The FORGOTTEN Rooms at the Chateau. Ep 59
Bonjour à tous,
This week at the chateau, Ash & Graham carry on work in what will be the kitchen on the third floor, plus get the spare room sorted and what will be the study. each of these rooms have long been forgotten with little work done to them in the last 40+ years. Now with the help of Graham, these rooms are slowly coming back to life.
Terry & Graham tackle the tricky plasterboarding for the kitchen and fit a door to what will be the entrance to the third floor, but Terry may have made a little mistake measuring it.
Plus a massive thank you to ECOFLOW

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.

Do you two boys realize how privileged you are to have both your Dads working along with you? Unconditional love.❤❤💓💓
Ash’s dad is a natural in front of the camera and you all have such a good laugh
My sister is a widowed senior who lives alone in an apartment building. Her town had a tornado a few weeks ago and she was without power for almost 4 days. If she had an EcoFlow she could have kept her android charged so she could keep in touch with her family, run a fan in the hot apartment, tuned into a radio to keep abreast of the news and saved most of the items in her fridge/freezer.
Extra pairs of hands are such a help! Ash’s Father is a huge help isn’t he!
LOL: "We trust your vision...we have to." It is so sweet and precious and rare the way Ash has your back, Terry. He lets you soar and believes in your judgement even though he admits that he himself is flying blind. Graham is such a delight. I have come to believe that the greatest gift you can have as a child, one that sets you up for life, is the confidence instilled by unconditional love from your family. It is obvious that both of you had this. My husband and I had very different childhoods but we both had this and even though we were very different people I think it is one of the things that made our love and our marriage so strong.
OMG.... did Terry just say “I'm straighter than some of the beams” at 19:00? I died!! 😂😂😂 These little gems are what I live for. 😁 Love your whole family’s sense of humor. You all seem to be having so much fun. It's a blast to ride along! ❤️
I love that you’ve stuck with ecoflow and haven’t made money grabs for a ton of sponsorships. Your trusted in what you promote. And only do stuff that your passionate about. Great family, great channel. Ash your dad is awesome 😎 and has a great sense of humor! Graham it’s always nice to see you in the château. ♥️🇫🇷🌼
The love and care that you’re taking to be able to expose those beautiful beams is nothing short of admirable.
Those planted urns look so pretty with the soft lilac shades against the gray of the chateau.
I would love to have such a great family even without the chateau. What wonderful skilled & hard working people.
I like how you have the electrical outlets higher than they do them here in the states. What a blessing to have so many craft persons in the family The door is perfect
Living in hurricane country, one of these would be great to keep a phone charged and an emergency radio going when power fails in a storm.
My husband is a carpenter and has one of those and they are absolutely awesome. He uses it for his job and we use it for camping. They’re so useful. Whoever gets it will be so happy with it.
Wow totally going to check out the sales. We are planning a remodel and my son-in-law and stepdad are doing some of the work. This would be awesome. Also my family loves to go camping when the weather is nice. This would be perfect 🥰
@@Nicky986 You won’t regret it. You can power everything you need.
So glad you added a door to your private space. It will help block sound that can travel up the staircase. It will also act as a reminder when the b & b is up and running that when you are in there it is your down time. Not for the guests to pop in with requests or just to chat. Downstairs working and available. Upstairs finished for the day. Good separation of tasks.
It is so refreshing to have someone recommend a product you can tell they actually love and use. I will be getting one for each of my sons.
As a senior citizen in an extremely storm prone area, the Eco Flo would be great to keep the lights and fridge running during all of the power outages! I think you are all wonderful, working so beautifully together! Keep up the good work and best wishes to you all!
Good on you Graham and Ashley. Terry's hidden work will definitely be appreciated when you can light and power things. A major milestone They're looking like rooms that will be useable soon. Showing the ceiling in the kitchen is fabulous. Great team work. Cheers. Just thinking - the whole 3rd floor plastered. That's a massive task completed.
