The Chateau Window Falls Out.

[@priscillajones623]

Did I mis-read. I saw the title Chateau Windows Fall out. So here I am waiting for disaster to strike (even some of the music leant to the suspense). Then nothing. No disaster! Just really nice windows. Lol

[@Siennaflower]

I read this entire comment section to find out what was behind the title!! Turns out, Terry & Ash forgot to tell the story that didn't get filmed. But I understand. Posting three videos a week is a lot, and things fall through the cracks. Just glad to know there was a real story behind the title. ❤

[@nancibishof6462]

I can see why Terry wants to keep the original tiles in the kitchen area. They are charming. And that blue was tres cher when they were installed.

[@alexandra2jerry]

Those windows wouldn’t wouldn’t have lasted another winter! The new ones are simply stunning! Well Done. You couldn’t have spent your money on anything more worthwhile 💕👏💕👏💕

[@alwaysaheart1645]

What a difference new windows make xxx It must be so much warmer in the rooms x

[@suehall3298]

Congratulations to the Gentleman who made your Amazing Windows 🤗👍 great job everyone🤗👍🤗👍🤗👍 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Sue. Paddy is brilliant 😊😊

[@jackierice4254]

I should think Paddy is in great demand. His workmanship on those windows and the windows and doors at the convent, Is exceptional.

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Jackie. He is amazing 😊

[@bonniesteinke6624]

Is he the same Paddy who has been doing carpentry work for Billy Petherick?

[@iu.5146]

@@bonniesteinke6624I was wondering about that, too.

[@timeforturtles]

@@bonniesteinke6624I believe so, yes…

[@timeforturtles]

video was well done today ❤

[@greybirchfarm]

The arched top panes in the windows make a huge difference, they really do look grand compared to the flat top panes. It’s funny, seeing Ash standing in the window opening really drives home the size and scale of the place.

[@lisadurban3525]

Paddy is a real professional. Good job all.

[@deborahball2093]

Ash, I noticed you missed cementing an area on the outer side (your left as you look out). Congratulations to you all on the beautiful renovations to this historic building. You should be proud of all you have accomplished.

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Deborah

[@TinyBugg7042]

I saw that, too. Bet it’s a little awkward and hard to see from the angle inside but when you stand outside and look in, then you can see. But the windows and the stills are a HUGE improvement and makes the home feel cozy ❤

[@swede716]

That bothered me too! Glad he is aware of it& can finish that little bit.

[@33piolin]

Nice to know you have so many “Back-seat drivers!” It keeps you on your toes‼️😻

[@Jeannie.]

Be a shame to pay for those nice windows just to have them rot. Guardian angels watching out for your investment of time and money. I agree. I'd check all the windows again. That didn't look like a good seal to me either. I wonder if putting the cement in a bakers-type bag and squeezing it under the windows would work.

[@ginanoble7203]

Loved the finesse from window maker as he removed timber choc from corner of frame.His hands have done it many times.

[@gretchengosling7301]

Isn’t it something that there are still people around who have the skills to work on old structures! Love it!!!

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Gretchen 🥰🥰

[@drenelt]

Or the Love to bother...

[@donnastevenson6700]

Don’t realize how massive those windows are until you waved out. Great job guys! Hugs from NY

[@malagastehlaate230]

Those windows are a massive improvement... and you can see the professionalism from them... what a wonderful job done!

[@monicariske]

The new windoes sure look good!! Huge shoutout to the carpenter for his skill. I love how they arch like the stone.

[@dianac52176]

The way the new window frame matches the masonry is absolutely stunning. Well done all of you. Paddy does exceptional work.

[@girlnorthof60]

Just knowing that there won't be a repeat of you both running around mopping up water literally pouring in, towels everywhere, windows/doors propped closed like that one storm long ago (you should put a link to it) must be such a relief. What an incredible transformation. 😍 Pat xxxxx

[@angmacleod]

Great job on the windows guys! Love the fresh look it brings but also in line with the Chateau’s era!

[@arpiyeretsian8924]

Darlings it looks Fantastic!! Lots of hugs to all❤🐶🐶

[@francoisebekaert8137]

So glad you chose to put back nice arched window frames. Much more elegant and in keeping with the architect's original design. Looking great !! 👍🐶🎶💟

[@earthmama8384]

The new windows are gorgeous! What a transformation!!! Here’s an alternative idea: Cementing the window may be easier if (a) wide painters tape covers the newly painted wood bottom (inside & out) so as not to foul it with concrete, (b) place a clean board the length of the outside of the window, flush with the bottom & held in place with several clamps, and (c) use a bakers piping bag (with a large round metal tip in the end) and pipe the cement under the window. Once filled, a putty knife can be used to clean the excess & tape removed.

