Absolutely amazing foresights and incredible dream. God bless men who still have huge dreams . You are an encouragement to this next generation coming up. Your craftsmanship on everything you do is exceptional. You are not satisfied until you accomplish your mission . The men you have helping you are cut from the same cloth . God bless you all and keep you safe . Dream big Dan . 👍🙏🏻😎

Is it wrong that I watch these over again and recommend to family and watch again with them? I used to think my old rusted ashtrap in my 1923 home was daunting. Then I watched one of these vids....I was like: "pffft...that guy in France is putting in girders and floors with the other guy...I can do this.....right? " , (I asked my cat..he had no words)...anyway, the ashtrap is gone - wall is bricked up and sealed and painted. This project had been haunting me for 8 years. I am going to plan and execute repointing my original steps with lime-rich morter. Because of this channel. Dan and Nick change lives. ❤

Someone else may have already suggested this - but the mysterious vents up the side might be a fresh air supply for the fireplaces and chimneys to work properly. Just a thought.

Dan, when working with lime you should wear gloves and safety glasses. It's really detrimental to your skin and can hurt your eyes!

passive heat is a must but specifically as you widen or install maintenance path ways investigate the merits of mechanical concrete...these path ways and work ways are the life blood of maintaining gardens and grow beds the rubber tires are free and filling them with rubble allows water filtration systems to cisterns as an integral part of site stability theyare cheap and exceptionally reliable! so as the estate is easily accessible by gator or golf carts the food forest can thrive and ponds fountains and pools are easilly fitered by remore fountains and irrigation becomes a viable choice! it is at this stage the ruble can be easily re-tasked

When you are raising boards and beams, try using a G clamp and a rope. I think it will be safer.

How is it you can do , have the talent to do anything from gardening to rebuilding a house and NOW a derelict chateau. How do you know what has to be built first? Are you also a carpenter…? Or just a practical man, that can tackle anything. Cheers to you…ps, what are your dogs called?🇨🇦

The little green bottle is an Italian cologne by Pino Silvestre. It is shaped like a like a pine cone. The one you found has a green cap. The older ones had a brown cap. I remember my father wearing it and he is in his 80’s now. Clearly a cologne used by European men. The cologne is still available as we have bought it for our father for Christmas or his birthday. It’s about $40.00. You should try to find it and wear it as paying homage to the previous owners. It has a very masculine woodsy-like scent which would suit you well. I hope this information helps. Good luck to you!

Hey Dan, I noticed in a passing glimpse that the Chateau had wonderful chimney pots in it's earlier life. I hope it's a detail not to be overlooked when the chimneys are done. Mark & Scott

My dude! You need to wear a dust mask when getting nonorganic like stone/brick dust airborne. Silicosis is a deadly way to go for your lungs.