I love how you leave the old timbers exposed. How exciting so much are your close family is going to live in the Chateau
Greetings from Australia, good to see Ash’s Dad back again, together they make hard work appear easy. I like the ecoflo, truly useful power for outside work, emergencies and parties. The new bedroom will be finished in time I’m sure.
Oh, that door installation.... I instantly thought, with that opening, it would have been an amazing opportunity to do - a secret door!! Fx., If you remember, Stephanie and Phillip bought some beautiful fake book ends, and something like that would have looked so nice! You could have set it up, as just a little, innocent reading nook, at the top of the stairs 😃 Ah, soo many ideas... 😂 And it would have been a little fun, that the owners would go upstairs - and "disappear" magically! AND, it would turn your appartment, into the secret headquarter!! 😂
I can think of so many things this could be used for with the scouts, when they go to camp,canoe afternoons, very" high tec" backwoods cooking and so much more
It’s all really taking shape now…..when you think of your first days there….what a difference! X
Newly retired and would take it cross country with me while staying at camp grounds. Nice job on the kitchen. So nice to have family like Graham helping out. Thanks for sharing 😍😘
I just love how the entrance to the Chateau looks now. With its now door and repairwd stairs. The door to the third floor was a great addition too!
Ahhhh... FINALLY we see what gets Ash REEEEEALLY amped up! (Pardon the pun) ☺️🌟 Honestly, I can't express enough how much I love that you all really support and discuss sustainable and Eco options for things. You already were my favourite Chateau channel, but your low key promoting and inspiring changes like that as influencers makes me so happy. 🥰
Those EcoFlow chargers seem like a really good idea. My husband and I were discussing the different ways we could use them. He does handyman work for others and could benefit from using it on jobs where power isn’t readily available. Also, several years ago our area was hit by massive tornadoes and we were without power for several days. That would have helped us immensely at keeping phones charged to keep in touch with others, and using a larger one might have prevented food loss from lack of fridge or freezer. I lost nearly 30 quarts of blueberries that year! Ash does a great job representing this product!
"I'm straighter than some of these beams!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Best KZhead quote of the year so far 🥰
Great to have the door to the foyer hung. It is another big step to getting the third floor more like a cozy home. 👍 Another great episode and great progress. What a hard working and inspirational family 👏👏
You've got a fair bit of sanding in the those beams. It took me a week to do ours just in one of our bedrooms. So worth it though, they are gorgeous now!
Graham and Terry, "6 hours" lol. Great work on the door. Everything looks wonderful!
I'm an active 70yr old gardener, and I have a shed full of electrical tools, instead of new battery powered ones. One of those would be so handy for those yard projects that are far from the house! I get inspired watching you guys tackle all this renovation yourselves. And I love seeing how you are working to highlight the beautiful beam structures, instead of hiding them. I share your love for those beautiful details. I've followed you since your first month on KZhead, and your channel gets better every episode. I can't wait to see the rooms come alive with Terry's vision...and everyone's hard work. Love you all!
Those Ecoflow units look fabulous. Ideal for so many jobs in case of power cuts or if you need power on the go. Great for people who have medical needs who are normal stuck in . Peace of mind that you'll never be stuck. Will definitely be saving up for one x
While the Ecoflow looks amazing to me I hope someone who has more use for it than me (too old) wins it. More happy banter and laughing as the work moves on. The beams are going to be a major feature. Never one to take the easy way out with the door Terry, your attention to detail will pay off. Thank God Graham is loving helping with the renovations. A big hello from Australia to you all.
I love the way you guys take special care of a château make sure that you’re paying attention to every little detail that makes this place special and magical there is nothing more pleasing than to see people that actually care about the building and the joy that’s the building itself. I’m very proud of you all and I thank you for allowing me on this journey with you . Always love and blessings
Terry is a perfectionist. You can see that's how he is 'wired'. It's sometimes stressful being like this as your brain is working overtime all the time. I hope you have some destress strategies to keep you ticking over.
