    You know Michael you are the very reason why I started watching your video's and then started watching Stephanie's channel and started watching Billy's,Sean's and Ryan's channels.
    You bring alot of things like history to the table, I appreciate everything you do.
    Thank you for today's tour, and I'm looking forward to more.

    You can replicate the missing moulding using a CNC machine and some 3-D scanning cameras and software. There are some attachments you can purchase that attach to a cell phone even, but I am not sure how effective they are. It is also good for replicating damaged freeze work and crown moulding. The costs are generally worth it when you are looking at something the size of your chateau. Plus, you can make it a revenue source, helping other chateau owners with their specific needs (replacements, etc.)

    The "pool table" is probably a snooker table considering the large dimensions of it. It's definitely not a billiard table because they have no pockets.

It is these moments that I get to appreciate the incredible craftsmanship that goes into these stunningly beautiful rooms. There are a lot of similarities that caught my attention with Chateau de la Basmaignee and Highclere. Thankyou for such an inspiration vlog. Hopefully one day you will get to see these similarities for yourself 😉

    On Facebook in one the château groups there is a master carver . He worked with Disney . His work is exquisite. He is retired .I’m sure the medalians could be replicated or like others that didn’t carve their own they made molds from existing ones. And used plaster.
    I’m so glad you are back. Your knowledge, talent and fun loving personality was missed. I prayed for you many days. Not that you would come back to UA-cam but that you were happy. You give us so much and so we don’t want to just take . The timber of your voice and your presence giving us a tour has a way of transporting us on UA-cam straight into the Chateau. Thank you for your hard work and time of filming and editing . I am super proud of your achievements and I don’t even know you.
    If you take on another chateau project I know you could make the basement kitchen the envy of any Chateau owner . Your skill set and eye for design is perfection. May you be very blessed .

    I can’t tell you how much I’ve missed you !
    I’ve watched you since you started your channel - - and there isn’t anyone better to complete all the projects that are going to be needed in the Château
    You are truly one talented man and I can’t wait to see all your ideas come to life !!
    Keep up the good work, Michael !!!

    Each room has it’s own charm and beauty. Thank you to you and your family for restoring the chateau to it’s previous glory. Great filming, editing and music selection.🙏🏼❤️
