Fitting The Lost Gates At The Château. Ep19
Hello everyone, this week at the chateau.
We fit the second entrance gates to the chateau, driving down the 200 meter tree lined drive you approach the huge pillars but lost of there beautiful iron gates. Hidden away in all the over growth for over 40 years, its was a fantastic discovery when we uncovered them early this year.
while hiring a digger to help with the front landscaping of the chateau and to save Tracys back, we through it is a great time to use the digger to help with reinstating the huge iron gate, not a easy task, but with some help from some friends we got the job done and what a fantastic job to do.
Tracy has been busy clearing the walled garden ready for our first chateau party, all traces hard work will be in next weeks videos, so don't miss it 😁

ABOUT US.
We are a family from the North-East of England following our dream to restore a beautiful abandoned french Château. We discovered the heart stopping Château De Lalacelle in summer of 2020, this beautiful architectural monument Is set in the countryside of North-West France.
The moment we visited the Château we all fell in love, from the beautiful sweeping landscape and forests, to its stunning untouched interiors and magnificent spiral staircase in the turret.
Unfortunately Château De Lalacelle has been abandoned for a number of decades so will need a lot of restoration and DIY.
Please subscribe and follow our families journey, with the up’s and down’s in moving from the UK to rural France and restoring this beautiful building to its former glory.

You mentioned in a previous video that all of you did not have a lot of money. Your love for this project easily replaces money. Someone else in the comment section mentioned the lack of pretentiousness from your entire family. That is what makes these videos so enjoyable. From the United States thank you for quality entertainment. I love that you are sharing your life with all of us. Best of luck and can't wait for the next installment.
Thank you very much, yes we don’t have a big pot of money and we are just a normal working family, following our dream and creating a home 🥰🥰
Sell Chateau De Lalacelle merch. We will buy. That could bring in a bit of money. I know I would love a t-shirt or mug, etc. Given that any thought?
Yes totally agree.
So sorry for your loss of a fur baby.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Rip Petal.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
I Glad Every Thing Is Going Back When The Chateau Was Build Back In The 1700O Or 1800 I Am Glad You Are Saving This Very Old History Building Do You All No About The History Of The Chateau? I Would Love To No What Happened To This Old Chateau In The Past
Thank you so much, hopefully we will find more about it’s history next week and we will share it with you all 😊
It is so wonderful to see the whole family back together again, all working to restore this magnificent building and property.
Thank you so much 🥰
You all are such hard workers...The fruits of your labor and love is evident!!
Thank you so much 🥰
Great video. It was the first time that I saw the back of the chateau and the 4 chimneys totally repaired, they look amazing!. You are all doing an amazing job and have come so far. Great team work!!
Thank you so much 🥰
What a great job you've done! The gates are beautiful, they completely transformed the entrance to the chateau. It looks so grand now. By clearing overgrown jungle around the yard you've added lots of light and created spectacular panoramic view. I can watch you forever, you are such a wonderful team. Looking forward to seeing more. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much 🥰
What's a chateau without an iron gate ! Magnifique ! Bien fait Tony!
Thank you so much 🥰
So amazing the challenges you face but so competent in dealing with them

Well done....what a difference it makes with the gates installed! Brilliant!
Thank you very much 🥰
Watching this older video, just AMAZING what you have accomplished! 🇺🇸
I am so glad I found your channel, through Billy Petherick’s channel with Phil. What the four of you have accomplished is amazing. What Tracy and Tony have accomplished on the cottage and the grounds is simply amazing. Now it’ll be exciting to see what four of you can do as you prepare for the upcoming winter. Take care everyone and looking forward to next week!
Thank you so much 🥰
5, did u forget Jonathan? He may be small but he's learning a Great Deal & is very helpful. Soon they won't have to tell him what, he'll just do! 🌹
@@marshawargo7238 very true 🥰🥰
Sorry about your dear cat. Well done chaps on the gates and tree.
Thank you so much 🥰
Ah, the "formidable fivesome!" You are a magical crew and a force to be reckoned with!. You are "can-doers" surely, and I believe you could move mountains! Bravo to you all! Each of you has you own gift to contribute and add to the whole group. I get great enjoyment partaking in your progressing development of restoring Chateau Lalacelle to its former glory. Thank you
Very special video!!! A feat of engineering tree removal and getting massive gates in place!!! Jolly good job!!!

