Rebuilding The Great Wall At The Chateau. Ep 48
bonjour à tous,
This week at the chateau, its the start of rebuilding The Great Wall Of Lalacelle. Now the foundations have set its time to start with the block work, building up stone by stone and with having 1000 delivered it is a long slow process to get it right, but non of this would have been possible without all the wonderful help from YOU, thank you so much. x
#greatwalloflalacelle
Plus, Terry & Ash do a little more work on Tracys BBQ area, starting to create a new wall and install a solar fountain with what is lying around.

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.

Poor Tony he gets no love. He is such a hard worker.👍
Congratulations on the wall. As a sports injury specialist in Toronto I have to encourage Tony to go get his shoulder treated as soon as possible!!!! At least get a massage. If it becomes a frozen shoulder it is very hard to treat it and it takes six months to a year for a frozen shoulder to thaw/recover. Really liked how you presented the gifts. Nice to see the gifts briefly and acknowledgement of the wonderful people who sent them!!!! Cheers from Toronto. PS I do give out free advice anytime
Just recovering from 10 months of a frozen shoulder. Get it sorted Tony, you don't want to be out of commission for a year. It's not a sore arm, it's basically an arm and shoulder that becomes unusable entirely. I couldn't even lift a glass of water for a few months. It's meant losing a year of my life, not being able to sleep properly etc. I was able to lift my arm long enough with only tiny pain to put my hair up a few days ago and I can't even tell you how much I have missed the use of it. Still probably a few months before it's "normal" again.
I would strongly urge you to have your shoulder examined by a doctor before your shoulder gets worse. Speaking from experience, after years of shoulder pain and a diminishing range of motion, I finally consulted an orthopedic doctor. Scans revealed that I needed surgery, followed by a lot of physiotherapy. Had it done just in time before the problem got worse and I lost the use of my arm. Sometimes, creams, gels, etc., aren’t the solution. We care about your wellbeing, Tony. Cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦
No matter what obstacles you face you always find a way to overcome them, even finding a way to move a thousand blocks from the main road to the secret garden. The wall looks fabulous and it’s amazing how quickly it got put up. A great week for all of you wonderful people 💗💗💗
Tony is the silent warrior in this reno he is your backbone
I love that the chickens are more curious than afraid .
I love that too. I was yelling at the screen "chickens be careful or you become a chicken stew" LOL
Tony is a great worker. He is always there. Has he had a holiday since he moved over? Look after yourself.
💯 agreed!
Such a great time to see that wall being built and lots of happy faces.... Well done guys.. onwards and upwards, Rome was not built in a day so don't break your backs to much, you need to enjoy it too. One day I would like to pay a visit when time allows. You are hard grafters. Take care everyone. Happy Mothers day to your ma, a very hard working,inspirational and lovely Lady Tracey 💐 take care all 💛
Tony please be careful of that frozen shoulder. It can incapacitate you for months. Get some therapy if available locally. It will be money well spent. Take care everyone! You are all doing such an amazing job.
I get so tickled at your hens, they are so nosey and want to see what you are doing and scratching all the new turned over soil 😂. You guys have done so much with rebuilding the wall! Great job everyone!
Great work! Group effort. Quite the milestone (no pun intended) to have La Grand Murialle de Lalacelle rebuilt. Ash and Terry are just such an adorable pair!!
On the water feature you should've put cheese cloth over the holes, then rocks on. Love watching you
This episode is one of my favorites because you all looked so happy and relieved the the wall is going up. It will be better and stronger. No worries of it collapsing. You all have achieved a lot this year and should be very proud and satisfied. I also liked the authenticity of the donkey braying proving that you are out in the country and living your dream. God bless you all.
This is the sweetest family from England,coming to France ,to restore a Chateau.They are doing all on their own.At this time they are fixing a outside wall that fell down.It was very devastating.I would recommend to start from the beginning so you can really see how hard this family has worked and how lovable they are. I think they would love some help. Even if you only have time to watch from getting ready for the Holidays and forward till now.... I recommend it.I watch them everyday.
And GLADLY donating money or anything that’s needed!
You all are amazing, positive, knowledgeable, energetic and the best problem solves I have every seen...
Thank you so much Shirley :)
People are so,so kind sending you such lovely gifts. You are such a lovely family and deserve every thing nice. Take care.xx
Hurrah! The wall is terrific. So sweet of Terry and Ash to put the little water feature in place. Patrick is certainly a good supervisor. Take good care everyone.
