The Catastrophic Mess Making Continues - Chateau Life 🏰 EP 381

[@lindamitman4538]

Love that you got the metal sheet right away. Billy is a great friend to you as you are to him. Great friends are hard to come by. It’s special.

[@carladejonge4951]

You have been busy! I admire your”can do” attitude, Phil! So glad Billy is there for you! What a great friend he is!

[@kaye-q1k]

Good friends are always there for each other . You have made a really good rule.

[@annettesharrock1236]

The metal may have cost you a bit but at least you know now it will do the trick and you will be able to use the trailer when ever Phil😁

[@johannaraisch4051]

Making great progress! Take good care of you and enjoy your beautiful weather and weekend ❤

[@wenDesigner]

If you can get your hands on citronella oil, add it to your vinegar weed killer, it will smell lemony and keep mosquitos and flies away too. 😊❤

[@bevmc5061]

Wherever there is standing water, ie moat, mosquitoes will always be there.

[@kimentwistle3491]

I’ve tried that doesn’t work on my mosquitoes and flies….I’m in Australia….they must be extraordinarily ones here. 🤣😂🇦🇺👍🏻

[@donnablake5358]

Hey Phil. Just wanted to tell you it was nice meeting you a week or so ago. I felt bad when I left as I forgot to tell you that you have a beautiful chateau and I’m so happy you continue to live there and share the chateau with all us subscribers.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

One can only wonder how many trees will fall during the coming winter storms. You'll have piles of firewood everywhere. For now you're making great progress. Grounds look nice! 👍👍👍

[@thewilliamseswonderfulworld]

Those huge trees are massive. Glad you’re getting help with them. Great job tackling all the grounds.

[@janetkennedy5940]

Well done, really good progress this week, especially that big tree. I like when the Chateau owners take us on a small road trip through the French countryside and small towns.

[@Wren_01]

Made sense fixing that trailer good and proper. World changes happening Phil. Outcome will be good :) 💙

[@krisgalusha9820]

In the camping area, make a stack with all the wood you don’t need for the house and the campers will use it up. Also you won’t have to transport wood to far. You probably already thought of that.

[@mbuonato]

Those trees are massive. Even with a chainsaw that must have a long job. It is amazing how a wood chipper can easily compact all the branches

[@mavep2855]

A stitch in time, saves nine! The trailer bed repair will be a very positive step forward. You’ve got momentum going now Phil. As Billy would say “crack on” 🇨🇦🙏❤️

[@Mej_Javiky]

I applaud your resolve to do a ob right the first time and not just on the cheap to get by in the moment. Been there and done that, and always regret it.

[@sallyward5937]

Great mentality, Phil! The temporary fixes add up to more, in the end, than one big fix. 😁🇺🇸

[@suehall3298]

Steel for the trailer nice one 🤗👍 keep up the good work & you will nail it 🤗👍🍻🍦 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@mjecheverria4197]

Have a nice weekend Phil.😊

[@katiemac5661]

If you have a fire pit anywhere, or even just in the camping area, some of those logs could be put around it for extra seating.

[@HensOnly]

A campground would not be complete without a fire pit!!! Phil can stack wood somewhere on the outside perimeter of the campground so one can take as much wood to burn in the firepit. I love that idea of having a campground for visitors! Next thing you know Phil might rig up a homemade outhouse (hole in the ground, if that is allowed in France) so the campers do not have to go into the chateau for bathrooms.

[@daynight4902]

BEST WISHES TO YOU

[@LindaNichols-wf4lq]

Hydrate Phil your summer showed up! Well Done!

[@PurpleLovesArt]

Great to see you again 😊

[@donnalewis4895]

Playing catch up is rough. One step at a time and eventually you will get stuff done.😊

[@AlpacaMade]

I love this philosophy; no more temporary fixes. Job done properly, job done.👏😊

[@christyd2921]

I think you have the right idea. Yes it's more expensive up front but your time is worth money too. Do it once and it will last a long time versus having to spend a day or two every year patching when you need to use that bit that day.

