Having a brand new water connection seems so much better than adapting an old one. I know you are going to LOVE having running water!

[@t84t748748t6]

half the chateau got running water when it rains

[@lyndalouise3480]

Hi Dan and Nick from Tasmania, the plants will love a little bit of rain, love every new vlog, it is so exciting watching this amazing journey.❤️🙏👏👏👏👏👏

[@lynnestamey7272]

I've been looking for this! This chateau renovation is the best on KZbin imho. The gardens are going to be gorgeous! I'm appreciating improved safety efforts like the stair railing. Who doesn't love Nick and crew? Dan has to be the hardest working man in. France!

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

I am really pleased about the stair rails and toe guards. It will make huge difference for visits by possible sponsors, building control, TV and the media. I think that now there is some progress to see this rennovation will get covered by mainstream media as well!

[@neonity4294]

​@@PreservationEnthusiast During the live stream last week he mentioned getting a lot of messages from people meddling with his private life or offering to be volunteers and there's fans hanging around the chateau. People can be crazy. I'm afraid this project might get out of hand with even more media coverage.

[@BernardDauphinais]

@@PreservationEnthusiast British television has filmed there more than once already. Not being in England, I don't know what channel or program, but they've been at the chateau to film.

[@thenodiggardener]

Having had Border Collies my whole life, I really do love seeing Anna so happy running around the place, and hunting for moths and voles just like my first dog. Elsa seems far more chilled out about it all.

[@pianofitz]

At 1:03, I loved watching the tractor and cart driving down the driveway, with dog zooming joyfully alongside!

[@lorrainewalker9674]

Yes they are beautiful doggies. I enjoy watching Anna too, she’s so inquisitive and loves the chance of a race down the driveway.

[@gwyn192]

I miss our beloved BCs so much, but they lived long, happy lives.

[@gordonnadolni]

They sure love going to that lake and taking a swim .

[@edwinaflannery9828]

I just love watching Dan's dogs, they are so good, real dogs doing their dog things..I am so pleased to here you will eventually get some real water too..never a day goes by without a big change..

[@NewEscapade]

While Dan talked about how the chateau was expanding in "feel" with each floor completion, my thoughts went back to the weeks where he was staying at an AirBnB that he couldn't even stand up straight in, when he was technically homeless for a bit.

[@EthanLomas]

Yes, I remember that, too, lol. times have moved on. Hes such a cheeky chappy

[@valeriejohnson5283]

😂 Not just one BnB, he was homeless at one time until he bought the Chateau and got the Yurt to live in. Dan has come a long way since SHE cheated on him and he had to leave the home he remodeled from scratch. That kitchen he built was beautiful! He even did a cooking show a couple of times in his remodeled kitchen and catered a few dinner parties at Chateau La Lande. I felt so bad for him, he even had to leave Stephanies Chateau! Well, our Dan has come a long way and has his own Chateau De Chamont that he will never have to leave.

[@abbyT2023]

Gosh, that seems like a lifetime ago now!

[@EthanLomas]

@@valeriejohnson5283 I do not know about his personal life and to be honest it is not really my business. I am just glad he is happy :)

[@griffin2263]

​@@valeriejohnson5283maybe don't post things you have no personal information about .. watching someone on yountube is in no way having any insight into someone life ..only videos that some one posts to a web site ....they can often times not represent what is actually going on in that person's life..unless you personally know that person any information you gain from KZbin can be pure fantasy..

[@lindabrooks8242]

Imagine having running water, Dan! We take a lot for granted, don't we? Floors, floors, and more floors....the chateau is definitely evolving!❤

[@kimberly_erin]

I know! I watch Make. Do. Grow. And they just got a toilet after 3 yrs and just recently hot water from the sink! No real bedroom and no hot indoor shower but they sure are moving up in the world with that toilet! 😂

[@tracarussell9810]

It's apart of my lunch hour 😂

[@user-dt4gc9ow4d]

This was the most badly damaged chateau I'd ever seen when I first tuned in. I thought it would be 10 years before it would look like anything, but I was wrong. Dan, you are a miracle worker. I specially enjoyed every "noggin" you hammered in. I can hardly wait to see the finished roof. Keep up the hard work, it's really paying off for you at long last.

