Major Works Closes The Chateau - Chateau Life 🏰 EP 394

[@sandraengle9702]

I miss seeing your beautiful pup. I hope all is well.

[@kimbevan5614]

Glad you are on hand with the villagers to stop any historical damage Phil. Well done K🇬🇧❤️

[@bluejeanie8978]

Missing lovely Lightning!

[@claireburkus8497]

Glad they didn’t start work before you charity event!! Gotta find a bit of sunshine in the midst of clouds!!

[@valeriemcclain9001]

Nothing but excitement at the Chateau!!!

[@mrsmiggins6435]

As frustrating as it is it could've been a lot worse and been last week. Putting away can always be done in the future, it's not going anywhere lol. You're looking very well Phil, hope you feel it. Have a good weekend. Stay safe🤗🇬🇧

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

Thank goodness you are telling the workers where the historical arches and bridges are. It would be terribly heartbreaking if they were destroyed. ❤

[@petergledhill7380]

Phil if the workman putting the water main in can’t get the cover/depth over the ancient arch bridge tell them to insulate the pipe for that section.

[@wandacasper5612]

Thankful u can get done, what u can. Hope u have a great weekend. Stay safe

[@summer189414]

WOW that's hard work taking all that down and normally harder than putting it up I find 😮

[@hmeyers5114]

Late comment. Your fabrication is brilliant! There are structural loads to consider in an awning like that that carries lights, the wind and rain on the tarp cover, as well as the metal itself. Good job. I hope you have labelled the metal stage connections so you can more easily put it up next year. Even colour coded. I spent years touring large stage productions and people who are commenting on the amount of time it takes to put up and strike sets... have no clue. Especially when you are building as you go. Once it's properly built to be moved subsequent get-ins and strikes are slick. 👍 I hope you can find at least one other person to help you with your projects as having a chippy to fetch, carry, rinse brushes, move brush, etc., makes it four times faster.😉

[@catalinawilkinson1113]

It's always something that will slow one down. You always soldier on.

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Well done Phil,all the work preparing and now dismantling with a smile. Could have been before your party!! Never a good time.👏👏🤣🤣❤❤

[@margaretgarrett6632]

Hope all goes well, and work goes smoothly and weather keeps fine. ❤

[@mariettafocke9276]

Hi Phil glad you are ok. How is Lightning doing?

[@suemccoy7533]

Happy Weekend and it was nice to see you Phil. Your chateau is always filled with something exciting going on. Good you are being helpful with information for the waterpipe workers, so historic things stay in place and not damaged.

[@sniderspider7034]

Good news is you have a vlog on how the band stand will go back together again, I would never remember what went first otherwise.

[@KatMer6163]

This isn't Phil's first birthday party/charity event. The bandstand has had a lot of use.

[@mariagillinson8527]

GOOD! They didn’t do this when you had your party scheduled… you would have had to cancel right

[@jensissons5709]

Muscovy ducks will clean up your moat!!

[@jackierice4254]

Probably get eaten by the Coypu!

[@jensissons5709]

@@jackierice4254 Coypu are herbivores with occasional snails mussels. Muscovies roost in trees so they are safe at night.

[@jamesbaker429]

They ​@@jackierice4254they are vegetarian too.

[@SylviaSchenkelsvan57]

Hard work...again! Stay saf💋e and take care!

[@cecoya]

Nice to get new pipes and hopefully no cost to you for them. This will give you time to get everything completed and stacked up for next year. You said September is the heavy duty work month and they are doing some heavy duty work with the digger and pipework. Good to see you are doing fine and feeling great. Have a great day

[@girlnorthof60]

Well, that answered all of my questions. Don't you just love that 5 mins of thudding sounds, while clods of mud fly everywhere, leaving the field- onto pavement?

[@suehall3298]

Keep smiling 😃👍🤗 🍻🍰☕ Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@annettesharrock1236]

BUSY Busy Phil

[@ruthrobathan77]

Tedious not having a drive. My friend couldn't leave her farm by the usual route for 6 months as they took the bridge across the old A30 away & didn't open the new one (across the new new A30) in good time. She had to drive part of the way along her lane & then along a bridleway. Her mum (who's in her 90s) lives just the other side of the bridge... nowhere near ideal. I mention the roads as Phil should know them!

[@AlpacaMade]

Good to hear from you, carry on, we'll be around😉👍

[@mavep2855]

It never rains but it pours! Hard to believe that summer is gone and fall has arrived, at least that is what it is like here in Ontario Canada. Good luck with the clear up! 🇨🇦😘

[@lyndaward5179]

Thank goodness you and the neighbours are informing the workers as much as possible about the designs of the waterways. I dread to think what the council in England would do on that job. Can we see lightning soon or is it too upsetting for him with so many people around bye for now from Lynda 😊

[@merrileeheard3889]

While it's certainly not ideal, you DO have an "escape" route and have new water pipes is a plus. BTW really well designed roof for the stage, well done.

[@katherineleavitt7275]

Philip, you definitely are a busy man. I admire you for being a steward to protect history when it comes to the water way by the moat and Chateau. Hope they can get everything done before the cold weather & rain starts in. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

[@margaretsavidge7052]

Ryan? his name is Philip, Phil for short

[@katherineleavitt7275]

You are correct, I got confused for a minute, our grandsons name is Ryan.

[@MildredClareDonlan]

I would go stir crazy if I couldn’t out of the house when I needed to.

