that opening shot is simply breathtaking! From where you start to where the first second of this video starts, blows my mind how much you all have accomplished together! France owes you all a debt of gratitude for saving this beautiful château. You have gotten people from around the world to come togetherto celebrate each and everyone of your hard one accomplishments. This is why this is my favorite channel on TH-cam.
La France vous doit à tous une dette de gratitude pour avoir sauvé ce beau château? La France ? Il y a d'autres châteaux plus historiques que celui-ci qui mériteraient d'être restaurés .Sachez monsieur que Je ne dois rien à ces messieurs. Et qui puisait ne font aucun effort pour parler le Français. PS: Je n'ai jamais vu de l'OSB dans une construction ancienne. Bien à vous.

@@1952758 This is a 20th century building, its historic value isn't in the architecture.
@@1952758this does have historical significance as well, to many people around the globe. There has been a movie about the history and the people this chateau saved AND it’s been filmed in France, in French only. But I’m surprised by your offensive reaction - why are you even here in this page, then?
@@1952758Brendan Behan put my feelings towards carping critics perfectly adequately. Et pour votre information, le français de Dan est courant, ce que vous sauriez si vous n'affichiez pas simplement votre âme amère.
@@1952758This is the most stereotypical French response ever. Offended over nothing, complains about someone not speaking French, and then repeats complaints you've made before that no one cares about.
My father was a Civil Engineer. I was brought up on construction. Today I’m 78 and still love construction. I look forward to watching your progress on this monumental task. Thanks, Dan, for your sharing. A lady from North Carolina.
@@angleseaw I'm 78 and have lived in NC all my life. My husband of 32 years died in 2006. I really enjoy seeing Dan and Nick and Brian and all the rest helping to bring this beautiful building and grounds back to life. I hopefully look forward to seeing it completed one day.
Dan - this is just incredible to watch. I often forget it's just you guys there doing the work and there isn't a separate camera crew. The level of production, editing, music addition, in your vlog makes this comparable to a typical BBC production, just even better considering it's just you guys doing ALL of this. Chuffed here enjoying your collective accomplishments! Cheers!
It is insane that I consistently enjoy watching every video and I am crestfallen when there isn’t a posting for the day. I am old, I have never been involved in building construction, nor do I plan on building my own chateau, yet here I am every single day. Keep up the stellar work and thanks for the hours of enjoyment.
I am french and live in Lyon and Brittany. I have 78 and have restaured old stones. I have lot of respect for this English people who restore our patrimoine often 19 eme siecle and are able to find financement by mariages, gites etc . Je pense qu'il faut voir ces projets comme très positifs. C'est très triste de voir tous ces beaux châteaux abandonnes avec parfois tout l'ameublement à l'intérieur. Ceux qui les restorent anglais ou Français et trouvent les moyens de le faire sont très courageux et creatifs. J'aime regarder ces restorations sur youtube qui redonnent la vie à notre patrimoine. Bravo à eux.
Oui, vraiment. C'est tous des champions. Je ne reviens toujours pas du bon travail que Nick fait. Chapeau Nick. Je regarde vos vidéos du Québec en passant.
Well, I knew this day would come where I’d finally boohoo when I saw a point I knew you were actually going to be able to get THERE!! Today was that day! Big deep breaths & some tears. Since day one you playing that driving music on the way to your 2nd job, we’ve come a long way together. Unfortunately you don’t know me like I know you but this has been a joy for me so far. Just think of the hours I’ve wasted watching you say: “SeeYA……..tomorrow!” 🥰
Seeing all the electric tools needed to restore the chateau makes me wonder how they built it with only manpower in the first place! Great job guys! What a lovely day to build!
They probably had more than three men! I suppose back then manpower was cheap and machinery expensive, perhaps the opposite of today. I guess a steam powered crane or winch would not have been impossible. Does anyone know if such things were often used?
Of all the chanel subscriptions I have here on TH-cam , " Escape To Rural France " is my top favorite . Hands down . ( im one of your original subscribers ) It continues to be so pleasurable to watch you grow and see the daily progress on what was once a RUIN , into what can now be "officially" called a CHÂTEAU .
Je suis émerveillé du travail que vous faites pour reconstruire un château de mon pays (je vis en Bretagne). Je suis un vieux soldat et le patrimoine de la France a beaucoup de valeur à mes yeux, c'est la raison pour laquelle j'ai beaucoup de reconnaissant pour le travail que vous effectuez. Je note au passage, qu'enfin vous n'êtes plus seul sur le chantier et que Nick et Brian vous aident efficacement. I am amazed at the work you do to rebuild a castle in my country (I live in Brittany). I am an old soldier and the heritage of France has a lot of value in my eyes, which is why I am very grateful for the work you do. I note in passing, that finally you are no longer alone on the construction site and that Nick and Brian help you effectively.
@@ehpeachylove Oui, j'ai 38 ans de service dans l'Infanterie de l'armée française. Comme vous le savez les anglais sont nos "adorables adversaires" depuis des centaines d'années 😊.

