Dan, your energy levels and sheer patience is quite amazing. Thr long project is going to be awesome to follow. Your production on all the vlogs gets better and better. I hope people see that too.
That seems like a great idea for a walkway! Could have one of those markers explaining how you're now strolling up what was the original driveway...lovely.
Love watching the progress, eagerly awaiting each video! But please don't worry about the sounds of a few gusts of wind! It made me feel like I was right there with you walking in the woods and around the Chateau! I actually thought it was a great addition to your video! Thanks for bringing us along on this wonderful adventure!
This is fascinating finding the clues of the past! You are absolutely right! The aesthetics of grand drives is never a direct path, the grandeur of a curved drive is so appropriate!!
I love the way you tell the thoughts with your photography! The black mower internet store is just one example. Your gentle humor carries the day! I follow faithfully.
All thieves need is a battery operated angle grinder and they would have all Dan's tools in minutes :( Happened to us with motor bikes, pressure washer and chainsaws. It sucks
It's the little things that make all the difference, the little mower will be great until the yard is finished, it gives a sense of tidiness and will keep the weeds at bay...have an awesome Easter with your little buddies...be waitin' on Monday...!
I think way back when, all the grounds were cut and looking nice. This looks nice and really opens up this side. Once you get it all cut back and out, the whole place will open up and give you ideas of what you could put out there.
Don't worry about having to use your iphone to film sometimes. I would have never noticed and your videos are great no matter what! You're working so hard Dan and its looking great.
Dan, lovely clear out today. Nice little mover. It's getting the job done quickly. Happy Easter to you, the boys and everyone you are celebrating with. Cheers
Thanks for posting less grand stuff like this. It's showing my son how grand things are a series of thinking forward into future needs and doing minor mundane tasks that string together into greatness.
It’s now starting to look like a proper Chateau park! I was first a litle bit weary about taking al the vegetation down, the grounds looked so naked. But it all stats to make sense now. Beautiful work Dan.
I half expected you to find cobble stones that were the original standage lol. I've got so used to you finding tiles etc.. Been spoilt. Happy Easter, see you Monday. 😊🐰
You may not see this cause I just found your channel! But I am on 38 and have enjoyed each one. I am going to finish until the end. But I honestly love your energy and your love that you have for restoring this chateau ❤ keep cracking on!
Great vlog Dan...the sound was fine! It is so exciting to see the property coming to life again and am looking forward to seeing Nick and Calvin again and all the work that you will be getting into. Happy Easter tomorrow and enjoy your day with your family. See you Monday!!
I wish my yard work went as fast as your video ! LOL I like the road up to the chateau where it is, but a good parking area will be needed in the future. Thanks for sharing your day 😀
Never noticed the wall in the background, can't wait to see that all cleared up, and the music was spot on toe tapping happy dance music! Happy Easter to you, Annalise and the boys!
Have a good Easter, Dan! Good ideas for the driveway. Think of what it would be like at night the chateau lit, torches, footmen, beautiful clothes, music, dancing. Maybe think of your bejeweled chateau as a guest at your own party. Hope that I can see it sometime. Much love to your lovely family.
I totally see the allee and it would have been a nice soft curve to the main entrance. Someone suggested that allee become a lovely path from the car park to the Chateau and what a great idea!. It would be lovely to see roses climbing on the stone wall by the carpark. Have a great weekend!
Happy Easter to you and your boys! 🐣 🐥🐇✝️💟 I’m looking forward to this journey with you, Dan. Every day it’s a pleasure to watch the progress being made.
Happy Easter Dan -enjoy your time with the kids and love your idea for a car parking area. At least for the time being but you can always reinvent it down the way if need be-so much to discover yet! This was a fun video and I laughter when you pointed your camera to the lawn mower as a quick should I or shouldn’t I get that thing? Lol! 😆
Happy Resurrection (Easter)Day to you and your family. Enjoy your day with the boys. That lawn mower will come in handy when the grass begins to grow. You are getting so much done, the transformation is awesome!!!!
