Australian carpenter here. If you are nailing the floor you should use a flexible adhesive as well to prevent floorboard squeak. The other way is the add some screws. Loving your work.
Agreed 1000%. I was thinking about that too. I have heard a lot of these squeak on their own only by changes in temperature, let alone by walking over them.
And centre the joints on a joist
I agree, adding adhesive is extremely important.
I wouldn't be putting a tarp directly over the flooring either.... the moisture will make the boards swell and you will have to replace them.
Yes glue and screw. Lets hope he do this on the rest.
Yes, the more thumbs up Dan gets, the more money he has to spend on the chateau. And it doesn't cost us a thing. So thumbs up for Dan.
Pretty sure its the number of views he gets.
@@ghosthunter5100 Engagement feeds the algorithm.
Money on CZcams: Views for ads and watchtime for premium viewers.
The impressions thumbs up or downs and comments are just for the engagement metrics which will let the the algorithm push the videos to others recommended vids.
Rumor has it that a thumbs down is counted equally as a thumbs up, but this is in the secret algorithm which adjusts itself all the time.
Love the channel, the man is absolutely slaying this project. It’s a bit like building a Wright brothers flyer, carting it out to a meadow, and teaching yourself how to fly.
Money does not directly depend on thumbs up. Money is related to ads served. Which is related to views and views are indirectly related to ranking in the algorithm and related content. One thing which is alleged to drive the algorithm is engagement.
Who saw this attic full of trees and grass now sees the reborn of a beautiful chateau, has to got Dan and his mates credit for this challenging. 🙌
He has done an amazing amount of work in , honestly such a short amount of time. All the people who have given their time are amazing. So proud of all of them. They have worked so hard. ❤❤
❤
Me!!
i did
I watched as the tree was taken down. It was a very delicate operation, so as not to do further damage to the chateau.
Congratulations on surpassing 100 million views! Your channel is fantastic and well deserved!
Lots of views but few thumbs up. Let’s all support Dan and his mates.
ALWAYS!!! the first channel I look for asap in my day. Dan is the MAN- and his team- are inspiring to the sky!!!!!
Completely agree 👍👏❤
Yes
I always wonder what it is, or isn’t, about a vid that makes peeps 👍. If I’m subscribed I’m 👍 if only as thanks for the effort of filming😊
Always always always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
100 MILLION! There is a reason that the channel is doing so great. And it is Dan, Nick and Cameron.
I'm actually beginning to understand Nick clearly.
@@jjteacher7482😂
I predict it caps out at 1.2 million
And Orange Pant Guy! Videos with him are always creative and clever - he's a good sport!
Good job guys ! Let’s get some thumbs up for them ? Don’t forget !
Nic, watching you drop those trees is a work of art.
Nic is a tree whistler, he tells them exactly where to fall😂
Love the slow motion shots.
Totally agree, and I love the sounds they make coming down and hitting the ground.
Isn't it?
I think you could start the Escape to Rural France Olympic Games, rappelling, OSB toss, balance beam, lots of opportunities!
Don't forget the noggins challenge!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Great ideas ❤❤❤❤❤
Dont forget the 'used brick' put!
Wheelbarrow relay. Pole toss. Lumber jack games.
THIS IS A GREAT IDEA
Dan, you didn't mention you had passed 100million views of your videos. That's a massive achievement in a relatively short period of time. It's a tribute to you, your obvious skills and hard work. Well done..
Come on people let’s give Dan and his men👍👍👍👍👍👍 it’s a fantastic job I watch for the progress ever time it’s on just so interesting
100 million views! Fantastic! Well deserved. You won! 🎉
100 Million views! :)
Congrats on the 100 million views! 🎉👏👏👏👏
What a skilled tree faller. I come from a lumber state, Oregon, and this guy is GOOD! Love watching this project. Thumbs up every time.
Well I suppose luckily (Or unluckily depending on your viewpoint!) the trees in Europe do not grow to the extent that they can do in the US of A or Canada to be fair, but Nick still takes all the precautions and thinks about things, that seems to be key!?!
Yup, Nick IS the tree surgeon ‼️
Nick is the best!
Every time I watch this channel
I am amazed at the things you achieve everyday no matter rain snow freezing temps heat of the summer … incredible
If I could only find builders in the USA 🇺🇸 with the same dedication…
Truly Amazing…
What an amazing achievement Dan in reaching one million views 🎉🎉
Dan have you broken the news gently to your good friend Stephanie, who I'm sure is delighted. I feel a celebration coming on. Xx🎉🎉
It's more than 1m views😉
It’s 100 million
Wow, that was some day's work. I don't know how you do it. Well done Dan, Nick, Cameron! Hope it doesn't rain!
