Ian, Years ago I struggled with the groceries and the distance from the car to my door. The kids were in school, so I borrowed their wagon. I put all my groceries in it and pulled it to my door. Saved my shoulder and lower back. You are still young so your bodies are more forgiving. Love your videos. Such a beautiful place! And such a lovely couple!

Your Chateau is amazing! But, the two of you are why I watch. I'm enjoying your story very much.

Great vlog as usual. Please be careful as green bamboo like that can root and it’s the last place you want it.

Hi Daphne and Ian! Another great episode, and yet again, I love how your place is able to reveal hidden places to you, even after all these years that you have known it. I also loved your local village Christmas market where you were able to discover such a talented young man, and the chestnuts! I love roasted chestnuts. One of the best things about them is how they warm your hands when you clasp a bag of them. Highly recommended.

I've just discovered your channel and I'm already hooked! Watching how much you've accomplished is inspiring and seeing the results of your hard work must be satisfying. I do, however, hold my breath each time Daphne replaces glass window panes without wearing safety gloves. 😟

That violin player is an authentic Gaul. A direct descendant of Vercingetorix.

The lead in your window safe if you use simple precautions. Wash your hands after working with it. it is only harmful if the lead is very very crumbly and it has deteriorated to fine dust, then you would need to wear a face mask. I've work with molten lead and have been tested a number of times and never had a problem. A profession would replace a broken piece the same way you did, by bending back the lead cane, inserting the glass and bending back the cane. Smooth out the cane with a piece of smooth wood, re-solder the corner, putty the glass for a weather seal, add lamp black to color it. You could also add metal rods along the cane line to stiffen the glass and protect the glass from any more bowing. Small wires through the cane will tie the rod to the glass, solder in place and color them as well. If the cane is still malleable, you may not need to replace it, Some tightening, re-putty on a flat surface may do the trick. A lovely window. the weather is its worst enemy. Could protect it to with a clear glass on the outside. It is interesting that it is the one side sagging more so then the other. Does it get more sun. Or is that the side that people use to come in or out. Thanks for the videos.

What a clever young man. With regards to the hidden room, as the windows are cut off, perhaps it was a late addition only.

I’ve literally been binging your content all day. Your grandfather was so much like my mother, and stained glass was one of her many loves, she also made it as well and my house is literally full of it! Anyway, love the chateau, my great grandparents immigrated from Touraine to Canada and then my grandparents to the US, so I love seeing the French countryside in your videos. Such history! Maybe one day, I’ll get to visit, myself. 🥰

Daphne could seriously add to your revenues if she started an ASMR channel just talking about the chateau, history, your vision, projects with just her voice and still pictures transitioning the topics you are talking about. I find her voice so soothing and no disrespect, great for inducing naps!

So glad I found your channel. The videos are really well done, the music is great, the drone shots are wonderful. Very impressive. I hope you will continue to show us your work on the chateau and grounds in your entertaining videos!

Lead is not that poison. Specially if you just do a window! You can get ledpoison if you work with it everyday. But if you spread it in nature it’s no good. You can easy fix that window (but it takes a lot of skill) and have a mask on when you are soldering.

The ceilings à la française, tells us that the original room has been cut in half... That ceiling is beautiful btw...

Those fencing posts you took out might be better for staking your cypress trees. We planted a few and they got badly chewed by, deer or wild boar. We have now protected them and they have recovered well. Hope yours don’t get chewed

The ceilings are definitely connected, but we think it was part of the room between the two master suites because that one has a big fireplace and seems oddly narrow.

bonjour, je ne connais pas les plans de votre château, mais l'on peut penser que ce plafond faisait partie d'une ancienne pièce de réception, (salon doré ?) s'élevant probablement sur deux étages. Il faudrait peut-être demander à un architecte de voir ce qu'il reste de ce décor ancien et s'il est possible un jour de le reconstituer. En tout cas, merci pour vos vidéos et tout le travail que vous faites.

I wonder if the 'thorny bushes' were Hawthorns? They get beautiful blossoms in spring and red berries the birds love in autumn. It may have been a hedge that over grew, you can let it sprout back up, if it comes back and keep it trimmed? Be careful not to rip too much out too fast in case you lose something that takes a long time to get established. I can't wait to see how the garden comes along, I just love the semi circular terrace in the woods!

I also believe in making only 1 trip. I call myself 'One-Trip-Libby'.

i had no idea that a drone will fly home when it gets low on battery/. lol. perfect, wonderful

The pile of thorny brambles looking like they are jiggling as you drove the tractor 🤣😂 Brilliant "Is there gold in this room?"👀👀

You have to love the “one trip wonders”! I too am one, lol

If you use fresh bamboo stakes in warmer months they will take root and sprout. Bamboo is usually invasive. Perhaps you could cut a bunch of them and let them dry out over winter so they don't take over your garden. Willow stakes will also root and become invasive.

This is an amazing channel, I love watching you guys slowly but surely get the chateau completed - it's going to take a few more years!!! Trees will always need support in the early months anyway, but also, I think the reason the trees started to sag is because you didn't stand on the root ball to push and press it into the ground before covering it - that's a tried and trusted method developed over hundreds of years!!! I will always trust proven history over modern-day science!! Keep up the good work!!! The garden is going to look lovely, but personally, I think you planted the cypress trees too close to the edges!! 🙂

Love, love that stained glass. Where the thorny bushes were looks like a lovely place for a rose garden. So glad you posted today I was hoping to see what you were up to.

Golden expressions when you saw your drone was ok. Rafael has great talents !! Not easy to play in tune and worse with gloves !

You should get rid of the half rooms. They're awkward and take away from the grandeur of the original room. Loving your channel!

Ian as the handsome Prince Phillip, thrashing his way through the thorny wood to make his way to the secret room that holds Princess Aurore (Daphne) sleeping, awaiting her prince. ;-) Anyway, the secret room is quite a room. That "plafond à la française" is late 17th/early 18th century, and is quite the architectural find. It looks like a false/floor ceiling was put in to create the room below. You might want to consider taking the later addition out and restoring that whole chamber. Good work on the thorn hedge, Ian. It does look a lot better near the moat without it.
