My heart stopped when the first amount of wooden beams almost catapulted him down the staircase

03:09 ... who else's heart just leaped into their throat right here. Whew😮😨😰

Buddy, you made me holler for the first time at the TV!!!! 'NO DAN!' Can we all praise the Lord for you not going down with all that lumber!!!! Dan's guardian angel is working OT.

Once I see a new video is available, I grin from ear to ear until several minutes after the video ends. I really love Dan and his chateau.

It’s amazing what you are able to do by yourself. Bravo, Dan.

Here we go again. I don't know who is more excited,Dan putting up the next new roof or us viewers watching Dan putting it up.

Your positive can do attitude is an example to us all.

Have you ever considered how many trips up ladders you make, how many noggins you have made, how much cement you have mixed, how much wood you have bought up to the floors, the amount of metal..the amounts must be incredible..but it's getting you there..what an incredible journey..so proud of yiye achievement ❤

Dan's filming and editing skill's are as incredible as his building skills. To see the cloud's in the sky go by as Dan works... Neither relent, Neither stop. Amazing.

Bet your maths teacher would be proud of you! x

I am so excited! And my personal dream is to see the château with no greenery growing out of it 😊…I cannot wait!

A one man whirling Dervish... unbelievable progress! Dan, be careful up there on your own... get the lads back!

It's unbelievable how quickly the walls to support the roof are going up and how little adjustment is needed to match the other side. That's a testament to the level of craftsmanship that is goung into the rebuilding of this beautiful chateau. Rock on!

Two weeks? I'm sure you're going to have that up in a week and a half because you're just that good! Incredibly proud of you over and over again every single video just more proud!

Does anyone else see the irony that the castle burned but Dan is constantly fighting rain? Nice work Dan.

I always look forward to tomorrow's video. 👍👍👍

Thanks for drone shots. It makes more sense now.

Big smiles at seeing the roof's framing going up. Its a good day! 😊

Roof time; almost as good as Noggin time!

Thank God for the winch. Bless you.

You're finding out exactly how good this old ma'am's bones really are!

I’d want to do a happy dance after pulling those 3 boards up😂 Well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dude singlehandedly is building the roof on a castle. What a chad.

OMG, the first load that you winched up that wanted to slide back down really had me holding my breath. You were basically sitting in it and I had visions of you ‘riding’ it down to the floor…A disaster waiting. WHEW !!

You never cease to amaze me, AND don't go jumping on those beams like that, you will give us all heart attacks, never mind what it will do to you. Luv ya

This is nothing short of a miraculous transformation! Slogging along, rain sleet, sun and snow .. you've accomplished THIS! Thanks for allowing us all along for the ride!

Good luck with the roof, Dan!

I am so thankful for the tool company that has gifted you the tools that have made your job so successful and able to do your jobs so successful.

Hi Dan, so good to see the progress, hopefully Nick and Brian are back soon to help you moving those timbers about. Have a great week, see ya tomorra 😊

I think you need to be awarded an Honorary Engineering Degree Dan..... how pracical and clever are you. Well done..... onward and upward. xxx

It's quite incredible how the similar jobs have changed as they are repeated. Dan is learning as he goes along and using that knowledge to his advantage. This is definitely the sign of an adaptable and intelligent craftsman. Well done Dan.

You are such a hard working guy Dan! And you make it look so easy! I know it's not. Wishing you all the best. I can't wait to see more! 🎉

Take it easy up there by yourself. You have came a long ways!

I applaud anyone who builds roofs because I could never, I’m far too afraid of heights.

This is how a man deals with a housing crisis. Courage, self belief and a can do attitude.

Boredom is never an issue here Dan! I feel confident now that I can hang my spice rack.

Exciting!!! Can’t wait for this next step! Won’t be long now and there will be a roof over your head

Dan, your castle is shaping up and soon you will be watching the sun rise and set every single day from your balcony, and you will survey all that you've done and the blood, sweat, and tears you poured into Chateau de Chaumont. You'll be an actual whatchamacallit, a compt. Compte de Preston? Anyways, you will be an actual king of your very own castle! I don't comment very often but I have been following your channel for awhile and I am so impressed with your hard work and willingness to go at it day and night, in the sun, rain, or snow, to make this place beautiful again. It's amazing! ❤

Dan the man with the plan

Actually the roof is ingeniously constructed

Every time I see a drone shot of the house I keep hoping for the day when there isn’t a single green thing growing out of the walls. It’s such an impressive thing to see how far you have come. When I see each new room and think wow that is a massive room. The chateau seems to grow. It won’t be long and all the green things growing on the house will be gone!

Good title for this episode: HEART STOPPER! Thank you, Dan. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

OMG, 3:09 You almost gave me a heart attack! 😲 I thought the see-saw effect was going to sling you down to your death! Please be careful! It's looking good - can't wait to see what this looks like by the week end!

Before you know it you’ll be walking around like a “Dapper Dan”. 💕🙏

Watching these videos has helped me keep a positive attitude while restoring our house. When it’s getting late or I’m tired I think of Dan restoring a whole chateau 😅 cheers!

Quite a contrast... the clouds overhead and Dan's work. 1 thing in common... Neither one stops!

Congratulations Dan, you're up to 520K followers. I have enjoyed your efforts since you started at the farm, bread oven, etc.

Man, the fitness levels you have developed Dan!!! Nothing short of amazing! Such work ethic. Fantastic.

Your enthusiasm is contagious Dan! I think you guys should have a special ceremony when the last two shrubs are removed from the front left balcony. Perhaps, if they are usable, they could go into a special place in the garden? Everything looks so good 👍

Just loving your channel and all the progress made. Bravo Dan the man!

