I just bought a Narwal! I can't wait to use it in my house :) thank you for the code

[@michaelgillespie502]

Amaury is worth his weight in GOLD!! Nothing beats a truly amazing craftsman! Lucky for you 😊

[@chrissih4046]

Agree 100%! Stephanie has a beautiful family! xxxxx

[@marshawargo7238]

I think he should sign that rectangular cutout & auction it off as a cutting board❤!!!

[@Msdeb52]

Not to mention he is humble and so sweet! His Mama and Papa brought him up right!❤

[@kindlydude]

He was tucking into that steak quite nicely. Just some of the rewards of living at/near Chateau de LaLande!

[@AJB220]

Hope Amaury could find a way of helping Dan at the moment.

[@stephanieh.777]

The cooker worktop is genius - it will make so much more useable space in busy kitchen!

[@peterwhite9261]

Amaury, you are a master carpenter. Your first guest came bringing awesome treats for the dogs and humans. How sweet. Marie, that meal looked delicious. ❤

That new tablecloth looks absolutely stunning on that table and it goes perfectly with the wallpaper. That countertop Amaury is building will be perfect in the kitchen knowing how Marie likes her own work area. She won’t have to run y’all off from the table now. ~ Sherri from Arkansas USA.

[@kindlydude]

Exactly!!! Room for all now!

[@hollykeller1545]

My husband has been talking about getting a robot vacuum for years - I love this one!

[@tinathene]

It seems to mop as well, am I right?

[@Jen-eo1fh]

@@tinatheneYes it does mop. My daughter has one. I’m a little bit jealous. 😊

[@soneljafourie6399]

We got one and she is my favorite thing in the world!

[@paulettebarber7219]

Amaury is truly a treasure! The cutting board and shelf will be so useful in the kitchen! Marie will have the room she needs to prepare wonderful meals.

[@darbyking-maillot4105]

I love seeing the rooms in their full splendour! Gorgeous

[@margotwelland2459]

Amaury is a brilliant carpenter and is so much more at ease in the workshop than the day before wiring the lights, albeit he has the Midas touch ❤

[@happygrandma5637]

Maybe the cut out piece can become a cutting/ chopping board.

[@joannapolowy4647]

as a chef, a good prep space is worth it wait and gold. Amaury is worth his weight in platinum..

[@kindlydude]

😉

[@carenvisser607]

It must be so cool to be the first guest of the season and she came laden with gifts. What a lovely lady. Thanks for the tour of the rooms. They look amazing. I sense a lot of Phillips magical touch in them. The finer details. That taller work area for Marie is going to be so great. Its a dream of mine to visit Lalande. It will probably never happen but at least we have the videos to watch. Thanks to all of you.

[@Motherhubbard170]

I thought the same, everyone should have a guest like this, generous thoughtful spirit

[@carenvisser607]

I forgot to say..... That robot vacuum /mop is everything. Stephanie you explained it so well.

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Amaury, woodworking is very gratifying. I love being able to fix or make something that is needed. I made new railings for my front porch and back stairs. And enjoyed every minute of it ❤

[@tangelite9968]

It is most satisfying. Bravo on the railings!!!

[@christineh5790]

I have always wondered how such delicious meals on a large scale were prepared and delivered out of a kitchen with no bench space to speak of, apart from the kitchen table (or in Marie’s case, sometimes a designated ‘half’ a table)! 🤣 Amaury to the rescue once more.👏 Go Maria!🥰

[@jeannineguilbeault588]

looking forward to see his work ! He always work with perfection . ...

[@wendymorrison5803]

Adding a raised worktop to the big ovens is so right for a working kitchen. I find most kitchens too short and I'm only 5'6. I hope Marie can prep and create in greater comfort. Now she needs anti fatigue mats.

[@maggieclendenin6740]

I completely understand why Marie wants that work surface!!! Love watching her extend her artistry from her beautiful florals right into the kitchen!!!! Love love LOVE

[@deniseblackman5229]

I’ve lived all my life in the US. Weighing using metric is by far the easiest and most accurate measuring system. Much easier to divide grams by 50% than to measure out half of 1/3 cup when dividing a recipe!

