Château de la Grifferaie: Season 5, Episode -1

Season premiere next week, but we're already working on the Master Ensuite, it's demo time, and also heating, and also a discussion about non profits, and Leslie goes to the Action store.

Those tiles should come off the wall, you would be able to hide water pipes behind new drywall. I think you also need an extraction fan to get the moisture out of the bathroom. It would help with the mold issue. I enjoy seeing the renovations you have done.

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

Excited that you’re back! Looking forward to future renovations. Have a blessed week.❤

[@TheasChristmasVillages]

Thrilled to start another season with you! God bless. 🙏 🏰 🤟

Rob, you have grown so much (while DIYing a beautiful chateau). This is what the older generations did - just figure it out, no attitude and learned from their mistakes. The work you just did would have set someone back (labour) a few thousand dollars 🇨🇦. Most importantly, you are both fulfilled and have a purpose. The work you and Leslie do is an outcome of that. What I respect the most is the chateau isn’t going to be a wedding venue. You want to grow the Faith and invest in people. Also, respect the donors who have stepped forward to contribute. Humanity at its best.

Rob and Leslie, thank you for this channel and how uplifted I feel by it. A few months ago, when the piano was still new (to you), Rob played a hymn that I had never heard before - He Giveth More Grace. When I read the words on the screen they pierced my heart. This was a particularly hard time for me as we just been told that my husband had lung cancer and a short time to live. I listened to this hymn again on youtube and it became a constant source of peace and strength to me during the next weeks. This week, our 6 sons-in-law sang it at my husband's celebration of life. One of the speakers quoted my husband when he mentioned that often, the small good things we do can result in big good things in someone else's life. That was the case with you playing this song. It was probably a small thing to you but helped me through the most difficult time of my life. Thank you for sharing your goodness with the world.

[@chateaudelagrifferaie953]

Ohhhhh.... love your way, it is a beautiful hymn and it has helped me as well. Thanks for this powerful word.

[@gingermonette7455]

Hey Rob, can you walk us through why you're not removing the tile? Excited about this reno!!

[@VaultMCMLXXXIII]

Can't wait to see how the bathroom turns out!

[@sallymoffit3751]

A beautiful bathroom coming right up!!! ❤

[@susanamann1806]

Beautiful sky shots, beautiful sunsets and sunrises Mr B is happy searching. Doing good.🤗🤗💞💞🇺🇸🙏

[@dutchyatchateau]

Bless you all. Nice upload, thanks! 🥰🥰

[@terrysuemakesvideosforyou9940]

Thanks for the video! Thank you Rob for explaining about your heating. I didn't realize that you had the boiler system working. But it is so expensive to run! A couple of other Chateau channels that I watch have added an extra wood fired boiler to their system. It helps on the cost of the fuel for the boiler. But it does take alot of extra work for the wood. It is too bad about your chimneys. I thought that at least one was open because of the birds getting in! Haha! God Bess you both this week and all of your projects!

[@margaretfrosst575]

What a bloomed rose how special.Rod you're a wise man of many talents.Safe travels Leslie.

[@EdmunddelaRiviere]

Great job as usual Rob & Leslie. You are absolutely right with the Shark bites.

[@meri8746]

I cannot believe it’s time for Season 5!!!! You both seem more comfortable than you ever have. Lots of experience! Can’t wait to see what 2025 holds for you both!

[@jcwach7]

Video upgrade? I am not a critic…. I enjoy your channel and your hard work.

[@ellebelle8515]

Rob and Leslie, Your beautiful Chateau de la Grifferaie is not only a historic work of art; it comes with all the surrounding property- forests and gardens which you and your friends are also lovingly restoring. Best of all, it is all being shared with the young people who become part of your program through the months and years. Great investment for God's purposes.

[@carolinewalker368]

Keep up the great work. Enjoying everything you two are doing. I also love your take on donations to a school. Our private Christian school went down during covid. On the bright side of it is that we had truly some of the best young people thrive and are really great young adults now. It is worth it!! Thank you for reminding me of that!!!

