The chair was beautiful, what a thoughtful gift. You really are such a warm family. Loving the progress on the chateau, you’re making amazing progress x

Great to see you putting the roof back on part of the old piggery, although Ash, the screws holding the laserlite on should be put through the high part of the corrugation, not in the valley. The screws should have a small rubber washer to seal against moisture but it's not designed to seal in the valley. That said, it may be different in France than here in Australia, but we do have a lot of corrugated tin and laserlite around the place. :-) Keep up the good work all of you.

It’s good to see you looking ahead yet again. After the spraying for the chateau is completed putting the space to good use as a greenhouse is brilliant. I see also that there is adjacent space available for the larger facility that will be needed in order to provide herbs and vegetables for the chateau all year round. Though this isn’t expressed I think this is an example again of finding modern uses for not only the chateau building itself but also outbuildings that are practical and in keeping with the spirit of the place. I think this is a smart way to preserve historic properties both in the present and in future years to come. How fortunate you are to make friends with artisans that can help with the restoration. I am glad that the dining room mantle will be reconstructed rather than discarded.

The care that Brian and Lauren took in taken the mantel out, little black and white dog patiently waiting for the job to be done. Spray booth is awesome. Terry bit speechless with how Devine the chair you did for Steph is, feels like you gave us a small window of how talented you are. Take care gang✌️

You can almost see the Chateau breathing, you have done an amazing job.

Ash, it might be a good idea to rest a cardboard box over the compressor to protect it from overspray build-up over time

You lot are absolutely storming with all the different projects! Are the stonemasons going to do a video on how they repair your mantlepiece? Because that would be interesting.

Love all of your videos. I really love the white chimneys and Dormer windows. I also love how Jonothon helps and gets to experience so many little jobs. You all work so hard, yet Tracy amazes me with what she gets through. Thank you for all you share.

Really enjoying your channel! Great dynamic between you all, no drama, and you seem more realistic than some channels. I like how you are willing to show professionals helping you, as I think that when some of these properties are very dilapidated, some real experienced artisans/engineers are needed, esp for structural issues. You all seem to really want to do this the right way, and to have the ability to discern when you need help. Congrats on the nice fireside area for your talk!

Very handly little spray booth! Glad you're not painting those rads red though, as it already reminds me a bit of Dexter's kill room...

You should put a gutter under that plastic roof with a connection to several rain barrels for your future green house.

That chair you gave Stephanie Jarvis was so beautiful. I have to agree with Tracey, fall is my favourite time of year as well.

I’m in love with watching the BEAUTY of everything coming together ❤️

The chair you renovated for Stephanie was beautiful. Loved the material and the gorgeous logo on the back.

Love seeing Jonathan learning new skills.

I’m always amazed how much progress you make every week.

Terry the chair you created for Stephanie is fantastic!!!!! So very Lalande. You are a chair whisperer. Hopefully many, many more subscribers will subscribe to your channel.

As always, love the multi-generational dedication to this restoration. A pleasure to see Terry's visit to Chateau de Lalande/"Chateau Diaries". Beautiful gift chair for Stephanie. She was thrilled. With those restoration and upholstery skills, I'm imagining all the amazing furniture you will have in your own Chateau. This Californian says 'erbs.

Love the inclusion of James. The fireplace will be beautiful!

Hi everyone, I sat down and watched all of your vlogs today as I've been home sick and could do nothing else. Great what you have achieved in just over a year and congrats. I only have a couple of things for you, but they will make a difference going forward. 1. Get all the ivy, blackberry or any other creeper of any kind off your stone surfaces, it has to go. This is because it damages any pointing to the effect it can cause stonework to become unstable putting the structure at risk of collapse. 2. Creeper, ivy etc pulls moisture into a structure and with that comes damp and rot 3. Hire an arbourist to check every tree and GPS them on a map of the property he will be able to tell you everything you need to know and tag the ones that need to become firewood. I worked on 2 ribbons red went green stayed. I did notice you have quiet a few dead ones in your fly overs from the drone footage. 4. Your pollarded trees are coming along beautifully, however every😊💁‍♀️🥂 new piece if growth must come from the top and never from the bottom. Get your snips out and remove everything at the base of the trunk. I recommend you do this straight away. Thank you for a wonderful day watching life in France. For the moment I am stuck in Melbourne waiting to return to my home in Brittany. Kindest regards Kim

I really thought Ash was going to hinge that last clear panel at the top so it could be opened for ventilation in future when it becomes a Greenhouse. You might want to think about that in future when you convert it.

Your mum is much more talkative on camera now ❤

Terry, the chair you restored for Stephanie J is stunning, you are very talented. I can't wait to see how you decorate the chateau.

Wow so much progress. That greenhouse looks wonderful . So excited to see everything you are doing there. It’s beautiful

I am always bowled over by what a lovely family you all are and how much you all care for that chateau. You are doing a magnificent job restoring every corner. I am just catching up on your videos after being away from my computer for five weeks (walking the Camino de Santiago). Thank you for sharing your journey.

You never cease to amaze me on how talented and industryus you all are and the absolute passion you all have for the chateau waiting in anticipation 😀 for the next vogue.

Never mind the château, I'd happily move into the cottage.

I came here because of Stephanie Jarvis, I subscribe because of Patrick, dachshund owners unite.