I reconstruct horribly rusted and sometimes collision damaged vintage cars. I have never considered reconstruction & fabrication of a vintage structure! I'm watching and learning with each posted video....although you have given me encouragement to tackle some home things I thought previously best left to some professional! Keep up the positive power of believing in yourself! Thank you for your encouragement!

Yay it’s roof time !! 😀😀👍🏼

I LOVE that you are able to use the old shutters. With the timbers in above, and you standing on the floor, it really looks to be on the way! Fabulous work, Dan!! 🎉

I'm an ICU nurse and there are days I come home a bit tired. I have watched your grind for a few years now. Many times eating a bowl of spaghetti in the dark, when it's quiet and there's more work to do tommorow, I click on your latest video. I love to see someone who brings all they have to what they do. It's an inspiration. I respect it. I salute yound those around you sir. Things like this mean something. Not the thing. The effort. The dedication. The belief. The overcoming of insurmountable odds. I can't imagine the amount of are you crazied and there's no ways you've dealt with. And you win by saying GOOOD MORNING! Awsome my man. Just fucking awsome.

What I truly love about this channel is there is no” todays sponsor is NordVPN” bullshit. It’s just pure passion and for me meditation. Dans ability to work,film,edit, storytelling is a work of art. Legend!

Yahoo!! Love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦

wonderfully peaceful and interesting videos. I wish all of the internet was like this.

Dan , I am watching you do the impossible , yet there you are doing it. I am honored to have been with you from the start and my wish is to see it to the end with you. Outstanding and truely amazing work ! Thank you for this journey.

Come people hit that like button, it cost nothing

I love watching your show.

It looks lovely! You've done a fabulous job! I CAN'T wait to see all of the roofs up and the original structure intact. It's already so elegant and graceful. It will be stunning when the rooms are sorted and the windows are in. I can't wait to see it restored to it's former magnificence.

That winch and lifter really are amazing bits of kit. :-) he’s doing an amazing job.

Its heartwarming to see this roof going on. I know how much it means to you. A year ago it seemed impossible to us and now look at you go!!! Cheers from Florida, USA!

How in the world did the original builders build such a gigantic structure without all your special cutting tools, wrenches, building supply businesses close by, boxes of screws and nails, precise measuring devices, and perhaps no architectural design? It boggles the mind! Simply mind blowing!

Terrific and satisfying update. Thanks Dan!

Can you believe it Dan Daily 👏

Well done for doing the utmost for this burnt down building anyone has ever done for a singular one of the most beautiful buildings anyone anyone has ever created. Thank you for your vision !

Dan. This is one of your best ever videos. Not only did you fo all the work by yourself but you also filmed, shot and edited so much so produce a brilliant episode. I hope people look and realise it's just you there. You make it look so simple when it's not. Brilliant work

it is starting to feel like watching someone work inside instead of outside

You are living right! The calculations ~ match. Good step forward.

Dan, you are a wonder!! This was so good to watch. Congratulations on a great start. Cheers

Yeahhhhhhh. That’s awesome. Cannot wait for this part to be finished and you having a water free building!!!!!!

Every evening or early morning, I surf your channel to constantly marvel at the enormous project you are on...and fascinated by your tireless will to succeed at the sometimes seemingly impossible. Love from Sweden!

You make it look so easy and so fast and it is such hard work and also so entertaining. Thumbs up for you.

Dan you are phenomenal not just your building skills but your cinematic skills are wonderful too 😊

Here we see practice and dedication makes master 😮❤ its simply mind blowing how "fast" the second wing of the roof is popping up. 🎉 stay safe healthy and can't wait for the view in upcoming days.

What a fantastic journey this is...

OMG! Look at that beautiful frame!!!!!

WOW! We almost lost you with that first bundle of timbers!

I would def listen to the song “Dupe - Mbappe”, as I’m building 😅😅

Go Dan go. This is amazing. I'm just in awe how fast this is coming together.

One man. One day. What a difference! I'm so happy for you, Dan!

That crane is a brilliant bit of kit! Great progress Dan.

I am so proud of your work ethic and how smart you are with anything that comes your way, You have great friends who are always there when you need them. Plus you are an awesome dad.

A "like" does not seem sufficient ! 👋👋👌👌🤞🍀Amazing that the measurements are so in sync, what fabulous work by the original builders to have stood the test of time - I'm sure it would be an interesting conversation between them and Dan 😁

Boy Dan, i admire you. What a job you do

Absolutely amazing.. The whole ongoing journey has been so interesting, but sometimes my heart has stopped when you teeter on the edges and up the stairs doing your balancing acts! You are an inspiration to us all by showing what can be achieved by believing in yourself and having great support around you. It's been and will continue to be a fabulous learning journey in construction and personal strength. Thank you, Dan.

Incredible!!! Congratulations Dan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀

congratulations Dan!🎉🎉

MJS Love it , everytime I watch a video of yours I have to smash the like button. One of my favorite channels along with The Pethericks, both of your channels you guys have such a passion on restoring the impossible buildings.

Holy Moly it's taking shape!!!

Watching you reminds me of the saying “where there is a will, there is a way”.

Dan is a one man building crew. Amazing job

So exciting to see structures on both sides of the chateaux

How fabulous for you to get to this point. So much work, but what a result it will be ❤

So much progress today by yourself! It’s so exciting 👏👏

Such a smooth transition from floors to building the A frame inspite of gathering clouds and light falling. Incredibly exciting to see the second roof being installed

I am glad to see the Old Chateau reappearing thanks to your experience job.

I am still holding my breath...thank goodness for your strength. Thrilled that the measurements showed you favor and worked out so perfectly. The Chateau is beaming now that both roof structures are in process of completion. Epic !!! Dan you are amazing 👏🏻 🤩

What an amazing project. Inspiring, impressive and so unique.
