How To Install A Septic System At The Chateau. Ep 53
Bonjour à tous,
This week at the chateau, its part 1 of this huge job, work starts with installing the septic tank system. after waiting over a year to get it sorted it is finally here, the system is delivered but as the chateau was designed to welcome people in a horse and cart rather than a lorry, we have a little problem getting it in.
We talk through why we have chosen this system and how it will work.

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.

Michael Petherick is an incredible artist. The bee 🐝 is my absolute favorite ♥️ What a thoughtful gift. Wonderful seeing the septic tank go in. God bless and be safe. 🇫🇷♥️🦚
Septic tank: don’t care. Birds songs: fantastic. 😊
Michael is a great person and artist. I love watching your family
I love that Patrick is always on the scene supervising 😂
Ash and Terry..you two are so sweet together. I am so glad Michael @doingourselves included you in the prints he sent chateau owners!
Michael is a very talented artist. It was very generous of him to send them.
I held my breath when you were moving the tank . Micheal's print are Amazing 🤗 Well done every everyone the Amount of work you all do 🤗💐🤗 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Just wish the videos came up in chronological order. Well done every one
You can find them all in order in the playlist for the château and cottage 🙏🥰🥰
Wow, you sure are cracking on! Listening to you explain what has to happen to install the system, whew! I'm a Canadian so I'm glad we had the right system for you! It was so nice to hear the birds singing in the background. You are such a wholesome couple Terry and Ash and ditto with Tracey, Tony and Jonathan. A joy to watch, even watching a septic tank being installed!
Those patterns by Michael in the fabrics are so exquisite ! The chateau is working its way to perfection and I love watching you at work , you're all so brave !❤
Who would have thought that I would find installing a septic tank to be so interesting!!! However so many viewers are invested in your success in bring the chateau back to life by watching your videos and subscribing? Well done everyone!
So much work. I have to say those chairs were beautiful and so nice of Michael to send his drawings. He’s so talented.
So much happening it is very exciting. Once the septic and electricity are in place life will be so much easier. Well done.
Congratulations on getting your septic system in. As always, love watching your whole family.
I’ve never cheered for a septic tank instal until today🤣. I have one, they work pretty darn well and a whole lot better than a bucket in the woods😹😁. All of you are wonderful human beings. I’m so happy for all of ya💗
HAha. We’ve been cheering all week 😂😂
Wherever your leaching field is will be extra fertal, so what ever you plant there should do well
Looks like a very good septic system. It will be so nice to have that big, necessary job completed. You are so good and natural and fun in front of the camera. I’m so excited for you as you accomplish more and more. You are soon going to be living comfortably with showers and bathtubs and proper kitchens, etc. Love your vlogs and your family. Hugs xx
We use a similar system in australia but our water that is filtered through sand sprinkles on to the lawn, happy to say it smells great and works wonderfully.
A sand and gravel drain field is the best. In the states the newer cheaper dome type systems tend to fail in 5-6 years. We have a sand and gravel septic system installed 42 years ago and it’s only been pumped twice and that was only because it seemed like a good idea but there has never been a problem. Good choice to do the sand and gravel!
Huge task - but won't it be awesome to flush a toilet! 😂 We had septic at our country cottage - keeping it clean and maintaining it was simple and it worked great. Always happy to see how much progress is taking place, leading to comfortable living.
have you considered widening one of the gates to allow for deliveries? The future will continue to need large deliveries. and in the future who know how wide the vehicles some of the guest may be driving.
Agree. The septic tank itself has to be sucked out every few years, and you do need that particular truck to be as close to the tank as possible...
I was goanna ask about the back doors Hans made and if they were up. Look forward to seeing them up. Lots of work going on, heaps of progress.
Tremendous effort installing the septic tank 😮💨I bet your all relieved to tick that job off the list 👏 So happy for you 🥰 Lovely thought from Michael Petherick send you some of his prints ! Looking forward to see what you’ve been doing in the cottage & chateau! Take care 🥰♥️
Omg omg 😲 😍 I recognise ✉ the envelope squealing out loud like a teenager, I'm sooo jelly. So beautiful.
Someday in the future you going to have to have that tank pumped and the pumping truck will have to get inside your Gates. The pumper is the size of a cement truck. 👍👍❤ 🇨🇦
OMG - not an easy task. At least you are getting everything done the right way and won't have to go back later to correct it...Never a dull moment in your lives...God Bless you all...Love, Love, Love
So exciting to see everything come together! Greetings from San Francisco.
