Greetings from the U.S. Dan. I'm a big fan. With the mountain of work needing to be done on this place, a lesser man would be left weeping into his cornflakes. I absolutely love your spirit. Even when things go wrong, you remain undaunted and positive always looking for the silver lining in those clouds. You're an inspiration to us all.❤

[@normamurray4450]

Amen to that!!!!

[@lynnralph8373]

We all agree, Dan is a great worker and a wonderful example for his sons.

[@loloholmes2793]

a lesser man would know his limits & hire a professional to save his marriage 😅

[@deacjansp2]

Oh Dan, I about fell off my chair laughing with you when you (Re) exposed that window. Thanks for finding the fun on this Friday, and sharing with us!❤

[@karensmith5116]

That wall is gorgeous! Your creativity is inspiring!

[@katelanxner6483]

So glad the weather was on your side, Dan! I admire your patience so much on this wall work.

[@cathyagain5841]

The stone looks fantastic. Good to hear there was no damage with the roof.

[@autumnwaters574]

Looking good Dan, you have done so much there. What a great dad you are to create such a beautiful home for your boys

[@ladytammy6886]

That new pointing looks so much better than the old stuff on the walls. You're doing a fabulous job Dan.

[@5usiewongs489]

It was painful watching my partner take a month to replace the balustrades on our front verandah, and the next job is for me to paint the outside of our two storey house 🤦🏽‍♀️ I don’t know how you do so much on your own, Dan, and keep your vision. You’re doing such an incredible job!

[@lynnesands3880]

Amazing work Dan, that wall looks great 😊

[@chantalpinsonneault1299]

I just wish you'd wear protective gear, Dan. You're worth it!

[@alexarosa632]

He's going back to his bad old ways.

[@davidbuchan3753]

Agreed! C’mon… Think about it, Dan.

[@mavep2855]

Nice bit of pointing Dan! Bet you are looking forward to Sunday and a day off.🙏❤️

[@judymossip7446]

Dan! Did you treat yourself to a new wheelbarrow? It’s a beauty and you sure deserve the best tools and equipment!! More great work done today and ever closer to finishing this job 🎉❤

[@cliffhorman6846]

Excellent progress Dan! It's really taking shape quickly now.

[@brittawrolson5936]

Chipping away at it (literally) is getting you to the finish line. Another good job Dan

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Wow Dan can't believe how well you breathed new life into that old now new farm.Great job. That was a blessing from God that the tornado did harm any of you or the property.

[@lizstevenson7801]

You did well Dan, and it looks really good what you have done so far. 💕🇦🇺

[@Randy8923]

The exposed stonework looks great Dan.

[@jillychandler]

My goodness Dan, you are working so hard on this project. Your work is so good too, making everything as it should be, to a very high standard. As Cheryl S said, you are an insiration to us all. xxx

[@kathyritchey9526]

I love how beautiful it always turns out. Great job. I'm for using the appropriate gear so that you don't end up losing your lungs.

[@rosemariedeschenes7013]

Nicely done and thank goodness no damage from the tornado. The wall is looking fabulous. Thanks for sharing and see ya tomorrow 😍😘

[@apoco_lips9957]

Looking great, I think the lightening up you did on the weakened barn roof might help it in high winds :D

[@helenstella2666]

Happy Friday Dan Daily 😊 loving the wall ❤

[@lindabryant4292]

A tornado??? Goodness. I am glad all is well. The wall looks great. 🧡

[@SdW.8]

Looking great! I hope you keep the stones exposed.

[@sandicarpenter2658]

Dan the energy and patience you put into those walls is amazing.....they look so pretty when finished. Such a talent. Sandi x

[@albertpeckham8708]

You work so amazingly well with the lime mortar. My old 1850's house was built with lime mortar but no one here in the US knows anything about it and the old bricks are cracking because of it. Where are you when I need you? BTW, I'm 83 years old so climbing scaffolding like a mountain climber is not part of the scenario. Crack on!

[@MamaVee50]

Sure looks nice! I’m constantly amazed at your skill set. ❤

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

So happy you came out unscathed too.

[@jackieduncan4660]

That looks really nice , it's amazing how much you have achieved .👍🇬🇧👏

[@suemccoy7533]

I still can't believe you are this (1) man construction company doing it all! Your the man, Dan, Crack On!

[@saundrasmith9040]

What a cozy home you are building Dan! Crack on. You're getting it done!

[@wandadunn2907]

Hey Dan, you accomplished a lot for a Friday. Little by little, bit by bit, and boom, you'll be finished at the farmhouse and off to your next project. And we get to watch you 🙂

[@marciadynes7628]

Beautiful as always such great work Dan!

