THE CHATEAU FIGHTS BACK! - 'Chateau de Bruges' - Ep. 15 - Renovation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- Welcome back to another Chateau de Bruges video!
As with any renovation, jobs can often become overwhelming and a little out of your comfort zone. This week, that is exactly the case. The chateau fights hard to prevent Jake and Danielle from achieving what they set out to do and resulted in a little job taking a LONG time!
Progress on the chairs continues and Danielle now has a lot more materials to help push forward with the upholstery progress. However, a tough week with the renovation and a busy start to the weekend leaves Danielle with very little time to crack on.
Graham still remains frustrated in the UK but addresses some of the viewers concerns from last weeks gite tour.
A Friday night meeting with friends from Lapeyrouse meant some superb company and even better food! Jean, Berthold, Agnes, Maxime, Kevin, Remco and Norbert. Thankyou for welcoming us to Lapeyrouse so warmly. We hope to spend many other days and nights in your company!
We really hope you enjoy following us on our journey at Chateau de Bruges and continue to share any thoughts you have with us in your normal supportive ways.
Merci,
Chateau de Bruges

I’m very happy with you, just using your common sense with everything you do. You are wonderful. 😊😊
Thank you! 😃
Love the chateau maps,, I wish everyone did the same.
Starting a trend Patricia :)
Oh Jake (& Dan) , I feel for you, I hate it when things don’t go as easily as they should, but you did it, and should be so proud 👏🏼👏🏼.
The bathroom is looking great and the feast looks lovely 😂😂
Thanks Auntie Nic! Lots of love to the fam! xx
Well done for persevering. Agree with the previous comment about having some form of impervious covering under the basin otherwise it will look shabby quickly and you have created a lovely luxe shower room.
Thanks Sue, we will look into it. Glad you like what we've done with the bathroom :)
Good job on the Bathroom Jake! Sure am looking forward to seeing the chairs finished...hair and all! Hang in there Graham, this too shall pass. Lots of exciting things to come! Hoping you'll share your Christmas dinner ideas with us!
Thankyou very much Norma! We are remaining as optimistic as possible for Grahams return!
I think it’s amazing that you’re learning upholstery. I’ve always wanted to have a go but as I’ve inherited good quality furniture I can’t justify buying all the kit for one chair. Given that you have a whole house to furnish the cost is justified, and so is the knowledge. Excellent job and something to be proud of.
Thankyou so much Amamyastrata! Glad to have started and excited to find out all the things I can do in the future. Danielle.
I’ve always wanted to learn to reupholster so it’s very motivating to see your work on that gorgeous chair!
Thankyou Kelly! It’s taking a long time, but it’s looking really good so far!
Just catching this after Anna and Phillip. Thanks for explaining some of your building choices - sometimes a video is too quick for us to take in all the details. "Fighting back" was a good name for this episode.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! Loved Phillip and Anna's video this week! They always make us laugh!
I commend the two of you for doing your best in the absence of Graham. I’m looking forward to seeing how those lovely chairs turn out.
Thankyou Mona!! Fingers crossed he’s back soon! Chairs should be progressing much more this week!!
Well done you did it!! Now put your feet up and have a beer. Danielle that fabric looks lovely cannot wait for you to finish. Thanks for a great vlog.
Haha a well earned rest was had! Danielle should have some more progress with the chair this week! Glad you are continuing to enjoy the videos!
What a lovely fabric you’ve chosen for the chair. I think for this being your first time to reupholster anything even a flat board, you are doing a bang up job! Can hardly wait to see the finished job!!😊😊
Aww thankyou so much! Glad you are liking how the chair is coming along! 😁
I can appreciate all your hard work and efforts in your DIY'S. I think you are doing great. Glad you didn"t give up Jake. All looks great. Hope your visa comes soon Graham.
Thankyou so much Peter! Glad you are enjoying the videos!
I realize I've watched this video way after the fact. In future rooms, you might consider doing the mirror or robe area light separate from the main light. As guests would probably find it handy to be able to leave one on at night to use as a nightlight. I know when I've traveled, you can wake up in the middle of the night somewhat disoriented. So trying to find your way to the bathroom without stubbing a toe or running into furniture can be a challenge lol. And no, lol, I don't drink hahaha 😆.
That’s a reallly really good point Risa that we just hadn’t thought about! Something to really discuss in our next room for sure!! Thankyou for sharing with us!!
