Welcome back to the chateau! In this week's vlog, I finally received a quote for the roof, and the cost is shockingly high and not at all what I expected. Join me as I navigate this unexpected challenge and discuss my next steps.
Also this week, a visit to “The House of Fish”, a garden transformation and a visit to a French voting facility with my neighbors!
Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more updates on our renovation journey!

I agree the roof quote seems awfully high. He saw a woman, American, who doesn't know much about how much things should cost in France. Definitely get another quote or two. To me pressure to sign right away is a big, big red flag.

@@sarahmiller5632 That's depends of her financial situation. We just redone the roof of our house. Having 3 prices is the best. For each of them, let them talk and explain what they are proposing for their price. Make sure they place a protection (it's call a "membrane" in French, I am French) directly on the wood before the tiles. So you can compare between them. Some of them can be really dishonests on their prices. Do not gave them money (or a deposit) before the work is completely done (and well). This is my best advice, you pay them when the roof is finish. Its your condition.

On the roof: 1. For a serious roofer here in France you have normally a delay of between 6-8 months before the work starts. In some regions a year. 2. 12.6k for cleaning and minor repair is quite steep. 3. I have had redone my roof here in Luberon, might be 1/3 to half of yours. For your house I estimate 70-100k for a new roof at best. This is always one of the problems with old properties here in France, if the roof had not been renovated within the last 20 years, add 25% of your purchase price to get it done.

In the US a roofer would have sent a drone to take pics and measurements. Slate roofs are extremely expensive. No way to evaluate the repair proposal without knowing exactly what will be done. In any event, I would make sure to get references and also check with the building authority (I do not know what is the appropriate agency in France) for which permits are required for repairs of this type of roof, and whether you roofer is appropriately licensed and insured. (20+ yrs experience as insurance adjuster :)

Years ago I had a large pond on my property. We got koi, which we enjoyed a great deal. Neighbors recommended we plant water lilies and other plants so the koi have a place to hide from predators. You may want to inquire about predators and, also, about transition to wintertime. Of course in a pond they have more protection and the temp varies as opposed to a concrete or stone vessel.

One day they were trimmed and it was amazing. They looked like an entirely different tree and beautiful. Fish for the pond are perfect, but does France have racoons or similar critters?

Hello, Abby, it’s great to see you back in France, though I did enjoy your last couple of posts from the US. The fountain looks fantastic as does the field. Do you have landscaping plans for that area? I’m sure you know how fortunate you are to have people who continue working in your absence. The cottage floor looks to be coming along really well. If the chimney is unused, it might be easiest to remove it rather than repair it? I’ve a question about the shutters: how does one close them from within? Is there a tool of some sort to reach out and “grab” something on the shutter to pull it closed? Merci et à la prochaine!
@chateauchronicles
@chateauchronicles 8 дней назад
Yes, they close from the inside. Most have a handle that you grab to pull them in and a hook to lock them. They also all have hooks on the outside to secure them in the open position. That gives me an idea for a vlog segment...😉

Perhaps the roofer was trying to get it done since most of France is on holiday in august- just a thought

I love hearing the water falling in the fountain, which is very therapeutic. I understand that waterlilies do not thrive in moving water. Just check that out before investing. What happened to the other fish you released into the water near the cave?. The roofer is definitely a cowboy ( what's that in french?). Your strimmer hunk is doing a great job, It's going to be glorious.❤

You should have your French guy get the quotes. That's outrageous.

As Barley Straw slowly breaks down it ferments and releases a natural extract that can help keep your water clean & clear. Aquatic Barley Straw Bales offer a slow-releasing compound that can keep your water clear & balanced naturally.

So - I walked into a shop to pick up a bass guitar I had had refinished, and the guy behind the counter says, "OMG! When you walked in I thought you were a person whose RU-vid channel I watch all of the time!". So I looked you up. ;) Hello! I'd attach a photo if I knew how. If you are curious I'm fairly easy to find online or on facebook. I'm a musician in Florida. I'm sure some photos make us look more alike than others, but I see it ... a little. Anyway, I'll check out your channel! Have a great day! Elizabeth Roth

Are you thinking of putting some plants in the fountain for the fish to hide under? So lovely the fountain is now. Gorgeous🙂

You were wise to say "it's a no go" Abby. By all means get some more quotes and references. I'm a widow and I needed new fencing...got 3 quotes and went with the people had great references (not relatives) and it was almost half the cost of one of the quotes prior. The fence is still standing strong and it's been 3 years with no sign of it falling down...lol. I'm praying you get 'just the right person' to do this.

I think you should look for another roof quote from somewhere else. But the fact that he said clean the roof and a few shingles repaired means that the roof is in good shape. Maybe also find someone who could cut some small pieces somewhere else. But I know there is prob not alot to choose from. Glad your back with your puppy. The outdoors is looking great!! Best.
