Finishing the roof hips.

[@sushirules]

Thank you, Nick, for making Dan wear a safety harness which he didn't yesterday for the 'test' corner. Life is too precious.

[@Padoinky]

Safety is seemingly always an afterthought until someone gets injured

[@bethfereday1146]

You are the best Nick!!!

[@rsinuk9697]

Seeing Nick horizontal between trees was quite awe inspiring. In his true habitat (that and the big digger!). Enjoy your weekend guys.

[@hitiming]

Luv watching Nick doing his thing. He is a master tree surgeon.

[@reladie]

Nick my hero, 💗💗

[@avivat3010]

I had no idea that you have a wall around (some?) of your property, Dan. This new garden sounds like it's going to be a real treasure. You, Nick and Brian are an amazing group of friends. Enjoy your weekend, guys and see you on Monday. Happy trails! Thank you for letting us watch.

[@fw1421]

By God,Nick is the MAN!!! Is there anything he can’t do?👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

I look at Nick now and see a Viking❤❤👌👌 Lovelyto see him back 8n his element scaring me silly up the tree. Now a mega digger and planting to look forward to. Pure Magic Dan and Nick👏👏👌👌❤❤

[@sophiezieba9705]

Me too.

[@ellenmadsen7308]

I like the gardening bits almost as much as the noggining bits.

[@flutter1woodcraft]

Ahhh, noggins. Those were the days 😂

[@firstname8637]

Yeah, I was almost a bit surpeised by how much I enjoyed the "distraction" from the roof. I guess it's nice for everyone to have a bit of variety from all the woodworking and roofing that has been happening over the last months.

[@ornleifs]

Love that you have started to include more footage of the dogs.

Great progress AND NO RAIN which seems miraculous.

Another fantastic video of exceptional skillful men tackling an enormous project, achieving beautiful results while having a few laughs. Perfect!

[@RobertHornaday]

Dan is in his element/comfort zone doing landscaping work. This is where he really excels. You can see the excitement in his eyes and hear it in his voice. Creating this secret garden enclosed by espaliered fruit trees is closer to his real passion. He is willing to put aside finishing the roof even though winter is coming in order to undertake this massive installation of 1400 plants.

[@katehobbs2008]

He said quite a while ago that he is too old now to be climbing trees all the time, he was looking to pass that trade on to another.

[@KABITH0888]

Nick in his element. ❤❤

It is always great to see the Viking having fun. I can’t wait to see next week’s projects. 👏👏

[@kerrinyates5259]

The amount of thinking and planning before actually cutting down those trees doesn’t go unnoticed. Nick is so good at his craft.

Nick is a master tree surgeon. I'm so glad you are nearly finished with the roof.

Nick is simply treemendous

It’s wonderful to see Nick flying in the sky again!

[@elizabethstreeter2145]

It is looking fantastic the whole place, I love the sound of the garden and you are giving nick lots of work that he seems to be enjoying and your audience is loving every minute even the dogs thankyou Dan for all the time you are taking to record and edit your videos

Oh dear Lord, ill be so glad when this tower is finished ! I got knots in my stomache watching the process !

I'm right there with you Judy... Every time they show the ground from where they are, I get queasy... I do not do heights.

Me too, it triggers my vertigo.

[@twvea]

Why Brian says he doesn't mind heights astonishes me. My palms sweat watching.

[@CherylAnderson0]

I feel the same way!

[@robertmdaniels]

Seeing Nick with the harness on swinging around, reminds me to Tarzan swinging from vines! Trusting that everything is going to hold and be safe. I was still holding my breath!

[@annettesharrock1236]

Nice job as usual with the ace tree cutter Nick , The planting going to good,. See you Monday for the next stage of the roof and Planting. Have a good weekend Dan. Loved watching , see yer Monday❤

[@jodiebaines]

Nick’s ‘cut it’ ‘catch it’ manoeuvre was cool 😎

[@dannetterousseau4095]

thought the same - yelled out at the screen "great catch'!

[@Cheshyrgrin]

Having watched since the beginning, knowing that there were once NO FLOORS AT ALL, it's always cool to see them walking into rooms that didn't used to exist!❤

[@susandreiling6765]

We always look forward to the updates. I do miss the colored beards this year. They always cracked me up🥰

[@lindagage7315]

Good variety! Nick is happy! Well done both of You!

[@Winterfell1066]

I am just so excited about this project. I am always waiting for the next episode to drop. I can't wait for the roof to be finished and the slate on so that the interior can be started.

[@janetmorris4661]

Wow Nick you’re amazing today doing all the tree work and then on the ropes on the roof.

[@juliepye8549]

It's exciting, as always. There is so much happening both on the chateau and in the grounds. Love the variety! ❤

Things are coming along on that rooftop. I tell you I could watch hours of Nick out there in the woods!

[@russellstockford9685]

As an old Project Manager, my ADHT is screaming!! I think this is fantastic, my daily dose of lunacy and fun. How I miss the old days. Hahaha😜🤪🤣

[@gaius_enceladus]

Nick the Viking! Sagas will be written and tales will be told of how Nick the Grey did battle with the mighty trees of Chaumont, armed with his mighty battle-axe - um - chainsaw - and how he emerged battle-scarred but victorious!

