Rebuilding a RUIN and its ROOF in 300 days.

Who else feels incredibly privileged to have been on this journey with Dan? 300 days and so much progress. I am in awe of what you have achieved so far. There is such a feel-good factor to watching the château and its grounds come back to life and to see Dan and his friends working together as stewards of this incredible project. I feel so proud of you all. Thanks for all the videos that let us share your adventure and here's to all those yet to come . ❤❤❤

I’d like to thank you. Your videos have been a bright spot in a really rough year for me. My husband of 45 years ( sweethearts for 3 years prior to marriage) passed away in January last year. Your work on the chateau gave me something to look forward to. You’ve made yourself a popular YouTube channel, living and home but you’ve also helped pull this old woman through a dark space. I look forward to future work and will be a fan forever. Thanks

This video is great for people who just started watching these videos with you. Although it does show some of the struggles you’ve had it does not show the blood, sweat and tears you have put into this building. It does not show the long days, long nights, bad weather and even beehives you’ve to deal with. When you show it like this I can’t believe you have come this far. Great job Dan. Before you know it you will be inviting Stephanie and Philip to a proper dinner party.

I am just a lady in the USA but I find myself just in awe of this chateau renovation!! Way to go Dan!! You should be very proud of this miraculous achievement!! You have come so far in just 300 days!! Congratulations!! Your friends nick, Calvin, Cameron are to be commended for their hard work!! I enjoy watching you all!!

I did a deep dive research on this chateau and Danny. I discovered something that truly amazed me. No, it’s not Coco Chanel’s indirect relationship to the chateau, but rather something much more culturally significant. One of the rescued Jewish children that found refuge in the chateau moved to the United States after the war. Once he arrived in the USA he changed his name … from Wulf Wolodi Grajonca to Bill Graham. Bill Graham went on to become the most famous promoter in rock and roll history. He was instrumental in the 1967 Haight Ashbury Summer of Love, promoting the Jefferson Airplane, the Grateful Dead and many more. His concerts at the Fillmore and the Wonderland Theatres are legendary, featuring all of the greatest bands in rock history. His mother died in Auschwitz. He escaped the Nazis … in Chateau du Chaumont. Rock on Danny, Nick, Cameron and Calvin. You’re part of rock and roll history.

Thank you Nick for helping Dan. And thank you Dan for giving us so much pleasure and pride in all you’ve achieved ❤

My father was a carpenter and I went to help him every day after school. I remember how my hands hurt after handling heavy wood and sawing and hammering nails. I watch the work you have done with great respect and am impressed by your strength and purpose. Congratulations. We will see this complete and beautiful castle in the coming years. Your team also deserves congratulations.

Dan...You are super human in my eyes. .You know or learn all the things necessary to rebuild this Chateau but are so cheerful, determined and hard working its unbelievable...PLUS YOU SET UP A CAMERA PHOTOGRAPH ARTISTICALLY, INTERESTINGLY AND EDIT YOUR VIDEOS !!! ...SUPER HUMAN ....!!!!!!!!

So you didn't chill out completely! You spent every waking hour editing 300 days of video clips. Brilliant 🎉. Now we have that all important record which highlights your achievements and those unsung heroes of Nick & Calvin. Thanks Dan.

That lift, called a 'materials lift' in the U.S., has been a godsend companion/tool for you to accomplish the herculean renovation you've done mostly by yourself over 300 days! I am awed by your talent and strength and perseverance. Over Christmas I found out my younger brother has also been avidly watching your channel for over a year.

.. and that my friends, is how you keep 437k people entertained :) I've had a membrane-on-roof toast in your honour Dan - and of course for the legendary Nick, Cameron and Orange Pants Man :) It's a privilege to share your journey with you - you should be so proud of what you have achieved in 300 days ... it's incredible to watch you breathe life back into this beautiful chateau. You've mastered the abseiling too !! :) Cheers from NZ

I thought I’d wait up for this one. It’s been a LONG week … But in the end I had to give up. Thanks for the recap ❤‼️ Any new viewers should really go back and watch all the fun bits around the actual building process, exposing the tiled bottom floor and clearing out full grown trees, moving in at site (in a tent to begin with), the dog puppies and the jurta, planting beginning of a park, etc. It’s all been great and a blessing every evening. Something to look forward to during this bleak year, so thanks❣️

So glad Nick is there for support!

What a beautiful recap of all that's been achieved in less than a year. I love that you included the bits of narration, a lovely reminder of past episodes... plus it makes the process so much more accessible for new viewers. Interesting shots and really good editing makes your work stand out. What a difference to the usually boring 1-camera angle time lapses you often see on other renovation channels. Thank you Dan.

I'm thankful to have been allowed to catch a ride along with everyone to watch Dan an friends rebuild a pile of dirt an brick's of yesterday in to a home for tomorrow. Thank u Dan an friends. This is a great ride.

Every day he does a video I feel privileged to watch. The skills he has and all the people that help him. Looking forward to seeing all the progress every day.

It is almost Spring, nearly Easter. A time of rebirth, and in just 300 days, the Chateau is coming back to life. Simply amazing vision, Dan, and persistent work through all challenges. YOU are amazing and God Bless you and your friends.

I’ve been with you since day 1 and before. I’ve lost count of how many levels you’ve done. I’m in my dotage now and you give me so much to look forward to. You are a great example to the human race. The best example to everyone. You’ve certainly made a difference to my life. X

Phoenix is rising from the ashes. Congratulations on this milestone. You and your team have done a most admirable job.!!!

My boyfriend and I watch you every time you post your videos and we are never disappointed!!! Congratulations on this huge accomplishment and it’s truly a pleasure to watch you create your dream!!! Watching from Southern California 😎
