One man V chateau roof frame. 

Shout out to the tools sponsors, thanks for helping out our boy, and I hope this sponsorship is paying great dividends for your businesses.

I’m looking forward to the day Dan opens his front door wearing a velvet smoking jacket …A pipe in one hand, and the other hand waving us in to see his masterpiece chateau…in all its glory! 😂😊

Anyone else start checking every day for a new Dan video? I Need my Chaumont Fix.

Dan, as we have always said: "You are the man!" Congratulations!

That lifter! The best tool Dan has ever bought.

Watching you do this framing is like watching an artist perform a masterpiece. Excellent job. Keep going strong!

"went with the logistics of brute force in the end" 😂😂😂😂😅😂 Best line so far !!!!!

I am so impressed with you, Dan. One day, years from now, when this is done and you children are grown, they can watch these videos and they will be so proud of their dad.

I don’t know why I love watching your videos so much but it’s something about watching this ruin come back to life maybe

That cranky thing has certainly served it's purpose throughout this challenging project.

There I am screaming at the TV, "Dude , you got your red lifty thing". And then you realized that you could be using it. I'm an old guy who spent most of his career lifting and carrying...first thing you learn as you age is, "let the tools do the work ".😂

Beautiful work. I can picture your boys waking up in their rooms and looking around thinking... My Dad built this! Proud of their Pa!! Go ahead and brag Dan, I've not seen anyone else do this alone.

I cannot believe the speed at which this roof section is coming together Dan. It's like watching it go up on fast forward.

Your work proves the old saying that 'where there's a will there is a way.' Beautiful work. Pat yourself on the back.

I agree with the other comments, there’s a lot of videos of folks restoring château and farm houses but something about Dan and this one is magical. I think it’s the frequency. Dan puts off can’t exactly explain it. It’s just fun to watch and relaxing. My daughter and I are potters. I think I want to make a cookie jar of the château. 🥰

Hi Dan. My dad is gone now but he would have adored watching you. So when I started watching, it helped me miss him a bit less. I’ve been watching so long now, I realize I’m watching for myself too. Be well. Stay safe. Keep going because it’s been a blessing for people in ways you can’t fathom. ❤

You've become a much more skilled carpenter since this project began

The WOW FACTOR is in full force. When you look at what you accomplish in a days work, "WOW. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS" Congradulations Dan!

Another day, another video of Dan doing the most impressive work on the chateau. Truly hope you remember to give yourself a clap on the back.

OMG Dan, this was edge of your seat stuff. Thank goodness for your lift, such an amazing job!

A day without Dan, is like a day without Sunshine......😊

One man for save one castle, very impressionnant, and you make sport all the day, respect.

It is a privilege to watch you problem solving. You show that with enough thought, anything is possible. Awesome ❤

Experience counts, I can't believe how fast this roof is coming together. Awesome work Dan!

That lifter has been your other helper on this build, your a team, well done, the structure looks so beautiful.

Wow. You must have received a boatload of tools in those boxes. Bless that company! This is so interesting to see how those are put together. That lifter is worth its weight in gold.

Amazing solo feat to build the Mansard roof all by your self.

Amazing accomplishment. Stupendous craftsmanship. The beauty of precision. Such a grand pleasure to witness. Thank you.

That “lifter” doesn’t owe you anything Dan. What an amazing piece of kit. Another fabulous video. Many thanks 😊

How you manage to do this by yourself is amazing. Well done and take care of yourself.

C'est un casse-tête extrêmement bien conçu et réfléchi ! Ce travail gargantuesque mérite amplement une distinction d'artisan de France ! Salutations, mon grand !

The proverbial “eating an elephant!” Delicious for the viewers!!

Up and down thingy!! Once again your technical terms bring a smile to my face. You always have a few seconds of doubt, then you bring it home you make it seem smooth as butter. But I guess it’s all in the editing and so on. You did good.