The door on the front entrance of the Chateau looks absolutely beautiful!! Love that view!
I have been looking at the Ecoflows for a while, My husband and I would use them for our Camping adventures and as you are doing on our renovations of the house. they just look so easy to use and would love to not have extension cords running everywhere to trip over while we are building stuff. For our camping it would be a game changer, not to mention that with the price of fuel and electricity here having that would cut costs.
I am restoring a 160 year old home in Ohio. We don’t have power in many of the spaces right now, so something like this would be amazing.
I live in Michigan, USA. We are being told to prepare for power disruption this summer. There are to be rolling blackouts, Brown out, and temporary power disruptions. So I certainly would be glad to have one of the ecoflow units to power what electrics I need. I will be 76 in another month and a half and I would like to be able to not be a burden on other people when these disruptions happen. Thanks again, and continue your endeavor to restore your chateau and property. I enjoy seeing your family working so well together to accomplish the restoration.
Hi Terry, Ash & Graham, wonderful progress! Graham is a gem! You guys have such a good rapport, I love your sense of humour! What a generous give-a-way, we would use it for a small fridge for camping, we go on family outings, so I can see it being very useful. I live in Canada, so I don't think I would be eligible, but good luck to everyone! Thank you for sharing, take really good care of yourselves, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖 (Canada)
I love your family. I love how you all pull together to make this dream come true. If we had an Ecoflow we would use it when the power goes out (which is often in our neck of the woods).
Single mum with my 14 year old helping me clean out my attic/ ceiling with 90 years of dirt, rubbish and no electricity, would be so helpful, and taking my son fishing and heating up an electric blanket 😊 but I’m in Australia so perhaps to far away. Lovely gesture and so thoughtful
You all have so much loving tender care poured into this home, making it look beautiful even before the paint and furnishings go in. Love what you are doing. I would use the unit to power my lights, phone and laptop at night time to save on the ever-increasing electric bills. Not forgetting to recharge the rechargeable batteries.
I admire anyone that takes on a project so expensive. I feel my eyes water at what the structural engineers quote alone was to fully survey. N then once ready to proceed, it takes determination,luck ( surprises round every corner) n bit of good old fashioned madness to persevere.!! Foundation n structure& roofing first! Manor restoration s a labour of love...n takes years...best advice,Enjoy the process!!! Every good wish to you and your family. *(Stay safe xx)
Gosh, the Ecoflows would be so helpful in a ton of instances! I love the way you guys are using yours! I could imagine using these to keep the animals cool inside the house during power outages in the middle of summer or warm during the outages in the middle of winter. That's a great idea to keep a mini fridge powered as well to keep drinks and food cool! I have an RV and could definitely use one to power lights, fans, computers, etc., while off grid.
That door was so well fitted in. I’d love to have a view of the whole thing. Didn’t you have to add some more to the bottom. I also admire how you worked so well together. You had the same vision in your heads and knew what to do when like clockwork.
Again, Wow. There seems little that you all cannot do. Third floor is really coming together. Graham is such a capable and cheerful man to have with you guys. That door looks amazing now and can't wait to see it when you're done with it. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
It would help tremendously with our home renovation. While our little house isn’t on the chateau scale, we’re doing it all ourselves like you guys and there are windows without power. With a toddler in the house, time without power is stressful!
We’d use it for keeping our daughter’s medication refrigerated while travelling- game changer!
Wow, all the hard work is paying off. Can't wait to see the rooms finished:))
Great work yet again guys !Just love your chat position with the plants potted up in the background! 👊👊👊👏👏👏👍👍👍💜
At 72 I really enjoy watching you saving part of the history of humanity. It would be great to own a power generator, especially after to losing my husband of more than 52 years of marriage on 1/28/2022. Our dreams have been dashed but life goes one and so do my work on our 160+ year old farm house on 10 acres on restoring this old treasure.
You guys are amazing! The amount of work and the skill sets you either had or developed is incredible! Everything is coming along so well. Take care.
