You should restore that barn for weddings. It looks like you could hold the ceremony and the reception in there. My son and his wife recently married in a barn very similar to that, here in England, and it was beautiful, a very natural setting. The bridal party could stay in your chateau.
Great idea!
I thought the same thing. I agree. Great idea.
Was thinking the same thing!
Good $ in that as well. Venues are so expensive nowadays.
and there is still gonna be some space for a atelier, as far as I can estimate the barn ;)
Nathan's guest appearances are always FABULOUS.
I find myself repeating the French lessons aloud with them. C'est trés bon.
@@thornyback Lol. As do I.
"I have a strong urge to buy a Microsoft product." Phillip is killing it with the dad jokes.
I read the comments before watching the video, then almost wet my pants when I watched and heard the comment!😂🤣
I think Phillip has heard the conspiracy theory 😂😂
That was good!!
Yep a guy at my gym is convinced (from robust rumors on the internet) that the vaccine (even though there are multiple versions?) was created by Bill Gates in conjunction with China to convert us to trans-humans, "influence" the world population to create authoritarian control, reduce the impact of climate change and get us to buy more Microsoft products - I think that is the rumor more or less? (I have had to listen to it a few times and changes each time a bit). Phillip and Anna obviously disprove this theory via contradiction though because after the second vaccination he goes back to cutting down trees, painting with the wrong monster truck paint and using pesticides almost immediately and rejecting Chinese made lights. Although the spouse / children spy drone is a little authoritarian.....
@@richardisted3703 the watch drone is comic relief. It’s pretty funny.
literally choked on “small mistake with huge consequences”
not the fREAKING TERRENCE MALICK OF THE WASTE PIPE TUTORIALS
Me too 🤣🤣🤣
LOL that was hysterical
Me too
I burst out laughing on the bus, got a few funny looks!
Haha love the spouse watch, “go away!” = “I love you” 🙄🤣
Phillip, that's not true, everyone makes mistakes. I'm really impressed how you always find a solution for your problems.
Philip, you are not an idiot. Everyone makes mistakes!
Thank you, very kind!
😁😁😁
If you use a “warm” lower wattage bulb in the Art Deco lights, the detail of the lights will show up better.
Phillip, you are turning into a Grand Master of landscape design. Do not let technical imperfections of silly machinery stand on your way to glory. Beautiful Anna reminds me of Cinderella working hard around the chateau. You both are so funny and adorable. Love watching you guys. Oh, and I can see the musical concerts in your gorgeous barn.
I thought the same about their division of labor.
A little German over here enjoying the little German phrases here and there hehe
“The little Anna in my head was right.”
“I have a strange urge to buy a Microsoft product” 🤣😂😜❣️
I was looking for this comment!🤣
"Philipp that's not true, everybody makes mistakes, we're really impressed how you always find a solution to your problems"...I also want to thank you Philipp how you are always helpful in your suggestions for comments! 😂 Anna and you are so delightful...such a wonderful couple and family! Thank you for sharing so much, take really good care, stay safe! Much love Kathy x
The outbuilding should be converted to be used for weddings, it is utterly gorgeous.
Good idea !
It will cost more to restore the barn than it will ever make from charging for weddings and accomodations. I think churches are far better for weddings and almost always they have facilities for receptions.
You take you life in your hands with your proposal comment! Question to our readers: Who thinks Philip would be a riot at a party??? Especially if he was in charge of the weed, I mean wheat! Anna, the patience of a saint!
While you were joking about the pool, I do think that a spa/gym place might be a great addition. As long as your guests stay mostly multiple nights it would surely increase the attractiveness of your chateau
And don’t forget to leave room for the Lamborghini !!!!
the object of wood and steel where your wife turned the handle is an old Jack to jack up a heavy object in the building trade. The carpenter I worked as a boy in the Netherlands had one standing in the corner of the shop.
You (including the kids, Nathan, Benoit and cows and badgers) are my highlight on youtube. Soooo goood! If there was an award for best humour, you would definitely be the ones to deserve it.
Thanks a lot :)
Anna you paint like a true professional, which you are stunning creature. Can’t get enough of your vlogs, so amusing, delightful and beautifully filmed.
You are going to need the dog house, when Ana hears what you said about the consequences (laughing out loud). Nice job clearing the brush away from the outbuilding! Ana’s paint is so precise!
That barn has wedding venue written all over it.