You made this job so interesting and FUN.
We live with a septic system on a farm in Florida... but you have the Rolls Royce of systems. Please give this Gorgeous Girl a name like Celia or Sophia! No matter what, you alway stay upbeat and cheerful, keep it up
wow, watching from Tasmania!!, I am watching from Madrid, Spain. I lived in Middlesbrough for a year and also bought a big house in central Spain. I love watching your channel not only for the renovations you show, but for your values and personalities. You represent the best in human nature!!!!
Thank you so much Maria!
You guys might be well served to create a truck entrance on the property
Michael Petherick (Doing it ourselves) is so talented. So nice you are all in the same area to share your talents and friendships. I hope to visit one day.
Loved the details of the septic. Now I know what I want. Thank you!!
We've used septic tanks in the 🇺🇸 for years. They are very effective and once it's in no sewage bill.
Wow, what a huge job for the septic. Lucky ye had help. Micheal's art prints are lovely. I had a good laugh about "spank man"!
grew. up. with the old fashioned septic, hole in ground with gradient of stone, gravel and sand through with tree planted next to it. happily shat along until smelly then dad dug it up, or extended it, bit new gravel&stone, sand then happily using lavatory again. same system but lot more messy than clean and pretty system you chaps have put in 😀
Hi y,all .like I previously said only you guys can get "likes" for a septic tank 😅😂🤣 .....but it's YOU ALL that make these vlogs fab 🤗🥰 .lovely to hear all your other news on the chateau and cottage . P.s Brilliant to see t.shirt weather 👌........Bring on Summer 🌞🌞🌞 look after each other .love ya lots 💚💙💜💛🤎🖤🤍❤🧡xxxxxx Sue
Thanks Sue! Take care xx
I remember the days of the long drop !!This is progress and will be great once completed! 👊👊👏👏👏🙏
Looking forward to this but sadly will have to watch on replay because of the time difference! Hi guys from Tasmania Australia! 😴😴❤❤👊👏👏
Impressive effort for all of these products put into place, you 2 are a class act in front of camera always make me laf. You are an outstanding family!!
Thanks Susan :)
You two deserve everything you get, you must all be a pleasure to work for. Such lovely people spreading so much love. So talented🤗your eye for design is awesome, can’t wait to see what you do 😘
Thanks Susannah :)
My Dad use to put ground beef in the septic so the bacteria would break it down more. ( west coast Canadian here ). As long as you pump the tank out regularly, you should not have any issues.
I have to assume they thought about either making a new, wider gate or enlarging one of the narrow ones. These guys seem to be on the ball. I feel sure there is a reason.
It is so shocking how much money you have to pay to put in the systems but oh so necessary. I am so happy how you are making such progress on the chateau.
Thank you :)
Pretty awesome that Michael sent the prints to you. Looking forward to seeing them framed and hanging in the cottage :)
I didn’t catch the name of the wonderful artist that sent those prints. Can anyone tell me? I would love to send away for some myself! Exquisite! 💕❤️💕

Oh Lovely Michael’s Artwork is so Glorious and will look wonderful next to your Mum’s chairs. You guys are just moving along nicely now with your Chateau renovations. Thanks for sharing
Wait, Tracy has a tattoo? She is like no other grandmother I’ve ever known. 😊 Carrying couches, digging for hours, repointing bathroom walls. She is truly amazing! “Crack on, Tracy, crack on”. 💪🏻. Lisa, Grafton, Massachusetts, USA
Busy busy lives, must have been a great time having family over having fun and lots of helpers, septic tank even made for good vlog love everything you do though fun people take care x
I never thought I would enjoy watching a septic tank being out in but it was great 😃😃😃 I am rooting for Tracy to get the first bubble bath in cottage tub 💗
Great choice of music for a septic tank delivery!
Your excitement its like Christmas presents arriving the joy is obvious
You guys are doing it! Congratulations, you deserve it, live the dream! In a way I would miss walking around in your mansion with a candle but I can understand your need for a toilet! Good job, it's going to be great.
Friends are worth their weight 8n gold aren’t they!
I know first hand what it is like to get a septic system put in correctly! I am so relieved not to have septic tank issues for a while! Good job and getting there! Love that you got some of Michael's prints! They are lovely
Thanks Pam! It’s been a slog but it’s nearly there!
You got that down to a science.
