I think Nic thinks we clouted him quite enough in the last video. lol

Hi ya. Good to see you aren't on your own today😊

[@melodyhutton9307]

It’s only when you look back at how far you’ve come, do you realize, hey we don’t need to rush this roof. Take a step back and appreciate what you’ve achieved. Amazing guys absolutely amazing.

[@sabinejohn1]

The change from the beginning is just mind boggling! I remember you doing it all on your own, so glad you have such great help now

Nick is so handy. Best sundial weather vane I've ever seen.

Forget those safety harnesses.. you should be wearing parachutes

[@paulcarfantan6688]

Lol. 😆

They're all safe inside the turret box. But, he should have completed it on the ground and then had it lifted into place. I think Dan's being thrifty.

Absolutely amazing the old drone footage showing the devastation, from above. How have you made this transformation? I've been on your channel from the beginning (just about) and still cannot believe the miracle you and the boys (thanks Nick - thanks Brian) - oh and the puppies - create each day/week/month. I eagerly await each days progress, large or small. Thanks!

[@robertjones1785]

Glad to see you decided to play it safe, we enjoy seeing your progress. Plenty of other things to do and wait for the right time to do the roof.

Nic, if you were in a Hollywood movie, you'd be cast as an outlaw, or some badass biker. But over here, you are a father figure. A wise man. I've seen 80 year old grandma's in the comments; 'ow Daniel, when Nic sees this he is not going to like it'. Thank you for keeping our Dan safe.

Think about it: in a few month we will be only having indoor videos. Crazy to see how fast this goes! Keep up the work❤🎉

[@chaws314]

I think the exterior and grounds still have a good amount of work (aka content) left ❤

[@BenvanBroekhuijsen]

Looking forward to that. A proper flight of stairs, a kitchen, bathrooms, still so much to watch the boys do :D

[@ShaneO-j3d]

Indoors will not be as breath holding as these clios

[@SuperEgleh]

it will take some time to build all the dormers, which obviously will be done dangling and no scaffolding, unless he postpone those to after slates, which makes no sense, flashing, repointing, ... but what he's done is a bit deceiving speed wise, putting in large timbers and osb's doesnt really take that long, its usually quick to set up the frame of a house. its every detail after that takes time. I also wonder how he will keep youtube interest up when the plastering starts, because there will be a lot of plastering.

[@chaws314]

@@SuperEgleh we said the same thing about putting in floor beams but he has a way of making even the most repetitive task interesting 😇

Glad you're there Nick to keep him grounded! Many hands will get the job done. Weather permitting 👍

Don’t think we’ll all be bored being told about the prep work. Some of us are particularly absorbed by the little details.

[@susanbello8089]

Okay, I’ve come to the end of my rope!!! I’m probably about the same age as Dan’s mom (or there about). What the BH were you doing on your own this past weekend??? I almost had a heart attack!

[@PatsSwingingSixties]

My daughter watched it with me and said it worried her as well! Even slightly hurting himself and being all alone could have been serious!

[@edwinaflannery9828]

Really glad to see you are not framing up today.. the wind, thank you beard test shows that it's a none starter ..but you do have so much else you can do..❤❤❤❤

[@jlotoo850]

Wait for Brian anyway. He deserves to be there when you cap it off....

[@jwthrussell8786]

Yes hear that wind and thanks for the 360degree view ! Amazing progress and the beautiful tiled floor!

[@gwendolenshepard9124]

This has been such a labor of love. I admire the chateau but the higher you have gotten the more worried I get. Stay safe!

[@billb5749]

Dan I know you want to do this yourself, but you need to get the slates on the existing roofs now. That membrane is not intended to be exposed for a long time. It will deteriorate and tear. If one tenth of the subscribers donated $5.00 you could probably hire a company to come in, build scaffolding, and get the roof slated quickly. Personally I'd be excited to know I was part of the group who "sponsored" getting that beautiful roof slated.

[@sugarkane4830]

Interesting idea.

[@LaReynedEpee]

Roofing is very expensive in France. You hire a company and it doesn't happen for months, and they don't give any timescales. That's exactly how it happens in France and why so many end up doing work themselves.

[@nancyeisner1755]

Thank you for sharing that info. It makes sense now why they are willing to do it themselves.​@LaReynedEpee

Watching your daily updates, Dan, is like eating one Lay’s potato chip a day - when you really want to eat the whole bag! 😝😝😝

[@pamelahoile8224]

Wow, going back to the shots from the beginning, I didn't realize of how much of a shell it truly was, Dan and the Boys, should be so proud of where you are today, it's coming together all so beautifully, only the heights you're at now, it's amazing, I love it when Nick has his GO-PRO, the views are breath taking but at least your thinking safe, can't wait to see how it will look, after this part of the roof goes on, your all doing exceptional work.

[@ruthfrench]

I’m desperate to see all the roofs connected to the tower etc so there is no opportunity for a gust to get in and lift it off. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

[@jaderussell5204]

I'm so happy you survived the distaster of yesterday and Nick is back to control you. Never give us such a scare again! Besides that I'm so glad getting some music again, I've missed it! Stay safe Dan!!!

Nice to see a proper check of the wind by a beard meter!

[@p.bckman2997]

I suppose you don't to Nick's age in this line of work without being safety minded.

[@bexp436]

Oooohhhh my word😮 I'm sure you wonder how you ever managed some of this Dan. Great job😊

[@bonnabrimhall8080]

What do you mean, “Just stick with us”? DUDE, I’m fully invested!!! I started watching shortly before you bought the château, I’m not going anywhere!!! I do have a question: When you started this project, did you ever in your wildest dream, think you would be this far in such a short amount of time? Keep up the good work! I would love to see you do a Q&A video 😊

That sawdust would make great mulch or fodder for a compost. Hoping growing veg is in the Chateau's future

[@simonemeyer6416]

Fodder for compost yes, in moderation, but mulching around plants is not advised as it'll rob nitrogen from the soil whilst breaking down.... woodchip is a different matter though.

[@Annedallman]

Depending on how it is treated it could be not safe to use for plants for human consumption

[@CH-rg8zp]

@@simonemeyer6416 yes. Like all compost it needs to be mixture of different organics. Much like grass, too much and it will slow decomposition.

I do wish you would all wear back brace belts when doing the heavy lifting. Believe me, from experience, you'll wish you had, down the road.

[@fredbosch5392]

Why not completely build it on the ground (including roofing) and hire a crane for a couple of hours to set it on top.

[@eastafrica1020]

Will not get enough clicks.

[@jelsner5077]

I mentioned that a few weeks ago. Seems like a no-brainer, except the expense of hiring the crane. Maybe French cranes are too expensive?

[@billb5749]

I totally agree, It's been done that way many times.

[@jameslyne9657]

Yes this is the way to do it 100%

[@paulcarfantan6688]

@@jelsner5077 I think there`s also another reason. There seems to be only one entrance to the property and it`s a pretty narrow one, maybe seven or eight feet wide, with stone pillars on each side. I don`t think a mobile crane would fit through there. That sucks. Unless there`s another way to get in but I can`t see one on google maps.

[@CenturyHomeProject]

Your safety comes first. Always! The roof will be done soon.
