So glad to see that Benoit was able to make such great investments with the money we all raised. Not only the machines but also the hiring of Vincent, who clearly fits in fantastically.

Yes, it’s great to see the updated workshop. May I suggest Benoit contacts Amaury at Chateau de LaLande regarding the way to use the wood working machine he’s untrained in. I’m sure Amaury would be familiar with it. Also Amaury may have suggestions for his workshop layout to make it super efficient. Also they’re both master craftsmen, I’m sure they would have a lot in common. And yes, if I make it to France, I’ll drop in to see Benoit. The bedroom and bathroom are coming along! 👏🏻👏🏻🛁🚽🚿

Benoit is top drawer. I love his enthusiasm, and humour. I wish you'd feature more of him doing his magic in carpentry. It never gets old.

We love Benoit! So happy to see how our community has come together to get him the best workshop to continue his work safely!

I am so happy to see Benoit happy and healthy and with safe machines, thanks to a lot of generous people all over the planet.

I’m so happy to see Benoit’s workshop with all his new machines. It is wonderful that he has regained the use of his hand.

It is so lovely to see Benoit back working and in good health. Such a very humble, kind, fun man who is also hard working. I’m glad he has Vincent as someone he can trust and work together as a team. Benoit has done a great job in his workshop and so deserving. I loved the excitement in his voice as he showed all his equipment Everything is moving along and looking forward to seeing it all finished. Keep going guys and the vision will be great to see. ❤❤❤❤

So delighted to see Benoit is okay and has safer tools. The bedroom suite will be wonderful!

Great progress on the rooms. Benoit is so gifted, a true master of his craft and needs his own show! Vincent, Anna and Philip are lucky to know him.

I am so glad people helped him with his livelihood.

I'm happy the guys can have fun while they are working. They seem to all get along really well.

Hello from PEI Canada. So happy that Benoit is back. I liked his sketching, chicken legs. Hilarious

I am so happy for him to have all the proper tools to stay safe. You can see how happy and grateful he is.❤

I love the traditional style moldings. They are so in keeping with the character and time period. Some of the renderings people offered were lovely, amazing really, but so devoid of any relation to the history and the place as to almost be sterile and could be dropped anywhere. You have a one-of-a-kind French chateau. Good call.

Benoit is such a great person. So fun, funny and hard working. How sweet of him to do collages of those who contribute. 300 and that is only of those that sent their pic. I didn’t. Sorry Benoit! But was so happy to be a small part of this contribution to your cause. I’m so happy that you were able to get new equipment plus help.❤

Philipp agrees.

Benoit’s new machines are amazing - he will be able to continue his beautiful bespoke work safely. You can tell how deeply appreciative he is - making collages of all the people who donated to him. He is a one of a kind. I love watching him on your channel and also on Ian and Daphne’s channel.

My wife immediately spotted me on the second collage at Benoits', lol. So great to see he has the tools he needs and deserves! May he never be injured again!

And who wouldn’t be excited by new plumbing supplies? Anna, all I can think of regarding the ceiling paint that was so easily removed is that it was actually tempera, water soluble but could last for centuries. It makes zero sense to use that on a ceiling unless it’s a fresco but it’s all I got. 🤷‍♀️ LOVELY to see Benoit back and taking no prisoners in the ongoing banter battle!

Whatever happened to Benoit's son; he isn't in the show anymore? Perhaps, he has gone to University a distance away. Would love to know where his smiling face has gone to!🤣 This progress in this chateau never ceases to amaze me, it is fantastic to see everyone working hard on this project in a very friendly and relaxed environment; I am forever laughing with the jokes coming and going with the male group, Anna is very serious, but I think she just wants to get going with it. Congratulations to all of you. Beautiful outcome in this lovely home.

Wonderful to see Benoits new workshop he is clearly delighted and apprecitive a brilliant vlog tonight 😊

Seeing Benoit always makes me happy. Such a lovely man.

So nice to see Benoit's workshop with his new tools, glad to see him healed and back to keeping Philipp in line too! ;)

Always a joy to watch Benoit work his magic! Phillipp, the hidden door idea is genius! Another detail that makes this home personal & unique.

One again a very awesome vlog. So happy benoit is better again and having fun working. Lovely to see the new workshop and the new tools! He really deserves it. Also so curious about how the new bathroom is going to look. Is Anna finally gonna give you an orange room? The shower? I wonder... you both are awesome!

It's so wonderful to be able to enjoy watching Benoit and Phillip busting on each other again! : )

Benoit and Philip together are hilarious - and now Vincent, too! Comedy trio. So glad that Benoit has been so blessed by all the support - not only in getting newer, safer machines, but also encouragement and emotional support!

Benoit has returned! I love the sparring between he and Phillip. 😂

You two are amazing. Love watching your progress. Inspires me to work harder.