[@debshaw680]

It’s just 1/6theasy as pie

[@deniseblackman5229]

@@debshaw680 of course it is. I don’t have a 1/6th measuring cup but I certainly have a scale which is much more precise.

[@kindlydude]

I think the 'American' system is just the old British/English system before they converted to metric. Anyway, it's all in the taste ...no matter what system is used.

[@LaReynedEpee]

I've watched various US KZbin cookery channels, most seem to prefer metric for accuracy. Cups are ok when it's not too crucial for a successful recipe.

[@lozinozz7567]

Our automated servants are called Rosie (robot from the Jetsons) and Johnny mop (After the Australian singer John Farnham). Our original was called Sadie after one of John Farnham songs - Sadie the cleaning lady. Sadie’s gone to clean my son’s house as we upgraded to Rosie. I seriously never thought I needed an automatic vacuum. My hubby is obsessed with stupid technology but don’t tell him these are a game changer ❤

[@debragonser745]

Make Marie a cutting board from the extra! Would be nice for the table for fresh bread board!

[@kindlydude]

Brilliant idea!! 💡

[@jayforjay699]

So happy that we get a closer look at the old oven/stove. Even getting the info that the mystery box with chains is in fact a mystery to you all as well is satisfying to know. Thank you 😃. Next on the wish list is for the start on the lake. Most interested to learn if vegetation removal from the lake bed is required and how that all plays out. Really enjoying this channel!!

[@elaineteut9579]

Phillip and Ana were showing that vacuum on their Sunday video.

[@wendydennis9127]

New worktop will be great! Bedrooms look beautiful! 👏👏

[@robertmdaniels]

Never a dull moment with everything going on. You are blessed with people who care.

[@beautyallaroundme724]

The fountain looks great. I was hoping to see Molly with her ball. That robot vacuum is something I really need!

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

This kitchen work surface is not just a piece of furniture; it's a tangible symbol of care and dedication that will surely be cherished for years to come.❤❤

[@MYJ61]

WOW! I haven’t seen an episode of “Állo, Állo” in forever! Love that show!

[@toddmurphy523]

Evette is SPECTACULAR...!! Watching it under the armoire was amazing...!

[@evalue7517]

After working so hard, Amaury deserved that delicious meal. It was satisfying to watch him work. Well done!

[@yvesgonin1958]

A carpenter, no ! The carpenter, yes ! His job is so great. The workshop is a tidy, organised one and he does look so happy to work there. We do have some work to be done here in Cancun... Something you do not like to eat, I am sure that Marie wold make it delicious. I love all Lalanders. XXX Yves

[@ronaldhorton2438]

I'm a retired chef, and Amaury is exactly my favorite type of guest! The biggest compliment is a quickly cleaned plate. Thanks for the beautiful video. 🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@janetg1691]

My daughter had a remote vacuum system, but her long hair clogged it up and the motor died. Do untangle the brushes regularity from long hairs to keep the motor working well.

[@lyndalouise3480]

Good morning from Tasmania, Wednesday sun is out, nip in the air, hope everyone is doing ok, have a lovely day, looking forward to see what Maury whips up for Marie, that young man is so talented, love his parents and Natty.❤️😌

[@deanyaschempp]

I'll say it again, and take your lesson from the snow monkeys area: give the peacocks an area of their own, with a kind of barn, maybe over where the sheep field is, and they will use their own spaces. Our peacocks loved to roost, like birds do, and they needed a big ole birdhouse. Your terrace is the closest thing to a framed-out barn, so you can't blame them for wanting to roost right over your nice table. PLEASE if you want peacocks, get someone in to help you build a nice area for them.

[@MAC-op5fc]

Made me so happy to read the title of this vlog. I love seeing how you support and care for one another. You are all so lucky to live in this community-type setting. I hope it continues for you all and for us. Happy chopping, Marie! Oh, and those fries (chips) made my mouth water! If you ever decide to share recipes, I'll sign up! Oh, and the rooms look so inviting. Lucky guests.

