[@gordonulrickson3626]

Running the flooring in the opposite direction is a great idea to save the few long lengths you have also as someone said putting a pattern in on the other end in the area at the bottom of the stairs would allow you to use up short lengths as well. Do you close the door to the workshop future kitchen often I would just leave it open in the morning to let the light out into the hall. It's nice of you to allow the race to run through the Chateau grounds. Your Mom works so hard in the garden it is amazing. Love the views from up in the cherry picker.

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Adrian, your idea for the hall on switching the direction of the boards is a good one. I think it would look awesome. It will give it a little bit of a different direction. That way, you're not halfing to look for all long boards, especially when you say that there may be some damage to them. I'm looking forward to seeing how ur are going to proceed and how it turns out..

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

Thanks for the support!😊

[@BodyByBJfitness]

Running the hall floor by the bathroom in a different direction is brilliant. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.

[@Sanford63]

It’s such a treat to see the towers up close from the cherry picker. And the hall transformation is just beautiful, you two are getting it right. And as always, love a look at the garden!

[@ellebelle8515]

Having been incredibly impressed by everything you have done so beautifully and painstakingly in your chateau and outside grounds, I am finding that your hallway is my favorite restoration to watch. The transformation is incredible and so important to the initial presentation of your chateau home.

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

Thank you so much!

[@LoireValleyChateaux]

If you replace the upper beveled door panel with glass make sure to use beveled glass to match the integrity of the door & your Chateau. I redesigned our local Chamber of Commerce using beveled glass to mimic molded wood & it resolved an ongoing feud between the historical society & the Chamber. ❤️🙏

[@kindlydude]

They could even have some beautiful etching in the glass ...either look for an historical piece or have one made ...maybe with the coat of arms (if there is one).

[@linshannon4480]

Adrian's potential plan for using shorter pieces of wood at the end is a clever solution to maximize the usefulness of what flooring you have left. But I also thought it sets up the possibility of creating a different pattern for the other end near Carole's little niche. That way, it'll look deliberate. Clever idea.

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

Thank you 😊

[@kindlydude]

@@LifeAfterLaFerté A Zig Zag pattern (herringbone perhaps) would look even more deliberate. 😉

[@kathywillis7459]

What a pretty view, the end of the hall with the horse head lamp and the chairs. Just beautiful! Mum and Alf getting so much done. I hope I have their drive and energy when I hit their ages.

[@peter_bazinet]

I'm always so happy to see your garden and the progress. Your mum and dad are amazing. My mum is 93 and still does all her gardening.

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

Oh wow!

[@bigboy77dk]

Adrian, great idea with another pattern on that last piece - BUT how about trying to do something, like the pattern by the front door? That would probably still be possible with shorter pieces, and you could just do it in the middle, and then also do something like it, in the centre up in the other end, by the staircase too? I just think it would really look nice with some sort of pattern in the parquet floors. Just to do something a little "extra" now that the hallway is getting a beautiful upgrade 😊

[@tobias9859]

I second that thought.

[@kindlydude]

Yes! My thought was a herringbone pattern.

[@bigboy77dk]

He could even add other colours of wood, if, as he said, he was almost running out. The possibilities are certainly there, and it would add an extra touch of grandeur. But he has done an amazing job so far, so I'm sure it will look great, whatever he does - I just thought, I'd throw in a little idea, for inspiration 😁

[@jlebo001]

It's wonderful that you include so much context in your videos. Between family gatherings, group projects, neighbours helping neighbours, community events, getting lost and finding delightful surprises around every corner... you provide so much added value to the story of your chateau renovation. Your joyful engagement in the world really is inspirational!

[@TheCrowsNest1950]

Hi Carole and Adrian, Another few busy days working on the Chateau and getting ready for the racing. The floor going back in look great and the vegetable gardens will continue through the season. I'm with Adrian on not dealing well with heights on the cherry picker. I couldn't look out the third-floor window and I lived in the old Queen Ann Victorian I owned for 30 + years. Now we're in a mid-century ranch, so much better. Mark & Scott

[@sylviecote3634]

I just appreciate so much visualizing your videos every week. The work that is advancing so well..the hallway is gorgeous, adorned with the curtains Carole made and the lamp shades + the color that brightens it all. What a great idea Carole had to have reproduced the motif of the wallpaper that was in the hallway onto tissue in order to make curtains. It is a wink of what was on that hallway accompanied by the tableau at the end of the hallway of the real thing. Yes! Light should be directed on the tableau to showcase it. It has been a dream of my Husband and I to see Mont St-Michel and now You have showed this Bay not far from the Mont that looks so tranquil and out of time. I lived in B.-C. Canada at a certain time in my life … It brings me back in time. Yes! I agree, that little valley has a resemblance. I appreciate also when You grace us with pictures of that lovely village caressed by a bucolic little river accompanied by a look at the entrance of Château Montgomery. Happy that Carole Parents are around to help out also. Will the next video be the brocante you where looking for….Anticipation… 😊

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

You never know!! 😊

[@pmm3112]

