You both work long and hard for your Chateau inside and outside. The tour of the Cathedral was gorgeous so much detail so many statues line the wall prayers have been said for generations. So very beautiful and Blessed. Thank you for another enjoyable video❤
Our pleasure!
Re: Winchester. Something about how you showed us bits of it enables me to understand how these old buildings get entwined in your lives, and your lives become entwined in it. Good work, you guys!
Thank you 😊
For the hallway doors I think white with cream accents. That order would look the cleanest to me. Regardless what you pick though, your work is simply stunning! The Chateau is lucky to have gotten you to care for it
You do such a good job with the camera work, Adrian. Slow enough for us to enjoy and not get sick. I'm happy, but not surprised, to see your subscriber numbers growing.Good job!
Awesome, thank you!
Carole and Adrian you show what tremendous work is involved in keeping up a Chateau from the outside in! Your channel is a tribute to all your hard work but what a great legacy/diary to leave for your children and grandchildren to peruse in the future.❤️❤️❤️
That entrance hallway is just looking great already!!! So bright and clean. I just love it.
Thanks so much!
It was a lovely Cathedral. Rich in detail. Love and Respect from Norway.
I love historic buildings! The Winchester cathedral is a lovely example of preserving a nations' history through the landmark buildings. The hallway is glowing with new life. Those sconces are marvelous. Once the chandelier is installed, the hall will delight. What a welcome for guests upon their arrival! Love the walled garden. The warmth radiating from the rock walls, as well as the shelter, create such a beautiful space for growing food. You'll have to plant more strawberries though to appease the appetite that you and Adrian have for them! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
The sconces look terrific. Waiting to see which chandelier you get for the hall (am actually most eager to see how the stairwell ends up!).
The hallway looks so much nicer already the sconces are perfect. Lots of yard work this week the grounds are starting to look better as well with the overgrowth tamed along the walls. Thanks for the tour of the cathedral makes me miss traveling in Europe.
Only a plane trip away! 😊
Also, so glad to see you tacke the doors! With the dining room and salon so stunning, the outsides of the doors really felt wrong. And I am sure it is so much nicer to come home into a bright and clean hallway that is not a manifestation of a gigantic to-do list.
You both are working so hard and doing amazingly. The cathedral was stunning. The architecture is incredible. The entire cathedral has been through many tough times and yet remains a pious place of worship. So glad you guys got out to enjoy it. Beth, thanks for the editing.❤
We agree!
Every video I’m so surprised that it’s just 2 of you doing all this work. Together you are an army of 10
When this chateau is finished, it is going to be the most beautiful renovated/ restored chateau in France. Every project done by Adrian and Carole it is done with love and the right way no matter how much time it takes them to do it or how hard it is to do it. They make a great team and they know how to do the job or they research how it should be done. They really do their work with pride. It is my favorite chateau renovation to watch. I love to see what Carole will find when she " invite us" to shop with her posting the videos. ❤
Thank you Pabla. Might be a while until it’s finished 😊
I just thought I wrote that. Damn it! 🤦♂️
I agree
Loving the architectural details in the Cathedral 😍 My son jokingly said he would buy some land and call it Wessex, he would become King Cadin. I laughed at that. Then I see both of you achieving your dreams and renovating your Chateau so lovingly. Never know what one can achieve . Hugs ❤️ from Canada. PS. Hope you found some more strawberries 🙂
Eventually found. But didn’t get the best ones 😂
Carole, I’ll say it again, your workmanship is outstanding, the entry hall is already looking pristine, Wow! Loving the solid neutral, whites, grays, creams, in the hallway, no fuss, clean & classic, there’s so much detail in hallway already.…but doing a dramatic wall covering at the end, where the main staircase in..would draw your eye in……
I love your channel and @chateautenberghe. You are restoring your castle and they are maintaining one that's been in the family for 18 generations. I appreciate what each of you are doing because I see what the other has to do.
Thank you, Carole, for sharing the number and name of the paint color. It looks so great in the hallway. Amazing what some TLC and hard work can accomplish. Each new episode showcases your dedication and efforts, and the chateau looks more and more inviting.