Philip and Anna can't afford it.! Leave weddings to churches and either have a reception in a beautiful hotel facilities for weddings. What's so great about being married in a BARN? Not for me!.
Well, to the most important question of the day - An Aston Martin or a Lamborghini? Philipp, how is this even a question? The Lamborghini is an Italian brand that is owned by Audi, a German company. Basically it’s an Italian that speaks German, it may actually be related to you. Although I AM a bit worried about the Bull, last seen munching foliage on the edge of a road, Anna will want the Aston so you need to make your move now. Because of this channel, the funniest and most clever KZhead content I receive in a large herd of KZhead subscriptions, a stampede of other Chateau renovation channels by the Brits has now appeared at my digital door.
Phillip you are not an idiot, you are a comedian👏🏽
Wouldn't it be great to be able to be able to travel back in time to see these buildings when they were first built. A big thank you from the U.S. for this completely enjoyable tour through this beautiful old building Philip and Anna.
That bull has the most amazing face! Quite a character; doesn't seem aggressive.
I "Like" your videos before I've even seen them. Because I know (without a doubt) it will be another excellent and entertaining Vlog!!!
Me too….I always press 👍 as I know it will be so entertaining 😊
Me too.
Me too!!!
It’s actually not so great for algorithm purposes - I read somewhere. It would help the videos more to like them a few minutes in :-)
@@leouchiha1539 good to know. Now just have to remember that.
I wonder if there’s a way of making those Art Deco lights into pendants? I’m not an electrician so I have no clue what that would require on the wiring part but that would look great with the tall ceilings… plus then they would have a little something in common with Philip’s choice
That is a great idea!🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋
I agree 💡
I'm dying here. lolol Those of us in the US totally got the joke about wanting to buy a Microsoft product after the vaccine shot. That was a really good "smart joke" Phillip. lol That's a really cool barn now that you can see it. LOVE the "spy cam" lol OMG........the interaction between Nathan and Phillip is priceless. lol Enjoyed seeing all the items in barns. Phillip did it again....."What's the difference between Weed and Wheat". ha ha ha Have a wonderful week you two. PS....I can't believe how many subscribers you have already. I bet you will hit 100K to get your KZhead Plaque by your Vlog Anniversary date.
Not just in the US m'dear! Graphene Oxide!
Glad you enjoy the vlogs!
I’m so not understanding re the Microsoft joke - please explain 😆
@@goldenineke bill gates, founder of microsoft pumped a load of $ into the vaccine program in the US, conspiracy theorists out there believe he had a hidden agenda like he had some tech in the vaccine to control our minds or something (or buy his products as Phillip jokes).
@@TubsFreehandDigitalArt oh my goodness- that’s classic! Thanks for explaining it.
Watching these videos as a bilingual english/german speaker always cracks me up, the sighs when we can't come up with the exact word we have in mind is very relatable!
Such a wonderful trip down memory lane for me! We 4 heirs own an early 18th century homestead, our Grandparents farm near Berlin, Germany. We are keeping it as a family retreat. The outbuildings are built the same way. However it was former Eastern Germany so unfortunately there were no materials to secure them. But the old farm implements are still in the barn. The machine to separate the wheat from the chaff. My Opa used the Schleifstein to sharpen his scythes and Omi’s kitchen knifes for butchering the hog. The butcher came every fall, killed the animal. Us kids were right there marveling in the gruesome thrill! And watching Omi and the aunts turning it all into incredibly delicious foods. Nothing was wasted. Blutwurst, Sülze and all the delights of the whole hog! Thank you for the memories!
“The little Anna in my head was right,” 😂😂🤣
Am I the only one who is in love with the tub and the gold feet? I can already see multiple bathroom designs.💕
OMG I am dying laughing here in the Midwest USA. "Stupid trees do not deserve a scientific name." - Philip
From the Midwest also. Love this channel!
Wow! Phillip would have no finance issues if he could restore his "weed" store! Out buildings are fascinating to me. They hold the old discarded treasures.
I would absolutely host a wedding in that barn. It's enormous and the roof is so beautiful and romantic!
might need to lose the threshing machines first, though :)
Agreed! You could make it a beautiful hall/wedding venue. If budget permits you could have the unexplored other side as a separate kitchen/catering zone, with an upstairs atelier for Anna. The space is HUGE. It’s all loaded with great potential- including a pool house or maybe one day a space for an Aston Martin.
