Tackling The walled Garden At The Château Ep9
This week at the Château,
Ash and Tony have been busy in a number of different areas. Ash starts with tacking the years of overgrowth and neglect in the walled garden so we can start to make plans for future business ideas.
Meanwhile, Tony has been working on the cottage. As Tony is Removing the ceiling in the kitchen he’s uncovers a problem, and starting work on getting the bargain staircase fitted in one of the rooms. Also Tony has been busy finishing off the treating for Woodworm in the loft for the Château.
Hope you all enjoy the video

About us and our story
We are a family from Middlesbrough in 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 Château to its former glory.

Wood treating is so important what amazes me is that the wood lasts 100's of years as it is not processed-the-hell-out-of. Worm holes and termites are the main problem found however once the reach a part of the wood that does not appeal to them it is then move on. What a person finds under all the dust and years of neglect are Oak beams to be proud of. Great job!
Thank you very much 🥰
You guys just remember to take some time off from the work too, it is a marathon and you need to take care of your selves. Many get overworked and tired of the task ahead so it is vital to have some unwinding time, especially as you are living on the site too. You will always see what needs to be done and it can get to you in the long run. Take care, stay healthy, looking forward to the continuation of the restoration.
Thank you very much, yes we do have some down time to relax and enjoy the surroundings 🥰🏰
Tony is a machine!!!! Love the music!!! Keep up the great work. No doubt the old girl loves the fact you are bringing her back to her former glory.
Thank you very much, it’s wonderful to see it slowly coming back to life 🥰
You are doing such a great job. It’s a privilege to be part of your journey and watch your Chateau and grounds renewed again.
Thank you very much, glad you can be part of our journey 🥰
As Ash was cutting down all those volunteer saplings, I was thinking tinder, kindling, and firewood Really nice job on that backbreaking work in the walled garden. I find it fascinating to see the bones of the cottage, and I love the placement of the stairs. I think it'll be fantastic.
You two are some of the hardest working chaps I've ever seen. If you didn't show the big jobs in time lapse, I would be exhausted from watching you work so hard. You are making great progress and I'm very excited when I see your notifications of new videos. Hope the rest of the family will be able to join you soon. Wishing you the BEST from Hawaii,
Thank you very much 🙏 yes hopefully we will all be back soon 🥰
I never subscribe so fast when he said castle restoring.
Thank you very much, so glad you can join us 🥰🏰
So smart to wear the safety equipment needed to protect your health and eyes. You are also setting a great example for others that watch your vlogs,well done!!!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Yes and a great example for Johnny! 👏🏻👏🏻
Like the idea of putting the stairs in the lobby. You could use the kitchen corner for a round table setting or if you’re having a large table in the middle of the kitchen perhaps you could have a corner banquette seating area with a table for Johnny to sit and play games or do his homework or draw while Tracy and Tony are working in the kitchen.
Love how you tidy up as you go along with each job! It makes extra work but reduces accidents and dust and dirt getting into other projects. You are both really hard workers and undoubtedly saving yourselves lots of money by doing so much yourselves. The whole project is really coming on now - the warmer, dry weather helps too.
You are such hard workers!! I am really impressed with your work and renovationplans!
Thank you very much, yes we are a family of hard works 🥰
Thanks for the update on the chickens, walled garden starting to look great, you guys are hard workers, good job
Thank you very much, yes Chickens are all happy🥰
I love how cautious, considered & respectful of the old buildings you are. Great progress. I hope you get time to enjoy the better weather.
Thank you very much, yes ash and Tony have been enjoying the weather 🥰
It's amazing how satisfying a clean slate is! 😂 both in the cottage and in the walled garden.
You are doing a fantastic job you can certainly see where you have been .looking forward to more.
Thank you very much 🥰
Really admire your work. Keep these wonderful videos coming.
Thank you so much, glad you are enjoying them