Thank you so much!
The hall is definately looking so much better
Thank you 😊
Loved the thumbnail image Beth. Adrian this may sound odd but every time you are working in the cellar I truly admire the stone walls, the are just beautiful. Carole, I don't blame you for not liking to sand, you have done more sanding in the Grand Salon than most people do in a lifetime. I know you will sand more even if not right now. Thank you for sharing the architecture from your trip.
The hallway looks so bright - it was a dungeon before!
The Winchester Cathedral is stunning. The architectural details of the ceilings, walls, altar and stained glass windows are magnificent. Thank goodness it’s being cared for and preserved. Your hallway is looking bright and happy. The moldings and doors are exquisite and I love the sconces. Good job Adrian, with cleaning up the drive area from the front gate. In time that area can be made beautiful as you arrive to the front entrance of the chateau. xx
And I got to enjoy the glorious sunshine 😊
Loved the visit to the cathedral. Spectacular! The progress is steady! (I still think you could have a side hustle with the demi-lune coat hooks attached to vintage oak boards!)
Agreed sanding is a long drawn out process but it looks good after its done! yeah!
Happy to have been able to catch the premiere! Great video and the progress in hallway is amazing!❤
Yay, thank you!
Thank you for sharing the Beautiful historic cathedral ! The hallway is so light and bright and beautiful as everything you do in your chateau !
the halway is already looking beautiful with the paint on the doors so bright and the cathedral is beautiful to see wow love English history and the old churches and castles it is a beautiful old city thanks for sharing 😊🐈⬛🌹🌼🌺🌷
looking good Carole , missing some gold 🤣 looks so much brighter x
I know!!
I ❤ the old stone buildings in England! So stately and lovely. 👍👍👍 on all accomplishments made today, Adrian and Carole.
We agree!
I caught a glimpse of the L'occitane shop! Japanese cherry blossom has been my favorite for years. Doesn't take much to excite me, does it? Lol. You both are doing so much work; you deserve a break. Your hallway is looking fabulous!
I look forward to each & every new video u share. U 2 work so well together, and i enjoy seeing everything that u both get done on ur wonderful home.
Thank you so much!
The hallway and floors are coming along.Will be beautiful when you are done.Thank you for the tour of the Cathedral so stunning.
You are so welcome
The hallway is amazingly beautiful already. Enjoyed.
Thanks so much 😊
Merci pour cette belle visite de Winchester, magnifique !
Absolutely loved the video of Winchester Cathedral!
I enjoyed the work done at your home and the beautiful tour in the UK! The hall is looking wonderful!! It will be so exciting when it is finished! The daughter has oh so pretty hair!!
Adrian, please share the secret for getting rid of the bamboo!
Yes please do !!!!
I am being overtaken by bamboo I definitely need this secret pretty please
Gallup XL from eBay in Ireland
With the bamboo, I used a reciprocating saw with a 3 tooth/inch blade to cut the roots in small chunked sections. I then lifted them using a garden fork to leverage them up. They are a bear to deal with and I found just setting a goal of a 2'x3' section each day helped. It also meant I didn't burn out with it. Unfortunately, if you wait till you get a digger they will only continue to spread and make the job even bigger. On a happier note, the hallway is looking so nice. Love the sconces.
Loved Winchester!
Wow, that cathedral is incredible! I cant believe construction began in 1001!! That is so long ago! The town looks really nice there too. I agree with another subscriber Linda, you did the videoing really well there Adrian. The hallway looks great so far Carole, must be mentally tough doing this fiddly work. Xx Kelly
Les orties sont de l’or pour le jardin. Un engrais fabuleux. Et les jeunes pousses en soupe ou en cake. En ce qui concerne les bambous, c’est bien compliqué... à part pour faire des tuteurs, je les coupe dès qu’ils sortent pour limiter l’invasion. Bon courage et merci pour vos vidéos charmantes. Nathalie le Relais de la Perle,
80k, good job guys… Well deserved!
