I was so surprised at how gentle the person was pulling the staircase off the wall
Obviously he has done this before. Great job
It made me think about how many men (toys) say "ooh I'd love to have one of those, how much I could/would be able to do" This man shows that it's not just about having the equipment but knowing how to use it! (No double entender intended!) He would have to have advanced math & analytical deduction skills, as well as handling all of the machines many levers, knobs & sticks to move smoothly, unlike the average "bull in a china shop" !!! (Wow that was enlightening!😮)
That was amazing!
To watch someone who knows what they are doing, is working it out slowly, has the right equipment is a pure pleasure.
My heart is happy to see Shadow doing so well. You are making your world a kinder and gentler place to be. Thank you.
Your cinematography is outstanding! The removal of the stairs with surgical precision, your contractor was so gentle, what a feat. Thank you for Shadows update, he is indeed looking very healthy and fit with all the thanks to you (and your donors). Congratulations to your daughter. So much going on in this video, it was amazing! Now, go get some rose!
The staircase removal was crazy to watch. I love the chairs you are saving, hope we get to hear about them later.
I agree, crazy removal very well done and great chairs!! Impressive racing by your daughter! Ty for the video😊
(Oh, Pickle 💖 you are a cutie. Reminds me of my cat Persephone)
Such a delicate removal. You have found a treasure in your contractor! Amanda, I LOVE those chairs. They are going to look great in the cottage.
The skill and patience the stair removal gentleman used was very impressive! I am very happy to see Shadow thriving so well! Your daughter! How fun! 🩷
Very impressive!
Pickle is always in a pickle... and it's great seeing Shadow thrive. Maybe one day he'll decide to hang up his boots and move in with you and the rest of the gang.
You guys are absolutely amazing! So glad to watch another episode. Bring on the rosè
NOOOOOOO! Out of Rosé? Show’s over!!!! Lincoln’s mentor/‘chateau whisperer’ is able to perform the most delicate ‘house surgery’ with that orange machine of his - crazy!!! It was as though I was in the operating theatre watching the master surgeon and his apprentice. Stunning to witness the skill!
Beautiful copper beech trees, light and landscape.
I’m so glad you showed the details of the staircase removal. It’s laborious and takes ingenuity to do a project like this. TV glosses over all the steps (and patience) that is needed. Also, your daughter’s race let my imagination spin to think what it would be like to be an American teenager growing up in France. Plus, cat cam. This channel has it all! 👍🏻
😁
Amazing what that man can do with his digger! I watched the beams going in . WOW!!!
Well said! I agree completely!
The digger man is truly an artiste! Great for this female motorbike rider to see your daughter competing against men! Good on her! Would love to hear how she's doing. Is it some kind of championship? Thank her for letting you show it please both, as it's so refreshing to see a female in a man's world 😊 P.S. I'm no 'feminist'!
The drone footage of the sunset and your beautiful trees was amazing, the fallen one looked black as if struck by lightening at some point?
Cheers and hope you now have some of this gorgeous weather we're now at last getting here in England 🌞🌞🌞
Just love how green everything is around you. So good for the soul.
At one stage I thought the stair case was going to flatten like a deck of cards. Great but nerve wracking job.
I was watching the man remove the stairs and my son came in the room. I told him the man is great on the backhoe. He said he was a surgeon. Live to watch your progress and animals!
AsLincoln probably told you the embankment is called a Talus. A feature of your area.
I can’t get over the removal of your staircase by the genius with a mini pel. Truly amazing. Love the chairs you found in the barn. They will look stunning in the cottage Glad your four legged children are going from strength to strength. I gather from other comments your daughter won the race? Yippeeee well done that young lady👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣👌👌👌🥇🥇🏣🩶
I love that you saved that beautiful staircase! I can't wait to see it cleaned up and put back into place. Great job! But I sure was holding my breath during removal!
Stair removal was amazing to watch!! Amazing. Bravo!! !!