Vraiment, en dehors de suivre leur travail, j'éprouve une grande reconnaissance pour ce qu'ils font. Yes, I have 38 years of service in the Infantry of the French Army. As you know, the English have been our "adorable adversaries" for hundreds of years 😊. But I feel a real sympathy for what these English citizens do for a castle in MY country.

Oh Dan 😂, I just laughed outloud at the tag left on from your Festool cap! It harkens back to the days of comments saying your fly was down, your underwear was showing, tags were left on your clothes, your white t shirts stayed white!! Who else remembers that!
Shoes untied the plastic tag was hanging on his clothes. That’s exactly what my husband would look like if I wasn’t around. I still have to remind him all the time that his shoes untied. Certain things are important to certain people and other things are not.

i know there's an enormous amount of work left on the exterior alone, but that profile of the chateau just looks amazing! Well done! (glad you're on the mend!)
Dan,Nick,Brian construction crew. You guys have done a fantastic job in all the construction of the chateau. It is incredible to see all the building taking place. Everyday a new addition. Well boys until tomorrow. Please, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🕊🌹❤️🌈👍🌞🙏😇🇺🇸
Welcome back Dan.The front view of the Chateau is absolutely beautiful.The top view also.The cement gang really had a work out today.Thanks Dan,Nick,and Brian You all certainly deserve 🍺🍺🍺🥰
I just found your project. What you’ve done is truly magnificent. I gather you had the weathered walls repointed and injected with an epoxy concrete. They use this in California brick and stone buildings to strengthen them after an earthquake quake. Many buildings do survive the earth quakes here in California, but they’re never shown because it doesn’t sell adds. Freezing and thawing is the real enemy to integral stone work. This task can be done at any time if you haven’t already. I’m sorry I haven’t gone through your earlier vids…..perhaps I should. The present vids are so very captivating, and the roofing is superlative. The turret roof is liken to a sail in the high winds and must be anchored to the masonry. Its own weight means nothing in a gale. The walls must be mined of failed mortar. It’s an arduous process, but it makes for an imperviousness that will be unshakable. I would’ve created an interior superstructure of steel eye beams and also an anchoring to the walls, but not to just bare its weight on the walls, but to support the walls..one & with. This would assure rigidity of both stonewall and steel cage. ….and yes, I would’ve done the same with the tower. Just for fun, Google the restoration of the White House during the Truman Administration. The raw interior walls were all repointed and anchors were placed within to clad on a poured concrete inner layer to the wall for an assured integrity to the massive height of sheer stone upon stone. Earth quakes on the East Coast of the US happen like clock work every 200 years. The WH too suffered a great fire and weakening the mortar. As for the cupola roof: I would anchor it by attaching four heavy bronze/copper cables (not steel) at each corner of the roof structure and vertically run them down the interior corns of the tower well to just above the second floor whereby an anchoring would be placed and then several more anchors placed every 6” going up the wall in the corners. This would distribute any stress. And in unrelated task would be several lightening roods that are all grounded by thick woven copper cables. The reason for the other copper cables to tie the roof in place is due to never rusting. Those four anchoring cables will be covered up for ever within building out the walls from with in. Stone houses are a total -itch to heat. You’ll need to fur out all the walls with an insulted material. You should also have a cistern and pumping system somewhere on the property in case of fire….and that the water spout will reach to the roof. I do hope you’re installing a sprinkler system too. Is a Fire Brigade nearby? A house can fully burn down in 20 minutes. Please please put in a sprinkler system. It will save your family and preserve all your efforts.
I'm totally impressed by the amount of physical work there has been so far on the building. Having been in construction my entire career, I know that getting the roof done is a big thing, but I also know the extreme amount of work left. Just be careful guys. Its not worth being crippled for the rest of your lives.
Hope you are feeling better Dan. I have been watching you from the beginning. up til a year ago it was on my grandson’s account. It means so much to follow you on the journey. You are areal man. I am old enough to be your Grandmother probably so I know men like you are far and few between. Kisses to your darling babies from Mississippi. Stay safe all of you.🙏
So good to see you back Dan. What a grind to get all of the concrete up there in buckets one at a time. 😓 You gents need a massage therapist, a hot tub and an ice bath. Man Nicks arms must have grown a bit from that job. Not the job you want to come back to after being sick, but you did it as you always do. Nick and Dan are the glue that keep you moving one day at a time, none of you want to stop now until it’s all closed in because the winters coming soon.
I bet the chateau is drying out nicely where you’ve fitted the new roofs. I can’t wait to see it all water tight and tiled. Hope you’re feeling better soon
Beautiful work! I love seeing it come together! I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say I cannot wait to see the entire roof completed and have that original shape back!
Am beginning to think that if Dan did the occasional landmark livestream, there'd be encampments of tourist and locals outside following along, delivering a great cheer at the end of the day. And then chucking hot burritos / bladders of wine or mulled beer (what?) etc over the wall for the well deserved appreciation of all. Anyway...
So amazing to watch you three mixing and bringing those small buckets of mixed concrete up to the 5th level. It was painful to watch and with some anxiety wishing you guys had a cement truck with a crane. Anyway, another amazing job. So happy and exciting for you.
This has to be one of the most epic restorations ever to happen in France let alone elsewhere Think you all need a Gittane and a cold beer after all that mixing and lugging concrete 😂
What a Herculean task!! Nobody's ever gonna call you boys lazy.
No way. These youngmen R AMAZING🎉 THEY WORK VERY HARD. 👏 AND THEY DO EXCELLENT WORK. VERY GREAT TEAMWORK🎉
GOOD TO SEE U R WELL AGAIN DAN😊 AND CRACKIN ON!!🎉

