Dismantling the GRAND ENTRANCE arched window. 

I know, I was thinking that too 😂

To be fair, he did what safety glasses today. We can't have everything. Apparently.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He does want he wants… Lol

I was thinking the same thing, another way to plunge to his death😮

Certainly he's becoming a production expert!

That's when he's NOT working -- taking a break to be lazy. :]

Just part of a totally professional project, love it , it’s a total joy

It’s amazing how Dan works in scenes with his identical brother occasionally! How come we never hear from that brother? 😮

That's because I asked Dan to give us a birds-eye view (old school term), now "Drone" view of the side of the chateau he was currently working on!

No

Come on folks! Push the button! It is free, it doesn’t hurt!

Yes… though, it is another security gone. He is carrying a lot of heavy stuff, putting relentless effort. This window and barrier was one less occasion to fall. I respect the man, I hope he does not fall. Accidents are always stupide. Et quel temps de brin… cette foutue pluie n’en finira donc jamais? Je suis presque sure que c’est de l’importation de contrebande…😉

​@@7up-dp1kk House isn't secure yet anyway and he lives on grounds. I would imagine he will put some sort of safety measure in.

I am more afraid for the Man falling out than anything else. I feel sympathy for this fine young man.

@@stephjezo6470 He's getting a bubblewrap suit delivered in the next vlog

That concrete balustrade didn’t seem to be adding anything esthetically - much agreed. Also rooting for Dan’s safety 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yes for Sure it’s wonderful to see how much you have done and what you have accomplished. I can’t wait to see the finished subject. Hang in there Dan sprint towards the finish line. It’s in site though still a long way off.

I love noggins eve!💜💜

😂

😭😂

❤❤love the idea noggins eve❤❤

Yeah but Dan doesn't steal from churches.

​@@jmk1962I stopped watching when I read up on what an awful person billy is ..the wife's testimony even said he had no respect for churches so he didn't feel bad about stealing from them

Further to the other comments; Dan would NEVER go AWOL from the Queen’s Guard because he felt picked on. Billy Petherick is a criminal and a coward. Billy Petherick is a complete disgrace to himself and his country.

You've cast that first stone...see where that gets ya.

Joyce, Griffin, and Jmk…I hope you’re never held accountable for the things you’ve done in your past. And I hope Billy never defines who he is according to your criticism…

You can get anti slip paint for that. I use it on my doorstep and outside steps. Cheap as chips, quick to dry, one coat only, doesn't come up or move as tape can. Wears well too.

You forgot the auto catastrophe being stranded on the road being towed and yet He still has managed to motor on!

Remember that vlog where he got stuck in the well?

Just on the top three small windows. Leave the large window for the view.

That’s what I was thinking! Panels of colored/stained glass interspersed with clear in a pattern that mimics some of the red/ cream stone.

Stained glass is quite in the modernist style too.

Why cover up what is probably the best view with stained glass 🤷‍♀️

It truly is amazing

He is so amazing!

I hear early next week electrics going in 😂

Progress will still be slow unless he gets more help. It took him over two months to do the simplest part of the roof. And he's only done the structure. All the slating gutters, lead work, and finals need to be done. There's a huge amount of work still in the roof.

@@PreservationEnthusiast yeh I know, just great seeing it come along, look forward to every instalment! Not sure how the labouring issue is going to get resolved, with more people come more issues.

You definitely don’t understand exceptionality

So so much more to do……So much! But it’s fun to watch !!!!

Full moon over the garden framed by the window space. That would be a shot worth framing - or selling.

​@@michellebyrom6551I agree. I'd like a chance to buy that memorable moonlit garden photo!

Yes, as with the original railing rack!

...or before he falls out of it! LOL!

I don’t think it will ever stop raining for poor Dan 😂

@@Kay-dr9bl dont worry the rain will stop soon... then he will only have to worry about scorching sun, and watering hte plants of course 😁

There would have to be a safety railing on the inside separate from the window.

I agree. Love the open window!

​@@jnagarya519They didn't have modern safety glass when that window was installed. One single pane, or one pane and an arched pane over it would be safe.

@@pdmacguire Depends on the local building code.

This is the toilet wing of the museum & now we've come to the radiator room. Please note the live 3rd story balcony trees planted by, no one🙄

He should build a museum next to the chateau to house all this

A little 1 by 1 meter wooden house with a heart-shaped hole in the door for the white toilet he found upstairs… 🤣

What a dull idea 😂

bits and bobs??

Well he is rebuilding the ruins from scratch...its not like he is taking away valuable tresor from the 19 century! I think personally it will look great,people do renovate old building with modern touches all the time here....as long as we preserve the architecture.

I can think of several frame designs that would look great on the chateau keeping with the theme and still have plenty of clear glass for the view.

The only reason they didn't have large, uninterrupted windows in Chateaus back then is that such large panes of glass were too difficult to make and transport. They would also be several times more expensive, but that would probably count in favor of using them. 'If you have it, flaunt it' was the rule.

I'm pretty sure he told people in a previous vlog not to come.

How is a window "an entry way"??

@@jangriffiths8013 A viking can enter from a balcony if he wants.

@@jangriffiths8013 It isn't to negative people

Hahaha! 🏫 🗡🚶‍♂️

I agree. Just put in a window. Nothing else

It's part of the original build - otherwise you might as well save a ton of bother, level the site and put a row of Barratt starter homes where the chateau once stood. All the architectural features should go back - balustrades, wood panelling, cornices, fireplaces, the whole lot. Otherwise, what's the point? If you want a historic property like this one, it's got to be all in, or nothing. No mods - that was Mironnet's mistake with the place. What looks de rigueur now, will look deeply naff twenty, thirty years down the road. Better to keep it stock original and be the custodian.

@@Idrisbach I hear you, thanks for sharing and I disagree.

​@@Idrisbach No that was retrofitted in when the building was enlarged. One single pane of glass would be amazing

@@pdmacguire When was it enlarged?

Hear hear!

I love the sense of accomplishment I feel without having to lift a finger to do even the non-heavy lifting.

Until he trips and falls out the window

Yes. I like that!

Or thank you Lord for all your blessings!

​@@amandalevy1227I second that!!

We would all love it ( Dan adhere to basic safety standards.) Oh well...Yes, enjoying Dan & team's work.
