Hello there from the center part of the USA! I love your videos and would love to buy you a coffee! Do you ever hire helpers for your property or for maintenance help?

[@Zarih67]

Considering the potential disaster and amount of work I am amazed of how calm the both of you were. Good job and I hope of your Christmas was calmer.

[@ChateauLife]

haha there's always something to shock you....it's now the norm you've got to laugh at. Zarih do you remember the 2 massive trees in feb when we got the Cherry picker that had to be fallen on the driveway. that was scary as those are 'widow makers' and we had the internet line that would be severed too. other massive trees that fell in back garden on our garden tour episode, it truly becomes the norm hehe. it helps to be calm.

Hi Guys, thank you for taking us around your town, it was magical. No need to apologise as youre vlog was interesting and entertaining. Believe me its not just chateau life its just life owning property xxxx

Sorry to see you had water coming in. That's the highest, I think, I ever remember seeing your moat. Hopefully it didn't completely ruin your Christmas. Keep the videos coming, absolutely love seeing them.

[@ChateauLife]

Wow that's excellent and yes indeed that was incredibly high but not the first time we see this, seems to be a annual event but getting easier every year, all caused by overgrown trees. the importance of having a cherry picker is very clear now.

[@oxwoman8]

I love the lighted Christmas "baubles", too! In my hometown, one of the neighborhoods decorates for a local food charity with lit chicken wire balls. Thousands of cars ride down the streets before Christmas and make a donation at the end of the tour. Every home participates, there are hundreds of lighted balls, all homemade and strung throughout the 100+ year old trees of the neighborhood. It's just magical! I'm linking a how-to of how to make the "baubles" because Angelina needs a project, and Philly needs one, too! I've made them for my Mom and Daddy's house and they are just so easy! Though hoisting them up in the trees is can be a trial (hint: use a string tied to a bottle of water and toss up and over a limb. Tie the string to the ball and hoist it up -- connected to an extension cord, of course). I think very large lit balls on the lawn during your events could be so smart as well! I promise the link is just a KZbin how-to video and not something nasty! Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas and cheers from North Carolina! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpfSh2VvaZJ9h9k

[@dantherrien341]

Possible solution to the clogged outflow. Florida's solution is a storm water skimmer or retention pond skimmer. It's basically a stainless steel box without a top or bottom that goes around the outflow to stop floating debris getting into the drain. Might be a simple fix.

[@WendyVanamburgh]

Lovely village. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us when you really dont need to. Wishing you health, happiness and laughter. Enjoy your well deserved break.

[@amandab.recondwith8006]

They have all these house for sale shows on TV and they praise the fact that it was an old mill, or that some creek flows right by it. NO THANK YOU! I'd be unable to sleep during bad storms, and the storms lately seem particularly bad. Best to have a house on high ground (I live by a creek and worry a lot!).

[@ChateauLife]

I wouldn't worry too much because houses that were built near to water were built by some very skilled men at the time, they were more clever than we are nowadays and definitely knew what they were doing. That's the comforting thought I always think of

[@patricianewton4922]

What a pretty Villiage/town! Sorry about all your troubles with the flooding. At least it gets you outside 🥴

[@jitaamesuluma9730]

honestly i would not have a mote because of the damp in the house not flooding as such and because of the wear to the stone , never even thought of flooding , would have a lake though and edible fish

[@ChateauLife]

You don’t get damp in the property because of the moat nor do you get any wear to the foundation stones which are huge solid granite unaffected by being in water; they knew how to build things properly. The only issues which caused the increased water height are from modern works and bad repairs to the outflow system changing something that was perfectly designed to begin with as explained in the video

[@maryg.249]

The beautiful Christmas lights in your village accompanied by Amazing Grace gave me goose bumps! I’m sure it’s been voiced in the comments already, but you don’t have to apologize! Really, don’t! We love seeing you two in your regular every day life. You handled the flooding with courage and determination. Bravo! Take care and here’s hoping the new year brings us freedom to go about our lives free from fear. Mary

yeah there's a flood warning in the area. it is indeed something so simple caused by storms but it's high up at the end of the chateau & in this season it's deadly to attempt to fix for professionals. so we'll have to keep an eye & hope this season will be kind.

Here in Australia you can buy mini projectors that throw beautiful lights on your house just like the church ones. They just plug in and you can choose the patterns and colours.

[@ChateauLife]

I've been thinking about getting one but I wonderful need a big projector like the one up on that tree lighting of the church that was a huge one

[@TallieBear]

I totally empathize with you as we get flooding every Spring and every heavy rain. We have two sump pumps in the basement because a year ago the water was coming in so fast the walls were dripping and we had three feet of water in the basement which overwhelmed the pump. I hope you guys managed to have a good Christmas in spite of the flooding. Here's to 2021!

[@ChateauLife]

Thank you, indeed managed to have a nice xmas just in time, now awaiting all the stormy season to pass & see what adventures that brings with it! Happy Holidays!

[@Blessings.429]

I think you need to get a water pump to keep for times like this. Drop it into a bucket that has mesh over to stop leaves getting in. Maybe a pool scoop to drag through the moat. 💖⛄️❄️🇦🇺

[@ChateauLife]

hehe if only things we're that simple...the solution we're working on is as follows. the amount of self seeded trees here drop tonnes of leaves each year & they are now so unhealthy that the branches fall down which adds a disaster waiting to happen segment. so our solution is to lower down the trees & remove any that shouldn't be by the bank so stop the blockage potential. longterm dredge the moat & add aeration for the eco-system. we are fed by river & currently there are flood warnings in area. call it experience for the longterm we're gaining with these disasters hehe. staying cool calm & collected is the key. we'd also install a rod down the drain so we can move it easily back & forth in future as it won't be over the year that we'd manage to get the trees under control. love your suggestions though, get's the brain working which is great!

[@johnwilson1163]

Glad you got things sorted. It's been pretty much the same here in Norfolk. On 23rd torrential rain found a way in to my utility room. Anyway, the main thing is that you're both ok. Nice nativity display in the village 👍

[@annecraig1040]

Phil, why don't you make a long-range plan to build a small shed near the clean-out sites and house inside the shed a large REEL with a good-size diameter plumbing snake on the reel? Maybe two different caliber "snakes" on two different reels, which one used dependent on how severe is the clog. You could install snakes of sufficient lengths so it is possible to just roll them out to whichever side you need to run it down to unclog your outflows.

[@ChateauLife]

Sadly we don't have land space to do this where the outflows are. They are located on the side of a main car road so we only have 2 m space which the bushes take for privacy. Our plan is similar to put a drain rod down the pipe hole so next time this happens you just have to wiggle it back and forth already in place without any problems. The long-term solution is of course remove any self seeded trees and lower the remainder down so there are less leaves and branches falling into the mould which is the whole cause of the issue

[@catherinegiesige9863]

I'm sorry that your plans were interrupted, but, as you say, that is life. Your town is beautifully decorated, and was lovely to see. Thanks for the great content. I hope you've enjoyed a lovely Christmas. Wishing you all the very best from Western Australia.

A car I had years ago needed the windshield replaced. When they did it they left a small spot at the top not sealed. Every time it rained there was a stream coming down. My then husband refused to take it back to them and refused to tell me where he had taken it. I kept putting glass glue on, didn't really work.
