The good, bad, & ugly of our chateau exteriors (Part II, Full Tour)

[@elisabethbenders-hyde5286]

You have such a different approach to the restoration of the chateau than Adrian and Carol. Whereas the former owners tried to do a lot of the cosmetic restoration, you are going down to the history and foundation of the chateau. Different strategies for different personalities and backgrounds. Very interesting. I like that you give Adrian credit for what he was able to accomplish. They gave the chateau their hearts, but it was not enough.

[@maryonkinsella8334]

I like your take on a chateau vlog. It isn't just another chateau vlog. You bring a fresh and artistic perspective to it, making it very interesting to watch. Your appreciation for history and architecture makes me excited to see what you will do with it.

[@JuSutton]

Very well said 👍

[@watch9915]

Everyone who has lived and owned the Chateau has left a mark. Now we are in your era. Very interesting to see it thru the eyes of a young architect. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm old but hope I live long enough to see the coach house done some day. Very fond of these buildings.

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

We're going to show the coachhouse and talk a little bit about our plans there in the coming videos. Thanks for your comment!

[@K8TYK8]

It’s easy to see why so many of these buildings have fallen into disrepair. The cost to maintain them is massive and it’s becoming difficult to find craftsmen to do these complicated jobs. Fortunately, la Ferte now has you at the helm. I really love how organized and honest you are about what needs to be done.

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Thank you for your comment. You're right, it's getting harder to find experienced artisans for this kind of work. It just takes a couple of years of disrepair for things to take a turn for the worse. In our case, the house was left empty for a bit over a decade in the 90's and that's the damage we are still having to address!

[@patriciasmith9712]

Of course, we all loved Carol & Adrienne, but this is a new life coming to us, a new adventure and we will grow to love you guys too. Keeping this historic chateau alive is what matters - and it seerms you guys know what you are doing. Bravo

[@alexandra-zaza-burns]

You have been so diplomatic regarding previous work done. Looking forward to following your journey.

[@jmfs8738]

I’m impressed with your realistic and professional assessments, which will lead to good planning, and better restoration work. The structural work will be interesting to follow. Your hosting friends and other creatives is a great idea. Thanks for bringing us along! Best wishes to you all!

[@amayastrata4629]

I absolutely love it when you have a collective of friends who get involved in a project together. The energy is amazing. Also, the fact that the electricity is not up to code is no surprise. I used to watch the previous owners. They did a semi good job but I don’t think they cared enough to do it all properly. They just wanted to concentrate on the aesthetics. It’s about money as well so I think that may have affected their decisions because they spent a fair bit of money on the grand salon when the structure was the most important. I unsubscribed from them some way in because I could see that their decisions were confusing and so upsetting that the building wasn’t being cared for properly.

[@JuSutton]

I also felt the same, it was all about paint & frills rather than getting the core structure of the building and utilities in good shape.

[@larapotapowicz503]

Their aesthetics are also questionable.

[@AtlantaGarden]

Well, you have hot water, so there's that. 😊 Happy to see your friends visiting. I like the "good, bad & ugly" approach to your explanations. Looking forward to seeing future progress.

[@GraceSmith-e3o]

It’s so wonderful to see you saving the old girl and tackling the important aspects. Best of luck! Will be rooting you on.

[@Torsten389]

I’m glad that you are addressing the issue of making good decisions regarding structure. The last owners saved the house from ruin, but they were not knowledgeable about proper practices regarding heritage structures. I like the assessment process you’re showing, it reminds me of my college days learning my heritage trade. Hopefully you will inspire more to approach restoration with more thought and planning before acting. Great vibe going on too!

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Hello! Thanks for your comment. We decided to go for KZbin (after watching many chateau channels for research) because we wanted to share exactly this kind of process with more emphasis on architecture, not only renovation. Glad to hear this resonated, cheers from La Ferté.

[@boessheila50]

GOOD. NEW OWNERS BETTER HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY AND $$$$

[@boessheila50]

ADRIAN CUT ALL THE BAMBOO IN YARD. RE CEMENTED STONES IN THE GARDEN WALL. TOO SND CAROLES MUM AND BF WEEDED THE ENTIRE GARDEN AREA. IT LOOKED BEAUTIFUL. WEEDS GROW REAL FAST AND TREE LIMBS CONSTANTLY. VOMING DIWN IN WINDS IN WINTER

[@jerrielindsey5939]

So glad the chateau has found her way into your capable hands. It will be fascinating to see it restored.

[@kathyacemoi]

regarder de nouveaux propriétaires travailler dans un projet fou , apprendre plus sur l'architecture de ce bâtiment, avoir des cours d'histoire en supplément ,que demander de plus ? Bravo jeunes gens, et en plus vous êtes adorable tout les deux.

