You should restore that barn for weddings. It looks like you could hold the ceremony and the reception in there. My son and his wife recently married in a barn very similar to that, here in England, and it was beautiful, a very natural setting. The bridal party could stay in your chateau.
Great idea!
I thought the same thing. I agree. Great idea.
Was thinking the same thing!
Good $ in that as well. Venues are so expensive nowadays.
and there is still gonna be some space for a atelier, as far as I can estimate the barn ;)
Nathan's guest appearances are always FABULOUS.
I find myself repeating the French lessons aloud with them. C'est trés bon.
@@thornyback Lol. As do I.
"I have a strong urge to buy a Microsoft product." Phillip is killing it with the dad jokes.
I read the comments before watching the video, then almost wet my pants when I watched and heard the comment!😂🤣
I think Phillip has heard the conspiracy theory 😂😂
That was good!!
Yep a guy at my gym is convinced (from robust rumors on the internet) that the vaccine (even though there are multiple versions?) was created by Bill Gates in conjunction with China to convert us to trans-humans, "influence" the world population to create authoritarian control, reduce the impact of climate change and get us to buy more Microsoft products - I think that is the rumor more or less? (I have had to listen to it a few times and changes each time a bit).
Phillip and Anna obviously disprove this theory via contradiction though because after the second vaccination he goes back to cutting down trees, painting with the wrong monster truck paint and using pesticides almost immediately and rejecting Chinese made lights. Although the spouse / children spy drone is a little authoritarian.....
@@richardisted3703 the watch drone is comic relief. It’s pretty funny.
Phillip, that's not true, everyone makes mistakes. I'm really impressed how you always find a solution for your problems.
literally choked on “small mistake with huge consequences”
not the fREAKING TERRENCE MALICK OF THE WASTE PIPE TUTORIALS
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
LOL that was hysterical
Me too
I burst out laughing on the bus, got a few funny looks!
Haha love the spouse watch, “go away!” = “I love you” 🙄🤣
You take you life in your hands with your proposal comment! Question to our readers: Who thinks Philip would be a riot at a party??? Especially if he was in charge of the weed, I mean wheat! Anna, the patience of a saint!
Philip, you are not an idiot. Everyone makes mistakes!
Thank you, very kind!
😁😁😁
If you use a “warm” lower wattage bulb in the Art Deco lights, the detail of the lights will show up better.
"Philipp that's not true, everybody makes mistakes, we're really impressed how you always find a solution to your problems"...I also want to thank you Philipp how you are always helpful in your suggestions for comments! 😂 Anna and you are so delightful...such a wonderful couple and family! Thank you for sharing so much, take really good care, stay safe! Much love Kathy x
Phillip, you are turning into a Grand Master of landscape design. Do not let technical imperfections of silly machinery stand on your way to glory. Beautiful Anna reminds me of Cinderella working hard around the chateau. You both are so funny and adorable. Love watching you guys. Oh, and I can see the musical concerts in your gorgeous barn.
I thought the same about their division of labor.
the object of wood and steel where your wife turned the handle is an old Jack to jack up a heavy object in the building trade. The carpenter I worked as a boy in the Netherlands had one standing in the corner of the shop.
You are going to need the dog house, when Ana hears what you said about the consequences (laughing out loud). Nice job clearing the brush away from the outbuilding! Ana’s paint is so precise!
A little German over here enjoying the little German phrases here and there hehe
You (including the kids, Nathan, Benoit and cows and badgers) are my highlight on youtube. Soooo goood! If there was an award for best humour, you would definitely be the ones to deserve it.
Thanks a lot :)
While you were joking about the pool, I do think that a spa/gym place might be a great addition. As long as your guests stay mostly multiple nights it would surely increase the attractiveness of your chateau
And don’t forget to leave room for the Lamborghini !!!!
Anna you paint like a true professional, which you are stunning creature. Can’t get enough of your vlogs, so amusing, delightful and beautifully filmed.
The outbuilding should be converted to be used for weddings, it is utterly gorgeous.
Good idea !
It will cost more to restore the barn than it will ever make from charging for weddings and accomodations.
I think churches are far better for weddings and almost always they have facilities for receptions.
I wonder if there’s a way of making those Art Deco lights into pendants? I’m not an electrician so I have no clue what that would require on the wiring part but that would look great with the tall ceilings…
plus then they would have a little something in common with Philip’s choice
That is a great idea!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I agree 💡
Well, to the most important question of the day - An Aston Martin or a Lamborghini?
