I noticed in the rubble opposite the stairs, there is a shutter that looks like it would have worked perfectly. It even has braces on it, that could catch on the stairs to keep it from sliding down! Yes that wheelbarrow Tire needs air
even though it was the most simple ramp possible, just taking one run to get to the top saved you time and energy.....I rebuilt the whole interior of a 100 year old house by myself, I tried to work smart not hard, and in many cases used ramps, levers , pullies ...I called it working like and thinking like the Egyptians who built the pyramids . Worst thing that can happen to you is getting injured by cutting safety corners while you are alone. Cheers Dan
Oh Dan you crack me up.... that ramp....yay!!!! And yes that "scab" was satisfying! Happy birthday Jack. Thanks for sharing a bit of your special day with all of us. 🎂🎈🥳
For goodness sake dear Dan Followers, GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!! He is a grown up - he has read the comments; don’t keep on at him. He will learn from his mistakes (as we all have). He does what he can afford! He works the way he has chosen too. Peace ✌🏽 🌹🇳🇿
You’re right -Dan is a man of his own means and quite independent but I was wondering what happened to his friend Calvin who had plans to help. Maybe I missed that??
The sad thing is I think he doesn’t read most of the comments. I have stopped watching as often as there are other You Tubers who appreciate their subscribers and at least answer them.😢
The vicarious feeling of acheivement with every barrow out. Its amazing what you have done, alone. The boys are big. When we first met them, in the Lalande days, they were so small. Time!
Put a large tent in the basement for your bed and a tarp as a ceiling over other stuff. Chateau de Montmayer lived in a tent for 9 months and are doing so again.
Its hard work but you are achieving so much Dan, great when you have the solar up and running to be able to use better tools etc. The family are looking so well and the boys growing up quickly. 💕🇦🇺
To be honest Dan I really think a small cabin on the property would make far more sense. The birthday party was absolutely wonderful and those are truly the moments that life is for.
I love Annalise's hair , it really suits her. She's such a stunningly beautiful woman, with a kind heart and keen intelligence. Great video, the progress on the Chateau is encouraging, I admire how you are making the best out of having to wait at least 2 months before being able to start the big build.
Toujours étonnée que personne ne vienne te filer un coup de main ! Tout seul, nettoyer ce sous-sol est long ! Mais ça avance bien 👍🏻💪🏻 !! Super gâteau 🎂 d’anniversaire ! À bientôt ! 🌸🌸🌸
Have a great birthday to Jack! Very foggy there. I hope you save and restore those lovely doors Dan. So much fun to follow your progress. All the best! The ramp is much better and it looks like the tire needs a little air in it. Wow the concrete is very unstable and like a scab for sure! lol
Good morning team ❤ Happy birthday Jack P 🎊🎉🎈 Hope you had a fantastic day … One spade full at a time is one less 😅 The rubble in the background is that the inside of the Château😱🥺😬 Isn’t it amazing how only a little a day is returning this magnificent ruin back into a Beautiful Chateau God about now I wished I didn’t live 11,777 + miles from France … I’d offer my free slave labour to help dig 😁 See you tomorrow ❤
So satisfying watching that plaster just peel away! Having just spent 3 days removing concrete from stone (only about 4 square meters) this was just brilliant. Happy re pointing 😊
Happy Birthday to Jack! Watchin you and other chateau owners working so hard makes me wish I could turn back time - I love all this work you are doing!
You have a good eye, Dan. Always a remarkable cinematic experience watching your videos. And a remarkable ear for music and mood. To think I went to film school for that.
Yay! Ramp. Happy birthday to your Jack. He must be a big boy now. You have done heaps. Look at the rubble pile. That tells you how much you have done. You have little beauties. May you please take care and stay safe.
Having a wonderful active RU-vid channel it comes with a huge peanut gallery of Mom's and Dad's worried about your safety! 💙 . Re wheel barrel ramp ! !!!!