Thank you so much 😀
What a hard work. Your enthusiasm is admirable.😎😎👍👍
What a magnificent cathedral! Thank you for the tour! The town also looks very beautiful und interesting. As for your work on the château you are both doing extremely well and turning it into a real gem!
Many thanks!
Had to watch this one twice.
It seems strange doesn't it ,that they could do something like that with no equiptment ,All done by sweat and tears . And we ,some of us ,struggle to mow a lawn hahaha
Too true ! 😂
Beautiful your a wonderful couple
Thank you!! 😊
Lovely to see Winchester again - I grew up there and would like to go back and visit it again one day
Loved the cathedral!!! The archature of the vaults was impressive especially the jointing designs! Also fascinating how the arches on the outside wall remind you of Notre Dame de Paris. They are wise to have set up CCTV in case of the same happening to their church building. Found the display of the "organ 30 year restoration project" interesting. As an organist, having 5,500 pipes in a pipe organ indicates it's a medium sized one...Most pipe organs average between 3,000 (for a 2 manual - keyboard) and 10,000 (for a 4 manual) pipes. Perhaps to put it into context, a minuscule portable pipe organ has 1 to 2 dozen pipes and only 1 manual. The sound is often 'tinny' and sounds sort of 'artificial'. It measures about 6-8 feet high by 3 feet wide. These types are used for practice or for specific high sounds. Some of the largest organs have 7 manuals and over 33,000 pipes! The more pipes there are, the better the choice of sounds. 30 years of renovation means the project is costly and rightly so. You want the best in the business to do the best job. When you next visit a church with a pipe organ, don't just take for granted that the pipes above the organ console (cabinet that houses the manuals, pedals and sound stops boards). Behind those decorative pipes are 3 to 7 levels of upright pipes, all of different heights and diameter, that make the sounds of the organ. The shorter and thinner the pipe, the higher the sound. The longer and wider the diameter the graver the sound. Each "family" of pipes are grouped together. For example the flutes are together: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 foot pipes give you a mellow sound at 8 feet while the 32 foot pipe resonates like a vibrating massage chair in you. The other families of pipes and sounds are: principals, reeds, mixtures and strings. I've had the privilege of playing on a small, 11th century organ in southwest UK. The organ cabinet was set at the entrance of the altar section of the sanctuary while the pipes were located at the far end of the church and a 19th century one with 3 manuals in Quebec, Canada. Both were exhilarating experiences. There is a certain "breathy" sound that never truly leaves an organist's mind - once you've played a pipe organ, digital is somewhat comparable but doesn't do quite justice to "the real thing". The best thing about digital is that the pipes never need tuning.....the down side is that a lightning strike or power outage can mess with its memory and turn your next organ concert upside down! The best thing about pipe is that rich, breathy voice that resonates through your fingers and feet. And the fact that as long as the pump pushes air through the pipes and your fingers release the valves to put air through their valves then you need not worry about lightning strikes.😊
Thanks for info for everyone to read. Very interesting and mind blowing. 😊
Thank you so much for the tour of the Cathedral. it is almost to much to take in. Then all the stained glass window. Now you go back and work on your master of art. I feel blessed to have found you and can go along with the progress. Joyce USA
Glad you enjoyed it
The hallway walls and doors look beautiful. I see pale blue with cream trim? So bright and cheery. And, the scones are perfect. Beautiful job.
Thanks so much! 😊
Hi Carole, Adrian & Bethany, the Cathedral is stunningly beautiful...I never tire of seeing all the architecture. Love the music...great choice. Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x 💖💖
Glad you enjoyed it!
the plant was too far away to see - but it might be a sedum (they come in many shapes and sizes)
You two really are dauntless - I don't know where you get your energy. It's a huge project and a real labour of love. Thank you also for taking us on some lovely tours - Winchester Cathedral is a national treasure.
Our pleasure!
Amazing cathedral. I had a very old vintage 3d paper Christmas card depicting the arches of this exact church.
