I think Waffle was a project manager in one of her previous lives. 😉 There are so many beautiful details in your chateau! I’m very excited to watch your upcoming kitchen renovation videos. ❤ Happy quiet Thanksgiving!

So fun to see the start of the kitchen remodel. I hope it all goes smoothly for you.

Well done Lincoln for taking on that job! I still get flashbacks from previous houses yet I still do it thinking “It can’t be as bad as last time” I’m forever an optimist 😂😂😂 and good on your daughter for showing the boys how it’s done! 👍🤗

Rainy,windy days with a fireplace AND kitties! Heaven must exist at this chateau! Keep up the hard work guys it's really paying off!

Love all the fur baby supervisors ❤😻and the donkeys. Love your sense of humor and looking forward to seeing the kitchen renovation process. Thanks for sharing 😍😘

The opening scene of your trees is simply spectacular. Thank you for sharing your home and awesome animals!❤

Please wear eye protection when you are doing any of that kind of work! I'm a retired trauma scrub nurse and you would not be leave how badly it would be if you even got a sliver in your eye!! Thanks for the video I really enjoy watching your Channel❤❤❤

I also worked in ortho trauma as a P.A. Gloves while using a chainsaw or table saw is a really bad idea. If the saw comes into contact with the glove, it will continue to pull the glove into the saw and take all your fingers with it. This is a common cause of amputations. Its just not worth the risk. Even ortho surgeous who know this and trued to be really really careful have lost fingers. Just thought I share because I would hate for that to happen to you guys.

I saw that she was using protective glasses plus the helmet with a face cover. 👍🏼 and gloves with full sleeve coat. I think she’s being very safe.

What great entertainment ! I love how industrious, clever, witty and fun loving you both are with your naturally droll sense of humor while narrating. And your tastes in decorating are lovely. Really looking forward to your weekly videos as the kitchen progresses and your gardens will bloom again.

Loved the video. Always happy to see the animals. Those donkeys definitely seemed to be enjoying themselves with those carrots

OMG you guys are so funny. Loved the shameless plug and loved the heavy metal chainsaw segment. I couldnt stop laughinh

As always, I totally enjoy your videos! You both work so hard and are getting so much accomplished. Love the cats and donkeys. Today my husband had to mend the chicken yard fence that is next to the goat pen. One of our sweet young moms enjoyed pestering me by nibbling on my coat, smelling my hair. And on the inside of the chicken yard, a couple of the hens kept pecking at my fingertips as I was connecting the fence with wire. Made me feel so loved. All our animals are like children, they love attention. Your donkeys are adorable! Janice from Arkansas USA

Loved the acid rock chainsaw scene.

What strikes me is how enormous your rooms are. Lincoln looks miniature compared to those tall walls. Great job!

You are so fortunate to have working fireplaces in your chateau, so cosy and authentic.

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed it. Your property is so beautiful...enchanting, especially those out buildings. Good luck with the kitchen 🎉😊

Look at Lincoln...he is the wallpaper removal master! looking good around there! I like the cat t=shirt...but I don't want to talk to anyone in public about my cats.

The wallpaper brought back so many memories.. We renovated a 200 year old house while living in it. Up to 4 layers of paper with paint in between the layers. Steam couldn’t get through the paint. You have my sincere sympathy! But it was worth it 🙂

I hope everything goes as planned for you in the kitchen 😊

I have been watching your show for several weeks and I would like to congratulate you on the work already accomplished in your field. Doesn't anyone come to help you with this multiple and varied work!!! You have to be a good handyman to get started like this!!

Love the drone work and sense of humor after 2 weeks w/o power👍

I feel that with all the cat supervisors on the job, this is bound to be a high quality project. I hope they are receiving fair wages. 🐾 Oh, and the donkey chewing is the best! 🌿

Hi guys, just wanted to let you know before I forget, my husband and I will of course be joining you both for Christmas and thanks for the invite. You are of course invited to our house for New Years in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦No, don’t do that big branch without Lincoln’s help. We wouldn’t want you to lose a limb right before the holidays…….it would make you cooking the turkey dinner problematic 🤣 I can see you building a go cart track on your land for the girls next summer in between projects. Love the merch by the way, it all looks fantastic. Take care and send our love to the pets 🥰

😂 Thanks for the warning!

Glad to see you back again! I much prefer working outside as well. Spent 2 hours in my creek last week trimming, removing trees that had fallen. Never even got mud on my tennis tho as we've been in a drought. Its gently rained all day today..thank God, but when I walked my dogs over to the creek..the only thing in it still was leaves.😕🙄

Happy Thanksgiving! It is exciting to begin the kitchen reno. We also used our dining room to pile up everything out of the kitchen; found everything I needed because it was all practically in the open! It will be worth the inconvenience. I know because I also love cooking. Take care. Thanks for including the animals.

