  • Ok, one of our most popular videos of the year, this is our 2023 Chateau Walk through video. This time we do three levels, the first time walking through our basement (Sous sol). Then a quick bonus amazing! French meal, and the "Return of the Urns" :)
    Thanks to all for your support of our non-profit www.loirevalleystudyabroad.co... and thanks to those who have supported the chateau reconstruction on Patreon www.patreon.com/user?u=488949....

    Lord, as the students come may they grow spiritually, thank You for all the work that has been accomplished in this beautiful place.

    F.Y.I. Beth, pink daffodils do exist. They're quite lovely too.
    I suspect the French obsession with symmetry explains the transom that doesn't work. They put false doors in their châteaux too, in order to make rooms appear balanced.

    Wonderful vlog !! Blessings for a successful time with the students. May this experience help them grow stronger in their faith of our Lord Jesus … a solid, unshakeable faith throughout their lives.

    Everything is looking great! And congrats on getting the urns put back. Each upgrade you make adds to the whole, and the roof repair will mean you won't have so much mold, and your plaster/paint repairs won't need to be redone. Exciting days ahead with your new class. Hope all goes well and I look forward to seeing snippets of your travels, events, and everyday activities when you can. Best wishes to all!

What a wonderful teaching tool the chateau is for young people who live in such bland times where life is always on fast forward toward mediocrity. Thanks for being a great example qnd showing them "the way" in many more ways than 1! God bless you always!

  • @linajackson4545
    @linajackson4545 Před rokem +2

    A little tip to minimise water condensation on the walls of a bathroom, you can put a piece of corflute over the top of the shower. It also acts to keep the warmth inside the shower cubicle while showering. Increasingly here in Australia we are using dehumidifiers to reduce moisture and mould indoors. I have a 100 year old house and that works a treat. Can also be used to dry clothes at a pinch, or at least finish off the drying after bringing them inside from the clothesline.

    Wow! For those of us have watched you from the beginning we can really see the unbelievable transformation. To think of the hours, blood sweat and tears you two have put in and the cold nights to get this beautiful building up on her feet again is just amazing. Every other YT channel does renovations for personal profit and gain. You two are the only ones doing all this for a truly honourable reason and I have such respect and admiration for you both. The youth that you will bring such joy to that otherwise may never have had the chance will be so lucky and I am sure very great full for what you have done. I was really surprised at how much you got done and to such a good standard in such a short time with huge limitations on everything. I am very excited for this summer and the Chateau being full of youth and energy and yes, the roof getting done too! Very exciting time ahead so pleased for you both and thank you for reaching out to the wider world to let others help you in your endeavour.

    Beautiful. To simplify... Instead of three meals... You could do two structured meals a day...breakfast and dinner...and then for lunch...You can create a serve yourself set up for them to make a sandwich for themselves with fruit and veg - cheese - available. It will lessen the number of dishes...because a lot of people only eat meals once or twice a day and they snack the rest of the day.

    Also, I would love to see a video describing the behind the scenes, showing how everything works with running a school. Sort of like Downton Abbey. I think it would be very interesting to see! Good job and God Bless you with all that you do. 🌸
