    I am a Master carpenter myself and i love watching how you guys have made this burnt out stone brick slowly come back to life. I will say though that nobody in their right mind would ever bother doing a project like this on a old stone mini castle as it is just so much issues with adaptation and regulations etc. But that is exactly why i love this series. Taking on a completely insane project and just going for it is mostly the dream of any carpenter with enough money, time and friends. Keep up the good work and i cannot wait to follow this project to the end.

    Idea for the turret - how to see out of the windows: Build a 30” wide wooden walkway around the perimeter of the room at a height where the stone meets the cinder block. As there is already a ledge that you can extend and support with either 45 degree bracing back to the stone wall beneath or a simple floor joists system. It would maintain the internal height of the turret room while being at a suitable height, while standing, to provide 360 degree view from the sum of the four windows. At 30” wide there appears there will be sufficient headroom to clear the inward slope of the roof. 😎👍

    You could install a very narrow winding metal staircase (with railings) along the insides of the tower that lead up to the turret. Then, you could have a narrow walkway around the inside of the turret so people can see out the windows. This will give you access to the beautiful view, it will not interfere with the natural light coming in and it would be an absolutely kicka$$ feature of the château.

    It would be a good idea to remove the ivy from garden wall while you can access it with a machine. The ivy will eventually penetrate the mortar and weaken the wall. Left long enough it will literally crack and disassemble the wall.

    • @LaReynedeNeige

      Not true. A regularly-repeated fallacy. Only problematic if the wall is badly built or in bad shape. It will actually protect it from being weathered.

    • @denisevincent4050
      @denisevincent4050 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's been there for 40 years, but I suspect that the worst damage occurred when the fire baked the old mortar into dust. Team Chaumont has removed vegetation and repointed the mortar (and replaced missing bricks with more durable modern bricks) as needed. You might enjoy going back to Spring 2024 to watch every vlog.

Definitely need some more battons across the turret windows - the Tarps are going to take some serious beatings during the winter if today's video with Autumn weather is anything the go by. Please put some perspect covers up there it would be tragic if it go wet and ruined all you hard work in that location and all of the others below it.

    1 minute in. I can't help myself. Well, I could. Raining and miserable in Toronto, Canada, but we're happy to see "our" Chateau growing and growin. Gosh, golly, I was so glad you covered the turret. I worried for a week! Now, what about the two flappy bits on the other roofs? I really want to hear about the editing. Dan, do you do it yourself after work every night? Maybe others have asked that same question. Cheers!

      It's no felt, but a plastic membrane, with plastic tarp on the tower. I suspect they will fasten the flappy bits when they finish the roof between the mansard roofs and the tower.

    You have got to put a gallery up at least in the turret, those views, raise the floor, decorative staircase. Le lande were given a short wooden step ladder/stairs by a closing antique shop, maybe 8 to 10 steps, something like that or a small spiral staircase up to a plafeform, 3 armchairs a telescope, and drinks cabinet as you watch the mist roll in over that amazing treescape on moon lit nights. A contemplation space. It's all looking amazing, well done what an achievement by essentially 3 talented, skilled, can do Guys, some ropes and a few trucks and a lot of imagination.

    Those of us who are true Arteests,
    it's well known we don't have the "measuring gene".
    Eye-balling, and better yet,
    holding the object in place to determine where the cut needs to go works much better!

    Gusaf Eiffel actually built an apartment high up in the Eiffel tower. It's still there...
    The room at the top of the tower needs to be a bedroom for a princess... What else is a tower for?
    Dragons entirely optional.

    • @halvarf

      Agree! Not building a floor in the proper height for the windows would be a sin! Those windows will have the most brilliant view of the whole chateau, and in all four directions!

      Spiral staircases are lethal accidents hotspots, whereas a continuation of whatever the main staircase design is, but just a mini version would be perfect. Exactly what some friends with a period property did when converting the attic space. Staircase looked as though it had always been there and looked amazing as in the same wood.

    Looks amazing! And it's a lot more comfortable to watch than watching you guys dangling off the roof. For context, I have an incredible fear of heights; so strong, watching other people negotiating high places creates a lot of anxiety for me. I got through watching you guys do your work by constantly reminding myself that, if you posted a video about it, nobody got hurt. But your results are coming along great! I am pround of you.

  • @pietersmits7485

    On the turret: maybe rise the floor, so you can look out of the windows, and make a big hidden treasure trove under that floor. Make it a surprise room just like the gimmicks in Lego-castles.
