Massive load of thanks to Nick and everyone else who has helped! And thanks to you, Dan, for saving the place.

Shout out to Axminster tools UK for supplying Dan with the equipment to help/speed the rebuilding along, everything changed when the tools arrived along with Nick & the others.

It’s an incredible dream, Dan. What you’ve achieved is amazing. Be proud. We can’t wait to see the next stage of the rebuild

[quidditchmum]

The Chateau’s progress has been awe inspiring but this channel is what it is because Dan is one of the funniest, most easygoing, most hardworking people I have ever encountered. You can’t fake this, he is the real deal. Thank you Dan.

[CenturyHomeProject]

This is truly a momentous occasion. People from around the world are celebrating with you.

Dan, I have followed your escapades from the start and now as I have just turned 90yrs old I would like to live long enough to see the finished product. No pressure on you now!!!!

[anniemadsen]

I think on behalf of a lot of people, I thank you for bringing us along on this wonderful journey and dream of yours.

You didnt give yourself enough credit.... you started alone, one shovel, one wheelbarrow with a flat tire. Your first lifting of bricks to help set the first hallway floor, you pulled them up in a plastic shopping bag... you are amazing. You are the man, dan !

[philtas]

And we are so grateful you took that risk and share the journey with us Dan. What a great team you have to support you there. Congratulations Team Chaumont!!

You’re not only a talented builder, but also a great narrator and film maker. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

You have kept us all glued for months now. What you have all achieved is nothing short of a miracle and I'm sure that it's captured all our imaginations and our attention. I for one will be continuing to watch the ongoing saga. It's been amazing and will continue to be so. Take care all.

France should award you a Medal for restoring it's treasure and respecting it's history and appreciating living in our beautiful landm❤

I know that I've mentioned on this channel many times that I am in awe of what you are doing and that I would never be able to learn the skills to do anything of this nature . . . . . . . . . BUT, I decided to challenge myself in just the smallest way possible as to not be overwhelmed. I've always wanted an outdoor bar in the backyard, so I went online, found PDF instructions on how to build one that I liked, purchased the wood and tools and saws necessary, and I actually built it!!! The instructions said it would take two days, but it actually took me three. But after staining and varnishing it, I've accessorized it in the Tiki style, and now I'm turning my outdoor gazebo into a mini Tiki bar. And I have you Dan, to thank for inspiring me to take a chance and try my hand, even in this small insignificant way. THANK

Glad to be here from days when this was only a dream. A great roll model for your boys' excellent friendships 👏 😊 Dan, Nic, Cameron, Calvin, Brian and all the people in the background aiding support, we celebrate you all 😊

I've been accused of trying to save some pretty run-down structures—I live in one, an old barn—but one look at the way the chateau was when I started watching, I just thought, "naw, bulldoze it." The whole place was an accident waiting to happen, I was sure I was going to witness the first suicide by chateau. What you've accomplished is nothing short of amazing. You're one of those guys who just somehow, magically, knows how to do stuff. I think a person is born with that. Thanks for a wild and fun ride!

[knelson]

I think the reality is that it has gotten easier but it’s been far from easy. You deserve so much recognition for what you’ve accomplished. Plus there were scores of episodes when it was just you, your two dogs and your two hands. Bravo.

[Erin_Wilson_Studios]

For the last few weeks, YouTube has been suggesting an old video of yours, during a really hard time. You were moving, your vehicle had broken down, and you were feeling pretty low.

To see what you've achieved... I'm so glad you didn't give up on your dream.

[PieterMink]

I have bought my dream 3, 5 years ago. A neglected 550 m2 France chateau.. Every day working on bathrooms, bedrooms and garden. Sometimes I'm tired when I wake up. And my place has floors, a staircase, water, electricity and a roof. What you are doing is amazing, I hope the fire will burn in you for a long time.

[SassyPieHole]

I remember seeing those first few shovels of dirt coming out making little impact and I remember thinking, na, they’ll never do this, they won’t even get it emptied.

I was wrong and I’m SO delighted that I was. Go Dan, go team, and go us. We’re 100% behind you.

All the way!

Yikes rewatching these scenes scares the life out of me all over again 😮😊 what an achievement Dan and Team. You've all worked miracles to get this far, and I'm quite sure the rest will be just as good, if not better. At this rate you'll be furniture and fittings shopping by Easter. Thank you for sharing your journey with the world, Dan. It's such a pleasure to support you. ❤🎉❤🎉❤
