All this roofin stuff is good, but where are the puppies 🐶 🤔?? I wanna see pups!!

[@stefvanremmen8335]

Our greatest fear? The emptiness when the chateau is finished. Until then, so much to enjoy! So just take your time Dan, good for your safety and health. And our peace of mind too...

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

Dan is an action man. Maybe he will sell the chateau for a huge profit and move on to a new job. Or if he makes enough cash, just start a new project for your titillation. Did you consider that?

[@davidmurphy1653]

Dan will just start something else

[@riocaz]

The interiors, the pool, etc etc will keep him going for a few years yet, and I have no doubt he's already saving towards his next project.

[@heehaw8401]

The chateau won’t be finished for a while I am guessing. We shall enjoy.

[@stefvanremmen8335]

You're right, but it's the chemistry between Dan, the chateau, his friends and the unique work that touches me every evening...@@PreservationEnthusiast

The chateau is lovely, but don’t forget Dan’s personality and creativity with the camera. Those are the icing on the cake.

[@user-xs6rj3zm1i]

I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are at this stage in the summer. I vividly remember being terrified as you were putting up the first roof in the force gale winds. This is SO MUCH BETTER!

[@nickfosterxx]

100,000 views in 3 hours is a real testament to what this one man can achieve. I salute you Dan.

Also a possible explanation for all the state of the art equipment--sponsors love views.

[@Chloedoda]

Saying hi from Singapore! I just realised that I’ve been following your progress for more than a year now and have been religiously waiting for your video upload everyday. Somehow, watching you put the chateau back together relaxes me after a hard and stressful day at work. Thanks for the therapy and congrats to all your achievements, Dan! Stay safe!

[@janeharris6925]

It’s nice to see Nick having a break for once. He usually never stops moving.

[@nikbull1258]

I think Nick wanted a break from being an arborist (tree surgeon). So physically demanding and isolated. I guess this is where his apprentice is now taking care of his former clients. Nick is enjoying the company and being part of a team. His multiple skills are also appreciated.

[@nigelbullock9039]

Dan. This roof seems to have gone so smoothly and you have done brilliantly. You make it look so easy when it's not.

[@debbiebrowne-gudat5170]

So happy Nick is around coming up, not only is he a tremendous help, but he'll keep you in safety check!!!!!

[@FarmgirlFriday]

It is amazing what an extra pair of hands can help accomplish. I have been working on a (quite small) building project and it moves 3-4 times faster when my brother can help vs. trying to maneuver and hold things in place while fastening them by myself.

[@TheBusinessAdvisorPodcast]

My mom gave me a home in South Carolina that I had to redo. I wanted to put a big south carolina front porch on the house that covered the full length of the house with a tin room. I hired a guy to build it, however it was done so badly that I had to fire him. The problem was that I had to rebuild. I studied building on youtube and then I started to tear down. I had to dig six holes, 4 feet down, fill with concrete and hangers to attach the boards to. I did it all myself, took me two years. The tough part was the roof and getting the beams up by myself, hoping nothing would fall. In the end I was proud of what I had done. It is still there and the house has sold three times since I owned it with the price going up. But what I learned is that I loved the process. I loved to look at what I had done every single day. When it was done, I would always have my coffee each morning on the front porch. Now, as I watch you, I feel I need another project. You and thos helping are doing a great job. I am waiting to see what it all looks like in the end. Keep doing good work.
