How you don’t have millions of subscribers is bizarre as your and Steph’s channels are so freaking amazing to watch the transformation of your respective Chateauxs!!

Passing wood up the chateau from room to room as the great voids disappear. Great thinking ahead to leave gaps in the floors to pass up materials. These gaps, the spacing in the temporary staircase for the cable lift and the exterior lift have shown the thought as well as the brawn and skill needed by Dan and co to get to this stage. The next stages look even more challenging. Can't wait!!!!

Think ahead! Put permanent fall protection anchors before you put that roof on. Not only can you use them to install the roof but people will be able to service exterior areas and just clip in. (Likely you won't see this in a sea of comments)

Yes, I have seen this comment before, about fall protection achors. Perhaps you were the one who suggested it before. Great Idea. I hope Dan sees this. ( I have been following Dan's channel for several years; he does read the comments periodically. He rarely comments on RU-vid with exponential increase in subscribers & comments since last summer. Happy problem!.)

@@shoutatthesky Dan has been using OSB3, which is slightly waterproof. Granted, this part of France gets a ton of rain, as seen in all the Vlogs, and evidenced by the gigantic trees. So, with those types of downpours, the OSB3 will lose its integrity, and he will have to replace some, if not most OSB3 boards, especially those put in first on the right chateau side ( exposed the longest to excess rain.) This issue was a common concern amongst many followers last year. I myself have constantly wondered why he did not place plywood on the 2nd floor/attic floor because the mansard roof structure rests on it. How to replace the OSB3 with stronger floor boards like plywood after he completed the roof structure is a mystery to me.