Hey Dan! So, about that driveway ... I've seen on other gardening videos, where, they're able to take, whether it's a shovel, or a power washer, or, strimmer / weed whacker, and, under the grass they find the old driveway or a side walk or something, because they're using those tools to find the edges of concrete or stone, or asphalt, or whatever was used to build the driveway / sidewalk originally. And I wanted to suggest to you, you could, maybe, try that, whether it's from the base of the steps, or from the gate! Who knows! You may find something if you just take a quick look & dig down about an inch or two!
I was rolling at the mowing speedup . It looks awesome !! Great idea a car park. Enjoy the boys Happy Easter hope you have lots of chocolate in your near future 😊🐇🐣🐥
Good idea about using the rubble on the car park. No doubt you're already on top of this, but do take that extra half hour to ensure the grading for the rainwater runoff is perfect, as it's annoying to have to re-do once the gravel top is down if you notice puddles, and once you put a feature like this down, it'll be useful for decades if made well.
That areas would also make a great spot for a cottage combined with a car park that could also help with security of the chateau. Closer to the entrance and maybe turned into a gift shop/refreshment area if you ever plan to open to public.
Un patrimoine français exceptionnel, pour information, la crise des grandes fortunes et la baisse des revenues agricoles entraînent l’arrêt des chantiers de construction et réparation . Aucun château n’est édifié ou presque après 1918... Les métiers se sont perdus les toitures ont pris l’eau, les incendies ont été catastrophiques.... Bonne Pâques 🎉
Bonjour Dan, Mon anglais est horrible alors je te commenté en français, Bravo pour ton engagement c'est un vrai plaisir que de regarder tes vidéos !! Sacré boulot pour ce château les travaux sont pharaoniques,chaque épisodes sont aussi passionnants qu'une série policières !!! Continue on aime. Pour patreon j'ai beaucoup d'engagements ailleurs mais dès que possible je participerais.
Ah, it would be sooo cool if you reinstated the old driveway after the chateau is finished and no longer need the direct access for the supplies, or at least see where it went. To have just garden at the front and parking at the back would look fantastic, and a nod to how it was probably set out 100+ years ago
Dan, your energy levels and sheer patience is quite amazing. Thr long project is going to be awesome to follow. Your production on all the vlogs gets better and better. I hope people see that too.
My sentiments exactly, Nigel Bullock. I would have said the same if you hadn't beat me to it.
He is doiing great but thinking first woud save a lot of time
Exactly my words Nigel. It is a great, great pleasure to follow Dan. He can do anything. I love the music, and my god is he charming 😊
I see it Nigel. Love watching😊
Consider making the old driveway into a walk way from the car park to the chateau.
Love seeing the transformation of the chateau. Great work.
That seems like a great idea for a walkway! Could have one of those markers explaining how you're now strolling up what was the original driveway...lovely.
It's great that you're reusing everything instead of dumping it in a landfill.
I love the idea of having parking away from the direct site of the chateau. Clever of you to spot the old "alley" through the trees.
Yeah, there are castles that look absolutely stupid because they put pavement way to close.
Love watching the progress, eagerly awaiting each video! But please don't worry about the sounds of a few gusts of wind! It made me feel like I was right there with you walking in the woods and around the Chateau! I actually thought it was a great addition to your video!
Thanks for bringing us along on this wonderful adventure!
This is fascinating finding the clues of the past! You are absolutely right! The aesthetics of grand drives is never a direct path, the grandeur of a curved drive is so appropriate!!
Metal detecting the grounds and caseoffs from the chateau would be interesting for the boys
That would be a great treat for the boys!
If Brico doesn't give you Customer of the Year Award, I'm complaining to Head Office.
This space is looking so good. Great job Dan…. All the best!
Totally agree on the parking being a distance away from the front of the chateau.
I love the way you tell the thoughts with your photography! The black mower internet store is just one example. Your gentle humor carries the day! I follow faithfully.
Happy easter Dan. Hope the boys have a great time, not sure if you do an egg hunt but enjoy your day off. Chateau grounds are looking good!
Have you thought of getting a shipping container? Instant garage. Secure. You can start keeping all your tools and equipment there
All thieves need is a battery operated angle grinder and they would have all Dan's tools in minutes :( Happened to us with motor bikes, pressure washer and chainsaws. It sucks
@@janinebarron2691 There aren't many lockup options that couldn't be bypassed with an angle grinder.
