This reminds me of the saying "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." How does Dan renovate a chateau? One day at a time. Well done Dan!

It is wonderful to re-watch the amount of clean up and repairs you have made. The thousands of hours, the tons of dirt and ruble moved, the number of trips made to purchase tools and supplies. Absolutely amazing! Congrats Dan

Not just the hard work restoring this chateau but also the brilliant filming needs applause ❤

NEVER, did I ever think I would learn to restore a Chateau! Ha! If only I was in my 30’s and found an opportunity to do what you are doing. You are incredibly multifaceted in your knowledge-and you have a sense of humor! Congratulations, Daniel you are an amazing, brilliant, handsome man with the ability to entertain and charm your community, WHILE, you renovate your Chateau, again, congratulations!!!

Wow, thanks Dan for the recap it's really amazing how much you have accomplished!!!😊 They need your help over on Maui!!! We all need to say prayers for the folks that have lost so much, God Bless them all !!!

I forgot just what the chateau was like before you started. Did it ever seem daunting? I never doubted you Dan! Between you and your friends, you are doing a fantastic job! Power to you! Thanks for taking us along!😊

I have been doing property repairs for the last 20 years and I can totally understand why you took this job on daunting as it is. What a beautiful building and setting. A real Labour of love.

You have changed Dan, during your renovation process, to being Dan the man who can. You have grown up, as you build your lady up. You have also built muscles up, that you never knew you had I am sure? It really is quite remarkable what you have achieved in the last 6 months! Nick and Cameron and Calvin have been such great help, as you progress at break neck speed. Keep safe, and keep on truckin' young man. xxx

Amazing progress with the help of Nick and his machines, Cameron, Calvin (orange pants man), your neighbour and the “bee man”! Lots and lots of good Karma sent to you every step from us here too.

It’s unimaginable how far you’ve come and unimaginable how far you’ve got to go Dan. God speed young man.

Flabbergasted at the extent of your achievements in restoring your dilapidated chateau. Just the planning alone is mind boggling to me. What a legacy you are creating for Jack P and Thomas! Congratulations on all your achievements in 150 days of blood, sweat and tears of joy! See ya tomorra. 🙏❤️

This compilation must have been so encouraging to edit together; the amount of work it reflects is truly remarkable. You've accomplished a lot in a short period of time, Dan, and it's been a great pleasure watching the progress. I remember when you only had a couple thousand subscribers, and while there've been many tough days, you've inspired many of us. Thanks, and congratulations.

Good morning team Dan from a freezing cold New Zealand ❤ Those 150 days you have accomplished so much from being beyond super human too even scaring the pargeba’s out of us all … We are so proud of you … Here’s looking forward to the next 150 + zillion days of the amazing reno 😊❤

I’ve been delightfully with you from the first gate opening. The shock of the chateaus condition thru to admiring her great bones. Such skilled friends helping from the dedicated Orange pants, talented Cameron and of course the legendary tree man himself, Nick. Thank you Dan for taking us on this satisfying look back journey of skill, determination ,creativity and dedication. I just can’t wait to be invited through the doors into an amazing finished home. I worry about you lots, and hold my breath as you lift, take a back step, or just crawling around up there. Such an inspiration to watch, thank you Dan.

Thank you for the retrospective!! It's always good to remember where we came from to fully appreciate where we're going. You're one-man show is really spectacular, Dan!

Those brick archways you made are my favorite part. I think because it's a little bit of beauty in all the structure and hard slogging through dirt and debris. Well done Dan, I'll be here for the next 150 days

Dan, you've brought the blood and sweat, while the rest of us are bringing the tears as we watch the transformation of your castle. Well done, you!!

Un-flipping-believable. From dirt and trash covered and clear views to the sky (well, except for the trees) to cleared floors and newly installed upper floors in only 150 days, and mostly alone! Ye gads, Dan. Take it easy on yourself. But keep up the good work too.

I’m in awe of your resilience and can do attitude. I would love to have had the chance to work on such a project.

Aw that was brilliant Dan! An excellent reminder of all you’ve achieved. We were shouting Oh the Tank, Oh the Arches, etc. amazing how fickle I am at forgetting! I just don’t know how you decided what to put in and what to leave out as we know that eleven minutes only scratched the surface of what you’ve achieved, you are just beyond amazing. Honestly, there aren’t words to say how proud I am of you.

