This is the MOST ambitious deadline we have ever set. 

Only channel of its kind. Absolute mountains of rubble and devastation cleared and beauty brought back to life. All by one man and his friends.

"....we're going to have to buy another ruin...." made me, literally, laugh out loud. I would never bet against you all hitting the goal you outlined. Very impressive. Fun to see the little digger, again.

My 4 year old son doesnt like waking up for school, but having a video about the castle never fails to get him downstairs calmly. He is very invested in the progress!

Dan, you should do tree murals all through this room when you are done.

Missing the daily vlog but loving both Dans working....is there only one Nick? He's brilliant too

There WAS something magical about the forest growing within the walls.... It was like a fairy realm. Lol. I hope when this is done you can hang pics of that area in it's forest state as a reminder of how you found it. That would be so cool ...

There have been several comments telling Dan how to run his channel, that he needs to go back to daily vids or he'll lose subscribers, people will lose interest, etc. First, he already explained why he's cutting back. Second, he's got over 450K subscribers, and this video has over 42K views in an HOUR. I think he'll be just fine doing what he's doing. He doesn't need to kill himself doing daily vids just because a few people say so. Keep up the excellent work, Dan! We're all (except for a few negative Nellies) behind you. You got this!

Dan, how wonderful of you to START this video off with a cheerful and pleasant Good Morning! Glad you are now thinking of the other side of the Chateau's flooring but you are creating so much mess for poor Nick to clean up. Someday it will only require a light dusting, vacuuming and mopping, not a leaf blower and mini-dozer. Keep up the great work!

Show Off! 😁 Had to be Nick cracking open a beer with a chainsaw 😂🍻

Nick is awesome, everyone needs a friend like Nick 👍🏼

Going to have to buy another ruin at this rate…😂😂😂😂 love it Dan! That is why we keep coming back to watch. Your positivity is boundless.

Lots of Lemsip milk and honey for this young man. With a touch of brandy. Take care of yourself Dan. You need all your strength to complete these plans. So glad that another wing of this chateau is getting sorted. It is looking better with each vlog. Thanking Nick from my heart for his help with this project. ❤

Clearly you both built the pyramids in a previous life. Epic ingenuity. Love this channel.

Gosh...when we are taken back to the reminder of how it was, we again realise all that you've done and mostly sole-handedly! You're a marvel and I'm sure the spirit of this beautiful old castle thanks you! Keep up the awesome work Dan 🥰🤗👏👏👏

Dan, your tenacity and skills continue to impress me. You could never cast anyone to play Nick. He is one of a kind! Crack On!

I'm constantly astounded by your determination to restore a building that's in such a deteriorated condition. I wish you success.

Tell Nick he's an absolute darling brick. The new strategy and Nicks company have lifted you up, Dan. Way to go 🇬🇧

Well done guys you did incredibly well getting those two beams in,, you sound as though you’ve got a bit of a cold😢

Thankyou for adding the old footage to remind us how far you've come..... congratulations

“Well finished by Christmas” No problem! Love this channel. Watching from Tassie

Now THAT is how you pop a cap! Hope you're feeling better soon. Cheers 🍻

If you can get those floors in, in two weeks, that would be phenomenal.

So happy for you Dan that now the large rooms are getting floors....!

Big Dan, thanks for another great video, I'm watching from maui I'm on vacation, just came from Lahaina, shed some tears and said a prayer for all the poor souls that lost their lives, God Bless them all

Fabulous idea Dan sort the brick work and arches when you’re on your own them when the guys are there getting the steels In And flooring sorted, fingers crossed for you all stay healthy work safely and stay focused and positive loving your updates abs the progress 👍🎉🎉💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I was properly impressed with getting the steel beam inside. That was just straight-up clever.

The chainsaw to take the beer cap off! 🤣🤣🤣

You and your helper are hard working. Praying God keeps you safe. Faithful watcher. Take some time to rest too.