I recommend watching The 2nd Empire Strikes Back which is a KZhead channel about restoring a Second Empire Victorian house in St. Louis Mo.
Thank you very much, we will ha e a look 😊
Work goes good😀 it is great to see progress at the chateau. keep up the good work. the aerial views gave a very nice perspective of your surroundings 👍
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
As a Landscape gardener myself and farmer being as one with "nature" is the key, because she rewards you 10 fold.. I would advise also as a holder of (CS30/CS31 etc) invest in some chainsaw gloves.. Kickback is a lethal thing. Good video..
Thank you very much for the advice 🙏😁
so glad that robot narrator got the boot!!! good work!
Thank you very much, glad you are enjoying the videos 🙏🥰
So much work..incredible!! You are doing an amazing job and are so thorough when you work, so enjoy watching all that you are doing!! Well done!! Remember to take rests every now and then and take care of yourselves. Look forward to the next vlog....thank you!!
Thank you very much, yes ash & Tony have been working so hard 🥰
Nice to see a chainsaw started with respect the propper way on the ground. 👍
🙏😁
Another belter of an episode. I continue to be so impressed by the way you are doing things so thoroughly and professionally. It will save much time and heartache in the long run. And Tony (who looked a bit nervous in the first couple of episodes) is emerging as an absolute natural in front of the camera! When are the rest of the family hoping to get out and reunite?
Thank you very much, we are not to sure when all the family will be back together at the moment as we are waiting on the sale of the business 🥰
And Covid restrictions make it frustratingly impossible I guess to just "pop over" for a week. I hope the sale goes through smoothly.
@@hughw8543 we hope so too 🙏
I thought that too. Tony is more relaxed in front of the camera than at the beginning.
I love watching your Chanel. You are all 'nice down to earth' people. All very capable of explaining what your doing. Jonathan seems to be a nice wee boy, not precocious at all which is unusual for a child growing up with all adults. The cottage is going to be marvelous as is the top floor of the Chateau when finished. NZ follower.
What great progress you two are making, you are no doubt tired...but wow!
Thank you very much, yes ash and Tony are so hard working 🥰
I love watching you guys work, Ash and Tony!! It is so exciting to see your amazing progress. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the stairs installed!! Thanks for sharing your vision, instruction and journey!!! USA
Thank you very much, so glad you are enjoying our journey 🙏🥰
You guys are incredible !! The work you have done is outstanding and it shows in the transformations . Thanks again for sharing your journey . Sending you all good wishes 🙏
Thank you so much 🙏 glad you are enjoying the videos 🥰
You're progressing so wonderfully! I'm excited to have been watching from the beginning, and getting to see you breathe new life into that lovely property!
Thank you very much, yes you can see how much has been achieved since we started 🥰
The walled garden is looking great all your hard work is starting to show amazing results!!!
Thank you very much, yes it’s starting to look fantastic 🥰
You are brilliant workers .... not a lazy bone between you all. Always a joy to watch.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Doing great gentlemen! Will be amazing!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
What a pair of gents!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
There is something just so satisfying about cutting out trees, shrubs and extra growth. It lets you quickly see progress and change. Like a haircut. I loved seeing those trees and extra growth come down. The time lapse or 3x time footage was really enjoyable to watch. I liked the stairs when I first saw them, but now I am excited to see them go in. So glad you decided to put the stairs there. I think that is a really sound choice. Thanks so much for sharing your progress. Be sure to show us the chickens here and there. Good Luck to you and yours.
Thank you very much, yes the staircase is perfect in the middle room 🥰
Brilliantly. Hard. Worker.
Thank you very much 🥰
Really enjoyed watching the garden come back to life.
Thank you very much, it’s great to slowly see it come back 🥰
I am absolutely amazed how much Tony knows and does and hard working he is You guys are so lucky to have him
Thank you very much 🥰
Another fantastic video Wow that dirt floor was amazing, looking forward to seeing the stairs being put in and the garden is starting to look fabulous thank you 😊 see you next week 😀