What an achievement Dan … yet again your meticulous measuring has paid off as the beams slot into place perfectly 👏👏👏👏👏 Well done on your successful lift of the A frame … 👍 I’m one of the people that will remember that you actually did that !!!!!! Brute strength for sure .. Durban SA🇿🇦

i'm baffled by the fact that you can do this all by yourself

I just love it that you have a crack at it first. Brut strength. Then realise you need the big guns for some jobs. So many reno’s out there aren’t doing it themselves. I just love it that you are. ❤🏰👏👏👏

Was anyone else holding there breath while watching Dan lifting the a frames

All of France, UK, and America (and probably more) is with you. Just don't get hurt. Be careful my friend. We're with you!

Ah, the new video, nice, best thing of the day to see Dan at work 😀

Your a MACHINE. !!!!!!!!!!! I look for a new video every morning. Love watching you and your little helpers achieve what a lot if people would say is unachievable. 😊

Ultimate determination here….doing this by yourself. American here, thought since it was the holiday there would be no video. LOL, forgot Dan is not in the US. You are a machine, Dan!! Can’t wait to see you finish the inside when all the outside is complete.

I love starting my day watching Dan & co ❤

I have been impressed with how handy that one tool, the lift, has been. I would also say that the "brute force" was really "mental agility" assisted by your use of the lift, and a willingness to learn.

Where has your little team of supermen gone Dan? I really don't know how you manage these things by yourself! You're incredible!!🎉

I would love to hear what the neighbors think of seeing the progress each day. That would be a dream!

It's because Dan is so lovable, he draws you into his dream and as you watch its as if your helping him, sometimes I get tired trying to hold a beam for him or push something into place then I realise I'm just watching he's doing the work

Sometimes I think you really like working alone, and you accomplish so much. Way to go Dan.

There are times when you just need to do something by yourself. It brings a special kind of satisfaction. Nevertheless you DO have some very worthy work-mates who are fiercely loyal to you and the project. SEE YOU tomorrow!

Фантастика,крыша растет,браво!

I call this the work of Hercules. Truly incredible. You sound philosophical despite the hard labour involved.

Astounding that 1 man raised that roof on his own. I think one reason we love this channel is that it has an element of danger and suspense--just like a great novel!

It’s a thing, a beautiful thing. So good to see this moving along so quickly. Way to go Dan. 😊

One man show-niiiiiice! Like old times, haha! You're faster now though, since you've done it all on the other side. Must feel good to have that efficiency.

Glad you got good weather to wrestle with the A Frames!!!

The amount of work you can accomplish in 1 day is stunning

You knocked it out of the park today. Congratulations!!

No pain no gain! Dan you are in the process of a miracle roof epic. It is unbelievable what you have achieved. Hope you slept well and leapt out of bed this morning ready for the last bits of the A frame structure. Wonderful to watch❤❤👏👏👌👌👌

It's going to be really exciting, once it's a building again, to see it slowly become livable again. Once it's got a roof and windows and is sealed up, the interior restoration work can begin!

Impressive accomplishment on your own Dan - good lessons throughout for others undertaking a similar project. Your joinery is equally impressive.

A triumph of design, skill, engineering and brute force. What dogged persistence in achieving this Dan. Well done. A legend.

You're right, "its a thing !" Awesome that you could do all of that on your own. Can't wait for tomorrow.

In all these months that lifter has proven to be Dan's most faithful friend. From bottom to top literally.

❤looks wonderful. And we all sure appreciate the work put into that frame.👌

After lifting all those heavy beams for a year and something, I’m amazed you don’t have muscles on your muscles😂 well done that looked incredibly hard work

That's quite a good level of skill to make such a pro-looking a-frame with mortise & tenon, and then get it to fit so well, with just a person doing it.

Did everyone scream at the screen when that second frame fell over ??? Oh My Goodness. You know when Dan takes his shirt off, IT'S GAME ON !!! IT FIT - IT FIT !!!! YAY, Well Done Dan.

Count me in every day. Can’t believe Dan all y his self doing this . But we all se him doing it over and over.

I did have to laugh at the decision of brute force .Dan you must be exhausted at the end of the day .😮

Dan....you are amazing....you always figure the most difficult things out. Well done!!

Dan you're like Superman doing what you do by yourself. I kept telling you to use the LIFT and you finally did and it made the lifting so much easier getting them into place!