[@donnasteinberg1398]

Dan, love the stone work! I love your commitment to your projects too. It will look awesome when done!

[@janejennings4537]

Out of all the vlogs I follow I always watch yours first. So definitely a short one is better than none. Keep up the good work Dan.👏

[@cherylmiller3816]

I love how you make a wall so dramatically beautiful. You have an eye.

[@jeanburgin160]

It is so nice how you are making this farm house like new again Dan. Love seeing what and how you clean and restore your home. Thank goodness you all didn't get any damage.

[@winmarfbd909]

We had another snow storm last night & today, so not tornado weather here yet! Glad you and yours and your roofs are ok. Fun video today! See ya...tomorra ❤🙏from Michigan USA

[@darleneklein429]

Another Michigander enjoying your videos!

[@michellebyrom6551]

Had a snowstorm in GB and Ireland, too. Looking forward to double figures on the thermometer come Monday. Still, the snow is preferable to the potential damage of a tornado.

[@bertbrecheisen8126]

Love the updated wall, so much nicer than previously.

[@anabelavandenheuvel480]

Beautiful to expose the stone walls. I love that you are keeping the integrity of the building and keeping the true age showing. I love old historic buildings and I would have loved to live in a Château.😊 Once you finish with the alterations and design the garden it will look beautiful. Design a real old French garden will make your cottage look like a little château and with your wife and children safe dan le petit Château, vous pouvez vous consacrer complément à la reconstruction du grand Château. Je suis très impatiente de commencer à voir des résultats dans le grand château. Perfect work always take its time 😄

[@sniderspider7034]

Now I don't even know what you did before the scaffolding... what a great investment!

[@juliemix3373]

Dan, that wall is looking better every day. I'm amazed that you found that window on the first go. Good on ya. Cheers

[@bugsey2704]

Amazing perseverance Dan …… ull be a master craftsman by the time ur chateau is finished👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 just love watching build progress no matter the length of vlogs …… it’s the journey that ur bringing us on that’s so interesting ……. KEEP VLOGGING DAN 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@jeanrichardson2044]

Awesome work, Dan. When you aimed that pickaxe at that window, ouch....

[@christineh5790]

You certainly don’t take the easy road Dan. You pick the most beautiful look and get on with the hard work to achieve it! The pointed stones look fabulous already, even though only half way through the job.👏🥰

[@barblallier9413]

Great job,,it's really looking so good! Have a good weekend!

[@janetmackinnon3411]

I like how youleave as much stone visible as possible.

[@clairecarvalho2230]

Great job Dan, it's all coming together nicely! Have always wondered what are you listening to on your headphones!

[@brigittemustermann3202]

Dear Dan, I enjoy your work and especially the wall with the old stones. You are doing a really great job und 1000thanks for the inspiration to start also with huge projects...

[@shell1951]

Beautiful job, Dan!

[@Giraffelover54]

Damn! Great work Dan. It looks beautiful!!

[@suesally2103]

Dan it starting to look like a really nice room 💕

[@christine3520]

thanks dan. what a storm we had last night x that wall reminds me of italian nougat .hehe 😎

[@dotlaing1085]

Great job Dan….it’s looking superb. X Dottie

[@toddtonis]

I really enjoy your videos. I also enjoy doing things myself like you. However, you seem to never take a break from the work schedule. Where do you get all the energy? Red Bull three times a day?

[@pamkullman8839]

look at you with a new wheelbarrow! the wall is looking so good!

[@nikkiwc]

It’s so fun to watch your progress. Praying the tornados stay away from your roofs!!!

[@turawolfe2841]

It is looking better! Good job! See you tomorrow!!

[@1231ms54]

Looking good have a good weekend.

[@SweetOne.]

my hands hurt watching you chisel away at that wall for hours. I don't know if working in the cold makes it easier or harder on your hands? Beautiful Job, something I know how to do but would definitely struggle with. You make it look painless.

[@4hubby971]

Superior editing. Bravo.

[@Leed216]

Looking great Dan, but please use some eye protection and for that matter some safety boots. It only takes a tiny spec in your eye to leave you disabled. Safety first.

[@cheriesharp234]

Stone work is looking great. Xxx

[@jimh4072]

The wall looks much better pointed instead of the old render. 👍

[@audreyatherton3373]

Hi from South Africa Dan. I admire you for not giving up. You need to wear a mask to protect your lungs when working with polystyrene and dust.

[@janetvorenkamp3655]

I'd metal roof the open side and call it good. don't know how expensive it is in france. Anxious to see more work on the Chateau.

