Who’s been a subscriber since Episode 1 ✋ or subscribed to Stephanie and then met him on her channel as a gardener! Wow time flies by so fast!
That’s how I first met Dan!
Both
The journeys in the green van……wondering would he make it home without breaking down….and the music….just sensational. Precious memories. Thank you Dan.
Yep!
I remember how excited Isabel was to have a gardener. Then we all fell in love with Dan. 🩷
I just bloody love this channel.
me to best channel. on youtuble
Same here👌👍
Same
Ditto
Yep
Come on people. 5000 more subscribers and Dan has reached half a million. We can reach that over the weekend. Let’s go Dan!
Goog thinking, but not possible! He is going to reach it the next weekend, as his weekly average gain is +3.26K (as according to the Social Blade analysis numbers today).
Subscribed...
I have to resubscribe on a regular basis. Does anyone know why?
You aré right. Let's make It to 500,000 to celebrate with Dan
I have been watching DAN since he was the gardener at la Lande. He is my most favorite and Nick the tree guy is my next favorite. Love you guys !
Le beau temps! Great news!!
Dan’s respectful and courteous manner of dealing with subscriber concerns is amazing. He simply shared, for example, how the footings were on bedrock, showed how he has been pinning the blocks to the walls and explained that this wall will be rendered. He never retaliates but simply and graciously explains. Top marks Dan. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Great comment 💕 so true his character shines through
So true. I hate those that patronise and criticise him. We see 10 minutes out of a 10 hour day or so.
English gentleman indeed!
Hopefully by now people should know that he knows what he's doing and if he runs into problems he'll work it out with engineers, architects and those around him. The last place he should be taking building advice from is the comment section on YT. It's France they have their own building codes.
This is the one channel I look forward to.
"It's relatively straight", love it!! LOL
Loved your sign off today,Dan. I have been watching you from the beginning. Taking something that everyone has lost hope in and restoring it to previous grandeurs is such an incredible thing. Your daily vids make my day..
He's right.. by all of us watching we are contributing to saving the building. Without the income provided by the channel this building would not be saved
@@raresaturn Yeah if me being entertained helps save a building that's been a lost cause for the last 40 or so years I have no problem with that. I hope he makes enough to save up for coming decades of maintenance, a fund for the kids etc.
Well said Matt
Why Dan does not have a million subscribers is beyond me. What he and a few friends achieve in restoring this historical chateau is so impressive. What a work ethic and dedication. Everyday his posting is a gift I can't wait to open and watch. Thank you Dan.
Y T ... is the Culprit ,
it controlls the counter ..
which is Fraud in my books ..
He has gathered more Subscribers faster than any other channel I've seen! & those few friends helping are far between (I'm sure they have day jobs) If only there were more people like him in the world, who knows what could be accomplished😎! World Hunger❤? (He doesn't even slow down when channel 4 is recording!
Ch4: Can you keep this under wrapps so we can have the exclusive?
Dan: Nope, gotta keep movin on, time's a tickin! Now move outta my way...
Half a million at a time…
@@marshawargo7238 maybe there are thousands of people like Dan doing great work, but they don't have a YT channel.
@@peterv8459 and not doing such shady work.
I'm so grateful that you had the guts, vision, and passion to lovingly peace her back together, Dan. ❤😊
Where Everyone Else saw a hopeless cause😂!!! Dan said I'll Show Em😎!!!
Dan U Da Man❤!!!
Well done, Dan!❤❤
Does anyone else get M.C. Esher vibes with Dan and Nick carrying materials up and down the staircases?
Great comment..
This is my relaxing time of the day watching you and your little team rebuild this beautiful chateau,think your doing a wonderful job with the build and it’s absolutely lovely to see theses old building coming back to life rather than them just wasting away to nature
Me too!!!,
Enjoy your weekend with Jack and Thomas and the puppies.
You all work so well together. It is nice to see a team pulling together. Crack On!!!
The GREAT WALL of Dan.
Thought the same thing.
😊😊😊
Enjoy your boys the weekend. I’m sure they going to love the puppies. Please video it so we can see their happy little faces. Thanks Dan ❤
Dan, it is all your drive, your leadership, your sweat equity. We are watching because it is inspirational. Thank you Dan!!
Dan needs 5k more subs to hit 500k subs. He deserves the recognition for all his huge efforts, skills and talents..