[@Lma8516]

I know he doesnt like to be the camera focus, but such a privilege to watch a master at work. ❤

[@ashleywaters7198]

He’s amazing! 😊😊

[@1921modelT]

Wow, what a massive difference the new windows make, especially with the cleaned stone walls. It looks like the clock has been magically wound back well over a hundred years! You are all amazing at what you do😊

[@peggystein3745]

The windows look fabulous well needed by the looks of the old ones. Expensive investment. God bless yall so happy for you! God bless love from texas 🇺🇸

[@AtlantaGarden]

The new windows make it look so polished. Well done! 👏👏👏

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@staciamartin923]

Since you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving on day we do it’s perfectly acceptable to decorate. It’s past Nov1. Here for decades it was day after Thanksgiving Nov25th the tree went up . Everything is lovely . Lots of Love going into the Property. That’s what gives it it’s true sparkle . ❤❤❤Love to Everyone

[@michelleconradie218]

The new windows are looking absolutely amazing. Carpentry at its best.

[@ashleywaters7198]

He’s a master of his craft 😊

[@MRHSD]

From a caravan to a chateau. Your family is amazing 👏

[@paulinelogan1400]

The windows look fabulous well done Paddy and Ash ❤

[@kennstransky]

It all looks so good. I Windex my windows tomorrow and re-install them tomorrow so long as it is not storming outside.

[@autodidactin]

It’s wonderful to see the new windows in with their lovely arched tops. So glad you are going to do all of them. Well done Dream Team and honorable member: Paddy.

[@tardismole]

"I've had underpants last longer than they have." That says it all. Beautiful work.

[@waynesmith3908]

You are all going to be Sooo much warmer now this Winter !! ❤ Taking a bath really will be a treat. Those windows were done just in the nick of time. They were falling apart had it.

[@brettkruempel244]

It’s great seeing the new windows go in. Nice to be ready for Winter. The chateau will be that much cozier come the coldest months. Thanks for the exterior shots. The old lady is looking grand. The locals must be excited. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen remodel.

[@margaretmaine-ve2id]

Y’all could make a decent green house with all the old windows.

[@kjb9911]

Ash, you are soooooo good at this video thing!!! It’s like watching a real television show!!!! You guys are doing beautiful work on the chateau and I look forward to each video to see the progress. Best part of my week!!

[@bobbiebrandel3152]

What craftsmanship. The windows are beautiful. What a difference!

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Bobbie 😊

[@clarefoskett9959]

The place is looking so magical, the view from the window as you opened it, looking out onto the trees....wow❤

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Each window is a monumental achievement. Kudos. Can’t wait for the awning things on either side of the tower. Your lovely home is coming to life once again.

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you Ellen. 😊😊

[@sherrylelee8274]

Oops! We aren’t supposed to talk anymore about the ‘awnings’ 🤫😂

[@hemlock4519]

The forbidden comment!!😹

[@ChristineKelly1000]

Don’t mention the ‘A’ word.😅😅😅

[@teepeeX]

What a very talnted man who makes these windows, knows exactly what needs to be done 😊

[@davidmerritt3995]

Hi, it's Michael here. You guys are terrific workers and you exhibit such skills and you keep adding more to your repertoire! I can see you in a new career as chateau restoration consultants! Any new chateau owners would be wise to get your advice. Be well !!

[@ashleywaters7198]

Haha. No thanks :) but thanks Michael 😊😊

[@gelsilicawalker3835]

So much talent in this family as whatever they turn out is always fantastic.

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@linshannon4480]

The new windows look fantastic, but they would have been oddly juxtaposed if you'd left the facade in all its aged glory. What a significant difference having these rooms protected from the weather will make, even if it's just noise reduction and waterproofing!

[@rosebudame]

🪟 Beautiful windows! 🪟

[@sammcturk8898]

When putting the cement in the cracks like that use a plastic bag like a cake piping bag much easier and tidder, just a little hint that might be easier ❤ So happy to see new windows 🎉

[@ferrodell2194]

OMG, sealing those new windows with motar cement seems so archaic! There has to be a much better way & more modern technology to seal them. 😱

[@Shaverst1]

The chateau is really coming together. Your vision for its restoration is so in keeping with its rich history.I know this comment is quite early, but I cannot wait to see your beautiful chateau all decked out for the holidays.