[@lhmcd5538]

You have been working hard Phil. Don’t put yourself down please. Great work. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

I like the way you’re thinking ahead. It’s too bad you don’t have a place to store your equipment under cover on the property. But you are making great strides. Be safe and well.

[@TLMarzewski]

A little mess always happens before the all put together and looking wonderful part! 😊

[@SweetOne.]

Well done!

[@kimbevan5614]

Good plan, sort things out properly as you go along. Especially with something like the trailer,that will be worth its weight in gold for years to come. Take care K🇬🇧❤️

[@scoobysnacks]

That's the problem I have with the homemade weed killer, you have to spray it constantly. I'm not a fan of chemicals but I also don't have the time to spray for weeds 10-20 times a season. So I use the commercial weed killers and spray once, maybe twice per season. But I also don't' have a moat around my house and have to worry about the chemicals killing off the fish. What ever happened with those nutria (sp.) things? I haven't' seen them mentioned for a while so di I miss a video where you were able to finally get rid of them or are they still there?

[@cynhanrahan4012]

Looks like you have made huge progress in the garden, and being able to keep up the momentum.

[@JennyA1961]

Good thinking. Do it right and do it once. ❤🐨

[@merrileeheard3889]

Do it right the first time is really smart!!

[@jeojeo9393]

Is the workshop yours as well ?

[@sofiebribiesca6678]

Temporary fixes never last long enough and what's the point. Really, it isn't a good use of our valuable time. Glad you seem to be more organised with your mind. ;-) Love your work. Feel proud at how much you can do on your own. Makes me remember when was young. But, my aches and pains will not deter me from my jobs. I like getting old too. go for gold Phil!

[@DelphineMcNamara-px8zb]

Every video you talk about what’s got to be done, what’s broken and needs to be fixed. You seem to be going around in circles and not achieving your goals. Love to see you concentrate on one project, finish it then move onto the next. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with all the tasks needing attention. You’re only one person, hang in there and one by one you’ll see results.

[@ChateauLife]

Unfortunately with so much to do and you have to work to others schedules (people being free, parts deliveries, weather) that is what happens; it isn’t neat and easy and you juggle a lot The difference is if it all comes together at the end, not if it was neat and easy on the way!

[@judithcarroll3206]

Hi Phil love the new rule! Follow it ❤ The steel plate will pay you back ten fold. Didn’t realise that no mans land was the camping ground, it has a lot of potential. Wild flower garden comes to mind, little to no maintenance, just one path to walk through 🌺 Any luck with the paint websites I sent? Good luck with breaking down the tree and be safe. Cheers Judith 🦋

[@nelleg152]

Busy busy busy ❤

[@Berrus81]

I said it before but if it was my chateau, I would have built, or would build an overhang from the wall where the bar is to about 4 or 5 meters deep. Gives a lot of shade, no weeds will grow there and …..just a nice place to sit and relax

[@lyndaward5179]

Trailer Phil speeding through the night and the day magnificent, ground is cleared. YOYO 🎉 best wishes from Lynda ❤

[@peterwhite9261]

The steel sheet will work well in your wagon.

[@pamelawright1369]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@Fillup1957]

Love your work ethic of taking care of business at the chateau. It takes time to figure how to sort and prioritize things that need to be done. I too run into the same problem of repairing equipment just to get a task done. Love the idea of turning the old horse trailer into a mobile bar. A KZbinr I follow had done the same thing. He had major work in stabilizing it before customizing it. His channel is called Woodness Goodness. His completed project turned out swimmingly.

[@juliemix3373]

Phil, great that the steel sheet was easily got. You are progressing. It's a lot to take on, but it will happen. Cheers

[@gregbolitho9775]

Geez m8, Normandys a nice necka da woods! Arvo Phil! I like the way your thinking. Keep up the good work and stay vertical Eh!

