Fitting A Staircase To Rival A Staircase In The Château Cottage & Special Announcement. Ep18
This week at Château de Lalacelle, Tracy and Tony have had another busy couple of weeks, firstly with the fitting of the bargain staircase in the Château cottage which was picked up from someone on the internet at the start of the year. only Problem with getting a bargain staircase is that it is a little short, well two steps short. so Tracy and Tony and to find a way of creating two new steps for the staircase while blending it inrto what is already there, not a easy job.
also, Tracy go's on another gardening rampage and starts to tackle some of the overgrowth on the outbuildings to create a space and grow some beautiful strawberries, with a little help from Jonathan.
and finally, the pair have a very exciting announcement at the end of the show, it has been a long time waiting but it is finally near and you will all be so happy with the news, so stay tuned it the end of the show.

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.

So glad you were able to get the shop taken care of. What a weight that must be off everyone's mind. Really glad that Terry will be able to finally join everyone. I can only imagine how hard it has been for everyone without him. So excited to see all of the progress and projects that will be made and started once you are all together again. REALLY ENJOYED seeing the piggery uncovered. What a sense of accomplishment that must be. After all what is a chateau without a greenhouse? I was wary of the stone for the stairs until I saw it. Perfect choice. Well done!
Look at you two, brown as berries, relaxed, laughing and looking like young lovebirds. Loving it 😍
The smile on Tracy's face is super sweet. Stairs! Tony's smile seeing her so happy, equally sweet!
Tracy, the work you have done pulling vines and everything else you have done since arriving is awe inspiring. You have motivated me exponentially! Looking forward to next Sunday when all of you are together at the Chateau. God Bless both you and Tony for all of your energy and your patience, and the tutelage of your grandson; he is adorable and is gathering memories for years to come.
Thank you so much. 🥰
I totally agree!!! Tracy you seem to have got your mojo back and are beeming with happiness!! It must be so satisfying looking at all of your hard work, the stairs are fab, well done.. Looking forward to seeing you all together. 🤗❤️
@@chateaudelalacelle Any chance Tracy is a former model? Love all of the work you all do. Thanks!
It is so nice to see the both of you more relaxed in front of the camera and Tony’s smile when he hit the stone and it snapped into two just as he had predicted, priceless 🤗🇦🇺
Trimming off all that bramble was like watching some ancient Amazonian ruins being revealed. What a massive undertaking. Well done!
Good heavens! There’s a building under all that greenery! Good going on clearing all that out.
Thank you very much 🥰
Tracy's uncovering of the piggery is INCREDIBLE! I love the stone steps in the wall to get to the upper door. Those buildings are ancient. Great progress and developments all the way around!
Thank you very much, yes the little steps are lovely 🥰
How great that you will all be back together soon, and 5pairs of hands much better than 3. Must include young Jonathan, he's delightful. Great life for him. Stairs look fabulous. Really pleased a vlog every week and shop selling must be a weight of your mind. Well done 💕

That wooden staircase is beautiful...So lucky to have found it....Love you all...Keep up the good works!! Keep on VLOGGIN!!
Thank you very much 🥰
I'm laid up with a knee injury, and discovered your channel yesterday. As a result, I've started from episode 1, and I'm riveted. Your efforts and solutions are practical and beautiful. Love watching your family work together (Jonathan is a delight). The cumulative steps forward are so impactful, it's incredibly satisfying to watch. This episode is perhaps one of the most dramatic in terms of transformations. The staircase is perfect, and Tracey's efforts were remarkable.
I just cracked up seeing the daschund water pitcher! I love seeing your dogs. My first family dog was a daschund named Sniffy (I named her when I was 3). Our next dog was a Westie, named Bonnie. We just loved those dogs. I get a bit welled up when I see your dogs but they are all happy memories!
Aww my sisters Westie is called Bonnie 🥰
Yes the little Patrick watering can 🥰🥰
Yes, I loved Patrick supervising the work from below while Patrick the watering can was busy above. 🥰🥰
Great news guys. Stairs are brilliant, Tracy your phenomenal 🌻Jonathan your such a trooper. Take care and stay safe✌️
We absolutely loved the blog tonight. Always we love the history behind each building with the personal touch. Also, your Aunt would be called a truly Southern Belle and your Uncle a Southern gentleman.
Tracy you are a amazing worker and looking beautiful with the short hair. A wonderful couple
congratulations on selling the shop. great news for you all. your stairs look wonderful
Thank you very much, yes we will all be together soon 🥰
So pleased at your news that your shop has sold must be a weight off your mind . The staircase is fantastic . You both work so hard and young Jonathan has grown so much loves helping his Nana . Looking forward to more renovations .

Love the greenhouse idea Tracy...OMG...you all are incredible...
Thank you so much 🥰
I can't wait to see how this place is going to look next spring/summer with more work done and the flowers and veggies! looks amazing
Thank you very much 🥰
Great job Jonathan! Your gran is a lucky lady with you and Tony picking berries and building beautiful staircases for her. That Tracie is one ina million for sure! What a difference she made clearing out around the piggery. Great vlog guys!
Congratulations on the sale of the shop! It will be so nice for you all to be together working on the chateau.
I love these videos. People that are really renovating . That's why I like this channel the best you learn a lot!
Thank you so much 🙏🥰
You guys are so incredible. So many things to do (and looks so discouraging sometimes), but all of you keep on going on especially Jonathan. We cannot wait to see all of you (including Terry and Ash) at the Chateau next week. It will be a great reunion. Slowly, but surely the Chateau will be back to its previous glory and we'll be there to cheer you on!
Starting your journey via KZhead almost 2 years behind, so I'm sure you already know what a fantastic job all of you are doing/have done. The stones at the bottom of the beautiful steps in the lobby, the stones on the wall, absolutely beautiful. Well done both of you. Jonathan is a keeper as well. I hope you both are as proud of the work you've done as all of the rest of us are. Thanks for all of your hard work on these videos, too. Watching you from Mexico City.
Stairs look lovely Tracy you work so hard in the garden love your new hair style well done to you both.
Such great news. Tony you are a gem to have transformed those stairs and incorporated the stone. Love the haircut Tracy, you look wonderful and you did a wonderful transformation on the piggery. So happy you will all be together again.
I’d hang out working with Tracy all day! I love those kind of projects!
She always needs a hand 🥰 thank you very much ❤️
Stairs are great folks, the two granite steps make it. Great work on the out buildings Tracey. Great to hear you been more vocal on the vlog. Great news on the guys coming over now that the shop has been sold. Keep up the good work 👍🍀