Exhausting work but u are a very rich man, because u have some truly amazing friends! A true lifelong blessing!! ❤❤❤❤
You men have never staggered at any hard work and now once again that quality comes up
Watching you guys build that turret is going to be epic!
They aren't good enough. Hopefully the Mason comes back
I'm glad you took care of that job. Well done gentlemen,I'm happy for you. Give yourselves a break you've certainly earned it;

I just found your project. What you’ve done is truly magnificent. I gather you had the weathered walls repointed and injected with an epoxy concrete. They use this in California brick and stone buildings to strengthen them after an earthquake quake. Many buildings do survive the earth quakes here in California, but they’re never shown because it doesn’t sell adds.
Freezing and thawing is the real enemy to integral stone work. This task can be done at any time if you haven’t already. I’m sorry I haven’t gone through your earlier vids…..perhaps I should. The present vids are so very captivating, and the roofing is superlative. The turret roof is liken to a sail in the high winds and must be anchored to the masonry. Its own weight means nothing in a gale. The walls must be mined of failed mortar. It’s an arduous process, but it makes for an imperviousness that will be unshakable. I would’ve created an interior superstructure of steel eye beams and also an anchoring to the walls, but not to just bare its weight on the walls, but to support the walls..one & with. This would assure rigidity of both stonewall and steel cage. ….and yes, I would’ve done the same with the tower.
Just for fun, Google the restoration of the White House during the Truman Administration. The raw interior walls were all repointed and anchors were placed within to clad on a poured concrete inner layer to the wall for an assured integrity to the massive height of sheer stone upon stone. Earth quakes on the East Coast of the US happen like clock work every 200 years. The WH too suffered a great fire and weakening the mortar.
As for the cupola roof: I would anchor it by attaching four heavy bronze/copper cables (not steel) at each corner of the roof structure and vertically run them down the interior corns of the tower well to just above the second floor whereby an anchoring would be placed and then several more anchors placed every 6” going up the wall in the corners. This would distribute any stress. And in unrelated task would be several lightening roods that are all grounded by thick woven copper cables.
The reason for the other copper cables to tie the roof in place is due to never rusting. Those four anchoring cables will be covered up for ever within building out the walls from with in. Stone houses are a total -itch to heat. You’ll need to fur out all the walls with an insulted material.
You should also have a cistern and pumping system somewhere on the property in case of fire….and that the water spout will reach to the roof. I do hope you’re installing a sprinkler system too.
Is a Fire Brigade nearby? A house can fully burn down in 20 minutes. Please please put in a sprinkler system. It will save your family and preserve all your efforts.
That is a job no ordinary person would accomplish. Kudos to all of you.
The excitement of lifting 100 buckets of cement must have shaken that man-flu off, Dan!
Great achievement today Team Chaumont!
It's always so amazing to watch the A Team at work! Hope you're better, Dan❤
It's a grand palace, Dan! I can't wait to visit!❤
Well done lads, you're a force to be reckoned with....grafters ,all of you , take care 👍
Just another Dan, Nick and Brian day in rural France … always interesting and fascinating.
Great to see you feeling better Dan. Nice to see the 3 musketeers together again….👏👏👏👏👏👏🏴🇬🇧
WOW. Your dedication to the project is absolutely sublime. Go Dan go. Love it. ❤
That is quite the operation you put together to get that cement up to the turret. Wow!

