Tosses manual aside with obvious disdain. Picks manual back up, "All I need are pictures..." I felt that all the way from my thinning hair to my New Balance dad shoes.

[@anitariley2681]

It was all in French! There is usually a specific order in which you put things together or it won't work right. I'm usually the annoying reader of the instructions while hubby does the actual work. It got done and that's the important thing right? No more going up and down all those steps foe every little thing!

[@mnomadvfx]

Hey New Balance are good! I'm only in my 30s and I've come to appreciate the quality and durability of their product over the competition. So many of my previous shoes/trainers from other brands came apart in less than 2 years from use. The NB ones I have now are over 5 years old and still going strong.

Gotta admit, I'm slightly relieved he's there. Craig's his name, right? I don't know if it's his muscles or his rather dry demeanor, but I always feel like he's a calming force in this build.

How great is that!?

I’m not a builder but this seemed like a no brainer. There’s a lot of wood, stone and slate tiles to take up

I used a lift like that about 40 years ago, for same purpose.. cant work without in height... 👍

[@dryduck]

Should have bought is sooner, look at that smooth opperation.

[@erencan.s]

It feels like old days with these bees and hanging trees on top of the chateau on the background.

[@susannoonan1]

The bees didn't get the memo that Dan planted garden for them. Time to move before he has to call bee removal again.

yeah and strange enough Dan is realizing that some one has to put something on the lift and some one has to take the load off the lift... weird huh ? how would you do it otherwise ?

[@ParkAvenue-bt8of]

Can the people who sold you the chateau see the progress you’ve accomplished? If they can, it must give them so much joy. Especially every time you raise a roof. Well done, Dan!

[@SweetOne.]

wet burlap (sack cloth) with a tarp to shade it works better than cardboard and spraying it down (misting) a few times a day in hot weather. I think it is like a week per inch of mortar for curing time. The sack cloth can be washed and reused to wrap your trees in the winter to prevent damage from heavy snow on the evergreens. The cost of the sac cloth is a good investment. You have lots of lime work to do and you have lots of trees to wrap after. See you Tomorrow! Congrats on the elevator!!

I still think about the episodes where you and the beekeeper removed that hive from under the bathroom floor, it was so amazing! I hope for your sake those bees in today’s video aren’t doing similar but I kind of hope for another hive video all the same 😬

[@heehaw8401]

Bet there is a hive there!

[@azzaqmb]

I believe we will get to see another bee removal, I just hope he get to it before they get too established. It's easer to remove them when just moved in before they start to build, unlike the last time having to cut them out.

[@dennishedrick5108]

It would be neat to come across an old wrought iron lift from turn of the century and install it and make your stair case wrap around it

[@jmk1962]

They make nice looking hydraulic lifts for houses and hotels and chateaus these days, some are circular and look really neat. I doubt Dan will go for something traditional, I'm guessing he's not going to go for a traditional look in his chateau but for a more modern twist.

[@robertlemon8030]

@@jmk1962There are industrial lifts that can be purchased without tops on them that can haul quite a bit of weight. Needed to get bathroom fixtures, and fireplace bricks safely in….

[@Ragnar8504]

Unfortunately there isn't enough space for that. At the moment there's a little bit of space for winching stuff up because Dan built the ramps quite a bit narrower than the original stairs but I think the new stairs should be as wide as the original ones and that means they'll take up all the space in the stair well. The only sensible place to put a lift would be in the salon/back bedrooms with doors knocked through the centre wall into the stair hall.