Beyond how absolutely beautiful your work turned out this week I'm so happy for you all that the sale has finalized and the boys will be joining you at Lalacelle!

Is there anything you can't do, Tony? And Tracy, love the hair, and am so impressed with your overgrowth clearing skills! It's a good thing you have Jonathan to help! Good job on the Elderberries, Jonathan, that's a fussy job well done!
Hi everyone! I have caught up on all of your videos! I am from New Orleans, Louisiana in the USA. I have absolutely loved watching your videos. I would have to wear closed-toed shoes while walking past the stairs because I would stub my toe all of the time 😅. I’m looking forward to the future videos ❤️
TRACEY! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!!!! You are so tough and so dedicated to all these projects. Amazing work. The stairs look amazing. So perfect.
You two are absolutely amazing, Tracey and Tony - just loved how chatty and clearly excited you both were about the progress made at the end of this vlog!! You work so hard, are such a great team, obviously love each other to bits, and seem to be fantastic parents and grandparents🙌😊
Thank you so much for the lovely comment 🥰🥰

Wonderful news! How lovely to have your whole family together finally. Looking forward to your live chat. And the stairs look marvelous!

Thank you very much, 🥰
Vous faites un travail incroyable. Bravo à tous les deux pour votre courage. Merci de redonner vie au patrimoine français.
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda, Petal and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️
Oh Tony, Tracy I could not be happier for you both that you will all be together finally. You both work so hard, are so inspirational and deserve every success. The stairs are amazing I can just see them at Christmas decorated with fairy lights. Tracy, your new haircut is gorgeous and really shows off those fantastic cheek bones. Take care.
Wow you two! You have done so much on your own, you need medals!!! No doubt it will be great to have the family complete and as you folks say "crack on" with the Chateau, which I am so excited about following you around as you work on it! Can't wait!
Thank you very much, yes château work can finally start 🥰
@@chateaudelalacelle I love your new hair style Tracy!
Wow, super progress! Brilliant stairs and over growth clean out!!!
Wow what an amazing job on the stairs. The last two steps were a stroke of genius. The removal of all that ivy really transforms the grounds, the vines are so destructive to the stonework as well. I have never understood why people think it adds character to a building to have it covered in ivy. Great job both of you! Love the vlog and love how you guys just get stuck in and accomplish each task.
So much achieved this week, what a great idea to build up the stairs with stone they look fantastic. The piggery looks amazing too, you two are like machines 😊 congratulations on the sale of your shop the huge smiles on your faces just shows how excited you both are to have your family all back together. Oh and Tracy the hair cut looks stunning too 👌😊
Congratulations. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. 👍👍👍🏴
Love your hair Tracy & what a fantastic job you & Tony are doing. True northern grit !! x
Just watched the opening and had to pause to say that Tracey and Tony look marvellous. Tracey, love your haircut, it so suits you and must be cooling for the work you do. Now, on to the show 🇨🇦🤗
I'm looking forward to the weekly progress. So excited for you to all be together and make the dream happen. Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
Thank you very much m, yes we can not wait to be together at last 🥰
Wow the staircase looks beautiful just as glorious as the château, it's fabulous thank 😊 you for sharing your forever journey.

Glad that the shop has finally sold & you can all be together Andrew 💐💜x
That staircase is brilliant, good job!!! Tracy - you are a master jungle Wacker!!!
Those step stones look fantastic. And I agree, it looks like as if the stones were always there and the wooden staircase added thereafter. Great idea!

Well done Tracey, clearing all the overgrown shrubs made a big difference
Excellent progress!!! The piggery roof and area looks great! 😁🇨🇦❤️

Thank you very much 🥰
The stairs look fantastic! Well done!
Tony had me chortling at " Toffee hammer" and " Percy Thrower"😂. The stone and the stairs are fabulous. Woman against trees was EPIC. Go Tracy!! 👏😇🥳
Great to see the overgrowth being stripped away and the hidden bits of buildings come to light.
Wow the pair of you are just amazing, the stairs look fantastic, as Tracy said, the granite looks as though it’s always been there. Loving the hair Tracy, very glam, it really suits you.

With every vlog..You amaze me.Fantastic.
Thank you very much 🥰
You’ve both done fantastic work in the cottage, and in the garden cleaning up, and getting a nice tan while doing so 😉. Wonderful news that Terry and Ash are on their way over. Keep up the good work. I really appreciate the fact that you are both very humble whilst being both very talented, and so down to earth. It’s a real pleasure watching you guys.
Great work on the stairs!!! Perfect for the stone cottage! Is there anything that Yracy can’t do! That piggery was almost eaten by the bushes! What a treat to get a harvest of elderberries for all the hard work!