Also that construction/tractor/demolition man you have working with you deserves a BIG pint of beer after that staircase job! He was amazing!!
Your daughter: WOW! I hope your cat is fine. Very nice video. Greetings from Spain
Bloody hell! No rose!!! Call emergency services immediately.
I so enjoy every second of these gorgeous vlogs! Often I am multitasking while catching up on the people I follow. Not true with you! I am locked in, just enjoying the story and visual buffet.
Glad you like them!
This fella you hired appears to be able to do it all. He doesn't happen to be a veterinarian, farrier, and arborist as well?
That's a very well built and durable staircase.
😂
Amazing staircase removal! And the surprise cane backed chairs find was awesome. Sorry the weather is so awful. Fantastic progress! Can’t wait to see the new floor poured
Shadow is indeed looking so much better!
Yes, we’re so happy :)
Pay that man! Incredible.
He’s paid :)
On the bright side you don’t have to water the beds, you have firewood forever and the cat seems to be doing well.
The cottage is coming along beautifully.
Love to see the design plans and inspiration boards for the cottage. Love your channel ❤
Coming soon!
I thought the lorry was your rose' wine delivery 😂😊. Xx
😂
Glad Pickle is feeling better and Shadow is doing well. He is a very handsome cat. 💕
Wow that guy with the digger has some skill
Epic staircase manouver,great tradesmen
I’m so impressed by your helper. He’s worth his weight in gold 🥇
What a remarkable process! And the Kubota skills? Wow.
Awww no donkeys.. really enjoyed watching the stair case removed and the space cleared.. loved your sense of humour and well done to your daughter 👏🏻
The drone shots of your property are magnificent!
Thank goodness you had help to take those stairs down and out! What a colossal job! Thanks for sharing the news about Pickle and Shadow. Bonne continuation with the rest of the cottage renos. Cheers 🇨🇦
"Bocage" from the Normandie 'boscage' - a field or meadow surrounded by a earthen bank covered with trees and shrubs, sometimes bordered by a sunken road on one or more sides. The bocage of Brittany have a particularly fascinating history during WW2, if you care to look into it. Lovely to see the beautiful Shadow hail and healthy. Best wishes.
I held my breath a few times with that staircase. Glad your helper had such skill with that digger. Look forward to seeing your vlog every week!
Just love you guys
My goodness, you could never be bored living at your chateau! Always something to do, something to fix, something renovate, something to watch, something to build, something to clean up and some place to go enjoy the beauty, and something new to discover. Happy weekend!
Yes! Thank you!
I so enjoy your videos. Thank you for keeping them coming! Between the progress you’re making on the chateau and grounds, the beautiful landscape pictures and your pleasant, witty voiceover, your videos are a joy to watch that I always look forward to.
Me too, you two crack me up😂🎉❤
You’re a great team! I’m amazed that you always know how to do all the tasks_ good luck with the cottage, and get a rose order in!
U r very lucky u have great neighbors to help u out.❤
Thanks for the Shadow update. His tail is so much better and he looks much healthier. That staircase extraction was something to see, so carefully executed.
Rose' for everyone in celebration of the beautiful staircase removal! That was something to see! And whew - am I right?
We love super fast Lincoln! Makes the honeydew list go quick! So restful to see the evening light fade against the beautiful stone walls of your buildings, Thank you so much for having us! Shadow middle name "Bob" looks good!
That shot you took looking up at the Chateau with the branches in the foreground and the glowing lights at dusk was breathtaking. I love your videos ❤👍
Held my breath the whole staircase removal. Great job. So happy Shadow is looking healthy and Pickle is well again.
Every video brings you that much closer to the finish! Way to go
Im on vacay and waking up to this is🥰❤!
The tradesman, and Lincoln, worked well together on the staircase. It's fascinating to watch heavy equipment operators using the equipment for delicate projects. Kudos to those guys.
