The Château Cottage Drainage & Interior Stone Wall. Ep 17
This week at the château, Tony gets the heavy machinery out and starts work on the cottage drainage, as when it rains at the château it pours. As the pipes have to be underground, it means a little more digger for the incredible duo.
Tracy is busy on the interior of the cottage, re pointing the stone wall in the lobby with some fantastic final results.
And finally, the pair tackle the salon ceiling. Treating it for its last coat of woodworm, filling the gaps, staining all the old beams, and repainting the section in between. It is great to finally see what some of the finished interior decor will be like.

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.

How great is to recap the end of a hard work day at sunset, enjoying a glass of wine and petting a dog!
Loved the vlog this week, as always. My neck began to ache just watching you do the ceiling work! I love how kind you two are, especially with Jonathan. It’s so obvious you both love him greatly by the way you look at him. You’re so very patient, and you’re teaching him to be the same. 💕
And to have a Great work ethic & appreciation of it! So many people don't give that to their children nowadays! They give freely making the handout not valued! It's obvious Jonathan is being brought up well! 🌹
They are such wonderful grandparents.
It is going to be a gorgeous cottage. Can't wait to see it being done. Tracy, you are natural, what a great job you've done on that wall. Amazing! It looks so effortless on a video but whatever you do, guys, I know it is an intense hard work. That is why it is so important to finish the cottage first, for you to have a comfortable warm home in winter where you can have a proper rest. No more caravans or draft rooms in a barn. Before you start tackling the main bulk of the work in a chateau you need a cosy base for yourselves and Johnathan. Another great episode of your life. Thank you for sharing.
Tracy: "Alright for a first-timer" What!? It looks like a "Professional" job! My Lord, y'all must go through a Lot of Advil & muscle ointment! Looks Great! It's Too Bad someone coming in after it's finally finished just sees the results & has no idea of how much it took to get to that finish! Great thing u have these videos for future generations, or owners (depending on how u go) to see the effort that went into it! Jonathan can say to his small children or grandchildren "See I helped even when I was smaller than you are!" 🌹
Hello wonderful family 🙋♀️ see you all later ☺️🐾🐾🐾
Thank you very much, will see you soon 🥰
I have only recently begun watching these videos & wanted to start from the beginning. The amount of work you guys have gotten accomplished is insane for just two people! My hat is off to you both Tony & Tracy🎩
Thank you so much and thank you for joining us 🙏🥰🥰🥰
Love watching the chateau come back to life. The cottage is also making such good progress, you both work so hard xx
Thank you very much 🥰
You are both such hard workers and doing an amazing job. It's a pleasure to watch your channel.
Hi @escape to the dream, woke up at 06.25am and clicked waiting then lol never can be too early. Hello to @Sylvia x @Helen Stella x @La petite dame, and @Jill Foster xxxx. I look forward to seeing you, and many more of our chateau friends, on one of the best chateau sites x
Hi Marnie 🙋♀️ see you later 😊🌷
See you later for a wonderful watch x
Thank you very much, hope you enjoy it 🥰
Marnie it was well worth the wait - I have just watched all the hard work. What a dream team they are 💐
Tony and Tracy you are a great team. Your workmanship is excellent and I enjoy watching your progress on the cottage.
Tracy your no novice! Love how you get stuck in one for the girls!!!
She is definitely not afraid to tackle the jobs 🥰
Sitting in the Ferry line waiting for a boat home. 3 of my chateau shows were ready to view and there was no question which one it would be. Yours! Looking forward to seeing the tile episode in the future.
"Alright for a first timer"!!! It's fantastic! It's coming together so well. Can you please include a pan around the space you are working on before you start the job and then again when it's done so that we can really appreciate the work and transformation?
You never cease to amaze me Tony and Tracy! good job on that pointing Tracy and on the drainage, Tony, but don't forget to mark it for when you and Tracy start digging flower beds which I'm REALLY looking forward to because it may mean that the really hard graft is over! 💜
Nothing better than to sit down on a Sunday evening and watch your channel.
Thank you so much 🥰
The pointed walls!!!! Swoooooon! and then the BEAMS!!!
❤️🏰 Thank you for the vlog; Terry, Ash, Patrick, Panda, Petal and Tracy, Tony, Jonathan, Louie, Sasha ❤️
Always a pleasure to see the progress you make. None of this is for the faint of heart. "Sun bathing...We live in hope". I hope that comes sooner than you think it will.
Fabulous. The work is really coming along 😊 I think your love for your Chateau is growing as each little job gets done. And our love & admiration for all you guys is growing too 💕🐾🐾🐾
Well done again you two, such hard workers No Jonathan this week to help you. Missed his smiling little face. Hope the boys soon arrive from England to take over some of the work for you. Look forward to seeing what you get up to over the next couple of weeks ☺️💕
She is a natural at that tuck pointing!!
She has done a fantastic job 🥰
I am really enjoying your videos. It's a grand thing to see the buildings come back to life. You should be v.comfortable and cosy by the time winter strikes again. And, from one who is slowing a little on the diy front, enjoy that wonderful feeling of accomplishment!!!
Oh goody 👏👏
Hope you enjoy 🥰
I love everything about your videos. Equally as important, my partner loves them because he knows at the end of them I’ll be inspired to do some DIY. Today it will be stripping and refinishing an old family chest of drawers.
You two are so amazing. Soon to be a complete family living on the property. Exciting. Keep on trucking. Well done!
You guys are so humble, I love that. Just cracking on, taking us with you along the way, thanks so, so much for sharing.
a couple of big plastic rainwater tanks to supply house water would have been a good idea
Give Tony a vacantion, What that men does and his wife is amazing to see. Thanks for this week film is have missed it
Thank you very much 🥰