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

A short one is better than no one.

[@libbyrudolph6302]

You do an amazing job with such painstaking work! Kudos Dan!

[@iamwhoiamd7056]

Awesome job Dan.

[@jeanniehenrichs1897]

Good job Dan! A little video is perfect, long ones are perfect too!!❤

[@judyhollmer2584]

fine job your doing. steady as she goes, it's not a race. Turning out great. Thanks for the daily content.

[@elisabethhopson5639]

Connie the concrete mixer does a great job. Then Dan does his pointy, scubbing magic and hey presto! we have a fabulous wall, which will last for ages. Great job Dan.

[@myrnamcmillan4755]

The wall is looking amazing see you tomorrow 😀

[@lisaglynn3121]

Great job Dan, can’t wait until you have it all resurfaced!

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Amazing progress! Thank you for the video! Have a gala day!

[@charmees6637]

So glad you knew where the window was. I was a bit Err! umm! Hoping you guessed right. Phew! Great work done today 😁

[@myviewkristinamclaughlin5157]

Dan, you are awesome! But, please wear a mask when you work with crumbly dusty stuff. Your boys need you strong and healthy ❤

[@jesschee5891]

Boy that cement mixer was a good investment and I did notice that new wheel barrow, happy to see that. 😉

[@richardhathaway2901]

Well. I watched this and the previous vlog with interest. I now feel totally guilty for not doing my barn! Thanks Dan!

[@maryjenkins6848]

Just great. You are truly an inspiration to all.

[@annettesharrock1236]

Nice job yet again Dan the pointer man . See yer tomorrow x

[@auntiewin1134]

Please keep this up. I think a lot more old stone farmhouses in France could be saved if we just knew what to do!. Do you have an opinion about matching the mortar color to something..I saw one 18thc house in Dordogne with orange mortar

[@michellebyrom6551]

Orange mortar. That is sending my head into a spin. Here in Derry houses - Victorian mainly - have their renders in various shades of white or pastel colours. Looks pretty from across the river. Coloured mortar is a logical equivalent. But orange? Wow.

[@karensloman5787]

Looks fab Dan.

[@janetnash]

It’s looking great Dan. Have a good weekend.

[@louisegatti9262]

Crazy weather lately here in the states, glad you came out unscathed from the tornado. See ya tomarra!!!

[@carolaspinall1562]

Hi Dan, exposing the brickwork is your 'Trademark', and very nice too🥰You are of the breed that loves to work alone, am I right. although as we have seen you needed the Tree Feller.

[@tesshiva]

You are getting so much use out that scaffolding!

[@karennoble3795]

Really enjoy these videos with the original rock work. What’s your favorite part of this work? The removing the old mortar looks fun.

[@lucyburlot9526]

I was reading about the tornado in the creuse, the poor people that were affected had major damage done! Some friends 5 minutes away from us (charente) had a mini tornado the same day that did damage a small bit of their barn roof, they said the same thing happen last year 😬

[@dianegriffith3006]

Maybe they’re in a zone more likely for tornados!

[@karinbergman1646]

Thank goodness the tornado missed you! 💗

[@janetwhitney233]

Love the speed up, it’s like your moving to the music, Quickly😅

[@elainekoska4007]

It’s all coming out great!

[@scottburbridge3170]

the wall is looking beautiful.

[@dotell8925]

Happy Friday,Dan.

[@MichaelTaylor-ei7es]

Seem to remember you saying you were a ‘that’ll do type of guy’. Don’t agree. You’re attention to detail and making sure you get it right shows how dedicated you are. Keep up the good work!

[@gaelenecole4053]

Good morning team , Aww Dan you will be pointing walls in your sleep ... looks amazing I must say 🤩😍 my phone died so once the panic was over i found my old laptop... soo i dont miss my daily fix of Escape to France .......

[@michaelwieneke1992]

Great progress Dan, really like the rendering. What is your plan with this place, if 🙂 and when you finish it up? Live there, or sell?

[@foretb1162]

Dan, a question, does the lyme render differe if it is an interior wall compared to an exterior wall exposed to the elements? Is there more lyme on one compared to the other?

[@brendaheath3731]

I'm glad you asked cause I've been wondering myself if the same mix works outdoors.

[@lindabellile5738]

Man you are good at this. What a skill.

[@lindamitman4538]

Couple more days of pointing. Did the other side of the boot room roof get done - did I miss that? When will you start on the a-frame for the little porch? All the little touches will really make this addition shine! Pretty cool - are things getting sorted with the car?