Nick’s got mad skills with that chainsaw bottle opener!🤣🤣

YAY! I've completely caught up, just started binging these vlogs about 3 weeks ago and so enjoy watching the progress. Way to go, Dan on getting the roof on and making progress on the next stages of the renovation! I can't wait to see what you accomplish next. Cheering you on from across the pond in the US 🎉 Hardest working RU-vidr out there!

Thank you for looking back! It really does show how much you have done!

Great you have your MOJO back keep it up. So much progress with two of you

Ya have a tough cold so hope you get past it soon. Looking forward to seeing the accelerated install. Great to have Nic there to help again. See ya in a few days :)

Take care Dan , hope your cold gets better quick quick ❤

Love seeing every bit of progress and wonderful knowing Nick is onboard to help! No Cameron, though? Did I miss something? Best of everything to each of you. 😃

It's just amazing what you've gotten done in the past year. How exciting to be starting on the other wing!

Looking back at the trees growing inside beautifully captured the magic of the Chateau, sweet.

So sorry you are't feeling well Dan, it was evident in your voice and your nose 🤧, so fantastic to move into the other side.. CRUISING!!!! yay!

This is so exciting we could have another part of the roof on 😮

Debbie here,,👩‍🌾 love watching your videos and thank you for not putting the music in for the most part..I sure feel for your back, I hope you have a cute gal that can massage it for ya…😃

All these tedious fiddly-bits bring me great comfort. It's kept me going, frankly.

That's very exciting to have the floors on the other side going in, and a roof!

It's amazing the progress you are making when you don't have to worry about getting out a daily vlog! Nice progress!

Great having Nick back 😊 .. Dan what a job you guys are doing love from Ireland 🇮🇪

Happy to see the next steps in this magnificent journey! Thank you to Nick & the other gentleman who is assisting you Dan, I do get concerned when your out there alone. Be safe and we will see you on the next installment!! Fantastic workings.

Love you Dan, and whatever time schedule you choose, We'll be there to catch it !! I am one of your originals from that first day at Stephanie's and never tire of your projects.

Looking forward to watching the race to the top!

You Were missed We see such how hard Your work is But it shows Lots of hugs Especially 🐶❤️🐶❤️

Good to see Dan 2 make an appearance.Lovely seeing the sun shining on the chateau again.Well done guys.

Dude, get well soon, do not take a cold on the easy peasy shoulder! Take it serious before you get really sick❤

So good to see you and hear about your plans. And great to see Nick there too😊

I am so amazed on how much they get done in a Day!!! Keep up the great Work!❤ 🎉

Dan, just to hear you say “Good Morning!” brings me a huge smile! You’re such a pleasure to watch, and I’m so looking forward to seeing the amazing progress!! 🥰💋

It looks like you have a bad cold Dan🤧. You take care OK, you are doing well so happy Nick is there with you, as you said it will go much quicker. Hope to see you tomorrow 👍love from South Wales UK XX

youand Nick are so inventiv using methods that are so clever to takkle all this heavy stealbeams……always interseting to watch……no limits for you with a clever brain

You blow my mind with this building. Hope you can accomplish your plan as you hope. Just be careful and don't over do.

U can do it Dan, with a lot of help from your friends. May God bless you.❤

❤❤❤ Awesome! Plan your work and work your plan. You are amazing!

You could not have a better person helping with the beams than Nick. Not only is he an expert with all the equipment, but he has a built in understanding of how to manoeuvre large, heavy objects like those beams in a safe efficient way! The two of you work well together like synchronized cogs. Now that the weather is clearing up, it would be a godsend to get all those beams in place while you have help!❤

Honestly though I cannot wait until you are living in the Château sitting in your front way with furniture and looking up and remembering when you had a tree growing in it. That is going to be so cool.

I do believe it will be much faster on this side of the chateau. You have more help and more sophisticated tools. Dan…. You have done an amazing job. It first I thought you would be a great grandfather by the time you were done. But it looks like your boys are going to be running around the chateau in no time at all. God bless you and please stay safe. I enjoy watching all your videos. In fact I look forward to them. It’s also amazing how much you have learned. And how much more skillful you have become.