It will cost more to restore the barn than it will ever make from charging for weddings and accomodations. I think churches are far better for weddings and almost always they have facilities for receptions.
Philip's joke about an incontrollable urge to buy a Microsoft product after getting the 2nd Covid vaccine cracked me up! The wide angle lens and filming your beautiful Anna made me wonder if we could see some of your previous film work, Phillip?
The fact that he was worried about the bull getting hit just makes me like him more.
These wonderful partners are renovating this chateau with harmony, love, a sense of sophistication and unique taste.....
Love the Microsoft joke 😂😂😂
BIG HELLOOOO from North Berwick, East Lothian Scotland
Love N B
i watch from kirkcaldy scotland lol
"The Stupid Tree". LOL. You two are too cute. Your little family is adorable.
Phillip is so funny! He's a big reason I watch these videos.
As this is our Independence Day I thought it only fitting to thank the nation of France for their support and assistance in making that happen. Vive La France”!!!
The machine is called a 'Windfege' in German...it is indeed to separate grain from the chaff or husks. There are other similar machines that can separate various pulses like dry beans, peas and lentils sifting them through various meshes. I know, because my dad worked at a big museum for agriculture. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotationsworfelmaschine
Thanks! I came to the comments to see if anyone figured out what the machinery laying around was :))
I love hearing the birds in the background
That barn could be a great banquet area. Rustic yet grand.
Phillip has never seen a ladder he wouldn’t climb!
The fact that you have painted the chateau by hand with steady hands and focus is astounding. Room after room. I love your story and keeping up with your updates 💛
I agree with you about sycamore trees Philip - we nicknamed them 'stickamores' as they would always leave that horrible sap all over our cars when we parked underneath one.
Phillips so funny with his little jokes and humour. It’s very interesting seeing the old barn... Thanks to you both..
OMG!! Is that a hydrangea bush? I have never seen one that big!! And it is blue how Beautiful!!
I enjoy watching these vlogs as much as I would enjoy going to a movie. In fact more because most movies now are insanely violent and dark. Anna and Phillip and their sweet, funny antics. Their relationship so precious. It makes me happy to watch them renovate their Chateau. I look forward to Sundays so I can watch the latest episode in their saga. Thank you so much for lifting the viewers up. 💖
I lost it "weed store" lol
Anna, the shade of green paint in hallway is gorgeous 😍. Hope you were feeling better soonest🦬 Philip🙏..your footage is amusing and intriguing 😄thankyou 😊
It’s a threshing machine I think, separates the wheat from the chaff. When traction engines came in powered by steam they put an end to these. The engine would tour farms.
From Waco, Texas: you must create a museum of all these old tools and machines.
"I'm probably just a stronger organism," cracks me up good 😂
Oh my... Anna really has a steady hand 16:21
Surveillance cam was epic!
I love Philip's captions during the Spouse Watch segment 😂😂😂
I watch several vlogs about chateaus but this one has to be my favorite. Always a laugh!
You restore that barn you'll be asked to rent out for community events and weddings. It's beautiful!
Love Phillip’s humor. Hilarious!!!!
Your Chateau Restoration is my favorite to watch. Truly you make it a joy to watch. I can so relate to clearing land , painting, repairing things. Even handling livestock. I was glad the bull was gentle...stubborn yet gentle.
My Sunday is not complete until I watch your video. You two always make me laugh!
The barn should be a wedding venue indeed.
))) good for you! "the little Anna in my head" ( tears of laughter streaming here....)
I always miss the premiers! I’d love to see one of Philip’s documentaries. The barn is amazing. It will be so beautiful if it is ever renovated.
I so love your personalities ❤❤❤. All three of you! Not only everything is beautiful, but the entire episodes are funny and hilarious. I think I can picture how much fun the girls have with Philip and so love how you listen to him and the expressions on your face! Music is also a perfect background. Awesome job! 👍😊❤
That barn that was so covered in trees and bushes is amazing. They should keep it for garden tools and machinery, chickens and ducks. Have your own fresh eggs.
will never be bored Anna with the occurrences of Phillipp
Good thing you are funny Philip, Anna's a saint.
Enjoyed the whole video!!! Phillip you and your family are so talented, the property outside, the lawns, the inside Anna is gorgeousssss!!! The cows had me laughing, I am so thankful you all are on KZhead!!!
The little Anna in my head was right!! Ha. Love it.