I’ve been in such a bad place recently and I was literally thinking about giving it all up earlier and then you ping came through for your CZcams it just made my life a little bit better. Thanks Dan❤
We all have to hang on to what ever we can .you keep watching Dan he's going to keep working away and needs us to help. 😊
Chin up! We all have our struggles, but you CAN get through this🤗🤗
This has been a really rough period for a lot of us - it does get better.
Isn’t this channel the best?! Everybody can get down, but remember that you are a unique gift to this world and there is nobody else who is exactly like you. ❤
Holy cow. This is one of those videos that just blows me away, reminding me how much physical labor is required for almost every task. Amazing. Hope you reward yourself with good food and good sleep!!
Dana's been cooking up a storm for the guys.
Her videos cooking in the yhurt are a lot of fun. 😁
Get a lid on this baby, quick! I’m so impressed with all the work you’re doing, amazing and inspirational!!!!
Well hopefully within the week the roof will be waterproofed, overall the progress has been reasonably good but on the next Wing he wants to ensure it is carried out "before" next Winter so every dry day after waterproofing this Wings roof he should "concentrate" on doing the other Wings beams and floor to enable the Roof to be finished and waterproofed "before" Winter 2024 it will be a lot easier for Dan to avoid working outside in Winter on the roof, it will exact it's toll, the Central part looks like it's going to be a bit more of a slog, he could do with a stone mason/ brick layer when working on that section I think it will be pretty labour intensive and extensive on the fragile top section of the walls where the roof used to be, hopefully he can start on that section in Spring of 2025 but the waterproof roof work may take until 2026, I think there is still another 9 years (Including this one) to go - 2033 for a house party🎉, hopefully I will live to see it, the Chateau is turning more into a building site with each passing day and less of a forgotten ruin but there is a vast amount of work to go to turn it into a home, Dans age and determination is on his side however and his supporters!?!
Dan, so pleased to see you have a good safe floor, the whole area is looking magnificent, blessings to you and your great crew.
Yay Dan and team. The chateau is coming along fast and beautiful. Great teamwork.
Great job Dan! For now though, you should use waterproof basement paint on the floor to protect it, or something like that. Tarp will HOLD moisture! And construction adhesive on the beams before you lay the floor would keep them from moving and squeaking. AND make the floor even stronger. ( I rebuilt an old 1874 house and that's what I did).
If you can afford it, get a backup for that framing nailer now that it is critical to the mission. Thanks for sharing this whole process!
Brilliant work Dan. We believed. You succeeded 🎉😊
Glad you are getting this section to completion, Dan.
3 more to go.
Order lumber now for the next one; so you don’t have a delay.
Liking that gorgeous work table...
Crack on.
I was thinking that too - with the long delay in the lumber.
might be a finance limit on that too though
@@tonygorham Yeah, could be a cash flow issue. Lots of others things that have to be purchased before Dan's ready to take on the next part of the roof.
@@bjamo8738 it’s called timber
It really looks like what it was in the past . I am so glade for the roof getting in .
Always a good idea to practice a joint when you haven't done one for awhile. The main thing is to get a basic technique worked out and then things speed up when you get your eye in.. As a cabinet maker its always frustrating when you do something you haven't done for ages and you have to learn the solutions over again.. good luck with it Dan!
So you say the floor is a super nogging! 😁
Edd at Bordeaux Life just mentioned you and noggings …
Dan’s biceps are looking huge, with all that heavy lifting! 💪
Just think if he had actual time to eat vast amounts of protein how'd big he'd get with all this heavy lifting!!! 💪🏼
Congratulations on 100 million views, Dan, Nick and Cameron are compulsive viewing for an ever increasing audience.
It is so obvious your heart and soul are into this restoration project. So happy for you ! A big THANK YOU for streaming this for us to follow along. ❤👍
Fabulous! Just love watching you all go through each step and explaining it to us. Every time Nik cuts down a tree and knows exactly where it will drop, I just shake my head. Nothing like watching a professional at his work. Carol from California
If you add Borax to your vinegar and water solution it too will kill mold with the added benefit of preventing mold from ever growing, providing the wood doesn't get washed. Also, consider spraying your plywood with clear waterproofing.
He doesn't use plywood, but waterproof osb.
@@KjerstiNagel There is no such thing. Thats why he is in a hurry to cover it up.
@@berg8970technically you cannot make anything water proof. You can only make it water resistant. But you are right that OSB can have water resistant glue in it and can be coated to gain resistance, but in itself is never water proof. Plywood can survive longer but has the same problem in the long run. On a molecular levels wood likes to transport water, because that is the functionality in a tree.
@@berg8970 Oh, and I believed what Dan said, but you mean he lied..?
@@KjerstiNagel There's a difference between lying and not knowing. Dan isn't that experienced so take what he says with a grain of salt. But he's not lying.
