too even scaring the pargeba’s out of us all …
We are so proud of you …
Here’s looking forward to the next 150 + zillion days of the amazing reno
😊❤
Lucky!
So agree from another New Zealander watcher😊
Couldn't have said it better. Also from NZ.
Well said, from another supporter from New Zealand 🎉
And another, in Auckland.
So much achieved in 150days!! Well done Dan and helpers of course. Can't wait to see the next chapter. Hi from Ireland
man, this is way too good. Only a few people in the world can do things like this and you are one of them! keep up the good content together with the great restauration
Great to see you spent a weekend at Stephanie’s for the patreon days. You deserve some fun and a break. 🇦🇺
Amazing job mate. It’s an honor and privilege, to share this journey with you. Cheers from down under.
Just found your channel! This is quite an undertaking and just incredible that one can even own such old buildings. Like buying a bt of history. Have learned one thing...building in Europe is very different from the US! None of the stuff you;re doing applied to my home restoration. Very impressive that you know how to do masonry, steelwork, etc. along with all the labor intensive clean-up and can even safely limb and fell trees! Really look forward to seeing the progress!
It's hard to believe it's only been 150 days. You've achieved so much. Keep going and stay safe.
My exact thoughts.
Your personal achievements in only 150 days are absolutely awe inspiring. I truly believe no-one else would have had the stamina to get this far. Congratulations Dan.
Been an absolute joy to watch thus far. Can hardly wait for the next 150 days. Thank you for including us
I can't believe it's been 150 days we've been rooting you on with all your hard work! You've done a fantastic job of giving that old lady a makeover. Love your videos!
We miss you on utube. From South Africa
So much achieved in those 150 days Dan and you’re channel has grown so much too, here’s to the next 150 days !
Totally agree.
The accomplishments are so real now. I can't believe it's been 150 day and so much done. Great job!
Ooh! I really enjoyed that. Each step that came on I would think " oh this was my favorite bit!" Then another then another. In fact the whole thing is my favorite bit! Loved it, thank you!
One word, amazing!
Welcome back. A great deal of work has been done at the chateau in a year. You accomplished a fantastic video day at Stephanie’s well done Dan she is lucky having a friend like you to help out.
Dan my favorite man. Since the beginning you have given all of yourself to the renovations of the chateau. Labor has been the biggest challenge. You have shown such great courage and strength in bringing back this home. Until next time. Take care and stay safe my love. 🍺🙏🌹😇🕊🇺🇸❤️🌈🌞👍
So much progress, Dan the Man! We’re all really proud of you ❤ One goal at a time, you’re really bringing the chateau back to life!
I've been watching you on Help! I Bought a Village. Well done for rescuing this historic chateau xx
150 days! What you have accomplished in this amount of time is totally amazing! It's been a blast watching your vlogs and I think I can speak for other viewers as well as myself, the next 150 will be just as exciting! Congrats Dan!!!🎉🎉🎉
It's only been 150 days?? What an amazing transformation in such a short time and with little help. Seeing the beekeeper taking out the bees, have you gotten any honey from him yet? Nick and Cameron have done an excellent job with the forest and cleaning up around the outside. And Calvin helping you muck out the first level. All that dirt and debris must have been daunting to say the least. 🍺😎🍺
It looks great just getting the dirt and plants out. Great project! Interesting to see the renovation from the ground up instead the top down.
Bravo Dan👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 The multitalented Man! 🎉
I'd forgotten how big some of interior trees were. Just the sheer amount of work to remove debris is wild. Thanks for a look back.
It was incredible how many and how big the vegetation was inside.
Missed that big tree up there 🤣!
Watching you working on the chateau is a real treat! Also watching your life is very nice. Two years now I watch your vlogs and I want more and more! Proud to be a patreon!💋
Merci. Grâce à des personnes courageuses comme vous , le patrimoine est préservé. Merci.
Looking back its mind numbing how much dirt you all removed from the chateau and that’s not including the rubbish, the trees and other plant life. Truly epic. Still the memories of it all happening were a joy to watch again. So, ever onwards, take care guys 🌸
So much has been accomplished in such a short amount of time. Well done Dan.
150 grueling, inspiring days. Thank you for taking us along.
I didn't want it to stop and when you took some time off, I just forgot you are human and need a break . I'v been let down so many times I just counted this one as just another let down when you wanted to just do a recap .
Think Dan needed to take a breather😘
Great work Dan. I am currently working on my four bedroom Victorian house. Before binging on your chateau renovation, I felt as though my project was as huge as yours and bordering on overwhelming. Watching your work has really given me perspective and liberated me to push on.
Having said that.... No I wont make any H&S remarks, its all been said.
Good job , great effort. Stay alive .
Dan when you look at this and think that it took you 5 months to get this far and all that rubble you had to move and floors to put in, is incredible and it is amazing with everything else in between the garden, the yurt, making your daily vlogs, bee removal etc etc You are amazing and Dan take your time, slowly slowly take rests, you are amazing and we appreciate your videos and what you and your team do Nick, and the others that have helped just relax and enjoy your chateau build and thank you for sharing with us. Lord knows how much you will get done in the next 150 days if you have done this in these 150 days. Have a lovely week end.
Very well said. I hope Dan reads this. He’s working so incredibly hard.
You know I can see where this video can really help you when you tired and wondering if you did the right thing by buying this place. Just look back at how much you've accomplished. Great job Dan
It's going to exciting to see where the nxt 150 days take you. Amazing work Dan.
Recaps like this are great because it show just how much has been done, and 150 days really isn't that long of a time! So kudos! ❤️
So proud of you Dan! Hubby and I don't miss a single video, we are so emotionally invested in you and the château. Hoping to support you on Patreon soon! Well done and congrats on 150 days of renovations!
Good heavens, I'd almost forgotten the stuff at the top of the chateau.... And the arches! Yes, those arches. Phenominal progress Dan and well worth all those kittens I delivered along the way! 😂🎉 Well done you.
“Kittens…” etc. Me, too! 😮😅😂🎉