SOUNDS Like a smart idea.
I’m impressed you have such a long term vision with so many layers of detail!
Such energy! I got the biggest chuckle out of the music you chose for this video. Good doing, Dan.
It's the little things that make all the difference, the little mower will be great until the yard is finished, it gives a sense of tidiness and will keep the weeds at bay...have an awesome Easter with your little buddies...be waitin' on Monday...!
Again, the music....love it!!! I can't wait 'til next week when you're all cracking on!
You're a dreamer, a worker, a visionary! Lot's of creative energy. Happy Easter Dan!
I think way back when, all the grounds were cut and looking nice. This looks nice and really opens up this side. Once you get it all cut back and out, the whole place will open up and give you ideas of what you could put out there.
exactly
Enjoyed that great music you played today! Parking can be fun in such a lovely spot. Happy Easter to you and yours! Looking forward to Monday!
Don't worry about having to use your iphone to film sometimes. I would have never noticed and your videos are great no matter what! You're working so hard Dan and its looking great.
I just have to check in every day to see the progress!! Well done!
Dan, lovely clear out today. Nice little mover. It's getting the job done quickly.
Happy Easter to you, the boys and everyone you are celebrating with.
Cheers
Hi Dan,,your enthusiasm to make the chateau a beauty again is wonderful. Have a great Easter with the boys 🤗🐰
You are a model of perseverance and resilience; I am very proud of you and send you infinite blessings, health, and lots of love, happy Easter Dan!!!!
Thanks Dan loved it. Have a great Easter holiday with those little Dan’s.
I'm just obsessed with your music choices!!!! and of course your insane work blows my mind....
Thanks for posting less grand stuff like this.
It's showing my son how grand things are a series of thinking forward into future needs and doing minor mundane tasks that string together into greatness.
Just love your trust in the process. Step by step for hundreds of days -- dedication!
Nice quick clearing have a wonderful Easter Dan with your family 🐣
It’s now starting to look like a proper Chateau park!
I was first a litle bit weary about taking al the vegetation down, the grounds looked so naked. But it all stats to make sense now. Beautiful work Dan.
I agree Dan not having the cars outside the Chateux Love seeing your progress. Happy Easter to you all. 🐣
I half expected you to find cobble stones that were the original standage lol. I've got so used to you finding tiles etc.. Been spoilt. Happy Easter, see you Monday. 😊🐰
Great lawnmower!!! That will be perfect for parking!!! Happy Easter!!! 🥰🤗💖🐰🐣🙏🐓🥚⛅️🐝🎶💚🌸🌻🌺
So many historical things are coming to life. It all tells a big and interesting story Dan!
I had your energy at 40 were now on our 5th renovation but at 75 you exhaust me! Keep going Dan while you can. X
Love watching the transformation Dan! The music 🎶 is awesome 👍 being from the USA I'm loving it!
You may not see this cause I just found your channel! But I am on 38 and have enjoyed each one. I am going to finish until the end. But I honestly love your energy and your love that you have for restoring this chateau ❤ keep cracking on!
I wish I had your energy Dan. Happy Easter to you, your family and the viewers. ❤
Happy Easter to you also.
You too.
Hello from PEI Canada. I am always amazed by what you do.
Old drive so elegant! Yes, please.
That area looks fantastic, Dan! Keep up the good gym work-out
Great vlog Dan...the sound was fine! It is so exciting to see the property coming to life again and am looking forward to seeing Nick and Calvin again and all the work that you will be getting into. Happy Easter tomorrow and enjoy your day with your family. See you Monday!!
Have a good weekend, Dan. I'm exhausted just watching you toil over the undergrowth.
I wish my yard work went as fast as your video ! LOL
I like the road up to the chateau where it is, but a good parking area will be needed in the future.
Thanks for sharing your day 😀
Happy Easter, Dan! Nice work today.
What a large area now that it is cleared. Good job!!
Hi Martha
How are you today? 🌹🌿
Never noticed the wall in the background, can't wait to see that all cleared up, and the music was spot on toe tapping happy dance music! Happy Easter to you, Annalise and the boys!
