And with those beautiful grounds... that could be a real moneymaker for them!

Wow, exactly what a great venue right

And the Church is near

wedding in normandy, france in a chateau with some classical musicians. Hell, an orchestra. I'm wedding crashing.

@@mulethedonkey2579 Haha100%

Money baby

I doubt they recorded the parts where they were screaming at eachother.

That's called editing and having enough money to buy a mansion

@@OvidusNaso actually, buying castles in france is very cheap. theyre cheaper than houses because they need repairment, and housing is already cheap in france. theres over a thousand castles for sale in france

@@miaalmeida4787 I mean. It's a stretch to call it "very cheap", but it's definitely more affordable than most would think. A chateau like this will still run you a couple 100k, with the real cost hiding in the reno costs.

I so agree with your comment! you can tell how much love and respect is in their marriage by the way the communicate and their body language. Most couples argue trying to build a prefabricated book shelf together 😆. what a beautiful life and house they made.

This!

If a renovation breaks a marriage, shouldn’t have married to begin with

Absolutely stunning!! Hope to visit, I am only 73. You are a lovely family. Your wry humor is amusing. Best wishes!

Imagine inheriting that ! Amazing.

AGREEEEE

Herself? Houses have no gender. Its an it.

you cannot whitewash a *house* maam..... edit: please stop replying telling me about the whitewash thing and how dumb i am. like, i get it, i wrote the original first reply at 4am and i was impulsively typing. i got soo many replies to that comment telling me the definition, which i all replied to, trying to redeem my stupid ass, yet you guys still going at it. im not that stupid to not know what homophones and metaphors are, i was not in the fresh state of mind. plus i had been watching some video essays about the term whitewashing and many videos with the word whitewashing, them referring to the racial term.

@@paimon7208 I think she means making the walls all white like they do in modern houses.

@@paimon7208 I’m not sure if they meant whitewashing as its most commonly used or if they meant that a lot of modern interior design just paint everything white and leave it very minimalist. Whitewashing is also a painting technique that many use to bring texture to their walls and wood surfaces.

Yes

I hate the white color inside of any buildings it so boring and bland

Agree. It's so stunning. She's very talented.

12:45 are grenade apples NOT oranges!

Agreed. That in particular blew me away!! Sublime!

Twenty minutes

Maybe a trustworthy friend or family member?

I THINK THEIR BANK ACCOUNT IS HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! The average person cant afford this reno

Yeah, I have a partner who had that attitude but no bank account to support. Now we're broke with no pension! Hopefully there will still be a state pension for us in 15 years time...

@@PatchouliPenny and your stillbirth this person...Desperate ppl.

"That's not just a house, that's a home you just made" 💓

Not gonna lie

Would love to have that in my home one day

Zrxtxxxxx

I had just said the same thing. I agree. 👍🏻💗

I agree. I'm so confused about the set up.

Me too! A walk all around the property, a walk around the outside of the house, and then a walk around the inside from the unfinished top to the beautifully restored down. When we were restoring Conishead Priory in the seventies and eighties, now the Manjushri Institute on youtube, we made a front room into a sort of photographic and display room of the history and the restoration to date and as planned with the National Trust. Then we prepared a full tea area and invited the public in for an Open House with tours, to wander the property and to contribute support by subscription. We also created a little shop for nicnacks and books on the great houses of England, area history, etc. we invited local shops in to sell their wares too and had a garden shop adjacent to the vegetable garden, run by a local nursery for the day. It was a raging success with newspaper and local TV coming in! Many local people had never been inside in their whole lives! As we involved the community with the restoration, and festive activities, many needed contacts were made and we began to find more ways to fit into the community! We decided to do open house once a year and later expended it to daily tours when interest grew. Just a suggestion!

Yes that would be wonderful!!

yall did

??????

Agree'd. As an avid watcher of renovation videos I am constantly let down by how many people remove trees and greenery not realizing how much better looking they are than bare spaces.

As beautiful as the ivy is it really is horrible for the structure.