Nick is a legend I’m so glad Cameron is learning the trade and you could probably do it too now Dan 👍🏻
Great job Dan. You knocked it out and the journey continues. Well done all. Stay well.
I love this group of merry men! What incredible craftsmen, workers and friends!
A final floor installed. Almost. More tangible progress. Great encouragement for the rest when it feels like you've been hauling, building, pointing and clearing forever. ❤
Dan, seeing you in a tee-shirt shows that you've really bulked up from all that heavy lifting you've been doing.
I always wondered why you didn't nail down your floor boards, now I know why!!
It's really looking great!!!
We didn't see you "tommorrow" as you say at the end of the video
Can't wait to see the top of the roof finished!
So glad to see the sketchy osb replaced by real flooring. Between the work and videos I don't see where you get time for project management, Dan, but you're doing an amazingly good job!
He just replaced OSB with a little bit thicker OSB. In a few weeks they will look again like the old boards.
As my dear departed mum would say, Nick and Cameron are good sorts for you Dan as they are great at getting in and doing the job. Edit: I like that you have a safer floor so I don’t hold my breath any more. Some of the other people have commented that you should you something else other than a tarpaulin on your floor to protect it. I’m inclined to agree with them. They have products mentioned so would you look them up. You’ve had a long day. You must be knackered. Floor looks fabulous. Thank you. May you please take care and stay safe. Louisa. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩
Come on folks let’s show our support for the team.👍👍👍
love how you keep us informed. Can't wait to see the a- frame going up. and how you are going to cover it! It is mind-blowing!!!!!
I admire that you keep plugging along. Some days, I would feel so overwhelmed with the size of the project that I wouldn't want to get out of bed.
It's looking great Dan, having a stable floor makes everything look and feel like a great accomplishment. Congratulations ❤️
Dan you and your mates have done an anstoning job to the Chateau! I can't wait until the whole structure is over with! You have amazing mates who are helping you all the steps of the way! I know you are all pleased!
When you drove up the drive way with the wood the sight of the new roof was amazing! Never thought you’d get this far. Well done.
What an exciting time at the château!
Always remember.
You could not do this without the awesome support of your amazing wife and boys.
They Rock😊❤
The Amazing Dan! You're an inspiration Dan. There's nothing impossible if you'll take one single step at a time and here you are now. You've done an excellent job. Keep it up Dan! ❤
Well done Dan, you’re really doing well also Nick and Cameron. I still end up holding my breath watching you walk on this beams! Well done!!❤
Great work done by all. Well done Dan, Cameron and Nick😊
Ok Dan, Nick and Cameron got some more progress on the attic floor and it should be much stronger now to support the roof framing. Looking good! And lets not forget the trees Nick got down today! Nice video much longer than before.
CONGRATS ON 100 MILLION! Great job Dan and team!!!!! All the best!
Dan, if your reading these, When Nick started work on the Chateau, he seemed to use petrol chainsaws almost exclusively if my memory serves, but now he seems to use almost totally electric, Id love to know more about this, maybe we could encourage Nick to make a few videos? Im certain hes a mine of interesting knowledge!
I’m in awe of the amount of progress you’ve made since day one of introducing us to the burned ruins with trees growing in it.
This is so nice to watch. I love the ASMR. Cameron and his wild manes are nice too to watch! He always escapes the proper view. Nick knows so much!! Never judge a book by its cover...But you guys are so hard working...if you had a bigger team this Chateau is done in 3 years....😂😂😂
Wow, Dan! I will be so happy to see the attic covered with the roof! Bravo!😊❤
Dan congratulations on 100million views🎉🎉🎉.Great work today Dan,Nick and Cameron 🥰
Dan, u must be so pleased to be accomplishing this and to have you buddies there helping you! You are so fortunate to have them. They are such hard workers, just like you! You have been wanting to do this part for such a long time now! Take care, all of you!❤️🙏🏼😎👋🏻🇨🇦🫎🦫
Thank you for showing both dogs.
Somebody will still ask where the other dog is, tho 😆
I was just about to ask where the other dog was cuz I’d only seen one over the last several videos. So glad they’re both ok.
I can't believe what an amazing job you are doing, the work ethics of the three of you is outstanding, all done with humour and great comradery.😌❤️🙏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you for letting us be involved with this exciting endeavour, love and support from Canada
Rural France looks a lot like rural Missouri. You do incredible work and have such a great attitude. This has easily become one of my favorite channels.
Congrats on reaching this milestone...l know a certain Opera singer who will be green with envy
I don't agree. Stephanie has been behind Dan all the way.
She still wanted to win. @@debbiem3146
Maybe he’s just joking, because most people know how close Dan and Stephanie are.
I look forward to your videos each day! Excellent work and progress! Be safe! Crack on!
