Having that lift and better tools makes such a a difference

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Yes, I told him to get a lift a year ago... and do the staircase and get a rubbish chute. They should have been some of the first things to go in. He's really seeing the benefit now!

[@trentgay3437]

Experience as well. I do things nice, because I did them twice.😅

[@markschattefor6997]

Once you have experienced how it is to work with professional tools/machines there is no way back.

[@silva7493]

I bet when this is finished, and with all of the tools, experience and know how, he must find another ruined chateau.

[@donmorrow1923]

@@isobelkirk6602 I’m not sure but I don’t believe he had the funds to be buying much or possibly interest from manufacturers to donate some of this equipment. Regardless whatever they can get to make the job run more smoothly he’s trying to bring in, including that new stronger winch a few months ago.

[@pamelahaskell809]

I will never get tired of seeing those arial shots of the top of the Chateau. WOW! Also an arial shot of the grounds surrounding the Chateau looking much cleaner too and all the trees. I can see your vision of why you wanted to buy and reno this Chateau hidden in the trees. I'm glad to be a part of your journey and looking forward to what's to come.

[@Klapulla0108]

I don't think he would have put the effort into the garden if planning to flip, or do the roof in the historic manner. Those are both long-term moves.

Bless you Daniel from an old great grand Ma ❤❤❤

Super fan here. Have just been through hurricane Beryl. Lots of damage, still no power and not for a few days. No propane, gas is hard to come by. Found some gas, after waiting in line for hours. Am sitting at a parking lot in my cold car, catching up on Dan’s videos.🥰😊😉A few days without 🤢🤢🤢 The roof is halfway done ?! 👍👍👍👍👍 Am feeling like Dan when he started without power and limited water. He made it and so will we. We are testing if the sun will fry our eggs 😂 Got to keep the kids entertained. We are showering under the garden hose and are sleeping with wet towels over us to battle the extreme heat. Almost feels like chateau life. When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. We are safe, everything else will fall into place.

[@nancylagoyda5337]

Just love to watch how fast this is coming together! I hope you’re going to live there when it’s done. I know you could make a lot of money selling it but, it won’t be the same as watching you enjoying all your work! Not to mention the beautiful garden.

[@LaReynedEpee]

It's not easy selling property in France. A similar building in pristine condition can take years to sell, and for a lot less than in other countries. I suspect it could be very difficult to shift, for a number of reasons. Unless another Dan comes along.

[@Skattie]

I dont think or can’t imagine Dan selling it, he is emotionally invested big time

[@halvarf]

I hope he puts in a lift from the basement to the roof so he can still live there in his old age.

[@simonemeyer6416]

@@LaReynedEpee Dan definitely wants to live in it, he said that several times in previous videos but mainly he wants to make a place for children again as it was in the past. Not as a refuge but as a sort of summer camp for disadvantaged kids to have some holiday adventures... hence the large car park... he wants to give back to the community.

[@LaReynedEpee]

@@simonemeyer6416 I know that. I'm pointing out to the OP that selling the property in the French market could be challenging and might not make much money.

[@jampuppy]

I hope you know we feel how big a deal this is. Really every step is a big deal cause no one else would have taken this on - especially doing so much solo. You get an applause from Michigan with every video and I would wager from everyone watching.

[@coolcpa3321]

The roofline on the wings creates shoulders. The peaked roof over the center is the head. What an amazing visage the chateau possesses.

[@RobertHornaday]

But it looks so incomplete without the dormer window framing. What a shame that he’ll have to back up and retrofit these windows because he didn’t take the time to frame them in as he built the roof.

France is very lucky to be so beautiful, therefore attracting mad Brits (and some others - but Brits are pretty prominent) who are willing to sink blood, sweat, tears and money into renovating French houses, mansions, chateaux, etc.

[@LaReynedEpee]

Part of the attraction is that property can be so cheap compared to the UK. A building on this scale would be completely unattainable for most of us here.