[@kgar67]

Great video...thanks for sharing.

[@charmees6637]

Glad Billy’s around for you

[@katherinegeddie7687]

I'm so glad you are fixing the trailer so it will not give you trouble in the long range. I'm glad Billy is lending you his wood chipper. This is going to really help! Please drink plenty of water in this heat 🥵 and try to get as much of the heavy outdoor work as possible done in the cooler hours 😎 👍! Sorry that I sound like an old lady...I am one!

[@Shae_9876]

You can clearly see and understand how this majestic places become rundown/ruins without money and hired help... so much work to be done.

[@annhardesty1696]

Keep at it!

[@wandacasper5612]

Have u thought about hiring someone part time to help with the yard? ❤❤❤

[@SusieMonk-jh8tj]

Lots of chips to go with the vinegar, yum yum. Great progress and good thoughts. Your weed killer recipe works so well, Thankyou ..my husband doesn’t like the smell either tant pis🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏

[@Robin-xr2tz]

Wow Phil you engaged the after burners. Busy man!!

[@lindagage7315]

Holy cow, when do you get time to do anything, good on you for sticking it out! You need a smaller place! You have alot of patients! Well done

[@joannemacintyre251]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@msilas5577]

It’s best to go shopping at home first… you often have the very thing you want.

[@GeneneCroy]

Crack On! Party Time just around the corner! Have a great time with Music, Dancing, Food, FUN and most of all FRIENDS!! Loving Life! ❤️🎉🎉

[@lucindalechleider4197]

How will water drain out of your new trailer bed?

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

❣️

[@suemccoy7533]

Happy Weekend. You seem to be the busiest human ever. Never slowing down trying to be ready for the big party. Crack On!😊

[@marionryan582]

👍🤩

[@lindatoon6714]

What happened to Phil dog

[@supremlyfoxylass]

The big thing I’ve noticed is most of your things are always broken or in need of constant repair. Something isn’t right with that.

[@coby6417]

🌟👏👍🍀💐

[@patriciahawkes386]

Instead of using weed killer u can use boiling water to get rid of weeds

[@monicanagel3160]

If you pick up sand just lay down ground sheet

[@catherinestannett6089]

Hi where is your dog..?

[@HensOnly]

Probably in the house lol.

[@helenhelps9619]

[@seamoonsees]

lookin busy

[@cindybanks6844]

👍

[@monicanagel3160]

Why don’t you put down a steel mesh then all the rain you get won’t damage it again

[@seamoonsees]

Hire all the yard mowing, cutting, getting rid of...out...and film the people doing the work...and it's done..and you have content.

[@karenmorrison8112]

You onto it Phil. Maybe borrow Billy, s truck, for the tip.

[@Helen-l3i]

I agree to the rule when repairing anything to do it to the highest standard and then you will not be constantly refixing and without the service of equipment, might cost more but very well worth it.

[@jimhirst]

Looks as if you are on top of things.

[@leetawitham7099]

Seriously?????

[@korrinawhitworth7032]

You seem to be 1 step forward and 10 steps back. I hate to be the person speaking the truth but a chateau is too big for one person. I know you love the property but you don’t have the money or man power to do the old girl justice. You would be better off finding a lovely cabin on a lake and living a care free life rather than always chasing your tail. So a win for you and a win for the chateau.

[@gioiapharo7433]

Speaking for myself ….I have seen people struggle to maintain a 1 bedroom condo ……. I think Phill understands his life ……. I support his work to be a 1 man property owner big or small ….. its his life and love and we are along for the ride

[@mariagounari844]

Bla,bla,bla,bla,bla ....in all your videos...nothing essential,no point of seeing you.

Rude! Don’t watch then!

Excuse me! You don’t have any reason to be Rude! Your ‘channel’ has no content therefore no credibility so don’t watch 😡 Karma comes round you know

However you watch and leave a comment which only helps me; thanks x
