I don’t think I’ve ever been so invested in someone renovating their home 🤣👏🏻 I’d love to see some before and after shots though. Would be pretty cool to see just how much has changed.
@@denisemastromina7821 I was just going to say that! Go to his Home Page & do a BingeWatch! I'm Sure Dan would appreciate the extra Views!!! (I do that with my faves when the reno is long) 🌹

Well done Dan, it is such a pleasure to watch you and your young family build your little nest. Aaha, now that I know we can see Annalise on the Patreon channel, I feel much better. All is well.
I am loving your vlogs... There is such variety, being a dad, cooking, gardening, maintenance of the moat, getting the walls ready and filming, and the planning of the vlogs and music choices are excellent. Dan you are an all-rounder and amazing at the things you put you hands too. I just wanted you to know how much I love and appreciate your efforts. Great humour to...
@@hootenanny1001 yeah he put it up for the video he said I’m doing this for you guys. He has to run the electrical still. And the chimney of the log burner can vent out the opening of the window that he still hasn’t finished bricking up.

It was a great vlog. Your honesty and humor is the main attraction. Thank you for promising to not drop us when you move on to "bigger and better". :) :) Just tell Annalise that she was very appreciated when she was on with you and (woman to woman) her sweetness/laughter kept us coming back to the vlog. Without her... who knows?? One of my favorite vlogs of all the vlogs you did (or other people) was when she took a walk with the boys and the dogs down a little country lane. Pure goodness!!!! 😇
How interesting the new wall system is to put together. You make it seem so fast and easy. These companies should be giving you their products to try out and review! You could do construction and camera type things for the average man. Not to mention gardening and cooking! Dan you are a natural behind the camera. Thank You for the update on Annalise! We miss seeing her!
I’ve been watching since Day 1 and the escaped pigs and I have to say it’s been a grand adventure. I’m so happy for you and the family that things have gone so well with the vlogging. Much love Dan! Happy to see Annalise on the Patreon page. I’m sure she’s busy with the boys and life. How’s her mum doing with her new place? Something tells me we may see some reno work there as well.
With your talents and personality, there is no limit to your future success regardless of the directions you pick. Well done!! Can't wait to hear more!
I love watching you get that room done! I can’t wait to watch you finish the inside of your house also ! You make it look so easy , which I know it not ! 😆. This will be a fun winter watching your vlogs !
When hearing Dan say, “We’ll see how it goes. It should work out,” it brought back memories of my Aunt Betty. When we would embark on some project around one of our homes, she would in jest say, “If it doesn’t work out, we’ll always say, ‘It should have…!’ “ I miss her wonderful, pragmatic, joyful, loyal friendship. Thanks for the memories!
No messin about Dan! Fab job! I always love your drone shots of the countryside! You are quite amazing Dan and your family is adorable and from a distance in Northern California I love all of you. You make my day! Have a great rest of the week. 🙏❤️💋😊✨🥰
I have watched your vlogs from the very beginning and I can honestly say a, I have never missed one b, they are fantastic and c, you are very talented 😎😎
So pleased to hear of all the filming projects well done you. You really do deserve the success and as they say behind every successful man is the real brains of the operation 🤣 so well done Annalise xxxx
Hello again from small town Inola Oklahoma USA. You mentioned so many people asking about Annalise and you made a "COMMENT" addressing that. But...just wanted to let you know, HALF the reason everyone fell in love with your channel is because of ANNALISE and your family life together. Renovating together, ect. So please, unless she just doesn't care to be in the videos any more. BRING HER BACK TOO!!! We miss her!.
Jamming to the music while drinking several 🍺's and enjoying your vlogs. Life is good with friends and family from all over the world.🌏 And you are so funny ! Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Hi Annalise! 😍
I’ve been falling down on the vlog job. I haven’t had any burning questions for you and didn’t worry that Annalise met an untimely end in a wood chipper or something. She has sharp scissors, she can take care of herself. I would like to meet your dogs one day, and perhaps learn more about how you happened to become a chef or learn so much about gardening.
💐Carol: I'm sure Dan mentioned both in their earlier vlogs. His 🧑🍳chef experience might be discussed around the 🛠️Kitchen Reno period or after on his🍳cooking episodes. 🤔If I recall right, think his professional cooking had something to do with the Navy at one point. Don't remember his🌱gardening🌾 background precisely, but he & Annalise did do an actual Q&A earlier too. 😉Hope that helps. 💚 Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
@@teresacarle294 Thanks! I came to this channel when he was a couple months in so I didn’t catch all of the early videos. I’ll go back and take a look.👍
Your blogs are never weird and always entertaining. Congrats on the new filmy projects. The drone shots of the countryside are just fabulous. Keep up the good work and see ya tomorrow 😍😘
Really neat wall installation system Dan. With all that insulation you will be toasty warm. Thanks for the Q & A-just enough mystery to keep us tuned in. Great vlog, thanks🙏🏻❤️