Philipp, how is this even a question? The Lamborghini is an Italian brand that is owned by Audi, a German company. Basically it’s an Italian that speaks German, it may actually be related to you. Although I AM a bit worried about the Bull, last seen munching foliage on the edge of a road, Anna will want the Aston so you need to make your move now.
Because of this channel, the funniest and most clever TH-cam content I receive in a large herd of TH-cam subscriptions, a stampede of other Chateau renovation channels by the Brits has now appeared at my digital door.
That bull has the most amazing face! Quite a character; doesn't seem aggressive.
Wouldn't it be great to be able to be able to travel back in time to see these buildings when they were first built.
A big thank you from the U.S. for this completely enjoyable tour through this beautiful old building Philip and Anna.
Watching these videos as a bilingual english/german speaker always cracks me up, the sighs when we can't come up with the exact word we have in mind is very relatable!
“I have a strange urge to buy a Microsoft product” 🤣😂😜❣️
I was looking for this comment!🤣
As this is our Independence Day I thought it only fitting to thank the nation of France for their support and assistance in making that happen.
Vive La France”!!!
I'm dying here. lolol Those of us in the US totally got the joke about wanting to buy a Microsoft product after the vaccine shot. That was a really good "smart joke" Phillip. lol That's a really cool barn now that you can see it. LOVE the "spy cam" lol OMG........the interaction between Nathan and Phillip is priceless. lol Enjoyed seeing all the items in barns. Phillip did it again....."What's the difference between Weed and Wheat". ha ha ha Have a wonderful week you two. PS....I can't believe how many subscribers you have already. I bet you will hit 100K to get your TH-cam Plaque by your Vlog Anniversary date.
Not just in the US m'dear! Graphene Oxide!
Glad you enjoy the vlogs!
I’m so not understanding re the Microsoft joke - please explain 😆
@@goldenineke bill gates, founder of microsoft pumped a load of $ into the vaccine program in the US, conspiracy theorists out there believe he had a hidden agenda like he had some tech in the vaccine to control our minds or something (or buy his products as Phillip jokes).
@@TubsFreehandDigitalArt oh my goodness- that’s classic! Thanks for explaining it.
Such a wonderful trip down memory lane for me! We 4 heirs own an early 18th century homestead, our Grandparents farm near Berlin, Germany. We are keeping it as a family retreat. The outbuildings are built the same way. However it was former Eastern Germany so unfortunately there were no materials to secure them. But the old farm implements are still in the barn. The machine to separate the wheat from the chaff. My Opa used the Schleifstein to sharpen his scythes and Omi’s kitchen knifes for butchering the hog. The butcher came every fall, killed the animal. Us kids were right there marveling in the gruesome thrill! And watching Omi and the aunts turning it all into incredibly delicious foods. Nothing was wasted. Blutwurst, Sülze and all the delights of the whole hog! Thank you for the memories!
I enjoy watching these vlogs as much as I would enjoy going to a movie. In fact more because most movies now are insanely violent and dark. Anna and Phillip and their sweet, funny antics. Their relationship so precious. It makes me happy to watch them renovate their Chateau. I look forward to Sundays so I can watch the latest episode in their saga. Thank you so much for lifting the viewers up. 💖
These wonderful partners are renovating this chateau with harmony, love, a sense of sophistication and unique taste.....
It’s a threshing machine I think, separates the wheat from the chaff. When traction engines came in powered by steam they put an end to these. The engine would tour farms.
I agree with you about sycamore trees Philip - we nicknamed them 'stickamores' as they would always leave that horrible sap all over our cars when we parked underneath one.
The fact that you have painted the chateau by hand with steady hands and focus is astounding. Room after room. I love your story and keeping up with your updates 💛
That barn could be a great banquet area. Rustic yet grand.
OMG!! Is that a hydrangea bush? I have never seen one that big!! And it is blue how Beautiful!!
Philip's joke about an incontrollable urge to buy a Microsoft product after getting the 2nd Covid vaccine cracked me up! The wide angle lens and filming your beautiful Anna made me wonder if we could see some of your previous film work, Phillip?
Phillips so funny with his little jokes and humour.
It’s very interesting seeing the old barn...
Thanks to you both..
I love hearing the birds in the background
I love the red Ferrari shredder, Phillipp. It must work really well for shredding large parmesan rinds, one at a time. Love the videos!
