My heart stopped when the first amount of wooden beams almost catapulted him down the staircase

[@erics320]

yep, if he had 1 more beam in that bundle or lost his footing it would have ended very bad.

[@dennispatrick4999]

It's been like this for 1 1/2 years. And, he's got 2 gorgeous boys.

It’s amazing what you are able to do by yourself. Bravo, Dan.

Buddy, you made me holler for the first time at the TV!!!! 'NO DAN!' Can we all praise the Lord for you not going down with all that lumber!!!! Dan's guardian angel is working OT.

Truly overtime

[@margielee9500]

Once I see a new video is available, I grin from ear to ear until several minutes after the video ends. I really love Dan and his chateau.

[@Marguerite-xy4my]

You never cease to amaze me, AND don't go jumping on those beams like that, you will give us all heart attacks, never mind what it will do to you. Luv ya

[@edwinaflannery9828]

Have you ever considered how many trips up ladders you make, how many noggins you have made, how much cement you have mixed, how much wood you have bought up to the floors, the amount of metal..the amounts must be incredible..but it's getting you there..what an incredible journey..so proud of yiye achievement ❤

Miss Nick. He's about the only one who somewhat keeps DAN in check. Somewhat

Dan's filming and editing skill's are as incredible as his building skills. To see the cloud's in the sky go by as Dan works... Neither relent, Neither stop. Amazing.

[@anniekingsbury6842]

I thought the same. He builds the roof all day, edits documentary quality video and finds just the right music...Surely someone else is sourcing the music!

This is how a man deals with a housing crisis. Courage, self belief and a can do attitude.

[@carolynh.5158]

It's unbelievable how quickly the walls to support the roof are going up and how little adjustment is needed to match the other side. That's a testament to the level of craftsmanship that is goung into the rebuilding of this beautiful chateau. Rock on!

[@bettyrush3651]

I’d want to do a happy dance after pulling those 3 boards up😂 Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jessejames5375]

Hi Dan, so good to see the progress, hopefully Nick and Brian are back soon to help you moving those timbers about. Have a great week, see ya tomorra 😊

[@lindaburnham9593]

OMG, the first load that you winched up that wanted to slide back down really had me holding my breath. You were basically sitting in it and I had visions of you ‘riding’ it down to the floor…A disaster waiting. WHEW !!

[@brlngtn]

Here we go again. I don't know who is more excited,Dan putting up the next new roof or us viewers watching Dan putting it up.

[@birdsndog5819]

Yes!

It's going up so quickly and if he has to do less woodwork. It will be even quicker.

[@melodyhutton9307]

Gotta love the enthusiasm that is shown here by Dan. When he gets excited it get transferred to us through the lens of the camera. I get excited watching him. Carry on my friend.

It looks lovely! You've done a fabulous job! I CAN'T wait to see all of the roofs up and the original structure intact. It's already so elegant and graceful. It will be stunning when the rooms are sorted and the windows are in. I can't wait to see it restored to it's former magnificence.

Dan, your castle is shaping up and soon you will be watching the sun rise and set every single day from your balcony, and you will survey all that you've done and the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into Chateau de Chaumont. You'll be an actual whatchamacallit, a compt. Compte de Preston? Anyways, you will be an actual king of your very own castle! I don't comment very often but I have been following your channel for awhile and I am so impressed with your hard work and willingness to go at it day and night, in the sun, rain, or snow, to make this place beautiful again. It's amazing! ❤

Every time I see a drone shot of the house I keep hoping for the day when there isn’t a single green thing growing out of the walls. It’s such an impressive thing to see how far you have come. When I see each new room and think wow that is a massive room. The chateau seems to grow. It won’t be long and all the green things growing on the house will be gone!

[@martemacdougall1985]

Your enthusiasm is contagious Dan! I think you guys should have a special ceremony when the last two shrubs are removed from the front left balcony. Perhaps, if they are usable, they could go into a special place in the garden? Everything looks so good 👍

I agree. I have been watching both of their channels for years

[@veepotter307]

How in the world did the original builders build such a gigantic structure without all your special cutting tools, wrenches, building supply businesses close by, boxes of screws and nails, precise measuring devices, and perhaps no architectural design? It boggles the mind! Simply mind blowing!

[@fotter9567]

Of course they had technical plans. And really good tools, just not electrified, but first and foremost, they had enormous amounts of skill. This building isn’t even particularly old, but if you look into old building techniques, you’d be amazed about how clever people were at the time. I have a deep admiration for old building techniques and try to research and learn as many as I can while renovating old houses. It’s like going on a treasure hunt. It’s today’s techniques that are sub par and probably won’t last half as long as the old stuff.

putting those boards between your legs to pull them was super dangerous - if you lost control and the beams fell into the shaft, at a minimum your junk would get crushed as you were knocked over ; at worst, you could have taken a bareback beam ride down the shaft with them.