OMG, Nothing is Easy , Well Done 👍 Lad’s 👏👏👏👏👏👏👍
Wow...everything all at once! I bet your heads are spinning! You have my absolute respect - I love watching your progress. I have to apologize that I didn't know it was necessary to like the videos - sorry! I've just gone back and liked the ones I've watched. Take care of yourselves and see you Wednesday 😀
Again a great video! Good music, good filming. I like your « aventure » so much guys.
OMG! MICHAEL from Doing it Ourselves, a great guy!!
Great vlog tonight. Excellent editing and I really enjoyed the Dire Straights style music. That little truck is a sexy little beast. Nice to see you smiling so big that you are even smiling with your eyes!!!!! Cheers from Toronto! Adding into your vlog what you were able buy with the ad revenue would be fun to see and may encourage others to watch the ads. Got the idea from Chateau Ferte.
Take the opportunity to make the pond a lake, boating and wildlife, the earth along property line to help with noise.
Looks great 👍 just remember to carefully measure and record where the cap is on the tank. We did the measurements, wrote them down on a piece of the house, and then never saw them again. It was quite a bit of digging to find the tank again when it needed pumping out LOL 🤣
Chugging along with the hard bits. That'll be a huge weight off. 🤗💪🌮🍺
Great amazing job well done 👍
Michael's artwork is amazing, I have treated myself to the bee and the foxes. It was lovely that he included you in the chateaus that he sent them to
That’s a massive project! Good thing you have all that heavy lifting machinery
Wow what amazing work you have done. Love you guys.
❤️from🇨🇦
Uau!! I haven't seen that design that you used in the chairs before! It's beautiful!
We call that a leaching field in America!
In my area in Ontario, Canada, my septic bed works for a four bedroom house. I have two bedrooms. Wow! Jobs are truly coming along at La Lacelle!!! I didn’t see Patrick on the job today. Love that pup!!! 😂😎🎶❤️👏👏👏🇨🇦
I must say i came across this series by chance and im so glad i did. You are a really nice close family and i must say i enjoy Ashs' humour. Well done to a very hard working family Xx
Gosh I didn’t realise how lucky I was just to flush the loo. It sounds like a great system and will be worth all the hard work .
Well done getting that septic tank in place. We are having a new one fitted soon and im dreading the mess its going to make. Well done guys. Xxx
Thanks Cherie! Yes it’s a lot of work!
Always something new & exciting Is happening! Very happy for you all! Lots of hugs 💝💙💙💙💙🐶🐶🐶🌈
Where are the Peacocks?
Fascinating process getting that septic in. Lovely gifts from Michael. Thanks for sharing. 😊👍💜🇨🇦
Grain shovels are huge, with big plastic bowls, estate rakes are three or four feet wide...gauntlets ( welding gloves). Will save you from finger fear...
Such a big job but a very important one! Big effort from you all
so much work! And yes, it is all like a domino effect....one thing leads to another to another! Wishing you all the best!! It will be amazing!
Love you guys!!
Where I am in Canada the raised bed system is all that is legally allowed. It’s a good system. Just expensive.
A massive job but a huge relief when it's finished .
good grief guys,send like the Frenchies don't want to work and take forever to get anything done, they'd all starve to death here in the US,lol, y'all are an inspiration to us all, keep up the great work.
They are a fantastic septic system
It's a good training for your future swimming pool 😉
No! Not happening 😂😂
Great video everyone 👍
That was a nice gift you got from Michael, he said he was going to surprise someone.
You need a construction entrance where the new drive enters the property!
OMG. What a massive job. Not being able to get enough sand and gravel must be frustrating 😒 Michael’s art work is spectacular and such a lovely gift 🎁 Thanks for sharing 😍😘
Love to watch you so much ❤️ So sorry I missed the live but know that I love everything you do❤️❤️❤️
The whole , everything, has been so amazing!!! I know we're all thankful for your sharing your home with us!!!!!!
How will you get the tank emptied if lorries can't get through your gates?
Love watching your families adventure. l was wondering if you could share where the forest or woodland fabric you had upholstered chairs in please? l live in Ontario Canada....don't see it anywhere. best of luck for your quest for electricity and a BATH.
Big project done that let's all kinds of things move forward😉. Exciting days to come with the doors and your suite being completed! Michael's work is beautiful and will be very nice in the cottage. One step closer👍😁🇨🇦
Lots of progress so quickly, nice to see things coming together.
Great job.💥😁
Wonderful progress.....
Another lovely video Terry