Phillip you are not an idiot, you are a comedian👏🏽
The machine is called a 'Windfege' in German...it is indeed to separate grain from the chaff or husks. There are other similar machines that can separate various pulses like dry beans, peas and lentils sifting them through various meshes. I know, because my dad worked at a big museum for agriculture. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotationsworfelmaschine
Thanks! I came to the comments to see if anyone figured out what the machinery laying around was :))
))) good for you! "the little Anna in my head" ( tears of laughter streaming here....)
Phillip is so funny! He's a big reason I watch these videos.
Anna, the shade of green paint in hallway is gorgeous 😍. Hope you were feeling better soonest🦬 Philip🙏..your footage is amusing and intriguing 😄thankyou 😊
As a recently graduadet architecture student with a flair for old wooden structures I would LOVE to visit the chateau and make some plans for the renovation of the old barn! 😍
Yeah it’s Sunday night and it’s giggle time with Philip! As usual you didn’t disappoint, really interesting about the out building.
The bovine watch and stubborn 🐮 shows Phillips true farming skills ….. not! 🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄 keep up the clever filming skills, clearly not wasted as a day job 🤣🤣🤣
I watch several vlogs about chateaus but this one has to be my favorite. Always a laugh!
As an American, when I hear Chateau, I think GLAM! Therefore IMO, all ceiling lighting should be crystal chandeliers 😍 On the tree section, I kept thinking to save the largest ends of the trees for your fireplaces! And “little Anna” in Philip’s head made me laugh out loud! 😆😂🤣😅
I would absolutely host a wedding in that barn. It's enormous and the roof is so beautiful and romantic!
might need to lose the threshing machines first, though :)
Agreed! You could make it a beautiful hall/wedding venue. If budget permits you could have the unexplored other side as a separate kitchen/catering zone, with an upstairs atelier for Anna. The space is HUGE. It’s all loaded with great potential- including a pool house or maybe one day a space for an Aston Martin.
It will cost more to restore the barn than it will ever make from charging for weddings and accomodations.
I think churches are far better for weddings and almost always they have facilities for receptions.
Am I the only one who is in love with the tub and the gold feet?
I can already see multiple bathroom designs.💕
"Phillip, that's not true!" Everyone makes mistakes. I'm impressed by how you always find an answer to your problems!
I always miss the premiers! I’d love to see one of Philip’s documentaries. The barn is amazing. It will be so beautiful if it is ever renovated.
I think using antique lights as long as it’s wired safely are very attractive! You go Phillip and uncovering the barn. My husband has a red shredder and loves using his too! At least you wear your safety gear!
I never knew that "Toilet Paper" lights existed. Philip is a genius with that saw.Just like Disney's "Sleeping Beauty", when Prince Philip uses his sword to cut through all the growth to get to Princess Aurora!! Our hero!!! I love all the "Watch" surveillance cams!!!!! Love the "Bull"!!!! Love Nathan's "spontaneous" responses!!! The outbuilding is awesome!! Really gorgeous!!! Excellent ideas for the building.Please make steps instead of ladders to get into the pool.Also,could we make space for a MGB along with the Astin martin? My Dad had a red one when I was little.Love from Vermont
That "mechanism" you found is for the shutters! It's a huge find. It's how they used to open and close all the shutters without having to do it one by one.
Thanks for the tip, do you know how that would work?
I was fortunate enough to fly the 50th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy back in 1994. (US Army helicopter pilot) I absolutely fell in love with Normandy. Love your videos!
Must have been a great moment! Cheers from Normandy!
BIG HELLOOOO from North Berwick, East Lothian Scotland
Love N B
i watch from kirkcaldy scotland lol
Your Chateau Restoration is my favorite to watch. Truly you make it a joy to watch. I can so relate to clearing land , painting, repairing things. Even handling livestock. I was glad the bull was gentle...stubborn yet gentle.
Satisfaction level is high when I watch those trees being cut and shreded!!
I so love your personalities ❤❤❤. All three of you! Not only everything is beautiful, but the entire episodes are funny and hilarious. I think I can picture how much fun the girls have with Philip and so love how you listen to him and the expressions on your face! Music is also a perfect background. Awesome job! 👍😊❤
Philip, that baby bull is too interested in food to follow instructions.
Well done solving the shredder problem.
OMG I am dying laughing here in the Midwest USA. "Stupid trees do not deserve a scientific name." - Philip
From the Midwest also. Love this channel!
My my Phillip you are becoming quite a artisan lol You and Anna have cheered me uo know end after visiting my poor dad in hospital. You make me forget all my worries Merci to you both you a breathe of fresh air . Love watching and of course the French lesson lol
Glad you enjoyed!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau but of course
The wood that stands up & down are called posts. The wood that runs across are called beams. The construction of this type is called Post & Beam . . . I really enjoy all your videos, I watch them over and over, I'm house bound and you entertain me.