I loved seeing how every animal came to investigate! Great job. The commradery you all have working together is fantastic!
Congratulations on the wall replacement! I’m so happy to see your wall being reborn again so quickly and the effects it has on you guys.
Patrick and the chickens are making sure Terry is doing things right..Great collaboration and the wall loves phenomenal, and that little fountain is very quaint, always love a nice water feature.
Hello all, everything is looking promising. Good to see the wall going up. See you Wednesday.
Wow, you people work miracles. You all are wonderful, working so well and hard together. So happy for you that it went so smooth and fast.
Amazing. There is nothing this family cannot achieve together.
Watching these videos always fills my heart with hope and admiration. Your family is an inspiration to all families around the world. Loved the close-up shots of the fountain and insects. Those chickens are as much "underfoot" as Patrick is sometimes:)
The wall was a lot of work but went up way faster than I thought. You all look so relieved and happy. And making the little bubbler for your mum was so nice! I love how thoughtful and kind you are to each other. Many hugs xx
You guys are unbelievable I can’t believe how much you have gotten accomplished! Your family is so inspiring! I had no doubt that you would rebuild that wall as quickly as you could! I’m very happy that I donated.
You’re such an inspirational family. No task too difficult, too big, or too arduous! The progress on ‘the wall’ is fantastic after Terry’s intense disappointment…and it looks beautiful. Well done!
It was actually emotional, seeing the wall come back. I also want to give you a little pat on the back for the fountain!
I just love how wee ‘Patrick’ is always around whenever & wherever you guys are working “just like like a wee foreman overseeing the job!” He always makes me have a wee chuckle seeing him checking things out wherever!! Congratulations to ALL of you for all your hard work - things are all coming along just great👍! Luv from a 🇨🇦 fan 💕.
Your group is so sweet and kind to each other! I love how well you all are just loving to restore this beautiful Chateau.
OMG!! Just crying from Joy in seeing it come to life!! God Bless you all...
Thanks Chris :)
So good that the wall is up! Now you can finish it off slowly. Love the little fountain for Tracey! When the tubs are up and running you need to take Epsom salts baths!! Great for sore muscles!
I love how the animals are always so interested when anyone is digging a hole 🐔🐶🕳️
Amazing how quickly you’ve surmounted such a set back, and with humour and good grace too. The new wall looks smashing, and in the long run will have been more than worth it
What a fantastic week you guys have had, productive and enjoyably rewarding. The wall, the garden, the gifts and seeing it all through together. Beautiful... ❤🇦🇺
We are glad you got the wall going and back to what it was, you guys are work, work and work. Now that spring is here get a fire going and have a family barbecue and relax. We love watching your progress though.
I guess I missed what happened to the old wall.😵💫. I love you added old stones to new wall, it’s honoring history ❤️
I am so glad you are getting to start the wall rebuild.. it will look magnificent when it's finished . 😊❤
What a fantastic job you're doing folks!!! I love to be in on the family chat at the end...it just makes it seem that much more real.
Wow!!! The wall is looking amazing! I know you were heartbroken when it fell and all the work seemed daunting, but you’ve all done marvelous work so the chateau’s beauty can be preserved!
You are all such hard workers and love how interesting each personality is! Love the projects, too!!
I so Love 💗 that Antique old wooden wagon in the background if it could talk ….lol 😊
It’s a blessing in disguise that the wall fell. It is so much more sturdier and safer and looks like the old wall.
I like your idea of building the wall shorter so have better views! I love seeing you open your packages!! Well done to everyone for working hard on the wall!! Love from Vermont
Thank you for your "artistic eye" for the footage. We can always expecr the little moments like the Lady Bug you featured this week. Happy to see your progress and relax with you all.
I just love your channel. So much stuff being done all the time. Much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖
Happy Mother’s Day Tracey! Your guys sure love and appreciate you. Great video and progress as always. Happy for all of you💕
Thanks for yet another episode. Moving forward STILL with smiles.
So Wonderful and Amazing to see Tony 💗
It makes me so happy to see, that the wall is up. What a great team, you are
The wall will be fabulous when it’s finished. A lot of hard work.
Poor Tony, good thing it's all in fun. Take care of that shoulder.