[@jamiemorgan4146]

It’s a lot of fun watching a Pro work. I’ve always found, that watching any talented craftsman work is amazing.. Go Ash! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Jamie 😊

[@eightiesallen3180]

Suggesting this again, but you should use a large pastry bag (they make them for cement as well) to squeeze the cement into the cracks. It guarantees that there are no voids, and it is much faster. 🤔

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you 😊😊

[@LynnThompsonAuthor]

That second one looked like you got it installed not a moment too soon! It's scary to see the plaster crumbling as you remove those old ones. I can only imagine how much of a difference this is going to make in keeping the chateau warmer this winter and eliminating traffic noise from the road!

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thanks Lynn

[@carladejonge4951]

The new windows are jewels to the chateau! They are beautiful! ❤

[@spiritofanu3112]

Another great job done, team Lalacelle!! Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@Skattie]

We share your happiness ❤

[@blobfish1112]

Are there going to be window sills, like metal ones? If not, I think those windows will rot like the previous ones when rain water gets sucked into the sealing cement which is directly against wood. Window sill should be a bit slanted to lead water away from the window and wall but the stone outside the window seems level.

[@LaReynedeNeige]

It's a fair point. If it becomes an issue a drip strip fitted to the windows might help, but it's difficult to do anything about the stone being level.

[@holymoly6829]

The new windows are so beautiful now they are done to suit the original ones 👍👍👍👍

[@ashleywaters7198]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@kendallricker9633]

That window looks like the size of a king size bed. The heat retention, sound dampening and wind blockage will be amazing. What a video. Congrats on the swap from old to new...Is that a future rental suit? Thanks for sharing.

[@corbeilville]

You will see such a big difference in the heating during the coming cold season.

[@christinewilkinson3772]

Looks fabulous!!

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

They look beautiful and now this winter you won’t have cold air blowing through the windows. Probably a wise decision to have the remainder of the windows replaced also. Now Terry can focus on other things and not repairing the old windows. xx

[@michaelwieneke1992]

Great work, Ash! I knew before pressing the Play button on this video that you'd certainly be describing the window as "absolutely amazing" but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Crack on!

[@nettybubba7730]

Hey Ash, for future rapid set under the windows, try putting it into a strong plastic bag, cut a hole in the bottom corner of the bag and pipe it out (like icing on a cake). It will be easier, quicker and less mess. Just an idea going forward.

[@cherylmcnair5594]

The windows look fantastic Ash 🎉😊

Incredible progress inside and out. Everything done to last 100 years!

[@gloriahelstrip3627]

What a fabulous job on the windows. Your window maker is so talented.Ash you must have learnt a lot from him.. I've been following you all from the start. You are an amazing bunch of people. Ash did you hear me SHOUTING (watch your eyes son.) ( Geordie Grandma saying ) When you were pulling plaster off the window. I think you are all amazing. Good luck for your future. Gloria💂

[@rachaelclark628]

Beautifully done Ash job well done. How are my boys! Ive claimed you 3 as my boys too. I know Mom is so proud of you she works right beside you too. Its amazing to watch all the changes, cant wait till each episode you give us to watch. Watching you all so proud of your hard work warms my heart.

[@jezabel1960]

Looks like more cement on the outside window sill still to come.😊

[@ashleywaters7198]

Yes we were losing light and had to get the filming done. It’s all cemented and pointed 😊

[@ddfromcalgary2348]

The windows do look absolutely fab! Are there plans to silicone the bottom edges of the windows where that mortar/cement has been used under the new frames? Mortar/cement is porous, and moisture can still get in if not sealed. Also, that same space should not bend inwards like the usual mortar joint between bricks. Its profile should be straight down then sweep outwards, so water running down the outsides of the windows will be cast away from that joint, and drip away from the window opening. I wish you the very best results with these beautiful new windows. You really deserve to be pleased and proud of what you have accomplished so far!

[@patriciadelsey8793]

The windows look great and really make the front of the Chateau look new and refreshing. As for the Christmas decorations, no need to explain; mine have been up since the 1st and I do this every year because it takes so long to do, I want lots of time to enjoy it! I do my outdoor decor on Thanksgiving.

[@peggystein3745]

Love the tiles beautiful!

[@ashleywaters7198]

They’re gorgeous Peggy 😊

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

It might be easier to use a piping bag (for baking) to get the cement under the window. Then you’d just squeeze it in.
