I love the area by the pump house. Looks beautiful.

Plaster removal amazing.

Cool birdfeeder might just pick oe up.

I love your channel. I'm living vicariously through you because you are doing what I wish I could be doing. Your videos bring me such pleasure and peace. I hope you will continue. God bless you and Lincoln and your cute furry friends. I was particularly impressed in this video with the kitty climbing up and down the ladder ;)

They should be an assiocition around you

Dennis from New Orleans again ..your introductions absolutely kill me. 😂

Hi: Can you comment on the decision to place the new beams directly on the lintels of the door and window? This makes me feel like a lot of weight will be concentrated on a less than entirely strong surface. I know nothing about building but this stood out for me. Also, I like the idea of returning the downstairs fireplace to it's original size. But you can insert a woodburner in the middle and have the size of the fireplace be huge. I think it would make a statement - even if it took up a little extra room. Thank you, DA

I watch you all the time and one show you spoke of continuing your show. I have been subscribed for a very long time but I checked this morning and I no longer was. I quickly resubscribed. How can this happen?

Could you remind us why you are restoring the cottage and its kitchen before you complete the renovation of the kitchen in the chateau? I would like to reiterate how much I enjoy your channel. Your narration and discussions are so well done, with irony, good humor and taste. Well done, really well done. Thank you.

Greetings…Dennis Briley from New Orleans, Louisiana. You two are absolutely outstanding. I have been viewing your channel from the beginning. This introduction is so funny…I almost peed myself. I’m a 62 year old gay man and I can speak for many that you two are wonderful. I look forward to the next.

I'm loving your videos and look forward to seeing them each week. You have such a unique way of storytelling. The visuals, music and humor are fantastic. I also find your videos meditative at times, inspiring, as well as informative. Thanks for sharing!

Is it possible that the original huge fireplace was part of an exterior kitchen? A summer kitchen?

Beautiful! Liz

Washingmachines in the kitchen is more of a brittish thing. I don't know if it's in more countries. Not in the Netherlands.....love the grey on your outbuildings.

Thank you for another peaceful video, I’m looking forward to seeing the restoration of this cottage. A lot of hard work but it will be worth it. Glad to see shadow is ok and seems to be staying. I appreciate your kindness to all animals.

One can always hold out hope for treasure! This really has become an enormous job. It will be beautiful when you’re done. Rooting for you to keep your spirits up through the process!

Ay yi yi! So much soot in that fireplace!!! Good thing you looked and took down the loose brick. It also looks like they had a stove of some sort patched into it (that round spot). IDK what you have planned, but I'd put in wood stoves on both floors and run the pipe up as straight as possible. When they messed with the original design I'm betting they never got a decent draught for the fireplace. It is fantastic to see Shadow well and playing with the donkeys. They need so little in life. I'm sure he'll hang around, especially since you are feeding him and he knows it is safe at the chateau. Lincoln will have quite a bit of beam and noggin work to do while you are gone, Amanda. Or, maybe he'll sit with the donkeys and have a beer, and show the cats how to view the Birdfy. 🤞Wishing you all health and safe travels!

The word you were looking for to describe Lincoln, instead of precise is "anal".

3:24 Great little spot for storing the patio furniture, flower pots, ... through the winter! Being able to store things close to where they are used is a real convenience. Besides, with a little roof on it, it will be quaint as well.

Thanks, enjoyed another video and nice to see shadow is moving a bit closer to the Chateau! Must be the good food and company!

Love the kitty shots

Excellent, I am inspired each time I watch an episode, thank you

The "cabin" will be beautiful. Because the wall is flush and the fireplace is shallow I wonder if you have a Count Rumford esq. fireplace? Please wear hard hats.