That is a very serious undertaking. Seeing the many tons of dirt that were filling the structure, the trees, the rusted out I beams, and the brick and stone work that needed to be done. That's definitely a huge challenge. Great work.

150 days of thrilles , chills, fright,joy, happiness, love and the greatest ambition I've ever witnessed, you have amazing talents, striving for perfection is beautifully achieved. Bless your every move and action. Bless you and your wonderful family.

The amount of progress you have made is absolutely stunning! Seeing the state of the building in the beginning is a reminder of how far you’ve come. I’ve been with you since the beginning of this project wondering if you were mad for taking it on 😊. You have amassed a huge following and I couldn’t be happier for you! Onward and upword!

Bloody hell. It's only when I watched this it reminded me of how much has been accomplished so far by Dan (and with help from friends at times). I'd completely forgotten about the bee nest. It's become addictive watching Dan. His "good morning" and "see you tomorrow has become part of my life. Well Done Dan. I'm excited to see what happens in the upcoming months ahead.

When you first started, I thought you were crazy for taking this on and even crazier for the amount you were doing with no help. There have been several times that i have been on the edge of my seat watching and had to remind myself that you clearly lived through the day because you posted a video. You continue to create quality and compelling content while breathing new life into a beautiful disaster of a building. Please keep going and thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!

Amazing transformation already. And it’s only the beginning. Truely wonderful to see it coming back to life. Great job Dan (and friends). 😊

What a lot of hard work has gone into this renovation so far. You are all heroes. Cant wait to see the next 150 days of reno.

Every episode, you don’t see how much has been done. But when you put it all together, it’s amazing what you’ve accomplished.

So happy to see just how much you have achieved in 150 days and will be here for the next 150 and more. I'd just love to add my voice to the chorus of "so proud of all your achievements and indefatigable spirit." The sheer amount of effort, hard grit and dogged determination that has brought you here is truly an inspiration to so many of us to get moving and create something. Thank you Dan for posting and I hope you have had at least a little rest after filming Stephanie's patreon days etc etc, your health is a priority.

What an inspiration you are Dan! With grit and determination, dreams can come true! 🏰

Just imagine how the world would improve if it was full of Dans! A wonderful, intelligent, funny, hard working, resilient man who is loved by us all. Can’t wait for the next 150 days of Dan’s life at the château!

Being able to put together what the industry calls a "clip show" with that much progress is quite impressive.

Dan it was a 150 days worth watching all. We were all very proud of your achievement. Well done the chateau will be a home you can be proud to own

Already it’s starting to shine in a very short space of time and one things for sure it will only be getting brighter. Such hard work and determination, well done Dan.

Wow, when you put it all together, it’s amazing what you’ve accomplished in less than half a year, & those of us who’ve watched from the beginning know that you’ve done much more than you showed here. I hope that by doing this compilation & having some fun at Steph’s this week, you’ve had a bit of a rest & recharged your batteries 💕

Although I have watched every episode since the beginning and have been amazed this retrospective is awe inspiring. Good job Dan!!!!

When this video first started I was like, "OH YEAH, it looked like that." How quickly we forget. It is absolutely astounding how much you have accomplished. This video also highlighted how much work Nic and cameron have accomplished outside as well. All this in less than 6 months. The word 'inspiring" comes to mind. 🧡

Just amazing Dan. Well done.

So proud of you Dan! Hubby and I don't miss a single video, we are so emotionally invested in you and the château. Hoping to support you on Patreon soon! Well done and congrats on 150 days of renovations!

SOOO much work! And we've been privileged to see the progress EVERY DAY. Great job, Dan!

Remarkable, Dan, just how very much you have achieved…and such a big part of it on your own! Well done!!

Great work Dan. I am currently working on my four bedroom Victorian house. Before binging on your chateau renovation, I felt as though my project was as huge as yours and bordering on overwhelming. Watching your work has really given me perspective and liberated me to push on. Having said that.... No I wont make any H&S remarks, its all been said. Good job , great effort. Stay alive .

It is helpful to see it all together like this. One forgets all that goes into something like this as each new project starts. Nothing about the newest floors and Yurt. You will be quite famous by the time the roof gets on. No one in the entire world is doing such a HUGE job basically alone. YOU ARE AMAZING!