And once the extension is done, is the barn destined to be made into gites, a wedding venue or a Dan Spielberg mega film studio for your future film projects ? 😂😂😂 Looking forward to seeing the "2 men in a van" videos & the other new projects !
Real Shame Annalise isn't doing the vlogs with you, maybe you can tempt her ever now and then to put in an appearance, I think I've seen her more on the Chateau Diaries xxx
Love your vlog. It’s like having a quick phone call with a friend to see how they are doing. The insulation you installed seems brilliant. Thanks for the Q and A. People you have never met care about you and are so happy for all the good things coming your way. “Two Blokes” blog would be great. You can’t invent or fake chemistry. Love to all. ❤️
Your videos are not “weird”. Paying for supplies as you are able makes perfect sense. What planet are these people on? Dan the Man…….the adventure continues…….
This remind me of the system we used for our "drop-ceiling". Railing and then precut/sized fiberglass boards that fit/slide right in to place. Ugh! Fiberglass!!! I have never itched so much!!!!
I can't wait to see the finished studio Dan and im sure annalise can't wait either so you can finish what's left to do in the house 🤩its fab your making a film, another project to look forward to, 😀 🐝🦋🌻
Dan I've already got your man cave office decorated for you as I'm watching you 😂😂😂 I can't wait to see what OUR office is going to look like LOL love your videos Dan no beating around the bush you just get in there and get her done! Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
I'm calling front seat! Oww, I have a seat! Brilliant! No apologies for content or length, oh my goodness, it is your Vlog and life. What is happening, is happening. And kind of you to share any part of it.
I so wish this intergrated system of insulation and plasterboard was (easily) available in the UK. Another case of the French doing it better! I'm very jealous Dan. How is the costing vs batting the walls with timber?
Well the vlog turned out phenomenal as always. The only thing missing were the cows in the background watching you Q&A but we can’t have everything 😜see you tomorrow 🥰🥰
I'm happy with whatever Annalise decides i.e. we love to see her but if she is busy or does not want to be filmed all the time, it's all good. I'm loving how quick that insulation goes in. Looking forward to the finished room as well. Will be so good for you to have all your equipment stored out there so that you can do your editing without annoying the rest of the family. Just an aside thought, Dan, please ensure once the room is finished that you ensure your insurance covers it and the contents and that you have good security on the doors, maybe even some covering on the doors and windows that you can open for the light when you need it but keeps any prying eyes out.
Are you thinking of putting in in floor heating? Keeping tootsies warm good idea. Might want to decide where you are outting your stove after filling up all the holes. More fun going when afforded. New products coming out too like pretaped drywall joiners check them out. Really starting to look nice in your Studio.
Dan maybe u have answered this some where I missed, but how does France operate with building consent/planning permission/inspections. Can you just do pretty much as you want? Or do you actually have to submit plans for renovations where you are changing windows/doors/entries etc? We can hardly touch anything external here in NZ without building consents, and would have to have preline inspections before the plasterboard goes on.
I don’t think I’ve ever been so invested in someone renovating their home 🤣👏🏻 I’d love to see some before and after shots though. Would be pretty cool to see just how much has changed.
I’d love that too. Maybe a Patreon video?
I know! It is almost more exciting than the big chateau renovations.
He did one not that long ago for the kitchen Reno too. He’s done so much in a year.
Just go back to vlog number 1 and watch its all there and its amazing how much has been done.
@@denisemastromina7821 I was just going to say that! Go to his Home Page & do a BingeWatch! I'm Sure Dan would appreciate the extra Views!!! (I do that with my faves when the reno is long) 🌹
Don’t ever apologize for your vlogs…short or long.. they are always interesting and fun to watch
As a female, besides the wonderful projects you tackle and various tools you use, I love seeing Annalise and the boys.
Very exciting to hear of all of your "film projects" - you are definitely a natural talent and we are all wishing you great success!!
“We’ll see how it goes- it should work out.” Dan’s philosophy of life.😄
See ya tomorrow 😘
Sometimes you have to let a thing play out a bit..if that makes any sense.
It's an excellent philosophy. And yeah, I get that sometimes ya gotta let things play out. Ya never know what kinds of problems are gonna arise.

@@tarafoley6030 was that truly needed and could you have done it more graciously???
I meant my favourite chateaux job of his to this point was the moat. I'm sorry you misunderstood. Dan is The Man, dude.
Interesting walling progress thingy method. Keeping the heat in and rodents out is all that's important. 👏
Hoping it keeps the rodents out too… still some holes in outside wall
@@hootenanny1001 yeah he put it up for the video he said I’m doing this for you guys.
He has to run the electrical still. And the chimney of the log burner can vent out the opening of the window that he still hasn’t finished bricking up.

