Discovering the top of this chateau. 

As a staircase manufacturer its way to early to introduce a finished piece of joinery ,the dampness will destroy it and as it drys out when you finally get heating on it will shrink and creak .. Build some temporary stairs for access till the building is at least sealed .. Love the channel 👌

If you make the roofs now in the spring/summer you will have a sort of winterproofed Chateau by winter, and you can start with restoration inside! Do the roof Dan, it will go so much faster!

OH, Cat how marvelous to see you at another Chateau! you are another ray of undiluted sunshine.

Lovely to see Kat assisting today, getting stuck in, using tools etc. Go Kat!

Having restored a Victorian house, mostly on my own, I totally understand the overwhelm of one huge job after another. Don’t burn out, there are plenty of smaller jobs to do, pace yourself. The progress you’ve made to date is extraordinary, take time to enjoy your achievements x

A day is NOT complete without another Video from Dan and the Chateau rebuild...

Getting the entire chateau roofed in would mean so much for build progression. Dan wouldn't have any more wasted days due to rain. Finally he could get work done on the interior even with bad weather.

I bet you never thought you'd be going INSIDE the Chateau to shelter from the weather.. great job Dan.. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I love these videos. No long musical intro with a drone shot of a sunset, just straight into the work and updates on how it's gunna go. Much love from Iowa, USA.

We never get tired of watching this amazing project develop.

Guess we're going to once a week vids? That's OK as they're always filled with great shots and good news. Like the stair mfr. wrote, if you want to make them before the chateau is sealed they should be temporary. I totally get the desire to have them, but what he wrote is totally true!

Great seeing Kat! Love the part where she is smiling so sweetly at Dan and when she wishes her dad Happy Birthday. ❤ Fabulous progress being made on the chateau. All that new equipment must be a godsend. ❤

Dan, so great to see Kat helping out. Board lifting and noggin cutting. Happy Birthday!

I knew Nick was not there when I saw that you aren't wearing safety glasses, Dan.

Love your videos, I'm not going to lie I miss the daily videos!

Hi, Cat! So glad to see you helping out Dan the Man. A great team!

OH! And Happy Birthday, Dan! So looking forward to stairs in the Chateau.

I think it is a grand idea to let us contribute to various things for the Chateau. Slate for the roof, paint for the interior walls, plants for outside and more. That way instead of just watching we can feel like we are really part of this wonderful building! Just my humble opinion.....

For you, this side of the roof is no where near such a daunting task. You’ve completed your roof apprenticeship. You’ve done the calculations. This next roof side will be a lot easier for you. Look how quickly you’ve erected the flooring on this side of the building with lessons you’ve learnt, and your mind’s ability to streamline the processes. Extraordinary Dan. I think you will surprise yourself and enjoy the crafting of the roof this time. Be very, very proud of your accomplishments. 😁

KAT is in the Chateau!🎉 The NOGGIN GIRL!! Go Kat.

Dan the Man and Cat women! What a great team! It looks like Kat really enjoys working atthe chateau!

Best to do the roof sooner rather than later while the other side is still fresh in your mind.

The feeling of not having updates everyday is something close to abstinence

Well, the looks of your helper has certainly improved...dramatically! You can now rightfully claim to have a lovely assistant.

I think you could take a little time to reflect upon the massive accomplishments you have made in this rebuild! Fantastic! 🥰🥰🍷🍷

Nice to see Kat there helping. Love her. ❤

Dan, you just lost your Chop Saw to Kat. Kat, love to see you on the channel, taking over the work like a boss. (your hair and overalls are super cute too.....)

Glad to see you graduated to an angle grinder to do the final touches on the beams. That must be saving you hours!

Kat,😎 you are rocking those overalls. 😂

If anyone can do it. You can Dan! There's also a lot of knowledge, skill & wisdom in your fans. Glad to see gorgeous Kat helping you again. You got this Kat! Not everyone is as crazy as Dan to hang off bloody buildings.🤣 Love ya.❤

I love seeing Kat working. She’s such a help, and her personality is so fun. Good job, both of you!

I don't know what Nick's been doing.But he's doing things right because he's looking so much better these days and oh boy.His coveralls just fit so nicely

Happy to see Cat! Miss you from the other chateau, this one just has more ventilation! Happy birthday Dan!

Don't ever stop, and keep going. Rebuilding the chateau is an inspiration to so many people!

This project is unbelievable. Your enthusiasm, ambition and grit is off the charts! Sure wish you used safety glasses and ear plugs though, it is painful to watch you cut, grind and chip without!

*Love* that girl!! That smile!! Cat you are a sight for sore eyes!! ❤❤❤

Kat adds some glamour. Loved seeing her use the power saw. Happy birthday Dan! Staircase then roof will be great. Be ready for slating by Autumn!

What a sweet helper, we love you Kat

One of your subscribers says beautifully the day it’s not completed without video from Dan and that why I was glue to the screen watching you every day I miss that. Can you work on something for us this week and saw you once you are inspiration you are put us every day to watch you do admire you. Please work on something for us, do not have anything from Château for several days. It’s not working for me and I’m sure other people miss you too.

Highlight of my day.

Hey! YT suggested your 300 days video and then I had to binge the entire series in 3 days! Loving the work and love the team! Keep up the great work.

And the numbers SKYROCKET with Kat smiling at the camera/Dan. 😁

Ok, who else catches themselves watching the same and latest vid for the 2nd and even 3rd time???? 😮😮 I need my fix!

Happy birthday dad! Cheers!

I like your new helper; she improves the chateau's appearance by just being there.

