Brian is an awesome friend and worker. You get so much work done even with 1 additional person.
Crack on 🎉
I love it when you give a detail explanation on what you are doing and then end with the phrase "That's the plan anyways." So true....
Last time i was looking an episode for a second time actually i was at work during my break. When my colleagues heard the hammering they asked. What are you building ( as they knew i had been renocsting my home for over 5 years ) . So I told them ' a Chateaux at France' 😂😂😂. Greetings from Germany to all the orher addicts 😅
Yes! The first part of the roof was sooo difficult! Cold, windy, stormy! Never forgotten that epic clip!
My daily dose of craftsmanship
Same here.
They are IMPROVING rapidly from an already high standard.
IKR!!! :D
Glue plaster,he he he
I'm a woman and I love watching RENO AND BUILDING RESTORATION WORK!!🎉
Dan's willingness to tackle the seemingly futile is inspirational. He didn't see a missing roof, he saw opportunity. Fabulous!
Therein lies the mark of a visionary.
I love the old, as we say in the States…Can do…spirit. I think it is awesome the work Dan and his friends do.
he's definitely a glass half full kinda person
The very idea of young Brits reconstructing iconic French chateaus is beyond epic... the very idea is so bonkers it makes perfect sense...Cheers mates! Love it!
I follow heaps of young Brit’s renovating all different kinds of French Château’s ….but Dan is the one and only whom I stalk ( no I don’t 🤣) just love his Enthusiasm, craziness ,inspiration ,vision ,his cool friends and his sense of humour …❤
I was invited to help at a small village in Brittany, clearing an overgrown garden. I ‘adopted’ an Oak tree that was being strangled by an Ivy that had a circumference of about 8”. Having been successfully removed, I was reminded by one of us, that it was a ‘Treasonable Offence’ to save a French Oak tree! But, only in Henry the Eighth’s time!!
”Young”
Brian's Irish not British, just saying as it does matter.
Right you are!:)
The lift is a real game changer.
I agree w/you & 1st suggested a mule. Although I wish for a proper lift, too. cgzone8
It's those amazing industrial pails! Every time I see them filled with concrete, I hope that the handles don't fall off.
@@marytaylor9185me, too! I kept imagining one of them breaking & having cement/mortar all the way down!!!
@@karenniehues4786 How come the handles on our laundry pails disengage when lifted on a slight angle??? We've been buying the wrong mop pails! 🙂
Idk if anyone ever reads this, but I had something important to me to do for months now, and today i finally got myself to do that. And it worked bc I promised myself this video as a reward for doing it. I love your videos so, they are so good, i will literally reward myself with watching them! Keep up the good work!
Good reward! I saw your comment, and I do this myself. Get a certain amount of daily tasks/work done. Then, i get to watch Dan & team! Hello, from the Texas hill country.
I am so glad that company gifted you the proper tools to do the job. I really didn't want you to do the roof a year ago. Seems there isn't a job too tough for you to tackle. Well done Sir.
The additions of tools along the way through this project has helped immensely with efficiency and time saving. Kudos to the TOOLS!!!!
and kudos to the companies that gave them!!!
It's always the same:
At th end of a project you have all the tools you had have from the beginning on 😂
Totally agree. Better tools, a lift and Nick and Brian make a huge difference.
Plus money
I helped my late brother in law make & cut bird mouths when he extended into loft of his chalet style bungalow about 25 years ago ! We had to jack up the whole roof as it had sagged since 1960 s! We used a little bottle-jack more suited for lifting a family car! All timbers calculated , measured & cut , we jacked it up, & popped in the timbers ! Reminded me when bird mouths mentioned this evening ! Greatly enjoy your video reports ! Thank you !
I’m so very very very happy to see your daily videos/progress!! Thank you!! .
I am not a health and safety nut but, standing on the top wall handling heavy timbers with no fall protection gives me the chills.
Was about to say the same
Me to
@@daviddeloera711 Me three..
As if it weren't already enough that Dan is inspired and inspiring, he is also one of the most talented makers and editors of videos on CZcams.
I agree immensely talented man
We are so happy for the roof thingy. Guys well done, keep up with good work
It is interesting how you guys work together with hardly any talking, you just all seem to be in tune with each other. Watching such hard working men, who do the job to the best of their abilities, is so heart warming, and your Chateau young Dan, is going to be such an amazing place! xxx
I wait to watch you channel every day. I’m 80 yr old young buck 😊. I enjoy watching your build. Give a lot of credit. Keep good work up. Most of all be safe you and your crew
"I've got better tools now" is the understatement of the year, Dan. I always marvel at each new cool tool you add.