[@burrellthomson]

Now you know that you will have mains water, it may be the time to think about placing piping to allow for the installation of a fire sprinkler system. Nobody could bear the thought of the chateau catching fire again! Much easier to install the piping before everything is closed up.

[@christinewilkinson3772]

You’re so lucky to have Nick working with you!

[@lloydmckibbanjr5806]

They say, 'April showers bring May flowers' I absolutely love watching each episode. Can not wait to see this Chateau completely restored to it's former glory.

[@karenmetcalf-pugh5]

I think this chateau will never be fully restored. It will be very beautiful and liveable but there will always be something that needs to be added or fixed. Dan signed up for a lifetime of labor.

[@kimlarkin2630]

Oh the joy of Dans Vlogs😘

[@elebelle51]

Even though you'll have the water connection, I imagine you'll also put in a rain water recuperation system from your roof when you finish that. Not just because rain water is better for the garden but also for your things like the laundry and toilets, where drinking water is not required.

[@SuzyQ-qc5zn]

I agree. Nick could half bury a two story one. The amount of rain from this roof would fill it probably after 2 good rain events. It could be used for all sorts of projects, indoor or outdoor.

[@mireille4751]

Agree! Good money saving because water is expensive in France.

[@jb.1256]

This is just so exciting to see the whole chateau coming together, it is truly unreal how much progress has been made by one man and a small team. Incredible work guys, keep it up!!

[@user-xr6cx2dj3j]

I love that the dogs are free to run and are having a great dogs life ❤

[@lilashelton535]

Those dogs would be so bored in a normal quiet home! That must be such a relief to have rubble boards and water issues under your belt

[@bexp436]

Wow, never been this early to the party before. Yay, youre getting water😊

[@ahangman]

I know you always worry about if people are interested in planting instead of rebuilding. They are both fun to watch. The landscape is just as important as the building structure. Glad to see the running water is coming in the future. It has been a long time coming.

[@elainewhyte1181]

I LOVE the landscaping

[@rostallar4243]

By the time you’ve finished this rebuild Dan, you’ll be a Jack of all trades & a master of them all. You’re doing a smashing job here with the workshop & the help from Nick & company. You & your team are doing a cracking job.

Good to see the floors structure being completed. So much more can happen with a floor on which to stand. Stabilizing the tower and the arches, the walls, and of course, the roof! So glad you guys got this second bunch of plants in. Getting the garden going while you continue will grow to be inspiration when the hard bits come along now and then. Water will make a big difference in general moral, I bet!

[@NinaHansen2008]

Two of my very favorite channels… ERF and TT. Bravo to both!

[@Neighbour249]

You're probably going to want to add a retaining wall for your car park, that dirt is going to erode surprisingly fast if you get some good rain. And it's going to settle quite a lot too.

[@LaReynedEpee]

I agree it looked as though there is a lot of soil, pure rubble would have been better, but I guess they'll just keep heaping it on as they go.

[@allymayful]

Don’t you think that we can take it for granted that they have a suitable solution for that, already planned. Surely you are aware that Dan is an awesome gardener!!! Plus ld say Nick was an expert in understanding how gravity works!!!

Your skills grow by the day!

[@katehirst6046]

I hope you get water soon, Dan. Shame the old connection wasn't still there. Funny how each year pans out, last year you needed the drier weather to build the floors up; this year it's good that all the new planting is getting watered. Have to say l'd really like some sunnier, drier weather now...

[@williamsnyder1205]

It's Tuesday morning here in my part of the world and Dan's video was uploaded three hours ago. It's always a lovely, invigorating way to start my day with some Dan energy and humour.

[@karladenton5034]

Old utility maps are notoriously inaccurate. Before retirement, I worked for a utility company in the states and we had to do that 'treasure hunt locating' all the time, even when we knew the pipe was there somewhere. Given that the mains in the past were probably cast iron, which has a max life span of 100 years under perfect conditions and probably went in between the Wars, they would be ready to be replaced soon even if you knew precisely where they were, so it's probably for the best to put in new at this point.