Hi Amanda and Lincoln, I am so happy you were able to save the staircase, your guy did an amazing job on getting it down. Keep the outhouse. Shadow is looking so healthy and happy. Thanks for your love and care for them. Love from N.Y.
😊
Out of Rose! The horror! How are you surviving?
The was a nice sink in the cottage. Glad to hear you're thinking of repurposing it.
Brave men doing all that work under the staircase. More super human feats of strength. Kubota should sponsor your renovation given all the screen time they get. Riveting action taking that staircase down and out. It's like watching a Mission Impossible movie!
Good for your daughter! I bet your so proud!
Nice way to end the video with majestic views, smoothing music and birds chirping to counter all the hustle and bustle of the staircase adventure. Yay for Pickle and Shadow!
Thanks for another beautiful video.
The staircase removal was nerve wracking. The gentleman that you hire did a great job. As for the weather in Brittany lately, wet! The thunderstorms and rain have been crazy! When will summer arrive?
We’re waiting 😎
Wow!! What someone can do with a digger! 🙌 😅
AND good for your daughter 👏🏻
I'm glad to see Shadow is happy, healthy and has a full belly. Thank you for caring for all the 'strays' that make their way to your barns and into your home.
The ongoing projects and happenings are interesting. Your nature shots are beautiful. Thank you.
Amazing removal of the staircase! Love the go cart footage! Thanks for sharing. 😊
So much to enjoy in this video. The audacity and tension of getting out that staircase. Wow. Your drone shots are splendid. Love the serrated horizon at 21:00. The pastel sky - simply beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Graceful staircase, assume you are planning to put it back
Talented men!! So fascinating.
"...and we're out of rose" 🤣🤣
Great music choices again. It added to the surreal quality of watching a staircase float across your lawn.
Big job getting that staircase down and disassembled! Watching the fella on the digger work was fascinating! Sorry for the downed tree....but glad it did no damage to the structures. Bravo for your brave girl to continue to go up against the "boys" in her chosen sport! This will serve her well in life! Would love to see your girls but fully understand their not wanting to be revealed. Bravo for honoring that as well. Shadow has made a super recovery! Thanks for all your efforts for these sweet kitties! Cheers!
Your property is so pretty ❤
Getting those stairs out is epic. It is great to see Shadow doing well. Glad Pebbles is feeling better, also.❤
Oh my...love the donkeys. Just read a story about a run away donkey now living with herd of deer . Having a wonderful time. So glad your donkeys have each other. Not run away with your deer visitors. Keep up the great work. Love your kittys.
What a lovely space to have a nice patio area lovely idea. Great that he put a French drain in there against that wall your cottage so there’s no further damage long-term or dampness coming into the cottage. 👍🏾 thank you for sharing the removal of the steps. It’s great that he took the effort and care with the stairs.👏🏼👏🏼 The chairs with the Kane would be lovely in the cottage.
I like to hear that your daughter, is competitive nature in racing. ❤ Thank you for sharing!
Great video, and thank you for not glamorizing the hard work involved. It is so much better to see the reality. I really appreciate all of the effort you both put in to the projects.
Amazing skill taking the staircase down. Delicate
I remember when we moved from San Diego to Oregon and had a snowpocalypse our first winter there. I grew up in San Diego and we had heat days in school, not snow days. All was well in our winter wonderland until we ran out of Chardonnay and then it went downhill from there.
I've never seen a staircase removed . Took lot skill . Love those chairs.
More hidden treasures please.
Oh Shadow really is looking so great, so healthy, thanks to your kindness. 😊Pickles is really a character, as you said from the beginning😅. I just knew one of the farmers would take that tree out for you. Good people. ❤❤❤
Doing a great job
Now that was an exciting video, watching that staircase being removed was a heart in the mouth moment. Glad you did not damage it.
So exciting to see you move forward with the cottage renovations. As one of your biggest fans I can’t wait to see how you decorate it. I like how you salvage items and also try to repurpose things. I am so happy Pickle is feeling better and Shadow is looking well. Take care & be safe.