Uh oh, it's been 4 days! I sure hope that you're okay! It always worries me when you're working at such great heights (on that top roof structure) and go silent, even though you've purchased safety gear. Hope to hear from you soon!!!
Well done lad, fantastic to have a stable floor to work from. Great team work through the day. Sleep well. Oh and congratulations on 100 Million views. Thumbs up people please. Nighty night K🇬🇧❤️❤️
Great job, Dan. Just put roofing felt down over the boards; it will keep the chain off them. Get a power stapler and it will go down fast!
Hard work and fabulous videography and editing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for reminding us. Just don’t think about giving a thumbs up. Absolutely love watching the program.😊
Thumbs up for Dan guys👍🏻
Bravo, guys. Dan, thank you for taking us along on this awesome journey!
Yes, it's always nice to step on a floor and know you aren't going to fall through.
Oh, goodie, got the wood yay. Nice job Dan Nick and Cameron . Loved watching see yer tomorrow 🎉❤
Dan, I have watched your videos since day one and I have never been disappointed with your content. I have worked construction since my mid teens and I hope that you will at least give this some thought. It is common practice in the USA building industry to use a construction adhesive and screws when installing subfloor even when tongue and groove material is used. I’m well into my late fifties and I can not tell you how many floors I’ve installed in the same manner you are using that several years later were redone because of annoying squeaks. Please save yourself the hassle of having to replace your subfloors down the line and glue and screw the subfloor to the joists. I am endlessly impressed with the work you have done in the chateau and I look forward to following your work through to completion. Keep up the great work.
Nick is really a genius, watching him is pure poetry in motion. He’s one in a million, and so are you Dan, CONGRATS ON A MILLION VIEWS. NOW IF THE SLACKERS WOULD JUST LIKE, you would be on top of the world. Hallelulja!!!
It's not a million views. He passed the 100 million views
Can’t wait to see the roof completed 😊
When Nick takes the top out of a tree and it bits the ground head first, is that called sticking the landing? I'm going out on a limb with that joke!
Come on people, more thumbs up for all Dan's hard work. We can make a huge difference in the outcome of this project if we all hit the thumbs up everyday. We can do it!
Get your own life.
After watching you, my projects seem less daunting. Thanks for all you do!
Nick, is amazing on the chainsaw
Great to see the new floor, you must be over the moon to see all the progress you have made Dan.
I think if you had sunshine 24 hours a day you would never stop working. You are very motivating. It’s looking amazing.
Oh my goodness Dan it is so amazing to see part of your permanent flooring nailed down and in place. This must be the best feeling ever. The roof is coming along nicely and I am sure it will be a big relief when that section is completely dried in and finished. Things are moving quickly now. See you tomorrow.
I've said it before, in the beginning, you've always had Nick. He is not only your motivation, but a true friend who has your back!
Seeing this coming together is so inspiring! Congrats on your success with this whole endeavor!!
Congratulations on 100 million views. What an achievement 👏👏👏👏👏
What a good feeling it must be for the permanent floor to go in. It’s so close to a complete roof now🎉
Can’t wait to see orange pants man 😂
Noting the things you note in passing “after the fact” like questioning if the floor still has enough integrity to hold you - thanks for being safe crew. Keep up the great adventure! Love those smiles and enthusiasm- you’ve become a good therapy😂🎉 there is wood yeah!
Watching from Colorado! 😊
I think we'll all feel a lot better watching you walk around on that solid floor, as well! Every time you kneel down, or hoist up one of those big wood panels from below with nothing but joists and roughly 30-40 feet of air below you, I hold my breath!
Dan… You and your team… . Nick and Cameron ….are. Spell binding…I’ve fallen madly in love with each of you this is so much morel than a chateau restitution
And so it begins. We wish you every success in this huuuuuge endeavor.
Hello, at the end of the video you said « see tou tomorrow » And it’s been 4 days we didn’t got news, I hope you are ok and hope we’ll see you soon!
Best channel ever
Dan’s message in the community … tomorrow/ Saturday a new vlog .. he had some time with his kids
This is looking so beautiful
Dan, what a about a Window Elevator like Moving Companys use to get the Building Material Upstairs?
If you watch Ed and Anna, (Bordeaux Life) he used a ladder with remote lift, was awesome, my first thought when I saw that ladder was Dan needs that. 😊
Yes, thats what I mean @@cindybanks6844
@@The_Rising_Phoenix_ I wonder if it is something you can rent in France?
That is exactly what I mean @@cindybanks6844
Dan thought all your white t-shirts were in the wash😂😂
I am always so impressed by the hard work and knowledge the three of you shoe. Hard to believe you could do all this but I am loving seeing each vlog. Congratulations on reaching the one million mark.
So exciting!!! The floor going in, the roof...wow!!!! Yes, please protect it from the rain before the roof goes on.