Loved the tour of the magnificent cathedral! You such a great job filming, Adrian! Several yrs ago I stayed in Verge tot France in the Normandy are for a month. My favorite two places were the Clooney Museum and Cathedral of Charter with the breathtaking rose medallion stained glass window! Your cathedral appeared very similar. I started reminiscing! Thank you for your hat work to save this chateaux and your vlogs are apprefiated. I look forward to Wed. and Sundays. I get tired watching the both of you! 😚😀😉
I’m glad you enjoyed the tour!
Every thing 19:26 looks great. What a ton of work. The Cathedral is amazing. The maintenance of a building that size and age must be enormous. I am from Las Vegas,NV in USA. Our practice is to tear it down and build new. It’s so marvelous to see the ancient beautiful architecture.
Yes once it’s gone. it’s gone forever. Such a shame!
Hi Carole & Adrian, This one had a bit of everything, indoors and out at the Chateau and the spectacular interiors of Winchester Cathedral in the UK. Mark & Scott
Adrian, great work in the basement and with that terrible bamboo👍. Carole the hallway seems to get more and more spacious with each painted element, it's hard work, but the effect is already surprising, and when you're done it will be great👌. It's good that you have so many rooms, there is plenty of room for workshops. A great trip, and the cathedral is beautiful, the mastery of old craftsmen, it's a pity that today, no one today has such a sense of beauty from today's builders, fortunately, such wonders of old architecture have remained.💚💚💚
I was so excited to see your video after a long day of work!!! I just love it all! And thanks for always moving the camera slow. I watch so many videos that make me motion sick 😂
Amazing difference in the hall already! Loved the music for cathedral tour, Beth. Great video as always. Thanks all
You are so welcome!
Yay! It is looking so bright and beautiful!! Thank you for the amazing Cathedral tour!! Love you guys to pieces!!! As always Hugs from Utah!! USA❤
Our pleasure!
You guys are some of the hardest working people I’ve ever seen! How you have fearlessly tackled this massive plot of land and are slowly taming it is nothing short of amazing. My hat is off to you. Looking forward to seeing you further refine your beautiful chateau and estate.🌹
Wow, thank you!
What an amazing Cathedral. So beautiful. The Chateau is coming along beautifully. The hallway is such a bright and inviting space. The care, attention to detail that you have put into every detail will ensure that generations to come will see the beauty that you have restored.
Thank you so much!
Carol you need a fountain like that one at the very beginning of the cathedral
You are like my father always filming us from behind!
Wow that hall looks so much bigger with the sun shining in, the muck washed off, and the first of many layers of prep, prime, and paint! Any upcoming festivals where the town is asking permission to park on the field?
We have lots of events in July. All using the fields
Carole I sympathise with you, I'm sanding our cottage stairs and landing. The sanding is taking forever so I'm breaking it up like you and have started undercoating as I go. Adrian thanks for taking us along to Winchester it was beautiful, I love the history. ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed Winchester! 😊
Love the lamps and shades with the tie backs!! Great job Adrian cleaning up and cutting down! Y’all are quite a team🎉
Thank you! 🤗
I'm restoring my ranch alone and am partially handicapped with disc issues in my back - I laughed at the chaos on the kitchen - Reminded me of the horror I am facing out in my greenhouses and garage ;>) I'm fighting ornamental bamboo and wondered what you were advised to do to kill it - You two are making good progress - Keeping me inspired to keep at it with my little ranch/farm here ;>)
Was told Gallup XL from eBay!
Thank you for sharing the Winchester Cathedral with us. It is breathtakingly stunning and beautiful! 💖✨
It really is!
The chateau is coming along beautifully.
Wonderful video. The entry way looks so bright, cheerful and elegant. And thanks for showing us the Cathedral.
Our pleasure!
I envy your creativity. Love your chateau
I know keeping expenses down is a major problem with a remodel but y’all really need to hire a kid 15-18 years old to come a couple of hours every month or every other week to help with the yard. It gets out of control fast even if you were not also rebuilding a chateau from the ground up.
I absolutely love history and buildings. Thanks for the tour... if it were me doors white with cream accent... Adrian Yard looks so much better
That’s a beautiful color combination for the hallway. Beautiful and bright !