“The little Anna in my head”! That made me laugh!! Great fun video. Mary
First I want ro say, “Philip, I think you’re very funny and I love your sense of humor. You make me laugh in your videos but you do it with a dry face and such a sincere voice that I don’t always catch that you’re being funny instead of serious!!!”😊
My next comment is to your wife: when you guys were in the barn exploring and she was against that one wall peeking in regarding how to get into the next section which was the wheat drying area and you had pulled the camera shot way back, for a moment I thought there was a child peeping in to the barn area and it took me a moment before I realized it was your wife with the long hair and the screenshot had beeb changed!!
Too funny!! It was amazing all the things you guys were finding in this barn and that’s only what you found on the surface. That is one of my favorite things to do when I work for an auction seller & we would be hired to go to these farms and list everything that was for sale and cleaned it all up before the sale. Many times whatever was in the barn was to be listed but they didn’t have any idea what was in there! It is our job to find it and clean it up and one cell in particular we found some of the oldest items EVER (US), Which dated back before the first Worlds Fair… There were these pristine metal toys, all in working order, made to scale size, duplicate Toys of Ferris wheels and mini other riding toys at the fair and they were all in working order when you crank them up. They weren’t even rusty because of being stored in the straw increase in the back corner of the barn. Some of the most amazing signs and what was even more amazing is what they sold for. The sister was in charge of the estate and she would not let her brother have any of his thing, not even his baseball glove or baseball cards which include the original first card of Mickey Mantle and all the big named first World Series baseball heroes… And they also sold for a Near fortune❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ before you start throwing things away, you need to have somebody who appraisers items come into those barns and buildings and tell you the value of what you have before you decide it’s just junk. Many museums and historical places would love to have some of those items not to mention having an auction where are you can sell these items. I am a collector and I could hardly contain myself when I saw what you had not to mention that amazing barn architecture…. You are very right that you have two periods historically and it where the plaster has come out that all can be replaced because it looks to me like structurally your barn is very much intact. That barn could be restored and you could use it for many outings such as weddings and dances in the community or other community events… You’re going to become very famous, VERY QUICKLY the MORE YOU RENOVATE YOUR BUILDINGS!!! As well as more visitors come and can prove how lovely it is to be dining there or staying there!! I’m very excited just to be allowed to visit through your videos. I think you two are a wonderful couple; I think you are very intelligent and talented and clearly, you’re not afraid of hard work!!!!!!!
I do have one question and that is, who watches your children when you’re busy working? Does anyone or are they just so well-behaved they never interfere with your work? Either way I think you have beautiful children and I also understand that you do not want to show them to the public very much!!!!! My daughter and son-in-law are very careful about that as well and they’re also very careful about not putting your pictures out on the Internet because I don’t trust people that way either sad but you have to think about child predators even if you don’t want to. And like you guys, my daughter has two gorgeous little girls she does not intend for the world to know about. They very easily could be models or photograph for any number of things, But they do not want that life for them. They are more interested in their education and family interaction than what the world wants!
Can’t wait for your Next video!!!I think you both were very calm on your last day before your Guests showed up… probably would’ve been rushing around like a mad woman wanting everything perfect but you guys oh much wiser and much calmer. I admire you both for that!!!!
PS~ I’m sure somebody has commented about this already fill up but the only way you can make a cow move is to rope it and drag it to where you wanted to go. Bonine animals are the worst about getting out and even more terrible about going back in. “To be fair, you didn’t have a chance Against the Bull!!”
Kids are at school during the week!
Enjoyed the whole video!!! Phillip you and your family are so talented, the property outside, the lawns, the inside Anna is gorgeousssss!!!
The cows had me laughing, I am so thankful you all are on TH-cam!!!
Hysterical - when you said the little Anna in my head - was right.
Wow! Phillip would have no finance issues if he could restore his "weed" store! Out buildings are fascinating to me. They hold the old discarded treasures.
OMG that barn is an absolute treasure trove!
To reuse stones in new buildings is a usual procedure - in German we say „Spolien“ (particularly if the stones are decorative). Interesting barn-building, a lot of options!
Love the tour and history. You are the best at providing vlogs with wonderful regularity.
That was fun 😄and Is interesting. God-bless your family and keep safe
Thank you!
My Sunday is not complete until I watch your video. You two always make me laugh!
You two continue to amaze and entertain me. Your humour, your ability to do so many things is just great! I find myself smiling pretty much the whole time I'm being entertained. Love you guys!