Dan my favorite man. Since the beginning you have given all of yourself to the renovations of the chateau. Labor has been the biggest challenge. You have shown such great courage and strength in bringing back this home. Until next time. Take care and stay safe my love. 🍺🙏🌹😇🕊🇺🇸❤️🌈🌞👍

150 days went by very fast. Somehow watching at this speed makes me more tired. And worried, you seemed to take some chances with your well being. So glad to be on the journey with you. Congratulations Dan! 🎉🎉🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow its amazing what you have done in 150 days Dan, I had forgotten some of it. But putting it together like that you can see how much you have done and how it has changed. WELL DONE x

AMAZING!!! What a great diary this is for you and your sons. It is hard to believe that so much has been done in really a short time. You are one very clever and determined man Dan Love it 🤗

You’ve achieved so much in such a short time well done I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again you mr Preston are an inspiration

I think I started watching your daily videos in the second week. And every day, whether it is in the middle of the night or at breakfast, I am really looking forward to the new video. You are doing such a great job, keep it up!

You never cease to amaze me. Your tenacity, mental and physical determination. Your family must be so proud of you and your achievements. May you keep going on till you forefill your dreams and then enjoy the fruits of your labour. Bravo.

I have to say, you did remarkably well. I imagine that a small firm of professional external builders wouldn't have gone so far so quickly and so entertainingly!

Wow! The Chateau is a symphony of transitions. More striking is the transformation of Dan. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it! 😊

Welcome back. A great deal of work has been done at the chateau in a year. You accomplished a fantastic video day at Stephanie’s well done Dan she is lucky having a friend like you to help out.

How amazing is that to watch back of all the hard work you’ve come soooo far!! What an amazing legacy you’ll be leaving you children. I love what your doing. I would love to have the guts the talent and sheer determination you have (and the money) to restore history while making history. Love watching your progress. 👏🏻

Hard to express, how impressed I am. You are the man, Dan

Insane progress Dan - not only on the building but there’s a bit more beef of the twigs for arms now with all that hard work!! 😊 that’s a compliment by the way..

It's been quite the journey, and there's still more work to come. Im excited for the roof; keep up the great work, Dan!

Great job putting this video collage together. It's easy to forget how much work you've done so far. Dan you are a man on a mission and we're all loving watching you progress. You're amazing! ♡

It looks great just getting the dirt and plants out. Great project! Interesting to see the renovation from the ground up instead the top down.

So much achieved in those 150 days Dan and you’re channel has grown so much too, here’s to the next 150 days !

It’s been a great journey to watch and to see the channel explode. Thanks for so many hours of enjoyment. I look forward to your videos

Impressive summary! Looks like we got a view clips we didn't get to see before. The dedication and ingenuity is admirable.

This is phenomenal! As a new subscriber, I appreciate the recap. Can't wait to see more. Bravo!!

Watching you working on the chateau is a real treat! Also watching your life is very nice. Two years now I watch your vlogs and I want more and more! Proud to be a patreon!💋

I'd forgotten how big some of interior trees were. Just the sheer amount of work to remove debris is wild. Thanks for a look back.

Great vlog log Dan. Its been a journey but you have stuck with it, I have great admiration to you. Keep it up I’m enjoying your journey, so are a few others! Stay well.

Wow, you are amazing, I can't believe you are doing this mostly by yourself and filming at the same time...Can't wait for the next video, I watched all of them in 3 days...LOL

Great recap. All I hear myself saying is 'oh I remember that' over and over. Thanks Dan.

I’ve watched every minute of this as it was happening, and yet I’m still amazed at what you have accomplished! Congratulations, Dan!

How fun to watch this Dan. It seems like yesterday we watched all of this unfold. To think it’s been 5 months, how the time flies. Well done. We’re enjoying every minute with you.

So much achieved in 150days!! Well done Dan and helpers of course. Can't wait to see the next chapter. Hi from Ireland

Good heavens, I'd almost forgotten the stuff at the top of the chateau.... And the arches! Yes, those arches. Phenominal progress Dan and well worth all those kittens I delivered along the way! 😂🎉 Well done you.

Great to see you spent a weekend at Stephanie’s for the patreon days. You deserve some fun and a break. 🇦🇺

Just found your channel! This is quite an undertaking and just incredible that one can even own such old buildings. Like buying a bt of history. Have learned one thing...building in Europe is very different from the US! None of the stuff you;re doing applied to my home restoration. Very impressive that you know how to do masonry, steelwork, etc. along with all the labor intensive clean-up and can even safely limb and fell trees! Really look forward to seeing the progress!

