Attic discovery that will last forever

249. Buying a chateau "sold as seen" means you take on everything left by the previous owners, this could be a lot of junk, however there is always a treasure to be found somewhere and for us the attic yielded.
We say goodbye to our volunteers but not before teaching Carsten a new trick. Renovations continue on the Templar suite and Lesa comes up with a cunning plan.

You are truly blessed to have a friend like Carston. The world needs more people like him.

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Ain't that the truth!👍💞

[@auntytutu]

A friend in deed!!!🐞

[@karlasmit7535]

You are blessed.

[@rayn8740]

Lisa, the floor transition turned out great.👍

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Thank you Rayn

[@janeharris6925]

Just wanted you to know that the content has been great! I’m sure it was more difficult but you’ve aced it.

[@Victoria14357]

I agree!

[@karenyuile3446]

Carsten is just amazing

[@cheriesharp234]

What lovely progress you have made, nice to see Carson and your other guests helping out while Ted recovers. Xxx brilliant x

[@johnoleary528]

Great stonework!! 😊

[@lindagage7315]

Wow that wall is fantastic! Great job on the floor, well done everyone!

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Thanks so much!

[@mariarichmond4179]

What a brilliant friend you have in Carsten, hope you get better Ted and as usual Lesa creative as ever xxx

[@brianpasifull-fb4gt]

Glad to see Ted is getting involved. Don’t do too much though mate. Cheers. Brian & Annie

[@jenateer2518]

Loved seeing the sheep and cows at the start.

[@kathytiffin6518]

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. You two, Lesa and Ted; all your talented friends and volunteers; and your specialists (LOL) - you put a smile on my face and I see hope for humanity. Kindness for one another. Your channel should reach a million viewers.

[@Victoria14357]

I love your stone affect on the floor, Lesa! I hope your recovery continues well Ted!

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Thank you!

[@lyndabryan6503]

Bye Carston, will miss you and Ted having banter together. Ted good to see you are on the road to recovery. Lesa , once again what a brilliant idea to match the floor levels up. Love that you have some good friends helping you out and enjoying it too. Debbie's book is wonderful, how clever is she!

[@teepeeX]

Thanks, Kristen and Rob. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Debbie, a great job with prints. Well done. Carston, what an great asset and a great friend. Thank you for everything you've done supporting Ted and Lesa. It is greatly appreciated ❤😊.. the wall and floor are awesome, even though I think I'd do other sides of the window, lol.. 😊 rest up, Ted x Lesa, would you need to seal the stone on the floor ? . As I'm on disability I cannot afford to be a patron but every now and then I'll but a coffee xx

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Just your lovely comments is enough,it really keeps us going having the support x

[@Hiris-hu5pc]

Ted and Lesa are the best! Good fun, and hard work, along with wonderful friends willing to help them. The floors, rock work, and the lovely book that Deb put together - all first class!

[@janegendreau6595]

Carsten, you will be sorely missed!! Thank you for all you do!! Your work ethic is beyond measure, you're such a great friend to Ted & Lesa, a treasure to Chateau De Montmagner & all of us watching!! Blessings all!! 🇺🇸

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

He is always missed Jane, not just for his work but the way he makes us smile and laugh

[@karenmetcalf-pugh5]

Great work and glad to see you again. I'm confused. Why not flip the lounge and the bedroom. That way the guests walk into the "living space" and have more privacy behind a wall. Also, the bed is closer to the bathroom. Having a fireplace in the bedroom adds to the ambiance. Just a thought.

[@robbiemoriarty7499]

Lisa is the best pointer! Now teacher. The transitions from wall to stone is flawless. Love the old magazine pages and the wonderful book made by Deb. You have the best helpers. Get well soon Ted!

I know how hard it is to come back from this sort of disaster, but you sure are making lemonade from lemons with your fortitude and sense of humor, wonderful friends and the Great Carsten who is the model of what friendship should be. Bravo and my love and respect for you all.

[@kathytiffin6518]

Just fyi, your friend Debby should meet up with Michael Petheridge. I have a feeling they are equally artistically talented. PLEASE consult with Michael and make those posters into a saleable product.