You two are machines! I can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying this channel. Well done all.

Thank you so much 🥰
I like watching the progress you are making. I'll be watching as you progress for the the years coming. Great job. 😀

Love your channel, your great work ethic and your beautiful château! That staircase.....Really hope things go well for the whole family...Cheering you on!!!
Thank you very much, so glad you are enjoying the videos and our journey 🥰
It might be nice in the lobby where the stairs are, if there is enough room, to have some shelves for cookbooks and storage for large pots and pans or even extra dishes..
Thank you, we would like to try and create a little boot room in there 🥰
Au top du top les voisins British!! Et en plus vous roulez du bon coté de la route maintenant!! ;-) Bienvenue chez nous cher voisins, et bon courage pour tous le travail ENORME qui vous attend. Mais ça vaut toujours le cout d'affronter l'adversité. Bises à toute la famille et bonne chance à tous. C'est un réelle plaisir de vous suivre, vous êtes un exemple de motivation pour bon nombre de français.
Well done lads, you’re both working hard and I can see you progress. Fingers crossed it won’t be long before you’re are all together again and can crack on xxxx
Thank you very much, hopefully not to much longer 🤞🥰
Six months later, here I am, just discovering your channel! Keep up the good work guys, curious to see where it goes next!
Thank you very much for joining us on our family journey 🥰
Doing a fantastic job get rid of the 8 legged monsters and I'd be helping you other wise or I'd be working in the garden to 😂
😂 yes that’s why ash is working outside, thank you very much 🥰
Thank you!!!
Just found your channel. Amazing place 😃
Thank you very much 🥰 so glad you can join us 🙏🥰
It's going to be Great! Don't forget to enjoy life a bit...take a break now and then.
Thank you very much, yes ash and Tony have a relaxing football day on a Saturday 🥰
I would love to do what you guys are doing with the chateau it is going to look amazing when it's done and you will have these videos to look back on thank you for sharing this from Glasgow
Thank you very much, that is one of the main reasons we are doing them, as we never really document our work, and to share our journey with you all 🥰
It's coming along wonderfully. The wall garden is looking fantastic. Getting all of the wood worm treatment done is a huge job. Well done guys... ❤🇦🇺
Thank you very much, yes the woodworm treatment is not exciting but essential before all other work can start 🥰
Great job! I highly recomend purchasing a few Piano Dolly's so Tony doesn't have to work so hard to move the scaffolding.
Thank you very much, unfortunately the floor it to uneven 😞🥰
Hard work. Beautiful Reno work
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Your hard work will pay off in the long term. Clearing out the walled garden will make a big difference. I am curious, where do you plan on living when everything is finished, will you have an apartment in the chsteau? Loving the vlog.
Thank you very much, tracy, Tony and Jonathan will live in the cottage, while Terry and ash will live in the third floor of the château and the rest will be rented out 🥰
Lovely truth at beginning of video. My first thought when you cut down trees was free firewood! You are making great progress.
Really enjoying watching your vlogs. Thank you all
Thank you very much, glad you are enjoying them 🥰
I'm really enjoying this journey. Thank you for making it possible to take this journey with you!
Thank you so much for joining us on our family journey 🙏🥰
Looking forward to that for sure! Nice to be able to exchange comments with you! I love what you're doing with your Chateau and grounds. I live in British Columbia, Canada in a small town called Pitt Meadows and the area where you live is so similar to where I live, it's uncanny! Mind you, my so called Chateau is a good size Cape Cod style home on a good size lot, but it would fit inside and outside your Chateau and property 10 times over! I love the space though, so I can only imagine how much you're loving yours!
Thank you very much, so glad you are enjoying our journey and is lovely to hear about your home 🥰
Lots of work, but you sure are troopers keeping at it. Good for you! I can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you very much, we have some big work on the cottage next 😁🥰
Amazing work! Thank you for showing us the details of all the work it’s taking and not just the “tadaaaa, we finished this” 😆… Great Work! 🥳🥰💞
Hi Tony & Ash, great progress! I love the chat at the end of the video, you both are doing such a great job! Love watching your journey. Thank you, take care, stay safe! Kathy
Thank you very much, glad you are enjoying the videos 🙏🥰
Great video. Thanks!
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Looked really good now you have cleared alot of the trees . Still a lot of work to do in the cottage but the progress you are doing is looking great, looks like you will have to replace alot of beams
Thank you very much, yes unfortunately we will have to replace some of them 😞🥰
Looking forward to the end results of the garden cleanup. Nothing tops outdoor beauty.
Thank you very much 🙏🥰
Echoing what others have said already, you are indeed a pair of hard-working dudes! And you are one of the few chateau owners who wear the proper equipment when doing the work!! Do you have a Patreon account?
Thank you very much 🥰 no we do not have a patreon account, we are not to sure at the moment about it 🥰
They could always do buy me a coffee if they are not ready to go down that road. Life With Ryan uses and he lives in France as well as Doing It Ourselves.
Good job all of you its all starting to look really great thanks for sharing your videos I’m loving them as where i am we are in a lock down until May 25 so wonderful. Lucill from BC Canada

Great work guys! I'm definitely going to follow the restoration!
Thank you very much, so glad you can join us 🙏🥰
Well done. You two fellas are real hard grafters.
How about someone as a work away to help you both? 🤔🤔
That's what I was going to suggest. 👍
Thank you very much, we will definitely get work aways as soon as it’s safe to do so with COVID restrictions 🥰
Great seeing all the hard work and care and attention being heaped on you property. Hope you will have places for camping cars in your field when you open.
Tony, I do hope you and your family are going back and watching these older videos. How proud you must be of the progress being made on a daily basis. It is hard to remember the cottage looking like this when you see how beautifully and lovingly it has been restored.
Another great update. Such a delight seeing the Chateau open up with the trees down. (And a wee glimpse of Patrick)
Thank you very much, yes Patrick had he’s little Appearance 🥰
So amazing the great work on the cottage. It should last another 200 years! Also, your production is much better.
Thank you very much, glad you can see we are slowly improving 🙏🥰
Grafters! Excellent work!
Thank you very much 🥰
You guys are always busy. Wonderful job guys, wonderful work.