It seems I need to do some serious binge watching. I spent so much time watching Chateaus on KZhead I was getting nothing done here at home...lol.. except work!!! I do love it and you guys are so inspiring and hard working.

Excellent hard graft well done Makes those who make sponge look silly for whining about life.
Great job guys! Can't wait for next episode
Thank you very much 🥰
Well if that’s the first time pointing it’s a hell of a job 👏👍🏻 and as for lights after Christmas... 😳 down to the brocante with you NOW 💡😂😂 great stuff and hard working 👍🏻
Yes Tracy has done a fantastic job of the wall, and I think we may just get a light in before Christmas 🥰
Hi all, got here a little late! My TV batteries caput, but I’m just in wonder on how they get this done themselves. Just amazing pride and labor on their part. Shows true dedication can help you go far!
You both work so hard and you have my full admiration 😊 well done for what you are achieving 😊😊
O Tracy you work so hard … you will reap the rewards 💋😘🙏🙏
Your pointing is beautiful that wall is AMAZING 😱 Gutter system is very nice. I like the choice in the pipe colour. See you soon.
Can’t believe Tracy won’t let you sunbathe, but you 2 are doing amazing I’m loving watching xx
Wonderful! You are such hard workers and I expect you're wanting to get the cottage done well before the winter comes in. That pointing looked amazing Tracey, makes me want to have a go! Well done guys. Looking forward to the next video!
*Very excited to see todays upcoming episode! After seeing the flooding that Chateau Lagorce that Ed and Anna suffered through, recently, I worry for all of you there in France with these projects. The roofs and the drainage in general seems to be the most important for the chateau's survival! France seems to be getting hit so hard (as is Europe in general) it seems! Bon Chance!*
Yes it is always a worry, that is why making the buildings watertight is our main concern 🥰
Very soon it will be a home made by your own hands putting your love into it.
Sue Hall Looking good Well done Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧🍾🍷🍷
Tracey you are amazing. You can tackle anything. You are a dream team. The boys are lucky to have you working on this project. I love watching these chateau families working side by side to create not only a home for you all, but a future business as well!
Yes what a great job Tracy, very impressive.
Gosh , Your Doing An Amazing Job, and Wonderful To See Tracy with a Relaxing Drink 👌👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
We all need a nice glass of wine at the end of a long day 🥰
Your doing great. 👏👏
Thank you very much 🥰
Tony! C'est la vie! Dude, you're speaking French!!!
You are the hardest working family in the chateau universe. Love watching your channel. And a great job you are doing! Thanks for sharing.
love the vids, love you guys, keep up the good work, hugs to you all ,
It's been a joy to see it coming thru. Though I know it is not always joyful on your part. Plenty of hard labor.
Thank you very much, yes Tracy and Tony do get a lot of hard jobs to do 😮🥰
Hi Tracy and Tony, Thank you for another great vlog. You are both amazing and inspirational with your hard work and tenacity, super role models for little Jonathan. Love from lockdown in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

It is looking beautiful. The drainage is so important as I know from my home. The pointing looks great. Again well done. cheers from Oz.
Kudos to you both for all your hard work, yet recording what you do to share with us as well....it's an adventure that I really enjoy. That was so cute when Jonathan put one of his favourite toys in the wall for someone to find many, many years from now. You are a wonderful family!
Tracy, you have mad re pointing skills!! It turned out gorgeous 😍
I enjoyed this video. Keep up the great job. Look forward to the next update.
I can't believe how much you have gotten done since Tracy has arrived
You amaze me with each video..Well done.

Love your weekly chats at the end of the vlogs cheers.
You two are incredible! Such steady and good work. An inspiration. Love your videos.
It looks great Tracy!
Great you’re saving the rain water - time to put in vegetable garden 😊 I’ve heard plenty about food shortages coming.
Wonderful progress the cottage is really coming along quickly now , can’t wait to see a chandelier or two next ! Lol. By the way I meant to mention , it’s a good idea to scrape off the stickers on the new windows , if left too long the light and sun etches permanent marks on the glass, don’t ask me how I know this . 🤬
Thank you very much your the advice 😊👍
Another fantastic job, true grafters keep up the good work great to see the transformation and the place brought back to life.
Nice job all around. It's really coming along. All your hard work will be appreciated hopefully. Love the time capsule idea.. Looking forward to the next vlog 😍
Tony and Tracy must end their day completely exhausted and their muscles must be aching as well!! But your work is amazing to watch! The cottage is coming along! Very exciting!! Thanks for sharing 💞
