NEXT ROOM restoration REVEALED! Château Restoration Progress #8

The roofers will be telling their grandchildren about the restoration of a lifetime.

I bloody love your channel! I don't know how it's possible to be proud of people you don't even know but I guess it's just heart-warming to see a couple of fellow Australians work so hard to retain an important piece of French history. Living vicariously through you is wonderful. ❤

I was thinking how obvious the new roof would be with the modern terracotta tiles, but it is very clever of them to put the old tiles on top so they have enough to repair the roof, but it will still look in keeping with the rest of the buildings. These guys are true artisans.

Wow, I am amazed at the scope and magnitude of the restoration of these buildings. Chateau de Purnon is lucky to have you as its custodians. The craftsmen working on these restorations are truly skilled. I am in awe.

What an amazing team of artisans saving Purnon. Thanks for sharing the history of this beautiful chateau 😍😘

The ribs of the roof are beautiful.

Thanks for introducing us to another of your wonderful artisans. They're clearly so proud of their work and so grateful for the opportunity to put their own mark on such an incredibly historic property. Madamoiselle Truffe seems to love keeping an eye on all your work! M&R

The artisans are wonderful!!

You have the most incredible artisans working on the chateau. You are so lucky to have them. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wow! If I came across as condescending, I certainly did not intend to and if my comment was taken that way, I apologize. There are hundreds of chateaux in France in need of restoration. I admire this lovely, young couple for taking on such a monumental project and for saving this treasure.

It’s so interesting seeing the roof and walls deconstructed and stripped back. There’s so much history beneath and makes you appreciate Purnon’s beauty all the more. Thank you for sharing this gem of a chateau and her past stories.. as well as yours!

Definitely the best French chateau restoration on Youtube. I feel like at least one of these beauties really is being care for in such a way that it will live on into the future. Well done.

All the chateau owners do the very best with what they have. Thankfully this couple are able to capitalise on their knowledge regarding shared community systems. The demands of heritage overlays can be onerous but not for this community minded couple that recognise the house will be there long after they have gone. The trades are a delight to witness.

Great to see how work is progressing ! Videos on a weekly basis is a real plus !! Purnon has been very lucky to have you ... Thank you

What a monumental task. France is so fortunate that you both have committed to Purnon and its restoration.

I can't express how much joy I feel watching this project!

A restoration like this also allows the artisans to 'practice' their skills, without work as detailed as this, how could they hone their skills. I bet they are are loving it.

It’s still so trippy to see the restored sections of the roof as they mostly would have looked when brand new (though now with improved protective elements for further longevity). My brain protests because it can’t help but associate old with the inadvertent degradation over time. Such brilliant work you’re doing to restore our past. Making it more real and near with every polished corner. And now I know the original purpose for hessian backings. And if a project this grand in scale can get done in three months, then imagine the amount of time my own life goals can be accomplished!

Watching you removing the wallpaper I am astounded by your patience, preservation, and dedication to the job at hand. Amazing I am in awe

It is just fascinating to watch those amazing artisans. They are so impressive-Purnon was and will be again a true masterpiece! Thank you so much for sharing all the discoveries along your journey.
