This is the happiest saddest day so far in the Chateau. Last floor is going in and almost completed. WOW!!! Congratulations Team Chateau! All the beams you have set in place look straight and secured. The brickwork looks amazing Dan. Soon framing for the roof. It is so rewarding watching this Chateau coming together. Breathing life back into the building. It is starting to look like a Chateau again and not just walls. What a view!!!

Not really the last floor yet, right? The tower and the turret both have a few levels (never mind access stairs), some of the bathrooms need joists and the cellar has a dirt floor in one room (where the previous owned hoped to place an indoor pool). Dan has the official plans, but utility lines might need to be revised before the last joists go in. Even when all the joists are in, the windows and doors need to make a watertight shell before the utilities are run and the 'good' subfloor will replace the temporary lower grade OSB. And then the radiant heat can be installed, tile laid and baseboards installed. Apologies, my inner project manager never stops working.

We love how you guys work together to get things done whether its unloading the trailer of wood beams or putting the steel into their respective places. Now Dan is getting us all excited about how this Chateau is going to look in the end.

What I really love: I started watching this as a 'daily show' about 3 month ago. And than, I started to watch the whole playlist, beginning with the first visit at the chateau - I'm not finished at all! So I do have the daily update and the comparison to the old videos. It's such a joy to see both next to each other. I can and would reccmend to everybody comming new into the middle of the current process of this renovation, to switch to the first video! Everything in the old videos makes so much more sense, when seeing the newer ones. And vise verce: It adds depth to the newer videos, knowing about the work that lead to the latest progress. So it would not be wrong, to tell the (new) audience from time to time, that there is this playlist. I'm sure there are still new viewers, that got recomended a new video by youtube - because I'm one of them.

That drone shot from the top floor - three TIRED men who have resuscitated a beloved chateau. SO deserving of a vacation on a beach with a beer.

Wow. In this video, you really can see the damage to the top of the building. The work you have done is brilliant

Wow the largest room at the very top will be spectacular! I’m glad to hear Dan say they are planning something special for the roof there Brian darling must you be so easy on the eyes! and with such a pleasant demeanor? Cheers

I especially liked the bit about carrying the wood for the roof inside & stacking it. It really brought into perspective the progress that it being made. It is a room with a floor and a ceiling. Shows just how beautiful Chateau de Chaumont will be 🧡

I enjoy it because Dan works so hard, he isn’t just throwing lots of money at it, works with his mates and clearly enjoying the whole process of bringing the building back to life.

How absolutely fabulous to see the three of you sitting at the top. Feel a bit emotional.

Overengineering the new roof sounds promising. I truly appreciate the dedication and effort you all are putting into rebuilding the Chateau.

It's amazing how much more is accomplished with a few extra "hands"!

That's kinda scary without walls ...😮 But ... Super exciting! The chateau looks happier! ... No one has stood at that point in many many years. Bravo 👏

To be honest, I was close to tears today. This is such a huge step that you reached. Building up the walls, put a roof on the the chateau is in theory half done. Stunning Dan, absolutely stunning.

I'm just happy That Dan has got help and is not breaking his back trying to do it by himself. You're the man. Doing well Dan. Looking goood 👍🇿🇦💓

My smile is huge seeing you all sat there at the top. 🌸

Oh, what a feeling! 🎶 You're sittin' on top of the World! 🎶

It's amazing how you have managed to streamline the flooring process. I can remember when you just did one wooden beam at a time. Now, you just knock multiples out at a time. Plus, NOGGINS! Congrats on the new view.

Love the shot of you guys sitting up on top of the Chateau. Things are really moving along quickly now. So glad you have such wonderful help

Your château is smiling, Dan.. As she did when the lights first went on, and Xmas tree. Now she wants her lid on.. And I'll be here to watch. Excellent work. Please mark the last noggin with the date you put it in... As a sort of ceremony.. 😂❤❤❤

It’s not even my chateau and I have no actual involvement in this restoration. I have been happy for Dan all along and have enjoyed watching his progress…..but now I can’t believe I’m actually excited over the arrival of the wood for the roof! Hahaha Now I am looking forward to watching the roof get built!

Dan, while each video is engaging and very entertaining. for some reason I am feeling very excited for how much you have achieved. It is truly a phoenix project, watching the chateau rise from the ashes by your sheer determination and skills, along with the assistance of a few others. I hope to live long enough to see you finish the chateau, but regardless, I’m so grateful that you have shared your journey with us. 👏

There is a wistfulness about this floor. You guys are such a great team, and have mastered these floor installs. Only to finish them. The rooves are next of course. And then such a topping out day.

Dan the Man! Thanks for cool drone shots of you all sitting in front of the brick chimney!

Finally, I have caught up to "real" time. Wow! What an awesome project. This is, by far, the most interesting program on KZread, for me. Now that you are reaching the top, it seems that you have a lot of repair work to do on the masonry. The amount of missing rock/brick is frightening. I am a history person and I love the fact that you are restoring history. I would love to do the same thing and restore the old Bede estate in France. Good luck as you progress.

Yes when you watch Dan's journey from the beginning then it gives a better insite and enjoy the videos more when you understand what has gone into it to get to this point.

I suppose we all have our own likes about Dan’s channel. My husband was a builder all his life and it was always magical for me to see him take an empty lot and build a beautiful home or take a rundown job and turn it into a beautiful place to live. I just happened upon his channel right from the beginning and seeing that young man spend hours after hour digging trash out of the basement with only a shovel and wheel barrow and you had to admire his stamina and I just had to keep watching wondering how long it would take him before he gave up and praying he would not. The big highlight was when his friend “orange pants” would come and help and they would get a room completed . It is so much easier on him now with his channel has grown and he can afford to have helpers an tools and he is still filled with the wonder of restoring this old castle back to its former glory. That’s what keeps us all riveted and just filled with this same enthusiasm to see this magnificent castle once again a beautiful completed building. Hurrah for you Dan…I am sure there is nothing much that can keep you from pushing on until it’s finished. One more thing I want to say to the ladies who are watching please keep on with your lovely sexy remarks but PLEASE if you are elderly don’t tell him your age. Let him think there are a bevy of beautiful young things that are grooving on them. I raised two very sweet and loving males and just the thought of old ladies with those kind of thoughts is painful. Bless you Dan for a job well done.👏