I was thinking something similar, but opposite. Bright lights after being in darkness (asleep) give me a migraine. If I just flipped one switch on in the middle of the night, I would not expect to be bombarded by so many lights all at once.
I’m not surprised you were so frustrated, but I’m glad you hung in there. So many difficult projects. Very impressive the work you both have done so far. However. I agree with another comment-the vanity looks beautiful, but in the long run, I don’t think the wood surface will age well. Hope I’m wrong because you did a great job and it looks very nice. Have a good week.
You and me both Louise! Fingers crossed the dresser ages well! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Holaaa, just triying to cahtch up with all the premiere here on Sunday...
Thanks for coming, Hope you enjoy the video Francisco!
Danielle there is a lot of work going into the chairs..They are going to look beautiful I love the material . looking forward to next week.🪑🪑
Thankyou Miriam! Glad you are enjoying the videos and like how the chair is coming along!
Good job on getting the electrics going in the ensuite.
Enjoyed the little 👋🏻 from the cat 🐈. 🇨🇦
Haha got to give curious his air time! 😂
Thanks for the update Graham. Fingers crossed you get the work visa sorted out soon. Nice job in the bathroom and chair. Thanks for sharing 😍🙏
Thankyou Rosemarie! Glad you like what we are doing!!😁
The bathroom is beautiful. Well done!🎉❤
Thankyou Cheryl! Glad you think so!
Good on you for persevering with the electrics.
The chair looks like so much work but will look great when finished.
Happy to see you taking some time for yourselves.
Fingers crossed for Graham and his return.
Maine USA
Thankyou Denise! Glad you are enjoying the work we are completing. Fingers crossed Graham does return soon!
Well done on the electrics ,but Danielle very interesting on the chair impressive
Thankyou CocoasDad1! Glad you like how the projects are coming along!!
Danielle your chair is coming along nicely love the material x
Appreciate once again Pauline! Danielle is looking to progress with the chair this week! X
Jake, well done for persevering and it doesn’t matter if you think your video today is bitty…. It’s real life and it’s a realistic fact that some jobs will take longer when you come across a technical blip.
Danielle, you also are doing a great job… remember all experts were beginners! The best way to learn is by our mistakes and I for one love watching you attempt these projects. You have also given me confidence to take on a challenge again.
Lastly let’s hope some good news happens for Graham. (My fingers are crossed).
Keep up the great work… Have a super week ❤
Thankyou very much Gill! You’re absolutely right! So much pressure to put an entertaining video up every week but in reality it’s not always going to be the case. Danielle is doing a fantastic job as you say. Fingers crossed Graham returns to France soon! For the renovations progression! 😂
A bit under the weather today, so comments are limited. I agree with a lot of the live chat folks, I do love the comradery of the chateau vlogging community! Glad you didn't give up, Jake. Another good one, guys, hope Gman doesn't have to wait too much longer to get back. Pets for Merlin! xo
Hope you feel better soon Cynthia! Glad you still found time to get your Chateau de Bruges fix though! See you next week! Merlins wagging his tail for his hugs and pets! xx
Get well soon Cynthia 😘
Well done both wishing we could be there with you both xx
Not long till were back in the UK with you Grandad :)
Good luck Graham. 👍
Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼
I’m still loving all your videos! Happy Thanksgiving from Vermont
I'm so glad! Thankyou Rebekah!
Nicely done! It was a big week for the two of you doing things you’ve never done before. I think it’s great! Hope you are able to take some time for yourselves, too. Life should not be all work and no play. Everything in balance. Carry on!
Hey Kathy! We had a really nice weekend with friends in Lapeyrouse. You will see more of this next week! 😁
Loved this episode and you have worked so hard on the electrics. 10 out of 10 for determination. Fingers crossed that Graham is with you soon. It’s also lovely to see the community you are in.
Thanks Lynne and Grandad! Hope you are both well and glad to see you enjoyed another video! Hopefully Graham is back next week and you will see more of the community next week!
Bonsoir vous vous débrouillez très bien tout seuls
merci beaucoup! content que ce que nous faisons vous plaise !
Good for you to keep to it
Thankyou! 😁 hope you enjoyed the video!
Hey y'all! Get eye protection on at all times! My son had a piece of hammer go through his eye and lodge in the back of his eye. Take care of each other!!! 😉
Oh wow! That sounds painful. I am also very scared about damaging my eyes so will try to remember to get my glasses on every time I am doing something.
