Rob, can you get those fake plastic owls to put on your roof? They might keep the birds away. You have enough nooks in your roof that you could hide from view. This is what we do in Texas to keep all the birds out of the barn. Just. thought. Loved the video.

Your guest room is really beautiful! The architecture is unique and thoses windows, Oh my!!! what a beauty.This wallpaper and color paint fit perfectly in that charming room. Concerning your draperies, yes it's expensive but if you keep them in a neutral color (cream, ivory) it's going to fit in any other room in the future. I have done that brillant choice for my last house and I do not regret the price we spent on them. Now, the are perfect again in our Dining room. Make sure they are drape inside to protect them from the sun. At this price, it worth it and you will not regret your choice. I will be happy to follow your work. Good continuity. From Canada

I still remember the day you lost your parents and when Leslie lost her mom. 😢 thanks for the reminder about family. It is amazing to find out what our kids think about our choices. Even if they hurt from them they are still glad we followed the Spirts leading. Im so glad you did. You both are amazing .

Wow! You are both so awesome! It looks incredible. Love it all! So majestic! Interesting you're using wallpaper with birds. Apart from being beautiful, the Lord is using birds to speak to numerous people right now! For me it's the Kingfisher. As a fisher of men for the King, it makes sense. What are the birds on the paper? Do you know what they symbolise? Be interesting to know. If they are finch's, they symbolise Christ's passion. And you definitely are sharing that with the students and with us. Birds rely on our Heavenly Father to feed them, and provide shelter. You keep me inspired! Thank you for sharing.

The way the paint flakes on cornices again suggests an oil, rather than a water based paint was used at some point (water and oil based paints used on top of eachother). Always always always use water based paint. Also plastered walls must be painted with water based AND LIME paint, to remain breathable. But you know all that! Keep going 👍👍👍 v enjoyable channel.

That guest suite is beautifully done. I don't think the peonies are tree peonies, I think they're something actually a bit more interesting, I think they're an herbaceous peony species (not a hybrid) that has spread out there, which is a super thing. And what a carpet of cyclamens growing along with them! Just loved the camellias, especially that double one which has a beautiful form.

The clearing out of the apocalypse downspout was my favorite part, as your having to continue to deal with the aftermath of the new roof I guess remains foremost in my mind--phew! And you said some poignant things about family--better to have no parents anymore than ones that never loved you, and still don't, like mine who are in their 90s. Our TRUE family is an eternal one, and not necessarily close by blood, which is the perspective that keeps me sane. Glad you guys have so much good extended family still.

Your hard work is paying off. It is looking beautiful! I really enjoy watching your videos. After watching so many château DIY shows, it appears that the best and easiest way to restore the floors is to use a large drywall sander that hooks up to your vacuum cleaner and sand the floors down and then use Osmo wax sealer to seal it, and it looks as if you have varnished it. They turn out absolutely beautiful. Of course, if you have a local place where you can rent a regular floor sander that would probably be faster, but I’m not so sure if it would be cheaper, it depends on the prices in France. Osmo wax sealer is so much easier to maintain because when it starts wearing, all you do is just put another coat on. Unlike varnish, It has to be sanded off. You can see examples of this on last weeks “ The Pethericks” KZbin vlog because they are refinishing the floors in their château. Just thought that might give you some ideas of a quick and easy fix for the floors.

Rob I recommend the SEBO canister vacuum. Having a professional cleaning business I used it for 20 houses. Replacement parts are readily available. It has hepa filters. It uses bags and I was able to make this more economical by cutting bottom of the bag when full. After emptying the bag I would reseal it with duct tape. I could get two to three uses per bag. This vacuum will be a life changer for you guys. I would have to buy replacement vacuums often before I purchased my SEBO. The guest room looks wonderful.

Hint to anyone with children - take the time to fill out something like that! We think we’ll remember the family stories but time has a way of blurring memories.

I agree with yr family about their hesitation with you buying a chateau. Lots of risk involved. The issue is when all these chateau owners get older. The good thing is that u will have a better chance of selling yr chateau in the future with the renovations that have done. You have made some very nice choices in decor. People move on and you will have memories of France.