I was just searching for your original video where you talked about the ecoflow. I wanted one of the portable ones like Terry has for when I’m camping or working in the yard. I’m also looking at the bigger one Ash uses for my house, so I can keep my freezer going in case of power outages. You & your family are just amazing & so much fun to watch your progress & meet family members as they pop over to help &/or visit 🥰.
What a team.....the place is coming along so fast. I can't believe how much you have done in such a short space of time!! I hope that you give us a room by room tour of the upper floor when you are done....what a fabulous job! Terry, you certainly have an eye for detail and it is really paying off as everything is pristine! You did a very inventive job on the door and once stained will totally blend in. Again, well done!! Love how there is so much laughter in all of your videos.
Great job on the drywall and finishing it. Love the exposed beams. I could use the ecoflow because I have chronic heart issues and live very rural and stay in constant fear of losing power , I want to stay warm or cool and for my elderly house dog (my baby) lol. Plus keeping my phone charged during power outages. God bless you all.
For the last year and a half my husband and I have been converting our old Chevy G20 van into a camping van. We're on a tight budget so we've had to work when we can afford supplies and make our money count. We're almost done with the van and I think we're going to love it. But, one thing we struggle with is a power source. We can't afford a full solar setup so when I saw your video I said oh my gosh this would be perfect for us.We could really put this to good use. Thank you so much for offering everyone this opportunity and for giving us so much joy with your videos. I live vicariously through you and wish you all the best.
Here in Ottawa we have just been through a horrendous storm and we were all out of hydro for 1-10 days for some. what a handy thing to have to at least power your phone and run a few things. We had to power our phones in the car and in my apartment building some cars were stuck because the doors wouldn't open. Stores were closed and people were really struggling. Thanks for your offer. Love your show, never miss a one.
Graham’s skill sets and knowledge of work to being done are a joy to see. The power machine I’d use when we have rolling power outages here in California. At 70+ I’d be using the power from the machine to keep our refrigerator, freezer, cooling fans, computer, phones, and power tools charged.
I am a disabled artist, I carve Real egg shells like Ostrich & Emu eggs. I live in the desert of California USA where we get temps of up to 115f (46c). This past week we have been at 106f (41c) most days, my small home does not have central air conditioning, and I have to use portable room A/C. It costs me more than $200usd to run one of them for a month (only during the daytime). It would help me so much to have a solar unit like that. Anyway, I so enjoy watching your videos and I would LOVE to come to France and help you guys with the restoration. I truly love to watch the interactions with you (Terry) and Ash, makes me want to find a relationship again.
I’m excited to try this brand. I would use one of these chargers to facilitate work we’re planning on doing in our attic space in the next couple of months. Also take it on our long road trip later this year. Thanks for introducing us to this brand. It’s great to see how you’re using them. Amazing work quality as usual. You’re all such an inspiration.
Nicely done Graham, Terry and Ash! Looks great! Ecoflow seems wonderful! We have been looking for something like that for sometime to take for over night trips of camping for my husband’s CPAP and of course charging our phones and such. I asked my husband and son to investigate it as a possibility. Just last week we had a power outage at home that was scheduled maintenance from our power company, oh that was tough! We live in rural northern coastal California and we get power outages here too frequently! Blessings to you all! Look forward to every episode!
I do a lot of diy projects and love my battery powered tools. Sometimes I need the power of an electric drill or saw but don’t have power where I am working. Ohhhhh the things I could do with one of those!!!! Great work all of you.
The work you’ve done so far is remarkable - the Ecoflow is a great asset every home should have one 😀
I work as a Stonemason and most of the jobs I work on don’t have power yet or if they do it’s just a temporary pole that is shared between the different tradesmen so the small power supply would be really helpful. My family and I also camp very often in remote areas in the Southern Appalachian Mts. and could really use one the Solar setups with portable power supply. I can’t believe the amount of progress y’all have been able to make on your property so far but the real reason my wife and I love your channel is the loving family dynamic that y’all share with us. Y’all are a great example of how a family can work and live together while sharing an incredible family bond. I almost forgot to say your planters are beautiful and Ash did a bang up job on the garden steps. They look like they were installed yesterday and the planters match the motif of the chateau grounds like they are original.