I am so happy to see your wall 🧱 coming along beautifully. Continued blessings upon 🙏 you all. If I was younger and my back was alot younger I would take your invitation to help. I will however become a paying guest as soon as you are ready. Hugs and love from Tucson, Arizona.
Congratulations on getting the wall up! I know your over the moon Terry. As I sit in bed as I’m going through a lot of oral surgery and am medicated, sorry if I’m rambling. Bed rest is dreadful! I look at all you’ve accomplished and am truly blown away! I’m so glad I found your channel. For the last year, I’ve fallen in love with building videos. Especially chateau renovations, my husband teases me, “ oh God she’s watching porn again “ 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m absolutely amazed at what people can do, that they’ve never done before! Blows my mind. My husband is a landscape designer and does installation. If you do or don’t know, my husband wanted to offer some advice that may help you. Trees should be planted 10-15ft apart ( unless that tree type has a guide on the card that’s different) if there a big tree, ornamental trees that stay smaller in height and width 6ft apart. If your doing garden beds, you can tier them with a build up of soil and retain each level with stone walls 2-3 rows high. Put a gradual slant down each tier, for proper drainage. There’s the gardeners rule of 3,5,7,9 etc.. when planting flowers. When doing any type of bed, stagger the flowers instead of straight rows. The first row is typically creepers, or plants that spill down. Tier 2 flowers, and bulbs so you’ll always have something in bloom. Tier 3 your larger plants or grasses,small decorative trees etc.. mixed in with more bulbs that bloom later than the others. You can add up lights, easy to move boulders, or other ornamentals you love. Mulch everything to keep moisture in and help with weeds. When starting any planting projects water every morning early for about 10-15 minutes. Don’t water anything but the ground. If you water in the evening, that water sits and can rot your gorgeous new garden. He’s dictating, sorry it’s so lengthy. Always throw in Osmocote (Amazon) or French version. Then once a year in spring, sprinkle around flowers. We hope that was helpful. PS- He also says if you need to trim bushes do in early spring right before their growing season. And again in October right before they go dormant, if needed. Never during growing season. God bless and stay safe. If you ever have questions feel free to ask. 🇫🇷♥️🌲💐
Great video as always. It seems like now (I've been watching since 1st saw you on another channel before your channel was up) things are starting to come together. Loved seeing some of the old stones going up on the corner of the wall. Glorious. Then to see flowers blooming at the chateau. Amazing shot of the daffodils waving in the breeze. Caravan's are not an (ugh we'll put you up there), they are an opportunity for later to amaze. As a life long camper dragged around the U.S. by parents at 1st, and now an avid glamping aficionado pointing out the bright side of the caravan's could not be avoided. Each caravan it a chance to remodel and decorate by theme and design. Themed caravans is a selling point not a hinderance. A long way off? Likely, but just the same vlog material. Glamping is part of the package you are working to create. With 3 to work your magic on... Opportunity. Just my tarnished 2 cents, but I love watching you all create. So happy to see the smiles.
The wall looks amazing and will be truly spectacular when all the old stones are covering up the concrete blocks! The little fountain is lovely and will be nice when it's all finished with stones. Lovely gifts for lovely people 🤗🇨🇦
As usual another great show You are all adorable My husband & I love you all And your 🐶🐶🐶
Thanks Arpi!
So wonderful the sun’s☀️shining upon the Great Wall 🧱 of 🏰Lalacelle filling the hearts💔with happiness🤗and joy🥰
I am constantly amazed at what you accomplish on the chateau. Congratulations!
So exciting to see the wall and I love that it is lower and you can see the chateau peeking above from ground level! So happy for you all.
You guys are awesome!! So good to see you all smiling again. Phenomenal how the work on the wall has progressed. Take care and rest your backs for a day Sending love to you all xx💖💖
Like the way the chickens 🐓🐔 are helping like the dogs😂🤗The water fountain for Tracy 🤗🤗 the great wall 🤗🤗 Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Wonderful video! You all amaze me with your work ethic! It is a pleasure seeing you all achieve your dreams.
Tony is awesome what a clever man
I spotted your cart, not sure where that came from but looks old! I believe that would have been pulled by a goat and children would drive it around. Now that would make an amazing for ride for Jonathan . He could have his own animal to take care of, get him a cute goat. That would be fun to watch.
Congratulations on getting the wall started, it’s going to be absolutely gorgeous!
I agree with the Epsom salts cure! They can also raise the spirits when your sad. Good for boys going through growth spurts too!