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Merci beaucoup ! 😊

[@frannieb715]

I look forward to following along in your journey to restore La Ferte to her former beauty and more importantly, to ensure that she is structurally sound enough to last another two centuries. She is une belle grande dame, and it makes me so happy that she is in good hands. Sending you many blessings and wishes for happiness and success in this endeavor! ❤

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Thank you for your comment. She's a beauty, isn't she? Cheers from La Ferté

[@alexac3098]

THANK YOU. I said several times on Adrian and Carole’s videos that what they called the original kitchen was not accurate; the age of the house dictated the kitchen would have been in the basement. I also knew that had to be the case because of the odd doorway between the ‘original’ upstairs kitchen and the dining room with the wide framing, it had to have been the dumb waiter from the basement. ALL houses like this from this period had them. Adrian never showed that little fireplace. I know the rest of the basement had to have been other rooms used by the domestic staff as well.

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

To be honest that fireplace was a bit hidden behind the huge old heating system. I guess the upstairs kitchen was originally more of an informal / service eating space. The old gunracks above the fireplace tell it all.

[@alexac3098]

@ I’m very interested in 19th century grand homes. That room has always puzzled me. I thought it must have been the original dining room, because of the proximity of the butler’s pantry and the site of the dumb waiter, and the exterior door leading to the exterior entrance to the cave. And in old homes, the basement kitchen was always directly beneath the dining room. But looking at the floor plan and the size of the door from the corridor, that doesn’t seem likely. I do think that the original butlers pantry would have been bigger/longer, encompassing that entire end of the house including the space that currently has the WC. Also entirely possible that that exterior door was only added at the time the kitchen was moved to the ground floor. I do know the current kitchen was the library, and if I remember the floor plan correctly, there was an additional room within the room I believe would have been a study.

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Thanks for acknowledging Adrian’s work!!

[@marionwalter3873]

I am so glad this lovely building is now in your hands and will be restored and not renovated. The difference between those words is huge and this lovely old girl was caught in the nick of time by you both. I wish you much luck going forward and I hope to be able to follow your journey

[@PatriciaDelsey]

Thank you for the good, bad and ugly…it needs to be seen

[@elizabethjohnson4006]

Thank goodness someone is finally prioritising the restoration of the basic structure of the chateau rather than guilding the pretty bits inside. Get the main structure sorted first , then you can do the fancy decorative features on the inside.

[@NannieG-y6v]

Exactly the reason I stopped watching the last ownership

[@JuSutton]

@NannieG-y6v me too

[@bluemoonfaekynd8624]

yeaah agreed, like the owners of Chateau de Purnon and Avensac, they prioritize important structural elements like roofings and support. make the building safe and functional first, beautifications must come later

[@gordonulrickson3626]

You are taking a very organized approach to everything and being very diplomatic about work that has been done. Liking your priority list of getting the roof repaired. My Dad was a carpenter and always said a tight roof was the first priority that chimney is high on the list as well you don't want it crashing through the roof. It is sad that. Adrian didn't replace the beams under the salon when the whole floor was out.

[@karenniehues4786]

I thought he did.

[@konielliott2933]

Im happy to see that you are approaching this massive project with the goal of restoration rather than just beautification. As it progresses the real beauty will shine through.

[@JuSutton]

Your approach is truly an intelligent and refreshing approach - very well done. It is a real surprise and shock that the previous owners spent hundreds of hours with trivial considerations on paint colours/shades/technics whilst the floors beneath their feet were literally rotting away. I stopped watching their channel after a while it all got far too tacky.

[@kireland8]

I went to design school myself, though a few years back. I love the whole "chateaux" enterprise. I am delighted to see the professionalism you're bringing to it. You got me hooked.

[@jillwestgarth9495]

Echoing earlier comments, a fresh take on restoration of a chateau. Dan Preston is restoring a ruin. You have liveable accommodation (Some with flair and pizzaz). Hopefully your vlog will find its niche with viewers. Good luck!

[@JuSutton]

Dan Preston has also found some AMAZING stone masons who are currently repointing the whole of the chateau's basement. The workmanship looks superb.

[@jdrew5367]

Your approach as being an architect is very interesting in evaluating the structure step-by-step. I like that you are not hiding the actual underline problems that your Château is enduring. I hope you can find qualified craftsman to help your château. Thank you for explaining. I find this extremely interesting. Take care, be safe, and happy holidays.❤

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Thanks for your comment! We have a lot of very capable artisans around us here in Mayenne. The problem, as always, is their availability!

[@donnasteinberg1398]

You are completely realistic on the condition of the Chateau! It's wonderful that you love it and can see the good with the bad. I wish you all the best in this fabulous adventure!!💕

[@TheNightOwls2]

I think this chateau has found it’s true saviours! For sure it is a long marathon but I think you have the right expertise and mindset needed to tackle this with confidence, and you seem to have a wonderful mix of friends that will help bring life back where it is most needed…the hard assessments and work along with the artistic balance are sure to bring a happy balance into Le Ferte! 😉👍

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Wow what a lovely comment, thanks so much! Cheers from La Ferté.

[@janicemonroe5948]

I hate to say it but Adriene and Carol while worked very hard am sure must have been overwhelmed. And now next owners left with the hardest and most expensive part of restoring this chateau.

[@arnicepernice8656]

This type of filming draws one in, fascinating. I wish you well.