Oh good lord, carpet in my editing room! I'm from Wisconsin, I feel your pain! Love this one!!!
Philip, you make me laugh so much, I adore your sense of humor 🤍
"The Stupid Tree". LOL. You two are too cute. Your little family is adorable.
The barn is amazing and having the picture is great. Phillip- Anna is the voice of reason, whether in your head or in front of you. 😀 The hallway light may not be perfect but the price is right 😊. Love your videos.
I think the building would be a great place to host bigger events like weddings or something like that in the future, there is certainly enough space for a big dance floor there
I love the Star Trek mystical background music during spousal watch.
I wish your vlogs were longer .they are so interesting and informative.
You restore that barn you'll be asked to rent out for community events and weddings. It's beautiful!
Amazing outbuilding (not for weed! ) hope you find out what that machine is with the cup shaped part. Keep us posted!! Thank you both. 🌹💜
Regarding the antique 'whetstone' (blade sharpener), my folks used one of these stones as a base for a garden fountain... it was laid on a circle of pebbles and the water comes up through the middle of the stone and flows to the edge. You can also use that stone as an art piece for the Chateau... Love that!!
Great idea!
I like the light fixtures you are going to use... It looks good to have all these trees cut, you can not see the old barn. Love the old buildings! That chipper really cleans up foliage quickly!!! And,
it is very useful on your property ... So interesting to see what is in the beautiful old barn ... That is a great old piece of equipment! I love that old door beside you. That stone wall is so beautiful! This was most interesting. Thank you for sharing!!!
I love the tours of the out buildings. Like a treasure hunt!
From Waco, Texas: you must create a museum of all these old tools and machines.
I love the spaciousness of your barn! think of all that you could do with that great space! Yoga retreats, country dancing with a live band, a rainy day spot for farm to table dining. Weddings!!
art classes, flower arranging workshops, children play area, wall paper making studio/workshops....
Such a cool building. You should make it a big ballroom for dancing.
Beautiful barn! My suggestion, make it a venue for weddings or music events or meetings . That Art Deco table deserves restauración 👍🏼 Ana great job with your hall and good choice with the lamps ! I Love those hydrangeas! Excellent film angles !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
LOVE the "surveillance" videos!
Another absolutely great vlog! Just the right balance of humor, restoration, gardening and miscellaneous segments. The electronic surveillance is one of my favorites and of course the French lessons w/Nathan. You are both so talented and interesting to watch. Your channel and Escape to Rural France (Dan the gardener) are, by far, the best out there. Maine USA
Glad you enjoyed it!
Planting some clover 🍀 I think would be a great addition or good option for your grass lawn, grass Lawn is practically green concrete as it does nothing for the bees and insects.
Clover is great for encouraging biodiversity and making bees 🐝 happy
Also, it looks great and you down have to cut it to keep it up
🌸🌻💕
Love the mulching error... I'm so delighted to see that I'm not the only one who's also done something like this. A sharp mind can't be bothered with details like making sure the machine is ready to use. LOL... I do stuff like this all the time! I get excited that one thing works and then forget to ensure the other things are ready.... very reassuring, this. LOL...
Good to know I'm not alone 😂
The little Anna in my head was right!! Ha. Love it.
Lovely, and funny as always, great to see Nathan and his French lesson. Can't wait to see what you will do with those beautifull outbuildings, in the future. Thanks for another great vlog.
That shredded has paid for itself .
Best thing to have.
How exciting to find what I consider a treasure. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder and I think that barn is gorgeous. I have never seen a building in person past circa 1800 in America. They have a few from the 1600's but very few. I would be very interested in what the Historical Architecture will reveal. I agree with other comments to make the barn into a beautiful wedding venue. I have a friend in Mississippi that built a small castle and she is booked solid for weddings from all over the USA. She has horse drawn carriage for bride to make her entrance. Beautiful flowers. She plans the weddings from start to finish including menus and cakes. She allows 3 choices only of meals and 3 choices of different cakes and pastries as well as drinks. Makes the job much easier. Does she make money from this. Yes, and quite a lot! Do you see how long my comment is? I talk the same way:) If I visit you may want to keep me busy away from you! Really! If you can not understand my southern accent then it may not bother you. In that case you can let me talk since you will not understand my accent.
Wow what outbuildings you have. They look wonderful. You are both a great team. One sensible and one hilarious . 👏👏
That barn that was so covered in trees and bushes is amazing. They should keep it for garden tools and machinery, chickens and ducks. Have your own fresh eggs.