Poetry in Motion…never thought building a roof was so elegant ❤
That lift is amazing. Nice acquisition. The Chateau is going to be so much stronger than it was thanks to all your maths and construction skills. 👍
taking heavy stuff off the lift while standing on the edge of the chateau must be one of the most dangerous things happening here so far
@@LizZard1988I agree to it being dangerous (and my knees hurt from looking at it) but it definitly is not the most dangerous thing so far 😊
I can't believe how close you are getting to a complete roof. A year ago I would have never have believed it would be possible for you all to have made so much progress so quickly.
Roof beginning to take shape. Looking good.
That lift device is brilliant. Hard to believe the months have passed so quickly and you've nearly finished the 2nd part of the roof.
I've fallen in love with masonry thanks to you Mr. Preston.🥰😅 France should give you a Palme D'Or for Best Vlog and Macron endorse you in convincing others that France is now where one goes to build a dream .
The lifter is brilliant. From roof 1 to roof 2 construction - unbelievably quicker - no wonder you are smiling from ear to ear. Team work makes the dream work - thank you Brian for helping out Dan😊
I am so glad you have Brian to help you. You guys are doing wonderful fantastic job.
I’m just loving the new lift.Great progress Dan and Brian today🥰
"A roof thingy " a new technological term for me😂
We built a custom New England home and I couldn’t resist having a mansard roof on the garage wing!!! Just a second empire gal at heart!!! The builders planned their summer vacation around the roof build because they all wanted to be in on the build!!! Loved that place!!❤❤❤❤
However much I enjoy watching the one man show it is so awesome that you have a Brian and Nic to help. The dream team !!!
It never ceases to amaze me how experience makes things much more acurate and much faster. I'm a cabinet maker and remember making everything individually when I wasn't that experienced which took a huge amount of time. Now I work from a cutting list, using templates and jigs and make hundreds of components that all fit perfectly. Confidence plays a big part, once you know the potential pitfalls you can build them out.. I can tell you dreaded having to work on the roof again Dan but I'm sure now you've got everything working smoothly, with the right machinary, you're enjoying putting it all together. There's something incredibly gratifying about knowing exactly what your doing with no doubts about how it'll turn out. A bit of luck with measurements doesn't hurt either...
Yes, I very much remember you out in the snow by yourself. So nice to see you getting help and having the tools you need.
Hello Sweethearts ❤🎉
Thank you for Subscribing
Dan an his amazing Team
Appreciates Each and every
One Of You 🤝
Coming along on his journey
Restoring this iconic chateau
Thank you truly 💗
Well not a problem ,we just love him ,and all the team ..
Finally Brian has his own sponsor. "Drumstick Lollies" . 😉😁 @0:59
I wonder how many renovation and building jobs you have inspired.
One man changing the world.
So great to see Brian back with you. A formidable team!🎉
And finally a lift. What a difference. Extra hands are much useful. Things are moving so much faster.
I am so glad Brian is there to help you in this second roof. What a great help to this new device for bring up the wood.
I look forward to these videos. Great work!
That lift is absolutely AMAZING !
Ring Beam all in - Good Job - Lift is of Great Help ! Mansard Work - Great Team Work - fitting all so nicely indeed ! Roof "Thingy" by end of the Week ! Fantastic Progress - loving it ! Many Cheers from Australia !!!!
It’s just beautiful to watch and yes you make it look easy. Great to see Brian back and the smooth progression. Onwards and upwards an apt approach. 😊
This roof is moving fast. Fantastic work
That "Whew!" when the boards rose to the top was golden!
Love how it's all coming together. The lift streamlines the process even. Great work.
The better tools and experience makes the job much faster.
From extreme cold to extreme hot-you’ve certainly had all the extremities.😊
I love watching your chateau renovation videos! Your enthusiasm is addicting!❤
Amazing. When you started this with your wheelbarrow and shovel I thought you were mad! Unbelievable! Please look out the harnesses and start using them.... please???
I Love this channel.... it is always about having a great attitude, learning to work smarter, accomplishing good goals, and doing things with integrity. Good work Dan! Respect to you and your crew!
Good job Dan and Brian making forward progress and streamlining as you learn.
Ou la la la la la! 5 la is the maximum that a French can give you. that means that is crazy! Bravo et merci de rénover ce patrimoine. En plus je progresse en Anglais. Bravo, Bravo, bravo
And thank you for French programmes on Netflix, my French is improving ❤️🩹
@@user-ug4zx2kj6e did you see “Dialogue avec mon jardinier” film 2007. So beautiful.
Good morning team ❤
Woow what can we say …
Your killing it with a extra pair of hands … but what helps the most is that “Drumstick “( 😂 )is on the same page as you …
Yes 🙌 With the right tools … thanks too Mr sponsor …your in the right headspace and it’s a plus it’s not snowing…
Nick will be back soon…😊 so the A team can cover said roofs ..