By the time you have finished the cottage one of your children will want to move into it 😂

Hello. For centuries a layer of earth or clay was used as a weight on upstairs floors. This meant that the walls on each side of this floor was pulled inwards for stability. Don't mock it. It works. I know a student in Correze who worked on 16 century buildings that had used this tactic. Other restorershave found the same layers of earth on upper floors. Research it. Good luck. Judy

I would love to hear a history of all the animals. Maybe you’ve already put that video out. I’m behind and have been binge watching to catch up to current. I only found your channel a few months back so I started from the beginning. I love this…. these videos that you do. ❤

8:30 I had one interior stone wall I left exposed as well, after repointing it with a lime mortar. 14:5 Yes, I wouldn't be surprised if it had been a bigger fireplace, used for cooking, perhaps including a bread oven. And then later it was reduced down to a size just used for heating, with more modern cooking facilities elsewhere.

I love this channel!

12 months later, I wonder if you still read comments? If so, could you please tell me the music accompanying your Paris trip. Loving each and every minute of your extraordinary life, those delightful pets, that fabulous chateau and your impeccable taste. In another vlog, blog ( what are they called?) I queried the possibility of I, 2 cats, 1 dog moving in. Clearly you’ve been too busy to have read same as I’m certain there would have been an invitation by return email. 🤔 Carol, Maude (dog) Trevor and Kevin (cats) living in hope In Australia🙏🇦🇺🇫🇷

Amanda, you’re an extraordinary cinematographer 🏆

Not terribly fun to spend time and money on essentials like tree trimming and walls - but what acts of stewardship for the chateau property and future generations. Walled gardens are works of art - thank you for your efforts to keep this incredible work whole.

I was so happy to see shadow & I saw shadow seeing you ❤ Also my love for your donkeys is very strong. I wondering if you saw the story of the “rescued” wild burro in (I think) AZ who then escaped & just recently was seen a few years after his escape leading a pack of antelope (though I don’t know what kind is in AZ?) but I do know he was leading the pack - because as you know donkeys are fierce guardian animals and they will viciously attack even mountain lions, wild boar & bears. They are relentless & they have a photographic memory apparently. What has been perceived as stubborn is just smarts! Anyway - wild burros & wild horses in the States are under terrible threat from the BLM - it’s easy to read about it on Sky Dog Sanctuary there is a huge cobalt deposit right where the horses are wuddunt cha know - ya know the stuff we use in our phones and computers? And all of a sudden “horses are a huge threat” 🤔😳 weird

Digger man is genius I would cry at the state of the barn 😂 Think you need to go high end in case you need to sell to get some dosh back 😮

Birdfy is very cool ~ keeps Lincoln happy with all those T-ts! LOL

You guys have hired an amazing worker ~ he knows what he's doing & works hard.... it will be an amazing cottage !

When I had it, I was told I was contagious for five to ten days. After that, if you're fever is gone you can still test positive for up to 90 days.

Such a great job you guys do! 🖤I'm married to a "Lincoln" - precise in everything, but particularly during renovating. Over 35 years, it's driven me a little nuts at times, but his finicky ways are so worth it!

I don’t know anything about how old the bathtub is but it sure would look pretty with lots of flowers growing in it 🌸🌺🌷

Getting it done guys 👏👏👍

I feel like he should have a HARD HAT on. He makes me nervous without one on.

I know it probably doesn't feel like it to you, but the cottage is coming along nicely. You all are doing it right and that's what counts. You are conscientious stewards of this historic property and that is amazing. nice to see shadow bouncing around outside. wish he would join your herd inside but realize sometimes it's just not what the kitty wants. viewership is rising !! :)

Beautiful channel thanks

The amount of sweat equity that I have observed on UA-cam in the content from people who are restoring château is immense. One of the shows escaped to rural France is about a restoration of a burned out hulk. The amount of knowledge and effort in the work is immense. It is definitely not for the faint of heart. I hope you can keep your motivation and your economics working as you go through executing your plans. I imagine the cottage restoration is something you may use to generate income. Good luck.

Lovely, just lovely

You and your daughter should write a children’s book about your château cats. And instead of illustrations, you should add pictures that you have taken of all the cats. IMO this would get published immediately! 😊

That is the first time I've seen a digger used to remove the plaster off a wall. Creative thinking there!

Well, if you are going to do something, do it right! You are doing so in the cottage; it might be a lot more unexpected work, but knowing you two it will be beautiful when you are done!

Amazing work! Who is the gentleman helping? He is so talented getting that huge beam in place! Great video… love your channel!