[@stevenbarnett2497]

Wall looks nice now you have uncovered the stonework makes a nice feature well done excellent work.

[@peterwhite9261]

Carsten, you will be missed. Safe travels home. Thanks for all of your help. We all appreciate you. You bring joy and laughter to your work. Leza, you did awesome on that floor. All of the work you guys did is impressive. Ted, it is great to see you up and laughing. Continue to rest, and before too much longer, you will be all healed up. ❤

[@glenyscallaghan1195]

Well done all .😀⭐️⭐️⭐️👋👋👋

Great work guys and Ted you naughty boy you did the thumbs up at the end with NO pater on!

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

The thumb is now well and truly healed, it is amazing and all down to the great health care, they have been fantastic. Just need to now recover from the other operation and we will be back on track 👍

I really like the pebble infill in the floor. Looks great! Nice job, Lesa! Have you considered framing the fairytail pictures? Hope you get to feeling better soon, Ted.

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Someone else did comment on making some prints of them which is a really lovely idea, that way people who visit could take something away with them

[@barbaragerrett8508]

It’s always so lovely to hear your music & see the kind generous hearts of people who come to help you! The love & laughter between you two is the best part! Thank you for sharing your journey with us❣️

The book is fantastic

[@jeanniehall1440]

Beautiful work

[@smgreenartsprivate]

I am glad you have extra hands to keep things going so you can still make it on time for guests. I know too well about healing up and how long it takes currently doing that myself. It will be a beautiful room as all your suites are :) I have told Sean from 'Sean's World' about what you are doing and your issues with the bread oven and or haunching and roof issues I hope he will contact you. I think he would be interested in seeing what you are doing would make for an interesting collab if that happened :) I wonder if you got a sample some time that there might be a way of testing to tell where the stone came from as you can soil and other things. Both Carsten's work and yours is great Lesa :) Chateau de Rosiere's did an outdoor pebble mosaic but pebbles were placed upright as per your photo example indoors I think flat pebbles will be nice under the feet :) That is such a nice display to look at without damaging the originals well done Debbie :) Thank you Carsten and Rob and Kirsten :) lovely to see you Lesa and Ted and Bessie and Hanz :)

I think de illustrations could make perfect base for wall papar & you could finance your farther beautification of your “ castle”. Good look finding a good partner for the idea.

[@JulieRees-b7w]

That's such a great idea about the fairy tale book... to raise extra finances for the renovations at the chateaux!! It would make a lovely coffee table book!! 😊👍

Would be great if you could create prints for sale of those fairy tales pictures using a print on demand service, like Gelato maybe? Anyway just a thought. They’re so lovely 😊

[@djo4308]

Lisa, I have followed you for a long time. You are both amazing artists and have such dedication to excellence in all you do. This was yet another great video, with one exception. The Lord’s name was taken in vain. Some people are immune to this, and it becomes a figure of speech. But, one of the ten commandments is, thou shalt not take thy Lords name in vain. You are so sweet, and The Lord has Blessed you. Please be careful, simply edit such words out. Please consider this for future videos. Thank you

[@catherinewhite8819]

My builder always did as Carlston is doing, measuring the mix with buckets for a consistent overall look. Using a spade measure is too haphazard. Looking good.

Just wanted to let you know that I didn’t get a notification from You Tube. Super idea with the pebbles for the floor.

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

Sometimes KZbin has a spring clean and for some reason unsubscribes people for no reason 🤔

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Brilliant and arty solution to the split floor levels! With regards the dressed stone, I wonder if the building it came from originally was the previous building on the site, rather than it being brought from somewhere else? Lovely to see Ted up and about a bit.

[@ChateauDeMontmagner]

It is definitely a possibility, we know there were other buildings on the site from the 12th century, it would be amazing to have more information, but as always, there is more questions than answers. Lovely to hear from you as always x

[@machellep1]

Have you looked into the value of the original magazines? They could pay for the rest of you renovations. Just a thought.
