While Dan talked about how the chateau was expanding in "feel" with each floor completion, my thoughts went back to the weeks where he was staying at an AirBnB that he couldn't even stand up straight in, when he was technically homeless for a bit.

😂 Not just one BnB, he was homeless at one time until he bought the Chateau and got the Yurt to live in. Dan has come a long way since SHE cheated on him and he had to leave the home he remodeled from scratch. That kitchen he built was beautiful! He even did a cooking show a couple of times in his remodeled kitchen and catered a few dinner parties at Chateau La Lande. I felt so bad for him, he even had to leave Stephanies Chateau! Well, our Dan has come a long way and has his own Chateau De Chamont that he will never have to leave.

Now you know that you will have mains water, it may be the time to think about placing piping to allow for the installation of a fire sprinkler system. Nobody could bear the thought of the chateau catching fire again! Much easier to install the piping before everything is closed up.

@elebelle51 Ай бұрын

Even though you'll have the water connection, I imagine you'll also put in a rain water recuperation system from your roof when you finish that. Not just because rain water is better for the garden but also for your things like the laundry and toilets, where drinking water is not required.

@SuzyQ-qc5zn Ай бұрын

I agree. Nick could half bury a two story one. The amount of rain from this roof would fill it probably after 2 good rain events. It could be used for all sorts of projects, indoor or outdoor.

Old utility maps are notoriously inaccurate. Before retirement, I worked for a utility company in the states and we had to do that 'treasure hunt locating' all the time, even when we knew the pipe was there somewhere. Given that the mains in the past were probably cast iron, which has a max life span of 100 years under perfect conditions and probably went in between the Wars, they would be ready to be replaced soon even if you knew precisely where they were, so it's probably for the best to put in new at this point.