Absolutely love seeing you guys together

I love watching your building grow. I'm glad you have kept up the vision to follow thru with your plan!

I really like this gal, helping with the work. That’s cool. In reading the comments it seems people like nosing in about kids and romance. I find all that none of my business.

I'm just so happy to see you, Kat. It worries me so much when Dan is there alone. Be happy.

One of the best renovation programs I have ever viewed, great work, can't wait for each new video.

The geometry and not falling is EXHAUSTING!

Dan, have the roof done that way you don’t have to worry about rain inside the chateaux…everything will dry properly by the time you get to the interiors….my humble opinion ❤

Dan, you said there is a lot to look forward to in the coming months. Well sir, I must say, each new video release has been something to look forward to. Bit by bit. Floor by floor. Continued best of luck!

It is truly exciting to see how far you have come.

Ok, here's my comment that covers 75% of the comments here. Cat, it's spelled with a 'C', wished her DAD a happy birthday. Dan's bday is in December. She isn't his wife. Dan's never been married. They know each other from when Dan worked as a gardener at Château de Lalande and she was a volunteer. And no, he can't attach a drill to his lifter because it has a safety mechanism that locks if it goes too fast. And lastly, if safety is of utmost importance to you, you're on the wrong channel 😂

Been watching the channel since I found it on you tube. And gone back and watched some of the older episodes. Don’t miss an episode. Great work Dan keep it going.

Hi. Dan. Kat. Is such a beautiful caring person. And great. Helper we love you kat God bless you

It was so great to see Kat! Come back more Kat! Dan, you are really moving around fast! When the second roof is on everyone will “sigh” with you! See you next Vlog!

Awesome job. Thanks for taking me along .

Awesome work Dan! Glad you had some help!!

Ah the tension between the mind of a man and the mind of woman. Glad you left your explaining to her what to do and in her explaining her feeling receiving your frustration at trying to explain. Thank you, good update!

Another floor,that was fast. Glad to see Kat , and you put her to work, great team.

Happy Birthday Dan and as always it's great to watch the progress on your chateau.

Just Beautiful!! Thank you 😊

Using great machines is much easier on the back than lifting tiles. Good demo there Kat. Don't mind us, we just hang out on the other side of the camera appreciating the great work.

I know exactly how Cat was feeling with your instructions, but Cat did amazing. 👏 Hopefully, we get to see Cat some as the renovations move forward.

Can't wait to see the stairs and roof on. Love watching your progress.

Well done Cat, an excellent pair of hands. Keep it up gal’ lovely seeing your there helping Dan. Brilliant teamwork 👍👍

1:47 yeah! Cat is back! Hope she stays around!

Oh Cat the gorgeous muscles you are going to get. If you two can survive building the chateau you can weather anything. Bet when you were dreaming about being a princess when you were a little girl you never thought you would have to build your own castle. 😂

So much progress, very exciting. Love all your helpers. Hi Cat!

Happy birthday Dan! Every little job gets you one step closer to the finished product.

DAN, working Smarter now; not harder!!

Even with all the work to be done, the lighting in the chateau is so lovely

Happy birthday, Dan! And yes, rain is good on your birthday. I'm happy to see you are not alone and so happy to see you get to the top!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN Good to see Kat helping you, I love listening to her voice. Massive progress!!!!

Happy birthday Dan, great to see Kat back, you make an awesome team 😊

Happy Birthday, Dan and so glad to see Kat, you are looking great!

Always hanging out waiting for your videos Dan. Amazing work.

I am stunned at how quick you have reached the top again!

It's always a learning experience. The new equipment is a huge help.

I love seeing Kat's beautiful self. Yay for friendships!!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!

Absolute beauty the two of you working together building your home.

Happy birthday Dan🍾 Super, super awesome that Cat is giving a hand. See you next time👋🏽

Hey, Dan, if you had let us pay for some spring bulbs, your daffodils and tulips would be coming up now. So many of us would love to help with specific projects rather than just contribute to the general fund. Won’t you please let us buy slates.? It would be so nice to be able to think I had purchased 10 slates for your roof. 😊

Happy Birthday Dan!!!! Make your wishes come true and easy and smooth work on your Chateau Project!

Great progress Dan! Great job Kat! 😊. Love the updates!

Some lead roll will stop the roof / wall plate leaking Dan. Probably what the zinc sheet was used for on the side that you are on now

Wow Dan I cannot believe how much you are getting done now when I think back to when you first started work on the Chateau and so much to do before you could even think of putting in floors and roofs and now you are talking about a staircase Well Done. Hello Kat so lovely seeing you working with Dan, I have seen you on Stephanie Channel.

Hey Kat! So glad to see you helping your man.❤

Happy birthday Dan! Always good to see Cat!

Good to see you Kat! 😊 I was happy to hear you call Dan out on his “mansplaining” on how you should sit on the very dangerous beam. 😂 You go Kat!!!

Lovely to see Kat! What a team!

Great progress and great to see Kat lending a hand, she certainly gets stuck in when called upon. It’s good to see longer blogs too. Fantastic work again. Can’t wait for the next one.

Always great to see Kat! Dan, your progress is amazing. A staircase sounds like a very positive addition.

Glad to see Cat again 😀 you are now moving at some pace Dan 😂 a staircase!!!!! OMG how exciting 🤩🎉 Many happy returns Dan 🎉🥳🍷

Haha! Dan's birtday is december 12! Cat is helping Dan and that's great! Love her. Great progress again.💋

Another great team ... bravo ... and 🎉 Happy birthday Dan x