I would use the little eco when we have tornado's here in the USA in the Midwest.....I could keep my phone and computer charged up - along with a light to keep track of the weather. I also think it would be a great tool for a camp out!! So cool you have them for the Chateau and grounds!!
It's so awesome to see your passion for the Ecoflow! It makes me want one for the converted van I'm planning to do as soon as I can afford a van. :D
Brings joy to see you both working together with your fathers.
How I enjoy watching and learning from your wonderful family as you restore this gem of a chateau that has patiently waited for 40 years for you to bring her lovingly back to life. I have learned so much from your projects, ideas, and enthusiasm as I work to restore our own home. The products from ECOFLOW are amazing at best. Living in a rural area how great the ECOFLOW power sources would be for power tools, lights for outbuildings or greenhouses, or even a cooling fan to keep the ladies (chickens) cool on hot days. Thank you for introducing the products to your viewers!
Terry well done on the plastering, looks amazing 🙏🏻
I live in the southern US and hurricanes are yearly an issue. Power outages are common. I like this so much more than a diesel generator that's loud and the fumes are horrible. This is perfect. After the storm passes we can be days without power but the sunshine returns so being able to solar charge is amazing.
I live in South Africa and would love it for when the power goes out for 9 hours a day when the power supplier does what they call loadshedding. As a pensioner and with the high crime rate it would be perfect for me to have some light and be able to charge a cell phone.
A generator like this would be perfect for my sailboat. My marina has no electricity, and solar is expensive and labor intensive to install on a boat. A small stowable generator would power a small fridge, anchor light, interior lights, my phone, and my computer. I love the simplicity of these smaller genies. Thanks for sharing this awesome product with us.
I must look into getting one of the ecoflow units for when the family come over and we go camping to the coast. Love the idea of power 'on tap' x
Our daughter loves to come outside with us when we do our gardening. She was born very sick, had a stroke at 8 months old and is in a wheelchair. She loves to play video games and listen to music. It would be great to keep all her video games and iPods charged for her when she moves about in her chair.
My family goes camping with our four small grandchildren and having one of these power stations would be a life saver. Thank you and thanks ECOFLOW for giving us a chance to win
Wow, you are progressing so far. It's great your direct family are helping you too when they can. Looking fantastic, it's almost like I've missed a vlog....🙂 Those power packs look great. I might invest in one for my Convoi exceptionnel van, when time allows. A great vlog guys.... continue the good work ❤
Those stairs with the urns and flowers are so perfect!
I’m a northern American and find your low keyed emotions so familiar and heart warming. I think you are all so amazing. 😊❤
I would love this for my husband to have power in his shed, instead of having extension cords all over the garden which is a trip hazard for me, I’m not steady on my feet and stay in when he’s working. I love watching your videos ❤️🇬🇧
Wonderful patience Graham great detail work . You are both so fortunate to have great parents that help so much
These young men were brought up right, strong work ethic. Parents dont send your kids into the world as dumb as a box of rocks.
Hi everyone thanks for the chance to win this fab product. I am a nursery school teacher. We use music in the garden for the children to dance to and stories. This would be an amazing help when we are out on trips or at the bottom of our garden where the extension lead won’t reach. Eco flow sounds like a life saver. Have a happy week everyone. Xxx
I am disabled, love to do crafts, gardening and I am building a dollhouse. One of those things would make it so I wouldn't have to transfer back and forth from my wheelchair to from a plug, for my devices and tools I use, it would be wonderful. Thank you for sharing and the wonderful videos.
