My thoughts exactly, every time. It's humbling and yet also like a work of art, in the eye of the beholder. both in physicality and also as a process. But when did art require so many different skills... we come full circle, can only stand and wonder, enjoy. Dan's project exists on so many levels, both ordinary and extraordinary, one day at a time and yet an effort that is history embodied. And yet always with that spontaneity and humanity. It really is special. These words sound incredibly airy-fairy (and yeah, not like me at all), but here we all are, so many different perspectives.

WOW!!!! The improvement in your progress on this side of the chateau is impressive.

At the end of each day you surely must go to sleep with a satisfied smile!

Wow those floor joists went in a lot faster than the first floor you did. The last wing is going to be something to see with the upgrades you have acquired. Brilliant! I'm not guessing - really I'm not, waiting for you to surprise me

How pretty the gardens are looking with all the spring leaves on the trees. I hope you didn't lose many over the winter.

Good!!! Calvin is returning???! He is great help for you Dan, so happy for you. Dan your stairway and railing is so much easier for you and safer for you. All the best! Such an efficient way you placed several joists at once. You have figured out some excellent short cuts. Yep, I was getting excited thinking about those noggins!!! lol lol Very impressive Dan. God Bless.

Dan, I really do hope you will keep the Chateau and pass it on to your children. I just love how they will be able to tell their children and grandchildren children “This is what grandfather or great grandfather did.

Dam, you’ve definitely got those floor joists mastered!!! Fantastic work ❤🇨🇦

Dan, I have to tell you the best money you ever spent was on the hoist/crane thingy you use to lift the beams into place. You were very clever when you made that purchase. I also really enjoyed Dan the Gardener planting up the property. It was like the good ole days seeing you work with the plants. I just love your daily posts. I shed a tear when you don't post.😊

I know he's had (and will continue to get) help along the way...but he's the bulk of it. From just a crappy wheelbarrow and his own bare hands to what it is today. Major...major props, bro. You inspire me. Can't wait to see where this all ends up!! I wish so badly that I could be there to donate my time to help! Cheers!

The stairs have paid off already. I can’t believe how upbeat you are working hard on your own. 👍

Dan. What an amazing video of sa many camera angles and brilliant editing skills. Lets get Dan to 500k subs asap.....he deserves all the support possible..

I’m amazed at how much you have learned to do things so much faster. I remember when you guys were trying to fit one floor joist at a time… now you carry them up the stairs, put them on the lift and put five or six of them in at a time. I can’t wait to see what else you figure out how to go faster

Thanks Dan! It’s so fascinating to see all the things you do, perfectionism on the Mansard pieces, and the way you have streamlined the work. You have really good people helping when you need it. Nick is just amazing in teamwork.

Dan, you are one incredible man and a pure genius. My husband had been in the woodworking industry for 50 plus years. He passed last year, but I know he would have been glued to your videos as he was quite an expert with woodworking machines. I bet anything he would have loved to help you in a heartbeat.

Two things: 1. I hope that bird nest is still active. 2. I'm still championing you building a utility / work shed on the property to store everything out of the weather. Perhaps including a toilet / shower / utility sink. That way more people can stay on site to help out.

I really love seeing how you're working out your process improvement methods such as putting an entire batch of slats up and then adjusting. I bet it saves so much time doing it this way, at least it looks like it's saving a ton of time! Have really missed seeing you totally understand, the weather will be the weather and there's very little to be done about that but it's always good to see you while you're here. Can't wait to see the entire team all together punching this out really soon! Bring on the orange pants!

Can’t wait to see what the big surprise is - maybe the wall studs this side. I just love your passion, motivation and sheer will to keep going. You are certainly one incredible young man - and I’m glad you are still here after all the near heart attacks you must have had dangling precariously all over this immense old girl xx