[@dorinclarisa2732]

We have had road works here for month's. Electric supply to god knows where. It starts outside my villa, barriers the length of the road. Earth movers, hammer drills. Trenches everywhere. Hang in there phil, it will stop soon. I was blocked in by a trench one side a barrier the other. I got them to let me out and back in. 😂😂😂😂 Best wishes

[@hollyhayward956]

You’ve probably thought of this, but you could colour code the joints of your roof structure to help putting it back together in the future. Also makes it easier for people helping you put it up.

[@nancyweems5270]

Well done for the stage cover

[@janeharris6925]

Dry shiny red van! Cool !

[@sandrajones633]

Phil. I'm sure it will be better after all the water works

[@msilas5577]

Interesting video Phil. Thank you

[@tygerhardy]

Good for you trying to save an artefact.

[@jeandrumm5025]

Glad to see you and the chateau! Hope the work is finished very soon!

[@raynonabohrer5624]

You can get through this. You're a strong man. Where's your dog.???😢

[@daynight4902]

BEST

[@juliemix3373]

Phil, too, too crummy about being stuck at home, when there are so many things to get cleared up. It was neat to watch the bandstand being taken down. So great that it will fit on the trailer. Keep us posted. Cheers

[@peterwhite9261]

It is great that you are there to guide the workers from destroying ancient archways. It is sad to see the road torn up but it will be better to have the newer system. I hope they will fix your road for you. It may be manageable while it is dry, but when it rains, I imagine you are stuck there. Best wishes, Phil.❤

[@smgreenartsprivate]

Some other chateaus have had road works burying electricity cables or other ground work and such to the extent of ground damage like Colombe and Montmagner so make sure they don't do the same to you Phil. Glad you have some extra hands to make taking the event down much easier and safer. A shame you don't have your own shed available to store on the property. Interesting seeing another side of your area than we have seen already your other neighbours :) Maybe stay at Billy's or the convent with Lightning until they are done so you can help out there and they can return the favour later on someday ;)

[@MK-Farm-Michigan]

Your driveway is quite long. Very nice for privacy.

[@gaelenecole4053]

Poop 💩 about the driveway … I would surely die… if I couldn’t get out of my driveway !! 😂 but in the end you will have nice pipes and clean water again ❤❤❤

[@1MartinWaite]

What ever time they came to replace the water pipe it would have been the wrong time because they seem to sense it.😂😂😂😂😂

[@rayhopkins4425]

If possible, park your vehicle past the construction bottleneck and walk back and forth to your home.

[@helenhelps9619]

👏👏

[@nelleg152]

Always something going on to keep you busy ❤

[@marionryan582]

👍🤩

[@SherrylSmart]

Have you looked at Weedoo boats for your moat?

[@mariagillinson8527]

PHIL that’s not safe what if you have any emergency geez!

[@TomTomicMic]

He drives down the field, being without water because the pipes corrode is no fun either!?!

[@kayethiel9912]

Is the field part of your property Phil ?

[@coby6417]

🌟👏👍🍀💐

[@aislingmaguire3725]

Great opportunity to use the electric bike, if you feel like you have cabin fever.

[@AtlantaGarden]

Can you get out with your electric bike? Doesn't help moving the party stuff, but you wouldn't be completely trapped.

[@janeharris6925]

Remind me why the chateau was built on the island?

[@johnbrennan9584]

Why no floating water fountain in the moat?

[@dennispatrick4999]

Hardest working Chateau owner!!

[@karenmorrison8112]

Where is Lightning these day?

[@mariagillinson8527]

PHIL but I’m sure they come up against all this all the time. They just go through it to get the job done.

[@hayatwy]

Question , Is the chateau haunted ? Some chateau owners say there's are so I was curious

[@monicanagel3160]

Now the plastic sheets are wet you should of put it under the stage

[@Wren_01]

I’m first here Phil… what’s going on then? :))

[@Cquinn70]

mate do property for sale in your region or potential renovation property to help grow your channel

[@mariagillinson8527]

They gave the whole riad out blocked?

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Home bound? Paint the stage.

[@user-xo4qy7th6i]

I would not have returned the chairs dirty. They were not dirty when you borrowed them

[@taniadevilliers348]

What is missing in your life that your ego needs to be superior in this manner. Live and let live.

[@grannyrosie1]

Billy explained in his blog. They are friends and knew Phil lots to do and he had extra hands. So stay on board. And as Grandmaw always said" if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. "

[@beckytalhelm6415]

⁠agreed-Billy and Phil communicated and worked with the help they had to make this transition and delivery happen.

[@TomTomicMic]

Phil has helped Billy out in the past, and it ensures he gets rid of the chairs in the quickest time rather than putting them to one side and another job to do, he needs a Gardner/ Odd jobber next season!?!

[@nigelbullock9039]

Well that was interesting.....!

[@jenniferjones3408]

NOW THAT YOU ARE STUCK AT HOME, YOU CAN GET A BUNCH OF JOBS DONE AROUND AND IN THE HOUSE.

[@margaretsavidge7052]

Phil needs to get the outside work done before winter comes but needs road access for the dump site ect, inside jobs can be done over winter. Phil I know how frustrating it is.

[@TomTomicMic]

Yes it's a pain but it needs to be done, it's only a couple of weeks and he knew it was occurring, he should concentrate on the other jobs he can do so when they are complete he can carry on putting them away. If you have 101 jobs to do you don't dwell on the ones you can't do, you do the ones you can do and reduce the numbers!?!