Dear Terry and Ash, We have enjoyed watching all your projects and doing some catch up. As in the last month starting watching you all in your day to day tasks. We feel a part of your family and being there. We live in California. U.S. and electric is really costly and occasionally goes out. Having a great power back up would be wonderful. Our best regards, Robert & Jun
Wow, would love the mini. Would be fantastic for tossing in the back of a vehicle to use tools when away from other power sources. Also for power outages from storms.
I go camping at completely off grid beautiful place campground on Hornby Island British Columbia. Me mom is in her 70’s and with my back have this would save us so many long trips to charge things while we camp. More time to enjoy the views. Love it, for sustainable way to enjoy modern life on the go. Cheers🥂🍻
Looks amazing! My son is building a cabin in the woods. Would be ideal for him to charge his tools and equipment! Can't believe how hard you all work! Where do you find your energy?
I would love a Ecoflow mini for two reasons. I’m soon to embark on a house build and can foresee so many uses for one, similar to yourselves. The second reason is for my nephew who’s in an electric wheelchair and we’ve been caught out a few times when his battery has run low (mostly when he’s been charging around at full speed using it up - well he is only 11) and having a power bank with us on trips out would be a great back up. You are making such great progress with the renovations. I love seeing when your families come over to lend a hand. Can’t wait to see you finis out your own quarters.
I would love one of those for myself because I live alone and have no car so when the power goes out and it does this time of the year here I would not have a panic attack losing power because I have a breathing machine that has to be plugged in . Good luck everyone ❤️🙏🏻
Hello from Montana,USA.I would use the Mini when we have a power outage. It happens several times a year. I would also use it when I need power tools in the yard. Thank you for posting your wonderful videos!
We love camping and we don't always use electric hook up if it is only for a few nights, with this we could keep our mini fridge/freezer going so our Huskey can camp with us all the time, plus for hiking or on the beach with the grandkids, we could take our electric BBQ and it could run the doggy shower so everyone could rinse off at the car and the car stays clean, the uses are endless, these are the few that instantly came to mind, making memories with all the mod cons!
I became a widow a few years ago and after some thought about what I would like to do with my life now without my husband, I decided to buy a 16 ft camper, Used. Come to find out it had a lot of water damage. So I've started tearing it apart and I am hoping to be able to have it totally off grid and none toxic to the environment. I am putting a lot of effort into finding reclaimed light weight wood for it. As it has a weight limit of course. But when it's doneI think I'd like to up to the mountains in Maine where I am originally from and live off the land. My husband would have loved that!!!!
Your efforts are really paying off!!! 😊❤️💗🇨🇦🇫🇷🌺🌻🌸
The Ecoflow would be amazing for charging my drill/sander and saw so I don’t have to run back to the house ! ❤️from🇨🇦. Doing amazing work!
Looks like us seniors all need one of those. Would be a god send when power goes out for sure!
Hi guys. Greetings from Southern Burgundy. These power units look to be amazing. I would use it to do work on my property in places where there is no electricity without dragging very long extension cables. Keep up the good work!
I live in a 36 foot, 1981 vintage trailer that I renovated. It's in an old growth forest in Washington state in the US. Every winter brings power outages from snow storms. Often, I am snowed in, so I can't drive somewhere else. When the power goes off, I bundle up with extra layers of clothing and wait about 3 hours for the power to come back on. I don't have a generator, because they are too heavy for me to lift, so these products would be just right. It would be nice for running a space heater and charging my phone.
Oh Guys...just the view behind you with the restored Stone Pillars, Chateu Doors etc...it tells how far you and Family have come...i love such old Buildings, if they could talk they would have to tell such incredible Storys...you Guys are very skilled Craftsman for such a Restoration...you should open up a Buisness...👍👍👍👍Love from Germany, Dagmar
I would love a Mini River Flow because I live through multiple power outages here in my little forest and abundant storms!!! As recently as last week I was without power for a full week.
We have hurricanes quite frequently in Louisiana. These type items to power small items like a fan or tiny refrigerator are super! These are safer and better for the planet than gas run generators.