To reuse stones in new buildings is a usual procedure - in German we say „Spolien“ (particularly if the stones are decorative). Interesting barn-building, a lot of options!
Yeah it’s Sunday night and it’s giggle time with Philip! As usual you didn’t disappoint, really interesting about the out building. The bovine watch and stubborn 🐮 shows Phillips true farming skills ….. not! 🤣🤣🤣🙄🙄 keep up the clever filming skills, clearly not wasted as a day job 🤣🤣🤣
My my Phillip you are becoming quite a artisan lol You and Anna have cheered me uo know end after visiting my poor dad in hospital. You make me forget all my worries Merci to you both you a breathe of fresh air . Love watching and of course the French lesson lol
Glad you enjoyed!
@@HowToRenovateAChateau but of course
Hysterical - when you said the little Anna in my head - was right.
I never knew that "Toilet Paper" lights existed. Philip is a genius with that saw.Just like Disney's "Sleeping Beauty", when Prince Philip uses his sword to cut through all the growth to get to Princess Aurora!! Our hero!!! I love all the "Watch" surveillance cams!!!!! Love the "Bull"!!!! Love Nathan's "spontaneous" responses!!! The outbuilding is awesome!! Really gorgeous!!! Excellent ideas for the building.Please make steps instead of ladders to get into the pool.Also,could we make space for a MGB along with the Astin martin? My Dad had a red one when I was little.Love from Vermont
Love the tour and history. You are the best at providing vlogs with wonderful regularity.
Anna paints with a professional's finesse!
I love the red Ferrari shredder, Phillipp. It must work really well for shredding large parmesan rinds, one at a time. Love the videos!
I love your humor 😂👍🏽 especially when you talk about asking Anna to marry you 🤣🤣👍🏽😆 good one 😉
As an American, when I hear Chateau, I think GLAM! Therefore IMO, all ceiling lighting should be crystal chandeliers 😍 On the tree section, I kept thinking to save the largest ends of the trees for your fireplaces! And “little Anna” in Philip’s head made me laugh out loud! 😆😂🤣😅
With all these trees being cleared you will need to get a stump grinder- I’m sure you don’t need much of an excuse to acquire more essential equipment !
sounds very sexy, but will be hard to negotiate with the women!
@@HowToRenovateAChateauand a small tractor with a loader! We have one (in the city with less of half an acre of land) and my husband uses it for lots of things like moving heavy stuff from the truck to the back yard. I said no for a few years then we needed to do some work next to the house because the ground was sloping to the house and causing water to come in the basement and then I said yes and it's been essential when we do yard work and heavy lifting
You’re my hero Philip.
That's very flattering.
Another absolutely great vlog! Just the right balance of humor, restoration, gardening and miscellaneous segments. The electronic surveillance is one of my favorites and of course the French lessons w/Nathan. You are both so talented and interesting to watch. Your channel and Escape to Rural France (Dan the gardener) are, by far, the best out there. Maine USA
Glad you enjoyed it!
The wood that stands up & down are called posts. The wood that runs across are called beams. The construction of this type is called Post & Beam . . . I really enjoy all your videos, I watch them over and over, I'm house bound and you entertain me.
LOVE the "surveillance" videos!
"Phillip, that's not true!" Everyone makes mistakes. I'm impressed by how you always find an answer to your problems!
As a recently graduadet architecture student with a flair for old wooden structures I would LOVE to visit the chateau and make some plans for the renovation of the old barn! 😍
Why don’t you turn the old barn into an event space so you could host weddings or conferences or parties…
I think using antique lights as long as it’s wired safely are very attractive! You go Phillip and uncovering the barn. My husband has a red shredder and loves using his too! At least you wear your safety gear!
Philip, you make me laugh so much, I adore your sense of humor 🤍
Philip, that baby bull is too interested in food to follow instructions. Well done solving the shredder problem.
That "mechanism" you found is for the shutters! It's a huge find. It's how they used to open and close all the shutters without having to do it one by one.
Thanks for the tip, do you know how that would work?
That was fun 😄and Is interesting. God-bless your family and keep safe
Thank you!
L’humour britannique j’adore
Beautiful barn! My suggestion, make it a venue for weddings or music events or meetings . That Art Deco table deserves restauración 👍🏼 Ana great job with your hall and good choice with the lamps ! I Love those hydrangeas! Excellent film angles !!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
That outbuilding would be perfect to host big events like weddings etc.!
