    I have to mention, as others have, that the tiled floor in the salon is so beautiful, thank goodness the vandals didn’t damage it. The welded door to keep the electrics safe was a smart move. 😊

      Those tiled floors (known here as hydraulic tiles that are very sought after) sustain much more abuse than any other modern tiled floor, I know from experience as I have them in my kitchen and hallway from my 100+ year old house.

    We know why they welded that basement door shut and thankfully they did too. You have a heating system that is complete and probably still usable too. Wow. Nice! Those floor tiles are actually beautiful as well. Lots of salvageable parts and pieces that are still there. Have a great day

    The welding was very obviously done “like a fly that poops” on purpose so it would eventually be opened up again at a later time.

    The floor tiles are SENSATIONAL! I love that you are meticulously keeping (and cataloguing) any part of the chateau that will help in its renovation. Just clearing out the rooms bit by bit and cleaning them will feel like some level of achievement and make the renovation of the chateau so much nicer to work in. It is great to see you opening up some of the hidden pats of the building, but I hope that you still have enough security in place to prevent these parts from being damaged. It would be heart breaking to give vandals access to areas they have not been privy to. It is hard enough to battle the elements without the extra damage by uncaring idiots. Good luck! I am hooked on watching your journey.

    We learned with Dan (Escape to Rural France) that brick arches don't always indicate a previous opening that has been blocked in. It seems masons and bricklayers use arches throughout a wall to add further stability to the overall structure of the wall.

    You guys have bought a beautiful family home. Best of luck and best wishes to you both. Wish I could come and help out. Although I’m a 65 year old lady I have many skills taught by my Dad. We took 11 years to renovate our 100 year old home that had been left to decay for decades. (We lovingly referred to it as Camp Runamuck). We did it ourselves as money was tight. For Christmas my parents would buy a new toilet or sink etc to put in the house. As a teen I learned grouting, electric etc as I was the eldest. These skills have done me well over the years. I have daughters who are very self sufficient and I am always the consultant/helper. Sending the 2 of you all my Love. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. I watch all of the Pethricks. My Mom lived in a small Convent in Canada every school year and I have always been fascinated by our French ancestors. And I am married to an Archeologist so together we love researching ancient things.

    Just sweeping the floor, and finding the beautiful floor was exciting. What a difference already just from sweeping, and clearing out the rubbish. Your Chateau de Mucky Mansion is going to be gorgeous. Stan has a lot more restraint than I do. The windows & shudders being welded shut would have had me all kinds of ticked off. Speaking of welding, and now grinding, Stan needs to wear glasses. I have a friend who lost his sight in one eye from a spark hitting his eyeball. Don't you love that people have done so much destruction, and someone welds the door shut to where the cleaning products are. Twits! When Sadie mentioned mold, it made me think that when they're going in to new areas, they should be wearing gloves, Eyewear, & masks. Mold is very bad for your lungs to breath in. I know you all have your own mum & dad, but the mum in me is all about protection. I love your chateau. ❤

    I have worked in construction for many years and a few things that I would do are as follows. Find a room with no windows that can be secured and use it as an equipment room for all of your tool and other supplies. Select a large downstairs room for lumber and material storage near a door, it would help if it was near another large room that could be set up as a wood working shop. Also if any of the rooms floors are in good shape and you want to save them, put some OSB down to save them from harm. You are going to be spending the next year or 2 on demo, clean up, and repair. The more organized you are to start with, the better in the long run you will be over all.

    So many beautiful features like the floor tiles and that oak paneling 🥰🥰🥰 Please take care as you go through the different areas. Stan’s anger at the shotty welding is refreshing, just a sign of his passion and respect for historical buildings as well as integrity at properly doing jobs. A day of hard work and exploration-Love it! Well done! 👏🏼💖🙏🏼👏🏼💖🙏🏼

    Sadie, the tile in the staircase hall resembles the tiles from another Chateau I watch. Escape to rural France has that. He removed them from his entry hall as well to preserve them as he rebuilds the entire chateau

    Stan don’t get angry they were trying desperately to protect the building. Also Stan your knowledge of history and a multitude of subjects is amazing! Remember what ever sloppy it was done to save not destroy

      @ true. This building has been abandoned for 40 plus years. So the municipality did it the easiest way they saw fit over the decades to keep people from trashing it

  • @camillewinnie27

    This really is a beautiful château and there are so many elements that are still intact so you can see how it was before it fell into disrepair and was vandalized. I love that tile floor in the entryway. It looks like it’s still in really good condition, so hopefully you can save it. It will be fun to watch you. Bring this old beauty back to life.

    This place is AMAZING! So unbelievably well built and the technology they had back then is unbelievable! I don't think we have the ability to build structures like that today! I think there was something going on back then that is being hidden. Hiding history seems to be the thing that whoever controls the world loves to do. Almost feels EVIL. Thank you for ALL YOU DO MY FRIENDS and GOD BLESS 🙏❤️✌️🙏

      They certainly did their best to secure it with all the welding but online content creators will do anything to break in to these places.

      You may want to buy good vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters and also trays and boxes to organize little bits of the building you find, so you can organize and find bits in years to come. You may want to start notebooks to document where you find these architectural bits too, rather like how archaeologists document their digs.

      I thought I recognised Billy's handiwork and direction in this video, I innitially gave this video a wide berth as i thought it was Katie Price's cash cow/err project, by the title. i wish you well but to use that name as Katy Price is poison (allegedly) may limit your viewership and therefore subs.

  • @KibuFox
    @KibuFox หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It might be in your best interests to remove the mortar and do something of an exploratory look into that old brick arch, as if there is a fireplace still there, you could further restore the chateau back to its original layout, while also adding more to the room.