Wow I have been waiting for this video. Every week I think is this the week they start the kitchen Reno and viola this is indeed the week they start the kitchen Reno's. I am hoping there will be a hidden fireplace somewhere in the room. It's all very exciting and I look forward to seeing the progress you make each week. I think Waffle was a contractor in another life! lol. Thank you from Toronto. Cheers

The 10 day power outage from the storm was "bootcamp" to prep y'all for how to deal without a kitchen... Wall paper removal is HELL, but it'll be worth it all in the end. I'm here for it!

I not only love your renovation and nature pictures but also your underlying jazz music (the heavy metal was kinda cool too! 😂)

Your property is beautiful! I can't imagine how you two survive all that hard work! Have a great Thanksgiving! The cats and donkeys are too cute!

I agree that wallpaper removal is the worst job in the world. I had an 1896 Victoran that we bought from the original family. A bachelor son had lived in the house by himself for many years. He painted everything, including over the wallpaper with many coats. What a mess. The home, after all the hard work, was a beautiful jewel. Nice job with your lovely Chateau! I love your color choices and really appreciate the clay paint lead.

I think you're hilarious. Love the branch cutting scene with the heavy music. Love you're comments!

Wow. At 6:13, when I saw the bumblebee totes, I had to laugh. When my husband, and I retired to live in Mexico, we had 93, big, and medium sized bumblebees to move our belongings here. We still have a dozen of the buggers in the apartment after 2 years. Expensive, but efficient.

I just love all your cats, dogs and donkeys! Your Chateau is very nice too.

I had a good chuckle when you were being macho and cutting the branch with music, Amanda. I love your sense of humour.🤗🇨🇦

The Fall colors are still beautiful. But I bet it gets dark there by 5pm. So excited for you all! You are doing such wonderful work. Your home is simply breathtaking. I wonder what you’ll do when your all finished. Oh, I know, garden full time. Happy Thanksgiving!

It's funny how chewing sounds from humans cause unmitigated rage but animals? Cute and satisfying. I'm in Austin, TX, and I'M OVER the time change. By 8pm, my body thinks it's bedtime. Ugh.

I'll tell you what's miserable- weather over 100 degrees for 53 days with 4% humidity.that was summer and fall in southern Arizona. I adore rain.

I love the mix of construction, cats and clean-up.

Thanks for the updates, guys. Nice to see the progress! And of course, great donkey content.

Loved the camera ‘passing out’ on the ground. 😵‍💫

I am glad you respect your childrens privacy. It may be nice to see the whole family but everyone should be respected when it comes to what is published on the www.

I really enjoy your videos. I love that you show the reality of Reno.All the STUFF that has to be moved. Just in general love your channel, your animals, your life in rural France!

I wonder if you have seen the 6" battery operated power saw. I think it would have worked on the branch you were cutting. Btw, any cookery shows in the planning? Best to you, Jane, Philadelphia

I can"t wait for you to start with the kichen renovation!

Your donkeys are adorable!

Lincolns task was daunting. Still needing that little treadmill for my favorite Waffle. I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

I loved go-carts tracks also.

Hi Amanda and Lincoln, Yes, I agree with the previous commentor. Please wear safety gears when doing any work at the chateau. Especially eye protection and masks. I am concerned that there may be asbestos in the walls etc. that will be disturbed as you do the various demolitions in the chateau. I am also concerned about Lincoln. Lincoln is just recovering from a hand injury as a result of a fall. I feel that Lincoln is working too hard for his age. Lincoln, please take it easy.

I respect how you honor your children’s request for privacy rather than exploiting them for views/clicks.

Great progress on the kitchen reno. 👏 Looking forward to seeing its develop.

I feel for you with the wallpaper.A friend of mine bought a beautiful Queen Anne Victorian Home and I helped her peel off 5 layers of wallpaper in just the dining room.😂

Thanks for sharing! Excited about the kitchen Reno!

So exciting that you are starting the kitchen! Your merchandise is lovely.

I'm so enjoying watching your progress.The landscape shots are breathtaking! You probably already know this, but in case you don't Etsy has great French vendors that sell all manner of brocante merch fit for Chateau. Recently noticed some vintage wall mount coat racks that would be perfect for the new dressing room.

Seeing the wallpaper being done in sped up makes it look so easy. I know how painful that actually was...

11:45 It's wise of you to wait on cutting that larger branch into someone else is around. Branches like that can shift during cutting, bind the saw and cause quite a violent kickback.

Oh I recall the days of kitchen renovations and washing dishes in the bath tub 😅 but I’m sure will be well worth the effort ! I’m a mad cat lady so Jist love to see your kitties and I want to steal the donkeys 😅 Thank you for sharing ❤

Such a beautiful "grande allee". I don't know who got the short end of the stick, clearing the fallen branches in cold and windy weather or up and down the ladder steaming of the wallpaper and removing tiles. Good on both of you for attacking these jobs. Can't wait to see more of the kitchen progress. Happy Thanksgiving!