I always get a laugh out of some quip in your videos Dan! You are definitely making progress and don’t you wish you could fit a small machine in the basement to scoop up all that material in a flash? I bet! Happy special birthday Jack. 🎁🎉🎈🎂🍰
Lovely to your little family again and Annalise, Hope Jack P had a really special day, all go on the solar for today hope you get it all together and light up that Monumental Lady!! Take care and look after yourself.
Dan, Dan, harder to push a wheelbarrow when the tire is low, believe me, I have tried!! Happy Birthday Jack!!! So glad you got the Ecoflow, it will help in the process of renovation of your Chateau.
Hope you have some help lined up for the solar panels. Jack is 5 - oh wow so much time has passed since I first starting following your channel. He’s such a sweet boy. It’s nice you and Annalise had a party for him together. Much love to Jack P.!
I think you have to do something about that poor tyre Dan it would help your back and you have enough problems having to push the wheel barrow upwards. You must be exhausted. That was lovely celebrating Jacks birthday, a lovely cake. Happy Birthday Jack!
That's a lot of work for one person, rope in a couple of friends and have a rubble party - whoever shifts the most rubble gets small cheese and wine prize! Happy cake day Jack.
What in the world are people going to comment on now that you have a proper wheelbarrow ramp? Maybe that you could some air in the wheelbarrow tire now? 🎉 🎂🎈🎁 Happy Birthday Jack P!
You know we love your content Dan but I have to say you're sharp....editing top notch sound effects wow finding that perfect angle of sun/fog. Your videos are so good I watch them over again just to savour those fleeting moments of genius 👍👍👍👍
Happy birthday Jack! You are just the sweetest!! You are doing a good job Dan, with all of the things you got going on your life! You can see the fruits ☺️
Hey Dan, She sure looked ethereal in the fog... wow! Have you considered mounting the solar panels on a high stand-alone mount, facing solar south, on the Chateau grounds? Off the building, yet safe and secure. Happy birthday Jack P!!🎂🎈🦕🎁 Cheers from "across the pond"🇨🇦
Crikey 🎉 happy 5th birthday time does fly ❤ . Getting slowly clearing Dan the man well done you on the new improvised wheelbarrow ramp 😂 works a lot better and safer. Loved watching 👀 see yer tomorrow x
I've watched your channel since you bought the chateau. Seen your work with Stephanie. I really want to see you succeed, but I wish you had some help in the cleanup.
Looks like JP had a great 5th Birthday 🎉 Well done Mum and Dad 😊 Can’t wait to see how the solar works out. Also would love to hear your plans for waterproofing the floor you’re currently clearing. So good to see progress on this Big beautiful project.
You’re doing a great job clearing out that basement! Sure there’s lots left, but look how quickly you’re getting it gone! And Happy Birthday to Jack! You have a couple of lovely boys!. 🥰
Dan, your eyes are positively glowing for several minutes of the video. Are you going feral on us? What a lovely party for Jack P.! Your boys are precious. Enjoy them at this age - it goes so very, very quickly. ❤
This video just popped up again several months on and wow, the château has already come on so much. The first shot of the track compared with the drive as it looks at the moment!
I bet you are getting wicked strong from all this labor… more importantly the boys are super cute and Happy 🎉5th Birthday to cutie cuteness Jack it’s was a treat to see the beautiful Annalise 😊
Happy Birthday to Jack!🎂 Glad to see things moving along. Did you notice that the tire on your wheel barrel needs air? It may be easier to get up that ramp with a little shot of air in the tire??? Get a Velcro back brace for days like this when you're putting a lot of strain on your back!! Take it from someone who didn't take it seriously and ended up with 3 herniated discs!! Once that happens it difficult to get back in the saddle without a lot of pain! Just saying!! 🤫🤔
Dan, I hope you can get to a point in the not too distant future where you can stay at the chateau and not an Airbnb. All that extra money saved on temporary housing, plus the time and the gas cost of traveling back and forth, will be fantastic.
Now that the ramp is in place, all you need is a bit of air in the wheelbarrow 😂 You are putting so much work in, you deserve all the help you can get to make it easier.