[@beverlysmith9854]

Always look forward to your videos! I love to see old things brought back to beauty. I also love your perspective on life and religion.

[@bcmontanalife]

Excited to see how the bathroom turns out!

[@normamurray4450]

God Bless you both as you continue to work on your beautiful chateau.

[@rhonatemple2776]

❤️Rob so sweet of fortress for Bingley what a good dad you are 🇨🇦

[@gelsilicawalker3835]

You are a man of many talents as the wife is frugal.

[@CatMindy2187-o4v]

Fantastic sunsets!!!

[@janetvorenkamp3655]

great to have you back. You deserve the bathroom. Looking forward to seeing that project develop. I have that same sink and very hard to clean. Wondering if I could use your same method of the scoring on a formica backsplach and tile over it. Sorry you're so cold.

[@54waky]

Love the speedy up the stairs😊

[@lorikeller7990]

Please consider this, I do not like ceiling fans but in your bathroom it would provide a necessary function. And that is to help with drying of moisture to prevent mold etc. The ceiling is very high and currently is just a trapped area for moisture to grow mold. ( I mean a ceiling fan/light and some even throw heat).

[@dianetipton6040]

The running upstairs video was hilarious!

[@tinarobinson7509]

Good job!!

[@laidasisco5569]

Have you ever thought pressure washing those front stairs. I imagine they would look great 😊

[@renatadennis777]

French skincare products are amazing.

[@linajackson4545]

It will be impossible to dry out the bathroom completely because of the water in the toilet bowl. You would have to block that off temporarily while you run the dehumidifier. As an alternative you run it in the bedroom and close the bathroom door while running it. At least you will be able to dry out one room completely

[@ThelmaLivesey]

We always love looking at the chateau-beautiful!! Might have missed it but why is your lovely dog called Mr Bingley?

[@gingermonette7455]

"I love to see the original mission preserved." Me too, but the Lord often has other plans. And we don't want to force something He's no longer in. "There is a time to be born, and a time to die."

[@angelamalcomb1373]

I would always keep water lines exposed in case there is a problem down the road you can easily get to them

[@susanamann1806]

Make a snug room, so on cold days you can be warm and sleep warm. It is a small room that is easy to keep warm.😕

[@Cherlann]

It would be so awesome if you could install a wood stove (log burner?) but I understand the worry that the chimney might crumble.

[@jenateer2518]

Ventless propane logs is a possible option for your beatiful fireplaces

[@ukpaullouis2708]

Lesley is that a new Wedding Ring? Did Rob do something very nice for you? It looks lovely. I can not remember seeing it b4.

[@IPC0101]

You can buy a cheap tool to de-burr the outside and inside of pipe, it takes seconds

[@coleenwhite1634]

Why wouldn’t you take the tiles off the walls and floor. I would allow you to see any water damage, and you would not loose any square footage in a tight space.

[@jcwach7]

Since you are not busy enough you should propagate your griffarie rose and fundraise on it…

[@eightiesallen3180]

Most chateau hotels last only a few years. Unfortunately, then they become hard to sell after they fail, because who needs a chateau with 30 bedrooms? 🤔

[@sheilakadolph5002]

Hi Leslie, would you share the name of the French skincare you used in the US? 😊

[@florencecampana1515]

Maybe you should use newspaper for those gaps instead of plastic.

[@gioiapharo7433]

In the US ….. we have fake fireplace inserts that runs on gas or electric ……. they give out heat

[@oosterhuisd]

-23 C in Edmonton tonight! Ughh..

[@debbiecagliarini4421]

Peonies are between $25.00-$30.00 per bulb, certainly not for 2 in Australia, what a bargain!!!!

[@bonniegraham2439]

Not peonies, looked like prim roses to me. Still great price.

[@bonniegraham2439]

Sorry should have waited till the end before commenting.

[@margaretrollo4114]

Robb I think you are wonderful but please ware proper footwear when you working about the château?

[@dianefrazier7789]

Take the old tile out, please!