[@marvincarter870]

Nick is great at cutting the trees and working on the roof and so glad its coming to an end on the turret! Love the dogs milling around the Chateau.

[@nativetexson]

Every aspect of the restoration is intriguing.

[@TheSchkings]

Whew, the top of that tree coming down was a bit scary. Love the girls watching you, waiting for the signal to go!

[@jasonfitzpatrick414]

Ya know, y'all could turn the swimming pool, or the area you cleared, into an English walled garden with a little work. Keep up the fun work! I hope the weather stays nice for a while. Here in the SE United States, we are having an extended autumn. Sunny and warm.

[@donmorrow1923]

You two have accomplished a lot, and more to come on the new garden. Nick is so skilled at his tree surgery and knows his stuff. As you said, a little more to do on the roof, and it will all be secured ready for the slate tiles…next year?

[@sillashaw]

Truly looking forward to the new garden and the tower being finished. I’ve enjoyed every video along the way. How far it’s all came! Dan you and your workers are pure inspiration.

[@gloriaa5060]

I think the angels was looking out for Nick when that tree fail. 😮 thumbs up to this video and all the videos!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎆

[@Chestnut442]

In tree felling we call those "widow-makers". It was a set-up with good intentions but turned out to be a clear example of surprises - sometimes deadly - that can occur. A tree trunk can appear solid all the way up, but on occasion interior rot occurs that shows no outwardly sign at all - until this happens.

[@LindaNichols-wf4lq]

Thank you - tree whisperer!

[@lindamitman4538]

Nick is the master of felling trees. Looking forward to him on the big digger!

[@suzannehicks5856]

Nick is amazing. All that skill and lived experience.

[@mhale-mi9iy]

Love the plan for the pool area! U guys are so brave climbing up high. I try not to look down when watching u.

[@cherylcook6284]

Scrap the swimming pool. Get a large cattle trough to cool off in. This is a huge property and will have lots of maintenance and expense issues. A pool is a lot of work and money! Everyone I have known who put swimming pool in ended up digging the pool back out. Plus, Nick's children are small. Nobody can watch little children and all of their friends adequately. Drowning in swimming pools is a number one killer for children. Keep your money in your pocket.

[@carolinehops]

@@cherylcook6284I’m not a lover of pools either,and if they build one,they certainly need a fence and locked gate around it .

[@yipnpaulshelpweboughtavillage]

Just amazing! really inspirational, we’ve bought an ancient French village that has been sat abandoned for 30 years in the heart of Normandy, gaining inspiration from your vlogs and hoping ours will inspire people too. Thanks so much 🙏🏼🥳🥰 Y + P

Wow, really scary with the tree who cracked above the cutline ! But as long no one is hurt, four or two feet. Close the eyes and go watching as soon as possible.

[@drjmedders7095]

Nick is a PHENOM!

[@smac4565]

Not sure why Nick talked about it was getting harder for him to climb those trees. He sure made it look easier than hanging off the top of a chateau. The main difference I saw was him trading a chainsaw for a nail gun.

[@MUDBOYIAM]

Maybe he meant daily climbing for 8 hours or more. That has to take a toll on the body.

[@cindya.esquivel6876]

Good morning 🌞 actually late afternoon here. But I never miss an episode 😊

[@eleidal]

I think it'd be very cool to use the poplar wood to build a gazebo out back in the new garden area. But I don't know much about wood types and whether it's a good idea on that front. Just seems like you've got quite a set-up for turning timber into usable planks and 2x4s... great show, it's really coming along nicely!!

[@ChazzyB-2024]

Another glorious episode where Dan and Nick do their best to frighten us to death with their feats of dareing-do. And the sun is shining! I was watching the bats flitting in and around our church the other evening, they really do look spectacular, if a bit messy. Those hips look like they might make an ideal bat hang out, if you can seal off the insides properly from the rest of the roof structure. The bats would look great flitting about the tower and roofs, and are great at insect control. Or maybe an owl roost?

[@DAH-ss1nu]

Hey Nick; I've been using 8 braid nylon boat anchor line to tension my trees. Nylon anchor line has a LOT of stretch in it and it acts like a giant rubber band so when the tree breaks instead of the line going slack the rope keeps pulling on it as it moves and really helps guide the tree to exactly where I want it. It really helps with trees that you're unsure of what their balance is and makes for a much safer fall.

[@thomasw.eggers4303]

Nylon rope story: Back 7 decades ago, when I was a teenager, I tried using a nylon waterski towrope. The problems were (1) Lean into the rope for a fast turn, nylon stretches, down you go, and (2) When starting, the rope stretches, the skier falls and lets go, the rope handle flies forward into the boat (on one occasion, the boat driver caught the handle).

[@alicekenworthy9603]

Love how you are opening up that area Dan… 👍 The slow-mo shot of Nick cutting down the tree … brilliant !! Reminded me of when he did all those dangerous trees … he truly is THE “tree whisperer” Enjoy the weekend 😎… see you at the “office” on Monday ! Durban SA🇿🇦