[@dawnbarnes8729]

It blows my mind the amount of money these chateau eat up. Don’t get me wrong, I love that there are folks like y’all who are willing to take this challenge on. I follow several chateau channels, including Carol and Adrian when they were at La Ferte. I can see why they sold. So much work! 😱 Good luck in all of your work ahead of you. ❤️😊

DEFINITELY need some STEEL BEAMS for the structural integrity of the building. Fortunately you have solid masonry walls in the basement so they’ll be useful to connect the steel

That's a possibility we're looking into right now!

[@DavidHelliwell-t7k]

Seasons greeting from Brisbane, Australia. It is so good to see a couple take on this chateau and bring on experts to provide advice. It is so important to prioritise the major issues with this building, something the previous owners failed to even consider. It would appear that the previous owners did som cosmetic jobs and not tackle the important issues. I think they did this solely for the purpose of vlogging on KZbin and trying to make a bit of money from it. I would certainly be closely inspecting the work that has already been carried out to ensure that it has been carried out correctly. I am looking forward to following your future vlogs and wish you every success with your venture. 😎

[@ntakovacj3644]

They can deal with it -- I'm sure they examined all this when they decided to buy. It isn't like our suburban houses where everything is all covered up with drywall and fresh paint to be sold to complete technical/mechanica morons (like myself) who only find out what we're getting into after the first rain!!!

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Well, we knew what we were getting into and we are pretty excited to tackle these things...the whole selling process here in France is pretty detailed, everything has to be declared and acknowledged ahead of time. Of course, this doesn't mean there won't be surprises, but those should be exceptions to the rule (we hope)! Cheers from La Ferté.

[@sheilahartnagle6114]

Adrian & Carole did a great job with the time they spent living at the Chateau. They have restored rooms, more than when they had. It had been empty for a long time before they moved into the Chateau. Do as they did, work on it as they did and make it ur own. It just feels like ur faulting them for what they did not do. Just saying. And u dont cover the units for the air conditions, u can build a fence to hide then, but u dont cover them. Embrace this part of history that u own ❤

[@maggiegray1698]

They aren't faulting Adrian and Carole. They are just being truthful about the condition of the chateau.

[@SweetOne.]

I am enjoying your vlog on restoring La Ferte, the Architecture and problem solving with Engineers is going to be fascinating. The Main Staircase support has always been my biggest concern but now that you showed the chimney - that's an urgent issue. I wonder if it leaned more in the high winds recently? Do be careful!! I'm curious where the dumb waiter was, from the kitchen to the upstairs pantry? The time, effort and money the prior owners put into making the Chateau habitable, with a few rooms decorated so their mental health and comfort needs were met, made it so that others can live in the Chateau while work continues. Due to budget constraints and urgency, some fixes were done with the "temporary 20 year fix" acknowledged at the time. I am so glad that all of you (guests included) appreciate the habitable condition it is currently in. Happy with your new home, even with all it's aches and pains

[@OhNoAnotherChateau]

Hello. I've already contacted a local stonemason who has worked with chimneys in similar conditions around our area and I'm still waiting for his return. The chimney duct hasn't moved since but I'm eager to get it fixed ASAP. As for the dumb waiter, I still haven't found any traces of it coming from the old, underground kitchen. We do have a door connecting the upstairs kitchen with the dining room that used to be a passe-plat - a fake door leading to shelves where the warm dishes were laid in order for the help to serve them. We are very glad with the improvements that Adrian and Carol have brought to the château. Being able to take a hot shower at the end of the day and having a new heating system is a comfort that few newly arrived château owners have. Cheers from La ferté.

[@SweetOne.]

@@OhNoAnotherChateau Thank you for responding. Nice to hear that the chimney is unstably stable at the moment. Very interesting about the Passe-plat. I now imagine the staff carrying trays of food up the stairs to the butlers kitchen. Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

I live in a 200 year old house and also had a damp cellar, I placed mechanical ventilation that’s always working for the airflow. Works very well

That's certainly one way of tackling it. I still think we can make it with natural ventilation, we just need to revisit the existing openings (there are quite a few) and redo the main basement door. But I guess we'll see in time! Thanks for your comment.

There are so many chateau's in France in this condition and worse. Many of them will never be renovated due to the cost. Sadly they are money pits and many owners can no longer afford to maintain and renovate them and they simply just abandon them. Hopefully with a lot of luck and knowledge this chateau gets restored to its past glory.

[@suecollado8696]

💕If you remove the Tommy tiles & soil/clay & everything else they use to put under them it would take they weight off the beams in your cellar💕Those shutters are beautifully unique also the Lead paint & Rust is very easy to remove just leave to the summer months to do them outside💕

[@franz357]

There is definitely a ton of work up ahead for you guys for the next few decades, including major stuff like structural work, having to set up huge scaffolding for the roof and the rendering (scaffolding is damn pricey in France!) for a long period of time (might consider buying it instead of renting it, and selling it when you're done with it, if you can afford that). 💸💸💸 But damn this is such a beautiful peace of property 🤩 The window above the entrance is stunning : would you consider having a vitrail made in place of the regular glass there ?