Concrete is used in even the most sympathetic of restoration projects. Don't apologise for using it. You are saving a beautiful building when no one else was prepared to take the risk.👏
Concrete isn't as eco friendly as wooden or lime plastered straw bale houses, it's true. Those are for new builds. In solid structures undergoing restoration like this it's appropriate, given its life expectancy. There's plenty of Roman concrete still around alongside stone in their ruins. Given that long-term view, especially in hidden supports like this new wall, a good balance can be found.
Exactly! If it wasn't for Dan taking this on, and him and his team working so hard, this building would have rotted away as i doubt anyone else would take on such a challenge.
Dan your face just lights up when you’re talking about your much loved chateau. You are definitely the right match to rebirth this beautiful old girl. Best wishes from Australia x
Have a great weekend, hug the children and make them giggle .😂😊❤❤
You a man with a real and inspiring vision, Dan, which you don’t get enough credit for. I’m so proud of you, and even though I live at the opposite end of the earth, this is close to my heart.
I totally agree! I’m so proud of Dan!
Dan is the living embodiment of Bob the Builder. Day in and day out he is doing this. Flippin' Amazing!
"Can we do it? Yes, we can!"
You are doing the entire world a service by saving that building! And remember..we want to see the boys reactions to those puppies..especially little Noggin!!!
I'm not a DIY person, so any home project is a big challenge. I do really enjoy watching Dan handling all types of challenges with such ease.
I AM a DIY person, and this is a very big challenge. Dan's positivity and energy and all the great work is an inspiration.
I still think there must be some entertaining behind the scenes reels somewhere! Oh shit moments and all that...
Dan, you will never ever stop discovering new and old things in the chateau. You are breathing so much life back into it. The chateau and all of us thank you and the people around.
I bet the boys will go crazy over those puppies!!
Congratulations Dan and thank you for saving the chateau and all y'all's hard work
I marvel at the vision you had, seeing the promise in what many wrote off as a ruin. I didn't think it was possible, but I stand corrected. What an incredible project!
Yeah, I'm super proud of you for saving a building that others thought was a lost cause!
You guys reminded me of an Escher print on the stairs. Have a nice weekend.
This channel makes me want to go to France and lend a hand. These guys are really hard workers. 😎
Same here!
100% Dan your saving something that 99% would not have saved
Love you guys ❤😊 from a 64 year old Aussie.. Just love watching this old beauty being loved again ans so fast... What a TEAM you all are and to have such great friends.. WELL DONE ❤ 🇦🇺
People say"If wallls could talk". Dan has virtually made these walls spill on the history and the people who have lived in this chateau. Great work, Dan!
I feed my whelping females 4 times a day. chicken is good, eggs, buttermilk. Need to keep them happy. wall is amazing. glad you had help.
You are saving this amazing chateau. The whole world is watching you do it. I’m just glad you are still here unharmed after all your daredevil manoeuvres early on. You are such an inspiration Dan - and your team too, especially gentle ‘wild’ man Nick.😍
Always a green plant hiding in the stonework!
Another milestone reached, time for floors! A minor suggestion; double wheel wheelbarrows are much easier and more stable for moving heavy stuff like buckets full of mortar, stone, steel etc.
I have to admit, the first day I heard Dan was going to do this, I thought, I couldn't see this as possible. You've proven me wrong, Dan, and happily so. Easily, the most interesting and addictive channel on CZcams at the moment! :) k
This is a remarkable thing, Dan. And amazing to watch you save this important place. This is a channel I don’t want to miss a single episode.
Morning ritual is 11am with a coffee, and watch both Dan and Stephanie's channels - sets me up for the day!
Your enthusiasm for this old dame is catchy. I am right there with you.
Brilliant job lads. Have a fabulous weekend everyone and have a wonderful time with your boys Dan. Take care,sleep well K🇬🇧❤️❤️
Great job saving this lady. Enjoy the weekend with the boys and puppies 🐶 😍😘
I appreciate the regularity of your content output. You must plan your time meticulously. You’re always prepared for the next step of the repair, and another video comes out perfectly edited every day. Great work ethic. Never hesitating, never pausing. Show more of the puppies!
Everybody have a GREAT, INSPIRED, and MOTIVATED weekend.
Or just have a great weekend.
I just love this channel. Makes me feel like achieving.
Thanks, DanCo.
You guys are a machine!
Peace ✌️🕊️🌍
Only recently came across this project. Totally blown away by it. I'm in awe of your enthusiasm, confidence, and sheer tenacity. An inspiration to us all. Keep it up!