Wow the wall is looking incredible. You all are always so positive in your thinking and you always manage to just keep going with all of your hard work and get the jobs done. Your an amazing family! keep it up!
The walls are looking great. Love the little fountain. It’s just so cute how curious the chickens and dogs are when you are all working outside.
Happy Mothers Day, Tracy.
So happy the wall is coming up.
I love how inquisitive your chickens are ☺️
Wow! The wall seemed to go up so quickly. The new height seems perfect for the wall. Keep up the super work 💪 👏 👌 👍!
Using that paint tub as a reservoir for a solar fountain is genius. Very clever idea. My goodness, have you been lucky with the weather for the wall reconstruction bearing in mind it's March! Dry weather to lay foundations and let the concrete go off, dry terrain for the JCB to pick up the pallets from the field - I was imagining the churned-up mud slide that you would almost certainly have had to create with the digger getting in, picking up the pallets and the turning / reversing out of the field. And then glorious weather for laying the blockwork! They say the sun shines on the righteous 😉 - after the wall collapse you deserved a lucky break 🥰
It was wonderful watching your smiling faces today. I look forward to watching Ash’s arms starting to tan!
loving the outside picture quality
The videos are getting better and better! So enjoy them!
The Great Wall! ❤❤
For frozen shoulder I would watch Dr. Beau Hightower and how he releases the shoulder.
I remember when you were all camera shy,,now you all love it!
Delighted that the wall is going up - fantastic job. Chickens are doing you a great service inspecting all the work 😉 Happy Mother’s Day to Tracy I hope you all spoiled her rotten. 💐🥂🍰
Patrick 🐾🐶overseeing the work like a boss with his assistant’s the chickens 🐓 running around inspecting all of your work🧐🧐 to make sure it’s done properly 😘😘😘
Tony you are awesome!!!
Wow, you look just like your Mum.
What a magical journey all of you are on. If only château de LaSalle could talk,I’am sure it’s weathered many a storm,and celerbrated many happy days too. All of you, are the perfect family to now reside there and call her home.so once again she can show off her beauty. God BLESS ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR NEVER ENDING HARD WORK FOR FURTURE GENERATIONS. ❤
So proud of you all over that wall. Proof that all things are possible. All you need do is put your issues out to the universe, and all will be answered.
I'm still subscribed.... LOVE ALL YOUR HARD WORK ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Monica :)
I think Patrick needs a wee hard hat and a clipboard. Fantastic weather for building the wall hard, hard work but that’s something none of you are afraid of. All the best with the rest😊
The old wooden hand cart is beautiful.
Well done guys 👍 love how Patrick 🐾 & the chooks 🐔are always around , inspecting what your doing 🤗
Energized bunny needs to treat shoulder, they have great medical treatment in France,use it. Could just do three walls with fourth either shorter or with windows in it so as not to block view.
So pleased the bath is in sight...I bet you will all be queuing up! Still up to your necks in hot water but in a much more pleasant way!💞
It's going to be so fabulous to have the Wall done. I hope you can get some help with that along the way. Take care of each other's aches and pains for a new day in the morning 🌄😘. 🤗🇺🇦💙💛💜
So happy for you .. fantastic to see the wall rebuilt. Lovely to have a chuckle along with your good vibes. 👌😁💚
Great job on the wall and the fountain. Happy Mother’s Day 😍😘 Thanks for sharing
Love you guy’s 🥰always positive & smiling 😅where there’s a way there’s a will ! What a wonderful day seeing the wall finished 👏 Take care everyone 🥰💕🎉
Wish I Could send you More 👍💕💕💕
Lots of comments about your poor shoulder Tony, bottom line... you need to get it seen to. I know where Terry gets his “Just” jobs from, YOU! 😂 because I bet you think “I’ll ‘just’ get this or that done then I’ll have my shoulder seen to. Well, hope it hangs in there 😊 I also hope Tracy does rub some pain reliever on you, somebody should! Alexandra, Florida
Happy mothers day Tracy 💓..yet another fabulous family vlog full of happy content.love your banter together .just reminds me of my family. I ,like you are well blessed. Great to see Sacha join yous all and of course Lord Patrick laid on his back flaunting it all 🤣😅😂., I so hope I get a chance to come over to meet you all sometime. See ya Wed. Much live as always .Sue 🤍🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤ xx
The chickens sure do enjoy pecking around in the newly turned earth.
Fantastic!