Hi Anna, the paint can be washed from the ceiling, because it is an old material called for "Leimfarbe" in German. It was perfect for molded ceilings, because the paint couldnt get to thick on the surface, otherwise it would crack and has to be removed by washing it off as you did so well. So you did it absolutely right. Greetings from Hamburg ❤

I cannot believe you are so driven with that glue floor, Anna! I would tear it up...

The French sass thrown around on these videos warms my heart

Love Benoit so happy he is happy with his tools of trade. The room is coming along 😊

I love the humor between Phillip and Benoit. I find myself laughing out loud every time they joke around.

Philipp is hilarious. I truly enjoy his humour!

The ‘boys’ are very cheeky. 😊 I agree the mouldings add such class to any room.

So great to see Benoit back and looking like he's pretty well healed!! It made me tear up visiting him at his workshop and how grateful and appreciative he is!! God is Good!!! 🥰

Love to see Be lit directing traffic….and the washing of the ceiling.

Oh wow, amazing to see myself in the collage of photos. I travelled to France from my home in Australia in October - I wish I had arranged a visit!

How I enjoyed seeing my photo on the first collage that comes on camera, and to see the various equipment! And how I love those guffaw moments when Phillip tosses out an absurd remark, or he and Benoit go at each other. What a bunch of busy bees you were this time around! Poor Anna, but you still look trim and lovely as you trudge through those drudgery tasks.

Heartfelt thanks for sharing your content. Many blessings to you and your family

Oh it is so exciting to see the new equipment that Benoit was able to purchase. I also love the bathroom and other rooms you are working on nw. it is so wonderful to be able to watch all the marvelous work you are doing in that Chateau.

Hello Darlings With Benoit nothing less then perfection I’m loving how the room is so dreamy Lots of hugs ❤️🐶

It's great to see "all hands on deck" and so much progress! Philipp is his usual hilarious self with his comments about gratuitous body-shaming and ventilation in the WC.

Honestly lived the banter and teasing between then guys and nice that Phillip has a light man to fing Benoit. Hugs

My heart went pitter patter when I found my picture on Benoit ‘s wall. So touching he would think of doing such a thing. So happy it’s all worked out for him. The room is coming right along.

Looking very nice guys. Love to see Benoit again. He and Phillips discussions are timeless...

The master suite is really coming along beautifully. So happy for Benoit and all the amazing new machinery he has to work his magic. Well done! Anna, you are such a trooper for working out those floors and that ceiling. I hope you treat yourself to a relaxing spa day after all that hard work. I think the substance you were washing off of the ceiling is most likely Distemper paint. Billy Petherick worked on one of the rooms in the chateau a few months back to prep the ceiling and walls for new paint. He spent 3 days washing that stuff off the ceiling first. You could tell how annoyed he was that it took so long. Hopefully your room gets done sooner so you and Philip have a proper place to retreat to after all the very long days of work still ahead of you. Hope you and your lovely family have a wonderful week ahead. ❤

Can’t wait for the end result guys ….wonderful to see Benoit back in form but must admit the anxiety I experienced when he was demonstrating the new machinery , the blades , such a dangerous trade and so much respected Xxx

So wonderful to see Benoit and Vincent, and enjoy the comic interplay between all the guys!

Can’t wait to see the progress and have a couple giggles. You both are awesome🫶🏻

So happy for Benoit, getting new and improved machinery and more safe. His poor cut off finger reminds me of my grandfather's two cut off fingers from a logging machine. He use to put a bowl over his hand and one of the shorter fingers was the head of a 🐢 turtle for us kids.

Great work everyone. Makes me chuckle to hear Benoir and Philipp...what a comedy duo. So fantastic to hear about what Benoir has done too...he is a lovely man and so very skilled....we are sadly getting thin on the ground here in UK of proper tradesmen...everyone wants to sit at a computer today...that's no good for the long future😢....

Happy to see Benoit back and better than ever.

Thanks for the tour Benoit! Thank you Phillip for setting up the Go Fund Me account for Benoit!

Its great to see Beniot has a safe environment to work in, and that he has photo's of all the people that helped. If all the ladies take him up on his invitation I think he will get flustered and run for the hills. 😅He such a lovely person. The rooms are looking really amazing. Anna have you thought of putting a thinner moulding running parallel to the large in the box / rectangular ones , it will just look rather special when it got gold on it. I cant wait to see the colour you've actually chosen. X

You guys are hilarious today. Thank you for sharing.

Wonderful to see Benoît in his atelier with his new tools and the beautiful portrait boards of all of us “friends of Benoît” ~ absolutely lovely ~ thank you for sharing these precious moments & your inspiring lives with us! 💗

Good morning from st Kilda Victoria xx

what you are trying to remove is old lime paint which you will need days to wash off like this. we used a pressure washer with a floor attachment with big buckets underneath and 'water vacuum cleaner', to not flood the complete house. this was the only way to get the complete paint off the walls and ceiling.(sorry, I don't know the english terms, but hope you know what I mean)