I’m so sorry for your loss. Petal looked like a sweetheart. You are doing such amazing work…fearless as you tackle such big jobs! 😊. Enjoy your party and some rest and fun!
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
You’re quickly becoming my favorite channel, I could watch for hours. I’m sad for the loss of your cat, I love animals. Good to hear you have help coming your way, it would be fun to join the work crew. I’ve always enjoyed home construction and I’m a hard worker but getting older as I am it’s not possible. So I look forward to watching the progress from my home here in Georgia. May God watch over and keep you safe with the intense labor ahead of you. Best wishes.
Thank you so much 🥰
When the rust is cleaned off, those gates will look fab!
Thank you so much 🥰
I love seeing everything going back to the way it was little by little. Great job! Thanks for another great video.
Thank you so much 🥰
Those gates are beautiful. Can’t wait to see them painted!!
Thank you so much, I know, how wonderful they will look 😍
I don’t understand why you didn’t restore the gates while they were still off and much more accessible? Anyway, well done on getting them back in place.
Cute doors behind Terry and Tony. Where do they lead to?
Amazing watching the chateau come back to life, The gates are going to look so beautiful xxx

Thank you so much 🥰🥰
Looks fab your dong amazing work as a Fab close Family Wonderful
Thank you so much 🥰
The gates have added beauty to your garden and home 🥰 and hopefully they will detour an uninvited stranger from coming to your front door. With y’all doing so much work around there I’m sure the passers by are curious. See y’all soon ❤️
Thank you so much, yes it will be good to have back up for that reason and to keep the dogs in 🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle don’t want the little oggie to sleep with the cow again 😂 I know y’all must have been beside yourselves when he went missing for a few hours.
The gates are gorgeous! Good job, all of you!
Thank you so much 🥰
A lot of work! But it's nice that you're working together to reach a goal that will benefit everyone. Thanks for sharing the journey!
Thank you so much 🥰
The Gate Will Look 👀 Smart When Paint”
Thank you so much 🥰
I love this series! You and your family have an appreciation for the beauty of this Chateau. I'm enchanted by the work ethic and the great attitude. God bless all of you.
Thank you very much 🥰
Have a lovely party...and belated Happy Birthday Ash. The gates look very grand! 🥳👏🥰
Thank you so much ☺️
Well done! I hope you had time to dig out the other fountain too. I am so looking forward to seeing the symmetrical view. 🌻🌻
Thank you so much, yes we got all that done too and will be showing you all very soon 🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle hurray!!!!
Great job can't wait to see those gates and railings painted 🙌 x
Thank you so much 🥰
Oh I’m so sorry for your loss. Our pets are our baby’s too. 💟☮️
Thank you so much, yes it t is so hard when you lose a pet 🥲🥰
Terry, I must say that the music chosen for the rise of the gate was PERFECT! It deserves the emotion and strength of the music. The dogs are really cute when they are shaved. Almost didn't recognize them lol Glad to see you two back in the videos!!
Good idea to make use of the digger while you had it . You could never move them gates or take pillar down without mechanical muscle . Great video . 👍
Thank you so much 🥰
(Moira Ashton) I'm so sorry to hear about Petal passing, RIP little one, 😪😪 Lovely to see the gates being put back on again, I wonder if the missing finials on the gate will ever turn up?? Love the sunset drone shots, beautiful, and a "Bless you" to Jonathan -he sneezed behind you at the end of filming!! 🥰🥰🥰💗💗💗💗💗💗xxxxxx
Thank you so much 🥰
So excited and happy for all of you. Thank you for inviting us on your journey!
Thank you so much for beautiful part of it with us 🥰
I so enjoy your family and your creative problem solving and skill! Thank You for sharing.
Thank you so much 🥰
Always a pleasure to see you all hard at work, lol! Have a great party! 💜💜💜
Thank you so much 🥰
It's great to see you maximizing your resources and making progress. It's very appreciated that you all take the time and make the effort to share with us. Love the camera work and also the pairing of the music to build suspense and accentuate comedy. The gates are lovely and so worth the effort, good idea for the finials. I'm definitely looking forward to each weeks vlog.
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy it all 🥰🥰
Have fun with the party you need it!
Glad that you are all together finally! Can’t imagine being apart from family for that long. Place is looking amazing. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much 🥰
What a great way to maximize an opportunity. The gates add so much grandeur to the cottage and chateau. I hope the fence railing/piece hasn't been badly damaged. I'm eager to see your next episode, and luckily for me, there are many to come!
I really enjoyed the creative photography, editing, interview format, and music in this video. Everything was beautifully done! This is a wonderful channel…I wish you much success!
Thank you so so much, we do try to improve each time 🥰🥰
So amazing to see the gates back up! Have a wonderful day off. Love your videos and Instagram pictures thank you for sharing your progress. best Regards Rainey
Thank you so much 🥰
First so very sorry to hear about your pets passing. Know how you feel as we have just lost our dog this week and it is very hard. Love your gates - more hard work but so worth it and I noticed the fabulous urns on the steps - I am the green eyes monster here as I love them. They look perfect behind you. Hope the party is wonderful. You all deserve some time out. 👏👏
Thank you so much, yes it is so hard when you lose a pet and sorry to hear the same for you. Yes the beautiful urns we had at the front but look so much better at the back 🥰🥰
What a job! It will look great when it's cleaned up and painted....love those gates! You mentioned "some lanterns"...that would just finish them off.....wow! Great idea spacing the finials to even things out! You sure are a hard working family! Take care of yourselves as you "crack on"! Jonathan is such a sweet boy.
Thank you so much ☺️
god bless you all I love the work and love the place but boy o boy
Thank you so much 🥰
Thanks for filming the work around the gate.
How exciting to see the gates moved after being covered up by nature for so many years and brought back to life and used once again for their proper use. Another great job done by all... From watching the other Chateau Renovation KZhead Channels, a mini-digger and a cherry picker are must haves when renovating a chateau.. :) When Tony and Terry were standing talking in front of the gates, I was looking at the Chateau behind them and you can see just how big the Chateau is when you use the two lads as reference.. R.I.P. Petal..
Thank you very much, yes you definitely get a idea of scale 🥰
I did appreciate this video, particularly the moment Patrick is digging, but not only... Congratulations for the incredible work you have accomplished. It's a real treat to attend this (monthly) weekly rendez vous with your so nice family.
sorry about Petal, lots of
Thank you so much ❤️
Amazing. You are mak8ng great progress. So fulfilling to see all of your efforts now starting to make sense. You will have a grand and great home! Fun to watch.
Thank you so much 🥰
The beginning of this video was very cool. When you started talking, I jumped off to leave a comment.
Thank you ❤️😊
Suggestion: maybe someone could 3-D print copies of the finales for your gate, once painted and from a distance they will be indistinguishable from the originals.
Thank you so much, what a great idea 😊
I agree. They need something atop the capitals.
... for about a year, unless you can find someone with a metal 3D printer. The materials for that aren't that cheap either. Otherwise I'd try to find a local-ish blacksmith, the parts don't look too complicated.
That’s Wht I’m saying like where is there creativity they don’t seem excited about even doing it it’s like blah blah blah blah . U could be doing so many projects around the yard it don’t take money to clean the yard up rake n make the yard look a lil better it jus look like they haven’t did anything and it’s 4 of them . Ile come back 1 yr later see what they have done cuz I’m more excited for them than they are
@@shawnking616 hello, yes there is four of us but we have only just been reunited together after a long wait. We have done so much on the grounds, tackling over 40 years of overgrowth is not easy task and we have 21 acres to tackle. Since arriving we have cleared all the south terrace, walled garden, secret garden, uncovered the orangery, pig pen, chicken coop, and two other outbuildings, cleared the drive and widened it, uncovered the two original water holds at the front of the chateau which have been hidden for over 50 year, all while completely renovating the cottage, château and making videos for all you lovely people. Yes some work can be done with no money but when you are moving so much earth you have to hire machinery which is not cheap, hope all this helps and we feel we have accomplished so much in lest than one year. Kind regards
The only thing missing from that gate is roses on the walls behind you. That is a glorious view there. Amazing😎😍👍
Thank you for telling your story. Fascinating. I'm envious...
You have a very honest and trustworthy channel. Not one bit of pretentiousness just simple hard work and I love experiencing your e evolution in the editing and what you film. Even your language has improved. Well done.
Thank you so much, so glad you enjoy it all 🥰🥰
Don't we all just love a little digger? You bet we do! 💪💪💪🍻
Tracy enjoyed it as it saved her back from digging 😊
Sorry for the loss of Petal 😢🐈⬛🐈. ❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️