Wow you four are power houses; the amount of work you have done week to week is amazing.. Ash I love seeing the outbuildings being saved and the amount of work Tracy did to even find them was fantastic. Thanks for sharing with us and I am your number one fan of which I am sure I am one of many

Love how the whole family gets together at the end of every video and just talk to "us". This is one of my favorite "chateau" vlogs. I've been watching since the very beginning and am so excited with every progress the whole family does to the chateau. Keep it up!

¡ Hola from Honduras! Wonderful progress on your projects! So generous of you to gift the beautiful chair to Stephanie Jarvis after all the restoration work you did on it! Good luck!

Would love to see them working on fixing the damaged marble fireplace and how they fix it. Good luck with the rest of your restoration work!

Once again a very interesting and varied vlog. Not sure about the music a bit grating. Also nice to see you visiting Stephanie with the amazing chair you restored and presented to her. You were able to see what shambles they had with all the radiators leaking and everybody chasing around with bowls and buckets. Not all glamorous. Thank you, keep safe.

Terry, Your gift to Stephanie was soo kind and gorgeous! I'm looking forward to seeing the furniture you repair and reupholster for your own chateau!

Take really good care of yourselves, stay safe! Much love Kathy x

Ash, for never having spray painted, is a fast learner. He does not wave the spray and keeps the same distance and speed of coverage. I have seen others fan it back and forth, but he is doing the right way

I enjoy these little family chats at the end of the day, I feel like I am part of them. It is all so cosy being around the fire.

One of the best channels I've come across. Love the work ethic and great progress you are making. If I can pass on a piece of advice from my own experience renovating an old property, as I've learned the hard way, the one rule to follow is to never ever use Cement in repairing a Lime Wall. The Cement is far harder than the Lime and will end up causing cracks which in turn not only weaken the wall, but also allow moisture to enter which further damages the structure. Lime is naturally breathable - Cement is not. Where a Lime wall will wick up moisture in cooler wetter months and dry out during warmer drier periods, if you put cement on then the moisture becomes trapped behind the cement - unless you remove the cement the wall doesn't dry out and you end up with dampness throughout. The same is true of Gypsum Plaster. If you ever plaster a Lime wall with gypsum then you destroy the ability of the wall to breath. Both gypsum plaster and cement are non breathable and will cause long term issues. If you don't want to end up doing the job twice then stay away from using Cement or Gypsum anywhere. You can make a large batch of hot Lime and keep onsite for both render and plaster applications. As long as the hot lime is kept submerged in water and doesn't come into contact with air then it can keep indefinitely ready for use - also the longer you wait to use it the better it is as it matures. If you would like to learn more about the damage Cement and Gypsum Plaster do to old Lime Constructed buildings then I can suggest watching any of the numerous videos on Peter Wards channel on KZread. Most damp issues in old building are caused by using cement and Gypsum plaster - once removed the building dries out.

This chateau is one of my absolute favourites! I cant wait to see it looking beautiful!! And I can't wait to see the cottage done!

When you use polycarbonate sheeting for roofing, you should put the securing screws in the high spot of the corrigation not the valley as water runs down the valley and with the fixer in the valley you can get leaks.

Soooooo happy to see the progress you’re all making now that you’re all together. It’s all coming together beautifully. 🤛🏻💪🏼🙌🏼

Terry, how nice of you to pay Stephanie a visit at Chateau de Lalande. What a thoughtful gift. You all really are a rare breed. It's great to see Jonathan helping Ash with the roof renovation project. It reaaly turned out nice. How clever to repurpose the space that way. Ash, you did such fine detail work. You're right to say that you'll get many years of use from it. How exciting to be able to restore the original mantle rather than have to find one that fits perfectly in its place. It's wonderful to hear your updated plans for the next few months. If you're able to maintain your current rate of progress, doon no one will recognize the place. That will be so amazing. Keep on cracking on!

Just watching the removal of the fireplace mantle is nerve racking. So intense. Loving the aerial views. Prayers for you all to stay strong and carry on! Great job on the greenhouse too! All very hard workers

Wow. You are all truly amazing. I know that you will have a cozy Christmas whether it is in the “family room” in the barn, the cottage or the chateau. Take the time so you’re happy with results vs event driven choices.

You guys are so clever, turn your hands to anything.

Nice restoration job. Noticed that you screw the corrugated panels at the low end instead of the high end of the corrugation. This can create waterflow blockage and is prone to leakage.

Hi from Denver! You are really making massive progress, and it is really interesting to see what you attack each week. The quality of your work shines through in your videos. I was amazed how big the upstairs in the cottage looks. The dining room paneling looks like it may clean up nice to go with your refurbished mantle and fireplace. It may seem mundane, but your roof, fireplaces, and dormers look awesome! Love how your drone shows it. Keep up the wonderful work!

Looking forward to all your updates....always exciting!!

Love the brilliant progress you’re all making with everything! Love the updates and video’s!

Great to see your progress. You've come so far. Awesome. Also love the chair given to Stephanie. Fabric was perfect. Well done.

If you screw in the valley of the roofing, it leaks. You screw in the tops through a rubber washer. Then there is a clear latex that you paint over the top of the screw

What might be helpful in the spray booth is a rotating table. That way you stand in one place and rotate the radiator, instead of you having to walk around it. Unless the radiators are just too heavy. Love your channel and all your family helping with restoring the gorgeous property! A fan from Southern California. 💕
