I love that Nick talks to himself while getting tools and the concrete in the right spot. Something that we all likely do when focused on a project.

[@melodyfisher1512]

A second expert opinion!❤

Self talk while working alone is vastly more productive.

I love the superimposing of the old photograph, it reminds us of just what you and the boys have achieved. Bloody well done fellas !!!!

Quite, the old photo was very cool! I'm looking forward to seeing this progress 8and dreading them trying to put on the shingels).

Oh, my heart! When Dan superimposed the ghost roof over the turret, emotion filled my heart with joy.

[@FaniaMinaur]

magic!!!

That was magical at the end when you morphed the pic of the actual turret roof onto the fake one.

Oh I just had to watch it again! I had a flash back of Philip standing in the room with the full gown tree just staring dumbfounded at what you had committed yourself to. And now, so much has been accomplished. Well done you!!! 😊

With Stephanie warning him that there are Loo’s in there.

[@stefvanremmen8335]

You guys make it exciting every day Dan. I feel like I'm part of it! Glad I get to experience that every day, every week, every month and every year!

[@vickiepetrillo3589]

I could not have said it better. Magnificent job, love you all.

[@paulcorso5442]

Build the turret roof on the ground complete and hire a crane for a couple of hours and install it that way. Quicker and above all, much safer!

[@paullewis7579]

Great Paul’s think alike

[@matthewmcdonald9238]

That’s what I’ve seen others do

[@louloubell6586]

Good idea. I couldn't climb up there, so freighting.

[@thomasmyrick5195]

I think this a brilliant idea. I actually saw this happen on another chateau vlog.

[@maryromine7910]

Well that makes a ton of sense! I think Nic would agree with you. But….. will Dan? 😂

[@joyeddlemon798]

Love the shot where you superimposed the photo over top of today’s build. It showed what it’s going to look like again. Great editing.

[@oszzzie]

This really is the coolest project on the internet. Thanks to the algorithm that suggested this channel to me 1 1/2 years ago.

[@malcolmcoward7480]

Oh well done Dan, Nick and Brian. In fact everyone who has been involved. What a masterpiece.

[@annmariefraser1064]

The superimposed old turret beyond your frame at minute 6.00 was really impressive.🎉🎉Unbelievable it is really and truly happening after these couple years your daily struggles and glorious moments. Way to fellas, Grammie is so proud of your phenomenal achievements…🎉🎉🎉🎉

Seeing the first section of the test roof go up gave me chills! Congrats boys you are killing it!

I watch and I imagine what’s it may be like to be a king of a real castle that you rebuilt with your own hands and ability to learn and do things. Love it. No excuse making there.

You two are the best example of doing well by doing what you love.

[@wandacasper5612]

Congratulations. Dan if the tapes are short or long, thank u for taking us along on your journey. Awesome. Have learned so much. Stay safe

[@digitalportraitist]

Dan build it on the ground clad it roof it and bring a crane in to fly it in place that’s the safest and fastest way to get it done. Stay safe!

[@judy-angedv7590]

Exactly what my husband and I just said to one another

[@NeilWinter-qx2dj]

Probably would be extremely expensive though

[@andrewfield5391]

Just what I said yesterday😀

[@edelknecht]

This channel makes enough money to rent a crane or scaffolding. I think scaffolding is needed later anyway.

How do you know that?​@@edelknecht

Gives ya the shivers just looking at how amazing it will look. It looks so much more complete and safe now.

This is starting to get really exciting. I just love it when it planned comes together in a project starts to get finished like this Roof.🥰🥰🥰

[@michaelj9764]

Mr Dan and Mr Nick. Amazing work. Dan come from a construction family as you do. In the name of safety, build the turret on the ground and hire a crane. Honestly the slope and angle to secure the timbers piece by piece give you little to secure you three to the building. There will be ample time. I travel extensively around the world for work but never miss an episode. Have turned half of my co-workers into your channel. We all were texting moments ago after watching. Hire the crane. Be safe !! Mike

[@Brazilianfro32]

That's a great idea and I hope he does just that.

[@williehayes1729]

No fair falling, break a leg building it, but don’t break anything by dropping - you are entering the most dangerous part of the build - take extreme care - and don’t fall.

[@jlotoo850]

Yes, exactly. Don't let your success so far and your joy and enthusiasm give you the idea that it isn't possible for anything to go terribly wrong. A healthy fear at this point could save someone's life. Be extremely careful!!

built the turret roof complete at the ground. When finished let a crane lift it up and put it on the tower. Or you need scaffolding.

[@maxineroberts9616]

Wow 😮 it's going to look amazing once the turret roof is in place. The icing on the cake! Congratulations 🎉

[@zlatan_2197]

I feel like safest and quickest way to build the roof would be to build the ring part that goes over the turret and the upper part separately on the ground, and then lift them with the crane and secure together. But that's just intuition, I don't really know, I'm not a professional builder. I'm sure you'll find the optimal way to do it, as long as it's safe.