Every self respecting château needs it gates, BRAVO!!!!
Those gates are going to be beautiful! Your family is lovely.
Durn Dude, way to burst a fantasy bubble! I envisioned Mum Tracy off to the side watching from a chase lounge with the camera in one hand & a Jack n Coke in the other. Pointing out where there could be improvement in the works efficiency. Of course we All Know that will never happen! Another Great Video! 🌹
Thoroughly enjoyed video! I'm so glad those beautiful gates are in their rightful place. Well done!
Thank you so much 🥰
Such a great motivation project!
Thank you so much 🥰
Wow amazing workers all four of you so enjoyed this one
Thank you so much 🥰
Lovely to see you all working together so well. Tony I am amazed at the vast knowledge you have to be able to do so many different task and be so successful. Using the digger was such a good idea. Happy birthday Ash. Love following your progress. Take care and best wishes to you all.
Thank you very much 🥰
Great to save the beautiful architecture
Wouldn't you love to see a video of all the wonderful things these gates saw over 100's of years.
It would be amazing, to think of the people that once passed through them 😮🥰🏰
Terrys skill and construction knowledge is a priceless asset for this project.
I am so sorry about Petal. Beautiful work on the Chateau.
Constantly amazed at the miracles you manage to achieve
Thank you so much 😊
Phew! That looked like work! So glad that my only "job" is to support this channel so you can continue transforming the chateau!
Thank you so much 🥰

@@chateaudelalacelle that will look really good 👍
Gates are beautiful!
Thank you 😊
So glad to see your family united again. I can envision a pair of lions at the top of the pillars. I'll call it the Lion's Gate entrance if someday they are in place there.
Thank you so much 🥰
