The mansard roof frame starts to take shape. 

My heart stopped when the first amount of wooden beams almost catapulted him down the staircase

03:09 ... who else's heart just leaped into their throat right here. Whew😮😨😰

Buddy, you made me holler for the first time at the TV!!!! 'NO DAN!' Can we all praise the Lord for you not going down with all that lumber!!!! Dan's guardian angel is working OT.

I am so thankful for the tool company that has gifted you the tools that have made your job so successful and able to do your jobs so successful.

Here we go again. I don't know who is more excited,Dan putting up the next new roof or us viewers watching Dan putting it up.

What I truly love about this channel is there is no” todays sponsor is NordVPN” bullshit. It’s just pure passion and for me meditation. Dans ability to work,film,edit, storytelling is a work of art. Legend!

It’s amazing what you are able to do by yourself. Bravo, Dan.

Dan's filming and editing skill's are as incredible as his building skills. To see the cloud's in the sky go by as Dan works... Neither relent, Neither stop. Amazing.

Once I see a new video is available, I grin from ear to ear until several minutes after the video ends. I really love Dan and his chateau.

Dude singlehandedly is building the roof on a castle. What a chad.

Bet your maths teacher would be proud of you! x

How in the world did the original builders build such a gigantic structure without all your special cutting tools, wrenches, building supply businesses close by, boxes of screws and nails, precise measuring devices, and perhaps no architectural design? It boggles the mind! Simply mind blowing!

It's unbelievable how quickly the walls to support the roof are going up and how little adjustment is needed to match the other side. That's a testament to the level of craftsmanship that is goung into the rebuilding of this beautiful chateau. Rock on!

This is how a man deals with a housing crisis. Courage, self belief and a can do attitude.

You're finding out exactly how good this old ma'am's bones really are!

I am so excited! And my personal dream is to see the château with no greenery growing out of it 😊…I cannot wait!

I applaud anyone who builds roofs because I could never, I’m far too afraid of heights.

A one man whirling Dervish... unbelievable progress! Dan, be careful up there on your own... get the lads back!

Roof time; almost as good as Noggin time!

Your positive can do attitude is an example to us all.

Have you ever considered how many trips up ladders you make, how many noggins you have made, how much cement you have mixed, how much wood you have bought up to the floors, the amount of metal..the amounts must be incredible..but it's getting you there..what an incredible journey..so proud of yiye achievement ❤

Does anyone else see the irony that the castle burned but Dan is constantly fighting rain? Nice work Dan.

I LOVE that you are able to use the old shutters. With the timbers in above, and you standing on the floor, it really looks to be on the way! Fabulous work, Dan!! 🎉

Two weeks? I'm sure you're going to have that up in a week and a half because you're just that good! Incredibly proud of you over and over again every single video just more proud!

Big smiles at seeing the roof's framing going up. Its a good day! 😊

Thanks for drone shots. It makes more sense now.

I think you need to be awarded an Honorary Engineering Degree Dan..... how pracical and clever are you. Well done..... onward and upward. xxx

This is nothing short of a miraculous transformation! Slogging along, rain sleet, sun and snow .. you've accomplished THIS! Thanks for allowing us all along for the ride!

You never cease to amaze me, AND don't go jumping on those beams like that, you will give us all heart attacks, never mind what it will do to you. Luv ya

Thank God for the winch. Bless you.

Watching these videos has helped me keep a positive attitude while restoring our house. When it’s getting late or I’m tired I think of Dan restoring a whole chateau 😅 cheers!

I’d want to do a happy dance after pulling those 3 boards up😂 Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

OMG, the first load that you winched up that wanted to slide back down really had me holding my breath. You were basically sitting in it and I had visions of you ‘riding’ it down to the floor…A disaster waiting. WHEW !!

OMG, 3:09 You almost gave me a heart attack! 😲 I thought the see-saw effect was going to sling you down to your death! Please be careful! It's looking good - can't wait to see what this looks like by the week end!

You are such a hard working guy Dan! And you make it look so easy! I know it's not. Wishing you all the best. I can't wait to see more! 🎉

Hi Dan, so good to see the progress, hopefully Nick and Brian are back soon to help you moving those timbers about. Have a great week, see ya tomorra 😊

Before you know it you’ll be walking around like a “Dapper Dan”. 💕🙏

Boredom is never an issue here Dan! I feel confident now that I can hang my spice rack.

Dan , I am watching you do the impossible , yet there you are doing it. I am honored to have been with you from the start and my wish is to see it to the end with you. Outstanding and truely amazing work ! Thank you for this journey.

Quite a contrast... the clouds overhead and Dan's work. 1 thing in common... Neither one stops!

Dan, your castle is shaping up and soon you will be watching the sun rise and set every single day from your balcony, and you will survey all that you've done and the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into Chateau de Chaumont. You'll be an actual whatchamacallit, a compt. Compte de Preston? Anyways, you will be an actual king of your very own castle! I don't comment very often but I have been following your channel for awhile and I am so impressed with your hard work and willingness to go at it day and night, in the sun, rain, or snow, to make this place beautiful again. It's amazing! ❤

Actually the roof is ingeniously constructed

It's quite incredible how the similar jobs have changed as they are repeated. Dan is learning as he goes along and using that knowledge to his advantage. This is definitely the sign of an adaptable and intelligent craftsman. Well done Dan.