So funny . We are actually doing the same in our kitchen. Removing old tiles. And knock down walls so funnu!

Had to get a cat tee! Love it. Agree with others that the details are lovely. That built in in the dining, exquisite. Cannot wait for your kitchen remodel. Awesome use of a tool. I need that chain saw as "he" won't let me handle the big type.

"Power Tool" by the Tubes, a San Francisco band in the '80's. ❤

The "bro" bit was brilliant 😂😂 Good for your daughter, beating all the boys 🎉 More great drone footage 😊

I rarely watch TV these days since I found your channel. I love it! Your home is beautiful as you both are❤

I always enjoy your videos. The kitchen look massive, but how gorgeous it is going to be!

I have been looking forward to seeing your kitchen renovations. You have such a great design sense, so im sure the finished product will be amazing..

Wallpaper can be removed by scratching the surface (they actually make a tool for that) and then soak the wallpaper with fabric softener. It works. Messy but you don’t need the heat paddle. Just a thought……it is the worst job!!!

love your vlog - def one of my top three I watch on YT and now I'm thinking I must have the baseball cap with the donkeys because they are simply the best! sorry but I'm allergic to cats and they all seem to know that whenever I'm approached by one or visit a house and I happen to sit in the one chair that ends up having cat fur all over it....anyway, will probably order the hat and sure hope it comes with a pic of the lovies ( maybe like a postcard ? hint hint) one of my other favorites How to Renovate a Chateau , Philip wants a donkey , you should write to him and tell him how wonderful they are so he can convince his wife Ana. HAPPY THANKSGIVING from Nevada!

Glad to see your power back on. Even your messy kitchen looks great to me. The architecture and such. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving if you’re celebrating.

Do your children help with the donkeys? I think it would be fun harnessing them up to a cart and driving them around. They could help bring the wood into the woodshed area. Your kitchen has high walls. What is the measurement of the height?

You’re so funny! Love your humor!

I so covet your stone outbuildings! What a dream.

One of your best videos so far. Like the music and your sense of humor

Happy Thanksgiving to you! If you are cooking I would love to hear what was on your menu.

I love your sense of humor.

Love the donkey babies! 😂💕 and your merchandise. I hope you have after holidays. Sooo adorable!

You are one of my VERY favorite channels...as in at the top!

From my home here in Ottawa Canada Happy Thanksgiving . l cant wait to see your kitchen done this is the main room for everything

I hope you guys have a temporary kitchen set up to cook and stuff until this is done

Outstanding wallpaper removal !!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃 One of my cats loves ladders like Waffle. Love seeing all of your animals. Your kitchen has some great character, can’t wait to see how you incorporate it into the reno ❤

One wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving, stay safe please with safety glasses etc. I enjoy your vlog’s - crack on 🤗

Brave you with the chainsaw!! I am so terrified I can’t let my darling husband use one. He I think is quite happy about that! Can’t wait to see the kitchens progress. Good luck and Bon courage

i really enjoy your videos keep them coming

There is a tool for removing wall paper that allows squirted water to get behind the paper. It's hand held with metal teeth. You run it over the paper then squirt with water. Let sit AND then use the steamer. I know this is after the fact but maybe later.

Loved the slow mo chainsaw sequence. So studdly Amanda! Congrats to Lincoln on the initial demo and dreaded wallpaper removal. Happy guest-free Thanksgiving!

I can't wait to see what you are going to do with the kitchen!

The chateau looks lovely & warm, I know it’s probably not !, thanks for the video

I absolutely love the wallpaper that was underneath the striped wallpaper… maybe you could save some and replicate it for a bathroom area or closet somewhere in your beautiful home- Happy Thanksgiving from Rayville, Mo! 🦃

You guys are such an inspiration! Watching your weekly videos with an espresso is my treat of the week! All your pets are lovely and you've given them such a great home.

Another great video. Really looking forward to seeing how the kitchen turns out. Also, as a life long motorsport fan and competitor Im delighted to see that there is a karting interest there. 😊

Seeing your animals thriving makes me happy.😊

Nice and courageous family in a nice country and with nice animals 😁

Amanda, when you use the chainsaw, let the black handle free, it's the emergency brake, stops the chain when you pull it, keep safe !

Good job folks! Happy Thanksgiving from Canada!

Love how beautifully you guys do everything And How you respect your kids' privacy ❤

Thanks for sharing have wonderful Thanksgiving day lots done inside and outside ! Iam like you rather work out in the yard our first snow in the next week in southern ontario canada but lots of snow and bad weather else where in Canada !But being right on lake huron the weather travels about 20 Miles from the shoreline before snow or rain falls so Sarnia misses most big snow falls maybe only 2 or 3 big snowfalls a winter usually but this year calling for more we will see shovel is ready ! Lots rain for today and Wednesday plus 8 or 9 degrees as well as Thursday and sunny we will take it ! Love your videos you two are a great team figured out how to get things done ! 😀😍
