    Dan - you’ve certainly made a difference in the exterior beauty of the Chateau. And your vlogging skills have really come along. The vlogs are really entertaining as well as being informative

    Stephanie was so lucky to find you. The work you've done at the Chateau has totally transformed the gardens and grounds. I love the way you're cutting the paths in the grass, as you say the insects are benefitting so much.
    I've enjoyed your short vlogs, it gives such an insight into your working day. Thank you, looking forward to seeing the rest. Best wishes.

    Enjoying the short daily vlogs, nice to see the gardening side of things at lalande….
    Would be good to see this more often, obviously with Stephanies blessing and big reveals kept for her to show.
    But would love to see your side of bringing the gardens to life….

    I use a John Deere mower at work, and we have a rule that at the end of the day we "clean, fill and oil" the machine. The oiling is especially important because we clean it every day (should have 5 points to grease, 2 of them the wheels). We are NOT on top of the grass at the moment so making sure the machine works at its best is needed 🙈 (I have had a summer job in parks and recreation the last 11 years)

    • @KrisanthiaMum
      @KrisanthiaMum Před 3 lety +2

      Love the John Deere we have but was given a Club Cadet and it’s nice. Before putting it way we do the same and it has a spot to attach a hose to to clean underside of mower where grass collects. It’s sooooo nice.

      We have a ramp my brother built so we can easily get that blinking stuck grass out. High pressure hose helps. Service easier too. We also have that rule about cleaning and checking oil, fill gas. Works great for us.

    • @Norwaycat91
      @Norwaycat91 Před 3 lety +1

      @@KrisanthiaMum That must be so nice, we don't currently have a proper ramp at work (new manager so he's fixing it finally!), so I have to line up two triangle angled pieces of wood and then drive up them as a makeshift ramp to clean 😅 don't think it would pass a health and safety inspection 🙈😅

    • @Norwaycat91
      @Norwaycat91 Před 3 lety +1

      New boss also fixed a pulley system so we can change blades at our location now and don't have to drive the John Deere for 25min on a high traffic road to get to the shop to have them fix it for us. Game changer to say the least! :)

You really have made a HUGE difference at the chateau in a short amount of time. It shows that you take great pride in your work.