Great to see you back. Keep safe all of you. ❤️❤️❤️
Gotta say Dan, you've chosen well in the equipment you've invested in for lifting things up. ❤❤
It’s a pleasure to see the turret being rebuilt. Best of luck with the beautiful restoration of the chateau.
Glad you and the team are back, my mornings aren't the same without a video, cup of tea and watch Dan and the team,
Welcome back, please do not over do it. ❤❤❤❤
Three strapping, manly men hulking up buckets of cement like it was the weekly shopping. I love this channel.
Amazing endurance to pour this ring just bucket by bucket five floors up! Well done again!
Installing the roof structure has totally changed and strengthened the overall appearance of your chateau. It's quite stunning!
Remember talking about being done with the roof by Christmas... I'm thinking Thanksgiving.. Y'all killing it ❤😊
Glad you are back, Dan. Its a good day for a vlog of hauling cement to rebuild the turret.
Hope you are feeling better Dan. I have been watching you from the beginning. up til a year ago it was on my grandson’s account. It means so much to follow you on the journey. You are areal man. I am old enough to be your Grandmother probably so I know men like you are far and few between. Kisses to your darling babies from Mississippi. Stay safe all of you.🙏
Good morning. She is coming along awesome with time. Cannot wait to see the turret finished.👍😊
So good to see you back Dan.
What a grind to get all of the concrete up there in buckets one at a time. 😓
You gents need a massage therapist, a hot tub and an ice bath. Man Nicks arms must have grown a bit from that job.
Not the job you want to come back to after being sick, but you did it as you always do.

Beautiful work! I love seeing it come together! I’m sure I speak for all of us when I say I cannot wait to see the entire roof completed and have that original shape back!
Well done for completing that when you're not feeling 100%.
Amazing work! You and Nick make a terrific duo! ❤
It’s so moving to see you making it all come together.
Wow! That was a lot of heavy work! Good job!
Great job Dan and the rest of the team ,doing an outstanding job,the chateau is starting to smile again ,hope you flu goes soon 👍💯
Am beginning to think that if Dan did the occasional landmark livestream, there'd be encampments of tourist and locals outside following along, delivering a great cheer at the end of the day.
And then chucking hot burritos / bladders of wine or mulled beer (what?) etc over the wall for the well deserved appreciation of all.
Anyway...
Welcome back from the brink, Dan. I understand it was close, but glad you pulled through.
Shoulders...shoulders...shoulders...😮 That's a lot of bucket work..way to go you guys.❤
I am happy to see Dan is recovering from his man flu. Don't do to much 😉😊
That's what I thought, but I think he did do too much! You know you can't keep a good man down long! 😊
Thank you guys for taking my thoughts to a different space. It's been a very tough week. Great job as always.
Much love & light.
🙏❤
Hi Dan, you and your crew are remarkable.
Glad to see you are feeling some better Dan!
So amazing to watch you three mixing and bringing those small buckets of mixed concrete up to the 5th level. It was painful to watch and with some anxiety wishing you guys had a cement truck with a crane. Anyway, another amazing job. So happy and exciting for you.
It is going to be beautiful. Y’all are doing such a good job. Love watching all of you, Work you know what and how you’re doing.❤
Go go go! Great to see you back at it.
The views are absolutely spectacular!
This has to be one of the most epic restorations ever to happen in France let alone elsewhere
Think you all need a Gittane and a cold beer after all that mixing and lugging concrete 😂
Missed you guys, nice too see you back. Another great days work x
This is so amazing! I will miss the days of you ‘ vacuuming’ by leaf-blower!
LOL that first bucket in the form ... like a cough in the wind!! Been there, done that. GREAT WORK!!
My shoulders are aching just watching this, respect as always!
Glad you’re feeling better Lovely! What a day to come back to. Doing that job with just the 3 of you is just mind blowing. Keep safe all x Vx
WELL DONE!!! Definitely a milestone event - fundamental element of the turret completed! Check!
Looks amazing. All your hard work, the progress you have made, is all coming together.
Amazing progress with Brian, Nick & Dan with that really useful lift. It's a great team.
You absolute legends doing all that concrete work by hand. It looks amazing.
