I honestly didn't know how you were going to pull it all together when I started watching your channel over a year ago. The 400 Suite was a catch-all for your construction projects. An amazing amount of random stuff. There was literally dirt under the floorboards, the practice I still don't understand, and rotten windows and paneling. The end result is amazing! You've brought the chateau back to its glory days, probably even better than what it was. Much respect for all of you.

I agree. Pottery Barn has wonderful battery operated, timer candles. I believe they have wax on the outside of the candle. If not they sure do feel like it. Set the timer and beautiful candles that flicker every night.

Suggestion - All of you should take a turn sleeping in the suite and using the bathroom and sitting room. It's a great way to find out things that might not be obvious.

Also a good suggestion. Pretend to have an over night stay and see how smooth it is. 😊

Whenever you get discouraged over small bumps in the road go back and watch your first video of the chateau to remind yourselves what a Herculean task you’re undertaking. Oh, and I covet those large shears Tracy uses-they make me smile every time I see you use them. Well done, all of you.

As you know it's never "just a little fix"! Your ability to stay calm and carry on serves you well. Bravo! 🤩🤩🤩

It’s a little late now as I see someone repaired the pipe leaks for you. I highly recommend putting water shut off valves to all your fixtures. This way you can shut off the water to that one thing for repairs without having to shut off water to everything. I didn’t see any shut off valves to the toilet, tub, sink, etc. The same would be true for all the heating radiators. If your radiators are daisy chained, you might need bypass valves. These changes will save you time and headaches in the future. As you remodel, it should be all about making it easy for you to upkeep the place and deal with repairs. My wife and I are loving your videos. Keep up the hard work. ❤

Great suggestion. Something i would never have thought of. Yet sounds very sensible 😊

I'm stunned at the beauty and attention to detail in your amazing renovation, but like more than one or two commentators, I've worked in hospitality, and you would be amazed at how much theft and/or careless disregard for property some guests will display. If it would break your heart to lose, for example, a cup and saucer from theft or even accidental damage, please put them in a display case and use something pretty but replaceable.

They only have two guest suites and are promoting a luxury experience, so if any items go walkies it'll be pretty obvious who did it. Given the rooms will likely be prioritised for patrons, who I can't see trying that sort of thing, or people with a genuine respect and affection for the chateau and owners, hopefully it'll not come to that. But then again, as the saying goes, there's nowt as queer as folk 😁

Your attention to the smallest of details is what separates your work from many others' work. I can just imagine myself checking in to that suite and becoming giddy over every little thing: from the beautiful teacups and silver spoons, to the fact that the TV has a frame around it, to the hairdryer sitting on a perfectly-lined tray. What a dream of a suite you have created! So looking forward to the "before and after" video! Also, as many others have already said, the leaks are a disheartening find, but better to locate them now than later once guests are in the rooms.

My mother and father had holiday cottages in Cornwall that they used to rent out, and it was horrifying how often the visitors used to steal hangers, dressing gowns, ornaments, bedding, china, cutlery and once my mother caught a doctor attempting to walk off with a microwave - and he had the gall to carry on as if she was being unreasonable by objecting and insisting he gave it back. He even complained about her attitude to the company she used to get the bookings through! Basically, no matter how well off your visitors are, do NOT put anything into the flats that you would be sad to lose or have damaged.

So very lovely! Everything is beautifully done. The lucky people who get to stay in those rooms will feel they are in heaven!

So now your beatiful chateau Titanic suite is completed and this part is now back to its glory. What an amazing path you've paved. Congratulations! It' s really fantastic. Just remember your 1st videos.... How dreadfully dilapidated it all looked and then with patience, taste, sweat and will you've completely transformed the place. It's now out of this world!

400 Suite is absolutely beautiful! Like stepping back in time. All of your thoughtful touches and details do not go unnoticed! Well done! I love the luggage racks in the room. Here is a tip you may want to adopt. . . .put felt tabs (pads) on the back ends of the luggage rack (the part that leans on the wall) so when you fold them up, they will not scratch the paint.

My girlfriends and I went to lunch on Saturday here on Lake Norman, North Carolina and all we talked about was how much we all want to come for a vacation and stay in your 400 rooms.

What you are doing with your chateau is just short of miraculous.

The suite looks incredible beautiful and cozy. Some guest may not appreciate the hard work that went into it and be a bit rough on the room. Would it make sense to put some plexiglass behind the luggage stand? I know it looks ugly but the walls will get scratched fast. The Titanic cups and plates are beautiful. Can you live with the fact that guests may break them? Do you have enough of them, in case guests want additional plates and cups? You may want to use something less valuable and keep the plates and cups in your apartment. I’ve worked at a hotel and some guests make you shake your head.

The suite is magnificent. Just a suggestion, you both should spend a night in the suite and use it as though you are a guest. You will find some tweaks to make. Once you have done that, have one of your chateau couples come and stay a night or two and get their feedback. It will be much better to iron a few minor wrinkles with yourselves and friends providing hints to improve their stay rather than have paying guests providing negative feedback, not that I think they would but dummy runs always provide ways to streamline or ways their stay can be enhanced. I am seriously in awe of what you have achieved in the suite and having learnt so much the 401 suite, I have no doubt, is going to be even better. How you top the 401 suite by the ground floor reception rooms and kitchen will be a joy and a marvel to watch. Terry your visions for the chateau are superb, a lot of work, but superb. I’m so glad you have recorded it all but once it’s all over, you should write a book on how to restore an old building, how to recover from speedhumps along the way and photos on how to do the finer details. It would be invaluable to many people in the future who plan to restore, not renovate, chateaux, castles, manors etc, not just in France but world wide. There’s much you have done that could be transferred, for example, to restorers undertaking a mansion in the US for example. Just something for you consider in your spare time after you have finished in the chateau! 😀 Best wishes to you all as always from Neil in Australia 🇦🇺

In a year or two you will look back and laugh about all your trials and tribulations 😊😊

Thank goodness you found the leak before you had guests in that suite. You all have thought of every detail. It’s beautiful!

Can you get the people that installed the pipe in the first place to come back, it’s really their fault? The suite looks absolutely magnificent. I have velvet hangers in my wardrobe it’s the craze now. It stops clothes from slipping off the hanger. A vase of faux flowers in front of the fireplace is a thing now too. 🇦🇺💕

amazing, don't get discouraged! its all part of the restoration and better you find it now than when people arrive.💓

Wow, the 400 Suite has turned out to be such a work of art! Well done team!

Your mom has the most beautiful smile and her eyes are mischeaveously laughing, I just love her. You are all doing an amazing job. Love to you all from, South Africa❤

This too shall pass. Rock on!