Jake you did a great job nothing offended me and most watchers probably people nick pick on trivial things carry doing what you are doing xx
Thankyou Pauline! Glad that nothing offended you within the video. 😅 thankyou for taking the time to send me your comment ❤️
Completely agree.
Jesus Christ this was awesome 😉😂👍
I’m watching this on the tv. Danielle reminds me of eleven on stranger things. Wonder if anyone else sees the similarities? 😉😂👍❤️
What a great series that is! One of our favourites!
@@ChateaudeBruges ours too.
When there is a lot of drilling, sweating and crying I certainly hope there is equal swearing like the men who built the chateau!!!
Swearing like a trooper Kevin!
@@ChateaudeBruges or a "sailor" as they say in the USA...
Hi all! Sorry I missed the Premier! Hope to catch you live next time 💕🤗💕 Your place is looking great! 😍
All good Jenny! Glad you found time to watch the video! Looking forward to yours tonight!
Um, nope! Not surprised at all about how difficult it is to drill through 60 cm of granite. That was quite the task!
Haha I'm glad you appreciate the difficulty of the task Catherine! Hope you enjoyed the video! :D
💕In the gite if you made the door in the bedroom into a stable door or half of it into a stable door with a lockable internal door it would give you the choice of making it into a one bed unit with an overflow bedroom if ever needed💕OR a two bed unit when required💕
Nice idea, thanks Susan!!😬
You shouldn’t put a sink on top of a dresser It will not last long at all. Unless you put something on top of it. Like marble, etc.
Thankyou Annlyon. We don't really like the marble look on the top of the dresser. Thankyou though! :D
Putting on a layer or two of marine varnish would keep the top from water damage.
@@kathywillis7459 yes that would work. Wood hates water.
It would probably cost twice as much as a new dresser, if not more to replace it if you spend money on a marble top shaped to fit the dresser. Not cost effective for a new business. A sealant varnish should do for a while.
Good on you Jake and Danielle for continuing while you wait for Graham… The French bureaucracy is Ohhhh. sooo. Slowwwww. And Redundant. And Annoying…. I think that half the country are fonctionaires (in the Gov’t bureaucracy) and the other half is too busy to work because of all the forms they have to fill out to satisfy the first half. 😅 On the plus side, the bureaucracy is very straight (not corruptible). 😊 Well I hope that you can all be together again soon.
Thankyou Le Chateau du peu! Fingers crossed things get sorted very soon. Glad you are liking the work we are doing while Graham is away! 😁
👍🏻🍀💕
:)
It's always halarious reading the comments and the vloggers being as polite as possible not to piss off all the mericans with their "extensive " knowledge in renovating 😏..
The customer is always right! 🫠 even when they couldn’t be more wrong, they’re still right. 😬
🙂🙂
❤️
You know that I know
Hah thanks Benita! You’re a tad late for a Christmas card. But thankyou for watching and we hope you enjoyed the video! 🥰❤️
Without springs u will need a lot more horse hair otherwise it will flatten
Thanks patricia! :D
I missed whatever that it was that offended a few. My advice is to offend. Get rid of them from your channel quickly. I will make every effort to offend people that try to dictate what they think your guidelines should be. 😉👍
Haha appreciate the love Jimmy.
We will gladly sit here on the fence and cheer you on as you fight our battles for us! 😂
@@ChateaudeBruges sit back and enjoy my craft. The secret is to always enjoy your point more than theirs. 😉😂❤️
agree, block them from the channel
Blasphemy is unnecessary and just demonstrates laziness with communication and words. Actually its a turn off which you may be unaware of, especially given that you want to attract people to your channel.
Sorry for offending you.
@@ChateaudeBruges thank you for apologising.
Jesus fecking Christ. Lol
@@christinescouller3833 feckin’ 3 Hail Marys and an our father 😉😂🤦♂️
get a LIFE???
Please do not use the name of Christ as a by word or curse. That is very offensive to Christians. 😢
Already responded to a few comments of a similar nature. Danielle apologises and will make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Thank you
Jesus fecking Christ 🤦♂️🎄
I'm Catholic and it Dident offend me at all.
I’m catholic too, and it’s compulsory to swear and say Jesus Mary and Joseph, or Jesus feckin’ Christ 😉😂👍