Unbelievable you are able to make everything fit correctly on the roof. Also unbelievable you are able to put it together by yourself......A Subscriber

Nothing short of incredible! Well done Dan!

i recognize the " i will get this done by hook or crook" mentality and i applaud you Sir!..sheer willpower and...well you know!...Work safe!

Getting the whole A-frame up on your own is insane. You're doing an awesome job, Dan!

You are truly amazing Dan, to do all that roof section by yourself! You deserve a gold medal. We love all your videos and long may they continue.

Here is a tip. When pulling frames together don't drill straight through the joint. Drill through the mortised area, put the tenon in and mark it with a pencil then remove and adjust the centre about 3/32" closer to the shoulder of the piece and drill it. Put a good chamfer on your treenails then assemble and drive them home. That small offset will bring the joint in tight as a drum and will not loosen as the assembly dries. I would bet that is how every joint in the original work was done.

You nearly had it when you started to loose control of the second section Dan. But in true form you beat it and got that part assembled. I’ve enjoyed watching the progress of your work. It has amazed me seeing how quick you have learned this build so far. Plus all of your friends help has been a blessing to say the least.

Amazing what you can accomplish with the proper tools...

Love it Dan - just love it - especially your utter joy with your tremendous effort - all on your own-some 🤩

Was watching a movie with the wife. I said brake time so i can watch this first.

Love the cat clock out there on a build site. Classic.

As a construction professional, I am very impressed with the one man effort. Not many would attempt that. A word of caution though...I you slip and get hit with one of those heavy timbers, who is going to call for help. At about 5:20 I was getting quite concerned, and was relieved when you hauled out the winch lift. Even if their only job is to have a cell phone in hand, a second person on site is a good idea. Really hoping to see you finish this in a year or so.

Thanks for the birthday gift Dan, I'm really enjoying the progress your making on Lady Chateau, she's going to be a beauty. We all wish you the best. I have to admit, those rock walls up on the upper story, make me nervous when your working below them. Be safe.

Bro, don’t hurt yourself. The pain of losing time to an injury is the worst kind. Love that lifter! It’s your best friend right now!

You are the best builder ever!👍👍👍

Your ingenuity is top notch, Dan. Some very fine work.

You’re an amazing young man! So many skills & such determination. You really put everything you’ve got into this project. Glad to see you succeed one more time again! Hope you get helpers again soon.

I’m amazed at what Dan can get done on his own. Dan the one-man army. Work goes faster with your friends helping. But there are times when you just need to do somethings by yourself. It brings a special kind of satisfaction. Calvin, Nick and Brian will be pleased with the work you have done here. Can't wait to see all the gang together again. Happy 4th

Yes. It is a thing. Quite a thing. Looking so good!

That little lifty gadget is so cool. You figured out a way to get it done on your own!! Impressive! Wtg!!👏🌟

Some one is definitely feeding Dan some proper nutrition now!!! Looking great whilst rebuilding this castle buddy!!!

You’re doing great Dan. Please can you get yourself a smart watch that sends an alert if you fall, we worry when you’re on your own🥰

"Up and downy thingy" - love those technical terms 🤣 But seriously, well done Dan. Thant's an amazing achievement in one day by yourself. Love it when a plan comes together.

He's really good at math geometry and heights something I'll never be good at

Out of all then videos I watch I always watch this one last as it sets me up for the day. Yes, I have been holding my breath again but I figure if there is a video posted then all is well. How elegantly done Dan. Love the clock. Cat must be proud of you with this momentous step in getting the roof up. Yay! Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩

stunning progress. Not sure how many workplace safety rules may have been broken, but - I won't tell.... well done

You are the champion of building thingies!

It's like GIANT JENGA or lego..... well done Daniel. I wonder if the French have a 'Contribution to architectural heritage' award..... I would definitely grant you that for your efforts. Amazing....what a hero!!! xxx

You are one clever man every one needs a Dan 😊xx

I’m proud of u Dan. Being disabled I’ve had to figure how to do things on my own. If u need assistance don’t be afraid to ask though.❤ we love u and don’t want to see u get hurt.
