* * * Love you guys! Discovered your channel as I was watching chateaux in France. You both are so cute, warm and both have such a calm and straightforward voice. You talk from the heart and share your own experience, not what you hear from others! I wish you all THE BEST! Buying and renovating a chateau in France is a BIG thing...definitely not for everybody! * * *

You guys are so terrific to watch! I’m semi homebound and living in a neuro- retreat home on 7 acres of woods (Nevada City since you are Ca folks) we need to tend while we (and I mean we- designer/builders/groundswork heat pumps newfangled low tox high insulation approach w wonderful friends and some lovely subs) finishing building it. I SO relate to the patience perseverance roll up sleeves aspects of your situation. I love France and it is delightful to see it through your eyes. Thanks for many hours of enjoyment following along on your adventures. My doors order won’t come til august (curtains for doors, noise sensitive thank god it’s summer!) but at least I don’t have a moat to cope w and it’s inspiring to watch your youthful energy (we are auld folks who are slowing down esp me but my husband is a force of nature who can outwork most 40 year olds at 75). Much love and thanks!

What has happened to these two Do they only put a video about once a month?

How is a ex military guy so useless?

Guédelon Castle IT IS HERE IN FRANCE ... REAL PEOPLE BUILDING A 1000AD CASTLE...

Just get on with it!

THAT STAIRCASE IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND WORTH EVERY PENNY…❤❤❤

Where are you guys? I’ve missed your vlogs.

Bonjour, Parlez en français de notre patrimoine svp ! En France, on parle français surtout si on achète un château en France ! ,🙏😉💐

As one of the ghostly residents of the chateau, thank you for fixing that bump. It's been bothering us since the 17th century.

Only great couples can face great inspiring challenges as they have

Wow this is some grand inspiring story with all the social, emotional & heart wrenching ingredients like is seen in a movie. I do wish them well with lots of success

Using a blow torch will kill the weeds on the cobble stones

What a beautiful story. God bless your g-pa for leaving his little princess a castle. He obviously really loves you.

Why not build a floating barge and work from there.?. just saying🙈

Omg - that staircase is soooo beautiful!

Merci à vous!

That looks like the same beach they used for the series"Lupin".

Thanks!

Thanks!

My goodness! What a beautiful chateau you found on your way to Narmandy! ❤

Oh my, such beautiful stairs, glad to see you having fun 😊

This advice probably comes too late as I’m watching this a month after it was posted. But these probably aren’t the last bulbs that you will plant, so here goes. When you’re choosing where to plant the bulbs, keep in mind that if you want them to bloom every year, you have to leave the foliage on until it dies back on its own. So try to pick places that are out of the way and that look like they just grew there naturally. You can make borders of them, but then you should plant other perennials near them so that they cover up the dying foliage of the bulbs. You can braid the leaves together to neaten them up while you wait for them to die back, but that’s kind of a pain in the butt if you’ve got a lot of them. I know some formal gardens plant tulips in rigid rows but they have a lot of money and can dig the bulbs out after they’re finished blooming and plant something else. I don’t know what they do with them in between blooming and replanting in the fall. It’s possible, they’re just thrown away, which is wasteful. Good luck with all your gardening. I enjoy your channel!😊

Recently, I watched a young man put a iron spiral staircase in his home. He didn’t clean his up because his home is in an old industrial building, and he thought it fit the character of the place better that way. But it does show him building the staircase, how he put it together, All the trials and errors he went through to get it right. It was very interesting! His channel is called the Round Corner if you wanna see it. Your Staircase is beautiful I can hardly wait to see it in place.😊

Can you urn the trees in your chateau stoves/fireplaces/outdoor fire pits? I realize this is a year ago--just found you.

Can you share the prices of everything in US dollars so we can get an idea? Thanks!

Frances has the hots for you.

Use those decorative stove pieces to tile a surface--in a bathroom?--a pantry?--outside somewhere?

Glad you’re back. Did I miss the reveal of the bathroom? I went back to other videos and did not find it .

Impeccable editing as usual Ian.

You should host people to come volunteer their time to help with bigger jobs that don;t require as much skills. Like the lawns, cutting trees etc, cleaning the stones so you can make some more headway faster while offering people the chance to experience the domain.

Great job!

Phenomenal production quality! Can I ask what camera you use? Subscribed immediately!

Finally 🥹🥲🥲

I agree, so happy to see you again. The stairs are beautiful, can’t wait to see it installed.🤩😍🙌

Very nice thank you.

Can Chelsea stay forever please? 😍

You need a small sand blaster!!

What is this country? Full of beauty and nice people! Nothing can't compare to him!

Is this the beach from the TV Show Lupin's first season? :O And wow the chateau you looked at ist soooo beautiful, totally enchanted <3

Missed you guys! So happy your back. I love the staircase! Great find! Normandy is beautiful!

I for one am so happy to see you guys again! I love what you two are doing and what you both are up to! Have a super week! Lots of luck from Nashville, Tennessee!

Hi you guys! You are having a wonderful visit with your dear friend and getting some long awaited work done - what could be better! Nice to see a new video from you!

Beautiful antique staircase!! Well done!

If you struggle with the stair case, you may contact Rachel et Émilien. They have a KZbin Channel and they bought the same staircase few years ago. They asked Sons of metallerie to reproduced some missing parts, those guys also have a KZbin Channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnXdo5yPrrR1eMksi=0TUHABSXkZUN9sPU

Wow, you and your friend look like sisters too. Before you introduced her I thought, “Is that her sister?” The property looks absolutely gorgeous in the mist and low fog. Such beautiful filming of it. And the grass lawns look pristine. You’ve done incredible work. So proud of you both and all those who’ve helped at every level. What an accomplishment! Your grandfather would be so happy.

How awesome are the mushrooms guys & roof masters, nice score…invite them over dinner & drinks a lot, good friends to have

Enjoyed the fun you and your friend were having. Such friendships are such a gift. 💞