Your teaser about the new filming is interesting. Annalise will be happy to have your home renovations inside all done.
Just one thing to say, under floor heating Dan. It could save your equipment in super cold weather.
I love how you do life Dan, taking it as it comes, with humour and positivity.
How interesting the new wall system is to put together. You make it seem so fast and easy. These companies should be giving you their products to try out and review!

you buy things as y ou can afford them. Some people, unfortuantely, don't realise how life is for the majority. You are doing so well. Keep it up.
You need to finish the living so not only you but your whole family has a comfortable spot for all.

See Annalise the boys and the pigs are living their best life, they just don’t see it all the time…take a peek into the well.
... the soft spoken guy has transformed.. very expressive and lively... good... now interesting.
Dan. Huge congrats on these future projects. So glad your talents have found a platform. You have so much upside and huge backing on here. Go for it.
With your talents and personality, there is no limit to your future success regardless of the directions you pick. Well done!! Can't wait to hear more!
I agree 🍀👍🏻😎
Oh, that is a great system! Haven't seen that before. Brilliant!
I enjoy it all anyway! Outings, the chateau work, the building projects. Cheers Dan
I love watching you get that room done! I can’t wait to watch you finish the inside of your house also ! You make it look so easy , which I know it not ! 😆. This will be a fun winter watching your vlogs !

That new system for insulation is pretty clever. Looks like you had fun with it! Lovely to see the beautiful white cattle. Lovely to see you too!
That is an ingenious system for insulating walls, no wood, no nails or screws! Impressive!
I enjoyed the video, Dan. What a wonderful system you got for the walls. I think lots of people will be interested. Blessings to you and your family 👌
Getting closer to your studio!👍❤️
Pissing myself laughing at the ad timing. Where is Analise....cuts to food ads for chicken and chocolate, cuts back to chipped her up!!!
That insulation method is quick! Yes, multiple trips to Brico means drone & B roll :)
As you've limited space in the studio and it's well-insulated, perhaps a ceiling-mounted far-infrared panel would be a good way to heat it.
Looking forward to the new projects .I've got my front row seat 👍🏻
"Enjoy the ride.' Great way to look at life in general.
You can never have to much insulation. Thanks for sharing.
Said it before, I’ll say it again. Dan! You are an international treasure!! I need more Dans in my world.
You’re the man Dan -congrats on all of your hard work and progress - and thanks for bringing us along!

Your blogs are never weird and always entertaining. Congrats on the new filmy projects. The drone shots of the countryside are just fabulous. Keep up the good work and see ya tomorrow 😍😘
Before putting on all the insulations, check if there is no water lickage from the roof above. Else, you`ll regret it when rains strong.
It just amazes me how much work you get done in a day!!
Really neat wall installation system Dan. With all that insulation you will be toasty warm. Thanks for the Q & A-just enough mystery to keep us tuned in. Great vlog, thanks🙏🏻❤️

No apologies for content or length, oh my goodness, it is your Vlog and life.

I so wish this intergrated system of insulation and plasterboard was (easily) available in the UK. Another case of the French doing it better! I'm very jealous Dan. How is the costing vs batting the walls with timber?
Thank's Dan.
That was a good vedio; loved the q&a.
SeeA tomorrow. ❤
How exciting Dan, two film projects! Very happy for you, this is brilliant news and I cant wait to hear and see more about both
Another question. How are all the plantings you did very early in your TH-cam channel?
Great system for the walls.
Cantwsit to find out about this new thingy you are doing.....see ya tomora
Love the short vlogs If they were a lot longer I might not have time to watch every single one This way I can without missing any
I agree. There’s always time to carve out 5 to 10 minutes but longer blogs take a bigger commitment.
Oh Dan. You never disappoint. Amazing how you fit it all in.
Glad to hear you have booked us our seats.....you are funny!!! Wouldn't want to miss out.
Well the vlog turned out phenomenal as always. The only thing missing were the cows in the background watching you Q&A but we can’t have everything 😜see you tomorrow 🥰🥰
Ikr where were the girls 🐮🐮🐮🐮🐮
Another great episode, can't wait for the next one. Will the walls not get a vapor barrier, then?
Love your banter
Not weird at all Dan. Great content, love the music, great stuff. See ya tomorrow.

Just an aside thought, Dan, please ensure once the room is finished that you ensure your insurance covers it and the contents and that you have good security on the doors, maybe even some covering on the doors and windows that you can open for the light when you need it but keeps any prying eyes out.
Are you thinking of putting in in floor heating? Keeping tootsies warm good idea. Might want to decide where you are outting your stove after filling up all the holes. More fun going when afforded. New products coming out too like pretaped drywall joiners check them out. Really starting to look nice in your Studio.
Dan maybe u have answered this some where I missed, but how does France operate with building consent/planning permission/inspections. Can you just do pretty much as you want? Or do you actually have to submit plans for renovations where you are changing windows/doors/entries etc? We can hardly touch anything external here in NZ without building consents, and would have to have preline inspections before the plasterboard goes on.
I love watching the building process. You are a very hard worker 👏🏼