Nice review of al your progress! I also loved the video you did for Stephanie. It was beautiful and such a nice gift to her.

Fantastic Even better when you put it all together We forget how far you’ve traveled There is going to be a once again beautiful chateau in amongst these trees ✊✊👍👍👍💕🕊️

So much passion, determination and love you radiate. Thank you Dan. You are truly a great inspiration for all of us...

man, this is way too good. Only a few people in the world can do things like this and you are one of them! keep up the good content together with the great restauration

150 days! What you have accomplished in this amount of time is totally amazing! It's been a blast watching your vlogs and I think I can speak for other viewers as well as myself, the next 150 will be just as exciting! Congrats Dan!!!🎉🎉🎉

It's only been 150 days?? What an amazing transformation in such a short time and with little help. Seeing the beekeeper taking out the bees, have you gotten any honey from him yet? Nick and Cameron have done an excellent job with the forest and cleaning up around the outside. And Calvin helping you muck out the first level. All that dirt and debris must have been daunting to say the least. 🍺😎🍺

Let's all hope the weather improves! Dan you are amazing, scary but amazing. And I remember when you were just repairing the odd roof and porch back on your farm project.

It’s been a fantastic journey so far and my daily watch has been a highlight. So far my most favourite things has been , cleaning out all the debris and watching Nick clear a restore the woods. You have a great team . You are amazing of what you have achieved so far. Looking forward to more, well done mate 🐨🥰

What you have accomplished in such a relatively short time is nothing but amazing. The chateau "feels" stronger, proud. It's really stunning. Watching that synopsis of the last 150 days with you on that wobbly scaffolding makes, no doubt all of us, breathe a sigh of relief that you have the new scaffolding. Your ability is never in question. Being safe is something else again. We want to see the chateau and you continue to rise. Very proud of you. Now please belt up or whatever is needed to be safe. Sorry to be a bit of a nag. That wobbly scaffolding was a bit breath catching. Congratulations on all you have accomplished. It's truly remarkable.

When you look back you have come along way Dan well done hard work and dedication great achievement cheers mate. 👍🇦🇺👍

Recaps like this are great because it show just how much has been done, and 150 days really isn't that long of a time! So kudos! ❤️

Simply awe inspiring Dan. Congratulations. 150 days have flown. Onwards and "upwards"!

Your personal achievements in only 150 days are absolutely awe inspiring. I truly believe no-one else would have had the stamina to get this far. Congratulations Dan.

You know I can see where this video can really help you when you tired and wondering if you did the right thing by buying this place. Just look back at how much you've accomplished. Great job Dan

So much progress, Dan the Man! We’re all really proud of you ❤ One goal at a time, you’re really bringing the chateau back to life!

Wow, what a transformation in 150 days. Great work, Dan.

I have watched all of these days and cannot believe how far you have come Dan. Says a lot for doing a bit each day, on top of that Vlog. So Well Done.

ONE MAN with a DREAM, wow just goes to show what can be done, all credit to you Dan and your helpers. ❤

Ooh! I really enjoyed that. Each step that came on I would think " oh this was my favorite bit!" Then another then another. In fact the whole thing is my favorite bit! Loved it, thank you!

Great summary of all the hard labors to get where you are today. I look forward to my daily updates on progress. When you put it all together, it moves quickly.

Chef, gardener, vlogger, drone pilot, videographer, substitute chatelaine, and restorer of chateaux . . . you truly are a renaissance man Dan.

The accomplishments are so real now. I can't believe it's been 150 day and so much done. Great job!

You are such a hardworking man, I applaud you! The progress you’ve made is incredible. This will become a very beautiful chateau, for sure. Its layout is so unique.

I can't believe it's been 150 days we've been rooting you on with all your hard work! You've done a fantastic job of giving that old lady a makeover. Love your videos!

Been an absolute joy to watch thus far. Can hardly wait for the next 150 days. Thank you for including us

Looking at the total picture in 12 minutes is an astounding statement of your work! BRAVO DAN! Even though I've seen each episode I watched this montage reliving each milestone (some of it was a bit frightful!). It is really impressive when viewed this way. You're on your way to a fantastic chateau! In a few years unknowing visitors will stop by and nonchalantly ask "did you have to do much?". I'd love to see your face then!