Rest up and we will see you tomorrow ❤
I love the "look at how I did it before" comparison to how much you have progressed in both skills and process. Well done! Looking forward to tomorrow's update!
Congratulations Dan and with the heavy lift outside you save time and effort 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💖💖👍🏼
Yes! The lift is saving so much of their strength and wear and tear on their bodies lugging heavy boards and buckets of mortar up to the new fourth level. So now they're expending all that saved energy on the actual construction, accomplishing multiples of the day's work they could physically get done before, and delighting themselves and us along with them.
And Brian is so strong he makes the heavy work look like child's play.
It is so beautiful there, clear blue sky, green tree tops, gentle breeze. Plus the work being done is epic. So good all round.
This is fascinating to me as my old cottage has a mansard roof, so seeing the construction of this from the beginning is really wonderful. Thankyou.
I am NOT getting into my day before watching my favourite channel Escape to Rural France. Well done guys.
Love the 'roof thingy' - a technical description a non-builder can get with.
A good day ends with you guys, doing such an amazing and spectacular job. Just great🎉
I’m so very very very happy to see your daily videos/progress!! Thank you!! 😊
The lift is a real game changer. This roof is going so quickly. Unbelievable well done
That is a tribute to how well you figured out the first round. Something to be proud of.
I Love It When A Plan Comes Together ... It's Amazing What Happens When You Have Unrestricted Talent !!!
All of these people, like someone said, that are renovating these chateaux is awesome. I wished I was alot younger and able. I would be doing the same thing. I live through these guys by watching them and visualize myself there helping. It has been fun.😊
🎉 Dan the builder Man 🎉
That lifter thing must be worth it's weight in gold, what a useful tool, well done.
The expression Dan was looking for, work smart, not hard.
Work smarter, not harder.
@kmarch6630 Or type less not more lol
Work smarter, not harder.
Always look forward to your videos!!! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
You can’t stop grinning can you Dan? You have made incredible progress!
Yay! for knowing how to do it the second time - and for the tools to do it better 😀
Awesome progress
Love watching
Thank you Dan for taking the time to video your project with us
🎥
Looks like you guys got a beautiful day to work. Things are coming along great have a great day ❤️...
Good job as always. Love Brian. Welcome back Brian.
tat lift on the outside of the château is such a game changer, it must be saving so much effort & time getting stuff up to the roof 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Early streaming this evening ..................... Thanks !
Cant believe how quickly you are onto the other wing's roof....seems like yesterday I was watching you battling the snow and ice to get that roof on! Amazing Dan!!
Have to name the rooms ....Winter and Summer. It will remind you when you roofed them. 😂😂👍🇦🇺
Just watching you two walking on top of that wall makes me dizzier!
Thank you. ❤🎉❤🎉😊
These videos never last long enough 😅😊
Artisans, so inspiring to watch the vision come into view. Keep up the excellent no shortcut work
How cool is that lift?! Look at the labor savings being able to move the timbers like that without you all having to be the mules up the stairs or to rope them together to bring them up with the winch. Fantastic and super smart!
I find this channel to be superior to any home improvement network programming. This is reality tv at its fundamentals! Great job!
The lime is absolutely gorgeous
After watching you from the very beginning of the rebuilding of this chateau...I now see there is nothing...absolutely nothing that you can't handle...Carry on Dan...the job you are doing is awesome 😊
Well done Dan amazing effort, just shows you how much help Brian is
Thanks Dan and crew - I think I may do the Mansard on my house... it would be so ---- wrong in my neighborhood --- but it would just give me one more level and so much character ...
This new lift is saving soo much time
And energy
Glad u got the lift. Saves so much time. Looking good
Brian sponsored by drumstick lollies lol took me a minute! Another great video
Aye who doesn’t love a drum stick lollie.
Absolutely incredible !!
The speed at which the progress is coming.. nothing short of impressive. I love this channel!
I look forward to your posts! It's amazing watching you rebuilding the chateau. Ty for sharing
Big Dan, it's was like day and night from the last time !! This side is going so much faster!! We'll see ya tomorrow!!
Whow what a huge difference even the lift makes,I think I'm not the only one that is so pleased you got sponsored and got your new equipment to help you,maybe a boot company is next??? Your deserving of everything that comes your way your a top bloke
Brian sponsored by drumstick lollies was the small on-screen text I needed today.
I love the mini noggins! Totally forgot the snow on the first roof build…my how far y’all have come 😊.
Yay my favourite channel. X
Well done boys!❤
I don't know how long I have been following you all but I love your work and feeling like I am part of something out side of where I life. I live in a group home and cant work due to a disability but I really feel like I am apart of something. I love it. Thank you for shearing your journey with all of us. Tyson Sackett from Oregon USA :)