Steel in....and floor joists coming...soon enuff the floorboards... Oh my... Its almost spring time...should be fair westher ahead... GO FOR IT..ALL THREE PLATFORMS... CARRY ON

Nick reminds me of Davros whenever I see him on the mini digger

My heart is always in my mouth when you are up a ladder working on your own. You are all doing a grand job just love watching the videos x

Great to see you back and with undaunted enthusiasm and optimism! So exciting to watch it all unfold! 🥰🥰🍷🍷

Super great! I’m so looking forward to seeing the roof on the whole building. Watching from Houston, Texas.

Love how successful your channel has become Dan Been watching you since you were introduced on chateau de lalande as the new Gardner

Most excellent Brother's 😎👍❤️🏰🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️✨️✨️💯💯💯💯💯✨️✨️✨️

WOW!! Impressive!! Looking forward to seeing you crank out these floors!! 👏👏👏👏. 😊👍

Great work, once again! Dan is a trooper! Be encouraged. Watching from Colorado. 😊

From "green house" to great house! You've got a twin? Lol! Good job on the I beams. Bet those are a real stinker to move! You and Nick are stars!

Just in this little bit of time it’s hard to believe it looked like that. Trees growing inside and so much debris,you’ve done so much already. I’ve been here since you were working on your home with the ex and haven’t missed an episode yet👍 love the channel Dan 😊.

Evening all - number 2 here. Happy Tuesday ETRF fam!

Looking pretty sharp, Dan!!! 🎶❤️🎶🙏🙏🙏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🏰🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

Just loving how much faster it's all seems to be going than last yr. Bravo🎉❤. Can't waitbto see you hit 500k.

Hey Nick.. That was cool 😎.. You have an amazing control over the machine you uses👏👏👏

I have faith in you and Nick!

Those dogs seem so carefree!

Well done, Dan and Nick. Outstanding progress 🌟

She is coming along and back to life.❤

So glad to see you. Carry on!

Wow!! Great job guys. Kathy USA 🇺🇸

"...buy another ruin .. by Christmas... " I ❤️ the optimism of this man! Dan - Whether you do (buy another ruin) or not, and regardless of your progress (at Christmas), I want to thank you and your family, friends, and supporters enough for sharing this journey ... this channel has lightened my heart and given me hope that is difficult to explain or express. 🕊✌️🦋

When Dan doesn't post for a few days, am I the only one who goes back and watch from the beginning just to see what I have missed. Lately I have been keeping track of his different shoes. Love the chateau Dan!

This is wonderful video. Well done and thank you.

Good morning. Good to see you guys again.👍

nice to see you back Dan amazing progress hope your cold clears up soon.

Your camera angles on this vlog are superb. I was able to pause the vlog several times to see what and where...(I watched it twice to get a better understanding of the layout.) You'll have half the chateau waterproofed soon.

Dan, amazing and ingenious. How you get those huge beams around the site is remarkable. Great progress and so much to look forward to.

Finish by Christmas... When ever you are done with this Chateau it will be a grand thing. In the mean time I'll enjoy every episode.

I think it would be very interesting to know more about your "helpers", Nick's gotta have a real interesting background and knowing a bit more would undoubtedly be impressive, to say the least.

Good work , exciting too.

Damn Dan, that sounds like a good plan.

Sounds like you need a break and rest. Pushing through when full of cold, is not a good idea. The work will still be there tomorrow, better to look after your self today. Nag over... Loving what you have done so far. I miss France more than i thought i would..

You guys please be safe and be careful while you're there working. 😊👍🙏

Yay it’s Dan, my daily fix, yippee

Wowsers.....this is a lot faster! Love the split screen of you, sort of true to real life the amount of work you seem to get done. Sooo much fun to watch.

Watching you two manuever those hella heavy beams around is epic!