My Roomba is named Cato like the personal assistant of Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies. My name is René and I hate vacuuming!

[@verasmith5831]

I love it!!!! everyone wants to be in the kitchen... communal hub and Marie will love having her space to create all of those delicious dishes !!!!! YAY ! Here from Atlanta GA.

[@y.lelivelt2619]

Amaury 's idea for the shelf is super. Marie can see the viagrettes or whatever she puts there. That's better then how she has to find the herbs in the curtain- bag.

[@thoeset]

😝🤣🤣🤣

[@kindlydude]

Perhaps the 'curtain-bag' could be where the bulk spices can go ...for refills & Marie can keep her most used spices in a rack of some kind right near her on the new oak workspace.

[@thesecretwindowspot1298]

Ah yes it will make a big change for the kitchen. Finally more space to work at. Its gonna be so good for Marie and ofc everyone Else using the kitchen. 😅❤

[@boucephales]

With pelmets, I stitch Velcro tape on the top fabric and tack Velcro on the timber pelmet so they go up and down easily. Looking great!

[@andreadern4463]

🍃Yay❗️ Amoury, maybe theres a space for Marie’s spice rack behind your new cooking area?! (Which was a great idea, more work surface)❗️🍃

[@laurabuntin259]

Amaury is amazing. Maybe Marie can put some of her spices on the up stand.

[@ponani7711]

The more we watch, the more I keep commenting to my wife “we should stay there next trip.” BTW looked up robot vacuum: about US$1,400.

[@Motherhubbard170]

yes I thought it would be pricey to say the least

[@carolz5090]

Will all those great features…you just knew it would be expensive. It puts my single function one to shame. Now I’ve got robotic vacuum envy!

[@therealtartuffe]

Does it come in yellow? LOL (Stephanie, yellow is my favourite colour too!!! 😉💛). I just hope Yvette hasn't put Mary Poppins out of a job 😕. Have a wonderful season. The Lalanders seem to have it all together. That's what I call "teamwork." 💛💛💛

Such a wonderful idea to create more surface for prepping in the kitchen. Can't wait to see it! :) All the rooms looks so lovely, great job you all did! :)

I was reading about your Briffault Stove in Monets house. the top part is A grillade. It is a hood over a grill to create a draft to draw smoke and fumes up into the stove’s chimney; a door on the front slides down to form a sort of seal around the grill area to intensify the draft. Incredibly expensive in their time.

[@LaReynedEpee]

Excellent sleuthing, thank you

[@nancios1]

@marcgarreffa 🚨I see that Stephanie or Phillip already liked your post. We need need book names ha ha

[@marcgarreffa]

I put up the website link that has the catalogue but KZbin keeps taking it down

[@LaReynedEpee]

@@marcgarreffa They don't allow you to post links I'm afraid

[@marcgarreffa]

If you search for a website called vintage french copper and monets stove, there is a blog post all about the Briffault ovens with catalogue details that show the grillade as an optional extra to be added to the cooktop.

[@trudie6312]

Even if you dont use the "american cups" for measurements, they make great scoops to get ingredients onto the scale.

[@cliffhorman6846]

The fountain is on! Wonderful to see. Being a chef I love the extras bench space being added in the kitchen. Amaury is so ingenious with his work. Stephanie I know you have done it before in the past, but so much has changed and been updated, it would be grate to have another Chateau tour of all the rooms again. La Lande looks so magical on a sunny day doesn't she!

[@nativetexan53]

I laugh so hard everytime Stephanie says "..like headless chickens. 😂 Here we say "running around like a chicken with its head cut off." It's funny how the same expression is funnier said another way, even if it means the same thing. But my ancestors were mostly Irish, so maybe it's an Irish thing handed down from 200 years ago when they came to Texas. Either way, it makes me laugh. Thank you.

[@StephanieClaussen]

Minnesotan here, of German descent: I also grew up saying "like a chicken with its head cut off." Does Stephanie's "headless chickens" perhaps have a more elegant air than our way of saying it?