Well Adrian, that puts a whole new spin on “Let’s get Cracking!” The view is astounding when you see the valley, the coach house and the walled gardens from above. Brilliant idea to run the last of the wood in the opposite direction to complete that part of the floor in the hallway; it adds interest to the end of the hallway which is looking Fabulous!!🎉🎉 Huge congratulations on the results of your hallway restoration project . You’re a master at puzzles by now for sure. I was just wondering? Why are there lighter pieces running across the hallway? Is it a different wood species? Will they take the stain/finish the same as the majority of the wood with the final finish?? It really looks like a totally new space!! Have you considered the radiators in the blue to match the walls rather than to highlight them by a contrast?? 😮😅😊 The garden beds look amazing now. I like the wooden borders. It gives a very finished appearance to the long wall. Nice to have the help! Big 🦶 Foot??? 😂😂😂 You’re too much!! Carry on and all the best!!

[@LifeAfterLaFerté]

The lighter shades are just the difference in the natural wood. Another coat of Osmo might darken it slightly

[@annamariabo8963]

Love to see you working on the hallway doors. They must have felt like such an eyesore with all the work you've done to make the hallway beautiful

[@kathywiseman7944]

The hallway is coming together nicely. ❤

[@HoltEllen]

I just want to give my vote for the anthracite paint on the bottom panels of the hallway. First of all I love the color, so my opinion might be biased. I painted the woodwork in our 1938 english revival bungalow in that color. However, the color is warm and grounding and goes well with dark oak floors, at least in my house it does. We also have a lot of color (1930's houses were rich with color) and it goes well with all of it. I think in your hallway it would do the same, ground the base so that the beautiful blues, whites and creams can sour.

[@Valmtg]

What a beautiful little tucked away café! A lot of the landscape and foliage is reminiscent of sections in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park which is minutes from me. If Carole wants to go hiking with a bit more self-assurance, a hiking stick would be great! I use one when I go through the park trails. If not, she can still get that stick and use it for other purposes (when is the flooring going to be done?) 😅. For the flooring, I think changing the direction would be perfectly suitable. It would help making a better visual for the floor when entering/leaving the bathroom (toilet) and provided that there be similar wood flooring in the workshop then having the layout of the rotated wood transition nicely into the room and that direction would be appropriate for it, yes?

[@marifgold1]

I love the cresting (that’s what the ornamental roof bits are called. I looked it up!) on the chateau. It is beautiful. The hallway is looking lovely. I think the floor will be wonderful going either direction with the planking. Everyone is doing a smashing job!

Looking great! Chateau de la Ferte is being reborn thanks to you! I was wondering is you've ever considered putting a mirrored wall at the end of the hallway by the Loo (sorry, in America Loo sounds so much better than toilet) to give the impression as you walk down the hallway that the hallway continues on and on and on back to the staircase and hang a crystal chandelier in the space which can also be reflected into the mirror and appear as having 2 chandeliers to brighten the end of the hallway? Especially with a glass insert into the door from the old kitchen, the effect would be quite amazing and dramatic! Even if you had a demilune console table at the end there 😀😍at the mirror, it would appear to be round by the reflection. Quite a conversation piece, Yes??

Running the floorboards sideways in that one area is a good choice, but it would look even better if you had a design or pattern such as the one by the front door, or even a few simple triangular shapes would enhance that area and shouldn't be too difficult to manage. 😊👍

Just a thought, that kitchen door mostly stays open anyway. I wouldn’t bother putting glass in it. A pressure washer with a power bank could be really amazing to clean the north side debris off of the roof. Then you could see what tiles need to be changed. It would look amazing.

[@gordonulrickson3626]

I had the same thought about the door.

[@alternate1868]

Adrian could repeat the square parquet design at the end of hall in front of the toilet to enable a smooth transition for the flooring direction change

[@sandrasydney3039]

You could place a design in the floor boards, similar to the area at your entrance way, in which you could utilise many of the short pieces and off cuts from damaged boards running from the toilet along the passage way. Whilst this would take a lot more time and work it would blend the boards without looking out of place.

[@donataj2213]

So much has happened today, Carole, the door looks so much better, how a little paint can make it better. The floor in the hall is wonderful, not so much left to finish, although still hard work on the stairs. The view from above is amazing! The annual run seems to have gone well.

[@paullynch277]

If you want to keep the Garden Beds weed free and extremely easy to maintain going forwards - then cover them in 3-4 inches thick layer of Large Bark Mulch. Don't get Medium or Fine Bark Mulch - that just mats together and doesn't allow rain water to penetrate the soil. Large Bark Mulch on the other hand will. Best practice is to heavily water the bed/soil before you add Mulch to it - that way you will lock in moisture to the soil. If the Soil in the bed is compacted, no need to fully dig it over, just Aerate/loosen it with a Fork before the Mulch is then applied.

[@nrivera4380]

The hall and gardens look amazing. Great job to all! Adrian, can the roof tiles be pressure washed (on a lower setting) or is that a no no? The run/bike event was bigger than I thought it would be. The Baie de Mont St. Michel forest is lovely. Happy brocanting!