Thank you! 🤗
Nice camera work in the Cathedral
Oh my dear!! My first time in an English Cathedral? Is it the company in Bath that restore that organ? I met a music teacher in China who's Father owns that organ builder and restorer company. What a rich history! Generations already in the business. Glorious building. So thankful I could see it. Thank you and Best wishes.
The Cathedral is awe inspiring! Wow! ❤
It is amazing how they builted those cathedrals and churches without the technology we have today. I wanted to be an architect. It is such a creative field. Thank for sharing this video and let us see part of England's history.
Very interesting to me to see Winchester as I am such a fan of “The Last Kingdom”! Never wanted that whole series to end!
Oh my the Cathedral tour was so awe-inspiring! Thanks for sharing. Must say I’m also inspired by your hard work, with a good dose of good spirits. Always look forward to your vlogs 😁😁
You are so welcome!
I loved the tour of the Cathedral, it is beyond extraordinary, the stained glass is truly stunning, even the floors/ ground are beautiful! I love old architecture, I'm soo amazed by the vision and ability folks had way back then and it was done by hand, it's absolutely astonishing! Thank you for sharing, I'm going to go back for more site seeing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My God! That Cathedral is so, so BEAUTIFUL! Thank You for bringing us along this visit. It was amazing. England, France all of Europe has so much history. My roots come from there. Gosh! You 2…You have so much energy…That hallway will be spectacular, I am certain. Take care 🌹
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved the video, as always. I had been wondering what fabric you would use for the curtains in the hall, forgetting that you had already purchased the fabric that matched the wallpaper you had removed! Can't wait to see the curtains hanging in the hall, and I love the sconces that are already hung.
Oh thank you!
Loved the segment of the Cathedral… the ceiling and stained glass simply blew me away! What a fabulous structure… thanks for the tour!
Our pleasure!
The tour of the Cathedral was gorgeous can you imagine the masons carving all those statues, incredible. Thank you so much for sharing I did not even know that from where I live it would only take me 2 hrs and 10 minutes to get to Winchester. I am certainly going. Thank you Adrian and Carole.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for the cathedral your. All I have to say is wow! It’s amazing the hard work and dedication it took to build. Just wow! The hallway at the Chateau is look beautiful! It’s amazing what a difference some elbow grease and paint can make. Thank you for sharing your journey. Much love to you both from Idaho USA.
Our pleasure!
Brilliant. Hard work & dedication. I’m sure that feels GREAT! Good job.
Yes! Thank you!
The cathedral was gorgeous! The hallway is looking great as well! I really enjoy your videos!
Thank you so much!
For me, those sconces compliment the shape of the bannister on the stairs very well. Looking at the sconces my eyes immediately are drawn to the bannister in the background and back. Nice choice. Now you are going to ruin it by putting shades on them. 😆😆😆😆😆
The hallway is looking so good Carole.....well done, it is so bright and light now....love it!! Adrian, you have done a great job on all of the hallway flooring and insulation.....it will be so much cosier this winter! The bamboo is nasty and am so glad to hear that you have found a way to kill it off. It's almost as bad as the ivy!! The chateau looks beautiful....you have done so much and have breathed new life into it. Well done!!
Thank you Jane 😊
Best way to get rid of nettles for good is to dig out all the roots. Wear gloves, the roots sting as bad as the plant!
Love all your work can not wait for your next update ❤
Very soon!
Nice video, you two! Love how the hallway is looking. Just that primer makes it brighter that my eyes go woe! Hello Beth, nice to see you again. Are you home on summer break from school & work?
She’s on a Uni placement year working at the NHS. Over here for some of summer, then back to her last year at Uni
Another lovely video of daily progress in your marvelous château ❤
Thanks for everything you do to share such beautiful sights!
Brilliant video Brilliant work both of you loved the tour round the cathedral 🤗👍🤗👍🍷🍾🍷 Love Sue❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it
The hall looks so bright and inviting and the sconces looks amazing. But your staircase is so beautiful can’t wait to see it finished ♥️
I Can't wait! Either
