Regardless whatever they can get to make the job run more smoothly he’s trying to bring in, including that new stronger winch a few months ago.

It's not easy selling property in France. A similar building in pristine condition can take years to sell, and for a lot less than in other countries. I suspect it could be very difficult to shift, for a number of reasons. Unless another Dan comes along.

There is only few videos when l dont get emotional over those progress dear Dan, and helpers , you are all amazing!!!!.your determination Dan is what l admire the most, NO complaints NO winging, just pure joy. It is not just the rebuilding, it is the spirit in which you achieve all this. And this is what made Dan so special and annoyed so many ..... just joy!!! Bless you Daniel from an old great grand Ma ❤❤❤

With so much negative stuff going on around the world, this channel is one of the few positive places to come every day. Even on days when there are no new videos I'll go back and watch some of the older ones. Thanks for sharing your journey with your friends Dan. Looking forwards to orange pant man coming back when he can 😎

I'm not a negative person but when I first started watching I thought no way! One of the most hard working guys I have ever seen. Hard working crew as well.

The trees are just like Dan - resilient, determined and tough as hell!

I can hardly WAIT until you get started on the Tower!! GREAT JOB, Dan!!

You know Dan, when this chateau project is done ... I feel like your " next career" could be as a cinematographer. These videos are - so well composed, framed, narrated. You're really talented at that also. Absolutely one of my favorite channels on yt.

What many viewers don't realise, you haven't sped up the footage. That is the real speed you have been working at. .....Well done guys ......What a super human effort 💪 ❤

I will never get tired of seeing those arial shots of the top of the Chateau. WOW! Also an arial shot of the grounds surrounding the Chateau looking much cleaner too and all the trees. I can see your vision of why you wanted to buy and reno this Chateau hidden in the trees. I'm glad to be a part of your journey and looking forward to what's to come.

I can see her smiling, waiting to stand proud and beautiful again. It really is a beautifully designed chateau, still loads of work, but every step will see her shine brighter. Well done one and all.

First thing I hit the like button, because I love the things that Dan and his crew do an awesome job!

This gives me a happy day seeing team Dan getting the roof back and allowing this beautiful historic castle to shine again.

The fact or the idea that when winter hits you’ll be roof proof is on its own an accomplishment beyond! You have all the floors and the roof, now plumbing and heating…and you’re moving in! The excitement of that is overwhelming !

It’s looking fabulous.Just beautiful camera work Dan.Thanks Brian.

The progress this week has been amazing. To see the 2nd part of the roof come together so quickly is awesome.

Ah Dan the aerial shot choked me up, following you from Dan the gardener to this is unbelievable, it’s like a fairy story, she is awakened and magnificent, and your determination and persistence is greatly rewarded. You deserve it. ❤

"Almost, definitely, certainly, a thing, now" Indeed!!

I hope you know we feel how big a deal this is. Really every step is a big deal cause no one else would have taken this on - especially doing so much solo. You get an applause from Michigan with every video and I would wager from everyone watching.

So good to see her coming back to life, well done.

The Chateau is turning into a beautiful Swan😊

Super fan here. Have just been through hurricane Beryl. Lots of damage, still no power and not for a few days. No propane, gas is hard to come by. Found some gas, after waiting in line for hours. Am sitting at a parking lot in my cold car, catching up on Dan’s videos.🥰😊😉A few days without 🤢🤢🤢 The roof is halfway done ?! 👍👍👍👍👍 Am feeling like Dan when he started without power and limited water. He made it and so will we. We are testing if the sun will fry our eggs 😂 Got to keep the kids entertained. We are showering under the garden hose and are sleeping with wet towels over us to battle the extreme heat. Almost feels like chateau life. When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. We are safe, everything else will fall into place.

France is very lucky to be so beautiful, therefore attracting mad Brits (and some others - but Brits are pretty prominent) who are willing to sink blood, sweat, tears and money into renovating French houses, mansions, chateaux, etc.