Make that area a veggie garden (or a flower cutting) and that funny little building storage for the garden tools. And a small bistro set on a small, slate patio in among the plants. A nice, relaxiing spot to think, be in nature and listen to the birds...🐧🥀🌿
Every week I am astounded by the progress you have made. Incredible! The very best thing however, is you brought in Some help!
Bravo! I am so sorry you also had a sick kitty. It looked like Pickle?
I was in Brittany several times during the month of June and almost froze to death. I had to put the wall heater on in the Gite every night before I even took off my coat. Burrrrrrrr….the cold winds blowing off the channel are freezing!
Things are coming along nicely and it will be charming !
PS. You are blessed with kind neighbors. I too have kind generous neighbors. Such a blessing!!
Shadow!!!!! He looks great!!
So much better!
I so look forward to these videos, exciting work at the cottage, you have a very talented helper there very patient.
Removing that staircase was quite a feat. Patience I’m sure was needed!
Wow.....to see everything being done so carefully and well is awesome!! You have an amazing neighbour who has the proper equipment that was so needed. Well done and am so happy that you preserved the staircase...it is beautiful and original. This cottage is going to last many more 100's years because of what you are going. Well done!! The drone shots are amazing and again...what a wonderful neighbour to help with the fallen tree. I'm so glad that Shadow is doing so well...he is beautiful!
That was a huge task... Glad Pickles is doing better.... And loved the update on Smokey. Hugs stay safe 🤗
Wow...masters at work!! Exciting to watch!!
The Tangerine Dream (ish!) soundtrack is chef’s kiss, thank you!
I thought the reversing lorry was the rosè delivery!!
🤣
Yes yes keep that little outhouse building for France's smallest bar. Fascinating watch.
If I was not already committed to your channel….Go Karts did it! LOL I am a Sports Car enthusiast and Off Road Motoperson as well so it was fun to see this new part of your life in France! As always a wonderful video!😊
I am just entranced by your Beautiful Home and property in France! Absolutely Charming and really a dream for sure!
That is great footage of the staircase removal. Remarkable! And your sense of humor is priceless.
Loved to watch how a staircase is removed i could never imagine my hubby having the patience!
Hey go you younger daughter ❤ i love to see us females showing the guys how its done wishing you great success and much fun ❤
Shadow is looking great and super that he turns up for food hes living the high life and glad that pickle is much better i have two rescues and they are a worry !
I can imagine how this lovely cottage will look when its done - i know you probably wont rent it out ( who wants nosey tourists i know i wouldnt 😅😅) but i hope you do !
Thanks as always for sharing you are my fav channel ❤
I was doubtful about the staircase removal, but it turned out great! Glad the cars are well and great neighbors to help with the fallen tree! ❤
Wow, that was some fine engineering getting that curved staircase down in one piece, then successfully cutting it in two and moving it...kudos! Beautiful aerial shots! Good to see Pickle well and Shadow still making contact.
Great video. I appreciate the fact that you protect your daughter’s privacy but enjoyed the sharing of her racing hobby….girl power! Nice update on the cats.good progress on the staircase.
BEST WISHES FROM N.J.
The lovely staircase! It's so beautiful. What great care with the staircase! Nice find in the barn!!! Love your narrating Amanda!
This is the best chateau vlog; so creative, funny, informative, and inspirational. You feed my soul. You’re soul food!
Glad you enjoyed it!
With a little roofing work, you have a perfect open bar area for your cottage terrace!
Wow! How lucky you got a GENIUS to help you, he’s awesome!
This is exciting! Can't wait to see the start of rebuilding the cottage! BTW, you need to get a tractor like this🙏😀👍
Absolutely riveting episode !! What a treat to find this ready to watch on this dull Saturday morning. Your filming captured all the critical moments of the staircase removal. Your contractor obviously knows what he is doing and has lots of experience. Lots accomplished this week !!
