Week 4 is here and I feel like we are finally heading into the right direction. My items are still in transit, still no electricity in the #chateau, but I think the apartment number 1 will be finished within a month.
Also, we scored some incredible things at the #brocante, including #furniture . Some of the items are still scheduled to arrive today.

Just nice rug. The floors are part of character. Keep up the hard work.

I just found your videos and I can’t stop watching. I watch lots of Chateau videos. I love them all, including yours. Your Chateau is one of the most beautiful. So fun to watch. Be you!

I think this stone floor at 7:32 is a typical floor used in the top floors of French chateaus, intended as fire protection 🤔

Please don’t worry about the electric wall brackets…get an electrician to rewire then they will be safe…much much safer than candle s

I love the furniture, the Brocante's have so much stuff to offer. The wall sconces are really nice as well. I am a little confused, is the apartment you're in, in the Chateau, or off the property. Sorry. I love hot air balloons; they were very pretty. The zoo looked like a lovely day out. Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I did not make it clear in the video. We have a couple of apartments in one of the outbuildings and are trying to renovate one of them. The plan was to start the Chateau renovation but since there is no electricity at the moment at the Chateau, we decided to renovate the apartment. Thanks for watching!

Better than a screwdriver for scraping is a small spatula for plaster in French Spatule de Platre/enduit...pronounced Spat-Yule poor plah-tre... You can put dish soap or WD40 on the stairs, just under the step where the down board touches it and between the two bears on each step, then clean to take the slippery stuff off the steps...also nail the boards as well with fine nails at the sides, that is what I do on parquet that squeaks... Xyloprene at the hardwood store for the wood worms..sand down the bugget and apply two coats inside and out... What day was little person's birthday??? I'm the 19th, LEO's are the BEST!!!

I did use that spatula. It worked on some but not all of the residue. Xyloprene is on my list of things today. I forgot about WD40. We used to use in a lot in our house in the US. His birthday was on the 20! Happy belated birthday!

Just paint your shelves in cupboard with white Matt paint it will put the finishing touches to a lovely cupboard I know all these tricks I brought up my family on my own after a nasty divorce many years ago so I had to learn

You might want to rethink those wall candles-old house burns fast. And you’ll want to use those electric wall lights to be turned on.

If all your videos are going to be voice over you will lose a lot of the connection with people. I would suggest you watch The Pethericks (Chateau and Convent owner) Escape to the dream, Chateau Love, Dreaming of a Chateau with help planning your content. It's kind of all over the place jumping here and there. People will want to see you doing projects, even hanging a lamp. There is a huge body of people who will follow but they need content. I say this wishing you the best. We would all enjoy another good chateau vlog.

Thank you so much for your advice but I will be staying anonymous for now. Yes, I realize most people like the ‘reality show’ format, I am simply documenting as I go. I do appreciate your input though.

Voice over is fine as she gets started. You may not watch but plenty of others will.
THE big cleanup. How I removed over 40 years of shrubs and ivy’s in 1 week.
