Don't blame the hard ground Dan for not getting all of the rootball! 😅 Those saplings are reasonably well established. You need to dig roughly about 30-60cm away from the base of the trunk if you're to have (any) hope in hell of getting the main taproots, otherwise it's a complete and utter waste of time, manual or mechanical digging equipment. And if at all possible, a good soaking of the ground the day before digging, would make the job demonstrably easier, aided by a REALLY good soak following replanting & for AT LEAST 12mths afterwards until re-establishment is obvious. MOST people don't have such a sad and sorry replanting success rate for trees.

My husband and I dug up and replanted over 300 Spruce trees when we bought our acreage 45 years ago. To date, they are 40-50 feet high on average. We dug up a good sized rootball, transported in 2 loads from 150km away, and immediately planted into 24” holes that had been prepped with water, fertilizer, and soil. They were babied with water and fertilizer for a full 2 years. It is not easy to grow healthy trees in cold climates, but that was how we had 100% success rate with ours. Wishing you the best of luck with your chateau grounds as well. Much better climate for growing!👍🏻🌲🌴🌳

As I have found, 1. Don't dig saplings or bushes untill you've had a soaking rain. Digging is easier. Also time of year is important for these rescued plants so they will grow in. I would suggest digging typically in the fall, you won't need to water as much. Oh, if you did have a mechanical digger it would be tons easier.

Hi,Dan. I agree with everyone else regarding using a funnel or buying a gas can top with the corrugated plastic filling spout. Most fuel containers in Canada and the USA include the fill spout with the jug purchase. Regarding your lack of safety equipment; a hard hat is a good thing. It will prevent small rocks or sapling trees from giving you a bad concussion/ cut,but it won't help you with anything larger. The hard hat is only plastic after all. The MOST IMPORTANT safety items that you DON'T use are steel toed work boots ( with a rubber sole if you work in the woods) and a good quality pair of Chainsaw Pants !!!! This is super important as it only takes a split second to get a really bad cut ( that requires many,many stitches), the loss of some digits or a limb. Worse case...the loss of your life. Its all too easy to get injured while operating a chainsaw.....one small mistake or a distraction can cost you dearly. Try to keep the area that you are working/ cutting in as clear as possible too ( to prevent a misstep or slip while walking around the brush ). Be very careful working in the woods,please .

Where did you learn about trees? First; if you're going to dig up saplings, make sure the soil is moist, then slice a circle around them, and then try to pry them up. Second; do NOT shake the soil off the roots, the plant needs that and it will assure its survival. Third; have the new hole prepared and ready to fill. Do not plant deeper than it was. It does not hurt to sprinkle a few granules of fertilizer in the hole, too. - signed / a retired landscaper who specialized in trees.

Just a thought about the stairs & rail...the wooden rail along the top of the balustrades would have been over the top of a metal rail (like the one you showed) which was fixed in place and the wooden rail with a groove underneath would have been fixed over the top to hide it. The fire probably burnt all the wood away. Metal balustrades can be very elegant and, again, perhaps the fire and then exposure to the weather might have eroded / damaged any shape they may have had. Definitely not an expert but I helped upgrade a Georgian townhouse in Scotland and we had to re-instate missing railings and a hand rail.

I do hope that once you have finished the cottage and moved to the chateau, you will not be so tired so that you can work smarter, not harder. Many of us wish we could go help you. But for the most part, we are all in other countries and it is not doable. But we always wish you good luck and the best of conditions for work. 😊 And of course, despite what you said, some of us wish you hadn't cut up and burned that good old wood from the hay trailer without at least attempting to use it elsewhere first if only to save a trip to town when needing some rough lumber for something. Old wood holds up even when almost completely rotten through.

Given the sheer scale of the eventual renovations of the grounds, I'd have dug up and replanted any saplings I could find too. But I must have better luck than Dan because I'm a terrible triffid Womble. Rough land near housing are my favourite hunting grounds and I combine a lovely walk with a nice Womble for new garden plants. Best haul was roughly worth ~£200 & was so heavy I could (barely) stop-start stagger to the bus stop to pay the £1•85 fare home - & that included a VERY nice terracotta pot in perfect condition. People who are either, illogical, dumb, or simply have more money than sense, regularly dump their unwanted garden plants in these areas instead of simply sticking them in the Council's canvas provided bag for the purpose, taking a short walk to the front gate - and leaving it there to be collected for composting. Still, their idiocy is my gain and I'm laughing all the way home. I generally get a 98/99% replanting success rate.

Probably farmed fields or pasture adjoining which is great to keep that side of the landscape open (views). Dan can decide for himself if he wants a dense hedge border a lower stone partition or repositioned saplings he can keep trimmed so he doesn't lose the view from the Chateau.

Please, Dan, buy a fuel funnel! It's terrible watching that petrol splash everywhere when you refill the chainsaw or mixer etc. Love your videos but that grates everytime I see it.

Dan, Dan, Dan... Please, please, please do an episode where you tell us WHY you are not focused on the ROOF. Why aren't you getting that done first to protect all the work you've already completed. If you have already addressed the issue, I apologize for missing that episode, otherwise we need to know why it's not your absolute priority??? Love your channel

If you're going to dig a hole with a shovel; use a round nosed shovel. Its made to dig holes deeply and remove the whole chunk of earth with each attempt. Big rocks and roots are still an obstacle. Lol

I've been wondering why he doesn't bring in a container for storage and a camper trailer (a "caravan") to stay in when he's on site. There may be some zoning or land use laws that prevent it.
@lisabeaver7061

Agree, thinking the same thing. Why not a camper (caravan) and captained. Here in Ontario Canada we can rent pods that can be stored on your property to put items in temporarily.