I always look forward to tomorrow's video. 👍👍👍

Dan the man with the plan

Every time I see a drone shot of the house I keep hoping for the day when there isn’t a single green thing growing out of the walls. It’s such an impressive thing to see how far you have come. When I see each new room and think wow that is a massive room. The chateau seems to grow. It won’t be long and all the green things growing on the house will be gone!

Take it easy up there by yourself. You have came a long ways!

Congratulations Dan, you're up to 520K followers. I have enjoyed your efforts since you started at the farm, bread oven, etc.

Good title for this episode: HEART STOPPER! Thank you, Dan. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

Good luck with the roof, Dan!

I would def listen to the song “Dupe - Mbappe”, as I’m building 😅😅

Man, the fitness levels you have developed Dan!!! Nothing short of amazing! Such work ethic. Fantastic.

Exciting!!! Can’t wait for this next step! Won’t be long now and there will be a roof over your head

Just loving your channel and all the progress made. Bravo Dan the man!

That winch and lifter really are amazing bits of kit. :-) he’s doing an amazing job.

it is starting to feel like watching someone work inside instead of outside

Can you believe it Dan Daily 👏

Its heartwarming to see this roof going on. I know how much it means to you. A year ago it seemed impossible to us and now look at you go!!! Cheers from Florida, USA!

The man has taken one quarter of the time to build this up to the roof than he did with the other side. A force of nature!

It looks lovely! You've done a fabulous job! I CAN'T wait to see all of the roofs up and the original structure intact. It's already so elegant and graceful. It will be stunning when the rooms are sorted and the windows are in. I can't wait to see it restored to it's former magnificence.

Come people hit that like button, it cost nothing

A "like" does not seem sufficient ! 👋👋👌👌🤞🍀Amazing that the measurements are so in sync, what fabulous work by the original builders to have stood the test of time - I'm sure it would be an interesting conversation between them and Dan 😁

I love watching your show.

WOW! We almost lost you with that first bundle of timbers!

Yay it’s roof time !! 😀😀👍🏼

Every evening or early morning, I surf your channel to constantly marvel at the enormous project you are on...and fascinated by your tireless will to succeed at the sometimes seemingly impossible. Love from Sweden!

Dan, you are a wonder!! This was so good to watch. Congratulations on a great start. Cheers

Yahoo!! Love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

You make it look so easy and so fast and it is such hard work and also so entertaining. Thumbs up for you.

Here we see practice and dedication makes master 😮❤ its simply mind blowing how "fast" the second wing of the roof is popping up. 🎉 stay safe healthy and can't wait for the view in upcoming days.

I reconstruct horribly rusted and sometimes collision damaged vintage cars. I have never considered reconstruction & fabrication of a vintage structure! I'm watching and learning with each posted video....although you have given me encouragement to tackle some home things I thought previously best left to some professional! Keep up the positive power of believing in yourself! Thank you for your encouragement!

Yeahhhhhhh. That’s awesome. Cannot wait for this part to be finished and you having a water free building!!!!!!

You are living right! The calculations ~ match. Good step forward.

Absolutely amazing.. The whole ongoing journey has been so interesting, but sometimes my heart has stopped when you teeter on the edges and up the stairs doing your balancing acts! You are an inspiration to us all by showing what can be achieved by believing in yourself and having great support around you. It's been and will continue to be a fabulous learning journey in construction and personal strength. Thank you, Dan.

One man. One day. What a difference! I'm so happy for you, Dan!

MJS Love it , everytime I watch a video of yours I have to smash the like button. One of my favorite channels along with The Pethericks, both of your channels you guys have such a passion on restoring the impossible buildings.

So exciting to see structures on both sides of the chateaux

So much progress today by yourself! It’s so exciting 👏👏

How fabulous for you to get to this point. So much work, but what a result it will be ❤

Well done for doing the utmost for this burnt down building anyone has ever done for a singular one of the most beautiful buildings anyone anyone has ever created. Thank you for your vision !

Go Dan go. This is amazing. I'm just in awe how fast this is coming together.

I am so proud of your work ethic and how smart you are with anything that comes your way, You have great friends who are always there when you need them. Plus you are an awesome dad.

OMG! Look at that beautiful frame!!!!!

Such a smooth transition from floors to building the A frame inspite of gathering clouds and light falling. Incredibly exciting to see the second roof being installed

Congratulations you’re really flying with that roof construction now compared to the first roof it’s unbelievable isn’t it? That all those years ago? When the built it they could get 2/2 almost perfect with each other.

Congratulations on your Progress!! You are amazing.

I am glad to see the Old Chateau reappearing thanks to your experience job.

Dan is a one man building crew. Amazing job

What a fantastic journey this is...

Terrific and satisfying update. Thanks Dan!

Dan you make that look so easy but I know all that is some hard work you are doing. That place is going to look so good

Boy Dan, i admire you. What a job you do

Et chaque matin à la radio je tends l’oreille pour avoir une idée de la météo entre Limoges et Clermont, et chaque soir en savourant cette vidéo je me dis : effectivement, quel temps de m… Sinon, comme toujours , chapeau l’artiste !

Simply put .... He has Balls !

WOW! You took my breath away when came around the drive and showed the second side going up.

With Love And Respect From Sibi Baluchistan Pakistan

wonderfully peaceful and interesting videos. I wish all of the internet was like this.

I think there needs to be a celebration when the last bush/tree is removed from the chateau.

Your mathematics teachers must be very proud of you 👏

Golly, Dan, you nearly gave me a heart attack with that stack of planks between your legs nearly slipping down that gap! Amazing one man job, wow!
