Loving the music 🎉 great job on the roof xxx
Tony’s such a gem what a great job on the roof. Love your use of the tractor it’s very satisfying watching you remove that awful bramble. It would take days physically doing it yourself. That’s a fantastic piece of machinery
So good to have the chapel roof repairs done! So kind of Tony to help. Your tractor is a godsend for clearing brambles (almost looked like fun, hehe). So many projects on the go, and you really seem to thrive on that! We're having lots of rain now, so I understand your similar situation. A good time to get inside projects done.
Dealing with gutters, flashing, slate roofing, water drips are so difficult and finicky. How you had to contort your bodies to do the work is not easy …you were both impressive. Thanks for letting us see the process.
Bramblecam was very satisfying!
Hi Patrick and Stuart, What would you do without Tony? The man is a walking, breathing treasure and a wealth of knowledge regarding repairing and maintaining the Chateau. We are currently working with a contractor with the skills and expertise to deliver exceptional results. If we buy in France, he is coming with us, that's for sure. Mark & Scott
Mighty Patrick against the brambles ! The hero !🎉🎉🎉
Is bramble the same as blackberry? All those delicious fruits 😋
Great that the chapel is now dry and just in time too with all that rain. Renovation of the new suite is exciting but realistically that will take some time and it’s important it’s right so no rush. ❤ to you both
Hi guys sorry I missed the live, I’ve been sooo busy lately 🙈😩 which I suppose is a good thing 😂!! That clock is fabulous 😍 oh wow I bet you are sooo relieved to get that done !! What a fab job!! Ohhh wow that’s rain!! 😂 and yey no water ingress 🙌🏼…. Brambles are horrible to get rid of, I got goats to eat mine 🤣🤣 … not always a good idea though 🤣🤣 love the background music …. Did make me giggle 🤭 I can see you are on a proper mission Patrick …. Great work!!! Love to you both ❤️
Wow, you guys got the leak fixed just in time. Thank goodness for that one nice day. What rain you have had. We sure could use some here. That is one nice tractor you have. It would have been horrendous removing all that growth without it. Your pretty handy on it also Patrick 😊 😍
Great work guys with the chapel roof, that must have been so satisfying work with the brambles Patrick. Another enjoyable video.
It was so satisfying to watch you bring down the brambles, the machinery was perfect.
Hi sweeties. Tony is really the best man for solving the leakage of the Chapel Roof. I'm so glad to hear that there is no water coming through the roof anymore. Now, the work on the inside can start.
I'm sorry to hear that it's raining so much. Here it's a little stormy, but no rain. The temperature at the Chateau is better than here. Hope you have received good news from the vet. Have a nice evening. Hugs and kisses also for the furries and Figaro. 😘🥰🐕🐈
Sounds like France got the last of the hurricanes that hit Florida and N Carolina so hard.
I so wish the bucket on our tractor had that top grip on it allowing the bucket to act as a thumb! I have not seen that feature here in the States.
Maybe eventually build a cricket between the chateau and the chapel to help shed the water? I don’t know that that would be historically accurate but a thought. Finally, I did make my donation for the chapel. I am hoping it went through. It flagged as fraud. I called the bank and explained. Fingers crossed!
Great job on the roof. It looked scary on the ladder. Brambles are horrible and endless. Glad you had the tractor to assist you!
Good to have Tony to rescue the problems and the Brambles very bad hard job to remove but always a few challenges the weather un predictable nice to see you both take care
Is it just me or does anyone else think it was brambles surrounding Sleeping Beauty's castle?
I love your videos so much. Thank you for doing them. I'm glad the chapel is now staying dry. But can you send some of that rain to Southern California, USA? 🤣💕
Is there any chance you can get a minipel in to dig the bramble roots out? Otherwise it will be a never ending nightmare. They are an ongoing problem in my garden too, but on a much smaller scale.
You do have to wonder what they were thinking all those years ago when they put the chapel against the main building like that. Valley gutters – urgghhhh! Thank you for people like Tony😊😊😊
The horror movie music as Patrick cleared the brambles cracked me up. Although I suppose that giant claw WAS their worse nightmare incarnate for the poor brambles who had worked so hard to grow big and strong this summer!