The music playing when the top of the wall was being done was beautiful and suited the action on the screen so well. Dan really has the editing thing down pat.
You’re doing a great job. The quality of the work is excellent. It will be a very strong building when you’re finished. 👍
WOW, I found your account again after about 1 year and it is wild to see the amazing progress!! I am here to stay!!
You all are a great team working together!!! I love that you all are saving this awesome Chateau and property. Enjoy your precious boys and they will have fun with the puppies!!! All the best.
Dan, from the very first day you walked up the steps of the Chateau with your sons, I said, I am looking forward to see where Dan will lead us, all who are watching, what adventures! I have TOTAL CONFIDENCE in your vision and perseverance!! You never disappoint….
I'm getting excited to see the center part of the chateau done the whole roof on!!!
What you have Done, Dan, is Nothing Short of a Miracle resurrection of this Building, and it should stand for Another 200 years
Dan,Nick,Brian my chateau warriors . You guys are amazing. You are totally getting this job done. You all have a good weekend. See ya on Monday. Until then, take care and stay safe. Love ya 🍺🍺🍺🌞❤️👍🌈😇🕊🌹🇺🇸🙏
Back-breaking work--you make it look so easy.
Away over here in Columbus, Ohio, my daily routine includes a morning check of the weather app to see conditions in Mainsat and an evening check for the latest vid. This channel is a rare social media find - a completely upbeat and uplifting presentation. Restoring a crumbling ruin is a huge undertaking. That you find time to film and (masterfully) edit the progress on an almost daily basis is super impressive. When do you sleep? 😄 I’m sure your audience would agree that our interest and our hearts are with you, Dan. Thank you so much for sharing SO MUCH!
Totally agree! Dan the man, is the bomb!
I agree with everyone waiting each day for the next instalment. I love this channel too.
Watching all of this from the very beginning and visibly each episode seeing the transformation come to life, is enthralling.
Waiting until Monday….very difficult.
Feeling all the Love going into this magnificent chateau, and the surrounding grounds! She rises!💓💓💓
Good going Dad I have so much respect for what you are accomplishing when others thought it not possible.
Thank you Dan and Co. The chateau Gods are clapping hand saying thank you we are grateful
Thank, you, Dan and crew! Can’t believe I’m the first one here today. Hugs from Houston, Texas
Dan you are amazing enjoy your weekend with your family Best Wishes from Australia 💙💙💙🇦🇺
I'm constantly amazed by the amount of progress you guys make daily. It boggles my mind.
Dang it. Now I have to add that wall to the basement of my Minecraft model of Chaumont. LOL Great work, and thanks for sharing. Keep it up! :)
Thank, you, Dan and crew! Can’t believe I’m the first one here today. Hugs from Houston, Texas!
Hope all is ok down there in Houston. Sending love from north Louisiana. The weather went south of us.
@@user-wi4es9tc7xGreetings from Germany❤.
@@user-wi4es9tc7xHey Houston! I’m over here in the LA border and we were banged bad in yesterday’s storm but y’all were hammered… Hope you’re high and dry… thinking I need to get a boat for this summer… looks like we’re gonna pay for the last couple NON Evacauate years..this year…
Can you believe how much Dan has accomplished in a year? And hey, brig so close to half a million in a year??? On YT? That’s incredible!!! I don’t miss a video… usually watch several times to give him some watch time payment.
Dan is going to have millions and millions of Subscribers. No worries ❤❤❤. I feel so productive just watching this channel. Amazing 🤩
So close to 500,000.. You deserve it!
The way the place is going it will be finnished a lot sooner than we all predicted in the first place! Admittedly ther will allways be something to do around the place but the main building will be finnished. Great job Dan & crew 👏😃
By then it will have become a real home that you rebuilt to enjoy for your lifetime, how immensely satisfying
You were right, Dan. You truly have constructed a great wall, a magnificent floor supporting wall, possibly one of the greatest walls known to mankind and all with your own hands. We are blessed! Have fun with the kiddos this week-end and do NOT dare the boys to walk from one end of the new wall to the other! Jack L.
Why did he decide to do this instead of just building floors as he's done previously?
@@thegravytrain1129 To answer your question as it is: That part of the house is bigger than the other wings and there was previously a wall there which provided support for the floor above. He knocked it down and has now restored it. To the second part: I am pretty sure Dan was mocking the person who resided in the American White House prior to the president currently living there. I was simply repeating that to let Dan know that I liked his joke! That's the way that person constantly referred to things; bigger, grander, better than ever. That's all. Oh, and I could be wrong... Jack L..