Seeing as they redid the facades im guessing they had no choice but to take it off and it can also really damage the walls they just spent 100k on renovating

@@SaneNoMore your comment says it all, you’re a watcher not a do-er, those things look beautiful but they are a night mare for the house, filled with rodents and eating into the building, that’s probably why it cost so much for them to fix, as everything was rotten.

Ivy destroys the stone work and bricks. You could put Ivy on your walls

I agree the front of the house looked better with original colours

yesss that was much better before :(

Greenery is terrible for brickwork, though...

Agreed - it felt warm and inviting with all the nature and with the garden and greenery and those two beautiful trees to the left that were removed. It is very beautiful and stately now but perhaps not as charming.

捕獲阿滴！

what a lovely couple!

They become a house enemy and huge maintenance issue. I hate what leaves do to roofing over time.

me tooo

Same. I was actually saddened when they removed a lot of the greens outside. But I guess it'll be a hassle to clean and maintain...

The entire process is on their channel.

Check their instagram. They documented it there from the very beginning, even before youtube days.

Right! and one of the children was a baby! Holy moly.

That's some feminist nonsence xD

@@0Diazzz0 It's reality and has nothing to do with feminism. A feminist would say you can do it all! But the reality is children are really hard work. You don't know yet because you're still a child.

@@jesselizcher In reality people do this all the time. It's not hard work to raise childeren at all. We've been doing it since the dawn of time. You're just projecting.

@@0Diazzz0 Look at all of the fucked up humans in the world parents need to be trying harder.

Yes! Lovely vision filled people!

yeah but i like those styles too. dark beams and whitish. fabrics and often red. but what the challenge and fun in that for anna. I've learned though that those white rooms loose a lot pf appeal being so large. i love waiting for anna;s creativity.

I totally agree!!

Vicki, I hope you don't mind if I make your comment my own, as it fits me o well. Happy 2022 to you, to all our friends at the chateu, and to all these lovely people who make up one of the classiest group of commenters ever! After each episode it's an added pleasure to read the comments section!

@@ExpectMiracles55 Not at all!! All of the comments also express my feelings as well!

@Vicki Eskridge although this is the 1st video of theirs i’ve seen, i couldn’t agree more with what you’ve said... i’m blown away with the whole process from start to finish!!

Such a kind and true statement. Hope you’re happy and healthy as well! The world needs more kindness like you’ve shared here.

J'ai directement pensé à toi 🤣

too dark, dreary green color in the guest bathroom ... sorry... also too many green painted walls in the other rooms. on a not sunny day ... staying in the rooms would be depressing

This is a lovely comment 💗

Actually you see them every day at McDonald's, they just don't have the financial means to impress you

Because unusually it costs more than to just build the whole thing from scratch. My grandma's got a small garden piece here in Germany with a little pretty much torn down hut she and my granddad built up. The roof's soggy and the walls are crumbling. But since it's got some protected landmark stamp on it you'd have to renovate the thing wall by wall, costing more than to just rip the whole thing off and building double the house there.

wow

Which city is it in?

Good luck with the burocracy in Italy, I'm sure the cabin is worth the hussle!

Well put! Spot ON❣️

especially the two big trees left of the chateau, why chop them down? not very climate-friendly

@@dawm89 i agree it was more beautiful with all the greenery and its sad to see the trees go, but maybe because the trees were so close to the building there was a safety risk? i hope that was the reason anyway

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bah_qbWe2L3YcY0.html

@@dawm89 I agree with this however, at the end of the video, you can see in their place are two new saplings as well as a grass/ greenery bunker! so an overall net gain

Well, sometimes the tree roots can damage the foundations. We have a big chestnut tree right next to our house, and our cellar is permanently wet because those roots find a way in...our house was built in 1900. Not to mention the extra work due to foliage permanently clogging the gutters. But I still can't bring myself to get it removed... also the ivy, as beautiful as it looks, does a real number on your walls. Those little sucky roots go underneath your plaster and dampen the walls.
