Fear Turned to Joy: Old Chateau Window Revamp Exposed
The whole German family from Berlin came to Chateau de Londigny to get the first renovations started. They focused on the old 162 years old windows and some of the doors.
Everyone had a fantastic time and the work they have done makes a whole difference to the appearance of the chateau already.

I love how your family turns out to help you restore the chateau, Denise. Your new home will be filled with memories of your loved ones working here to help you. Those will be priceless memories in time. Better than photographs, which fade over the years. You are a wonderful hostess and set a very inviting table, too! Lovely episode today, and I’m enjoying your channel very much. ❤️🇨🇦

Your whole family is preserving a historical landmark one step at a time. Y’all should be very proud.
It's coming along nicely! I don't envy you all the work ahead, but you've already accomplished a heck of a lot with your loving family "crew". Bravo! Thank you for sharing.

How fortunate that your family is so talented and willing to.pitch in!
You’re lucky to have family who are also talented craftsmen. And lots of willing helpers! Knowing this probably gave you the courage to purchase a chateau in need of repair.

Hehe that you heard the music still, that is funny I we need to be careful because of the copy rights and that’s why we then have to put voiceover or other licensed music over it. But glad you liked it 🩷☺️

I was able to make an accurate count of windows and external doors in the chateau by watching your KZread videos. There are 82 windows and 24 doors, which I estimate you'll complete the restoration of by the end of October, well before the arrival of the cold weather.

Watching the twins must be as fun as watching an old Mary-Kate and Ashley olsen movie!!!! If you get an infestation of wasps (guepes), hornets (Frelon) or other stinging beasts you can call the local firemen (pompier) and they will fumigate, remove the nest for free, just say you are receiving children at the chateau and they are obliged, they are pretty prompt too!!!!! The Killer japanese hornets are the frelon, same name for the killer ones and the big ones they have here which are just Asian hornets.
