That's now 3 1/2 years ago and currently Dan is working miracles at this old chateau, having restored almost all of the floors and going to rebuild the roof over the next weeks. Seeing this early video is even more exiting, when you know how far he has come with making this dream come true. And the kids grew up so fast!!!

@bobby6308 4 месяца назад

like you ive only justwatched this vid. ive been watching since the first day of clear out, i would love to know how much this chateau cost Dan?

I watched the whole abandoned chateau playlist and while waiting for the next episode, found this old gem. So cool to witness your first visit to this chateau!

@lesliebrannon2191 4 месяца назад

Yeah am doing the same, just wondering if there's more video's of when they first moved in. From living in caravan to moving in and then main part of the house.

Same here. Just recently came across a Chateau video and I was memorized. Instantly subscribed and have binge watched every Chateau video among others. Can't wait for the next release.

Been watching the progress on the chateau for a while now and just found this one. I love the channel and the progress. But that brings the question that maybe I shouldn't ask but want to make sense of as my spouse problem may well be the same but only many years more since the break up. What was the problem that made them separate? I'm just trying to get a handle on it that would make sense of it. I fully understand the stress on Dan, being away from his boys that much, been there myself. My son is grown now with 2 boys of his own.

@@frankwurth5375 Apparently infidelity on Dan's part with a women called Cat at the Le lande Chateau . He was working there as a gardener. Had to watch a myriad of videos and read comments to get to the bottom of the problem. Very sad.

@frankwurth5375 4 месяца назад

@@maureensutton1365 Thanks for the update. I watched a few of those videos from then and yes the gals there were more than a bit flirty. Shame that the kids have to suffer. On my X, she decided that her new supervisor at the office she worked at, was a better lover than me and took off to another state for 17 years to be his side piece! Totally didn't expect or even bring myself to believe it for too long before the reality sunk in.

We need to encourage more boys to grow up and be like Dan before our world falls apart. Hardly anyone knows how to fix anything anymore. And he's there for his lovely wife and kids. The biggest problem with the kids here in the US are so many fathers are not in the home to help raise the kids. The balance of mother and father is more crucial than many realize.