But will it need pointing.....
@@sheilaghk6350 possibly. If there's a lull in the main work, it may just be done anyway. Lol
Have a good Easter, Dan! Good ideas for the driveway. Think of what it would be like at night the chateau lit, torches, footmen, beautiful clothes, music, dancing. Maybe think of your bejeweled chateau as a guest at your own party. Hope that I can see it sometime. Much love to your lovely family.
Once again, well done, you achieved quite a bit with that new grass cutter it did well
LOVE ❤️ from a kindred spirit. Have a great Easter tide and cudos for carefully transforming your Chateau!
V36: So wish I was over there with my strimmer brush cutting! LOOKING GREAT.
This US resident just has to giggle each time I hear it called a Strimmer. So much more classy than a Weed Whacker!
Easter Blessings to you and your loved ones, Dan, God bless you
Love seeing the progress and your vision. Happy easter.
I totally see the allee and it would have been a nice soft curve to the main entrance. Someone suggested that allee become a lovely path from the car park to the Chateau and what a great idea!. It would be lovely to see roses climbing on the stone wall by the carpark. Have a great weekend!
Happy Easter to you and your boys! 🐣 🐥🐇✝️💟
I’m looking forward to this journey with you, Dan. Every day it’s a pleasure to watch the progress being made.
So exciting to see all the changes.
Looks amazing Dan, now even I can see your vision

I love the location of the car park! And I was wondering if you have any updates on the cabin? Where will it go? Happy Easter to you too
Coming soon!
The parking area is a great idea! Hope you and the boys had a great Easter! ❤
Happy Resurrection (Easter)Day to you and your family. Enjoy your day with the boys. That lawn mower will come in handy when the grass begins to grow. You are getting so much done, the transformation is awesome!!!!
Hi Gatti

I look forward to your videos! Thanks for making my bday extra special. You even included a wheelbarrow tire... my fave. 💕
A Happy Easter to you Dan, aswell as Annelise and O-course : the Boys!
What a good idea, great way and perfect area to allocate space.
Happy Easter ... New beginnings
Looks great! HAPPY EASTER!

Happy Easter 🐇 Dan! Gotta say that you are very inspiring. It looks good!
I love that the red brick was used all over the outside of the chateau. It gives a nod the older lentils I the basement.
Happy Easter! Dan&fam
🐰🐣🐇🤍✝️
Happy Easter Dan and Family!
No worries about the wind/sound. The area around your chateau has much improved, great job!
I like the wind sound! It feels like I’m there.
Nice mower Dan ,go get the boys, have a great day off we'll all be seeing you Monday!!!
love u'r videos and that journey just amazing
That areas would also make a great spot for a cottage combined with a car park that could also help with security of the chateau. Closer to the entrance and maybe turned into a gift shop/refreshment area if you ever plan to open to public.
Love a circular driveway, makes the view of the chateau more beautiful. Parking to the side. You look like the engerizer bunny.
Happy Easter Dan and family! The chateau is coming right along! So enjoy watching your channel.
Love the music on this video. Have a great Easter!
At least we got a video and I do understand the wind is a hassle.

I love a tidy worksite😁👍👍
Happy Easter to you and those darling boys . ❤️🐓🐣🐇🐑❤️
Awesome video on upcoming decisions, Happy Easter!!!
I was wondering what you were going to do with all the rubble you've been clearing. Great idea!
Приедет Ник с измельчителем веток и все будет о*кей.
Thank you for the daily vlog! Love the content, channel!
Bonjour Dan,
Mon anglais est horrible alors je te commenté en français,

Happy Easter Dan. Good music today:)
Easter is a special day to me. I pray that you have a wonderful Easter also. Prayers for you and your family.
Looking good Dan. Have a Happy Easter with the boys 🐇🐣🐰😍😘
Looking good, Dan! 😊 Happy Easter! Hope you and the boys have fun!👋🏼
Hi Ruth
How are you today? 🌹🌿
Dan, you have good reason to be proud of your cleaning up the car park. Have a Happy Easter with the boys❣️
Happy Easter to you and boys!!
