Join us, Daphne and Ian, as we embark on our new chateau renovation projects! This week, we take a look at an upcoming winter project in the Hunter's Lodge and continue uncovering the stone facade of the Farmhouse. We venture into the chateau moat on our little boat so we can address a growing problem on our dungeon window.
Our beau chateau (The 500-year-old, Chateau De Lesigny), is located near Paris, France. Most of the structures around the chateau domain need a full restoration, so we are investing everything we have into making the property thrive! We are learning more about french culture and developing new skills along the way!
As a French/American UC Berkeley graduate in Agriculture (Daphne), and a U.S. Air Force Tactical Response Force Veteran/ Kinesiologist (Ian), we share a love for challenges and adventure. We have a long road ahead of us and we are excited to share the experience with you!
You can support our renovation projects by joining our Patreon Community, where you can also gain access to exclusive videos and behind the scene access with Daphne and Ian! All patron funding is used to renovate this historical French Chateau. Every patron is paramount to our chateau renovations and we thank you all tremendously!

Tip for the ivy. Get a 1 or 2 meter rod that you can attach 550 cord (parachute cord) at the tip of the rod. Ram through the ivy as close to the wall, gather both ends of cord, attach to your tractor and pull vines off the wall. Really helps if you cut the base of the vines and wait a day or so for them to die. For your cobbles I’d add salt to your weed killer. Think Romans and Carthage. Happy Veterans Day to you too!

Fun video (as always)! Here in CA Wine Country we struggle with Ivy invading the redwood , oak and pine trees. We found that (if you have time) that cutting out about 12" of the main vine at the base (where the ivy vine enters the soil) and waiting a couple of weeks the entire vine dies and pulls off the tree (or a building) easily and does not damage to tree or structure. Viola! When you are removing ivy growing 100-150' in the air on an old redwood tree it needs to be as easy to remove as is possible. LOLs! Thanks for providing my French moment today. Merci! (BTW thank you [and the thousands of others who have served] for your dedication.)

Vinegar does work! There is a scientific paper on the subjekt and also it is used in many swedish communities just because it is not poison. There is special vinegar you buy ready to use. You have to treat several times (just like burning, the roots are still intact). In new areas to treat you have to treat minimum 2 times a season. Do not use salt.

If you cut the ivy at the bottom, and leave it for about a week, the ivy above the separation will all die back, making it a bit easier to remove. Consider Boston ivy, or Virginia creeper, which does not ruin building exteriors. Loving your channel from Mexico City.

The vinegar method recipe is 1 gallon vinegar, 1 cup of salt and one drop of Dawn dish soap. Must spray generously directly on weeds during a warm sunny day. The sun helps the weeds absorb the mixture and thus helps kill the weeds. Works best in small full sun areas so I'm not sure this would be the most cost effective way to solve your problem. Best of luck to you both! P.S. I just found your channel and LOVE your videos!!😍😍 I've been binge watching for the last 3 days! Can't wait to see the rest!