@@thegravytrain1129 You cant put a floor up if you are missing a wall
I remember when you first showed us this place and I thought there was no way it could be saved. But, Dan, WOW you have proved us all wrong. It will be magnificent when you are finished. What an inspiration you are being, maybe, just, maybe, this will create the desire in the hearts of some people to save some others that are falling down. I can't wait to see the faces of your boys when they see the puppies!!!
Hi Dan, it has been wonderful watching you and the gang bring life back to the house and gardens. You have come a long way. Well done!
Good morning team Dan ❤
What a wall !!!
It’s amazing how far you have come and grown not only on this amazing channel but your whole journey and

Ps hugs to the puppies 🐶
Well done Dan and team.
No one has lost sight of your objective and the end result…which is the restoration of the charming Chateau de Chaumont. Wonderful progress 🌟
You should be very proud of yourself Dan! And you got a real friend in Nick, he's been there thru thick and thin. Amazing team doing amazing work.
I’m so happy Nick has been there all along!
This has to be the cleanest wall building I have seen , if that makes sense 🤣🤣 well done 🥰🥰🥰. Your friend’s technique is great.
The work you and your helpers put into everything is amazing and admirable. Everything is done with such care and attention to detail. It's good to see. Looking forward to Monday. It's always another adventure!
You are doing a fantastic job of saving her Dan! I’m so proud of you and the boys. I enjoy each episode and can’t wait for the next.
Dan, your positivity and work ethic is inspirational to the endth degree. You took on an almost impossible project that no one else would, you are creating a magnificent home and saving a beautiful piece of history. This will be your magnum opus. RESPECT!!! xx
What you have accomplished so far is just so amazing! Can you imagine what this chateau will be like in another year??
You and your good friends have accomplished so much. It’s been amazing and can’t wait to see what’s next. Thanks for taking us on this adventure with you. God’s speed Dan upward and onward 🙏🏼
Have a great weekend with your boys. They will live the puppies.
Thank you for the content Dan. I always look forward to these at the end of a long day. I hope you and your boys have a nice weekend
Hello Dan & everyone! The Chateau is looking so lovely. You have come a long way since you started. I can't wait to see it, when she's all done! She will be a master of Beauty!
Have a great weekend with your boys, Dan enjoy your puppies. Great job as always.❤
Dan, you are such an inspiration. Your dream is coming true - bit by bit. It is so wonderful to watch you, Nick and Brian work together so well. The three of you certainly have an incredible work ethic. Enjoy the weekend gentlemen.
Just another brick in the wall, great job Dan Nick Brian, team work.👏👏👏🕺🕺🕺😌
It has been an amazing journey to watch.😊
Another wonderful episode, we all share your enthusiasm and vision on this remarkable task, recreating this amazing abandoned château.
Your signing off explained this so eloquently.
Dan, I don't think anyone could ever loose sight of the immense challenge & excitement of this project.
We see it and feel it as you work, the glint in your eyes speaks volumes.
ps- please give Elsa & Anna a little back scratch for me💞
Thank you all for saving this piece of important history well done all of you :) have fun on the weekend :)
Three geezers on the tools and (almost) on the level. Well done lads.
Love watching Dan and his crew/friends bringing this Chateau back to life.
Enjoy your weekend with your boys ❤ Sunbury, Vic, Australia.

Well, done Dan and team the wall up, ready for the next stage. L9ved watching see yer Monday. Enjoy your weekend with the boys❤🎉😊
Dang that was fast, the u shaped blocks are really cool ,never seen them before. That one nice wall there guys..😊❤❤❤
OMG ,I’m in ore, just how much you’ve accomplished! Amazing 🤩 If anyone can bring this beautiful building back to its former glory,it’s you Dan ! So happy,you have another, pair of hands on board ! Well done 👍
awe?
I have a friend who bought an old leaky building in Washington State on an island. No one wanted it. He got it and went to work. Saving a 1920's old wooden building. I was up there twice helping him with the more complex structural aspects. Now it is two units. It is so rewarding. Once you plaster the chateau you will really feel a difference. So happy for you and your project. Enjoy!
You guys are friken amazing !!! I love love love seeing the phoenix rising from the ashes. She is going to be a beauty
Phoenix rising from the ashes is perfect!!! Truly a wonder accomplished so far. ❤❤❤
