THINGS ARE MOVING FAST!
Dan and Amaury (Damaury) tackle plumbting, removals and wood worm (basically everything except for gardening and carpentry) and take their relationship to the next level...
This Sunday is a normal Chateau Diaries, as I released a Christie's video on Thursday!

Love the “bromance” with Dan and Aumourie. They’re a hoot.
so i'm rewatching all of the vlogs from before, and seeing Dan now... holy cow he's opened up and become so comfortable with you all! i love it. in the old videos he's more reserved, no jokes, very simple dan the gardener. now being a vlogger himself, closer with everyone at the chateau... he's really one of you all and he's just at home! crazy how time changes things so quickly. i'm literally only watching vlogs from 1 year ago! love how open you all are with each other. your relationships are lovely to see.

You need to check the heating water PH. Having so many go bad at once tells me that you have PH problem eating your radiators from the inside out.
@rosemariedeschenes7013

I agree with checking the water PH. We have hard water and had to install a softening system so our heating pipes didn't erode. It might not be the only reason but it might help sort things out.
We have a huge nineteenth century wardrobe that we took apart for transport. It was was an extremely complicated puzzle to put back together. Apparently, there is an order of operation when reassembling these pieces. We got most of it done and then realized that one of the pieces should have been incorporated from the start, so we had to take it all apart again. Luckily, my husband and I share a good sense of humor, so we laughed through the entire process. This was a super fun vlog!
I watched this vlog with a silly grin on my face! You are all so fun & lovely! Your cuz is such a great addition & I’m thrilled to see him without a shirt, a-hem…I mean, settling in & enjoying life at LaLande. Love & laughter to you all!! 🥰

You guys really know how to have fun. I need to turn my house into this - life, love & laughter.
I remembered when I lived in London 13 years ago, I ordered a 40 inch flat screen tv. With my American mentality I paid for delivery, I expected my delivery delivered to my 2 floor flat. Boy, was I so wrong! Oh sorry miss, because of health and safety I cannot go up one flight of stairs. I mean, you carried that tv through the door and climb 3 steps. Health and Safety my arse! I ended up carrying it up the stairs on my own.

Kind thoughts and blessings to you. 🙂🕊️

That's why floor plans are important! You can mark the number and location of everything you need to keep track of that way.
Amaury can never leave again.. I literally cried laughing and the bnter between him and Dan is just too entertaining.
Same thing I was saying about the heating calculations in a previous video, though I think whoever did these calculations messed up you don't make your calculations based on what you assume would be done in the future or a modern house, for a chateau. chateaus and castles are usually not that great with preventing heat Escape unless proper installation and appropriate windows were installed later on

I noticed that you were having a problem with the geo thermal system. I’m not a technician. But I’m good a troubleshooting. At first I thought it may be a pressurized valve and it split the radiators. Because they all went at the same time. If it is supposed to be filled with antifreeze and it is rusty like that, it corrosion from water. Untreated river water is highly corrosive. I would make sure those new water lines in the garden weren’t accidentally tapped into. Just an idea anyway….

You truly bring a feeling of warm social interaction and fun to our busy lives. And it was certainly VERY warm during the slow mo!!! 😆 Thankfully my husband isn't a jealous man, pretty sure I made some "yummy" noises! Lol
The slow mo of Amury taking of his T-shirt while a guy walks behind looking at him is hilarious. The camp cowboy had my crying with laughter. The bromance is moving up a notch with a weekend away.
As an American I wonder what dishes I could bring to this group of foodies. What would represent my home? I landed on Fried chicken, mashed potatoes with country gravy, collard greens, and homemade rolls. Properly introducing everyone to heart disease. 🤣 Amoury’s slow motion already has all the lady’s hearts working overtime.
