I'll be so curious to see how the gaps between the four current roofs get connected and filled. It's all coming together so fast now but that's a lot of space with a lot of different angles and planes to marry up. Hope the weather holds itself back for a few weeks.

Hi -great work. The septique -a couple of comments. French environment regs have been upgraded around septiques and there is a periodic inspection. It might be worth speaking to the 'Commune' and get it checked/reported on. If work needs doing to upgrade it -move it further away from the Chateau -they whiff in the summer, and extend the dirtywater run offs. Whilst you have the machinery and before you do the outside works -it would make sense.

[@edhencher780]

A clean worksite is a safer worksite

[@CAK-m8q]

My builder used to say that a “Tidy site is a happy site” too - certainly made me happier.

[@tedgalperalper1828]

Your tour of the site is a demonstration of incredible motivation, and workmanship. Your commitment to this project is incredible.

[@stevenkaskus6173]

I saw from the drone video that two of your wrapped roofs aren't water tight with the wrapp flopping in the wind and one blown to the side af the top revealing the bare Plywood. Hope you get those fixed and the turret roof wrapped and windows installed before next rain.

[@avivat3010]

I hope you're keeping the stones separated somewhere so that you can use them when it comes time to patch whatever needs them. The clean-up looks great. I love that you all laugh together. Looking forward to the action on Monday. Have a great well-deserved rest until then.

[@jacquelynhollinger4006]

Neat and tidy for Mondays tasks on the roof. Have a beautiful weekend, guys..

It’s looking fantastic Dan. Remembering how it was when you first started, and looking at it now with all the work you’ve done, you should be busting with pride. You deserve some kind of medal for what you’ve done so far. ❤

[@donnaclark4479]

The chateau and grounds are looking beyond amazing 🤩 just a phenomenal achievement 🤩

[@herdpm1]

Wow... just amazed how much restoration has taken place. When I first came upon this series I thought, " why didn't Dan pick a similar property in better shape?" I kind of get it now... this house and surroundings are really something. Well done!

[@educatortrainer6605]

Also because it was less ($$$) costly.

[@westmus]

This was surely an economical possible project for Dan, by having an low initial cost. The money needed for the restoration are afterwards generated by the videos.

[@girlnorthof60]

So nice to watch, I smiled the entire time. Thanks guys. Cheers to the weekend, everyone. ☕

[@ronaldhorton2438]

Finally, the chateau resembles the old photos before the fire. You must be overjoyed, even though you must be about halfway through the whole project. Amazing results, with the three of you making up an amazing team.❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

Chateau de Chaumont is looking spiffy!! Will you add Christmas lights for the holidays? Just learned that the chateau is in the town of La Serre-Bussière-Vieille which translates to the old greenhouse!! ... how apropos then are the lovely gardens you are creating w/ the help of Davey and of course Nick!! We love watching the energy, enthusiasm, determination and creativity of your work and watch daily from the San Francisco Bay Area, California

[@dennispatrick4999]

@peterfrance702 I truly don't understand his need for the orchard over waterproofing the Turret and getting this Chateau Roof done.

[@peterfrance702]

@@dennispatrick4999 Logistics I guess. Maybe he is waiting for materials? If he has ordered plants then he must get them into the ground asap after they arrive - he must have the ground prepared before planting. Who knows?

[@chaws314]

@@peterfrance702 Getting all of the roofing material up on the roof is also probably going to require the ground area to be clear of debris.

A skid steer would make quick work out of the debris pick up - moreover, the weekly tidy-up would prevent a big scale clean up from having to be done

From the looks you need to pop down some cap nails to hold that roof paper down. Looks like it's getting more and more damaged.

LOVE the soul and Motown music! It cheers up a short almost-winter day and long night. Thanks to the firm that supplied your tools. And to the channel viewers who enable you to use the big construction equipment. I remember when you had a shovel, bucket, unsteady ladder, and leaf blower to handle cleanup - on your own.

[@StreetTruckinTitan]

No time like the present to watertight the turret. Winter is coming. Stop playing in the dirt!

[@xantishayde-walker4593]

[@richardgabel33]

Guys, this is one of the more interesting projects on KZbin. While it is fun to watch, I have some questions. What is the end use for this property ? Why are you fooling around with such a small crew when so much more could be accomplished with proper project management? At the rate you are going you will be too old to enjoy this place. If you plan on using it yourself, put in a proper elevator or two. Winter is coming and you guys go off on a mountain trip then waste good weather messing around outside. Get a contractor to come in and work while you get the structure water tight. Cover all openings and make provisions for heat. A house of this size could have multiple crews working in separate rooms not to mention you need all mechanical work done. No matter what you do, stay safe.

Been watching from the start, have years of repairing, replace, restore on a way more modest scale. If you haven’t done work like this, you probably get cranky if you are focusing on one aspect of chateau ing. There are priorities you may not understand. Open septic, pretty compelling, clearing ground for plants that must get in the ground essential. Available equipment, ditto. Sometimes I feel like I’m in an overly large car with kids in the back seat…

amazing progress as usual!! there are 2 things that i am really interested in: firstly: how do you plan on joining the roofs in the center? 🤔 and secondly: do you have some kind of birds eye view of the whole area for us? so we can see the chateau, the driveway, the pool, all the garden work, the yurt, etc. in relation to each other this would be very cool to see keep it up, i am looking forward to your vids every evening 😊❤
